Andrew Noratrian,(AKA: Wingnut, Drew, Rap-Master A-Dog), is perhaps the best blogger in all history of the blogging. Seriously, this guy knows his blogs. One time he was talking to me and he was all like: "Man, I love to blog up all over this place. I will totaly blog you. Whatever that is. I don't know because my blogs are so much in the futrures of the outer spizace that they dont even call them blogs where I come from. In fact they don't even have a word for the blogs, it's more of a general concept. Like how when you look directy at the sun and then you look away all fast, and then you think you're still looking at the sun. There's no word for that either but you know what I'm saying. Right?"

The Education Reform Act of 1988 is a parliamentary act, passed at Westminster, which brought huge reforms to the provision of state education in England and Wales.

The Act brought the National Curriculum into being as a statutory document, reflecting the subject matter which must be taught in state maintained schools in England and Wales. It also made considerable changes to admissions procedures, financial management & delegation & Religious Education in state schools; reviewed the designation and financial management arrangements of Higher Education institutions, such as universities and colleges. With regards to local government, the act abolished the Inner London Education Authority as well as radically reforming the provisions for student support at Higher Education institutions.

Miss Snark is a wonder on the Net. Not only does she unmask phony people, but she delivers hard hitting and "snarky" advice to young writers. In her real life as Janet Reid of the JetReid Literary Agency, she works out of her home in Brooklyn and pitches work to small presses no one has ever heard of. She is out to help indie presses and new writers get their foot in the door. No other agents are really doing this--only Miss Snark. Her love of blogging and constant attention enables her to forsake working like a real agent and instead help her devoted club of "snarklings" who worship her every utterance.

These four guys from Durban, South Africa have been pumping out a spine chilling breed of positive and progressive energetic hardcore since 1998. They are South Africa's first, longest running, and most influential hardcore band. Many local bands cite Crossingpoint as an influence and inspiartion. Today the band are best described as playing a passionate and often brutal synthesis of metal and punk with a positive, relevant message.

In a world where heavy music is slowly being embraced by a wider audience, many bands have watered down their message to suit the listener. Where it used to be about an uncompromising message in response to societal problems, these days it seems to mostly be about the sound, with any sort of message being secondary. Crossingpoint have stayed true to their roots by playing creative, energy-driven music with a message that demands application. It's hard to go to a crossingpoint show and leave unchanged. Whether you're screaming your lungs out with the band or following their lyrics on their lyric sheets handed out before each show, theirs is a power and a passion that few bands consistently achieve.

Crossingpoint recorded & released their self-titled album independently in october 2004. All stops have been pulled out in terms of its recording, production and presentation. In what is a first for a South African band, it comes as an eye catching 6 panel 'digipak' package!

Real change happens in the minds and hearts of individuals who can go on to affect others. Crossingpoint's urgent and honest message deals with issues such as sexism, loyalty and personal responsibility, and is aimed at reaching the individual in a thoughtful and inspiring way.

A delicious chocolate bar native to New Zealand, and crafted by the mighty Whittaker's brothers. The bar is a rectangular slab of chocolate housing a good number of delicious unsalted peanuts. The wrapper is gold in colour bearing the famous Whittaker's signature. You can usually pick a peanut slab up for about $1 NZ at the dairy, some places go 90 cents, and there's a few dodgy ripoff bars going for 50c each... But the best deal is at most supermarkets, where you can generally score a 3 pack of Peanut Slabs for $1-99.

A lossless extension of the JPEG digital image encoding standard, lossless JPEG has been superceded by JPEG-LS.

The algorithm is not based on the Discrete Cosine Transform, as any rounding errors would prevent the algorithm from being lossless. Instead, each pixel is encoded by the difference between its value and its predicted value. Predicted values are based on the values of pixels above and/or to the left of the pixel itself, allowing the image to be reconstructed by knowing the value of the top-left pixel and all the differences.

Eight different predictors are allowed in the standard:

    Equal Credit Opportunity Act

    Sources

    Equal Credit Opportunity

    Credit is used by millions of consumers to finance an education or a house, remodel a home, or get a small business loan.

    The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) ensures that all consumers are given an equal chance to obtain credit. This doesn’t mean all consumers who apply for credit get it: Factors such as income, expenses, debt, and credit history are considerations for creditworthiness.

    The law protects you when you deal with any creditor who regularly extends credit, including banks, small loan and finance companies, retail and department stores, credit card companies, and credit unions. Anyone involved in granting credit, such as real estate brokers who arrange financing, is covered by the law. Businesses applying for credit also are protected by the law.

    When You Apply For Credit, A Creditor May Not...

    Discourage you from applying because of your sex, marital status, age, race, national origin, or because you receive public assistance income. Ask you to reveal your sex, race, national origin, or religion. A creditor may ask you to voluntarily disclose this information (except for religion) if you’re applying for a real estate loan. This information helps federal agencies enforce anti-discrimination laws. You may be asked about your residence or immigration status. Ask if you’re widowed or divorced. When permitted to ask marital status, a creditor may only use the terms: married, unmarried, or separated. Ask about your marital status if you’re applying for a separate, unsecured account. A creditor may ask you to provide this information if you live in "community property" states: Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington. A creditor in any state may ask for this information if you apply for a joint account or one secured by property. Request information about your spouse, except when your spouse is applying with you; your spouse will be allowed to use the account; you are relying on your spouse’s income or on alimony or child support income from a former spouse; or if you reside in a community property state. Inquire about your plans for having or raising children. Ask if you receive alimony, child support, or separate maintenance payments, unless you’re first told that you don’t have to provide this information if you won’t rely on these payments to get credit. A creditor may ask if you have to pay alimony, child support, or separate maintenance payments. When Deciding To Give You Credit, A Creditor May Not...

    Consider your sex, marital status, race, national origin, or religion. Consider whether you have a telephone listing in your name. A creditor may consider whether you have a phone. Consider the race of people in the neighborhood where you want to buy, refinance or improve a house with borrowed money. Consider your age, unless: you’re too young to sign contracts, generally younger than 18 years of age; you’re 62 or older, and the creditor will favor you because of your age; it’s used to determine the meaning of other factors important to creditworthiness. For example, a creditor could use your age to determine if your income might drop because you’re about to retire; it’s used in a valid scoring system that favors applicants age 62 and older. A credit-scoring system assigns points to answers you provide to credit application questions. For example, your length of employment might be scored differently depending on your age. When Evaluating Your Income, A Creditor May Not...

    Refuse to consider public assistance income the same way as other income. Discount income because of your sex or marital status. For example, a creditor cannot count a man’s salary at 100 percent and a woman’s at 75 percent. A creditor may not assume a woman of childbearing age will stop working to raise children. Discount or refuse to consider income because it comes from part-time employment or pension, annuity, or retirement benefits programs. Refuse to consider regular alimony, child support, or separate maintenance payments. A creditor may ask you to prove you have received this income consistently. You Also Have The Right To...

    Have credit in your birth name (Mary Smith), your first and your spouse’s last name (Mary Jones), or your first name and a combined last name (Mary Smith-Jones). Get credit without a cosigner, if you meet the creditor’s standards. Have a cosigner other than your husband or wife, if one is necessary. Keep your own accounts after you change your name, marital status, reach a certain age, or retire, unless the creditor has evidence that you’re not willing or able to pay. Know whether your application was accepted or rejected within 30 days of filing a complete application. Know why your application was rejected. The creditor must give you a notice that tells you either the specific reasons for your rejection or your right to learn the reasons if you ask within 60 days. Acceptable reasons include: "Your income was low," or "You haven’t been employed long enough." Unacceptable reasons are: "You didn’t meet our minimum standards," or "You didn’t receive enough points on our credit-scoring system." Indefinite and vague reasons are illegal, so ask the creditor to be specific. Find out why you were offered less favorable terms than you applied for—unless you accept the terms. Ask for details. Examples of less favorable terms include higher finance charges or less money than you requested. Find out why your account was closed or why the terms of the account were made less favorable unless the account was inactive or delinquent. A Special Note To Women A good credit history—a record of how you paid past bills—often is necessary to get credit. Unfortunately, this hurts many married, separated, divorced, and widowed women. There are two common reasons women don’t have credit histories in their own names: they lost their credit histories when they married and changed their names; or creditors reported accounts shared by married couples in the husband’s name only.

    If you’re married, divorced, separated, or widowed, contact your local credit bureau(s) to make sure all relevant information is in a file under your own name.

    If You Suspect Discrimination...

    Complain to the creditor. Make it known you’re aware of the law. The creditor may find an error or reverse the decision. Check with your state Attorney General to see if the creditor violated state equal credit opportunity laws. Your state may decide to prosecute the creditor. Bring a case in federal district court. If you win, you can recover damages, including punative damages. You also can obtain compensation for attorney’s fees and court costs. An attorney can advise you on how to proceed. Join with others and file a class action suit. You may recover punitive damages for the group of up to $500,000 or one percent of the creditor’s net worth, whichever is less. Report violations to the appropriate government agency. If you’re denied credit, the creditor must give you the name and address of the agency to contact. While some of these agencies don’t resolve individual complaints, the information you provide helps them decide which companies to investigate. A list of agencies follows.
