Salary Advance |
Some situations demand the need for that extra cash. The hammer of Emergencies can strike us anytime, and can cause a financial imbalance. |
The very situations can put us in an embarrassing spot where in we have to resort to sources for borrowing personal loans. |
One such source is our work place. Salary advance is the solution that we think of falling back onto. However getting an advance from our employer is not often an easy task. |
There are various factors that impede our decision to ask for money from employer. We will list down some below |
1. Work Environment: The work culture, and organisational policies are influential in determining the granting of salary advance. Some organisations post their salary day guidelines on their website. Some do not. In such cases seeking permission from the HR head or your boss may seem like an unachievable task. Explaini... |
These situations might push your bosses to look deep into your private finance management, which is not a great thing. |
2. Paperwork: Layers of paperwork deter our will to ask for a salary advance. We dread taking a loan, because we do not want to surmounted by innumerable documents. |
While some smaller organisations might agree for a loan with a handshake, others might ask you to deep dive into piles of documentation. |
The documented agreement could talk about a repayment date. This could be your next salary date or a pre-decided period within which you need to repay the loan. |
The paperwork could also include a clause that permits your employer to debit the repayment amount from your future paycheck. Some employers may even charge a few bucks to cover the paperwork. |
3. Official agreements are binding: Borrowing from your employer is very different from borrowing from family or friends. You cannot have the attitude of “ I will pay whenever I can”. There is a fixed date, and failure to repay might be consequential in a bad way. |
4. Your image perception by others: – Before you borrow, you are also enveloped by thoughts like “ What If I am unable to repay? What will my colleagues think of me” “Am I putting my reputation at stake by borrowing ?” “Will I strain my relationship with my boss?”All of these thoughts pester you even if you are borrowi... |
5. Acceptability : The higher you go up the corporate ladder, the probability of you getting a loan will be lower. Instead of going through the hassle of asking for a loan from your employer, use EarlySalary. EarlySalary is a one stop solution to all your cash worries. You do not have to think twice before asking us fo... |
EarlySalary offers personal loans at a very low rate in the quickest possible way. |
EarlySalary is a win-win solution for both the employees and the employers. The employers too would not have to bear any financial constraint. They would escape the paperwork involved. |
EarlySalary renders a happy employee and employer situation. |

Fandom Classics Part 65: A Dream of Dawn |
To read the story, click the image or follow this link |
I'm part of a CSA with a local farm this year; if you're unfamiliar with the premise, you basically pay a lump sum to a local farmer at the start of the year, and then every week you get a box full of whatever they're growing that's harvest-ready that day. It's been fun and has rather drastically increased the amount ... |
Click below the break to read my review of Starsong's A Dream of Dawn. |
Impressions before reading: An AU tag always frightens me a bit, but the premise certainly has potential: Nightmare Moon beats the Elements, but is then defeated by Discord shortly thereafter. I'm going to guess going in that how well Discord is characterized is going to be what makes or breaks this fic; if he's blan... |
Zero-ish spoiler summary: In an Equestria where Nightmare Moon defeated Twilight and her friends, and where Celestia never reappeared, the massive amounts of disharmony free Discord early, and after defeating the Nightmare he discovers that he's Equestria's savior. But Celestia's still missing, and together he and Tw... |
Thoughts after reading: I'll start by saying that I think this is a great example of what an AU story should be: make one significant change to canon (in-show or just implied), then extrapolate and explore the ramifications. So, idea-wise, I have no problem with the setup. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of other ... |
The writing is a letdown on multiple fronts. Misused or (unintentionally) irregular words are not uncommon, and the best way to describe the narration is "dutifully telly," stolidly informing the reader of the focus character's thoughts time and again, sometimes in almost excruciating detail. Dialogue, meanwhile, suf... |
Characterization is a little harder to judge in broad strokes, because it varies so much over the course of the fic. Sometimes, this is unambiguously unfortunate (Applejack is the designated doubting Thomas throughout the fic, to the point where her opinion of other characters seems to change more than once simply so ... |
The plot was the saving grace of this story. Although it takes a while for what I would call the "adventure" part of this story to kick in, that wait wasn't unwarranted, and the ponies' quest to find Celestia (and what happens thereafter) are regularly interesting, and show that some thought has been put into how Eque... |
Star rating: |
I don't have any trouble seeing the appeal of this story: it's a clever take on a tired trope--what if Nightmare Moon won? was done to death within a month of the premier, and yet this story manages to feel fresh and original in how it uses and builds on that idea. But the inconsistent characterizations and writing is... |
Recommendation: This is worth reading if you're mostly in a fic for the ideas it sells, and for the way it builds and expands upon its premise. But readers interested a story that has more to offer than that won't find it here. |
Next time: On the Importance of Spelling, by Softly8088 |
1. Couldn't agree with Chris more on this one. I read most of this story some months ago, simply because I found the premise so intriguing. It invoked the same feeling initially as It's A Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door, but as time went on I found myself drudging through the chapters. It's a shame because I ... |
2. Dang, I was hoping this would be a good one. As you say, it's a pretty good premise. And Griffin seemed to like it fine. |
Prediction for "OtIoS": 3/5 for a decent joke crippled by unnecessary innuendo. |
3. While I wasn't predicting a one-star, I think this review hit pretty close to what I was expecting. I do remember having issues with the prose and some of the characterisation. I certainly liked it just fine in spite of its issues, even if less than I was hoping to given its brilliant concept, but I really can't d... |
I've read Softly8088's Pony and Prejudice before, but I don't think I ever read On the Importance of Spelling. I remember having no issues with Prejudice, and I think it came recommended by Seattle's Angels, but I also know that this author got a negative review from John when another fic of his hit the feature box... |
4. I tried reading through this once and stopped just as they were going out to find Celestia. It wasn't so much the characters or the writing that did it in for me, but that I found things to be increasingly dull. |
After the initial hook, which I thought was actually refreshing and exciting, I got the feeling that the author didn't know what else to do and was just meandering around looking for a purpose. I wasn't in the mood to slog through each chapter to get to more interesting parts. Too bad, since it started out so stron... |
5. I remember this fic. It was very good at first but then Celestia had to go and overrreact. Honestly, her actions in this fic are what killed it for me, and I say that as a huge fan of Sun Horse. Other than that, I'd say I agree with your review completely. |
6. Bacon is a spice. Any sensible person knows this. The only downside to CSA schemes is winter: I hope you really like squash. |
This fic has been on my to-be-read list for a long time, but I think I'll remove it now. As I've only added two stories to the list today, that's some sort of progress. |
That Zecora line might have to be enshrined as the worst of all time. |
7. Guess I will be dropping this one from my read-later list. |
8. That bit of Zecora(h?) dialogue nearly made me scream in a hotel lobby. |

So as a reader of this ongoing conversation, you may need some background on the analysis. Here is a taste. |
In 2005, I started developing a simple system to track my office pool bets in a less "manual" way. Over the course of the year, I started adding tidbits and statistics to help me improve my picks. It was pretty straightforward picks against the spread (ATS), and I was using the statistics at, the MASTERS of football st... |
After I while, I decided to stop wading and take the plunge. Using a combination of analysis from Football Outsiders, historical NFL statistics, and historical spread information, I started the overall analysis. The basic premise is very easy: measure teams against a moving average (week to week, the "average" team cha... |
This gets us to the type of bets, how to pick the right bets, and developing a system of "Conviction". The system now ranks in the following ways: |
Spread Conviction |
Win Percentage |
(as in, which number ranked picks win the most) |
Low Risk Conviction |
Conviction and Win Percentage Averager |
"The Juicer" |
(takes into account the lay and whether a bet is worth the money) |
Moneyline Conviction |
Win Percentage |
"The Juicer" |
... and then I have subroutines that aggregate the results and average out the ranks. |
More to come at a later date, but that's a start. |

Summer Slaw + Sunsets |
I recently reunited with friends from study abroad at our classmate's wedding in Texas. We'd never been to Houston before, but boy, we sure did find our fill of Tex-Mex. As I snapped food photos and tried to get the right angles so our gluttony appeared mildly artistic, I got a few comments on my 'food snaps'. Apparent... |
It occurred to me that I'm still taking photos, but haven't given little RFA much love lately. (RFA, how do we feel about that? doesn't exactly have a ring to it... but ima leave it here for now) |
So I thought, what have I been making a ton of lately? Salads!!! Summer salads! While we're a little obsessed with our kale caesars lately (hoping to do a future post on that) I thought I might show a Summer Slaw that we made for our neighbor's move in-grad acceptance-35th bday celebration bbq. It was super simple and ... |
In addition to summer salads, we've been loving chasing the summer sun(sets) and filling days to the brim with biking and exploring the city. It's been beautiful to just go outside and watch the sun create fun shadows on the house and dance through the trees. On summer solstice, we both raced home to eat dinner and pac... |
I imagine we'll be making more summer salads while we can. Our tomatoes and little lettuces are popping up in the garden like crazy now. Hooray for veggies!!! Do I say that enough? |
Summer Asian Slaw |
Makes 1 big bowl of slaw ;) |
1 red bell pepper |
1 yellow bell pepper |
1 orange bell pepper |
1/2 small purple cabbage |
1/2 small cabbage |
1 small onion |
1 Tb salt |
1 Tb sugar |
rice wine vinegar |
sesame oil |
sesame seeds |
canola oil |
soy sauce |
Wash bell peppers and discard the seeds and white fleshy parts. Slice into thin strips about 2-3 inches long. Toss into your big bowl to set aside. Thinly slice onion by cutting it in half, then half width-wise. If your onion is strong, then consider only using half the onion. |
Peel off any dirty outer layers of cabbage. Then get your sick knife skills ready and chop cabbage as thin as you can. If the cabbage is too wide, then cut off a manageable chunk, then thinly slice into pieces about the same size as the bell pepper. Do this for both the red and regular cabbage. Toss into the bowl with ... |
