How Long Does It Take to Get an SBA Loan? |
The weathermen predict heavy rain for the weekend as well, which means many Mumbaiites are likely to be stuck at home for two more days. |
The IMD forecast and a likely high tide of 4.33m around 3.10pm on Saturday has prompted civic chief Ajoy Mehta to ask citizens to remain indoors. |
The state is not willing to take a chance either, with education minister Vinod Tawde allowing schools to declare Saturday a holiday in case of heavy rain. |
Suburban train services on CR and WR are likely to remain disrupted for a second consecutive day, even if the rainfall isn’t heavy. This is because there are several long distance trains stuck at various places. Railway officials said these trains will have to be given preference. |
“You as believers, as ministers, as leaders, need to do the work of an evangelist right now more than ever before. The primary work of Transforming Norwich needs to be that of an evangelist – we need to start to go and to make. I want to see this city sharing the Good News of the Gospel,” said Danny, referencing the ch... |
Danny reported on a successful year for Transforming Norwich which included a number of Ministers Together lunches with local and national speakers, a Global Day of Prayer service held at Norwich Cathedral alongside regular prayer events and calendar, which has been set up. |
Transforming Norwich continues to support Celebrate Norfolk and the Network Norfolk website. It also supported and facilitated a Cinnamon Faith Audit of Christian social action across Norwich and Norfolk. |
In June, Alistair and Marie Petrie from Partnership Ministries led a week of events to encourage and equip the church and to confirm to us that Norwich was on God’s agenda as an important place. |
Standing for re-election to the Transforming Norwich committee were Danny Doran-Smith and Toby Skipper and new nominations were Madeline Light and Lucie Fox. All were unanimously elected. |
Standing down is Biddy Collyer, whose dedicated service as secretary and treasurer over a number of years was acknowledged by Danny. All other members of the committee were happy to continue. |
Before the AGM, Soul Church pastor Jon Norman addressed a gathering of Norwich and Norfolk Christian leaders, saying we need to catch a fresh vision for our city and our lives and to look forward not backwards. |
“We live in a lost city and we need to be passionate about people finding Jesus here and we have a responsibility for it,” said Jon. |
Jon urged leaders to catch a fresh vision for the city, for their own churches, for “the church” in the city, for the next generation and for their own lives. |

THE transfer window may only have closed on Monday, but the Premier League's big boys have wasted little time swinging back into action. |
ENGLAND CALLING: Could Allegri and Sanches be in the Premier League next season? |
Manchester United failed to draft in any new faces last month, but according to reports from Portugal they've already agreed a deal for the summer. |
O Jogo claims super agent Jorge Mendes have told them Benfica youngster Renato Sanches is heading to Old Trafford. |
The two European giants have reportedly agreed a deal worth up to £45m for the talented youngster. |
Mendes reportedly said Sanches will move for an initial £30m with £15m potentially following in add-ons. |
Sanches could be joined in the Premier League next season by Massimiliano Allegri. |
The Juventus manager has agreed to become Chelsea's next boss, reports from Italy claim. |
Calciomercato.com report the ex-AC Milan chief has been offered a four-year contract worth £5.7m-a-season. |
They claim a deal has been agreed with the Blues, but insist it will be kept quiet until the end of the campaign. |
After several months of stripping, gutting and remodeling, the Inn at Laguna Beach, 211 N. Coast Hwy., is taking the tape off its multimillion-dollar renovations Friday. |
The upgrades started Feb. 28, and are complete except for the pool, which will reopen later in June, said General Manager Peggy Trott. The only areas not being renovated are the hallways and one ballroom. The last renovation was in 2001. |
The hotel's owner, Classic Hotels & Resorts, along with L.A. interior designer John Cottrell of John Cottrell Co. in Los Angeles, collaborated on the design, which reflects an island, beachy vibe right down to the photos hanging on the wall. |
"All of the photos in the hotel are of Laguna Beach, both old and new [images of the city]," Trott said. |
All work was done with the environment in mind. By far the coolest is the birch wood key cards, which are 100% sustainable, Trott said. |
All 70 rooms were gutted, painted with low-VOC paint, furnished with renewable bamboo furniture, and feature low-flow faucets and showers, special tile that is 30% from recycled stone, compact fluorescent light bulbs, and rattan-style beds. |
The hotel is even offering reusable water bottles for $7 instead of plastic ones, and free water to fill them. |
In addition, it redid the landscaping, freshened up the patio furniture and added fire pits. |
Trott, who joined the hotel in July, has been through hotel renovations before. |
All in all, the Inn at Laguna Beach's remodel was one of the easier ones, she said. |
The hotel will host a invitation-only party to debut its new look June 27. |

Thousands of pensioners have been unable to withdraw their social grant money using the new South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) cards. |
Sassa had hoped to resolve the glitches by Monday, but the problem is expected to continue over the next few days. |
The South African Post Office (Sapo), which has taken over payments from Net1’s Cashmaster Payment Services (CPS), has accused Net1 of interfering with the card swaps. |
Sassa national spokesperson, Kgomoco Diseko spoke to Business Day TV about the issue and how it might be resolved. |
MORE and more Americans who might once have spent months or years in hospitals or nursing homes are today being cared for at home. Usually, they are under the loving supervision of a friend or relative, supported by a fast-growing network of health-care professionals who make house calls. |
Experts who study the interaction between body and mind say that home health care fosters a greater sense of wellness and provides the opportunity to remain as independent as possible and involved with life. In general, patients heal faster, feel better and may even live longer when cared for in a home setting. |
As more Americans do live longer, and as the number of frail and sick elderly Americans continues to grow, the need for this kind of alternative to long-term institutional care becomes more pressing. For some patients who cannot afford or find placement in top-quality nursing homes, supervised care at home is the only ... |
For society, too, it is becoming an attractive alternative to more expensive forms of long-term care, particularly with the new time limitations for hospital treatment imposed by Medicare. |
Home health care is not new; until recent decades, most patients, even those who were terminally ill, were cared for primarily at home. But the circumstances under which home care is now being implemented are vastly different from the past. Today, for example, it is rare for several generations of one family to share t... |
In ''Home Health Care: A Complete Guide for Patients and Their Families,'' to be published next month by W. W. Norton and priced at $22.50, Jo-Ann Friedman says that not everyone is cut out to be a giver or a recipient of home care. |
In ''The Home Hospital'' (Basic Books, 1982), Lois Barclay Murphy notes that guilt or a sense of obligation is not an appropriate reason to assume the task of care-giver. |
Dr. Murphy also advises that the personality of the patient be considered when deciding to become a care-giver. People who were crotchety, demanding and irascible when healthy should not be expected to have an improved disposition when sick. |
* They should learn as much as possible about the illness in question. |
* They should analyze the emotional, physical and medical needs of the patient and how these might change in the future. |
* They should assess how the patient is likely to deal with the situation. |
* Their role should be envisioned as one that fosters maximum independence in the patient, involving the patient as much as possible in health-care decisions. |
* Family, friends and health-care professionals can be recruited to help meet the needs of the patient. |
* They should remember to take care of themselves, allowing time and space to remain physically and emotionally healthy. As pointed out recently in Patient Care magazine, ''respite care'' for the care-giver, such as relief time provided by bringing in a community volunteer or by sending the patient to an adult day-care... |
Today, there exists a vast network of health-care professionals who treat patients at home and home health aides who assist people unable to fully care for themselves. Thus, the primary job of the care-giver may be one of coordinating and overseeing the services of others. |
Plugging into this network of assistants, Miss Friedman aptly notes, requires ''patience and persistence.'' If the patient has been hospitalized, the hospital's social-services department should be able to facilitate the transition from hospital to home, providing sources and, usually, appointments with needed professi... |
Typically, the first step - best taken before the patient leaves the hospital - is a home visit by an occupational therapist. This person can provide invaluable guidance about how best to arrange living quarters and adapt the patient's surroundings to the limitations imposed by the illness. |
Simple measures, such as securing scatter rugs, installing safety rails in the bathroom and providing a high seat at the sink, can help many patients function safely and independently. The occupational therapist can also spare care-givers unnecessary expense - by recommending, for example, a way to adapt a regular bed ... |
One of the most valuable parts of Miss Friedman's book is a long list of ''tips for daily living'' to enable people with varying disabilities to function as independently as possible. Installing a suction-mounted denture brush and a wall-mounted hair dryer, for instance, could help someone who has the use of only one h... |
Depending on the nature of the disability, the other participants in home health care are likely to include physical therapists, nurses, home health aides, who can help with tasks of personal care, and social workers, who can help keep tensions at home to a minimum. |
For patients who were not hospitalized, making the contacts to set home care in motion is more challenging. Now throughout the country there are a wide variety of home health-care agencies, but their quality varies, and even physicians may be hard pressed to assess their services, let alone locate them for patients and... |
The National HomeCaring Council Inc., 235 Park Avenue South, New York, N.Y. 10003, will provide, upon written request, a list of accredited agencies in your area. You might also call local community-service organizations, the visiting nurse association, family service agencies and relevant organizations such as the loc... |
Before going even this far, however, it might be wise to check on the patient's insurance coverage. Even though home health care is generally less expensive than hospital or nursing-home care, insurance coverage for health services rendered outside those institutions is very uneven. |
Medicare and Medicaid provide limited coverage; private insurance policies rarely do much better. In some instances, Blue Cross-Blue Shield will reimburse expenses for home health care (in Rhode Island, the system is said to be working extremely well). Most policyholders, however, have only limited coverage. |
As Miss Friedman says, ''When investigating home health insurance, don't assume the policy provides a certain type of coverage.'' After reading the policy and making as much sense of it as you can, she recommends calling the insurance company and getting direct answers to your questions. Insurance coverage often hinges... |
The insurance picture is bound to change as companies realize the financial benefits of noninstitutional health care, and as patients and their families start insisting upon this option as a more humane treatment. |
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Alabama A&M guard Whiquitta Tobar was named the Southwestern Athletic Conference Player of the Year, league officials announced today. |
Tobar, a 5-foot-7 senior from Blytheville, Ark., had a spectacular year. She finished in the top 10 in seven statistical categories in leading the Lady Bulldogs to the third seed in this week's conference tournament in Garland, Texas. |
She led the league in scoring (19.8) for the second year in a row and in free throw percentage (81.4). Tobar was third in minutes (33.9), sixth in assists (2.8), seventh in rebounding (6.1), ninth in steals (1.8), 10th in field goal percentage (39.6) and 15th in blocks (0.5). |
A&M (17-11) takes on Grambling (14-14) Thursday at 10 a.m. in the tournament. |
Who runs the world? It might soon be women as a crop of female economists join IMF chief Christine Lagarde in top positions at major financial bodies. |
As the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meet this week in Bali, Lagarde no longer cuts quite the same lone figure she once did, now flanked by growing numbers of female finance ministers and economists. |
Gopinath, 46, a well-respected economics professor at Harvard University and co-editor of the prestigious American Economic Review, is likely to bring a fresh perspective to the institution, and potentially challenge longstanding positions. |
Lagarde acknowledged the gap between the Fund's traditional stance and Gopinath's work, saying the Indian-American's "stellar" reputation was built around "the role of the US dollar in international transactions, and the rigidity that it implies". |
"I am sure that we will be exploring further and deeper those particular (avenues)," Lagarde added. |
"There are not many candidates that I can see at the moment that are prepared to be the currency operators, with the responsibility that comes with it." |
And in June, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) appointed Laurence Boone, a former advisor to French president Francois Hollande, to its chief economist post. |
In Bali, the trend is on display, with female finance ministers, central bankers and economists among the speakers and in the audience at sessions. |
"Finance minister has always been seen as man's job," she told a seminar about empowering women in the workplace on the sidelines of the meeting on the Indonesian holiday island. |
"Battling this perception that this is a male job and for a woman you have to be an extra, extraordinary to do this male job... That creates a real huge burden." |
At the same panel, Lagarde also urged greater visibility for women across the professional world, and referred to the way US Open champion Naomi Osaka helped raise the profile of women's tennis in Japan with her recent win over Serena Williams. |
"Suddenly (women's) tennis became a really powerful sport," the IMF chief said. |
"We need to encourage and celebrate women who win." |
"Woman are more likely to choose a major if they know another woman who did the same course," she told the seminar. |
