Arsonists target Lithuania’s only LGBT rights group in ‘vicious homophobic attack’
The office of the Lithuanian Gay League (LGL) – the country’s only non-governmental organisation representing LGBT+ people – has reportedly been targeted in an arson attack.
The incident allegedly took place in Pylimo in the Old Town of Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital, at about 4am on Friday morning.
The front door and door blinds of the organisation’s office were set on fire, according to LGL.
LGL said that a passing taxi driver stopped to put the fire out.
The group described the incident as a “vicious homophobic attack,” adding: “LGL believe that the incident was motivated by hate towards the local LGBT community and organisation which represents their interests.”
“This incident clearly indicates that hate crimes on the ground of sexual orientation and gender identity remain an important issue in Lithuania,” said LGL’s executive director Vladimir Simonko in a statement released to PinkNews.
“It is disapointing [sic] to see that such horrific crimes still take place in 2018 in the heart of our beautiful capital Vilnius.
“We would like to kindly thank the taxi driver who took the initiative to extinguish the fire and saved our offices from more major damages. We hope that the true motives of the incident will be duly clarified.”
PinkNews has contacted Vilnius’ police department for comment.
Founded in 1993, the LGL works for the progression of LGBT+ rights for people in the country.
Lithuania has a generally poor record on LGBT+ rights.
Although homosexuality was decriminalised in 1993, civil partnerships and equal marriage remain illegal in the country, and there are widespread socially negative attitudes towards sexuality and gender.
Same-sex adoption is also effectively illegal in the couple as, generally, parents must be married in order to adopt a child.
Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation was made illegal in 2005.
It is also difficult to legally change gender in Lithuania, which is normally only permitted following a court ruling and after surgery.
In the early hours this morning, we found out there were attempts to burn the entrance to our office. The pre-trial investigation is underway to determine whether it had a homophobic bias motive or not. Together we stay strong and will continue to fight for equality, tolerance and human rights for all. / Šį rytą prie mūsų biuro patalpų buvo įvykdytas homofobinis išpuolis, kurio metu buvo suniokotas įėjimas tyčinio padegimo būdu. Tikimės, jog Lietuvos policijos pradėtas ikiteisminis tyrimas atskleis tikruosius šio nusikaltimo motyvus. #hatecrime #homophobia #lithuania #vilnius #lgl #lgbt #humanrights
However, a European Court of Human Rights decision in April 2017 has meant that two trans men in Lithuania were allowed by the country’s courts to legally change their gender prior to having surgery.
The country’s LGBT+ groups are calling on the government to scrap the requirement for trans people to have gender reassignment surgery before they can change their gender on official documents.
Lithuania’s government has also taken some steps to show support for LGBT+ people in the country.
In May 2017, the country’s parliament marked International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia by lighting up Vilnius’City Hall in rainbow colours and hosting an exhbition with LGBT+ artists.
The first gay pride parade in the country took place in Vilnius in 2010.

Abstract of Interview
Gary Karpen was born in New York City but grew up in Norwood, New Jersey. His older sister became an astrophysicist and his younger brother an MD/PhD who does both research and clinical work. His father joined the army at the age of 17 to fight in World War II, coming home severely wounded. Forgoing the GI Bill, Gary's father did not go to college but went into his father's construction business. When he was in his 50's Mr. Karpen sold his business, got an education degree, and became a teacher of high-school shop. Karpen's mother was a college graduate and eventually got a PhD in library science. Karpen's grandparents were Orthodox Jews, so his family was observant, though tending more toward Conservative Judaism, and being Jewish was very important in Karpen's youth. In junior high school Karpen had an excellent biology teacher who fired his interest in that subject. In high school Karpen also liked French and English, particularly enjoying reading classical science fiction. He says he procrastinated and did not work especially hard, but he was nevertheless assigned to the honors track. Because Brandeis was strong in pre-med and because Karpen loved biology, he decided to apply for early acceptance, successfully, as it turned out. There he discovered that the "tinkering" he and his father had done together over the years resolved into a love of solving puzzles, of figuring out how things worked or fit together, and he knew he did not want to practice medicine but to be a researcher. From Brandeis he went to the University of Washington to be a technician in Gerold Schubiger's lab. He spent three years in this position before crossing the bridge to the genetics department for graduate school, where he worked in Larry Sandler's and Charles Laird's labs, transforming ribosomal genes into flies. He also met and married Monica Medina, and they had their first child during these years. From Seattle the Karpens went to Washington, D.C., where Karpen had accepted a postdoc at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, working on centromeres in Allan Spradling's lab. Another child, a daughter, made her appearance during this time. After his postdoc, Karpen took a position at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California. There he established his own lab, and he teaches the occasional course. He continues quite happily to work on heterochromatin chromosome inheritance and centromere identity; to explore his Jewish heritage; to seek funding; to publish his work; to mentor the people in his lab; and to hang out with his children.

AFTER the attacks of Sept. 11, President Bush forcefully argued that it was every country's duty to fight international terrorism. He made the case that sponsoring terrorism or simply looking the other way when it happened were equivalent acts, and the United States would stand for neither. But holes have started appearing in that principle, courtesy of a single Venezuelan terrorist, released this week from a New Mexico prison on bail.
In early 2005, Luis Posada Carriles, a Venezuelan with a long history of violent attacks in Latin America, sneaked into the United States and was soon arrested. Mr. Posada had escaped from a Venezuelan prison while awaiting trial in the bombing of a Cuban airliner in 1976 that killed 73 people, including all 24 members of Cuba's youth fencing team and several Guyanese medical students. This was the deadliest attack on a civilian airliner in the Western Hemisphere in history - until 9/11.
Upon Mr. Posada's capture, the government of President Hugo Chávez demanded his extradition. But the Bush administration has refused to extradite Mr. Posada to Venezuela or Cuba, claiming that it fears he will be tortured in those countries. In fact, Washington's reluctance is more likely linked to Mr. Posada's history as a Central Intelligence Agency operative and a darling of extremist sectors of the powerful Cuban-American community in Florida (he tried to assassinate Fidel Castro with C-4 explosives placed in an auditorium packed with students in Panama in 2000). Twenty-two months have passed since Venezuela formally asked for his extradition, offering 2,000 pages of documentary evidence to substantiate its claim, yet the State Department has not even acknowledged receiving the request.
Nor has Mr. Posada been charged with the 1976 attack, even though declassified Central Intelligence Agency documents indicate that his role has long been accepted as fact. Instead, he faces charges of immigration fraud, a travesty that could be equaled only by charging Osama bin Laden with entering and leaving Pakistan without a visa. Finally, Mr. Posada was released on bail on Thursday, even though he is an obvious flight risk and a violent terrorist.
Of course, Mr. Posada's case isn't the first instance related to Venezuela in which the Bush administration has set aside its principles for political expediency. Five years ago last week, the Bush administration gleefully welcomed a coup that overthrew President Chávez, replacing him with a junta that suspended the Constitution, dismissed the National Assembly and dissolved the Supreme Court. Thankfully, the Venezuelan people ensured that their democratically elected president was returned to power two days later.
Just as the Bush administration's support for the Venezuelan junta undermined its pledge to uphold and promote democracy around the world, allowing Mr. Posada to avoid prosecution for a vicious attack he can credibly be accused of masterminding throws into doubt the sincerity of President Bush's war on terrorism. Mr. Posada is a terrorist, regardless of the cause he fought for or the allies he might have. The Bush administration's foot-dragging on his extradition and its failure to even classify him as a terrorist is unconscionable.
Last week, Venezuelans celebrated the return of democracy after the coup against President Chávez. But they continue to mourn the 73 people killed aboard that civilian airliner. If President Bush is serious about the principles he set out after 9/11, he need only look to Venezuela and correct the mistakes he can. The coup has passed, but the chance to extradite or prosecute Mr. Posada hasn't.

OAKLAND, CA, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — The APA reports only 5 percent of psychologists are Black or bi-racial. This means that 95 percent of mental health professionals need tools to bridge the cultural gap – that is where Family, You Alright? comes in. It is a timely resource for caregivers, professionals, teachers, and therapists. Meet James R. Harrison, LCSW creator of the interactive Family, You Alright? flashcards. James a mental wellness expert with a heart to heal people of African descent is interrupting the flow of despair by introducing a new form of expression for children, youth, and college aged students.
As a trained therapist James knows the importance of seeing diversity in this mental health space. According to the CDC, the rate of suicide rose 73 percent among Black youth over the past 30 years. These staggering statistics show the plight of African American young people who are adversely affected by “illness, poverty, and discrimination” reports the American Psychological Association but one community-minded, licensed clinical social worker is changing the narrative.
This high-quality game comes with 72 emotion flashcards to gauge a client’s feelings through a series of prompts. African American children respond to these emotion cards because they connect with faces just like them bearing hues from honey to the deepest mocha. The culturally relevant cards depict shades of people of African descent encouraging children and adults to express themselves in a safe space. The goal of the 30 prompts is to promote “curiosity, compassion, and empathy.”
This English and Kiswahili edition is great for families and therapists alike with 30 points of engagement helping you express anger, worry, fear, excitement, and joy all through the wonders of play. The dual objective is to expose American children to dialects spoken on the African continent. The cards, brought to the community by the Courageous Healing Collective are a needed resource in troubled times. Through structured prompted play users can make sense of their emotions in this turbulent climate and learn ways to express angst, anger, or fear with mental wellness in mind.
The interactive game can be found online at www.famyoualright.com.

Hello! All the characters here are so cute!
I'd say that my art style make's it hard not to have cute characters, though Dipsie here seems to be a fan favorite. Her son, Sage, is also adorable but I don't have any accurate pictures of him at the moment. Both of them are going to appear in Kanties pretty soon.
Tho some would say that Kanties herself is pretty adorable.. or maybe that's just my opinion.

Update for December 3: Due to bad weather, Arianespace again delayed this release by 24 hours. Takeoff is scheduled for Saturday, December 4. The exact time of the planned takeoff has not yet been announced.
Update for December 2: Arianespace is now targeting the Friday (December 3) launch of the Galileo satellite mission on a Russian-made Soyuz rocket. Takeoff is scheduled for December 3 at 7:23 pm EST (0023 GMT).
Arianespace plans to send two new European Galileo navigation satellites into space tonight (December 2) and will be able to watch it live online.
An Arianespace Soyuz rocket will put two navigation satellites into orbit at 7:27 p.m. EST (9:27 p.m. local time at the Guiana Space Center launch site in Kourou, French Guiana, or on Friday, December 3 at 0027 GMT). France-based Arianespace is expected to stream the launch live on YouTube, which you can watch here, once it’s available. Arianespace typically begins its launch webcasts about 20 minutes before takeoff.
The European Space Agency will also webcast the launch on its ESAWeb TV broadcast. The mission, if successful, will grow Europe’s global satellite navigation satellite to 28 members. The nearly six-year constellation serves 2.3 billion users worldwide, Arianespace said in the release documentation.

Arianespace will use a Soyuz rocket produced by the Progress Space Rocket Center, which is part of the Russian space agency Roscosmos. This is the fourteenth time this partnership has aimed to send a Galileo mission into space, Arianespace said.
The mission is being carried out for the European Space Agency (ESA), on behalf of the European Commission, to bring “strategic autonomy and sovereignty to the EU [European Union] citizens and their member states, “Arianespace said of the mission.
Galileo is similar to the United States global positioning system (GPS) and the Russian Glonass system, but aims to provide Europeans with a home-made alternative in case one of these other systems is not available to them.
The 26 Galileo satellites now in orbit were launched by both Soyuz rockets and the company’s own heavy-lift rocket, Ariane 5. Arianespace plans six more Galileo satellites in the coming years using Soyuz and a version of the next-generation Ariane 6 rocket. known as Ariane. 62. The first flight of the Ariane 6 rocket is now expected in 2022, delayed from 2020.
Tonight’s mission, known as Galileo FOC-M9, will be the 61st mission launched by Arianespace on behalf of ESA and will carry satellites 83 and 84 for the partnership. The delivered satellites will join the rest of the Galileo constellation in medium Earth orbit at 14,429 miles (23,222 kilometers), according to ESA documentation.

The author was able to make me see every place in this book. I had a clear picture of each room, the gardens, cliffs, sea side, etc. I could even hear the ocean, smell the mansion's dampness, or fireplaces or even the food. The characters were so real and believable. The mystery kept me in suspense till the end. And last but not least, the romance was so pure and beautiful. Thank you Julie ☺

Empire Resources (ASX: ERL) has boosted its average gold grade more than 95% to 6.03 grams per tonne, with occasional grades exceeding 10g/t gold, in its latest toll treatment campaign of ore from its flagship Penny’s Find gold operations in Western Australia’s goldfields.
The average gold grade achieved in the December quarter was 3.09g/t gold with Empire recovering 7,837oz to be sold into the market.
During the third campaign at the Lakewood Mill, 26,057 tonnes of ore was treated, with some gold grades tipping 10g/t. The campaign also led to an increase of gold picked up in the gravity circuit from 40% in previous campaigns to 56%.
According to Empire, this confirms earlier test work, which indicated the free gold would rise as the ore becomes fresher.
The company claims this “strong performance” was despite issues with inclement weather which had impacted the amount of ore milled.
Gold from the campaign will be sold at A$1,690 per ounce or more, with ongoing mining resulting in fresh ore stockpiles in preparation for the upcoming April treatment campaign.
During the December quarter last year, 84,367t of ore was fed through Lakewood and Burbanks mills, with grade gradually increasing with each campaign as mined ore was extracted from deeper sections of the open pit.
Underground potential at Penny’s Find
A feasibility study is underway at the project into progressing the open pit operation into an underground mine with a minimum 10-year life.
In December last year, Empire reported an underground resource for Penny’s Find of 248,000t grading 7.04g/t gold for 56,000oz of the precious metal.
The underground resource is directly beneath the open pit and has been identified to a 250m depth, with mineralisation remaining open.
Empire holds a 60% interest in Penny’s Find with Brimstone Resources owning the other 40%.
The market reacted positively to today’s news with the company’s share price soaring more than 6% to reach A$0.017 in late morning trade.

It’s not the feeling you get when you connect with someone and experience that complete euphoria that comes from the chemical reaction in your body around that person.
It’s not the tightness in your chest when you are away from that person and have the constant urge to talk to, text or see them.
It’s not the desire to climb inside someone’s mind and know everything about them, all their stories, all their hurt, and all their joy.
It’s not the heat of desire that leaves you burning for them every second of every day, and ties you into messy knots when those urges go unsatisfied.
It’s not the need to complete another person, become part of their world and entwine yourself in their life so tightly that you sometimes don’t see where they stop and you start.
It’s not the moments wasted when the chemicals dissipate, the urges wane, the knowledge is complete, the fire burns out and the relationship you share becomes dry, brittle and hollow.
It’s not making food, or cleaning the house, or changing the oil in the car, or buying clothes for the kids, or washing the dishes for the tenth night in a row.
It’s not arguing or making up or going to counseling or turning your life upside down to find the reason you’re unhappy.
Love isn’t a thing or feeling or action.
It’s not chance. It’s not fate. It’s not required. It’s not luck.
It’s just not.
It is the thing you control, during all of these moments that it’s not,
It is a decision you must make, every waking moment of your life.
It is a choice you have, in the good when you can’t imagine another way, and the bad when you don’t think you can hold on.
Love is simply a choice!

Headlights have been around since the dawn of the automobile, evolving from the early acetylene lamps already in use on horse-drawn carriages, to the adaptive laser units you would find on the latest high-end model.
The most common types of headlights in use today are halogen and LED. Manufacturers are slowly phasing out halogen headlights in favour of LEDs, but both have their benefits and in this article, we will delve into the pros and cons of both types to give you a better idea of which one is best for you.
What is a halogen headlight?
Halogen headlights have been around since the 1960s, they are a modified version of an incandescent light bulb (the ones we all used to have in our homes) and comprise of a tungsten filament enclosed in a glass bulb filled with halogen and a mix of other noble gases. Halogen lights emit a yellowish glow.
What are the pros and cons of a halogen headlight?
- Cheap to replace
- Less glaring yellowish light quality
- Not that bright
- High power usage
Halogen light bulbs are commonplace in the majority of entry-level cars around the world thanks to their low manufacturing and replacement costs.
Replacing a halogen light bulb is also a lot simpler than swapping out a faulty LED unit, however, you may be doing it more often as halogen bulbs have a shorter lifespan than LEDs. That said, the average cost of a halogen bulb is between £5 to £20, so having to replace them every few years is hardly going to break the bank.
Halogen bulbs aren’t very efficient, though, consuming around 80% more energy than an LED headlight. This can put an extra load on the car’s electrical system and can impact overall efficiency over time.
They also don’t shine as brightly as LEDs, as some of that energy usage gets converted into heat instead of illumination. The dimmer light quality and yellowish glow is less disturbing for other road users, though.
What is an LED headlight?
LED is an acronym for Light Emitting Diode, LED headlights produce light by passing electricity through tiny little semiconductors which emit photons. This electrical process is what illuminates the road ahead. LED headlights emit a very bright white light.
What are the pros and cons of an LED headlight?
- Lower power usage
- Very bright beam
- Offers advanced headlight control
- Long lifespan
- Can dazzle oncoming traffic
- Expensive to replace
The big benefit of LED headlights is their low power usage relative to the light they emit. They are approximately 80% more efficient than traditional halogen bulbs, this lowers the strain on the car’s electrical system which in turn can improve fuel economy. This is especially important in EVs, where every watt of power saved means more miles between charges.
LEDs are far more versatile than halogens, too, they can be configured in a variety of shapes and sizes, and their hi-tech nature allows for more nuanced adaptive headlight control. Some designs – often referred to as matrix technology – can even switch off individual LEDs to avoid blinding oncoming vehicles.
LED headlights have a far longer projected lifespan than halogens (up to 10 times as long), but when they do give out, they cost far more to replace. A recent study showed that a replacement LED headlight for a Suzuki Swift cost almost £700. A VW Polo’s LED unit was closer to £900.
These costs are partly down to the fact that most manufacturers use sealed headlight units, so you have to replace the entire headlight assembly instead of just the LED unit.
On a budget car that is 15-years old, a blown set of LED headlights may write-off the entire vehicle. However, prices always come down as new technology becomes more commonplace. And with most manufacturers already shifting over to LED headlights – over 60% of all new cars globally have LED lights as standard – this should be the case here as well.
Can you replace halogen bulbs with LED bulbs?
Not legally in the UK. There are many aftermarket suppliers offering LED headlight replacement kits for cars with halogen lights (a kit is required as power and cooling differences between the bulb types mean you can’t just swap bulbs), but unfortunately it is not legal to make this upgrade due to legislation that does not provide a certification process for aftermarket LED headlights. Some consider this unfair and have campaigned for the legislation to be updated, but all we can do is advise you of what the rules are.
The MoT testing manual was also updated in 2021, telling testers: “Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp [the car will fail its MoT as a result].”
Which is the better headlight – halogen or LED?
With auto manufacturers already well on the way to adopting LED headlights as standard fitment, the days of the halogen bulb are numbered.
If you are buying new, the choice is often already made for you, although upgrading to adaptive LED headlights or even laser lights is sometimes an option on luxury models. The stronger light quality, long lifespan and lower energy use of LED lights make them a great choice in general, and replacement costs should come down as market adoption rates increase.
Halogen lights still have their place in budget cars, as well as in the used car market. The low replacement costs are the biggest drawcard, ensuring that a blown bulb or damaged headlight unit don’t equate to an exorbitant replacement cost.

Boomkat Product Review:
Originally released in 1980, 'Fairy Tale' is haunted, electrified prog, with flute, muted beatbox clicks and more synth wobbles than the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Joel Vandroogenbroeck was a Belgian multi-instrumentalist who founded experimental rock band Brainticket and worked extensively with Swiss eccentric Bruno Spoerri. 'Fairy Tale' is a quirky, short composition that sounds as if it's improvised around a simple click track - echoing flute twists around acoustic guitar plucks sounding as if the pied piper of Hamelin is about to hypnotize the town's children.
Properly wacky progxotica that nudges itself into the Finders Keepers/Ghost Box axis without drifting into parody.

Welcome to a wealth-building journey that lasts a lifetime! In our latest blog, ‘How to Build Long-Term Wealth‘ on LXME, we unravel the strategies for sustained financial success. Explore practical insights and expert advice to kickstart your path to long-term wealth creation. Let’s embark on this journey together, shaping a prosperous future.
Presently, the tendency of younger people who have just embarked on their professional journey is to spend money and enjoy their lives, fulfilling their desires with their own money as they become financially independent.
However, this leads to exhaustion of your money and no buffer for your future life goals. With the increasing rate of inflation, just saving your money is not an option as with time your savings will drain out. Hence, an individual should look for options that can save your money as well as eventually grow your money into wealth, which will aid you in satisfying your goals.
Why is long-term investment important for women?
Every girl wants her life to be dreamy after she starts earning and becoming financially sane. Buying various amenities for herself is a distinct satisfaction, but to continue a moral standard of living finances is very important. Without adequate planning for finances, it is unfeasible. Wealth creation is creating an abundance of money in life so that she fulfils every goal she has ever dreamt of.
Every woman carries a bag of responsibilities her whole life such as weddings, day-to-day family responsibilities, children’s upbringing, education, etc. these responsibilities need finances in place in order to carry on life smoothly with no interruption.
Women are masters of budgeting and saving money for the future. However, in order to survive in this inflation-bearing world, just saving is not sufficient. You need to invest and grow your money. For ages, women depend on men for financial security but with time it’s changing as women are educating themselves and they have started to earn for themselves and their families.
However, many of them are still unaware of the fact of investing. As per LXME’s survey, 51% of women are either not investing their money at all or not aware of the investments in their name and 73% of women were saving less than 20% of their income. So, how to create wealth? Here it is!
How to create Long Term Wealth ?
Investing is growing your money and understanding how to increase wealth over a longer period of time. The paramount purpose of investing is generating returns which, in turn, will create wealth by increasing the value of the investment. Wealth Creation is not an easy task as it requires a sacrifice of some present money or asset you own, effort, patience, and time. Every woman should follow 3 wealth creation strategies given below.
- Start Investing Early: Investing early in life aids in saving more than compared to those who start investing in later stages of their life. Even small amounts can do miracles in the long term.
- Consistency: While investing, one should be patient and consistent to reap optimal benefits. Be a saver, not a spender. This will enable you to have a habit of saving in any circumstance which will lead to creating a significant amount of wealth.
- Diversify your portfolio: The saying “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” goes well here. As markets are volatile in nature, one should invest in different investment avenues to get stable returns on your portfolio.
Let’s have a look at an example of how you can create wealth in long term:
Radha and Aarti are two friends who embarked on their working life journey at the age of 22. Both earn Rs. 25,000 every month. Radha and Aarti both have different perspectives on their life. Radha believes in investing her money to fulfil her future goals, long term wealth creation as she is well informed about the advantages of early investing. So, Radha starts her investment journey right away as soon as she receives her first salary with LXME Long Term Plan for Rs. 5,000 per month at the rate of 14% till her retirement, i.e. till age 60.
On the other hand, Aarti believes in enjoying her life to the fullest and spending on different luxuries. She thinks her whole life is ahead to invest and doesn’t focus on how to increase wealth so she ends up spending all her salary up to the time she realised the importance of investing. She asks Radha for a good fund she can invest in her money and reap the benefit she is receiving. Radha suggests LXME’s Long term Plan and starts investing in the same from age 27 with Rs. 5,000 at the rate of 14% till her retirement i.e. till age 60. So let’s look at what corpus Radha and Aarti have accumulated at the age of 60.
Evidently, we can see the power of compounding in the longer term. Radha was able to accumulate ₹ 4.30 crore (₹ 8.54 crore – ₹ 4.24 crore) more than Aarti, as Radha just started 5 years earlier. To match the corpus of Radha, Aarti will have to invest Rs. 10,079 at the rate of 14% or will have to invest Rs. 5,000 at the rate of 16.66%. If you invest early, even small amounts of investments with consistency can make you millionaires.
Where can you invest your money in wealth creation?
Investment in different avenues varies from person to person according to the risk appetite, investment horizon, corpus targeted, frequency of investment, and goals. There are various investment avenues such as equity, debt, and gold.
To create wealth, one can devote a sizeable chunk to Equity as it acts as a value creator in the portfolio. Investing in direct equity can be quite risky as she should possess adequate knowledge about the same and have a high-risk appetite. If you do not possess the right knowledge about investing in direct stocks, then you might end up losing all your money.
So, it is better to invest in equity through Equity Mutual Funds as it offers flexibility as well as diversification. Mutual funds are being managed by professionals, who are better equipped and trained to manage money. They will diversify your money among various instruments and try to provide you with a capital gain or returns to the investor at a lower cost.
Investment in equity aids investors in receiving inflation-beating returns, which is why it is important to have equity exposure in your portfolio.
Along with this, investors can allocate some proportion of money towards Debt/Fixed Income Securities for the stability of the portfolio. Investors with a lower risk appetite can invest in Debt Mutual Funds. Debt funds are funds that are less volatile than equity funds.
These funds invest in debt instruments like commercial papers, government securities, treasury bills, corporate bonds, and other money market instruments. Investors with a lower risk capacity choose to invest in these types of funds.
Lastly, fixed income securities such as Post Office Savings Schemes, Public Provident Fund, gold, etc. can help you receive fixed income with no risk. Investors can also allocate 5-10% of their portfolio to gold as it hedges the portfolio against inflation and market volatility.
Generally, the risk appetite of younger investors is quite high as they are ready to take up risk and bear the same so they can allocate a higher proportion of their assets towards equity and the remaining part towards debt and fixed-income securities. As investors get older, their risk appetite falls, the equity proportion falls, and the debt and fixed income proportion increases. As her retirement risk appetite falls down, she looks to invest in low-risk instruments or risk-free instruments.
You can follow the Asset Allocation by Age Formula:
It says that 100-Age=Investment Allocation in Equities
To conclude, currently, both men and women should possess adequate financial plans to have a peaceful life. Life is full of uncertainty. No one can predict any mishap, so one should plan their finances beforehand. In long term investing diversification is the key to stable returns on your portfolio. You can have a mix of the above-mentioned investment avenues along with gold investment which can provide you diversification in your portfolio. Too risky and too low-risk portfolios don’t offer optimal returns on portfolios and can become a drawback for wealth creation that is why one should have a mix of both risky as well as low-risk investment avenues.

FAQs – Common Questions on Long Term Wealth Creation
How should we have a mix of different investment avenues in our portfolio? What should we consider before adding it to the portfolio?
The mix of investment avenues can be decided based on how much risk you are ready to take, if you have a high-risk appetite then equity proportion will be higher in your portfolio, for instance, 70%, debt or low-risk investment avenues will be lower i.e. 20% and fixed income investment avenues will be remaining part of your portfolio i.e. 10%.
In the same way, you can plan for a lower risk appetite as well as a moderate risk appetite individual. This is how you can reap optimal returns on your portfolio over a longer period of time.
What does a financial plan mean?
A financial plan is a broader concept as it consists of various components such as insurance planning in order to protect your life from any sudden mishap, investment planning in order to fulfil day-to-day goals, retirement planning for peaceful sunset years, tax planning for investing in tax-efficient investment avenues in order to save tax and lastly estate planning in order to bequeath the wealth of individual after death to legal heirs. However, an individual must possess a financial plan for a peaceful financial life.
Minimum how many years we should invest in wealth creation?
One should invest at least 8 to 10 years to reap benefits and create wealth.

Despite trying to keep his swashbuckling to a minimum, a threat to California's pending statehood causes the adventure-loving Alejandro de la Vega (Banderas) -- and his wife, Elena (Zeta-Jones) -- to take action.
Renowned adventurer Allan Quatermain leads a team of extraordinary figures with legendary powers to battle the technological terror of a madman known as "The Fantom." This "League" comprises seafarer/inventor Captain Nemo, vampiress Mina Harker, an invisible man named Rodney Skinner, American secret service agent Tom Sawyer, the ageless and invincible Dorian Gray, and the dangerous split personality of Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. Written by
A scene was cut from the film where Tom Sawyer explains that he and his friend, Agent Huck Finn, were tracking down the Fantom, and that the Fantom killed Huck. This is the reason why Sawyer is so intent on getting the Fantom. See more »
When Quatermain and Sawyer are practice shooting off the deck of the ship, the lack of wind or relative movement of surroundings implies the ship is motionless as they do so. However, when the camera cuts to one of the targets as it lands in the water, the ship is shown to be moving quickly. See more »
I'm new to Alan Moore and I am thoroughly impressed. I just returned from the film and heard about a number of bad reviews. The bad reviews are understandable, but keep in mind that it's coming from people who don't enjoy really good stories (OH they'll insist to the death that they do). I've even seen a split amongst the community of el geekos, but I find it seems to be an even split between the rationals and idealists (the idealists being the LXG/Alan Moore appreciators).
Although this film has all of the typical hollywood blockbuster trimmings, it is a diamond in the rough. Here's the ticket:
1. Read the reviews and have pity on their authors 2. Go to the movie with someone you like 3. Sit back and enjoy a supremely crafted story that could only be imagined by a great literary mind. 4. Don't get all tight about plausibility...
This is definitely going to be a classic. "Leagues" better than X-Men, but X-Men was made more for the candy eaters.. LXG OTOH is some good meat...

NEW YORK, 26 November 2013 – Tonight at Sotheby’s New York, one of only eleven surviving copies of the Bay Psalm Book – the first book printed in what is now the United States of America – set a new world auction record for any printed book when it sold for $14,165,000. The book was purchased by American businessman and philanthropist David Rubenstein, who plans to share it with the American public by loaning it to libraries across the country, before putting it on long-term loan at one of them.
The Bay Psalm Book’s selling price of $14.2 million is well in excess of the previous auction record for a printed book, established in December 2010 at Sotheby’s London when a copy of John James Audubon’s Birds of America sold for $11.5 million.
No example of the Bay Psalm Book has appeared at auction since January 1947, when another copy was sold at Sotheby’s for $151,000 – at the time, this price marked a world auction record for any printed book, and many multiples of what other icons of printing achieved in that period, including the Gutenberg Bible, Shakespeare’s First Folio and Audubon’s Birds of America.
The auction was the culmination of a six month tour in which the present example of the Bay Psalm Book was exhibited at institutions across the country, from Philadelphia to Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and more, before returning to New York for viewing prior to tonight’s auction.
David Redden, director of special projects and worldwide chairman of Sotheby’s Books Department, commented: ‘We are thrilled that this book, which is so important to our history and culture, is destined to be widely seen by Americans who can appreciate its singular significance. We are of course also thrilled to have achieved a new world auction record price for any printed book, which affirms that books remain a vital part of our culture.’
Nancy S Taylor, senior minister and CEO of Old South Church, said: ‘Old South Church has millions of reasons to be thankful this Thanksgiving. We have re-acquainted America with this amazing book and its extraordinary story. And, we have turned it into fuel for our ministries – from homelessness to housing, from youth violence prevention to elder care, from food insecurity to public education. We are delighted.’
The Congregationalist Puritans who emigrated to Massachusetts Bay in search of religious freedom quickly set about translating and producing a version of the Book of Psalms that was a closer paraphrase of the Hebrew original than the one they had carried from England.
The first edition of the resulting Bay Psalm Book was printed in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1640, in a quantity of 1,700. Only eleven copies are known to survive today, in collections including The Library of Congress, The New York Public Library, Yale University Library and Harvard College Library.


The capillary ceiling radiation cooling panel (C-CRCP) is a newly developed terminal device for air conditioning to provide indoor thermal comfort for occupants and to save energy. In this paper, numerical modelling of a room with a C-CRCP system was used to analyze radiant heat transfer under non-steadystate conditions. Experiments were conducted in an environmental chamber to verify simulation results. The chamber was equipped with a C-CRCP, which was covered with gypsumboard. The results showed that the inlet water temperature had a significant influence on ceiling surface temperature. The ceiling surface temperature and the steady-state time were increased with higher inlet water temperature. A vertical gradient in indoor air temperature was found. Ceiling surface temperature and indoor air temperature were increased with an increase in inlet air temperature. The energy supply rate of the radiant panel had a positive correlation with chilled water velocity. The amount of radiation was double the amount of convection, and the thickness of the gypsumboard had virtually no effect on the proportions of radiation and convection. The model was considered validated since the maximum relative errors between experimental data and simulation results of inlet water temperature and supply air conditions were within 10%.

I have often accompanied Schumann’s Frauenliebe und Leben as a pianist at Lieder evenings, and the dramaturgy of the cycle up to its abrupt and lethal ending fascinates me still. But why arrange the work for orchestra, now, 165 years after it was written? In “Frauenliebe“, in contrast to Schumann's “Myrten“ or “Liederkreis“, the piano part is not arranged in a particularly “pianistic“ way, but contains tonal colours and accents which in some ways might be better realised by an orchestra – in any case, I have always “heard“ the orchestra while performing the work.
The idea was to give Schumann's work the full tonal spectrum of the orchestra, paying strict attention to the original and without changing a note – with the question of how Schumann himself might have orchestrated the piece always at the front of my mind. Some adaptations had to be made, of course – the orchestra has no pedal, which meant that some notes (mostly in the bass) had to be extended, or longer held chords in the piano part had to be shortened to avoid distracting dissonances.
The orchestral version allows both concert organisers and performers the possibility of presenting Frauenliebe und Leben to a new audience as part of an orchestral concert.

Why do they keep trying to make roads all over Alaska? I thought Alaska was the “Last Frontier”.
I am strongly against the road to Umiat because it intersects the caribou migration route. Where I am from, caribou is eaten a lot, and I don’t want them to take another route because part of their route passes by Anaktuvuk Pass. People might say it won’t do anything to them, but are they monitoring what the caribou do?
