Would you like to bang your Facebook friends? You can now! Anna Klassen talks with Bang With Friends creators.
Wish to have sex along with your Facebook вЂњfriends?вЂќ Have actually you currently attempted drunkenly messaging them, composing suggestive posts on the вЂњwall,вЂќ or poking them, with out a poke back that is single? Then Bang With Friends, the brand new Facebook software developed by three unidentified college-aged males, can be for you personally.
The software, which launched an ago and had already gained more than 20,000 users in four days, is aimed at matching users with potential partners who donвЂ™t want to beat around the bush week. (Sorry.) Made to take rejection from the equation, the software just notifies вЂњcouplesвЂќ when both events wish to just bang remember to click on the вЂњonly meвЂќ privacy tab whenever setting up the software.
The creators for the application are really a trio who, for the present time, want to stay unknown to your public. A Whois seek out the BangWithFriends domain title pops up along with their enrollment information blocked, exposing the creators are internet savvy and now have taken the step that is extra keep their identities hidden. They did open up about their first project as a team while they donвЂ™t want their names attached to the BangWithFriends legacy in the making just yet.
вЂњ[Sex] should be something youвЂ™re expressive about, that youвЂ™re more comfortable with, if thereвЂ™s a alt sex home lovely girl or perhaps a handsome man that youвЂ™re interested in, you ought tonвЂ™t keep back,вЂќ said one of several appвЂ™s creators. вЂњWeвЂ™re simply giving you closer use of knowing the truth.вЂќ
Nevertheless, very early reviews associated with the tool that is hook-upnвЂ™t been sort. The day-to-day Dot indicates the application is an indicator that culture has forgotten just how to communicate verbally. The Inquisitr pointed during the appвЂ™s contact emailвЂ”pimpin bangwithfriendsвЂ”as proof that вЂњThis application is made with a 7th grader.вЂќ
Nevertheless the creators, whom graduated from middle college (and past), have loftier objectives than one might imagine. вЂњBy being honest and forward, weвЂ™re taking the no bullshit approach [to sex].вЂќ But that would make use of this kind of honest device? вЂњItвЂ™s mostly our demographic,вЂќ said one creator, вЂњpeople inside their twenties, present university graduates and folks in college.вЂќ
The California-based team thought regarding the idea in an effort to enhance standard online dating services like eHarmony or Match. вЂњOne evening, we had been shooting the shit about how exactly online dating sites is broken,вЂќ stated one creator. вЂњWhat many people want is simply to skip all of the shit and progress to the sex.вЂќ The conversation developed to Facebook, a social media platform mainly used by 18-34 years olds, a lot of whom come in college and make use of social networking in order to connect with pals. вЂњIt could be great, as dudes, in the event that you can find down which girls are now actually into both you and maybe not dancing around anything,вЂќ he said.
But would females, who surpass males in FacebookвЂ™s users by almost 9 percent, need to know which dudes desire to tooвЂњbangвЂќ them? The creators claim the app, which shows a partially nude girl lying on a bed as the website image, is not simply for men. BangWithFriends is loaded with imagery directed at the heterosexual male (for instance, the вЂњdoggy styleвЂќ icon cutout, and a вЂњhow it really worksвЂќ tab that showcases an illustration of a guy rolling for a condom), but simply four times into its inception, the application had already matched 1,000 partners whom mutually like to bang, therefore maybe there clearly was some method to the madness that is seemingly male-oriented.
вЂњThe crowd that weвЂ™re trying to find is forward and right about their sexuality.вЂќ And directly they have been, once the software currently does not just take intimate orientation into consideration. But based on the men, it wasnвЂ™t a jab in the LGBT community.
вЂњWeвЂ™ll be truthful we made this in two hoursвЂ¦ with a lot of Red Bull and vodka вЂ¦ and it took off on its own,вЂќ one of the creators said with you. вЂњWhat weвЂ™re taking care of at this time is building intimate choices. I have always been completely towards homosexual legal rights. We should provide everyone else this awesome use of finding individuals who would you like to bang.вЂќ
But shortage of customized preferences that are sexual one among the difficulties the group initially encountered. A youthful type of the app didnвЂ™t consider the existence of household members among a userвЂ™s Facebook buddies, showing anybody from grandfathers to siblings as potential вЂњbangвЂќ buddies. It has since been fixed, even though you canвЂ™t be matched along with your uncle, the BWF group does not wish to restrict userвЂ™s pairings example that is too muchвЂ”for your relationship status will not be used into account. вЂњWeвЂ™re perhaps maybe not too [sic] objective to setting up with this precious secretary across any office if she’s got a boyfriend currently,вЂќ said one creator.
In line with the 20-something founders, hooking upвЂ”with the вЂњcute secretaryвЂќ or anybody elseвЂ”shouldnвЂ™t be one thing to whisper about. BangWithFriends makes utilization of many slang terms for intercourse: click the вЂњhow it really worksвЂќ tab and the URL includes the terms вЂњfuckвЂќ and вЂњhow.вЂќ
вЂњSex is this kind of thing that is awkward talk about within our culture, and now we donвЂ™t think it ought to be,вЂќ one of is own cohorts stated. вЂњ Our philosophy is the fact that intercourse shouldnвЂ™t be taboo. We must be in a position to state вЂbangвЂ™ and вЂfuckвЂ™ on our site because that is how we talk in true to life.вЂќ
As well as in real world, intercourse frequently blossoms as a relationship, in line with the founders, and never one other means around. By assisting users вЂњanonymously find buddies who will be down when it comes to night,вЂќ the application can be attempting to sell you the thought of an authentic relationship. вЂњItвЂ™s less about one-night stands and much more about getting individuals to be much more blunt with all the way theyвЂ™re approaching each other,вЂќ said a creator. вЂњWe believe relationships actually evolve once you’ve intercourse with each other.вЂќ Another creator included, вЂњThere arenвЂ™t many individuals who possessnвЂ™t had sex along with their family member, so we think that itвЂ™s vital to have that intimate very first minute to get things going.вЂќ
The theme of their application undoubtedly revolves around sex whether theyвЂ™re building relationships or simply pairing up mutually attracted couples for one night of play. As well as some point, the creators had to own вЂњThe TalkвЂќ along with their parents. вЂњI talked with my people last weekunless it took off,вЂќ said one creatorвЂ¦ I wouldnвЂ™t have told them. He ended up being cracking up hysterically. I was raised in a family group where there clearly was taboo that is nвЂ™t much intercourse. It had been all enjoyable and games.вЂќ
But also for the founders of BangWithFriends, their item warrants some limits. When expected should they would let their younger siblings utilize the software, there have been a couple of seconds of doubt.
вЂњI would personally positively block [my little sister] from utilizing it,вЂќ said one creator eventually. вЂњWe should really produce customized alerts if some of our younger siblings sign on,вЂќ he believed to others. вЂњAnd then simply completely power down the website for them. Be like, вЂњSorry, we realize you.вЂќ

DANSVILLE — A local auto parts store complained about one of it's employees who allegedly stole money from the store by supplying false information about payments and expenses that happened during his employment.
Carlos, Arriaga, 39, of Dansville was arrested after a criminal investigation.
"The investigation discovered and alleges that between August 2016 and June 2017, Arriaga would supply his employer with duplicate gas receipts from the same purchase and collect double the reimbursement for the gas purchase," said Sheriff Thomas Dougherty. "It is alleged that Arriaga collected well over $1,000 that he was not entitled to receive."
Arriaga was arrested for fourth-degree grand larceny and first-degree falsifying business records; both charges are class E Felonies.
Arriaga was turned over to Central Booking Deputies at the Livingston County Jail for processing and held in pre-arraignment detention. The District Attorney's Office recommended bail be set at $2,500 cash or $5,000 bond.
Arriaga was later arraigned before Justice Kenney in the Village of Dansville Court. The Judge did remand Arriaga to the custody of the Sheriff on the recommended bail.
The investigation is continuing with the possibility of more charges to follow.
The investigation was handled by Sheriff’s Investigator Josh Monster.

Leading telecoms infrastructure company, Helios Towers Africa Ltd, has reignited its plans to list on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The company is looking to raise $125 million through the issuance of new shares, in addition to the sale of existing shares by shareholders.
At least 25 percent of the Helios is expected to be free-floated on the London bourse. According to the company’s statement, proceeds from the listing will be deployed into expanding its services, including possibly into new countries.
Merrill Lynch International, Jefferies and Standard Bank are joint global coordinators and bookrunners while EFG Hermes and Renaissance Capital will act as joint bookrunners if the IPO proceeds, Helios said.
Last year, Helios abandoned a plan to go public in an initial public offering (IPO) owing to concern about political risk in some of the countries it has operations (DRC and Tanzania), Reuters reported. The public offering was expected to raise the firm’s value to $2.47 billion.
The company’s decision to revive the listing plan comes as continental mobile network operators (MNOs) are gearing up to launch 5G in Africa in the coming years. Helios Towers currently provides towers access for a number of Africa’s biggest carriers such as Airtel, Orange, MTN, and Vodacom.
“The Sub-Saharan Africa telecommunications market is and will continue to be one of the most exciting and high growth in the world,” CEO of Helios Towers, Kash Pandya, said.“The underlying demographic and macro-economic trends are compelling.”
According to the CEO, the growth in the continent’s telecommunications market is being driven by a young, growing and increasingly urbanized population whose demand for high-quality mobile voice and data services continues unabated.
The growth is “being further fuelled by the expansion of 3G and 4G services and one day 5G services; and GDP growth that across our markets is expected to be 4.5 percent per annum to 2024,” Pandya added. Helios has delivered 18 consecutive quarters of growth in adjusted EBIDTA, which stood at $201 million at the end of the second quarter of this year.
The company’s expansion bid positions it for further growth in the tower business as telecoms companies across Africa have in recent years sold off their tower units. This is aimed at cutting costs by divesting from infrastructure and instead focusing on core service delivery.
Africa has more than 120,000 towers, with over 40 percent owned by independent firms. According to data from TowerXchange, Tanzania, which is an important market for Helios, has the highest number of towers in East Africa at 8,800.
Altogether, Helios Towers has assets (phone masts) in five distinct markets in sub-Saharan Africa – the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Republic of Congo, Ghana, South Africa, and Tanzania. Existing shareholders in the company include the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and telecom companies Millicom and Bharti Airtel.

Lawmakers Back Pitt
Traders Magazine, May 2002
The firestorm of criticism about SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt is "much ado about nothing." Pitt is "an honorable, intelligent man who is doing a good job." Those comments came from key committee chairmen in the House of Representatives recently at the Security Traders Association's recent congressional conference. Both Michael Oxley (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and Richard Baker (R-Louisiana), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Capital Markets, made a point of telling trading professionals that Pitt should stay in his post despite the media criticism. In a recent Wall Street Journal editorial, the paper charged that the former securities attorney has exacerbated the controversies over Enron and Arthur Andersen. "Mr. Pitt hasn't helped his task of restoring trust in corporate governance by the way he's appeared to assist his former industry clients," the editorial stated.

This particular topic has been bothering me for some time now. Like many of my fellow American newspaper readers, I am a Letters to the Editor junkie. I love to read this section every morning watching the free exchange of opinions. It's great when things get heated and a particular topic gets people going for days on end.
A certain topic always makes me cringe; not because of the topic itself, but because of some of the self-righteous people who choose to write about it. For every different choice of lifestyle on our planet, there is a person out there to demonize and finger point, to clutch a Bible and stand ready to deliver a sermon on the mount.
When it comes to gay rights (most recently gay marriage), there is no shortage of Jesus scholars out there ready to condemn gay people in one breath and promote a culture of life and brotherhood in another. Every week or so someone writes into the papers I read; every week someone else takes a number in the line to judge others with such severity that I wonder how they sleep at night. The problem isn't unique to the U.S., but there does seem to be a twisted , maniacal moral tidal wave going on in this country when the topic of gay marriage is introduced.
It's an ongoing outrage for me. I just don't see how people can actually think being a good person means passing such harsh judgment on others, waving words of scripture in the air as if to sling arrows at a group of people that they blindly and belligerently refuse to accept.
This is fellowship? This is brotherhood? No. This is an outrage.

Calhoun Football Returns To State Poll
Sandcrabs In At No. 10
Port Lavaca, Texas —
Three area high school football teams make the Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Magazine state polls Monday.
Calhoun, back in the state 5A Division II poll at number ten. The Sandcrabs, improving to 3-1 on the season, 1-0 in district, after winning on the road against a then-unbeaten Gregory-Portland team.

The Sandcrabs host another unbeaten team, Alice, in district play this Friday night.
Two more area teams stay at the top of the 2A Division I state ratings. Refugio stays at number one, Shiner at number two. Both teams now 5-0 on the season. The Bobcats overcame a 28-6 second quarter deficit at home against Mart to win 48-40 last Friday night, while the Comanches won 55-6 at home against Goliad.. This Friday night, Refugio has a bye week, while Shiner hosts Lexington.

Carefully tip the birdbath to empty standing water and debris. Have a bucket on hand if you don't want the mess in the garden.
Use a bucket of water or a spray from the hose to rinse the birdbath.
Next, you need to kill algae and mildew to keep the water clean when you refill it. So, mix together a half-gallon of water and a quarter of a cup of bleach and pour it carefully into the basin of the birdbath.
Cover the bath with a tarp or piece of cardboard while the mixture saturates the algae. You don't want any birds landing in your bleach mix.
After ten minutes or so, pull on some rubber gloves and use a scrubber brush to scour away any standing muck.
Then rinse the basin with hot water making sure that all of the bleach mixture has been rinsed away.
Fill the birdbath back up with cool, clean water and put a couple of pennies in the bottom. The copper from the pennies will attract the algae so that it doesn't adhere to the bath itself making it easier to clean in the future.
I hope these tips help you and birds enjoy this season! I'm Mrs. Fixit and it's just that simple.

DENVER — He’s a Denver native who has held elected office for more than a decade, and who touts the city’s growth as its biggest asset.
She’s a Denver transplant who rose to prominence as the former president of the River North (RiNo) Art District, who believes that growth is one of the city’s biggest problems.
During Tuesday night’s 9NEWS mayoral debate, incumbent Michael Hancock and his challenger Jamie Giellis highlighted their distinct differences during an at-times tense discussion that covered topics ranging from the city’s boom in development to homelessness to sexism.
The debate happened the same day that Giellis went on the attack against Hancock, alleging that he created a culture of sexual harassment in city hall – something the mayor fervently denied, though he has admitted previously to sending suggestive texts to a security guard on his police detail.
Giellis made headlines last week after she botched what the initialism "NAACP" stood for during an event, and then scrubbed her social media accounts following the resurfacing of a 2009 tweet where she asked why so many cities have Chinatowns.
Hancock is the first Denver mayor forced into a runoff since 1995. He won just under 39% of the vote during the May election – the most of the candidates but not enough to secure the 50% plus one needed to win overall.
Giellis was in second, with just under 25%, meaning that she’ll face off against Hancock in the June 4 runoff.
Read a synopsis of their debate responses grouped by topic below. You can watch it in full by clicking on the video player above.
Both candidates acknowledged that Denver’s recent growth has led to certain pains and displacement for some communities. Their point of contention was about who to blame.
“This leadership that we have had in office for the past eight years has prioritized what developers want,” Giellis said.
Hancock said his focus was on pulling the city out of the recession.
“I would much rather be in a position to address the challenges of growth rather than a dying city,” he said.
The two candidates sparred over accepting developer money – specifically about Giellis’ donations from Kyle Zeppelin, a vocal Hancock dissenter whose development company was responsible for projects like The Source in RiNo. The Source is a hotel and market hall with independent retailers and restaurants.
Hancock implied that Zeppelin handpicked Giellis as a candidate.
“That started this whole process of finding the candidate who could run for mayor,” Hancock said.
Giellis countered, arguing that “Kyle Zeppelin wasn’t out there buying votes for me.”
“Development leads here,” Giellis said. “We’ve seen it. Everyone sees it.”
In response to questions about her news conference alleging a culture rife with sexual harassment at city hall, Giellis said: “Somebody has to stand up for those women.”
Hancock called this a lie.
“She can’t back up those very false accusations that were laid out there,” Hancock said.
After 80% of Denver voters rejected an effort to end Denver’s urban camping ban, Giellis said she retooled her campaign’s platform, but that she wants to change the city’s policies if elected.
“Let’s be clear, the camping ban has been in place since 2012 and in that time, homelessness has quadrupled,” Giellis said, later adding that homeless sweeps in the city don’t work.
Hancock, who defended those sweeps, said they stemmed from the Occupy Denver movement in 2012, when he said more than 100 people per night were sleeping on the 16th Street Mall.
“We find nothing compassionate about allowing people to sleep outside,” Hancock said. “The people in Denver and our homeless deserve better.”
Hancock specifically asked Giellis about her ability to run a machine as large as the city of Denver.
“I’ve already worked with nearly every city agency in the city and county of Denver in some capacity,” Giellis countered.
“I don’t think Jamie’s prepared,” Hancock said later in the debate, acknowledging the two “disagree on policy quite a bit.”
Hancock, a Denver native, argued that Giellis was a Colorado transplant who has “chosen not to vote in half of the elections in Denver.”
“She has helped to gentrify a piece of Denver that’s a historic piece of Denver,” Hancock said of the RiNo neighborhood, which is in a part of Five Points.
Giellis countered and said that was never her role, and that instead, she was brought in “because there was chaos in where the city was going.”
“A single human can never start the gentrification process,” she said. “… I came on in 2014. The gentrification was well underway.”
Giellis said there were other issues to address before perception when it comes to the city’s decriminalization of “magic mushrooms” in the May election.
“I think we have to worry about the welfare of our community before we worry about our image being the top priority,” Giellis said.
Hancock countered, saying that worrying about image is paramount and when he met with officials in Amsterdam, they cautioned about the city being known as a drug mecca.
“We need to protect the Denver that we know and love,” Hancock said, saying he has to work to bring conventions and businesses to Denver.
“We already have issues bringing conventions and visitors here because we haven’t dealt with homelessness,” Giellis countered.

“As they head further down the road of losing wars and wrecking Anglo-American liberties, Messrs Obama and Cameron and their supporters in all parties would do well to read the words of the great 17th century English republican Algernon Sidney, a man who was revered on both sides of the Atlantic, who greatly influenced America’s founders, and who was executed by the British Crown for what it described as sedition. ‘There must therefore be a right,’ Sidney wrote…
…If he [a political leader] be justly accounted an enemy of all, who injures all; he above all must be the publick enemy of a nation, who by usurping power over them, does the greatest and most publick injury that a people can suffer. For which reason, by an established law among the most virtuous nations, every man might kill a tyrant; and no names are recorded in history with more honor, than of those who did it.”
According to Media Matters, however, Scheuer is still a welcome guest on FOX:
Just 10 days after the column was published, Scheuer appeared on Fox Business’ Lou Dobbs Tonight to accuse Hillary Clinton of “effectively murdering” the Americans who died during the 2012 attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya. According to a Media Matters search, Scheuer has appeared on Fox Business at least twice since, on Lou Dobbs Tonight June 9 and on Money July 18.
Fox News Channel — which hosted Scheuer dozens of times before his validation of attempts to assassinate the president — has continued to invite Scheuer on in recent months. Fox & Friends Sunday invited the former CIA officer on in June, and after having appeared on the weekday edition of Fox & Friends in February, the show invited him back August 1.
FOX should have zero credibility at this point; however, like a cult leader who’s routinely debunked by skeptics, FOX continues onward, preying on peoples’ cognitive blind spots by promising them empty lies and giving them rage and hate to feed on.

Everybody has a price including, apparently, the owners of land at Willets Point where the city want to put up its hyper controversial $3 billion residential-retail-hotel-convention facility. Soooo, how is the city getting the land? The old fashioned way: paying through the nose for it. Example: It paid $3.5 million for a half-acre of land at nearly 10 times the assessed value. There are deals with 12 landowners. There are no deals with 60. The sale was called "a pretty good deal" for the seller. [NYP; Willets Point Coverage]

Let me introduce myself: I'm Janet Davis, an artist and entrepreneur living and working on the North side of Bonavista Bay, on the island of Newfoundland in Eastern Canada. There are many challenges to running a business here in my small rural hometown, and there are many wonderful benefits too. This blog is where I share some of those challenges and triumphs, and share what it's like to live in this part of the world.
I really miss getting visits from the local school children. Most years, one or two of Memorial Academy’s teachers bring a gaggle of kids the few doors down to my place so I can show them what I do here. Hopefully, next school-year, we can resume the visits!
So, almost 12 years have passed, and I’m still doing the same thing. Is that good? Is that bad? Hmmm. I guess we can determine that I am not a quitter! Persistent, or stubborn? Sure. Family traits are hard to swerve around.
The thing is, I have been trying my damnedest to make my small business a successful venture since 2002. I am still not really successful, although my team and I have come a long way since then, especially with the addition of Norton’s Cove Café. I love my work. I love making artwork, I love the paperwork, I love getting new products in at the shop, I love trying all the new things to eat at the Café, and I love writing and re-writing my business plan to make room for new developments. I love meeting people in my studio, and I really love seeing my community support this small business.
I have reapplied to ACOA to help finance my Norton’s Cove Rooms project, and I definitely won’t be able to go ahead with that part of my business plan without their assistance. My fingers, toes, and eyes are crossed while I await their response.
I am fully invested in Norton’s Cove. If I fail, I will have nothing to show for the past 19 years of work. So failing isn’t an option. And the Rooms @ Norton’s Cove is THE bit of the plan that’s going to bring it all together. IF I can raise the funds to get it built this year. Cross your fingers for me, won’t you?

A reddish ink on yellow rice paper: Trial Proof # 3
This paper is rather the colour of a sculpin, with camoflage-like markings, fitting of the ultra-camoflauged sculpin. Didn’t turn out all that fab, but…
For Trial Proof # 5, I increased the pressure on the etching press and pulled a second proof from the same ink, showing the impression of the thread marks in the paper from proof # 4.
Trial Proof # 6 & 7 are printed by applying watercolour directly to the printing plate, drying, then rolling the ink over top. The dampness of the paper fibres and the pressure from the press allow the dried watercolours to release into the proof.
Today I’ll be editioning this ‘Whip Sculpin’. I’m still trying to decide how many I want to print, but I’ve narrowed down how they’ll look. Stop in the studio for a look at how they’re made, and find out which trial proof I’m using as my guide to print the edition. Alexis Templeton and I also plan to make a few platters as part of this edition by embossing clay slabs with the printing plate, an exciting technique we’ve been playing with for a while.

Baby Boomers make note. Squashing pupil car loan financial obligation is normally believed to be the more youthful generation’s issue. Extra and also a lot more, with grads incapable to manage it on their very own, hills of pupil lendings are ending up being mommy and also daddy’s albatross.
According to The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, greater than $1.3 trillion in pupil lendings is possessed by Americans. This quantity is greater than 2 and also a half times just what was owed 10 years earlier.
The Pew Research Center just recently did an evaluation of brand-new information from the Federal Reserve Board’s 2016 Survey of Household Economics and Decision-makingand also provides these 5 realities regarding pupil lendings in America based upon this evaluation:
- About four-in-ten grownups under age 30 have pupil car loan financial obligation.
- The quantity pupils owe differs commonly, specifically by level achieved.
- Young university grads with pupil lendings are most likely compared to those without lendings to have a sideline and also to report battling economically.
- Young university grads with pupil lendings are most likely to stay in a higher-income household compared to those without a bachelor’s level.
- Compared with young people that do not have pupil financial obligation, pupil car loan owners are much less positive regarding the worth of their level.
Many child boomers are currently confronted with assisting repay their children’ university lendings, which included worry could endanger their economic protection in retired life. Regarding 2.8 million individuals age 60 and also older have impressive pupil lendings– quadruple the number in 2005, inning accordance with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Most of the present student-loan financial debts of individuals 60- plus were sustained spending for university for a kid or grandchild, and also in the previous years, for the 60 to 64 age, student-loan financial obligation has actually raised eight-fold– to $38billion!
” Americans in their 60 s are currently the fastest-growing age dealing with student-loan financial obligation,” stated Andrew Anable, an economic coordinator at Safeguard Investment Advisory Group in Santa Barbara, California.
” It is a severe issue for lots of that remain in retired life or approaching it. There are methods to handle the financial obligation, and also for those still in the preparation phases, there are vital factors to take into consideration so university financial obligation does not endanger their retired life.”
Anable listings 4 actions baby-boomer moms and dads must take if they are handling– or thinking about tackling– their children’ student-loan financial obligation:
Attack the financial obligation
Due to the fact that a greater month-to-month repayment could be beneficial in the lengthy run,
Anable suggests a hostile repayment strategy.
” Let’s picture somebody has a $35,000pupil car loan with 7 percent passion,” Anable stated. “They could wish to take a 30- year layaway plan rather than a 10- year strategy, due to the fact that it’s mosting likely to decrease the month-to-month repayment by $170 At what expense? Paying over 30 years is mosting likely to set you back thousands a lot more in passion.”
Anable recommends inspecting a student-loan calculator for repayment terms. CFPB reports the typical quantity of pupil car loan financial obligation for individuals 60- and-over is greater than $23,000
Be cautious regarding co-signing
Over fifty percent of co-signers on impressive pupil lendings are 55 and also over. If they co-signed– a larger issue if they’re near or in retired life with a set revenue, with pupils battling to make moms and dads, grandparents or settlements are on the hook.
” Many individuals that co-sign do not recognize they’re liable for the financial obligation if their youngster do not pay,” stated Anable. “It’s OKAY for you not to co-sign for the children. It seems severe, however the children have to recognize this could influence your retired life along with your debt.” One very easy standard is: For your children’ university, do not obtain over half your yearly revenue.
Make retired life a concern
” Whether you decide to assist your children or otherwise, your retired life has to be a concern,” Anable stated. “A great guideline is placing 10-15percent a year right into your 401 (k) or retirement. “Earmark it for your future, and also it must not be touched early for you or for your children.”
Do not default
Lapsing in settlements could bring about garnishment of Social Security checks. In 2015, greater than 12 percent of 60- and-over consumers remained in default. Income-driven payment strategies could be an alternative to decrease month-to-month settlements. “If you miss out on a settlement, objective to return to settlements or renegotiate the regards to the car loan when you can,” stated Anable.
” This isn’t really an issue you could conceal away in a cabinet,” stated Anable. “And prior to it ends up being an issue, child boomers should very carefully stabilize the choice to assist their youngsters together with attending to their very own retired life requirements.”

Bulgarian President Criticizes Security Service in Dogan Attack Aftermath
Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev has criticized the country's National Security Service for its reaction to Saturday's attack against key politician Ahmed Dogan.
Police in Bulgaria detained a man after he pointed a gas pistol at former Movement for Rights and Freedoms leader Ahmed Dogan as he was delivering a speech in the capital Sofia on Saturday. No shots were fired. The man was identified as Oktay Enimemehmedov, a 25-year-old ethnic Turkish resident of the city of Burgas.
Plevneliev told reporters on Monday that he has ordered National Security Service head Todor Kodzheykov to prepare a report on the incident.
The President stated that "mistakes were made" by the National Security Service, adding that a number of measures will be taken to improve its work.
- » The Price of Water is Rising in 14 Regions of the Country
- » Police Trade Unions Will Protest Before Christmas
- » Water and Energy Regulatory Commission Decides on the Final Increasing Price of water in 14 Districts Since January 1
- » Unified Security System Will be Presented Today in Sofia
- » International Report: A Large Part of Islamic State's Weapons are Bulgarian
- » MPs will Discuss the State Debt of the Country
“Mistakes were made”
Plevneliev it’s all one big mistake!
Look for example how amateurish , sloppy and unprofessionally they handled the arrest of the “assassin”. (probably a guy with some mental disorder playing with a gas pistol…)
How can all “politicians” there kick and punch that person in such an animalistic, shameful and unprofessional manner. Even the old fat ones took their turn….. If that happened on tape in America that assassin would have sued all of them!
Basically you showed on tape to the entire world how exactly NOT to protect and NOT to arrest criminals.
What a pity, what a shame again Bulgaria.

More importantly, why should we need the States permission to participate in something which God instituted Gen. Because only through that sanctification can this union rise beyond the desires and passions of temporal creatures, to enter into the cosmic eternity. My parents were married for 18 years and then divorced. Men must get lawyers who are not stuck in the mindset that those types of dispositions are still the norm. Although the as 50 percent anymore, divorce is still a normal occurrence — people get divorced all the damn time. You and I will be buried with the same amount of money zero. No matter how wisely you choose your spouse, you cannot force them to remain the same person they were when you married.
Every day, married guys are told that they've given up their freedom or that they've been emasculated. Anonymous November 5, 2017 It breaks my heart to read some of these cynical views on marriage. Life is short, celebrate your personal joys exactly the way you want to. I guess the question then follows, how do you stay married? When one loves another they want to feel secure; this often illusionary feeling of security is enhanced by the legal binding of one to another. My mom and dad had the worst fight of their lives. Give the State an inch and they will take a 100 miles or as one elderly woman once said to me 10,000 miles. It is not a medal that one acquires and wears around his neck.
After all, if humans were to get married because they wanted to possess another, this would be a very cynical view of life and completely unnecessary one. In the mid-1800s, certain states began allowing interracial marriages or miscegenation as long as those marrying received a license from the state. The servant did all his master asked, plus he prayed to God for guidance and confirmation verses 12—14. Given the States demand to usurp the place of God and family regarding marriage, and given its unbiblical, immoral laws to govern marriage, it would be an act of treason for me to do so. Yankeleh Gilead Eastern Thailand October 30, 2017 I wonder if the reasons for marriage, financial stability, a good home life, children, etc.
Sometimes friends can be better than family. Then if the majority of women want to get married a statistic that you seem to feel no need to back up with a reliable source , then logically, it follows that there are some women who don't want to be married. Intermarry is defined in Blacks Law Dictionary as, Miscegenation; mixed or interracial marriages. We should all question what we are being told by others and take very little at face value. Being successful in whichever incarnation you accept that concept can be really lonely and it can feel empty when there's no-one to be genuinely happy for you. You know the one I'm talking about, go to school, go to school again or work yourself into the ground to pay bills while you writhe away in pain, buy a house, get married, have children, pretend your happy, retire, wait to get sick and die, the end.
If the current trend continues, the vast majority of today's marriages about two-thirds will never divorce. They know that life is unpredictable, often difficult and that those aspects can be impossible to escape. I want to get married because I actually understand the true meaning of such a sacred institution. Statistics show that married men fare better health-wise than never-married, divorced, and widowed. Intellectually, I don't think there's any difference between being in a non-married committed relationship and being in a married one, but emotionally, for me, there's a difference. From their perspective, this is where a spouse comes in.
So if you didn't want to get married and then suddenly times are tough, you're probably going to blame it on the marriage. Divorce does not incentivize me. Because divorce court will ruin their lives. Janice Denver October 27, 2017 Marriage is not just one to another; but also the joining of two families, then when the children are grown and marriage more braches are connected to the tree, marriage builds strong nations as values, moral and ethics are passed down. Pastor Trewhella has been marrying couples without marriage licenses for ten years. Tragically, a great many Christian marriages end in divorce, and many even for biblically valid reasons e. We generally take up the worst and most dangerous jobs.
Divorce court has driven men to suicide. I have to assume there is then an authority full of state employees with nice pay, benefits and perks to then administer each of those licenses too? And if you've made up your mind, that's fine too. A lot of us today are certainly Not single by choice as you can see. I want to join families and take a name and live a life fully dedicated to the person I love. I'm still committed to this man, love him to bits and intend to ride the highs and lows that exist when in relationship.
I was actually critical of the evolution of feminism in the last few decades. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. I did take comfort in your words however, Rabbi— If I understood you correctly, systems and behaviors which are against Gd and our true nature will eventually self-destruct. The American colonies required that marriages be registered, but in the mid-19th century state supreme courts ruled that public cohabitation was evidence of a valid marriage. All those broken bridges are mended. And love, nurture and raise a child ren with that person. The single life like the married life is full of challenges.
And, what about the couples who are crazy in love and have been in committed, long-term relationships, but are not married? I wasn't the kind of little girl who dreamt of getting married one day nor have I ever really visualised a wedding. There are plenty of kids in this world who need attention and nurturing. Folks really need to get a grip and stop doing things backwards. Both partners in a failed marriage should leave only with what they came in with. In fact, however, 1980 was the peak for divorce and ever since then, rates have been decreasing.
Last week, reported that as of 2009, 53% of births to American women under 30 were out of wedlock. It's more important to find the right person to be with, and if you guys enjoy the idea of more adventures together, then by all means have kids. Perhaps neither group should be condemned. So the Rabbi approached this guy who wanted to marry again and offered his daughter with the added incentive of acceptance of giving him a helping hand financially in setting up a business. Also, 1 Corinthians 7:2 indicates that sex before marriage is. When you read the Bible, you see that God intended for children to have their fathers blessing regarding whom they married.

‘Oh Baby’ was a song that made fans of Chidinma love up. It was actually a love song written by the singer to express how she feels whenever she is around her lover. It had a simple melody which featured Flavour N’abania’s vocals. Also, it had a beautiful video which made the lyrics more ‘clearer’ and quite intriguing.
Fall in love:
This was a hit that came after “Oh Baby”. It was also a song that had the love vibes within. It was released on November 7, 2016 and was produced by MasterCraft. The song was one hell of a good love jam!

With the swelling of the legs in the ankle, almost everyone is confronted. Most often this problem is overtaken by women who wear high-heeled shoes. Sometimes the swelling of the legs can be caused by a constant strain of the foot when walking, resulting in accumulation of liquid near the ankle. Swelling can manifest on both legs in equal measure. The main thing is to find out the reason and eliminate it in time.
In this article, you will learn about the main causes of ankle edema, precautions and treatment.
What causes swelling in the ankles?
Specialists in the field of medicine have come to a common opinion that edema on the legs in the ankle may have diverse causes. There are edemas of these types:
- double sided.
Reasons for the appearance of unilateral swelling in the ankle
Unilateral swelling manifests itself in the formation of swelling as a result of fluid accumulation on one of the legs. The swelling occurs on one side of the ankle. The accumulation of fluid in this area can trigger:
- development of thrombosis;
- infection of infectious agents;
- development of the inflammatory process;
- insect bites;
- varicose veins.
Injury to lower limb
Swelling near the ankle arises when joints, bones or ligaments are injured. With the closed type of bone fracture in the ankle, a sharp pain syndrome and swelling are felt, which in this case is due to the accumulation of blood flowing out of the damaged blood vessels.
Development of thrombosis
Also ankle can swell as a result of blockage of blood vessels. Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in the vessel. This indicates a violation of blood circulation. The vessel can be completely clogged or narrowed. The person experiences a painful syndrome, there is an edema. Along with the formation of thrombi, an inflammatory process in the veins, called thrombophlebitis, can develop.
Development of an infectious disease
The infection of an open wound on the leg, especially in the ankle region, can provoke swelling of the latter. Infectious pathogens cause the development of the inflammatory process. Edema can occur in the presence of some skin diseases or the development of abscesses and phlegmon.
The development of an inflammatory process caused by a disease, for example, arthrosis or arthritis, can lead to the appearance of swelling of the ankles. The accumulation of fluid is not associated with inflammation, but with a change in the load or its improper distribution on the joint tissues.
Swelling in various bites
Often, swelling in the ankle may result from biting amphibians or insects. When bitten, they secrete a poisonous substance that falls under the skin and entails the development of an inflammatory process. In most cases, puffiness can be caused by an allergic reaction to a bite.
Varicose veins often appear in women. The appearance of such a disease contributes to a variety of causes and factors. As a result of venous insufficiency, an edema appears in the ankle region. The development of puffiness indicates a disruption in the functioning of the valvular apparatus and that blood to the heart is progressing untenable. In the veins, blood stagnation occurs, and the surrounding fluid begins to permeate into other tissue and interstitial layers, resulting in the formation of edema.
Reasons for the appearance of bilateral edema in the ankle
Bilateral edema in the ankle region occurs on both legs. This phenomenon can be caused by the following reasons:
- long standing;
- wearing uncomfortable shoes;
- development of kidney or heart disease;
- pathology of lymph drainage from the legs( lymphedema or lymphostasis);
- reception of pharmacological preparations of various spectrum of action.
If a person stays in a static position for a long time, for example, is sitting or standing, swelling may occur in the ankle area due to a temporary violation of the lymph drainage. Therefore, when your lifestyle is associated with sedentary work or standing, for example, at a machine or some equipment, you periodically need to change your static position and give your legs a chance to relax.
Wearing casual shoes that discomfort
Shoes should be beautiful and comfortable. This primarily applies to casual shoes. Women like to wear high-heeled shoes, often the shoe itself can be uncomfortable and eventually discomfort. Long exposure of the foot in an unnatural( wrong) position can provoke swelling. Puffiness can also occur after exercise. If you shoe uncomfortable sports shoes, then the outflow of blood and lymph is broken, resulting in an ankle in the ankle area.
Swelling of the legs with excess weight
If a person has excessive body weight or is obese of varying degrees, the appearance of swelling in the ankle is quite natural. Excessive pressure on the joints, circulation of fluid and blood is disturbed.
Swelling during pregnancy
During fetal gestation, puffiness in the ankle region may appear in the third trimester, closer to the process of delivery. This is due to the fact that the genital organ compresses the genital vein, therefore, blood circulation and outflow of fluid are disturbed.
Appearance of leg edema in renal and cardiovascular diseases
The water balance is disrupted as a result of a malfunction in the functioning of the kidneys. The permeability of the walls of the vessels increases, in connection with which the non-diluted liquid accumulates between the tissues. To swelling in the ankle can lead to an elevated level of blood pressure. Most often, this manifestation occurs in the afternoon.
Pathology of the process of lymph drainage of
In the detection of diseases associated with a violation of lymph drainage, a concomitant symptom is edema formation. The lymph accumulates in the tissues and between them, resulting in edema in the ankles and shins.
Often, long-term use of pharmacological drugs related to the hormonal, antihypertensive group, or antidepressants, may entail the accumulation of fluid in the tissue layers, resulting in swelling in the ankle region.
What should I do if my ankle swells?
If you begin to notice that your legs, especially in the ankle, swell, you need to contact your doctor. If this is due to sprains, joints, dislocations or fractures, you should immediately go to a traumatologist. If the swelling is associated with mechanical damage to the leg, you should consult a therapist who will conduct a full-scale examination and be able to identify the cause of this phenomenon.
Depending on the cause of the appearance of puffiness, the treating specialist will prescribe an individual treatment course. It is not recommended to start diuretic pharmacological or folk remedies without first consulting a specialist. This can only cause an exacerbation and aggravate the disease.
What if the swelling of the legs is not due to the development of any disease?
If the legs in the ankle region swell constantly, but this is not due to the development of a serious illness, but is caused by wearing uncomfortable shoes, pregnancy or overweight, doctors recommend taking the following measures on their own:
- rest in a lying position, lifting your legs above your head;
- drink less fluids;
- limit intake of salty foods;
- take a shower( preferably contrast);
- periodically make baths with saline solution;
- try changing shoes;
- perform exercise and physical exercises;

Master of Urban Planning Transnational Planning Stream
Many academic planning programs in the U.S. structure their specializations and areas of concentration such that international planning issues are covered in a separate subfield labeled "international planning" or "international development planning" that is intended to serve a distinct professional career path. In contrast, the Department of Urban and Regional Planning recognizes that even students preparing to practice solely within the United States benefit from exposure to international best practices in various planning subfields as well as an understanding of the implications of growing international linkages among cities and regions. Moreover, those students that are seeking careers specifically in international development planning and related fields are best served by developing expertise within one or more substantive planning concentrations (land use and transportation, community development, economic development, sustainable design and development, GIS) in addition to knowledge of the international planning field.
DURP's Transnational Planning Stream is therefore not designed as a separate concentration, but rather as a set of courses and learning opportunities supplementing the Department's other concentrations. This is a unique aspect of the curriculum at UIUC: transnational planning education is designed to work with, rather than in lieu of, other planning subfields.
The Transnational Planning Stream seeks to promote critical thinking and analytical skills by focusing on the history of international development planning, globalization as an influence on the growth and development of foreign and domestic cities and regions, the ethics and politics of contemporary development, and international planning theory and practice. To achieve these, Transnational Planning Stream stresses combining classroom learning with field-based experiences, study and research abroad, and internship with local and international organizations.

Living in an increasingly globalized and interconnected world, exposure to transnational issues, gives an increased range of opportunity for students. DURP international planning activities and programs and its Transnational Planning Stream opens several such career paths for a graduating student. The students may combine their understanding of transnational processes with any of the concentration areas to develop the right skills for the career of their choice. Most concentrations also provide a list of career options for students who wish to combine their concentration with the TNP stream, and this information is available on the respective concentration webpage. This stream also provides opportunities for students who want to work domestically but are also interested in opportunities abroad. In short, wishing to work abroad or within the US upon graduation, students who combine their area of concentration with the TNP stream, only widen their future career opportunities.
Faculty in Transnational Planning Stream
Nearly all DURP faculty are engaged in research with a focus on international and transnational planning issues. Examples are:
- Arnab Chakraborty: Developing locally-based theories and tools for urban planners in developing countries, especially in India; data development, modeling and measuring the impact of land use change on infrastructure demand and public services;
- Brian Deal: Urban growth and development modeling activities in rural Korea;
- Marc Doussard: Low-wage work, community organizing, economic development policy, inclusive innovation, impacts of the military build-up in Guam;
- Edward Feser: Comparative U.S.-European regional development policy;
- Stacy Harwood: Immigration and planning in California and the Midwest; community-based planning and design in Costa Rica;
- Bumsoo Lee: Comparison of travel behavior in US and international cities;
- Faranak Miraftab: Grassroots urban movements for housing and basic services in South Africa; immigration and transnational community development in Rustbelt US, Latin America, West and South Africa;
- Rob Olshansky: Post-disaster redevelopment in Japan, India, Indonesia and the US (New Orleans);
- Ken Salo: Environmental justice and environmental racism in South Africa and Illinois;
- Daniel Schneider: Community-based ecological management in Mexico and the US.
TNP potlucks are held once or twice each semester bringing interested faculty and students together to share a meal and a good discussion provoked by an invited speaker. The presenters are sometimes students returning from fieldwork research abroad or visiting scholars and practitioners who have important insights to share with students and faculty who have an interest in transnational and international development planning issues. These informal talks/presentations hosted through the TNP potluck offer a relaxed environment to foster debate and build a community of scholars with shared interests. The TNP potlucks are open to all students and faculty at DURP.
Join the TN planning listserv to keep track of happenings in the Department and on campus in this field. This listserv was created to communicate with students and faculty interested in the Transnational Planning stream in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning. List members post information about lectures, conferences, courses, internships and related matters and opportunities. To join, go to https://lists.illinois.edu/lists/subscribe/tnplanning/ and submit your email address.
Students in the Transnational Planning stream are strongly encouraged to complement their course work with practical experience in organizations that focus on transnational and international development work. Remunerated or volunteer work experience with organizations located in the US or abroad addressing development planning issues is invaluable both to students' education and to their career development and employment opportunities once they graduate from our program. Towards that goal students can register in UP 590 Internship to receive credit units for their practical experience and also apply for a newly instituted DURP International Travel Grant to receive partial support for their internship and research experience abroad. Students are encouraged to work with the Stream's coordinator to identify and seek internship placement at an organization that can provide them with applied work experience in the field.
Occasionally UIUC faculty and graduate students form a multi-disciplinary reading group on transnational issues. In the past, these reading groups focused on Transnational Urbanism and were funded by the Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities (IPRH). Currently, the Cities, Communities and Social Justice Group (CCSJ) bring together faculty and graduate students with interest in transnational and social justice issues in urban communities to collectively examine the complexity of urban development, urban life and citizenship in a transnational era. It calls for reconsidering how cultural, political and economic urban processes are shaped locally and trans-locally. For more information, contact faculty coordinators David Wilson, Ken Salo and Andrew Greenlee.


Chanel may have debuted its ‘Metiers d’Art’ collection in Dallas last night, but it was hardly a scuffed cow-boy boots and ten-gallon hat sort of occasion. In between the clothes,
K-Stew’s big announcement, and the drive-in style premier of a film by Mr Lagerfeld himself, some of the chicest people on the planet found a moment to show off their (stetson-free) takes on Texas style…in front of a fine piece of American automobile. Of course
Alexa Chung would nail cool-girl meets cow-girl. There’s something sort of Wild West Victoriana in her impeccable combination of a tweed check car coat, ruffled blouse and distressed black jeans—love it!
