Written by Salvatore Minetti, CEO and Founder of Prospex.ai
There's no denying the transformative impact online crowdfunding platforms have had in supporting the next generation of scaling UK businesses.
Since the onset of the global financial crisis, a time when businesses and consumers were suddenly confronted by stringent lending measures from high street lenders and mainstream institutions, alternative finance has played a critical role in ensuring concept proven start-ups have access to growth capital.
By connecting investors with a burgeoning network of startups demonstrating immense growth potential, crowdfunding platforms ensure entrepreneurs are able to finance their long-term expansion. As a result, the number of startups in the UK is rising – in fact, between 2012 and 2017 approximately 3.5 million new companies were founded across Britain.
When it comes to launching a successful crowdfunding round, businesses can often feel overwhelmed by the volume of funding options available to them. And without a credible funding strategy in place, business leaders risk pursuing the wrong type of finance that is not compatible with their long-term growth model.
As the CEO and Co-Founder of Prospex – a company who has just launched a crowdfunding round on Syndicate Room– there are a number of important lessons startups need to keep in mind when seeking alternative finance.
What type of funding round are you planning to launch?
For start-ups that have only ever been self-funded, alternative finance can be daunting. The range of options can seem overwhelming at times, and part of the challenge can be deciding which type of investment to pursue. A survey from last year found that only 57% of SMEs feel they have a good understanding of the finance options available to them, while 47% fear that external finance could result in them losing control in the way their business is managed. Much of this boils down to a lack of awareness and understanding about the available funding models.
Entire books can be dedicated to the ins and outs of each respective funding model. But, more generally, to make the right decision, start-ups must address the following questions from the outset – what type of funding round will the business be launching (seed, or Series A, B, or C)? What is the fundraising target? How will the capital raised be used to support the growth of the company? Is it purely funding the business requires, or does it want mentorship or even some positive exposure? Answering these questions will inform a funding strategy best suited to the needs of the business.
Is your company more suited to equity or debt finance?
Prior to launching a crowdfunding round, a vital decision will need to be made – is your company more suited towards debt or equity finance? The answer to this question will depend on how the business plans to use the capital raised. Debt finance reflects the traditional loan model i.e. investor capital is loaned to company on the proviso that the loan will be paid back with interest. Within the alternative finance space, the most common form of debt finance is peer-to-peer lending, or debt crowdfunding.
On the other hand, equity finance refers to the process whereby people – ranging from retail investors to experienced business leaders and high-profile figures – invest in an early-stage company in exchange for shares. Unlike debt finance, investors are repaid by receiving part ownership of the company.
There are a number of factors to consider when determining whether a business is more suited to debt or equity finance. Both offer advantages and limitations, though in the UK there is a general preference for unlisted startups to pursue equity over debt. For SMEs that want to retain complete control and not dilute ownership to a community of investors, debt finance would be the most appropriate source of alternative capital.
However, for early-stage companies launching a seed of Series A funding round, equity finance can link these start-ups with well-connected investors who can offer their expertise, wisdom and industry connections to support long-term growth. Of course, it is important to be clear how much ownership the company is willing to offer to investors, striking the right balance.
Set clear, realistic funding targets
There seems to be an almost endless supply of news-stories about multi-million-pound funding rounds for UK startups. This can be a source of inspiration for startups about to launch their first funding round, but they cannot let these stories influence their plans for funding.
When looking to external finance, a startup needs to have a funding target in mind and a clear strategy as to how this money will be used to support the growth of the business. Simply focusing on raising as much capital as possible can create significant problems in the long-term. Funding needs to help a startup achieve a goal, not act as the objective in itself.
There has never been a better time for startups looking to raise finance. Investors are clearly keen to support the next generation of entrepreneurs, and government-backed initiatives such as the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) ensure a steady flow of capital is readily available.
Nonetheless, CEOs and founders need to be see funding as one element that will help fuel their companies' long-term growth. With this clearly in mind, these startups will be able to distinguish the type of finance they require and the appropriate amount to raise.

Hello Everyone,
This week I want to talk about the Containment Phase in Incident Response. As Always at the end of the blog I have my Tech Tip of the week.
The goal of the containment phase is to stop the damage being done. Fairly straight forward, right? Wrongo!
Many moons ago when I was a wee lad, I remember finding an ant hill. So I took a stick and poked a hole in it. At that time ants came pouring out of the hole I made, so I poked a few more, each time ants came flowing out of the new air conditioning I had just made for them. Needless to say the ants were mad and were bent on finding the attacker and neutralizing him. Fortunately for me of course I was hovering over them all and they did not see me, as they do not know how to "look up". Anyhow I left and went back a few days later and the holes were subsequently plugged back up again.
OK, where am I taking you?
Having a lack of Incident Response guidelines creates a very similar situation. There was a company not to long ago that got some nasty bit of malware in their environment and it was quite easily spread. When that happened tech people and managers seemed to pour out of the woodwork, all running to and fro bent on stopping this attack. Each one had loose ideas on what to do and they all ran around reloading machines in an attempt to plug the holes, all the while the machines reloaded became infected again.
On reflection I began to realize how much they all reminded me of the ants. All of them bent on stopping the attacker but not having a specific plan of action, a process, or set of guidelines on what to do, they all just flowed out in an attempt to overtake it all by mass of numbers.
Now don't get me wrong the approach does work, as it did for them, eventually they figured it all out and they are happily back up and running. However from and Incident Handler's perspective it was not well done. When you consider the time and effort and mistakes done by effectively re-inventing the wheel on what to do, they cost a lot more money by doing it that way instead of having a specific action plan. This is of course the whole point of Incident Response..Having a Plan! In the containment phase of Incident Response you want to prevent the attacker from getting any further into the organization or spreading to other systems.
In the case of the company I mentioned above they were creating the exact same environment before the attack occurred, which of course simply ensured that they would become reinfected. At a certain point when they all realized that this is not working they knew they needed to do some quick analysis of the infection (Identification phase), bring their anti-virus company on-board and see about what to do. Once this occurred they were able to begin to make progress as they figured out what it was and with the help of the vendor got the anti-virus engines updated and subsequently they began to clean their environment.
So instead of Red Alert, Red Alert, Oh My the Sky is falling, Prepare to enter Panic Phase! (Ants Running around not really knowing what to do) You already know what to do. Again don't get me wrong during an outbreak you definitely want to be as industrious as an Ant, it is definitely not the time for a lunch break! But by having a methodical plan of action you can perform short term containment while performing analysis to get a picture of what is occurring. That means not blindly destroying evidence to perform a quick short term containment. Had the company I mentioned above done this, they would have seen that reloading their machines would not be enough and all their hard industrious work would all be wasted. ( I talked about this in my blog on the Eradication phase, read about it here http://darknetconsulting.blogspot.com/2009/11/importance-of-eradication-phase.html )
So how does one perform containment? Well there is a short and long term containment. I will focus a minute on the Short Term. The short term is to stop the attacker from causing more damage. Pull the power cord, apply filters to network/security equipment, null routing, changing a dns entry etc... (It is interesting to note that while the company mentioned above was running around all their machines were connecting to a single source for Command and Control. A simple change in their network would have prevented them from doing so defusing some of the situation while they worked the internal issue. )
These all can perform short term containment while your team is still analyzing in the Identification Phase. It is very important at this point to absolutely Remain Calm! This is a difficult thing to do when it seems like your environment is burning down around you. However more mistakes and sometimes costly ones are done when people forget the Incident Response phases and go directly to Panic Phase (This is NOT and Incident Response phase by the way). This almost always elicits a knee jerk, shotgun it, Cowboy type of response, and it never goes well.
Perhaps I have an intruder and not necessary malware. This could be a compromised system that is being controlled. You might have an attacker live on the box. Needless to say you don't want to alert the attacker to your presence. So don't get on the system and ping back to the attacker. You don't want them to know you are aware of what is going on. Above all DON'T HACK BACK! Remember two wrongs do not equal a right, and you don't want to break any laws.
Isolate the system. To do so try to image it when it is live, unplug the nic or better just put the box in a dirty vlan, as some things are link state aware.
Get a memory dump using Memoryze (my favorite) before anything so you have the image in the most pristine way without you doing much of anything else of the system that will show up.
You want to be able to be able to make a forensic image of the drive(s) that are affected to perform your analysis. If you must bring the machine down, Don't do a graceful shutdown, windows for example writes some 200+ files to the drive every-time you do that, just pull the power cord!
Here is where it is important for your Incident Responder to practice, practice, practice. It never ceases to amaze me how I can make backup after backup in my sleep and then when an Incident occurs this becomes a bit of stress for me. Just recently I was given a drive that I needed to perform a bit image on. Well no problem I know what to do, and I get the drive and whoa...It is smaller than a credit card with a serial ATA connector that is mini in size. Well that just killed my cabling to usb as I did not have such a small connector. It was the first time I seen one like this. OK so I will put it back into the box and boot up with Helix. Get the box install the drive, boot to helix... Nope. The Linux o/s just crashes on this. GRRRrrrrr! Now at this time I am starting to feel the pressure, as I am keenly aware of the clock now. I have found these things happen again and again, something totally unexpected during an incident. I had one where the o/s was so dorked up that imaging it was a real challenge, we tried multiple ways including using netcat to pipe it's output over the network. After realizing that based upon the rate of speed it would take some 15 days to get the image this was intolerable! The bottom line is making images on a machine that is fine and not having any issues is easy, try doing it on one that has a messed up o/s, or real new hardware that you don't have drivers for in Linux.
Now that backup needs to be a bit-by-bit image. dd is a great tool that will work in Linux and there is a windows version as well. I however prefer dcfldd as it gives you a byte count as it is performing the image dump. This is all good practice for the incident responder. Every time I encounter a new difficulty I have it written done in my notes (incident responders know how to take notes) so that when I encounter it again I don't have the same difficulty.
Now lets talk about Long Term Containment. The reason for doing long term containment is to keep the system in production while you are busy building another clean system. This is usually because it is a critical system and it simply cannot be taken down.
Once we have our backup for analysis we can start to make changes to the compromised system. This usually involves patching, the system as well as other systems to get rid of the vulnerability that an attacker or other malware took advantage of. Change the routes to null route the attackers address, alter firewall rules, remove the accounts that the attacker used (assuming not root) to bust the box.
Be sure to keep the lines of communication open! You need to be talking to the business unit that owns the machine. Let them know where you are in the stream of time with regular updates. Have a person that can interface well with management. Be aware that whether you perform short or long term containment you many have a business impacting outage. The business unit needs to sign off on what they want to do.
This is where having a good plan already in place as to how we will handle given situations. Make sure they have been discussed with management and they approve on the different courses of action for given situations, but then that is what Incident Response is all about...HAVING A PLAN! Remember the ant analogy? Talk about scenarios, play the what if...game. Then when an incident occurs remain calm, and work the problem based upon those plans. This way you can minimize damage, minimize lost productivity and maximize your eficencency in dealing with the issues.
OK. Enough already! I know you want the Tech Tip. As always when I write these things I give a tech tip of the week. Well here it is:
Data Recovery - Using a command called fls (From The Sleuth Kit) we can perform basic data recovery. Most times if you have read my other blogs I talk about the Metadata Layer, or the Data layer. Well today we will look at the File Name Layer. The file name layer is looking at the structures of the directory that has files in it. So it has pointers to the names of the files contained within it (metadata)
Let's try it:
Using an image that you have carved out type fls you will see the entire root directory (assuming you are working on the root slice) and it will produce output d/d inode number /bin etc... notice if there are any files as well they will have an inode number too. If they have an * (asterisk) that means they are deleted files.
You have the inode number (metadata layer) you can use icat to simply carve out that inode and re-write the file.
Now that is the root directory. How about the rest of the drive. Try this command fls -rpd this will recursively search the image for all deleted files and directories.
Now I talked about linux, this works in Microsoft as well fls -rpd
You simply need to carve it out using icat. Type icat > name of file you want to call it.
*Note if you are using the FAT filesystem you need to use the -r flag with icat.*
Well that is this weeks blog and tech tip of the week. As always be good, be safe, hack legally and responsibly, and share the knowledge...I'm Out.

Up until now, Rob Zombie's film career has consisted of horror movies from House of 1,000 Corpses and the two Halloween films to his upcoming The Lords of Salem. It seems Zombie is set to move away from the horror genre as he is attached to write, direct and produce Broad Street Bullies, a film based on the upstart Philadelphia Flyers who went on to win two Stanley Cup trophies in the '70s. Zombie says he's aiming at making something that resembles, "Rocky meets Boogie Nights on ice." You either just pictured Dirk Diggler in the boxing ring or Rocky Balboa, um, yeah. [Deadline]

London councils make bid for winter urgent care planning and GP co-commissioning
London councils have made a bid to take on responsibility for winter urgent care planning, while also reiterating demands to take part in co-commissioning of GP services.
In a new paper, the councils recommend health and wellbeing boards (HWBs) - the local advisory bodies which has representatives from CCGs, social care and councils - to take on the planning for next winter to avoid a repeat A&E crisis.
They have further renewed calls, first made last year, for the boards to take an oversight role of CCG commissioning of GP services under co-commissioning regulations
The report comes just a week after news broke of Government plans to devolve the entire £6bn healthcare budget for Manchester to be under joint control of local authorities and CCGs.
The new paper said: 'HWBs should be given responsibility for operational resilience and capacity planning for 2015/16 with a requirement for these plans to be closely aligned with and ideally incorporated into local Better Care Fund plans.'
It added: 'In October 2015, a statutory order was passed enabling CCGs to form joint committees with each other and with NHS England for the purpose of commissioning services. London Councils would like to see this order extended to enable CCGs and local authorities to establish joint committees for this purpose. This would enable closer alignment between social care, public health and primary care commissioning.'
It also comes after a number of groups have analysed the future of healthcare planning for London in the last two years, including the The Better health for London report, led by Lord Ara Darzi for the London Health Commission, part of the London mayor's office, which said £1bn was needed to upgrade GP practice premises and make them open 12 hours per day.
A report by the London Assembly's health committee published last week suggested developing a 'salaried service' for general practice in the capital because of the high numbers of young GPs shunning partner positions.

Say goodbye to the NHS.
Council controlled services have all been sold off to private providers and of course we get our bins emptied more regulaly, the roads are well maintained and we have lovely well run part 3 homes with dedicated staff and close to relatives.
i cannot see me accepting an open ended council contract designed by people with no idea.
I think I'll stand for election!

As so many blogs, periodicals, and other wags have done, so shall I make my predictions for the year to come. Your own predictions are encouraged in the comments (as are your criticisms of the prognostications below).
- The House, but not the Senate, votes on (and passes) the Employee Free Choice Act. A surprisingly effective P.R. campaign by business and Republican leaders, utterly ignored by the media but well-received by the public, results in extreme political pressure to protect the secret ballot in union elections. President Obama and the Senate ultimately choose to "postpone" action on the bill in the midst of an economic crisis. Union leaders do themselves no favors when they threaten to strike at selected businesses in retaliation for their leadership in the pro-election movement. The bill will never resurface in the 111th Congress.
- A significant rise in church attendance and tithing lead to a media blitz on an emerging "faith movement" in the U.S. in response to dreadful economic conditions. Some on the far left complain that these new contributions aren't reaching the people "who most need them," arguing that they should be taxed by the federal Treasury. California's legislature takes them up on their suggestion in a desperate move to avoid bankruptcy (and, for some, to punish proponents of Proposition 8). Gov. Schwarzenegger vetoes the bill, but the backlash causes more legislators (Republicans and Democrats alike) to lose their seats in 2010 than in any election in state history.
- Sen. McCain enrages his one-time supporters by backing the Democrats' $1 trillion stimulus bill. McCain stands, beaming, next to President Obama as he signs the bill into law, and the President personally thanks his "good friend and former adversary" for his crucial assistance in passing the legislation. As McCain jettisons his one remaining economic principle in pursuit of popularity, Republicans, making great strides in renewing their brand as opponents of big government, believe they may have dodged a bullet. (update: Rick Santorum agrees with me on this one.)
- Eschewing a high-profile battle on greenhouse gas cap-and-trade legislation, which he knows would compound the recession, President Obama orders his energy and environmental team to issue dozens of stealth regulations intended to promote "energy efficiency" and "green development." The new rules, which are technology-specific, prove to be a huge boon to selected contractors and vendors but impose such enormous costs on business that many companies are forced to shut down older factories or close altogether. President Obama decries such behavior as "polluters forcing their workers to pay for their crimes," and he orders the Justice Department to explore ways to seize these "unpatriotic" companies' assets and redistribute them in payments to laid-off employees. Meanwhile, American manufacturing quickens its pace to the grave.
- Open violence in Palestine, ongoing revelations about the scope of the Madoff scandal, a botched attack on Iran by Israel (and subsequent nuclear brinksmanship that destabilizes the world for weeks), and several oddly-blunt media reports about the number of Jewish men and women leading big firms on Wall Street during the financial crisis lead to a shocking rise in anti-Semitic sentiment among Americans, and American youth in particular. Journalists attribute the trend to economically-impacted Southern whites returning to their base prejudices, but anti-Semitic violence and opinion are most prevalent in the blue states of the Northeast, which have been particularly hard-hit by the financial sector's troubles. European journalists decry a "new American Holocaust" after a particularly vicious attack against an elderly Jewish woman, but in doing so ignore decades of virulent anti-Semitism in their own countries. Without irony, international media reports continue to portray Israel as a warrantless aggressor in the Middle East. (update: Obviously, this is the prediction I least wanted to be true. Sadly, it seems to be.)
- Hollywood, having been freed from the *&@%!#^ Bush Administration, begins filming a gush of relentlessly romantic, unironic, optimistic, and almost-patriotic films. Revenues shoot up when these films are released in 2010, leading studios to believe that their fortunes have turned. By winter, however, the made-for-Oscar flicks revert to postmodern portrayals of human despair. The boomlet recedes, and all lessons are unlearned.
- After a sudden and unexpected collapse, at least one major U.S. city is left without a daily newspaper. In its wake, talented writers of all stripes join to create a multifaceted "blogalition," in which the city's local, sports, and cultural news is reported through a series of trusted and high-quality blogs. The model spreads to other cities, and the resulting ad wars put already at-risk papers in serious jeopardy.
- Economic conditions place a highly-popular Major League Baseball team publicly on the brink of bankruptcy. The resulting media firestorm leads the commissioner to call an emergency meeting of team owners to vote on a new revenue-sharing plan. Owners refuse to sign on without getting a revised salary scale with caps from the union. The union balks, and a standoff ensues. The stalemate is broken when the owners of 10 small-market clubs reveal how close each of them are to closing their doors, and faced with unemployment for almost half of their players, the union agrees to a team-based salary cap beginning in 2011. Faced with mass divestiture of its clubhouse, the Yankees get special dispensation to grandfather its current roster, resulting in the aging of its team into competitive oblivion.
- The U.S. economy will surprise everyone by showing actual GDP growth in the third quarter 2009. Unfortunately, this is the beginning of a long-term trend of low-level (1-1.5%) growth for the remainder of the Obama Administration, as the government is saddled with enormous debt, huge deficits, a weak dollar, expanding entitlement obligations, and poor tax receipts. A crippled bond market, combined with volatile equities markets, keep businesses from finding reliable means of financing expansion, despite apparent opportunities for growth. Some 40% of all mortgages are refinanced in 2009, but home sales and prices never make any measurable recovery from historic lows. Economists begin propounding that this is the "new normal," and that Americans must begin to accept austerity and immobility as a fact of life. The case against hope and change begins as a grumble in the grocery line.
Here's hoping the new year is happier than I've made it out to be! What do you think 2009 will bring us?

While a new type of advanced warfare begins, Cassidy and her team penetrate the dangerous underbelly of Omega's remaining secret societies to get closer to the Chancellor and to seize Omega technology…before it's too late to save the Western Republic.
Torn between loyalty, duty, and love, Cassidy Hart will go down in history as either the most beloved – or most hated – president of all time.
This means war.
From the bestselling author of 20 hit novels, including the popular Collapse Series, Summer Lane. This novel continues the adventures of the Resurrection Series and beloved heroine, Cassidy Hart.
EXCERPT:Uriah is inside my room when I enter—no surprise there. He's got his boots propped up on the table, languidly drinking a beer. He's assessing his weapons, which are spread across my bed. Guns, knives, you name it. If I didn't know any better, I'd say somebody was excited about this mission.
"Wow, look at you," I say. "Ready to go Rambo tomorrow, I see."
"Today, actually," he replies. "You're up late."
"So are you."
"I was waiting for you."
"You could have slept. It's not like we're married."
"Are you hinting, Cassie?"
"God, no. I've had enough of engagements and marriage talk for a while, thanks." I throw my stuff down on the table, folding my arms across my chest. "We should sleep."
"What did you find out?"
"I'll debrief you tomorrow, along with the rest of the team."
He smiles, although I'm not sure if he's annoyed or amused. This thing we have between us—this romantic tension, this all-consuming passion—is like the elephant in the room. It's here, and we're here…but nobody wants to bring it up. Not really.
"What are we doing here?" I blurt out. "You and I. What are we doing?"
Uriah takes a swig of beer, scratching the back of his head. I've honestly never seen him quite so relaxed, and it's irritating. Or maybe I'm just tired.
Or both.
"Chris is still trying to win your heart back, right?" he asks, shaking his head. "Guy doesn't know when to stop."
"Cut him some slack."
"Nah, why should I? He had his shot to make it work with you. He had years."
"Half of his family is dead. He and I were close for a long time."
"And that's his problem, not mine. We've all lost people." I sit down across from him, grabbing the beer.
"You didn't answer my question," I say, tasting it. Gross. Never liked beer. "What are we doing? Are we even in a relationship? Or are we just friends with benefits? What's the definition of what we are?"
"We," he replies, slowly, "are two people who can't stay away from each other. So here we are."
He takes the beer back.
I run a hand through my hair, frustrated. I am also aware that I am overtired and emotionally charged, so I try not to project my jumbled feelings onto Uriah. Ten points for Cassidy Hart for growing up…a little, at least.
"Relax," he says. "This is right. Just go with it."
"I want to know that you and I are going to last." I level my gaze. "I want you to promise me that you're not going to do something stupid."
"Me?" He pauses, and I can tell he is fighting the urge to make a sarcastic remark, something that I probably deserve. "I'm here because I love you. Good enough?"
He stands up and leans over my chair, one hand on each arm.
"What else do you want me to do?" he whispers. "I've followed you around the world, and I'd do it again. You shouldn't doubt how I feel about you. Doubt everything else…but not me."

Punjab opposition demands Rs 1 crore grant to kin of 27 state natives killed in Iraq
Describing the death of Indians in Iraq as "tragic," Amarinder Singh said as far as the compensation in the matter is concerned, there's a "standard procedure" for it.punjab Updated: Mar 22, 2018 18:23 IST
The Punjab opposition had a run-in on Thursady with the ruling Congress in state assembly over their demand of Rs 1 crore compensation for the families of 27 state natives killed in Iraq by IS after their abduction with other Indians there in 2014.
The run-in took place despite chief minister Amarinder Singh announcing a compensation to the victim families earlier as per the state policy and even agreeing to examine the policy to ascertain the feasibility of enhancing the compensation.
Immediately after the question hour on the third day of the ongoing budget session in Punjab Vidhan Sabha here, the Leader of Opposition and AAP MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira raised the issue of compensation to the families of 27 state natives out of 39 Indians killed in Iraq.
He urged Singh to announce a compensation of Rs one crore and a government job to one member each of the victims' families on humanitarian ground.
Describing the death of Indians in Iraq as "tragic," Singh said as far as the compensation in the matter is concerned, there's a "standard procedure" for it.
"We will certainly look into our policy and compensate," CM announced on the floor of the House.
The chief minister said the bodies of Indians killed in Iraq were expected to reach Amritsar within a week.
"I was told by the Union minister that there was a problem in the release of bodies because of some legal aspect in Mosul," he further said.
Speaking on the matter, Siromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia described the issue of compensation as a "serious and sensitive" matter and sought maximum compensation from the Punjab government.
"It is the responsibility of the Punjab government towards people of the state," he said adding "these families were very poor."
Majithia accused the state government of not providing monthly compensation of Rs 20,000 to the families of those killed in Iraq for the last six months.
He also raised the inconvenience caused to the families of two Balachaur youths over arrival of bodies as a result of goof up by district administration of Nawanshahr on the issue. "Families should not face any problem in getting the bodies," demanded Majithia.
Taking on Akalis, senior Congress leader Rana Gurmit Sodhi said it was the responsibility of the BJP-led Union government to provide compensation of Rs one crore each and a government job for the kin of those killed in Iraq.
"We are even ready to go with them (Akalis) if they take up this issue with the Centre for compensation," said Sodhi, triggering heated exchanges between the treasury and the Akali members.
Lashing out at Akalis, another Congress MLA Kushaldeep Dhillon asked the members of the House not to politicise this matter. "There should be no politics over this matter," he said.
External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj had informed the Parliament on March 20 that all the 39 Indians, who were abducted by ISIS in Iraq nearly three years ago, were killed and their bodies had been recovered.
As many as 39 Indians, who had gone to Iraq to earn their livelihood, had been missing since 2014 and 27 of them belonged to Punjab. They were from several places including Amritsar, Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala and Jalandhar

I have a gorgeous new find for you today. Absolute heaven. I walked through the door and inwardly squealed – does anyone else do that?!
Fabrique is a Swedish stone oven bakery newly opened just two weeks ago originating from Stockholm, specialising in sourdough breads and other traditional Swedish delights. Everything here is lovingly baked by hand using traditional methods to give their customers insight into what "real bread" should taste like when allowed to develop in its own time, away from accelerated methods used by supermarkets.
The bakery is subtly tucked away inside a railway arch just yards from Hoxton station (it's sign-posted directly outside the station at the back of the Geffrye Museum). Once inside, you're hit with the smell of warm, sweet spices-cinnamon and cardamom and of course the sourdough loaves of which an abundance awaits to greet you on display.
The overall space has a light and airy feel in true Swedish fashion. It's furnished deliberately sparsely making a feature from the industrial surroundings of exposed brick walls, corrugated iron roofing and concrete flooring. I loved the delicate little touches that softened the hard, industrial edge too-soft pink and lilac plates and cut glass beakers. Beautiful. It's all about the bread here, and hot damn it's good. Love the Fabrique look as much as I do? I've pulled together four items to inspire you to recreate your own industrial bakery in the kitchen. Look for organic materials-iron, steel and untreated wood and combine with soft pinks, charcoal grey and bright white. It's fresh, on trend and creates a statement without clutter and fuss.
- Sula Reclaimed Stool | Nkuku
- Spun reflector | Davey Lighting
- Solid pink organic shaped lunch plate | Rice
- Koda Tumbler | Zara Home

1 Comment on A Stylish Find / Fabrique Swedish Bakery, Hoxton
Looks amazing Tifanny. Love the vintage lettering on the wall and I can just imagine that warm aroma of freshly baked bread. Have a lovely weekend x

Color affects everything! My work is about color relationships and the energy that color can generate...paintings on silk and on canvas
Sunday, December 6, 2009
Art Walk, unruly pawns, and primitive shelter
Today I awoke early to get silks painted before we headed up north through snow to Bruce's land. As we drove north the snow lessened and the fields became golden again, not snow covered. The land welcomed us with sunshine and we dragged floor panels into the woods...not ready to put up the yurt yet, but we did construct a primitive structure, a first shelter 8x12 with walls of woven branches and pine boughs, stuffed some with leaves, tarp covered. Amazing to feel so warm in it when the winds blew and snow swirled. I was feeling sorry not to have brought my camera, but Bruce consoled me..."Take it with your eyes." Made us proud.

No winter sleep for you...out and about, snow or no snow. Preparing your silk despite the cold...making a way for the art making to continue.The chess set is a great photo, captures that holiday shopping feeling...finding the perfect gift, artisan made. Good luck this season...I believe people are slowing down and buying with thoughtfulness and your gallery should do well.

let me get this straight - am I to understand that you and yours spent the night in your hand built shelter? my oh my! I'm in awe - tis the season and your gallery sounds like it is marching to that beat - all success :)
- December 7, 2009 at 2:51 PM
- Maggie Neale said...
No, Jeane, we didn't spend the night there yet, but that's certainly part of the thinking. We will be packing the walls with snow and put a tent under the surrounding shelter. Bruce and I took off before dark and left my son and his friend to roast quail on a spit...they are the true adventurers.
Thanks, Mary Ann and Jean for your wishes for success! And ditto to you from me.

Great post, Maggie. I love the shot of the chess set. Wonderful to read about the yurt. More power to you! Must be very cool to put one together not to mention hang out in it amidst the snow. I am looking forward to seeing the scarves. Tis the season to shop. All the best with your gallery :-) xx

Beta Readers needed
For my upcoming novel
Details in this blog
Before there was an opportunity to publish a book on your own, free, through sites like Kindle Direct/Create Space and Smashwords, would be authors had to submit their work to agents and publishers. The alternative was to come up with at least a few thousand dollars to have the vanity press publish it for you.
Though you may think everyone deserves the right to publish their own book the one thing the old system prevented was a lot of premature publication. Quite a bit of the stuff I've been reading falls into this category. The authors of these books haven't matured as writers.
Maturity as a writer comes in two parts – craft and humility. I think they develop hand in hand. The more you write the better you get, and the better you get, the more you realize you can always improve. With the knowledge you're never going to get it right comes humility.
To put it another way if you haven't done your 10,000 hours of craft, it's not likely you're going to have any humility. Still don't get it? Okay, a lot of the new self-published authors I'm reading can't write and having decided to prematurely publish their work shows they have no humility either, or perhaps I should I say, yet.
Completing a novel, though a real achievement and something to be proud of, doesn't necessarily make worthy of publication. Yet that's exactly what so many new authors do. Filled with hubris they forge ahead with unrealistic expectations. The book dies and so do their dreams.
Before you begin to think I'm sounding all high and mighty I should tell you I cringe when I think of the material I submitted to publishers when I was young and full of myself.
Just recently, when my publisher decided to issue my third novel as a paperback I was given the opportunity to "tweak" it. I soon abandoned the project and told my publisher to let it go out without any changes. After reading the first few pages I realized once I started I would pretty much want to rewrite the entire thing. It was just so, well, mediocre.
If you've got the guts you'll consider this failure part of your apprenticeship, take what you've learned from negative reviews like mine at NOT YOUR FAMILY, NOT YOUR FRIEND BOOK REVIEWS and continue to write and improve.
So, to those new indie-authors whose books I've trashed here's some advice I didn't have space for or it wasn't appropriate to include in the review.
– I revise a manuscript a minimum three times or until I feel it's finished.
– Then I put it away for at least three months or however long it takes to get it out of my system.
– While I'm waiting to be purged, I work on something completely different.
– Once I've put some distance between my ego and the book I'm ready. I take out the manuscript and send it to as many beta readers for comment as I can. If you don't have a stable of readers who are free from conflict of interest, join a writing group online of otherwise and workshop the novel.
– At some point I gather all the comments and criticisms together and begin my final rewrite.
If you follow this method I guarantee your final version will be different and better than it was when you deemed it complete.
Speaking of which, I need to increase my roster of beta readers for my forthcoming sixth novel. This is not critiquing, but rather checking for plot glitches, discrepancies or anything else you think might improve the work. Finding typos and dropped words is also really helpful.
Your reward will be satisfaction at having input into the novel and being recognized for your efforts on the Acknowledgements Page. I will also return the favor if you're an author. Contact me at email@example.com
Stay calm, be brave, watch for the signs.

What is Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel Facial Cleanser?
As mentioned on product's official site, Sébium Gel Moussant is a product of Bioderma Laboratorie Dermatologique specifically designed for use by people with combination and oily skin. It is a purifying gel that cleanses and prevents blemishes from the cleansing stage of the skin.
Sébium Gel Moussant is sold in 100 ml. and 200 ml. tube formats and 200 ml. and 500 ml. pump bottles. A 200 ml. tube is sold at $10.39 on Amazon and a 200 ml. pump bottle for $11.36 also on Amazon.
Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel Facial Cleanser: Does it really work?
Bioderma Laboratorie Dermatologique is a pioneer in skin care since the 1970s. They have acquired unique expertise by infusing biology at the service of dermatology. Bioderma products are also available in over 90 different countries.
They have a wide variety of products designed to suit different skin types from sensitive to reactive to the injured and blotchy. They create their products in their own laboratories and undergo each through rigorous tests. It is also in their laboratories that they continue to research to innovate new products.
Bioderma also has a line of skin care products specifically formulated for kids.
Thanks to the proprietary Fluiactiv sebo-correcting complex, Sébium Gel Moussant gently cleanses the face and limits the formation of blemishes commonly experienced by people who have combination or oily skin.
What are the ingredients in Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel Facial Cleanser?
Sébium Gel Moussant contains a lot of ingredients, but the following are its key components:
Sodium Cocoamphoacetate
- It is an organic compound derived naturally from coconut oil
- Functions as a foam booster and skin conditioning agent
Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract
- Lends anti-inflammatory properties
- Prevent redness and itchiness
Copper and zinc sulfate
- Purifies skin
- Removes dirt and eliminates blemishes
Glycolic Acid
- This plant-derived acid is a proven exfoliator that removes dead skin cells while encouraging the production of new, healthy cells. It also helps unclog pores and by stimulating cellular turnover, it is an effective formula for improving the skin's texture and appearance. However, it may cause burning sensation to sensitive skin.
How to Apply Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel Facial Cleanser
- How Sébium Gel Moussant should be applied is similar to other products. Simply moisten face with water.
- Apply a small amount of Sébium Gel Moussant on palm and gently lather on skin.
- Rinse thoroughly with water and dry gently with a clean towel.
- Do this twice a day, once in the morning and another at night. Use Sébium Gel Moussant seven days a week.
- For best results, use Bioderma Sébium AI after washing and Bioderma sun blocks.
- Always read the label before using the product or best, consult first with your dermatologist before using it.
Benefits of Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel Facial Cleanser
- Designed for combination and oily skin, Sébium Gel Moussant gently cleanses and purifies the face. It limits sebum secretion, which as a result keeps skin away from common impurities such as pimples and whiteheads from developing. But it may make the skin dry and scaly in case of overuse of product.
- With its soap-free cleansing base, Sébium Gel Moussant works gentle on the skin and has good eye tolerance.
Disadvantages of Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel Facial Cleanser
- Like any other skin care product, Sébium Gel Moussant also has its share of drawbacks.
- Some report that after continued use, Sébium Gel Moussant made their too skin dry and people with high sensitivity to propylene glycol also report having allergies and irritations after using the product.
- Product also contains fragrance, which some may find unpleasant and generally irritating than good.
- Results will definitely vary from one person to another. While it is designed to work for people with combination and oily skin, try using Bioderma's complementary products
Final Verdict- Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel Facial Cleanser
Reviews may be split about Bioderma's Sébium Gel Moussant, but nevertheless, it is a skin care product worth considering if you are looking for a product that will work on combination and oily skin. The clinical tests the product has undergone is proof that its claims are not ordinary statements by company that has been in the industry for more than 40 years.

After years of working in the Equine Industry and seeing the amount of work hours lost due to strains, sprains and disc injuries to employees backs from repetitive lifting of heavy bales , we now use smaller bales for our IEC Equine Elite Bedding and Meadow Grass to help reduce the risk of Manual Handling injuries.
We spent time researching the guidelines for lifting, as the majority of clients that use our products are women and young girls.
Manual Handling Guidelines set out "recommended safe lifting limits" for men and women. The recommended maximum weight limit should be adjusted depending on how the load is being lifted, how close to the body the weight is held, and how high or how low the weight is lifted.

SOUTH MIDDLETON TOWNSHIP, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. -- Friends and family are in shock after learning 46-year-old Brian Hough of Cumberland County was killed when a limousine in upstate New York, drove through a stop sign and hit him.
"Certainly a very tragic instance and a phone call that a family member never wants to receive," said Mike Garland, family friend and spokesperson. "Not only have they lost a son but a wife lost a husband, a child lost a father and it's just a very tough time for them right now," he added.
Family friend, Mike Garland says the tragic story doesn't stop there.
Brian Hough's father-in-law was with him that day.
"Brian's wife not only lost her husband, but her dad," said Garland. "Certainly a tragedy for all people involved but magnified even more with the fact that they just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time," he added.
Hough was a Professor of Geology at the State University of New York at Oswego.
People who knew Hough, say that they remember him fondly.
"As soon as I heard the name, his face popped right into my mind," said Fred Withum, Hough's former teacher, superintendent Cumberland Valley School District.
Fred Withum was Hough's teacher at Boiling Springs High School in South Middleton Township, Cumberland County.
"All the science teachers at the time, chemistry, physics, biology, would have noted that he was that special kind of kid in the science department," said Withum.
Hough also had a passion for sports.
"He loved sports, he was on the track team at Boiling Springs, he was also on the soccer team at Boiling Springs," said Garland. "Still today was playing Hockey recreationally with friends, had built a small hockey rink in the back for his son to play and learn the game," he added.
"He had a great sense of humor, he had quite the little smile and smirk when he needed it and he was just one of those guys that everybody knew, everybody liked," said Withum.
A GoFundMe page to support the family of Hough can be found here.

The Santander Performing Arts Centre is without a doubt one of the most important cultural centers in Latin America, taking its place among the great art centers in this continent, Europe and Asia.
The University of Guadalajara extends the city's and region's cultural offerings with these performance spaces, which meet the most demanding musical, dance and theater production technological requirements. Equipped with the highest technology, its interior is also overlaid with an inviting design of regionally sourced wood, which gives local character to its main performance halls.
Arroniz Building, Ministry of Culture
Calle Reforma 476, Zona Centro, 44100 Guadalajara
This space was occupied by the convent of the Augustinian nuns of Santa Monica, hence it is also known as the "Alcázar de Santa Mónica". It was founded in 1719, and was left empty in 1859 due to the War of Reform.
It is then when the tapatío printer D. Dionisio Rodriguez, acquired this enclosure in 1868 and lent the facilities so that they were occupied by the Seminary of Guadalajara. With the rectory of Agustín de la Rosa, the seminarians moved to the Ex convent of Santa Monica to continue their studies. However, due to structural failures the ship began to suffer landslides, so in 1890 the authorities of the Seminary decided to start the demolition of the place to build a new one. It was the engineer Antonio Arroniz who was responsible for carrying out the construction project.
The Arroniz building was born in full Porfiriato, hence the aesthetic architectural conditions. It was until 1902 when the work was finished, with the conclusion of an eclectic space, which plays with art nouveau and Moorish elements. Its courtyard consolidates a Renaissance style, similar to Milanese patios in the Italic peninsula, consolidated with Zapotlanejo gray quarry. It is characteristic the intense color of the bricks, which, similar to the tezontle, paint the walls deep red.
The Seminary soon said goodbye to its home, due to the troops of the constitutionalist army took over the building in 1914, turning it into a military barracks. Until a few years ago it was known as the XV Military Zone, today this building is the central office of the Secretary of Culture Jalisco.

Creamy, warming, mouth watering, butternut squash soup is just what the body needs as the temperatures start to chill. This delicious soup is simple to prepare and you can make it in your hands off Instant Pot, or stove top.
It's dairy free, and naturally gluten free. Plus it's oil free to keep the fat and calorie content low, and can easily be made nut free if needed.
Whether it's soup season, or any other season, there's something especially comforting and nourishing about a nice bowl of soup. If you love soups as much as I do, I encourage you to check out this incredible collection of healthy vegan soup recipes too!
Or, if you're still with me on the squash soup, let's get right to it.
How do you make butternut squash soup?
Whether you're making this soup in your Instant Pot or on stove top, begin by adding your holy trinity of veggies into the pot. Onions, carrots, and celery are a such a great way to start any soup. They deliver so much flavour to the finished product.
Sauté these three ingredients with a tablespoon or two of water, until softened, about 5 minutes. I'm using water to limit the calories here, but if you prefer, you may also use a neutral oil to sauté.
Next, you will add all remaining ingredients to your pot, except for the milk. If using your Instant Pot, close the lid, set the valve to sealing position, and set to high pressure for 6 minutes. Keep in mind, it will take about 15 minutes to reach pressure. If you're cooking on your stove top, bring your pot to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer for about 20-25 minutes until fork tender.
While the soup is cooking, this is a good time to prepare your sour cream, if using. Then refrigerate until needed.
When your soup is cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the ingredients. If you do not have an immersion blender, you may carefully transfer the soup in batches to a stand blender.
Once smooth, stir in your Cashew Milk or plant milk of choice. Use soy or coconut milk if avoiding nuts. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if desired.
Then serve in bowls, garnished with Dairy Free Sour Cream (Cashew Cream) if using.
How to customize this butternut squash soup recipe?
If you'd like to make some variations, feel free to use your imagination, or try one of these substitutions.
- You may wish to roast your butternut squash to add even more depth of flavour. To do so, roast the squash while the soup is cooking with the remaining ingredients. Then once cooked, add the squash to the pot and blend.
- Have fun with different garnishes! Try pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, fresh grated nutmeg, smoked paprika, vegan Parmesan cheese, fresh chives or sage, or vegan walnut cheese sauce.
- Want to make it sweeter? Use honeycrisp or golden delicious apples instead of granny smith, and use sweet potatoes instead of yellow. You may also add some maple syrup or unrefined coconut sugar to really amp up the sweetness.
- Want to add some kick? Add a dash of cayenne pepper, or a chili or jalapeno pepper to the mix.
- If you'd like to up the protein content, skip the milk and blend in some silken tofu instead. (If you hate tofu, I promise you won't know it's in there!)
This recipe is so customizable, so feel free to make it your very own! Let me know in the comments below how you make your butternut squash soup. Enjoy! 🙂

The story is told from the perspective of Travis Mayweather, while on the Enterprise (NX-01).
On October 4, 2159, Hoshi Sato is hit by a microscopic spatial anomaly. This causes a small change of her mind. Because she has just been pranked by Charles Tucker III and Malcolm Reed, she seeks revenge. Reed apologizes and she lets him slide. This leaves Tucker.
When Tucker fails to apologize, Hoshi takes matters into her own hands. Seeing that Tucker is attempting to reconcile with T'Pol while at Movie night, she secretly splices the Ingmar Bergman film, The Seventh Seal with some scenes from the pornographic film, Debbie Does Dallas.
Before Hoshi can be caught, Jonathan Archer suspects the man responsible for Movie night, Chandler Masterson, and his projectionist, Aidan MacKenzie. Mayweather urges Hoshi to finally confess and let Masterson and MacKenzie off the hook.

Lilac love
- Posted on
- By Elise Menkveld
Purple as a fashion color can no longer be denied. Read in this blog why you should go for the colour purple in your look and how you combine this beautiful colour!
A bit of history around the colour purple
Purple is originally a colour that was considered very exclusive. This is because the colour was very hard to win from nature. The colour could only be obtained from sea snails and this is why it was so extremely expensive that only emperors or noblemen could wear this specific colour. Fortunately, this is colour is nowadays available to everyone who loves it!
Meaning of purple
Purple stands for magical, luxury, mysterious, feminine, creative and romantic. With (a touch of) purple in your outfit, you have an unusual look and shows that you have the courage.
Shades of purple
Popularly, lilac, lavender, eggplant and violet are soon called "purple." There is, however, such a difference in these colours and shades.
What do you think of the colour purple? Does it make your heart beat faster? Or are you afraid that purple might not be 'your colour'? In that case, do not immediately pull that ultra violet coloured dress from the clothes rack, but experiment with purple accessories. Carefully start complimenting your outfit with purple jewelry, shoes, make-up, scarf, or bag.
The nice thing about the colour lilac, is that this colour fits almost all skin tones. That is different with colours such as red, yellow or orange. You can easily mix lilac with mint green and pastel pink. In the image below, a lilac suit is combined with BULAGGI's crossbody bag Angel. On this crosbody bag you can see a colour combination of various pastel shades including the colour lilac
Combining purple
Many people find it difficult to combine the colour purple with other colours. Actually it is not too bad. Moreover, it does not always have to be combined with other colours. You can opt for a ton-sur-ton look in the colour purple.
Purple can also be beautifully combined with fuchsia pink or dark pink.
Purple pastel shades always match well with other pastel colours such as green, blue, pink or yellow.
