Amphoteric surfactants are very mild with good cleansing properties, making them a key ingredient in shampoos and other cosmetics. In addition, they are applicable in softeners for textiles, hair rinse formulas, and corrosion inhibition additives. Moreover, the rising use of these surfactants in household applications such as laundry detergents, dishwashing, hard surface cleaning, and food service and kitchen hygiene is likely to favour the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific is expected to be the largest and fastest-growing amphoteric surfactants market during the review period. This can be attributed to rapid industrialization and increased consumption of amphoteric surfactants in the personal care and cosmetics industry. The growth of the regional market is driven by favourable government policies, increasing disposable incomes of individuals, and rising consumer awareness regarding personal well-being.
The US is expected to lead the market in North America owing to the high product demand in industrial cleaning and personal care applications.

Union home minister Rajnath Singh releases Crime in India 2016 report, most BJP-ruled states top the charts under various categories of crime
The latest statistics of prevalence of various crimes across India, released by Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday, come as a major embarrassment for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his BJP. The report – Crime in India 2016 – compiled by the National Crime Records Bureau shows how several big BJP-ruled states top the charts when it comes to various categories of crimes, be it murder, rape or atrocities against oppressed classes.
According to the Crime in India 2016 report – a compilation of all categories of crime registered under the Indian Penal Code and other laws for the period between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016 – while Uttar Pradesh accounted for 9.5 per cent of all crimes reported in India, BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh – the state where the saffron party first initiated its Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign – recorded the highest number of rape cases.
Meanwhile, the national capital where the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in the state and the BJP-led central government have been caught in a raging war of executive brinkmanship for the past two years reported the highest crime rate (974.9) for the year 2016.
The NCRB has also introduced several new sections to its annual Crime in India report this year; publishing data on 19 metropolitan cities with a population of over 2 million, data on missing persons & children, Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN), and arms seizure.
According to the report, a total of 48,31,515 cognizable crimes comprising 29,75,711 Indian Penal Code (IPC) crimes and 18,55,804 Special & Local Laws (SLL) crimes were reported across India in 2016.
Though law and order is a state subject, this figure in itself should come as an embarrassment for Prime Minister Narendra Modi for two specific reasons – first, the BJP has since 2014 wrested control to a majority of Indian states and second the data shows that the saffron party's poll promises of ensuring security of citizens, especially women, and cracking down on rogue elements has failed considering that the national prevalence of crime has gone up by 2.6 per cent since 2015 when a total of 47,10,676 cases had been reported across India. Compared to the data from the Crime in India 2014 report, the increase is even higher – over 5 per cent.
While IPC Crimes have increased by 0.9 per cent (from 29,49,400 in 2015 to 29,75,711 in 2016). SLL Crimes have increased by 5.4 per cent (from 17,61,276 in 2015 to 18,55,804 in 2016).
The only solace to be drawn from the report is the minor decline in total number of murder cases in the country – down by 5.2 per cent (total of 30,450 such cases 2016), along with a similar dip in cases of rioting (5 per cent) and robbery (11.8 per cent).
However, several heinous crimes including crimes against women like rape, sexual assault and molestation, have shown an upward swing. This at a time when the Prime Minister has been regularly speaking about women safety and, as he did recently during the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Hyderabad, recounting the measures his government is taking towards empowerment of women.
According to the report, 'Crime Against Women' have reported an increase of 2.9 per cent in 2016 over 2015. Majority of cases under this category were reported under sub-heads like 'Cruelty by Husband or His Relatives' (32.6 per cent) followed by 'Assault on Women with Intent to Outrage her Modesty' (25 per cent), 'Kidnapping & Abduction of Women' (19 per cent) and 'Rape' (11.5 per cent).
Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led Madhya Pradesh, where the BJP has been in power since 2003, has once again reported an increase in rape cases and also been ranked the highest among all states when it came to incidence of rape.
The overall incidence of rape across Indian states saw an increase of 12.4 per cent – going up from the 2015 data of 34,651 cases to the 2016 data of 38,947 cases. Madhya Pradesh alone accounted for 4882 of these cases, followed closely by Uttar Pradesh, which reported 4,816 rape cases and Maharashtra with 4,189 cases.
It may be noted that of these three states, the BJP was not in power in Uttar Pradesh during the time when these cases were reported as the state had a Samajwadi Party government, led by Akhilesh Yadav in 2016.
Another category of crime which has shown a disturbing upward swing in 2016 is that of atrocities against people from the scheduled castes and scheduled tribe communities – an increase of 5.5 per cent over 2015. Of the 40,801 cases of atrocities against scheduled caste community members, 10,426 were reported from Uttar Pradesh accounting for 25.6 per cent followed by Bihar with 14 per cent (5,701) and Rajasthan with 12.6 per cent (5,134) during 2016. Under the atrocities against scheduled tribes sub-head, Madhya Pradesh ranked first, accounting for 1,823 of the total 6,568 cases registered in 2016. Rajasthan accounted for 18.2 per cent of these cases (1,195) while Odisha was ranked third with 10.4 per cent cases (681).
The crimes and atrocities against the SC/ST community have become a rallying election point in poll-bound Gujarat where people from these oppressed communities, especially the Dalits, have been complaining of unprovoked aggression against them. The Congress party has been trying to woo the Dalits, STs and other backward classes of the state in its Gujarat Assembly election campaign by regularly speaking about such atrocities being committees against them allegedly by fringe groups who are patronized by the state's ruling BJP. The Congress has also formed a truck with Dalit leader Jignesh Mewani and OBC leader Alpesh Thakore (who has joined the party and is contesting the polls as a Congress candidate) while promising them that, if voted to power in the state, the party would ensure that such crimes do not recur.
With the Supreme Court, earlier this year, coming down heavily on the Centre for not declaring data on missing children, the Crime In India 2016 report has for the first time listed cases under this category, revealing that a total of 1,11,569 children were reported missing last year. While this figure in itself appears to be a gross undervaluation, the report claims that of these 1, 11, 569 missing children, 55,944 were traced were traced. The overall figure of missing persons (adults and minors) stood at 5,49, 008 for 2016.
Among the metropolitan cities covered in the report, Delhi predictably ranked the highest in total number of IPC crimes, registering 38.8 per cent of the total of 2,95,002 IPC crimes registered across 19 such cities that were covered in the report. Bengaluru with 8.9 per cent and Mumbai 7.7 per cent were placed at the second and third spot respectively in IPC crimes registered.

Maureen over at Buttons and Bling gave me the Kreativ Blogger award. That means I have something to post this week as I have had no time to stamp!! I'm counting sleeps until school starts (just 10 to go until their first full day) as I am very low on "mommy time" and stamping time after a wonderful summer with my kids! Sorry to any teachers out there (Maureen) as your job begins even before my ten sleeps are over with classrooms that need to be set up, then you get a brand new batch of kids you need to "train" as to how you run your classroom, a fresh batch of parents to deal with etc., etc.
As part of this award I need to state 7 things that people may find interesting about me. They are as follows:
1. I have lived in 4 countries - Costa Rica, USA, Canada, The Netherlands.
2. I worked with Billy Graham for a summer during the Vancouver, BC Crusade and for a year in Amsterdam where we prepared for and then hosted a two week conference for itinerant evangelists from all over the world to attend. There were approx. 10,000 participants who attended and we had to set up everything from booking accommodations, transportation, meals, flights, and a whole lot more! It was an amazing year to say the least!
3. I have never permed, coloured or highlighted my hair (it's naturally curly).
4. I was born in Costa Rica.
5. I was not naturally blessed with many creative genes so my "one creative gene" had to go into major training when I started making cards LOL! I love SCS and various blogs I follow as they have stretched my one creative gene to the limits and helped me improve my card making abilities over the past few years.
6. I am extremely competitive! Had to give up most of the sports I did when after my kids were born so I now compete against DP and layouts :)
7. On my 21st birthday while at university, I had 21 different guys throughout the course of the day each give me a rose and sing me happy birthday. It started at 7:00 a.m. and ended at 10:30 p.m. with a bedtime story. One guy showed up in a scuba outfit, another in a tux and played happy birthday on his violin, two arrived at the dining hall and the WHOLE dining hall on campus sang me Happy Birthday once they caught on to what was happening (over 500 people!), three guys with roses delivered them to me in the middle of my Sociology class in a lecture hall of about 450 students -- the Prof. even incorporated the interruption into his lecture as an example of what he was talking about
I don't know 7 other bloggers I can tag so I'll stop at this point for now. Thanks for tagging me, Maureen.
I hope to have some stamping time tomorrow so I should be able to post some things this week for you. Thanks for stopping buy!

Oh, I love #7!! did you know them? Who organized this? Was one your future husband? the only thing I can think of that was neat in university was that the 2 guys I was casually dating (just starting dating them, then went with one...my son's dad) put a Valentine's message in the UBC newspaper and each gave me flowers. It was nice and quiet at work today and I got the furniture and bulletin boards set up...wasn't too bad. The worst part will be all the talking in the first month...it's a killer on my vocal chords!! Can't wait to see your cards...I hope you use your new stamps!!

SCRIPTURE: John 5:36 "I (Jesus) have testimony weightier than that of John. For the very work that the Father has given me to finish, and which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent me." (NIV)
REFLECTION: The late Mrs. Grim was 94 years old when I interviewed her for a newspaper article. Her claim to fame was 57 years of service to the Salvation Army, a record in Uniontown if not in the Western Pennsylvania Division of the organization.
She couldn't understand why I was interviewing her. She had done nothing special, and she felt like she was bragging when I had her talking about her life. Yet, the work she was finishing testified to the fact that the Father had "sent" her.
Through the years, she had played the E-flat tuba, an instrument that outsized her and made a great impression on her listeners. She began playing the instrument when it was handed to her and her children taught her. She'd never played an instrument before.
Even after a bout with throat cancer, which was supposed to take away her voice but didn't, she played the brass horn. She quit at age 89, when she no longer had the strength to get the notes out.
For many years she collected monies for the Salvation Army, sometimes standing outside a department store ten hours a day. In her final days of bell-ringing, she put in five hours a day. She quit at age 89.
She went to bars on Saturday nights to collect money in an upturned tambourine.
Throughout the years she continued her activity in the Salvation Army church and its programs. She also worked in the soup kitchen and served when the Salvation Army was called upon for emergency assistance.
"For the very work that the Father has given me to finish…..testifies that the Father has sent me."
Will you continue your tasks that testify the Father has sent you as long as possible, or will you sit in an easy chair during your golden years, figuring you've earned your rest?
PRAYER: Lord, let me serve you as long as I am physically able, not becoming lax just because my age hits the advanced numbers. I know I have lots to give during my golden years. Amen.
Take Me Out to the Ball Game…So Reluctantly I Go
Two Photographers Named Cornell

In The UK, Online Royalties Top Radio Royalties
In the UK, royalties from online services jumped by 32% last year, according to a report from PRS for Music, the Performing Right Society in the United Kingdom for composers, songwriters and music publishers. In fact, royalties from online services (including both streaming and downloading) now produces more revenue than radio, according to the new report.
The growth figure reported by the UK body is very similar to the percentage increase recently reported by SoundExchange, the licensing and collection organization for performance royalties in the US. The 2012 reported figure for royalties collected in the US in 2012 was $502.2 million, a 35% increase over the 2011 number.
What's different of course is that in the US, performance royalties are not paid by broadcast radio services, so a comparison of online versus royalties from radio sources cannot be made.
On May 23 in Brussels we'll be discussing the business of Internet radio and online audio at RAIN Summit Europe. View the speaker list and agenda here.
rdio: 5 million songs, $17.5 million bucks
In the marketplace of streaming music services, rdio is one to keep an eye on. The on-demand service was launched last year by Skype founders Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström. Last week they revealed a new round of funding worth $17.5 million.
Rdio's main selling point is its on demand feature that allows you to build playlists with any artists, albums, or songs that you want to listen to. Once you've built a playlist, you can stream it from your computer or other connected devices, and share it with your friends. You can also sync playlists to your mobile devices and listen during times when you are not connected.
On demand access to Rdio's 5 million song library wherever you want it comes with a price – after a one week free trial Rdio charges $4.99 for access on your pc only, or $9.99 for web, mobile and other connected devices such as Sonos, a tabletop connected device that Rdio recently announced a partnership with.
Rdio's integrated with facebook, so you can sign in with your facebook account and share music and playlists with your network of friends. In addition to playing music that you have placed in your collection or in playlists, you can choose to listen to Artist stations, or stations built from your Heavy Rotation or Collection. There's also a recommendation feature that you can turn on or off.
Rdio's got a lot going for it, with a nice combination of on-demand streaming as well as features that let you sit back and listen when you don't feel like actively driving your listening experience. With kinda famous founders and the new money they've just rounded up, they've got staying power as well..
Streaming of a White Christmas
One of the easiest ways for stations to expand their programming to please their audience is with Christmas music. Tis almost the season, listeners will be looking for their favorite versions of White Christmas and Jingle Bell Rock before you know it.
AccuHolidays, the holiday music version of AccuRadio, offers an incredibly deep assortment of channels – Old Fashioned, Classical, Rudolph Radio, Jazz and Reggae channels, they even have a channel that only plays the songs Blue Christmas and White Christmas (in every rendition available). Now AccuRadio has launched Chicago's Christmas Channel, available on the Chicago Radio Online website.
Chicago is the homebase of AccuRadio, Chicago Radio Online is an online station similar to AccuRadio in technical features, but local to Chicago in its programming. The station features many well known Chicago personalities and is programmed by veteran radio air-personality and programmer Tommy Edwards.
There are several easy ways that stations can stream a holiday side channel. Slipstream Radio and Custom Channels are two companies in the business of building and managing a holiday channel that stations can add to their online programming options.
Amazon Jumps Into Streaming
There's definitely a trend among online behemoths (like Google, Apple) to purchase hip streaming music platforms (like Simplify, Lala) as tools for an upcoming entree into the streaming music marketplace.
Now Amazon buys Amie Street, an online music store that focused on independent musicians and worked on a unique pricing model based on demand for a certain song and artist.
Amazon will be shutting down the service and reportedly focusing on Songza, a recommendation based streaming service purchased by Amie Street in 2008. Customers who have credit at Amie Street can use it before September 22.
The company was started by several students at Brown University in 2006. Amazon invested in them in 2007. They've been kind of struggling since then, trying to be innovative, and work with the big labels, and hold true to independents, and make some money.
So now Amazon joins in the race to launch the perfect streaming music platform. There's plenty of room in the pool..
JL NOTES: There are some reporting that Amie Street founders will remain independent and working on Songza and that Amazon takes over only Amie Street the download platform.
Sony Will Stream Music Unlimited
Sony has announced that they will launch an online cloud based music service called Music Unlimited before the end of the year. The service will stream music to Sony's TVs, Blu-ray players, and connected mobile devices, which will also be able to cache and store songs for offline listening as well.
Sony released the news on the same day that Apple announced its iTV and new version of iTunes, indicating their intention to compete head-on with the leader in the online music marketplace.
Cloud based music services that store music online and stream it on demand are the next coming for the digital music industry. Google is reportedly planning to release its own version before the end of the year, Apple purchased Lala with a similar intent, and several other services are already available.
Sony's version, Music Unlimited, will include common playlist building features along with Sony's SenseMe technology which can detect personal music preferences and suggest music based on those criteria. Music Unlimited is based on the Qriocity platform, Sony's cloud based streaming delivery platform.
Looking Good: Internet Radio's Next Challenge
Smartphones and other Internet radio devices have increased Internet radio's mobility and moved Internet radio into much closer competition with broadcast radio, according to a briefing of the Station Resource Group. Wireless Internet radio will not completely replace broadcast radio, however it will continue to expand.
Handheld devices are becoming a popular mobile Internet radio listening device, and although easy listening is complicated by the need for specialized applications per station or service and device operating system, that will likely change with updates to browsers and technology. New interest and developments are heating up for connected automotive devices, which will grow listening to Internet radio as well. However the study notes that these in-car listening stations will also offer AM/FM receivers and won't replace broadcast technology in cars.
An important aspect of radio's new delivery systems is the screen that many devices have that can deliver graphical displays and even video. So as not to be considered deficient on these devices, broadcasters must develop alliances and strategies for offering visual content compatible with their audio content.
It's an interesting briefing that acknowledges the increasing impact the Internet radio is having on broadcast radio stations. There's wisdom in the recommendations that radio begin to identify itself as a visual medium and develop visual content solutions that can entice listeners. This video by Slate Magazine gives an overview of some Internet radio stations' visual approaches and also made me think a little more about videos as well…
Apple Buys Streaming Service Lala
Late friday the New York Times reported that Apple had acquired online streaming music service Lala. Lala is a service that allows listeners to either buy and download songs for 79 and 89 cents, or stream the songs an unlimited number of times for 10 cents.
Apple obviously was not interested in the music download portion of Lala's business, since they already have iTunes, the leader in that marketplace. What this acquisition gives them is a streaming platform, for listeners who prefer streaming music on demand rather than downloading and transferring music to personal devices.
Streaming music has become increasing popular with the growth of connected mobile devices. The growing popularity of streaming music from mobile devices has spurred interest in on-demand streaming from a music cloud that can be accessed anywhere from any device and is easier than downloading music and syncing with multiple devices. Some believe that cloud based streaming will eventually replace music downloading.
Apple appears to be at least hedging its bets with Lala – on the one hand, promoting cloud based streaming to replace downloads would hurt iTunes song sales, but give them a place in the on-demand streaming game.
Lala recently announced deals with Facebook and Google Music which promise to grow traffic and awareness of the service. The service had been reported to be in trouble financially. No word on the price that Apple paid on the deal.
NPR Music Streams Debut of Norah Jones Album
NPR's digital platform is diverse and often sets the standard for ways that broadcast stations can expand content online. As evidence of that, this week they debuted the new album by Norah Jones. Debuting this album as part of their "Exclusive First Listen Series", NPR offers a huge value proposition to listeners who can go online and listen to Norah Jones new album The Fall song by song, or in its entirety.
The album, by Grammy award winning Jones, features songs written by Ryan Adams, Jesse Harris and other noteworthy musicians. It will be released on Blue Note Records on November 17th, which means that for two weeks you can hear it exclusively on NPR. Previous albums debuted in this series include Bjork, Moby, Regina Spektor and Leonard Cohen. A pretty diverse bunch for a brand that used to be primarily associated with news or classical music.
I'm listening to Norah's album now and loving it. The start of the album was preceded by a preroll for Bose. Apparently, NPR is not shying away from an ad supported model online…
Why is Everyone Talking About Spotify?
There's enormous buzz about Spotify, the European streaming music platform that promises to launch before the end of the year here in the US. I wish I could say I've tried it, but can't unless I fly over to Europe for the weekend. Spotify is a music service that allows listeners to browse and stream songs on demand from a library of 3.5 million songs. Listeners can also build playlists, and their interface is supposed to be very intuitive and fun to use.
According to CEO Daniel Ek, Spotify aims "to provide the world's biggest catalogue of music that's quick, simple and fun to use." He says they'll compete with Napster and Rhapsody here in the US (among others) but that only Spotify offers both an ad supported and subscription ways to enjoy the music.
Two main things about Spotify make it a good bet for success. On demand song streaming is appealing to music fans. Recent research has shown that as on demand streaming of songs increases, illegal song downloading goes down. Music fans are content to legally listen and share their music via an on demand streaming service rather than illegally download the music. Research also shows that fans would consider using an ad supported platform to get their music for free. Spotify's platform gives music fans the chance to hear what they want when they want it, without paying for it. Legally.
They've reportedly raised millions of dollars (pounds) in VC money, and have tied the record labels in with equity deals as well, like Imeem and MySpace Music.
Everything I've read mentions their nifty platform, which requires a download onto your computer. They do not yet have an iPhone app, and they have a Google Android app that has not been released.
Already valued at $242 million, Spotify will be under enormous pressure to generate both advertising revenues and premium subscriptions to appease both their VC investors as well as pay royalties to the labels. In an article in Techcrunch over the weekend, guest author Michael Robertson is skeptical that they can make it given current royalty rates.
I have to admit I'm curious – both to see the service and to see how well they can monetize it. It will be an interesting test of both the ad supported and premium subscription marketplaces. May they thrive…

I wanted to make a dish, which tasted similar to Dijon chicken recipe, where Dijon mustard is paired with sour cream to make delicious and creamy sauce. For dairy free option of this recipe I did not want to use coconut cream or milk, they usually go nicely with Asian style sauces. To compensate for sour cream, both in taste and texture, I decided to go with diced turkey dark meat, as the most flavoursome poultry meat, and thinly sliced eggplant, as one of the vegetable ingredients. When thinly sliced, eggplant completely disintegrates during cooking and provides natural thickening of casserole, contributing to a creamy texture of the sauce. I like to use plenty of vegetables in my ragout and casserole dishes. It gives an easy option to use water instead of chicken or vegetable stock. Poultry meat juices, together with variety of vegetables and some herbs and spices, always make a dish with deep flavour. Your personal selection of vegetables and spices will influence the taste of the dish.
Sauce quantity is determined by how much liquid you want for the serving of the dish. We like our casserole or ragout to have plenty of delicious sauce, and I usually serve the dish in soup plates or bowls. Having plenty of liquid is also handy if you have leftovers and have to reheat them.
- 500g diced turkey (I used dark meat)
- 3 carrots
- 1 leek (you can use onion to replace leek)
- 1 capsicum
- 1 eggplant
- 1/2 cauliflower
- pinch of fennel seeds
- 3 sticks of thyme
- 1-2 table spoons of olive oil
- 1 heaped table spoon of homemade mustard (use any Dijon mustard you can tolerate)
- salt and coarse black pepper to taste
- pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
- heat olive oil in a deep casserole pan, add fennel seeds
- add and saute leek, sliced in semi-circles, until it just softens
- add sliced carrots, season with salt and pepper
- stir and cook them for 5 min
- add turkey meat, mustard, thyme, chilly flakes (if using)
- add capsicum, cut in strips
- add peeled and sliced eggplant (first cut eggplant in halves or quarters, depending on the size of an eggplant, and then slice on mandoline slicer thinly)
- cover contents of the pan with boiling water
- add water to fully cover all ingredients in the pan
- water content will reduce during cooking time
- cook for 30-40 minutes on medium heat
- add cauliflower, cut in small florets
- cook for another 20-30 minutes
- rest the dish, covered with lid for 15-20 minutes before serving
- the dish can be stored refrigerated for 4-5 days or frozen for a longer storage

How to Finance Your Business with Bad CreditLooking for business loans for your startup but have bad credit? From microlending to small-business lines of credit, these are your best options to stay in the black.
Starting a small business is like starting a relationship.
In the beginning, you're all alone with nothing but big dreams, great ideas, and a business plan. Then you play the field a bit, testing the waters of your business's market with potential customers. Some like what you're offering. Others just aren't that into you (or your credit history).
Eventually, you think you've found it: you, your business, and your customers make the perfect fit. But then stuff gets in the way. Marketing is expensive. Weak cash flow leads to headaches. And cheap credit is hard to come by.
You might worry that bad personal or business credit will derail your efforts at financing your business for the long term. But don't worry, you have options—from microfinancing to small-business loans from alternative lenders. Follow these steps to save time and access funds.
1. Ask your friends and family
Consider the folks around you as your initial lifelines. Sure, not every business owner has the luxury of going to friends, family, or neighbors for help starting a small business. But it's still a common—and potentially interest-free—option.
Your close contacts may be more than happy to contribute—and they may look past your shaky credit situation. Of course, you'll need to think carefully about the consequences and potential risks of mixing business with friends and family. But as long as you stay transparent and present a solid plan for repayment or compensation, it can't hurt to ask for help.
2. Check out microfinancing
Obviously, not all business owners have access to friends and family members eager to open their wallets to help get their businesses on their feet. So what's your next course of action?
Initially used as a way to get money to people in lower-income countries, microfinancing, also called microlending or microcredit, has leaped to center stage in the world of startup financing. Microlending platforms like Accion aggregate small amounts of credit lent by individuals and issue the funds as small-business loans.
If you have no credit or poor credit, these options should encourage you. Most microfinancing lenders don't have strict limits on borrower credit scores.
And compared to some types of credit—like unsecured business loans and personal credit cards—microfinancing comes with inexpensive interest rates. What's more, as you pay back your microloan, you'll improve your credit score.
Before going with microlending, you need to weigh the pros and cons. You'll likely pay higher interest rates for microcredit than for traditional, secured small-business loans and credit.
And because of the aggregated nature of the platforms, you may not have access to high dollar amounts of credit at any one time
3. Apply for special business lines of credit
If you're unsure about microfinancing or need lots of cash in a hurry, banks offer unique credit options just for small-business owners.
Dozens of methods exist, but check out these common small-business financing options that don't always require stellar credit scores for approval.
- Cash flow loans: Banks and credit unions may be willing to look past credit problems and lend to your business if you use your expected future revenues as collateral. If you can prove a healthy cash flow, these loans are inexpensive and straightforward. With a similar option called a merchant cash advance (MCA), a bank lends you up-front cash in exchange for a portion of your future sales from debit and credit card payments.
- Small-business lines of credit (LOCs): If your business generates substantial revenue and you need immediate capital for your business, consider short-term loans, like small-business LOCs, from online lenders like Lendio. You can expect faster approval processes and fewer credit restrictions than with traditional lenders.
- Small-business working capital loans: A working capital loan could give you the boost in your finances to help pay for immediate expenses like building leases or payroll. One lender choice, Kabbage, offers working capital loans up to $250,000. You'll have to use your business assets as collateral, but working capital loans serve as a lifeline in emergencies or seasonal lulls.
4. Consider crowdfunding websites
A popular choice for technology startups and creative arts projects, crowdfunding is worth looking into for many small businesses.
Crowdfunding is best for new businesses in particular. It connects entrepreneurs with big potential to significant pools of investors and contributors. Most crowdfunding campaigns fall under one of two types:
- Reward: With reward-based crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, you set up a campaign with a funding goal. You also offer your funders a reward, like a promotional item or product preorder. Most sites use all-or-nothing funding models, which means you'll only get the money you raise if you meet your campaign goal, but some let you keep whatever you raise—or a portion of the funds.
- Equity: Equity crowdfunding, or crowd investing, uses the crowdfunding model to connect you with potential investors who contribute funds in exchange for a stake in your business. The selection process for equity-based crowdfunding is often strict and rigorous, but the potential financial windfalls can be enormous.
Think crowdfunding might be a good idea for your business? Well, we wrote an entire post about the best crowdfunding sites to get you started.
Browse hundreds of loan options, custom-tailored to your business and budget needs, from a single, simple platform.
5. As a last resort, use credit cards or personal loans
What if none of the options above work for you or you need other sources of business funding? Although it's a method that carries higher financial risks, you can use self-financing as a quick way to inject some cash into your business.
Credit cards, personal loans, and lines of credit are expensive ways to finance your business—especially if you have poor credit and high APRs—so be careful and pay off the debt as soon as possible.
The takeaway: Don't worry, you have options
Bad credit? Don't sweat it. Although a less-than-perfect credit score can limit your options for business financing, you have plenty of ways to stay afloat.
Some methods—like personal credit cards—are riskier and more expensive than others. But with technology-enabled options like microlending and crowdfunding on the table, you shouldn't worry too much about keeping your business running smoothly and paying its bills.

How would you like to step outside your door and get fresh eggs for your breakfast every morning? You can, if you're raising chickens in your own backyard.
Garden master Jim Duthie gives us a glimpse of what's involved. And while it can be fun and egg-citing, it does take some preparation and commitment.
It's Saturday morning with the di Donato family, and time for the girls to get a little exercise. But in this case, the girls are chickens.
"So Blue is the little Easter Egger that's white and brown," said Mike di Donato.
"Charlie, which is the other Easter Egger, which is the brown one – she looks almost like a hawk."
Blue and Charlie are two laying hens known as Easter Eggers, so called because their breed lays eggs that often have different colored shells.
"And then you've got Delta, which is the Buff Orpington, the little blond one – she's our little blondie girl."
"And then you've got echo and she's the Plymouth Rock. She's the black and white one."
"So they're all named after the Jurassic World movie. We thought it would be funny to name them after the velociraptors in that movie. So we've got…. Blue, Charlie, Delta and Echo."
The di Donatos don't live on a farm. Instead, this is their backyard, right in the middle of a Boise neighborhood.
A lot of people are growing their own food in their backyards, from vegetables to fruit. And now a growing number of people are raising backyard chickens. The benefits include fresh eggs and fertilizer.
"Talked to my wife and I go - what do you think about raising backyard chickens? And she said – yes, do it. Since we're kind of like animal lovers," said Mike.
"We're also very interested in knowing like where our eggs are coming from. I mean, just kind of that whole movement just knowing where your food's actually coming from. And of course every morning you can go out there and have farm-fresh eggs and be able to pick them up and also know they're coming from happy chickens."
Raising backyard chickens takes some planning and commitment, including learning about local city regulations and ordinances.
"We went to a few classes. My wife read quite a few books just to know what we were exactly getting into," said Mike.
"If you live in the city of Boise, the ordinance is up to six hens, no roosters. And there are a few other details in there where you need to make sure you're okay when it comes to space and where your chickens can be."
Finally, a few of months ago, they picked up their baby chicks, called pullets. The chicks were only two days old.
"When you first get into it, you have to get a brooder, and that ranges from $40 to $60 or so for the brooder," said Mike. "You'll get a light and your bedding and your food and your trays and everything else. So you can kind of take care of your hatchlings."
Mike built the outdoor coop himself, although you can buy pre-built coops at farm supply stores. The chicks are now about three months old, so it will be a few more months before they start laying eggs.
"It takes about five to six months for them to lay their first eggs," said Mike. "It'll happen after their first molt. We're hoping right around September we'll hopefully be getting eggs."
While the newcomers have made themselves at home in the backyard, it took a little getting used to for the family dogs, who have to put up with an occasional game of….chicken.
"It's mostly the chickens that go after our little Chihuahua mix," said Mike.
Eggs are the primary reason for having backyard chickens, but they also produce another benefit. Chicken manure added to the compost pile makes a great organic fertilizer for the garden.
"A lot of people think that chickens smell. If you maintain it, you can't smell a thing. They're pretty clean, actually," said Mike.
And in a few months, the di Donatos expect to have some fresh eggs for breakfast, and they'll know where they came from.
"And I know what I've been feeding my chickens and what they've been eating and also that they've been loved and cared for, so hopefully that also gives me healthy delicious eggs."
Oh, and what happens if the chickens don't end up laying any eggs? Will they become Sunday dinner?
"They will not become dinner," said Mike. "My wife and I are animal lovers and they'd become kind of pets. They all have their own personalities and love them just like our dogs or any other animals we have. So they'll probably end up retiring here and living out the rest of their lives. Even if they're not laying eggs they'll still be our little chicken pets."
Most Treasure Valley communities allow for backyard chickens, but be sure to check the local regulations where you live, including homeowners association rules.
If you're interested in getting a backyard brood started, here are a couple of helpful links:

Here's real steps that your business can take to move up higher in Maps results.
Everyone knows that being on the first page of Google is a difficult thing to accomplish if you are trying to rank your business for any search term that actually gets any competition. There are generally only 10 organic spots on the first page and since Google changed their algorithm in 2016, the Maps listings went from seven spots to only three spots, and sometimes even only two spots. Therefore, to actually show up in the Maps listings is extremely important if your business wants to actually get that phone ringing. Maps listings are located on the first page of Google for search terms right below the Google Ads. Some search terms do not have Maps listings.
But how do businesses actually get to that first spot or any of those spots in the Maps listings that are actually showing up? This article will explain real steps that your business can take to move up higher in Maps, and possibly even become one of the businesses that show up in the Maps results.
Step One - Your Business Should Make Sure Its Current Directory Listings Are Accurate
There is a term in the internet marketing industry called "NAP." This term is not about having a snooze, but is associated with your business's "name," "address" and "phone number." In the simplest terms, in order to not confuse Google, your business's name, address, and phone number should be consistent throughout the entire internet world. NAP consistency is one of the single most important things that your business can have to ensure a higher ranking in the Maps listings.
Businesses can check their NAP for free. Moz provides a free tool for this purpose. Simply go to Moz.com, click on the menu at the top that says, "Moz Local" and then click on "check my business listing." Then put in your business's name and zip code, and click "check my listing." When the list of businesses pops up make sure you click the result at the bottom that says "show more results" to see all of the listings your business is listed for. There should only be one.
If there is more than one, you have inconsistencies with something about your business. Perhaps you have an old phone number listed somewhere or you moved locations and have an old address popping up. By then clicking on the incorrect listings you will be able to claim those listings and fix the incorrect information with your correct information. Once you have all of your listing information correct you may notice that your position in Maps has gone up. Try checking where your business is located in maps for a search term before doing this and then check it after. You might be surprised at the results.
Step Two - You Should Ensure Your Business Is Listed in All of the Aggregators
What is an aggregator you ask? An aggregator is a directory listing site that adds your business website to its listings. These are sites like Yelp, YP, Superpages, etc. There are approximately 15 aggregators that your business can sign up to. Your business should make sure it's signed up to all of them and that your listings all contain the exact same information regarding the business name, address and phone number.
Using Moz.com, the same tool you used in step one, you can find the aggregators simply by clicking on the correct listing. This will pull up all of the aggregators and show you which ones that you are not signed up for. Sign up to all of them and then check six to eight weeks later. You may be surprised again that your Maps listing has gone up for a specific search term. It takes some of the aggregators six to eight weeks to add your business which is why that is the suggested time to wait.
Step Three - Your Business Can and Should Sign Up to Other Directory Listings That Are Not Aggregators
Although there are many things that are important to get your business to show up higher in Maps, one thing that is definitely important is to make sure that you are signed up to other directory listings in addition to the aggregators. It's even better if those directory listings are relevant to your business. For example, if you are a real estate agent then perhaps you can find real estate directories to sign up for. Signing your business up to a lot of directory listings can definitely increase your Maps listings results.
Try signing your business up to an additional thirty listings and my bet is that you will see an increase in your listings results. Be advised that some listings will charge your business to sign up to their directory listing. If you want to move your business up in the Maps search results then your business should make the investment and pay the money. It can help.
Step Four - Your Business Should Make Sure Your Google My Business Page Is Optimized
Your business must have a Google My Business page to even be able to show up on a Maps listing. Signing up is easy. Simply go to Google.com/Business and sign your business up to Google My Business. You will need a Gmail account with which to sign up to Google My Business. Once you sign up, you will need to "verify" your business before they publish your page. Generally, verification is done by Google sending your business a postcard with a code on it in about a week, and then you log back in and put in the code. Once your code is put in your business is now verified.
Once your business is verified, you need to optimize the page. To optimize the page, put in your business hours, your business category or categories, and add all of the pictures that Google asks you to add on the page. Even leaving out one picture will leave your Google My Business page not fully optimized. If you are able to fill out all the information that Google asks you to fill out, and add all of the pictures, your page will be considered 100 percent complete, which may increase your business's listing in Maps. Try it out and see what happens.
Maps results can be extremely important for a business to have. If you are not in the top three, chances are that your business is losing out on a lot of money because people are not finding your business very easily. Being in the top spot on Maps generally gets 35 percent of the traffic for any particular search term. Therefore, if a search gets 300 searches a month, 105 people will click on the top listing. Out of that, the business owner may get approximately 10 percent of the traffic as customers.
So, if 10 percent of 105 people hire a business and each customer is worth $1,500, that's $15,750 per month in revenue that a business owner is receiving if they are in the top Maps result for that spot. The tips set forth in this article will be enough for many business owners to get into the top three search results in Maps. There are other things that can be done and advanced techniques as well. But using just these tips will place some business owners in the top three spots of the Maps listings for some searches.

You may wonder, are dresses over pants socially acceptable? With this trend, it's either go big or go home. The paradoxical trend is definitely controversial.
Pants underneath dresses are an easy option if you want to make your own clothes feel fresh, but they have to be styled right. Everyone has old jeans and dresses in the closet, right? Here are a few ways to put them together!
A lot of new designers have actually been bringing this look back including Steven Alan, Kym Ellery, Raf Simons from Christian Dior. Dresses that show off pants from behind especially.
You may or may not have heard of a Tibi dress. It's like a slip dress, but it looks great over a pair of jeans and a leather jacket. You can pair the outfit with some shorter heels too.
The look can be pulled of and actually look super cool if you know how to style it properly. The slip dresses that look the best are the ones that hit your mid shin, and ripped jeans definitely look the best with this look.
And when it comes to shoes with this look, always opt for pumps. You can wear this trend at places like the supermarket, running errands, also fashion week!

Germany's extremist breakthrough: How to understand the victory of AfD
Several years ago, who could have ever imagined today's scenario, and in Germany of all places? A new political party espousing a populist discourse with an extreme right-wing agenda sweeps into prominence, winning 94 seats in the Bundestag, the federal parliament.
The most important achievement by the so-called Alternative for Germany (AfD) is not limited to the fact that it is now the third force in the Bundestag. Rather, it is the success in shaping the German political scene in the image of its discourse, and qualifying the extreme right-wing to join the political mainstream.
In recent years, the extreme right-wing scene witnessed an important development. It was able to craftily reinvent itself, with new faces, and a different discourse
Over many decades, the federal republic had exercised a tolerant position towards the traditional extreme right-wing parties. The rationale being that allowing them to operate openly was safer than driving them underground.
Parties like the German Nationalist Party (NPD), and the Republicans (Die Republikaner) failed to prosper beyond the political fringe. They had to content themselves with a few seats in local parliaments in some states. These parties were ostracised by society, and kept under surveillance by the security services.
A different discourse
However, in recent years, the extreme right-wing scene witnessed an important development. It was able to craftily reinvent itself, with new faces, and a different discourse. Publicly, skinheads were no longer in evidence or occupying prime place. Moreover, traditional ultra-nationalist slogans were discarded. These were replaced by other no less extremist slogans, but ones that were cleverly crafted to exclusively target Muslims. The most prominent expressions of this transformation was the establishment of a populist movement, as well as a new political party.
The PEGIDA movement focused on indoctrinating German society with hate speech and inciting hostility towards Muslims. Since it was established in 2014, the movement has extended to other European countries. It is worth noting that PEGIDA's stronghold, Dresden, has no significant Muslim in population. Indeed, its key strongholds are situated in areas inhabited by very few Muslims compared to their general demographic distribution in Germany.
The indicators relating to this triumph of the extreme right represented by this party are hugely significant - especially if one looks to the states in the former communist East that joined the federal republic following the reunification of Germany. These states, where the party competed for the first place, are notable for the limited presence of Muslims compared to the western states.
Moreover, they are plagued by chronic socio-economic woes that are more prominent than elsewhere. This new extreme right-wing discourse, with a populist voice, exploited voter disaffection with the traditional parties, and the public's discontent over economic and social imbalances. It continued to scapegoat Muslims as the cause of all these ills. The AfD took advantage of the developments in recent years, especially following the influx of refugees and the terrorist attacks carried out by Daesh.
The party proceeded to stoke fear, even naming Chancellor Angela Merkel as responsible for the bloody truck attack in Berlin in late 2016. The reasoning was that she had allowed refugees into the country.
Significant changes
This party, and other extreme right-wing forces, continues to exploit the general public's fears and alarm triggered by unprecedented changes occurring in Europe and the world.
Globalisation and the crises it triggered in the economic domain, as well as the movement of people across continents, refugee and migrant flows, adds to the feeling of cultural foreignness and loss in human societies that are becoming ever more diverse. All these significant changes have caused anxiety, provoking greater feelings of insecurity for the future.
It is clear to everyone that pandering to extremism is a profitable venture, and that populist positions are a guaranteed recipe for success
The generous result handed to the AfD was the fruit of years of agitation and incitement. The German man on the street had become desensitised through large-scale advertising in parks, streets, the media, and social media networks filled with denigration of Muslims. It was quite clear that the political actors from the various parties had been hugely negligent in confronting this extremist propaganda in its new form, irrespective of criticism by individuals reported here and there.
The political parties were busy trying to win over a public that was increasingly sympathetic to extremism. Indeed, these parties themselves committed to a certain level of rhetoric that was generally unfriendly towards Muslims. This was a case of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the Bavarian version of Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU).
In this way, the impact of the success of the extreme right-wing in the elections is much more pervasive. It is visible in the trend within the political scene leaning ever more towards the extreme right.
It is clear to everyone that pandering to extremism is a profitable venture, and that populist positions are a seemingly guaranteed recipe for success. These play to the public's alarm and fear, by presenting shallow slogans, divested of the values and principles enshrined in the Constitution.
Today, Germany, like other European countries, confronts a wave of political extremism espousing new slogans that are more insidious than those of the past.
Some traditional parties may opportunistically pursue the same slogans, seeking to improve their chances of electoral success. As such, they further embed the populist status quo, and normalise extremist discourse within the political space.
The challenge facing German political actors and civil society in the aftermath of these elections is how to isolate racist speech, and combat the populist fever that has invaded the scene, during and prior to the electoral campaign.
This now entrenched hate and divisiveness in society paints a horizon drawn from Germany's tragic past, and eclipses a progressive vision for a bright and inclusive future.
