Waking up this morning to a phone filled with unanswered texts and emails it was clear something had happened.
The reason: a frank and brutally honest interview by Chelsea's French winger Florent Malouda.
For those of you who have not seen the comments, they have been reproduced in full below.
When asked about homophobia in football he said:
"Before people couldn't even speak about that like they were rejecting it and saying it is not existing.
"People who do it are wrong, hiding behind religion to explain their behaviour against gays, but you have to accept people as they are and once you understand that, you understand our differences are our strength."
To reiterate, this is THE Florent Malouda, one of the best players in the world.
The significance of a top player admitting the denigration of people because of their sexuality cannot be understated.
Credit must also be given to the press team at Chelsea who did not think "oh no we cannot possibly publish this" but actually allowed a player to speak his mind.
Could it be that football club's attitudes are becoming more aligned to the rest of society?
In the interview, which focused on Kick It Out's One Game, One Community week of action, the eloquent Malouda was also very frank about fighting racism on the terraces.
He stated: "You have to prove to others they are wrong and don't accept it. You have to face these people and even if it is a battle, if you have to struggle, you have to prove that there is only one race and that they are wrong to doubt you.
"You have to speak about it. You cannot act like it does not exist."
These are statements about equality which have not been heard before from such a high profile player.
Quite why Malouda felt the need to issue such strong statements is not known.
The recent protesting in France shows that our Gallic cousins do things a little differently when it comes to disagreements with the authorities.
Perhaps it was Malouda, who was brought up in South America, feels he wants to give something back to the beautiful game to which he owes so much.
Or maybe the winger has witnessed homophobic abuse first hand.
It might just be that he sees now - he's 30, in the best form of his life and captain of his adopted country - as the right time to speak his mind.
Whatever the reason perhaps the tide, at last, is turning.

#98 at time of writing.
Caught this at the cinema today. The board said sold out, but I queued up anyway and got lucky with a single seat. And no wonder it's sold out, the hype for it seems to be huge.
The first half sets up the main character as a tight-lipped stunt slash getaway driver (Ryan Gosling) with a habit of replacing conversation with smouldering silences. He falls for his pretty neighbour and her son, but then Daddy comes back from prison and brings unwanted criminal attention with him. Our hero, inevitably, gets caught up in the ensuing mess.
The halfway point - a straightforward heist - is so tense that my heart was beating in my throat.
But then it almost turns into a different film. Gosling's character turns into a superhuman avenger, dishing out grisly death all over the place. It risks going a little over the top, compromising the subtlety of the story. Thankfully, in the end, the story holds together.
So, does it deserve the hype? Probably. But I reckon I've seen better.

Maureen McCormick Of “The Brady Bunch” Talks About Romance, Drug Addiction And Trading Sex
Posted October 13, 2008on:
Who can forget “The Brady Bunch”? The American comedy show based on a large American family was telecast on the ABC network from 1969 to 1974 and was a huge success.
Almost 4 decades after the show was aired on American TV, Maureen McCormick who played Marcia Brady in the show has come up with her memoir that talks about how Marcia Brady’s on screen popularity landed her into Drug Addiction and suffering because of depression. Maureen McCormick played the character of Marcia Brady in The Brady Bunch, who was the mature, intelligent yet, at times, confused eldest daughter of the Brady family. Maureen, now 52, was just 14 when The Brady Bunch debuted on ABC network in 1969.
Despite playing the role of Miss Perfect on television, in real life, Maureen continuously struggled with a great deal of anxiety, insecurity and family problems. Once the show ended in 1974, Maureen adopted a vagabond lifestyle in Hollywood which got her into a number of undesirable habits including drug addiction through Cocaine and Quaaludes. She was never able to achieve success similar to her character in The Brady Bunch even though she did some TV shows and movie roles here and there. She developed a reputation of being unreliable because of her wrong habits and even missed an appointment with Steven Spielberg because of being high on drugs.
Maureen started becoming sober and started getting more control of herself when she married Michael Cummings in 1985 with whom she has a daughter named Natalie. Later, Maureen, who is also a singer, starred in music related reality shows like “Gone Country” and “Outsider’s Inn”.
In her Memoir or Autobiography called “Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice” which is due for release on Tuesday, the 14th of October, Maureen McCormick talks in detail about her romance with onscreen sibling Barry Williams, her dates with Steve Martin and Michael Jackson, parties at the Playboy Mansion and the home of Sammy Davis Jr, an unwanted pregnancy, incidents of suffering from drug addiction and even trading sex for drugs.

The star man has been linked with a move away from West Ham.
The Frenchman was one of the stars of last season, first enjoying a stellar first campaign with the Hammers and then starring at Euro 2016 as France made it to the final of the competition.
That saw him linked with a move away from the club in the summer transfer window, with several European giants all suggested as potential destinations.
West Ham United's Dimitri Payet applauds the fans at the end of the match
Those rumours have continued in recent months, despite him struggling to replicate his form from last year.
The Hammers would loathe losing their star man but he insists that he is not even considering his future at this moment in time.
"I haven't asked myself the question yet," Payet told French outlet L'Equipe Sport & Style.
"It's still not the right time. Of course, I have ambitions, but I want to do things in order. There are periods that are made for asking yourself questions, and I'll do it at that moment.”
West Ham United's Dimitri Payet
West Ham will now be hoping that Payet doesn’t consider his future until at least next summer.
He is the undoubted star at the London Stadium and losing him in the January transfer window would be disastrous for Slaven Bilic’s team.
They are currently 15th in the table and just four points from the relegation zone and will need the Frenchman if they are fare better in the second half of the campaign.

One of the first things I noticed after moving to Schenectady was the prevalence of smokers. It seemed that everywhere I went someone was smoking. Even my current neighbors smoke. In the Summer, the whiff of cigarettes comes in through my windows.
I especially noticed this because I moved from a place that restricted smoking almost everywhere (California). No smoking restrictions existed at bus stops, in front of businesses, in any commercial zone, and near any medical center. Parks were also restricted, but it seemed that only the tobacco smoking ban was actually enforced, but not other forms of smoking.
My initial impressions were confirmed when the results of the UMatter survey were released showing that more than 37% of Schenectady residents were current smokers. This compares with a national average of 18.1% according to the CDC. Once might think the high rates of smoking correlate with Schenectady’s relatively high rate of poverty, but the breakdown at the CDC suggests it may be more closely related to the education level of the community (9.1% smoking rate for a person with a college diploma vs. almost 42% for a person with a GED).
Even the very high tax rate on cigarettes in NY has not seemed to deter Schenectady residents from smoking.
So what can be done about the high rate of smoking? Many health professionals are working on this issue, and I don’t have much more to add. But one easy switch that can reduce the negative impact of smoking on others would be to promote the use of E-cigarettes, or vapes, instead. If my neighbors all used E-cigarettes instead of regular ones, I wouldn’t have to frequently inhale second-hand smoke, and we may be able to avoid one of these sticky situations.
Yet states and the Federal government are starting to restrict their sales. That is a shame.

Coach Freddie Roach was in an ebullient mood at Wednesday's Juan Manuel Marquez-Manny Pacquiao press conference at the sparkling Edison Ballroom off Times Square.
This was, of course, before the bad news emanated from Las Vegas that troubled Roach pupil Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was nabbed by the Nevada boxing board on a drug test which detected marijuana in his system when he fought and lost to middleweight king Sergio Martinez on Sept. 15.
I asked Roach, recently cut loose by Amir Khan I guess for not having cement transplanted into the British boxer's fragile chin, how plausible it is to say that Pacman can KO the masterful counterpuncher Marquez when they start Round 37 through a possible Round 48 come Dec. 8 in Las Vegas.
History tells us Pacquiao has not been a potent puncher since 2009, a year in which he blasted out Ricky Hatton in two rounds and stopped durable Miguel Cotto in 12.
In route-going bouts against Joshua Clottery, Antonio Margarito, Juan Ma and Timothy Bradley, Pacquiao's power seemed to be excruciatingly absent.
I was, I told Fly Fly Freddie, a doubter as to any outcome except JMM and MP battling for yet another 36 minute bout.
"Remember when I was paying a bounty, giving bonuses to sparring partners, if they could knock Manny down?" Roach said, smiling brightly. "Well, this camp I will pull a switch. I will offer Manny $1,000 out of my own pocket every time he knocks a sparmate on his ass. Maybe that will liven up our training."
In a more serious vein, Roach believes having the entire camp held at his Wild Card Gym in Hollywood and not beginning it in Baguio will be beneficial for Pacquiao.

Hi, I am currently looking at some helical data and would like to “straighten” it by rotating the helix “back” by its angle at the given distance to the origin.
My current approach was to do a rotational coordinate transformation along the x-axis, interpolate the data on a new grid and store a new “twisted” file. Since the interpolation introduces computational cost, another file & potential errors, I’d like to omit it.
Therefore my question: Can I define a volume rotation around e.g. the x-axis, where the rotational angle is dependent on variables such as the x coordinate and (ideally) the time step?
I have had a look at the transform filter, but to me it seems as if it can not produce the desired result, or I am not seeing it. Thanks for the help!

The people who work at this place, as far as I am concerned, need to sharpen their customer serice skills. I have never eaten in but have placed telephone orders numerous time. Each and everytime there is something wrong with my order. I don't know why I continue to give them my business. I have gotten to where I wont spend my money there; I only eat there when treated. I have purchased jerk dinner and don't recieve jerk sauce; I have gotten chicken that was dried out to the point it had to be thrown out; as well as things missing from order. When I call to make staff aware its never an apology just excuses. Never can we make it right. One time of many that the jerk sauce was missing I was told that it was so crowded that it just slipped someone's mind. Customer satisfaction doesnt seem to be a priorty.

We went to Uncle Joe's Thursday. Service was decent but they restaurant was lacking. They did not have any chicken wings which was what I wanted. The beans/rice were very gummy, the mac and cheese did not seem to be freshly made. I ordered a soda of the ones they had available. Supposed to be a can pop, served without the can and they did not have any straws. Things like this make me change my mind about going back and I shall pass the word. I did go to Joe's twice before (prior two years) and the food was much better. The tasting has definitely gone down.

VALUE THEM BOTH Amendment is key to reversing disturbing trends in abortion expansion
Today the so-called “Trust Women” abortion franchise rolled out its welcome mat to draw even more out-of-state residents to Kansas for abortion. The franchise issued a press release signaling its intentions to attract additional customers from surrounding states, specifically Texas.
This shameful marketing ploy from the abortion industry comes after the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) issued its preliminary 2020 annual abortion statistics. The report, released in May, revealed a shocking 9.1% overall increase in the number of abortions performed within our state’s borders, the largest jump in 29 years, which included a 16% increase in abortions on out-of-state residents. Within the details of the report, KDHE also reported a staggering 1,056% one-year increase in the number of abortions performed on Texans.
The dramatic rise in our state’s abortion numbers in 2020 comes after a 2019 Kansas Supreme Court decision which endangers 20 years of bipartisan legislative efforts to protect women and babies from an unlimited, unregulated abortion industry. Limits on the practice of brutal live dismemberment abortions have been stuck down, and many other limits are tied up in litigation. This new Kansas legal landscape ultimately led to abortion clinics having special protections to stay open during the height of COVID-19 stay at home orders.
“The abortion industry’s unabashed marketing to out-of-staters underscores the critical importance of passage of the VALUE THEM BOTH Amendment on August 2, 2022,” said Danielle Underwood, KFL Director of Communications.
“As Kansans, we must be clear that we do not consent to continuing on this path to becoming a regional destination for abortion. When an abortion industry franchise seeks to capitalize on what it clearly views as a growth opportunity for its abortion business, we know we have a problem. The people of Kansas must reclaim their right to regulate this industry through their elected representatives by voting ‘Yes’ on the VALUE THEM BOTH Amendment,” said Underwood.
The VALUE THEM BOTH Amendment was approved by the Kansas legislature in January of 2021 and will be considered by Kansas voters on August 2, 2022. The amendment is designed to keep existing pro-life laws in place and ensure Kansas is not a permanent destination for the most extreme abortion practices.

Under heavy criticism from Arab and majority Muslim countries for a decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the Trump administration says it is committed to the Middle East peace process. VOA diplomatic correspondent Cindy Saine looks at the broader contours of what administration officials describe as a new approach to peace and stability in the region.

Titans drop a painful game to Sherrard
MONMOUTH — "Obviously we are very disappointed, that is a game we should have won," said Monmouth-Roseville Titans boys basketball coach Chuck Grant.
The Titans lost to Sherrard 62-57 in a game the Titans led most of the way. They failed to capitalize on a big first quarter lead.
Early the game was all Titans. Led by junior guard Markus Hunter's best quarter of the season and the all-around play of senior forward Nick Leary, Monmouth Roseville looked unbeatable as they built a 24-13 lead. Hunter scored 11 of his 14 points in the quarter. He also had an assist and two rebounds leading the Titans attack.
Leary, still recovering from a knee injury, started the game out energetically, picking up two assists, several of his seven rebounds and drew a charge. One of four charges the Titans drew in the first 14 minutes of the game.
Hunter, Leary and Kaz Johnson turned in what arguably is the team's play of the year with 10 seconds to go in the quarter. Leary stepped in front of a pass for a steal at the defensive free-throw line. He hit Johnson with a quick pass. Johnson, in turn, threw the ball to a streaking Hunter who caught the ball, changed direction, and hit a "SportsCenter" highlight-like scoop shot all while in the air.
Then the wheels fell off for the Titans.
The second quarter produced two Bobby Downs free throws and a Chris Neal 3-pointer with 1:33 to go in the quarter for a total of five points. In the first quarter the Titans offense was flowing. In the second quarter it turned to sludge in the form of quick, forced shots and dribbling into traffic. However, the Titans still led at the half 29-28.
Monmouth-Roseville continued to milk a small lead through three quartes. But Sherrard finally took the lead for the first time of the night with exactly three minutes to play on an open shot by John McCormick.
The Titans then found themselves on the bad end of two questionable calls.
Down 58-55 with 17.6 seconds on the clock, a Sherrard in-bounds pass appeared to hit the back of the backboard, which should have given the Titans the ball with a chance to tie.
"The ball clearly hit the backboard, or it hit a bird," Grant said. "It changed trajectory."
After two Sherrard free throws, Titans guard Alex Bresnahan was grabbed from behind as he brought the ball up the floor in what appeared to be an intentional foul.
Still, after a quick Titans basket by Chris Neal, Monmouth-Roseville had another chance to tie the game after Sherrard's Spencer Brown missed the front end of a 1-and-1. The chance was lost as Sherrard's Daulton Hainline pulled down an offensive rebound, over two Titans with 4.1 seconds left.
Hunter's 14 led the Titans. Bobby Downs scored 13 and Chris Neal eight for the Titans. Tanner Schreck had three points and six assists.
"I wish I knew what the problem was," Grant said. "Several games we have started quick like that and let the games go by the wayside. This is a disappointing loss, we did what we had to to win for three and a half quarters. At some point we need to be seasoned enough to finish games like this."
Halftime featured a spectacular, neon baton routine by the Titans Twirlers, coached by Andrea Frieden.

The faience factory of Saint-Clément, located at 12 kms from Lunéville, was the second factory founded in 1758 by Jacques Chambrette. With this new factory he aimed at the higher segment of the market with prestigious objects. The factory received the label as Royal Supplier for Marie-Antoinette’s Trianon.
In 1922 Edouard Fenal, who already owned the earthenware factory in Badonviller, became the new owner of the Saint-Clément and Lunéville factories. He established the “Atelier d’Art de Lunéville” and hired artists such as Lachenal, Bussière and Majorelle. The sculptors Charles Lemanceau and Georges “Geo” Condé joined the ceramists Joseph and Pierre Mougin and created Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles earthenwares. Nowadays Saint-Clément is the only earthenware factory that is still active in France.
The factory is now part of the Sarreguemines group and employes 130 persons. Since 1968 in this factory Lunéville earthenware has been created under the name “K.G. Lunéville”.

In April 22 Issue
Our county primary election is drawing down to the final weeks and the candidates are out and about.
For many of us it is the time of the year our front door bell is tested and we are reminded whether or not it is still working.
We cannot keep from comparing how much difference a few years make. Previously, we rarely locked the doors and most often it was not unusual for someone to just open the door and verbally announce their arrival.
Now, when the door bell rings, the family members in the house look at each other and stare with a “who in the world could that be?”
Change is likewise true for the choosing of our county officials.
In the past we have voted for candidates on the basis of whether or not they needed the job, who they were related to or how big was the last load of gravel.
We can remember one candidate and his election story that occurred several years ago here in Russell County.
He tells that this one self-proclaimed precinct leader came to him and told him for a few hundred dollars he could deliver a win for him in that precinct. The candidate passed along the money and figured he had that precinct in the bag. Election day came and the election tally showed he had not received one vote in that precinct. Even the man who had taken his money did not vote for him.
But, back to this election. When the door bell rings and the candidates appear at your door, ask the hard questions. They are asking for your support, ask them what they can do for you and your county. How they plan on doing it, experience they may have and etc.
This county needs leadership that can direct our government into the best possible manner. We need experience, we need dedication and we need leaders who can and will place the needs of the county in the top priority position. And, not base their priority on what is best for their political career.
It is becoming somewhat obvious on the national scene that taxpayers are beginning to hold their elected officials accountable. We should take the same approach.
We should elect our officials on the basis of what they can do for this county.
When the candidates come by your house, ask what can they do for Russell County and what are their plans for the future.
Most candidates would appreciate the opportunity to discuss their ideas with you.
Not only is it your duty to vote, it is your duty to elect qualified officials.


The Yankees find themselves idle on Labor Day for the first time since 2005 and on only the second scheduled date in franchise history (1994 was victim to the strike, and rain postponed games in 1922, 1933, 1935). Considering how poorly this year’s offense has performed, the day off seems rather appropriate. Because of the team’s slumbering bats, the Yankees enter the home stretch with their worst record on September 1 since 1995. That year, the Bronx Bombers rallied to win the Wild Card. Unless the Yankees’ offense awakens suddenly, a similar turnaround doesn’t seem likely.
The Yankees’ season-long offensive malaise has been a surprise to many. “If only the players would hit to the back of their baseball cards” has become a common refrain from fans and pundits alike. A careful look at the numbers, however, tells a different story. With the exception of Brian McCann, every other Yankee hitter has at least performed close to a reasonable expectation. How did the mighty Bronx Bombers come to such a sorry state? Before answering that larger question, it makes sense to examine each component of the offense on an individual basis.
Yankees 2014 Offensive Performance vs. Career and Recent Rates
Note: Includes hitters with at least 100 plate appearances. Snapshots below are limited to hitters with at least 200 plate appearances.
Above is a summary and below are a series snapshots for each Yankees’ position player with at least 200 plate appearances this season. For each, 2014 OPS/OPS+ is accompanied by the player’s age as well as career and three-year production levels. This juxtaposition strikes at the heart of the “back of the baseball card” argument, and shifts the blame for the team’s poor offense higher up in the food chain. Continue Reading »

There’s a lot of wish fulfilment when it comes to the modding community. Have you ever wanted to see Star Wars and Star Trek fight it out in space? Best get to work modding Homeworld or some other space strategy game. Warhammer and Warhammer 40K have been some of the best universes to draw upon for these mods over the last few decades, and so it’s funny to see this turned on its head, as Total War: Warhammer is to include official modding support via Steam Workshop.
The game itself is out this month on May 24th, and modding support will be included at launch, with an emphasis on creating more Warhammer themed content. So, to aid fan efforts, Creative Assembly are putting out the Assembly Kit, which will include a database editor and BOB, so you can start creating your own campaigns. A battle editor and other functionality will be along later in the year.
On top of that, they’re aiming to seed the Steam Workshop with mods on day one, by creating things within the dev team, as well as giving early access to the game for well-known modders such as Magnar and Dresden – I’m assuming these names have more significance for bit Total War modding fans.
Finally, something we glossed over when it was announced last week. Sega have backed away from having the Chaos Warriors race as a pre-order exclusive, which was always a very controversial decision on their part. It’s now the case that if you buy the game during its first week of release, up until May 31st, you’ll get this race for free.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on March 26, 2023 that he plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, declaring that an important phase has begun in the renewed nuclear competition between the United States/North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Russia. Thus, the “New Cold War” that began with the United States’ withdrawal from the Missile Defense System Agreement in 2002 continues quietly and deeply every day, but in a much more dangerous dimension than the Cold War era and has become much more dangerous.
Putin’s decision demonstrates that an important phase has been reached in this dangerous process. In this sense, it is predicted that both states will begin to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region in the near future, following the expiration of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) in 1987, starting with Belarus; and it has now become inevitable for this process to continue.
In the post-Cold War period, Europe’s and hence the world’s security architecture has undergone a rapid change. In other words, the new security environment that began with the end of the Cold War did not last as long as expected. The close cooperation between the United States and Russia to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in the early days of the Cold War, regulations regarding tactical nuclear weapons that were not subject to a legal process until then, and ultimately the signing of treaties on strategic nuclear weapons, increased hope for a more peaceful world and even laid the groundwork for President Barack Obama’s vision of a nuclear-free world at the 2009 Prague Summit. However, this relative peace has also witnessed dangerous initiatives, although they have not attracted much attention.
As a matter of fact, after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the 1972 ABM Convention in 2002 and the subsequent emphasis on the National Missile Defense Project to protect U.S. territory from nuclear attacks formed the foundations of the dangerous process taking place in the current situation.
The United States, which has focused on the development of missile defense systems, has also made significant progress in hypersonic missile studies such as the “Global Sudden Strike”. On the other hand, by citing Iran’s threat to develop nuclear weapons and missiles, it has also established a comprehensive missile defense architecture within the framework of NATO in Europe.
The Moscow administration, which perceives these developments as a significant threat, alongside the expansion of NATO, has launched important projects regarding both missile defense systems and nuclear attack weapons systems. However, during this period, nuclear competition has been overshadowed by other issues. In particular, during periods when NATO-Russia relations were at their peak, both the public and officials in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium, which hosted the tactical nuclear weapons of the United States in Europe, demanded their withdrawal from their countries, considering these weapons as remnants of the Cold War. However, these developments have not received the attention they deserve in the international public opinion.
During the period in question, the role and importance of tactical nuclear weapons began to be questioned and it was stated that they had no military significance. While the US and Russia are deeply armed; The hope of a world without nuclear weapons has been discussed.
Despite all expectations, this atmosphere of peace did not last long. Russia, which has long perceived NATO’s expansion as a threat to its national security and has defined Ukraine and Georgia’s NATO membership as a “red line” annexed Crimea in 2013 following the events in Ukraine, which changed Europe’s security concerns. The 2014 NATO Wales Summit and subsequent decisions accelerated the alliance’s reshaping, and thus the nuclear competition began to come to the forefront.
Indeed, former US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the 1987 INF Treaty on October 20, 2018, citing Russia’s violations, and the treaty became null and void. Thus, there is no longer any obstacle to the deployment of intermediate-range nuclear weapons (with a range of 500-5500 km) by both countries, particularly in Europe and around the world.
Nearly 10 years after we talked about European states demanding the withdrawal of American tactical nuclear weapons from Europe, a completely different security architecture has emerged in Europe. The dangerous process that began with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has brought to light the nuclear danger, which has been silent and deeply advancing for far too long . Russia, which introduced its new strategic nuclear weapons to the world three years before the war, threatened to use nuclear weapons against Western states if they intervened in the Ukrainian conflict. It suspended the New Start Treaty, the last remaining treaty with the United States, at the beginning of 2023, eliminating the last obstacle to the nuclear arms race.
As can be understood, Russia’s decision to deploy tactical nuclear weapons, including Iskander missiles, to Belarus is a continuation of this process. These developments, which coincide with Finland’s NATO membership and the expansion of the NATO-Russia border, are reshaping Europe’s security architecture and leading to a more dangerous nuclear build up than the Cold War. The deployment of strategic non-nuclear weapons, or tactical nuclear weapons, to many points in Europe, which is symbolically important to many people, will not make Europe safer. In this process, it will not be surprising for NATO to deploy tactical nuclear weapons to Finland, and in response, Russia will be likely to deploy more weapon systems. Similar developments are also possible in the Asia-Pacific region. In the end, the danger is increasing every day and there is no significant effort to reduce it.

Over at Credit Slips, Alan White has a great post about what he loves about the microlending non-profit, Kiva. He then discusses microlending more generally. Kiva is "a
non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through
lending to alleviate poverty." "Leveraging the internet and a worldwide
network of microfinance institutions," Kiva says, it "lets individuals
little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world." Kiva says
that since it was founded in 2005:
- 853,436 people have made micro-loans through Kiva
- $380,763,100 has been lent
- with an astounding 98.98% repayment rate
Go here for more on how the loan system works, and go here or click on the embedded video below to see an animated short on the Kiva lending model.
0 thoughts on “Kiva and Microlending”
Kiva is undoubtedly the leader of Micro loan platforms through worldwide. However, Kiva had recently launched micro-lending in India which was very different than what they offer for other countries. Unfortunately, it offered a very poor consumer lending experience. Here are a few of the issues:
1. All loans are for 3 years (minimum) — even though loan term is only typically for 6-12 months
2. Loan capital is auto re-loaned to whomever the MFI wants to lend to during remainder of the period
3. No details provided on loan repayments until the end of 3 years
lender takes currency downside risk (but not upside!)
So, we hope that Kiva quickly fixes their product as there is huge demand for micro-lending in India.
Kiva is a great tool to help. I think I’ve now made over 360+ loans through them to help people around the world. And while I’m a huge supporter of them, the one point that was missed in the piece was the interest rates the local microlenders charge the people that get the loan.
Risk creates high interest rates but those that are participating as Kiva lenders should at least be aware that the rates charged the end user can be very steep. For those of us that help to fund Kiva loans, I don’t think any of us expect to receive any interest, and that’s totally fine with me.
The interest rates can get very steep and the irony is that while we speak out about high interest rate lending in the U.S. sometimes the microlenders overseas are the only source of funds for those that need access to capital to assist their small business.
If anyone wants to join the personal finance team I created at Kiva to help others, visit http://www.kiva.org/invitedto/personal_finance_bloggers/by/steve9997 Our little team has made 273 loans to help people.
I don’t share any of this information to discourage people from participating, just to fully inform you.

Albany County officials host oil train accident forum
Jun 10, 2015 12:02 am
Scott Waldman in Capitol New York reports Albany County executive Dan McCoy hosted a forum June 8 to address the dangers posed by the great number of oil trains now moving through New York. “Until you see this for real, you can't imagine what this horror is like,” said fire chief Tim Pellerin of Rangeley, Maine, who responded to an oil train fire in Lac-Megantic, Canada, that killed 47 people in 2013. Albany County recently asked the Cuomo administration to halt the oil trains, releasing a report on the potential environmental effects of a crude heating facility at the Port of Albany. But Albany mayor Kathy Sheehan withdrew from participating in the county's report, under pressure from Cuomo, Waldman reports. Instead, she released her own report, saying oil train traffic falls under the federal government's responsobility. A group of lawmakers are expected to propose a bill in Albany June 9 requiring rail companies increase the amount of insurance they hold in case of disasters. Read the full story in Capitol New York.


New research out of the Coda Research Consultancy in the UK estimates that by 2017, we’ll be downloading about 1.8 exabytes of video data per month!

To put that in perspective that’s a 3900% increase in the amount of video data currently used!
It’s almost hard to imagine what we could possibly use that much bandwidth on, but ReadWriteWeb speculates that with the advent of 4G Wireless technology, we could be looking at streaming HDTV, mobile cloud computing, video chat (as a standard) and much more.

Albert Pujols went 0-for-4 as the Angels were shut out by the Rays 5-0 on Tuesday. He’s gone hitless in four straight games, matching a career high.
Pujols had five previous streaks of going hitless in four games, the last taking place from Aug. 30-Sept. 3, 2010.
Pujols has also gone eight straight games without an RBI, tying the fourth-longest streak of his career. He went 11 games without an RBI from June 27-July 13, 2001 and from May 15-26, 2010.
This isn’t the first time in his career that Pujols has gotten off to a rocky start, but since he’s with a new team, everything is magnified. If he doesn’t launch his first homer soon — he’s gone 69 at-bats without one — the scrutiny will grow exponentially.

Maybe not tomorrow, but the sunset of our historically high estate tax exemptions is coming — and with a shifting political environment in Washington, it could be sooner than you think.
A window of opportunity opened in 2018 when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) doubled the lifetime gift, estate and generation-skipping tax exemptions to $11.18 million from $5.6 million. Adjusting for inflation, the current exemption this year is $11.7 million — the highest it has ever been.
While the change provides a major opportunity to pass on a substantial part of your wealth tax-free, there is a catch: It is a limited-time offer. This increase in the estate tax exemption is set to sunset at the end of 2025, meaning the exemption will likely drop back to what it was prior to 2018. Additionally, the shifting political environment in Washington could accelerate the rollback as the new president has proposed significant changes, increasing taxes for the wealthy.
While many states have eliminated their state estate taxes — only 17 states and the District of Columbia still have them — the estate planning landscape has changed significantly over the last decade. Additionally, the higher exemption presents a unique use-it-or-lose-it opportunity, and affluent families should avoid taking a set-it-and-forget-it approach. This is especially true for assets that may appreciate over time and helps ensure that the appreciation is not part of their taxable estate. But remember: This area of wealth planning can be very complex, so we recommend speaking with your financial advisor or tax professional prior to making any decisions.
Consider Gifting Away Assets to Reduce Estate Taxes While You Still Can
While the increased estate tax and gift tax exemption is set to expire, the Internal Revenue Service has decided there will be no clawback on lifetime gifts. This means that any gifts made under the current exemption will not be subject to estate taxes in the future, even if the exemption is reduced. Additionally, if you’ve already gifted away $5 million, consider gifting up to an additional $6 million to preserve the $11.7 million exemption for your children and future generations.
Keep in mind that when you gift assets, to make a gift complete for tax purposes, you relinquish ownership, control and use of those assets. If loss of ownership and control is a concern, married couples may want to consider a Spousal Lifetime Access Trust, or SLAT. A SLAT is an irrevocable trust created by one spouse for the benefit of the other. The grantor may indirectly benefit from this type of trust through their spouse’s lifetime access to the trust funds.
When funding irrevocable trusts, beware of gifting low cost-basis assets. If the trust holds assets that appreciate while in the trust for long periods of time, the beneficiaries could be saddled with substantial tax burdens. You can potentially avoid these issues by using substitution power provisions in the trust. With these power provisions, the grantor may substitute or swap out of the trust low cost-basis assets that have appreciated over time with assets of equal value, such as cash or high cost-basis assets. This allows the value to remain the same in both the grantor’s trust and estate. An additional benefit of using this technique is that those appreciated assets, now outside of the trust, are in the estate and will qualify for a step-up in basis at death. This substitution of assets can also save the grantor’s beneficiaries capital gains taxes, if applicable, making this a prudent step for income tax planning as well.
Take Advantage of Any Lower Valuations and Low Interest Rates
If you own securities or a business that has low valuations, now may be an opportune time to consider gifting or transferring assets out of your estate when interest rates and asset values are low.
Lower valuations allow you to transfer a greater portion of your assets out of your estate using the annual gift tax exclusion or the lifetime exemption, thus reducing your taxable estate. The hope is that those assets will grow back to their original value and any appreciation will be removed from the taxable estate.
In addition to low valuations, interest rates are at historical lows. Low interest rate environments may be particularly advantageous for different products, such as intra-family loans, charitable lead trusts and grantor-retained annuity trusts (commonly known as GRATs).
Consider Acting Now to Avoid the Last-Minute Rush
Additionally, another reason to get started now is that wealth planning using sophisticated techniques takes time. If you have more time to carefully plan today, you’re less likely to run into hurdles and challenges that might come up if you wait and end up rushing through the process. When estate tax laws change trusts and estates, attorneys often get backlogged with cases, causing delays. Creating a thoughtful estate plan now may also help prevent planning mistakes, including triggering the reciprocal trust doctrine or the step transaction doctrine.
In addition to estate planning, affluent families should also focus on asset protection and distribution preparation, which complement tax planning. Asset protection and distribution planning allow you to protect your assets now and for future generations, giving you control of your money long after you have passed your legacy on to your family.
Which is right for you? Deciding among charitable vehicles can be difficult. That’s why it’s best to consult your Citi Personal Wealth Management Wealth Advisor or a tax professional who can help you plan when to give, what to give and how to give to the causes that mean the most to you and your family. Your Wealth Advisor can confer with Citi Personal Wealth Management specialists, including estate and insurance specialists, for additional guidance on charitable planning and related advanced planning topics.


Net neutrality is the concept that all internet traffic should be treated equally when it's delivered to you on whichever device you want to use.
To demonstrate why this matters, we shall use an analogy.
G. This car is a website on the Information Super Highway.
All these cars should travel at the same speed to get to you.
Some cars are bigger than others, like Netflix is a monster truck of video, but.
internet service provider giants like Verizilla.
Wants to set up his toll booth to charge websites to travel to you faster.
But I need to be fast.
Monster truck Netflix has the money to pay the toll to make sure its video gets to you faster with less buffer.
Some of these cars don't feel as fair to have another website cut ahead with an express lane.
That's not fair.
And if Netflix trucks have to pay a fee to go faster, they may charge you more.
But in comes the FCC, the American agency that oversees telecom companies and big cable, and hasn't done much regulating on internet providers.
But the FCC could grow its powers and require tighter regulations on internet providers and even demolish the toll booth.
And the Verizilla will fight back with their fiery lawyer threats because they don't want the FCC policies to choke off innovation [NOISE].
That's basically net neutrality.

Butler County will have a representative in the 2018 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Jackson Carman, a junior offensive tackle for Fairfield High School’s football team and one of the nation’s top recruits in the 2018 class, has accepted an invitation to play on Jan. 6, 2018, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
“It’s a huge deal,” Fairfield coach Jason Krause said Wednesday. “It’s a great opportunity for our program and a great opportunity for Jack Carman. There’s a lot of good things that come with your kids being exposed to those kind of things.”
Krause said Carman made it official Tuesday.
“A few months ago, I got a call from a couple guys from the U.S. Army All-American game,” Krause said. “They were offering Jack the opportunity to play in the game. I think he’s the first player in Ohio offered that opportunity for the 2018 game.
“Since that time, they’ve been kind of recruiting and calling probably every other week, just kind of wanting to know Jack’s interests and Jack’s thoughts. Three guys came in (Tuesday) and spent the day here and watched us practice and talked to Jack a little bit. They took his family to dinner, and Jack committed to play in the game.”

People who commit their lives to going green are just better people. They’re more moral, more honest. At least, they keep telling us that, and apparently many students believe it, say University of Toronto psychologists:
They initially quizzed the students on their impressions of people who buy eco-friendly products, and for the most part, they considered such consumers to be more “more cooperative, altruistic and ethical” than ordinary consumers…
Then the researchers took it an extra step: They ran a test to see who would be more likely to cheat and steal: Greens? Or conventional shoppers?
They divided the greens and conventional shoppers, and then gave the students a test that tempted them to steal money. The researchers found:
The green consumers were more likely to cheat than the conventional purchasers, and they stole more money when asked to withdraw their winnings from envelopes on their desks.
This concept of moral license has been demonstrated before, writes Wray Herbert in his blog for the Association for Psychological Science.
(W)hen they have reason to feel a little superior, that positive self image triggers a sense of moral license. That is, the righteous feel they have some latitude to stray a bit in order to compensate. It’s like working in a soup kitchen gives you the right to cheat on your taxes later in the week.
Maybe that’s why sanctimonious stewards of the environment like Al Gore are comfortable lecturing the rest of us while living large in mega-mansions.
Beware of those who select an alternative moral standard (global warming, foreign aid, animal rights, veganism, yoga, etc.) that gives them self-esteem and respect from others. I think real morality is the old morality, where people had to restrain themselves in their own personal lives. E.g. – chastity, frugality and sobriety.
Today it seems to be popular to do anything you want with alcohol, consumerism, and sex, as long as you take on some fashionable cause that doesn’t involve you having to give up the pursuit of pleasure. But the real measure of a man is the moral law, which does not change. It’s moral values like chastity, frugality and sobriety that require you to not hurt those around you.
There are a lot of Hollywood actors and famous/rich people who are apparently terribly concerned (in public) about things like global warming and animal rights. But in private, they act in the most selfish ways destroying the lives of those around them. Being associated with glamorous causes makes them happy, just like cheating on their spouses makes them happy.

Nanospheres with a smectic hydrophobic core and an amorphous PEG hydrophilic shell: structural changes and implications for drug delivery†
The structure of nanospheres with a crystalline core and an amorphous diffuse shell was investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), small-, medium-, and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS, MAXS and WAXS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Nanospheres, 28 to 35 nm in diameter, were prepared from a triblock copolymer with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrophilic end-blocks and oligomers of alternating desaminotyrosyl-tyrosine octyl ester (DTO) and suberic acid (SA) as the central hydrophobic block. In the lyophilized nanospheres, the diffraction patterns show that the PEG shell is ∼10 nm in thickness and crystalline, and the hydrophobic core is ∼10 nm in diameter with a smectic liquid crystalline texture. In aqueous dispersions, the hydrated PEG forms an amorphous shell, but the crystalline phase in the core persists at concentrations down to 1 mg ml−1 as evidenced by the sharp MAXS diffraction peak at a d-spacing of 24.4 Å and a melting endotherm at 40 °C. As the dispersion is diluted (<1 mg ml−1), the core becomes less ordered, and its diameter decreases by 50% even though the overall size of the nanosphere remains essentially unchanged. It is likely that below a critical concentration, intermixing of hydrophobic segments with the PEG segments reduces the size and the crystallinity of the core. At these concentrations, the PEG corona forms a eutectic with water. The mechanisms by which the concentration of the dispersion influences the structure of the nanospheres, and consequently their drug-release characteristics, are discussed.

04 Nov Away from future matchmaking to all or any all of our effortless conclusion, which friendship is about to connect with you and her or him
Finally, it usually is advisable that you mention how you feel and you will view in place of staying him or her bottled upwards. Though it certainly is not a good idea to bombard your ex lover with hateful messages and keying the car, as often tempting as that music, this is not the right choice since it is attending elevates nowhere.
For those who struggle to discuss it with some body, you could potentially reveal it within the a paper or continue a good diary.
Look into the mirror.
Whenever we are located in a relationship, we representative many all of our really worth compared to that of our lover as well as the relationship. I figure our selves thus completely around them we start losing vision away from ourselves, a couple of times neglecting that loving yourself is a whole lot more essential than simply loving others.
Once a relationship stops, you earn the new liberty to invest all date targeting yourself, centering on maximizing health, mentality, enjoy, taking nearer to your aims. You begin redefining oneself, searching for returning to things never ever have got to manage.
Once you run your self, to your losing in love with on your own after the stop from a good break up, you’re providing tranquility into the mind and also improving your rational stability and additionally increasing your mind-regard and depend on.
Detoxification yourself from their store.
A reason as to the reasons anyone struggle to progress regarding some one is they will still be surrounded by little physical reminders of its ex boyfriend-mate. The help of its ideal music still on playlists or maybe even to try out regarding the audio system, through its clothing nevertheless on the cabinet, the gift suggestions nonetheless meticulously stored in the bedroom, we find it hard to maneuver on the whenever all lightweight thing as much as reminds you ones.
The trouble which have remaining almost all their physical thoughts around us all are you to definitely no matter if you want to move on from them, we only need one search into any of those stuff to come back to the amount of time which now you contemplate as one of one’s happy weeks that has gone by. That which we do is closing our selves of acquiring the done place to move towards the from their website.
It would be impossible to finish that which you, but when you remove the images, disposable the gowns, remove the music from your playlist, even dump their favorite dining from your own ice box, replacing all of their presented pictures and all one other smaller things, you’re destined to sense over independence and you can save. Doing this would not just cause you to feel alleviated however it could make you feel you to definitely sure, sure it can be done, you can get from this difficult time and you also siti usa incontri travestiti don’t need these to get in yourself.
Burn off most of the links.
It is ridiculous just how many somebody think that following the stop out of a lengthy matchmaking it is not wrong so you can be family unit members together. Once we is incapable of proceed from their website, we realize that the just person who normally learn our very own disease ‘s the individual checking out the exact same situation, the ex-mate. And as a result, we frequently select our long ago to them, otherwise given that a partner, maybe as the a friend.
This feels as though pushing you to ultimately inhabit denial. The relationship concluded as people was not said to be inside your lifetime, as a partner if not due to the fact a buddy. As soon as we are taking her or him back to our life, we have to remember that no matter what, a couple have been in love for some time, you certainly will Never ever return to only being family relations.

Tule Elk, Coyote Ridge
3 Feb 09
Morning haze shrouds southern portion of Santa Clara Valley.
|Clear skies above Coyote Ridge with
spring wildflowers to brighten the view.
|Tule Elk pause while awaiting 2-3 stragglers to rejoin the herd.
|Lagging behind while grazing, a single elk cow
finds herself separated from the main herd.
|Together the herd set off at a lope across
the ridgetop. Cattle wondered what's the fuss?
|Then joined the galloping elk for a spring frolic.
|Panting in their winter coats after exertion on so warm a day.
|Tule Elk with Morgan Hill in background.
|Outta here! Herd lopes downhill towards
rangeland north of Anderson Reservoir.
|Bright patches of lichen on outcrops of serpentine on Coyote Ridge.

The Annual Bishop Zgon Memorial Lecture will be given at St. Nersess Armenian Seminary in New Rochelle, NY on Wednesday evening, October 20, 2004 at 7:00 PM. Dr. Abraham Terian, Professor of Armenian Theology and Patristics, will discuss A Forgotten Father of the Golden Age: St. Hovhan Mandakuni.
A Church Father from Armenia's Golden Age
Many are familiar with Sts. Sahag and Mesrob, who created the Armenian alphabet and, together with their disciples, translated the Bible into Armenian in the early fifth century. Yet few are particularly knowledgeable about other Armenian authors who were active in those early years of literary development. The great Armenian churchman, Catholicos, scholar and holy translator St. Hovhan Mandakuni is a wonderful reflection of that "Golden Age" of fifth-century Armenian scholarship.
Mandakuni's manifold writings include biblical commentaries, including one on St. Paul's Third Letter to the Corninthians. He enriched the liturgical books of the Armenian Church, composing prayers, hymns, and daily and sacramental services. The Armenian saint was also responsible for translating a great body of ancient patristic and canonical literature into Armenian. The development of an Armenian literary "style" and its cultural influence can readily be attributed to these early interpreted and translated contributions.
Professor Abraham Terian, who also serves as Academic Dean of St. Nersess, will draw on his extensive research, writings and published works in presenting the literary and theological contributions of this illustrious figure of the Armenian Church.
Lecture in Memory of Bishop Zgon Der-Hagopian
"I'm pleased to be honored by the essence of Bishop Zgon's vision and at the same time to be able to share the wonderful legacy of Catholicos Hovnan Mandakuni," Prof. Terian said. "While separated by sixteen centuries, their contributions to the Armenian Church are abundant!"
This series of annual lectures is dedicated to the memory of Bishop Zgon Der-Hagopian, a devout and learned servant of the Armenian Church, and is made possible by a fund established in his name.
At the threshold of the 1600th Anniversary of the sacred work of our Holy Translators, St. Nersess Armenian Seminary invites you to explore the richness of the distinctive Christian witness of the Armenian people in the person and writings of St. Hovhan Mandakuni.
The lecture is free and open to the public. A reception will follow the lecture.

Southern California’s Coachella music festival announced its 2023 lineup on Tuesday, and it will feature entirely nonwhite headliners for the first time in the festival’s history.
The largest music festival in North America confirmed that Puerto Rican hit rapper Bad Bunny, R&B superstar Frank Ocean, and K-pop girl group BLACKPINK will headline the festival, which is scheduled to take place over two weekends in April.
This year’s lineup will mark the 22nd iteration of the festival, which started in 1999. The festival was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19, and experienced unexpected shakeups in 2022, after then-headliner Kanye Westof the lineup.
BLACKPINK and Bad Bunny previously headlined the festival in 2019, while Ocean, who has not released an album since 2016’s “Blonde,” has not performed at Coachella since 2012. Ocean was originally slated to headline Coachella in 2020 before it was canceled.
Additionally, BLACKPINK are the first K-pop group to headline Coachella, and Bad Bunny is the first Latin American artist, and first Spanish-language musician to headline, according to Pitchfork.
The festival will take place in Coachella Valley in Indio, California, over the course of two weekends: April 14-16 and April 21-23.
Coachella’s Twitter announcement noted that “very limited Weekend 1 passes remain” for the festival, and “for your best chance at passes, look to Weekend 2.” The presale begins on Friday, Jan. 13, at 11 a.m. Pacific time.

The Apprentice 2017 is almost here and a contestant from Kent is about to step into the boardroom.
Viewers will be able to watch Lord Alan Sugar, Claude Littner and Karren Brady meet the 32-year-old Chatham FC player Danny Grant for the first time on Wednesday, October 4, when the first episode airs
Danny Grant signed for the club this season and will appear on the BBC One show when it returns for its 13th installment.
But who exactly is Danny Grant and what are his Kentish links?
Danny Grant is a 32-year-old business owner from Medway.
The father-of-one who went to Rochester Math school signed with his hometown club in September and said he was "looking forward to the rest of the season".
Despite running an online cosmetic business, Danny admits to being disorganised and frequently leaves things to the last minute.
He believes his best quality is his loyalty, but warns he’s not "a doormat" and his trust shouldn’t be taken for granted.
And in what might not come as a surprise confession to viewers of previous shows who are aware of the feisty and opinionated contestants, he admits he can sometimes rub people up the wrong way.
Danny prides himself on being straightforward and honest, but can sometimes irritate people "because the truth is hard to hear".
He says: “I don’t get on with people with a stick up their arse”.
But can he can turn Lord Sugar's £250,000 in to millions and win the BBC series? Only time will tell...
What is The Apprentice and when is on BBC One?
Hit BBC reality show The Apprentice is about to enter its thirteenth series.
Each year the programme aims to find a new apprentice for billionaire business tycoon Lord Alan Sugar, with the winner bagging a cool £250,000 investment in their business idea.
Over the course of the programme , the Amstrad founder sets some of the toughest business tasks for the competitors, who desperately squabble and fight to make sure Lord Sugar notices their so-called business acumen.
Could Danny Grant win The Apprentice 2017?
0+ VOTES SO FAR
However, every year viewers are often left in hysterics due to the incompetence of those vying for the top prize.
The show began in 2005 and has a US equivalent that kicked off in 2004, with the now President of the United States Donald Trump in Lord Sugar's role.
After returning on Wednesday, October 4, The Apprentice will air every Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One for one hour.
