Cast iron chicken thighs are so incredibly crispy, juicy and tender, and they cook up in only 20 minutes! This roasted chicken skillet recipe will become one of your favorites!
This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. See my disclosure policy here.
This is another of our super easy skillet chicken recipes that you can make in less than 30 minutes. When you want a delicious dinner that you can cook up quickly, that’s the time to pull out your cast iron pan!
Reasons to Make Cast Iron Chicken Thighs
- Quick 20-minute meal.
Chicken thighs are a great option for a quick and easy dinner. They are tasty and flavorful and cook up quickly in a cast iron skillet.
- Easy clean up.
Do you know that if it’s seasoned properly, cast iron cookware is actually more non-stick than Teflon?!
- Simple but flavorful seasonings.
The chicken thighs are seasoned with a simple blend of spices, then cooked in a hot skillet until they are juicy and golden brown, and then roasted in a hot oven until the skin is crispy.
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
For this recipe, you can also use boneless skinless chicken thighs, but I prefer the skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs as they have more flavor and stay juicier during cooking.
This recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight or any time you need a quick and easy dinner. The chicken thighs can also be cooked in advance and then reheated.
Love easy chicken recipes? Try our Pan Seared Chicken Thighs, Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs and Veggies, Oven Baked Marinated Chicken Tenders, and Nashville Chicken Tenders.
- Chicken – We use bone-in chicken thighs, and we leave the skin on. If you prefer boneless skinless chicken thighs, you can use them, but you won’t be able to sear them as well.
Also, boneless meat doesn’t take as long to cook, so you will need to reduce the cooking time accordingly.
- Seasonings – I used garlic salt and black pepper for this recipe. However, you can also try using different spices, such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, or a blend of herbs.
Tips For Perfect Skillet Chicken Thighs
- Don’t use a non-stick pan.
If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, use any other type of heavy-duty, oven-proof pan. The high heat you need for searing chicken can damage non-stick cookware.
I recommend using a heavy stainless steel pan like the one below if you do not have a cast iron one.
- Be sure the cast iron skillet is very hot!
The key to preventing chicken from sticking in a cast iron skillet is to ensure that the skillet and the oil are both hot before adding the chicken.
Add the oil to the pan before you preheat it so it can heat up and coat the bottom of the pan.
- Don’t move the chicken thighs around.
After adding the thighs to the pan, leave them alone until it’s time to turn them over. As soon as the skin is properly seared, it will release itself from the skillet.
- Cook in batches if your pan is small.
Avoid overcrowding the pan; if the pieces are too close together, they will steam rather than sear. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches.
- Finish cooking skillet chicken thighs in the oven.
Technically, cast iron chicken thighs can be cooked from start to finish in the pan on your stovetop. However, it takes a lot longer to cook bone-in chicken to 165°F when you don’t have heat circulating around the pieces.
This is why we finish roasting them in the hot oven! It just needs 10 to 15 minutes to finish cooking through, and even less time if you’re making boneless chicken thighs.
Test the internal temperature of the center of the thickest part of the chicken thighs with an instant-read thermometer. If it is 165ºF, they are done.
- Add some heat with a pinch of cayenne pepper, or keep it mild with just salt and pepper.
- For a more flavorful dish, try marinating the chicken with our balsamic marinade.
What to serve with Cast Iron Chicken Thighs
Wondering what to serve with these skillet chicken thighs? How about some mashed potatoes, green beans, or salad?
Want more ideas for sides to serve with chicken? We have plenty!
For Skillet Chicken Recipes, Renae Recommends
Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through before serving.
You could also freeze the cooked chicken thighs for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and then reheat before serving.
To reheat, cook in a 350ºF oven until warmed through. You can also reheat them in the microwave, but cover the dish with a damp paper towel to prevent the chicken from drying out.
If you are reheating frozen chicken, thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Cast Iron Chicken Thighs FAQ
There is no definitive answer to this question, as different recipes may require different cooking methods.
However, in general, it is best to avoid covering the pan when frying chicken, as this can cause the chicken to steam rather than fry. If you want to prevent splatters, you can use a splatter screen or cover your pan with a lid that has a vent to allow steam to escape.
If your chicken thighs are tough, it is likely because they were overcooked. Cast iron roasted chicken thighs should be cooked until they reach an internal temperature of 165ºF. Any higher and the chicken will begin to dry out and become tough.
Cast Iron Chicken Thighs
- cast iron skillet 11-12"
- 2 ½ pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on (about 6-8 thighs)
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Heat oven to 425ºF.
- Dry the chicken thighs by patting dry with paper towel.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic salt and pepper. Sprinkle on both sides of chicken.
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil on cast iron skillet and preheat over medium-high heat until hot, oil should be shimmering but not smoking.
- Place chicken thighs into the pan, skin side down. Do not cover with a lid, instead use a splatter screen to contain the oil. Cook without moving them at all for 5-7 minutes to give the chicken skin the perfect crispy sear.
- Once the chicken skins are deep golden and crispy, use long tongs to turn flip the chicken pieces over and do the same to the other side.
- Transfer the skillet with the chicken to the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes until cooked through. Test the internal temperature of the center of the chicken thighs (avoiding the bone) with an instant read meat thermometer and if it is 165ºF they are done.

Ecological ranking of Phanerozoic biodiversity crises: The Serpukhovian (Early Carboniferous) crisis had a greater ecological impact than the end-Ordovician. Geology vol. 20(2), p.147-150.

Abstract: We propose a new ecological ranking of the major Phanerozoic biodiversity crises in which the Serpukhovian biodiversity crisis is ranked fifth in ecological impact, lesser than the Late Devonian but greater than the end-Ordovician, and the end-Ordovician mass extinction is ranked sixth. It is interesting that both the end-Ordovician mass extinction and the Serpukhovian biodiversity crisis were triggered by glaciations. Other than that common trigger, the two events were very different. Glaciation in the Ordovician triggered an enormous jump in the extinction rate of marine organisms and was taxonomically very severe, yet the ecological impact of those extinctions was minimal. Glaciation in the Serpukhovian triggered a precipitous drop in the speciation rate but only moderate diversity losses, yet the ecological impact of those diversity losses and ecosystem restructuring was an ecological level of magnitude larger than that seen in the end-Ordovician mass extinction.

Multiproxy record of abrupt sea surface temperature cooling across the Eocene-Oligocene transition in the Gulf of Mexico. Geology, vol. 40, p. 159-162.

Abstract: The Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT; ca. 33–34 Ma) was a time of pronounced climatic change, marked by the establishment of continental-scale Antarctic ice sheets. The timing and extent of temperature change associated with the EOT is controversial. Here we present multiproxy EOT climate records (∼15–34 k.y. resolution) from St. Stephens Quarry, Alabama, USA, derived from foraminiferal Mg/Ca, δ18O, and TEX86. We constrain sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) in the latest Eocene and early Oligocene and address the issue of climatic cooling during the EOT. Paleotemperatures derived from planktic foraminifera Mg/Ca and TEX86 are remarkably consistent and indicate late Eocene subtropical SSTs of >28 °C. There was substantial and accelerated cooling of SSTs (3–4 °C) through the latest Eocene “precursor” δ18O shift (EOT-1), prior to Oligocene Isotope-1 (Oi-1). Our multispecies planktic foraminiferal δ18O records diverge at the E/O boundary (33.7 Ma), signifying enhanced seasonality in the earliest Oligocene in the Gulf of Mexico in the Gulf of Mexico.

As many of you already know our 2018 Wandering Scholars went to Italy this summer with Smithsonian Student Adventures. Their one week adventure took place in various cities throughout Italy where they were able to explore and learn about the different regions, cultures, and cuisine of the beautiful Italian country. Throughout their voyage our scholars contributed to the Smithsonian Student Adventures blog and shared their experiences traveling in Venice, Florence, and Siena.
Our scholars spent two days in the wonderful city of Venice. Two of our scholars, Maggie Seye and Nancy Espinoza, wrote about the architecture and history they took in, the wonderful food they ate, and the many sights they visited.
“I watched in awe as the beautifully crafted gondolas passed by. Equally beautiful, were the buildings. I learned from Devin that the front of the buildings were made with marble and the sides with brick to save money, while also impressing people. Marble or no marble, I was still very impressed.”
Jeraly, posted an amazing timelapse video on her twitter of their ride on the boat. The video does a beautiful job at showcasing how grand and stinking the water is along with the buildings.
“The palace is massive, which can fortunately hold the great amount of history entrapped in its walls. We split up in groups and took off in different directions. My group headed towards The Institutional Chambers where the important parts of the government (like the Great Council, Senate, and Full Council) were housed. Every single room (I mean every single one), had me entranced and my jaw dropping to the floor. Incredible paintings draped the walls from top to bottom with the most intricate details. Each painting tells a story and each one was told with the finest artistry.
To end their day the scholars reflected in their apartment and Maggie finishes her post by stating,
“Finally, we headed back to the apartment and looked out into the beautiful Venetian night. My friends and I agree that no photo or even video could truly capture the glittering water and colorful beckoning lights. I think from now on, when someone speaks of something captivating and mesmerizing, the word ‘Venezia’ will pop up in my mind.”
Nancy recounted their second day in the gorgeous city of Venice.
“It was our second night in Venice and only two things seemed to stay constant: the Sunshine and Cold Nights. This was something unusual to me, because my everyday life seemed like a routine. While here in Venice, different people and different languages appeared every which way. Granted it is summer and tourists are everywhere, I’ve still come to see its true significance as the island on water.”
“The three islands made me understand three completely different things about Venice. The “Island of Glass” or Murano made me understand the delicate nature of our world and how most of us want to protect that delicacy. Although we want to protect it, most of us end up neglecting it, and sometimes breaking it entirely….The “Island of Lace” or Burano exposed me the beauty of “ancient” wisdom and human kindness; its Pastel Wonderland embraced the tourists with all its might…The third island was the Deserted Island or Torcello taught me that silence is okay, even if you’re traveling as a group. With only 10 inhabitants on the island, I was able to self-reflect and be one with nature. I heard the birds and saw the young tadpoles in the water. I heard the animals and saw the insect fly away. I appreciated the silence and sounds of nature whispering in my ear.”
To finish their time in Venice, Nancy described their last dinner experience in the city.
“Dinner always included a scavenger hunt or being on the lookout for the restaurant. This particular restaurant greeted us with open arms, and fed us until our bellies were full. The owner came out to greet and speak to the group about the three course meal. He had taken into consider everyone’s dietary needs, as our group included vegetarians, a vegan, and meat eaters. It was the best hospitality any of us had ever experienced in Italy, 100% recommend: Osteria Ai Do Pozzi.”
Since we are on the subject of food, Maggie shared on twitter a delicious dish that her fellow scholar Ummara ordered! All we can say is we sure are jealous of all the meals they had in Venice!
Upon their arrival in Florence our scholars, off course, decided to get some gelato. Once again, we are all envious of the delicious food they consumed while adventuring around Italy. Jeraly writes,
“We left our luggage in the hotel because our rooms were not ready for us to stay in, so we went out to eat gelato. It is going to be odd going back to America and facing the fact that I will be unable to receive the same tasty, real gelato that I have been consuming almost every day in Italy. When we finished our gelato and Devin and Charlie finished their animal guts, we made our way to the Galleria degli Uffizi and saw many beautiful sights on the way. Something that really captivated my eyes was the amazing and aweing sites of the bridges. The aesthetically pleasing sights of Florence were mesmerizing and hard to believe a city could be so beautiful. Not only was the glittering water pleasing to look at, but even glancing up at the amazing architecture of the city was something I’ll never forget.”
After indulging it was time to explore. Our scholars visited the Galleria Uffizi.
“The Galleria was overwhelming in the aspect of it containing so many amazing, descriptive, and rooted paintings and sculptors. Often, I enjoy people-watching because you notice many things about people. Something I learned from watching people in the Galleria was that not many people bother to actually take the time and analyze a painting. Many just took pictures and of them and that sufficed. We had a time limitation of an hour and thirty minutes. Although that sounds like a perfect amount for just staring at paintings, I found that it wasn’t enough. This was because I could stare at the same painting, ceiling, sculptor, and any other art piece in the Galleria for thirty minutes, and I would still be unable to create my complete perspective on the painting. Also, I found that every time I would stare at it from a different angle, it would change my whole idea of the meaning because every detail had a part in the story the art was conveying.”
Jeraly ends her post reflecting on the time spent in the Florence.
“Soon enough, it was over but we all engaged in more conversations with each other on our way to the hotel, still admiring the glistening water. To me this day felt short, but that moment where there was music playing, no one complaining, a beautiful sunset, people taking pictures, and watching others unite as well, I felt like that was one of the best moments we’ve had so far. I wish to come back one day and have the opportunity to witness more sunsets and the union of people.”
Following Florence, our scholar Ummara Khan wrote about their time in the beautiful city of Siena. Ummara starts her post by describing one of the most famous events in Siena; the Palio di Provenzano.
“Unity through division. This paradox captures the attitudes of the Sienese people during the Palio di Provenzano, a horse race which is held twice a year (once in July, and once in August). Walking up and down the hilly streets of Siena two days before the Palio, we saw buildings lined with flags representing the out of the seventeen contrade, or districts, competing in the Palio this year. The tradition of hosting a horse race in the Piazza del Campo dates back almost four hundred years. After centuries of attacking each other, the districts of Siena decided to replace the feuds, in which the people of Siena were trying to kill their neighbors, with an event that allowed pride for the different districts in far less violent manner.”
Ummara signs off by writing about heritage and traditions; something that is important to many individuals around the world but more importantly, something that connected with her during her time in Italy.
“More than anything, Siena has planted a seed of desire in me to learn more about my own heritage. We all have roots that nourish us and help shape the people we become. May we partake in traditions of our own cultures that evoke the kind of pride that the people of Siena feel during this time of year. May we be fortunate enough to witness traditions from other cultures that showcase the beauty that arises from our differences.”

Fans long admired Celine Dion's marriage to her late husband René Angélil, and were devastated when her soulmate passed away in January 2016 due to cancer. Though some time has passed, many thoughts and prayers are still with the iconic songstress. But now, some people might be wondering if Celine Dion would ever consider marrying again after her heart-wrenching loss.
When she was asked about the possibility of a second marriage in a recent interview, Celine Dion revealed that it was much too early for her to say.
"Now it is definitely too soon for me. I am definitely in love with him, married to him," Celine said. "He's the love of my life. It's very difficult for me to see myself with another person."
She opened up more about how her feelings for him live on, even in his death.
"The love that I have for him, I live it every day," she said. "And as a woman, we do have emotions and feelings that come and go. And it's always with him. When I sing, it's with him. When I hug my kids, it's for him and it's with him. I took time to grieve and I'm still grieving."
In fact, Celine said she believes that she will grieve for him for the rest of her life. Not only was he the love of her life, he was also the only man she had ever kissed.
But there is one thing getting her through the darkest days—her children.
She revealed that she sleeps with her six-year-old twins every night to find comfort and to cope.
“I organize myself to not feel lonely,” she said. “So I got myself a huge, huge, huge bed and I sleep with my twins. They are comforting me a lot. I need them. I need them close.”
She also helped the little ones find a way to communicate with their late father.
“We kiss him every night,” she said. “We have a little ritual where we say goodnight to him with a little picture. Then the kids talk to him. And they write words, put them in balloons and we send the balloons to the sky.”
As she continues to adjust to the reality of the situation, she's also shared the last words she said to him before he died.
She said, "When he passed, I stand by his side and I said, ‘You know what, it's OK, you know you didn't deserve to suffer that much.' He was cold. I said, ‘It's enough, it's enough of suffering. You gave so much, you don't deserve that,'" she explained. "I said, ‘I'm fine, the kids are fine, OK, everything is going to be OK. You taught me, you taught me well. I'm going to use it.' And that's what I do every day—so Rene will never die."
You and your whole family are still in our thoughts and prayers, Celine Dion. Stay strong!

Nearly all Egyptian women, 99.3 percent to be exact, have experienced some form of sexual harassment. Authorities have failed to sufficiently protect women in the country. In some cases, it's people in positions of power who actually subject women to such violent conditions. The country's capital was even named the "most dangerous megacity in the world for women" in 2017.
One rights platform has been documenting violations against women in the North African nation since July 2013. We Record has documented women's enforced disappearances, physical and psychological torture, threats of rape, and exposure to sexual harassment by members of national security since then.
In the past six years, at least 312 extrajudicial killings have been carried out against women. These women were killed by either direct shots via snipers, random fire during demonstrations, or sometimes for just covering political events or walking in the streets. In addition to that, 396 women and 16 girls were forcibly disappeared and 115 others were referred to terrorism courts.
As pointed out in the report, lawyer Hend Mohamed Talaat Khalil had been forcibly disappeared for 125 days inside the National Security in Alexandria. She was faced with maltreatment, beating, electric shocking, and threats of rape. She was also put in solitary confinement for two months.
StepFeed has tried reaching out to We Record for comment but hasn't heard back.
Egypt's uprisings in 2011 put gender-based violence in the spotlight, prompting the rise of many women's rights NGOs and campaigns working to end the brutality against women. Unfortunately, not much has changed since then. Gender-based violence against women, like many places in the world, is still very prevalent in Egypt's public sphere and behind closed doors.
Earlier this year, Egyptian security forces assaulted some female high school students and threatened them after organizing a protest in objection to the new educational system involving tablets. In one video posted at the time, a security officer was captured restraining a female student in front of the education ministry in Cairo.
Physical abuse is one side of the story, while mental abuse is the other. The country has attempted to silence several women from speaking out against the violence that occurs in the streets of the country. In 2018, Egypt jailed yet another woman on charges of "spreading false news" and "possessing indecent material." In May 2018, authorities detained Amal Fathy, an Egyptian actress and former activist, after uploading a video criticizing the country's failed attempt at protecting women.
The report mentioned that no less than 2,629 women have been placed in temporary detention centers and prisons for various periods and then were released; 127 women are still in jail.
The discrimination is exacerbated when it's a transgender woman at hand. In one particular case that caught media's attention earlier this year, Egyptian authorities arrested a trans woman for taking part in an anti-government protest and placed her in a men's jail. Egypt's High State Security Prosecution released Malak al-Kashef a few months after she was arrested.
Now, let's talk about the violation of women's bodies — be it from authorities or family members. Unfortunately, in Egypt and the majority of other countries across the Arab world, a woman's virginity is still linked to her "honor". This is why millions of women are forced to undergo horrific virginity tests. The exam is usually performed when family members or a woman's husband suspect she had a physical relationship prior to being married.
In 2016, Elhamy Ageena, a member of Egypt's Parliament, sparked outrage after he asked universities to impose virginity tests on already enrolled female students to ensure they are still virgins. The country's military also performed virginity tests on several women who were arrested during the 2011 Egyptian uprising.
Another violation of women's bodies is the common practice of female genital mutilation (FGM), which is defined as a "partial or total removal of the external genitalia, or any other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons," in Egypt.
According to a 2014 survey, 92 percent of Egyptian women aged between 15 and 49 have been circumcised. This can lead to worrisome side effects, including severe physical pain, bleeding, and the risk of wound infections. The practice has also been revealed to cause a delay in women's sexual response cycle. In 2017, it was revealed that 70 to 80 percent of all Egyptian women cannot orgasm due to the practice. Though Egypt's government passed a law in 2016 that increases the penalty for female genital mutilation, it is still practiced illegally in the country.
The lack of enforcement of laws and the abuse of power in the country has only made the situation worse for women in Egypt.


text: "The Lost Souls and their Bodies" satirically explores the socio-political settings of the Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western lands from which main characters originate only to be united on a Northern island. They all experience voids described as a fictional space of nothingness. Worldly ambitions can never be sufficient for the souls and are barely ever satiable for their bodies coming from different cultures and religions; Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Each character has a dream that reflects their deepest longings and fears despite decadent life settings. Yet they only truly find fulfillment in moments of disinterested love when destiny brings them together. The magical character - the Unwell Man - represents a crazy man from Lea's town in the chaotic Southern lands with a soul that registers injustice, war tragedy, birth and death. Borderless and separated, united and confined; it is a journey of the lost souls and their bodies to their final destination.

History was made on Tuesday, as Nigerian-born American businessman, Yemi Mobolade, emerged the new Mayor of the Colorado Springs in Colorado State, United States of America (USA).
Mobolade, who had no prior political experience, became the first elected Black Mayor of Colorado Springs after he defeated Wayne Williams on Tuesday night in the city’s runoff contest. Whily Williams is a Republican, Mobolade is unaffiliated.
Mobolade’s victory has been described as a political earthquake in Colorado Springs, which has been long known as a conservative stronghold.
Mobolade received 57 percent of the vote against Williams’ 43 percent as of 7:15 pm on Tuesday. Williams conceded at about 7:30 pm. When the second batch of results was released shortly before 9 pm, the percentages hadn’t shifted.
Mobolade will be the City’s 42nd Mayor, succeeding Mayor John Suthers, a former federal prosecutor and Colorado Attorney General who was term-limited.
Speaking on his victory, Mobolade said his victory was victory for all, and also revealed his vision to make Colorado Springs an inclusive, culturally rich, economically prosperous, safe, and vibrant city.
He said, “This is our win. We are Colorado Springs. It’s a new day in our beloved city. Do you believe that? Colorado Springs will become an inclusive, culturally rich, economically prosperous, safe, and vibrant city.”
A married father of three who relocated to Colorado Springs in 2010, Mobolade soon rose to the position of leadership in the local business community.
He served as the city’s small business development administrator while co-founding two well-known eateries, The Wild Goose Meeting House and Good Neighbors Meeting House, in Colorado’s second largest city.

Whoopi Goldberg seems to be under the impression that automatic weapons are available to the general public.
During Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” Goldberg pleaded with Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul on gun control and said that she couldn’t understand why “anyone objects to getting rid of automatic weapons.”
Automatic weapons are regulated by the National Firearms Act of 1934 and not available to the general public. Individuals must first be approved by the federal government for a special license by paying a $200 fee to the Internal Revenue Service and going through a process with the Treasury Department[…]

“Youth culture is constantly evolving, and Gen Z in particular is disrupting industries. Gen Z represents an unprecedented group of innovation and entrepreneurship. This group is focused on niche interests and if brands do not recognise this now and get on board, they are going to be left behind. It’s also important for brands to adopt a global mindset, as some of the most significant growth is taking place in countries that are either developing or underdeveloped.”
Gregg L. Witt, The Gen Z Frequency: How Brands Tune in and Build Credibility
This week has seen the Nigerian populace become more aware of the attributes of a large section of the society, globally referred to as Generation Z (Gen Z). Gen Z are those born between 1995 and 2010, and their parents mostly fall within the Baby Boomer (1946 to 1964) and Generation X (1964 -1980) age groups.
What about them? This article explores who they are, what they believe in, why, how they behave, and provides insights that businesses and society can adopt to tap into their enormous potential.
Gen Zs were born during the dot com era and were raised on technology. They witnessed the election of Barrack Obama, rise of gender equality, sexual orientation equality, shared family responsibilities, and collective volunteerisms. However, they were born into a deeply troubled system, a time of worldwide terrorism attacks, Arab uprisings, effects of climate change and a great recession. This generation (c.32% of world’s population) have come of age to shape policies and open doors they were locked out of.
For them, diversity, self-expression, and individuality are valued. They are actively engaged in public discourse, call out injustice, and wrongness around the world using technology to amplify their voices. They believe it is up to them to take the actions Millennials are too timid to take. They stay informed and are often cynical about religion, politics, relationships, education, capitalism, and security. Since Nigeria’s Gen Zs did not witness the totalitarianism of colonial and military rule, they are largely pro-freedom of speech and not scared of its consequences.
Statistically, Gen Z is the most prevalent in Nigeria. Nigeria’s age structure indicates over 25% of our population belongs to Gen Z, i.e. 1 in every 4 Nigerian – see graph below (Source: CIA World Factbook).
The Business dimension to Gen Z
This stratum of the population holds a lot of promise for businesses, governments, and society depending on how well these stakeholders recognise their peculiarities. It will take some level of humility to step back and plan towards leveraging their energy and creativity. So where are the opportunities?
Pricing and E-Commerce
At the core of their being is cost minimisation. The average Nigerian Gen Z would consider the cost of any product before considering the quality. Using their smart phones, Gen-Zs are more likely to prefer online and e-Commerce businesses to traditional markets; usually on the lookout for deals, consciously sorting the lists from cheapest to the most expensive are evidence of their cost-cutting behaviour.
They actively seek alternatives that yield similar quality but at better price and as a result, a vital strategy to hold this consumer segment is undercutting the competition. However, they would not mind paying a premium if the service being delivered is better than cheaper alternatives. A strength they have that businesses need to tap is their ability to refer and drive sales.
Referrals and Discounts
Referrals and discounts are another means to getting their attention as they actively seek deals and are more easily influenced by their peers than other generational groups. Business models that incorporate reward-based referrals are likely to become more popular with them. These referrals by a population that is active on the internet with a compounding international reach would likely do more advertisement on behalf of the company. Piggyvest is an example of a platform that has thrived with this approach.
Time-bound discounts also give the fear of missing out, a recipe for impulsive spending decision for a generation that wants to be on top of things.
Brand Identity and Social Media Presence
“When the economy crashed, Chicken Republic considered the youths and started selling meals at N500. Now, they share meals to the #EndSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Gate. My dear if you’re hungry, please go and patronize because Chicken Republic is the best restaurant in Nigeria”. – @Cocoh_mma via Twitter.
Being a generation whose online and personal identity are equally important, this generation holds in high regard the social media presence and corporate social responsibility actions brands. Gen Zs love to lend their voice to everything and ensure they are heard. Likewise, they expect brands that they do business with to do the same.
Short Ads – attention span
Usually intrusive, ads do not appeal to Gen Z who have a short attention span as a result of a reduction in dopamine levels when the ads cut the interesting thing they were immersed in, usually on their mobile phones. If Ads are not brief and interesting, it either receives backlash on social media which ironically brings more reach to the brand as sometimes any publicity could be good publicity.
Leverage on technology
Another way to engage this large demography of potential customers is to adopt systems that make the user experience seamless. Again, this generation is comfortable working remotely, having access to services at little cost is important to keep them. The use of digital currency as a medium of exchange is beginning to catch up. Many Gen Zs are now keeping their money in digital assets. Therefore, having outlets that support cryptocurrency transaction may lead to increased patronage.
In conclusion, Nigerian schools, businesses, and societal systems must accommodate the changing ideologies espoused by Gen Zs. A booming young population can induce substantial economic growth. However, if healthcare, education, and economic needs are not met, there would be chronic youth unemployment, low productivity, and social unrest. Investing in human capital is crucial in the formation of a productive society.

OLMYPIC swimmer Eamon Sullivan swapped his Speedos for sand shoes as part of the Yidarra Catholic Primary School fun run on Tuesday.
Participating in the Credit Union Australia (CUA) School Fun Run program for the second consecutive year, Yidarra Catholic Primary was aiming to match last year’s fundraising total of $20,000.
The money will be put towards two planned nature playgrounds, which have been designed using the money from last year’s fun run.
In the lead up to the event students rounded up sponsorships and donations from their families, friends and neighbours.
Sullivan then made a special guest appearance on the day, cheering on the runners and greeting them at the finish line.
“The CUA School Fun Run is a great program because it empowers primary and high school students to raise much needed funds for their schools and communities, while teaching kids about setting and achieving financial goals, all in a healthy, active environment,” Sullivan said.
“I’m excited to see the kids enjoying their sport and combining it with an opportunity to raise some funds for their school.”
Yidarra Catholic Primary Parents and Friends Association secretary Lisa Lindner said students had four weeks to raise money and the had half an hour to complete as many laps as possible.
She said the total cost of the nature playgrounds was around $100,000 and that the school was still on the hunt for additional donations and sponsorships.

For years, Floyd “Money” Mayweather (44-0-0, 26 KOs) has made it clear he isn’t a fan of mixed martial arts. He wasn’t even impressed with former middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s historic run, stating earlier during the month that he’d never even heard of the man most consider to be the greatest fighter in the history of mixed martial arts.
During the August issue of Inked, UFC commentator Joe Rogan used the opportunity to remind Mayweather that even though he’s boxing’s pound-for-pound king, he wouldn’t have much of a chance against even the lower-tier fighters in MMA. Rogan took things even further, stating Money didn’t even have what it takes to hold his own against an average collegiate wrestler.
“Floyd Mayweather would get killed by an average college wrestler,” Rogan said (per MMAMania.com). “There would be no competition. If you took Floyd Mayweather today and made him fight against your average college wrestler, that college wrestler is going to shoot on him, pick him up, drop him on his head, and knock him out. There’s nothing that Floyd can do about it. He’s going to get knocked out by getting slammed on his head. A judo guy would do the same thing to him. A jujitsu guy would strangle him, no question about it.”
While it’s rather obvious Mayweather wouldn’t have much of a chance against any decent grappler, most probably aren’t aware of the fact that Money is actually familiar with wrestling’s basics. For a boxer, Mayweather handles himself well in the clinch, properly utilizing the appropriate hooks whenever he gets tied up. That was apparent during his previous fight against Robert Guerrero as he easily nullified the stronger challenger whenever he tried to rough Floyd up inside.
If Andre Berto had a better understanding of how the clinch worked, he probably would have fared better during his tilt against Guerrero, which he lost via unanimous decision, as “The Ghost” did a lot of damage from there.
Obviously, given the fact boxers typically spend most of their training time working on their hands while mixed martial artists have a more diverse set of fighting skills, most world-class boxers wouldn’t have much of a chance against even lower-tier MMA fighters.
That doesn’t mean every boxer who decides to cross over to mixed martial arts will suffer the same fate as James Toney did during his MMA debut against Randy Couture at UFC 118, losing via arm-triangle during the first round, never getting the opportunity to mount any form of offense during the fight.
If one of boxing’s young stars like 22 year-old Saul “Canelo” Alvarez — who is scheduled to fight Mayweather on Sept. 14 — decided to cross over to MMA and is committed to learning the grappling arts, it’s highly likely he would excel. The work ethic, drive, and dedication is already there, so it’s only a matter of learning enough grappling to force opponents to play his game.
Of course, that would never happen since it makes no financial sense whatsoever as MMA’s stars don’t make anything close to the amount of money their counterparts in boxing make. Like the Mayweather clan likes to say, “If it doesn’t make money, it doesn’t make sense.”

Golden Week (Japan’s own consecutive holidays) has gradually returned to normal after overcoming COVID-19.
More people are gradually meeting their loved ones whom they have been waiting to see for a long time, and taking memorable trips with smiles on their faces. It has been a long time since we have seen news reports of boarding gates of international flights, crowded with people traveling overseas in search of extraordinary experiences.
Did you know that on May 4th, exactly 90 years ago, a historical figure who traveled around the world by sea for the peace of Japan, passed away?
That person is the founder of Judo, as well as the “father of Japanese athletics”, who took part in the Olympic Games and helped sports take root in Japan: Kano Jigoro Shihan.
The “father of Judo” who travelled all around the world
By 1889, just seven years after the establishment of Kodokan in 1882, Kano Shihan was travelling around European countries to promote Judo.
In 1912, Kano Shihan took part in Japan’s first participation in the Olympic Games in Stockholm as the leader of the Japanese delegation, and in 1936, he traveled to Berlin as the first Oriental member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), where the vote to decide where the host city of the 12th Olympic Games would be held.
The Tokyo Olympic Games were decided by IOC members who agreed with Kano Shihan’s belief that the modern Olympic Games should be open to all nations and peoples, and that holding the Olympics in Asia would be a new step towards peace.
In 1938, from Cairo in Egypt, Kano Shihan wrote: “I am pleased to report to the people of Japan that the Olympics will be held in Tokyo. If we can spread the spirit of mutual respect and trust around the world through sports competitions, we will surely be able to create a peaceful world.” He reported this to the Japanese population through a radio broadcast.
He then visited IOC commissioners in various countries and died of pneumonia on board the Hikawa-Maru, which he boarded to return home from Vancouver in Canada. He was 77 years old.
At that time, despite him being 77 years old, he travelled around the world and promoted Judo and sports for the purpose of world peace can demonstrate his vitality, which we could feel by the last piece of calligraphy he left behind before he passed away, shown to us by Kodokan president, Haruki Uemura.
The graveyard where Kano Shihan sleeps
Kano Shihan’s grave is located in the Tokyo Metropolitan Yahashira Cemetery in Matsudo City in the Chiba Prefecture. Yahashira Cemetery, a park cemetery built on a small hill and on its valley, is a vast cemetery covering 105 hectares (approximately 10,000 square kilometers), an area equivalent to about 20 Tokyo domes.
In one corner of the cemetery, surrounded by stone torii gates and stone monuments, there is a grave that looks like a dome made of stacked stones. This is the very place where Kano Shihan sleeps.
Matsudo City in the Chiba Prefecture, where Yahashira Cemetery is located, is also the site of the Tojo Residence (a National Important Cultural Property), the villa of prince Akitake Tokugawa, who led a Japanese delegation to France in 1867 as the representative of the 15th shogun, Yoshinobu Tokugawa, and was the person who guided Japan to participate in the 2nd World Exposition in Paris.
It is a place where one can feel a mysterious connection between these two historical figures who went abroad in difficult times and pioneered the internationalization of modern Japan.
Every year, the graveside service is visited by many people involved in Judo. On May 2nd, when this year’s graveside service was held, we covered the ceremony attended by nearly 30 people, including Mr. Haruki Uemura, the 5th president of Kodokan!
This interview gave us a glimpse of the reason why Judo, which Kano Shihan spread, has been popularized all over the world by many Judoka.
An important day for Judoka
As the contrast between the beautifully arranged lush green trees, colorful flower offerings, and the clear blue sky create an atmosphere for a special occasion, president Uemura places a tamagushi (skewer) and quietly offers a prayer, and participants follow one by one.
“The cemetery of Kano Shihan is a very sacred place for Judoka, and the day of his death, May 4th, is a very important day for Judoka. Judoka who could not attend the graveside service today, find time to visit him on a different day. Japanese Judo athletes who compete in the Olympics and World Championships pay their respects to Kano Shihan and pledge to fight well,” said president Uemura.
After the service, president Uemura will head to the World Judo Championships in Doha, Qatar, starting on May 7th. “No matter how busy I am, I will attend this graveside service. Before COVID-19 struck the world, I used to travel abroad about 10 times a year, but now I only go about once every two months, so it’s much easier.”
I think it is hard enough to travel abroad once every two months… I am truly amazed at the vitality of all Judoka. I see that Kano Shihan’s desire to correctly spread and promote Judo around the world and to correctly transmit Judo to future generations has been passed on to his disciples.
“I came to Kano Jigoro Shihan’s grave for the first time. It is a very moving experience.” Said Raymond-Yves Cairaschi, a Judoka from France.
He came all the way from France to visit the cemetery of Kano Shihan. I wanted to know more about the charms of Judo which fascinate him that much, so I listened to his story.
Why do YOU practice Judo?
Attending the graveside service that day were Mr. Kalesi and Mr. Jean Claude Blouin. Both at 73 years old, I could not hide my surprise of their vitality.
They said they came to Japan to watch the 2023 All Japan Judo Championships held at the Nippon Budokan on April 29th. After that, they visited Toshogu Shrine and Lake Chuzenji in Nikko, and participated in the graveside service on this day (May 2nd), which is a very hard schedule!
Despite their busy schedule, tiredness cannot be seen in Mr. Kalesi’s face even when he says, “I am a little tired,” with a smile on his face.
We asked Mr. Blouin from Normandie about his Judo history, and he replied, “I started Judo when I was 5 years old. It all started when I was in kindergarten and my “rival” hit me and I went home crying. When I went home and told my father about what had happened, he said, “Why did you let him do that to you? And he hit me (laughs). Then I started Judo right away.”
Mr. Kalesi, who is from Cannes, said, “I started Judo when I was 10 years old. My uncle, who was a Judoka, recommended it to my father, and that’s when I started going to the dojo. I think it was because of the amazing coach I met there that I was able to keep going until now.” He talked while looking back on those days with nostalgia.
“When I first went to the dojo, a boy who had been my “rival” at school had joined before me, and I was like, “What?” But as he taught me various Judo techniques and training methods, we became good friends.” He also shared an episode of friendship nurtured by Judo.
“When we were 17, we both made the French national Judo team. We have been friends ever since. At the time, the Berlin Wall existed, and I couldn’t even imagine interacting with Eastern countries. However, France decided to have exchange games with East Germany and the Netherlands, and we once entered East Germany to play a game. That was the event that left the biggest impression on me.” said Mr. Kalesi, about their friendship and the impressive events of those days.
Even when there are conflicts between nations, sports can transcend these conflicts and bring people together. So, Kano Shihan’s desire to bring the Olympics to Japan and create a peaceful world was realized!
What parts about Judo fascinates you so much that you continue it until 73 years old?
Mr. Kalesi and Mr. Blouin are now 73 years old. I asked them about the appeals of being involved in Judo for more than half a century.
“Judo taught me to respect others. Also, through Judo, I was blessed with friendships and had the opportunity to meet some great people. After I finished Judo, which was mainly about competition, I met a great master who brought me to Kodokan several times to learn the spirit of Judo. That was the biggest thing for me.” Said Mr. Kalesi, sharing his history of encountering a new fascination of Judo over time.
“I told my father who was a baker, that I wanted to become a Judo teacher in the future. He told me, “First, get certified in bread-making. After that, you can do whatever you want.” so I qualified as a baker, and then I left Normandie for Paris to study judo at INSEP (see below).” Mr. Blouin recalls that he, too, came to Paris because of his fascination with Judo.
“Later, I got a job with a security company because of my Judo background. I was a bodyguard for the CEO of Volvo and the descendants of Louis Vuitton. After that, I made my own security company when I was a bodyguard for Mr. Bernard Jean Etienne Arnault (The current Chairman and CEO of Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the “King of French Fashion” and one of the richest men in the world). I retired from the company about 10 years ago and now I only do Judo related work.” said Mr. Blouin.
Judo brought people together in a wonderful relationship that we could not have imagined, and I felt the destiny of Mr. Blouin being involved in Judo for a long time.
The path of teaching learned at INSEP
What is INSEP where both Mr. Kalesi and Mr. Blouin learned?
Founded in 1945, the French National Institute of Sport, Expertise, and Performance, or INSEP, is France’s leading training center for elite athletes, combining academics, training, and sports medicine. Using a variety of facilities on an exceptional 28-hectare campus in the heart of Paris’ Vincennes Forest, INSEP is not only a training center for top athletes competing in the Olympic and Paralympic Games, but also a highly influential institute in France’s elite sports policy.
They paved the way for their careers as Judo instructors at this institute, which provides training programs, medical care, research, and mental health services suited to individual athletes, as well as training and competition instructors.
“At INSEP, we were taught that Judo is always about being polite and showing good mannerisms. Then we learn friendship, self-control, humility, and respect for our opponents. As an instructor, I believe it is of utmost importance to pass on to children that Judo is more than a sport; it is a life lesson itself.” said Mr. Kalesi, speaking of the teachings and purpose of Judo.
“It is also important for us to teach Judo so that French and Japanese children can communicate with each other through Judo, so we sometimes bring French children to Japan with us.” said Mr. Blouin, who told us that there is an educational program for international exchange through Judo.
“There is a French song called “Au Champs Elysées,” and we have a program to teach Judo “tai-sabaki” to children to the tune of this song. The words “tai-sabaki” and “Au Champs-Élysées” sound good together, and the rhythm is just the right tempo for practicing, so an expert sent by the Kodokan introduced this program to us. Mr. Kalesi explained as he sang.
“Shortly after, when the Japanese instructor went to France, he was surprised to see the French children practicing while singing “Ta~i sabaki~ (O~ Champs Elysees~)”” The fun episodes with the children, who blended each other’s cultures, made me feel warm.
Incidentally, the person who helped them visit the graves on that day was Mikihiro Mukai 7-dan, Deputy Director of the General Affairs Department of Kodokan, who developed the “Au Champs Elysees bodywork”. Hearing of this unusual connection, they were again grateful and moved to participate in the gravesite service.
“Jean-Luc Rouge, who won the gold medal at the 1975 World Judo Championships, is the Secretary General of the International Judo Federation. I have also supported Teddy Riner (holding impressive achievements such as bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, gold medal at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (all in the over 100kg weight class), and gold medal (mixed team) at the 2022 Olympic Games in Tokyo), who is a French Judo treasure who is from INSEP like us. I have known him since he was 13 years old. I also supported him in three Olympic Games.” He also told us that French Judoka are making extensive efforts to nurture the next generation of Judoka.
Dreams go on
“This is the tenth time I visit Japan. In 1973, when I practiced Judo competitively, I stayed in Japan for three months and traveled to Tenri University (Nara Prefecture) and Tokai University, among others, to compete. Along the way, I did some sightseeing in Kyoto and Nara. I had a lot of experience in Japan,” said Mr. Kalesi.
When I asked about his dreams, he said, “Until now, I have visited Japan once every three years. But I would like to come to Japan again in two years, as I will reach the age of 75 in two years. I would like to meet various teachers.” He told us that his immediate goal is to come to Japan again in two years, still in good health.
“Guy Pelletier (Judoka known as a pioneer who deeply studied the spirit of Kodokan Judo under Abe 10-dan and devoted himself to the development of French Judo), our teacher, was about to retire at the age of 65 when he saw his teacher Ichiro Abe, Kodokan Judo 10-dan, still teaching at the age of 80 and continued to do so until he was 85. So, we would like to continue Judo in the same way.” Mr. Blouin also shared his dream with a smile.
To begin with, the highest dan in Kodokan Judo is 10-dan (jyu-dan). There are only 15 Judoka who have ever been awarded 10-dan! One of them, Abe 10-dan, was a Judoka who was sent by Kodokan to visit France and other European countries shortly after the end of World War II, and made great contributions to the development of international Judo today.
In fact, the French interpreter for the day was Ms. Hiroko Tanaka, the daughter of Abe 10-dan, and I was surprised to learn that Judo has connected Japan and France in this way!
“My father invited many Judoka from France to Japan to stay at our house. My family and I took care of them and showed them around Japan in place of my father, who was away at work, and we became friends. We still have a relationship with them, and they are staying with us and participating in the graveside service this time as well. But, as expected, they were tired of going to Nikko and coming back in two days. The thing I liked the most was the public bath in the neighborhood, which my father also liked to go to, and I go there every day.” She told us that she has inherited the bond of Judo between Japan and France that her father, Abe 10-dan, who passed away last year, had fostered.
Kano Shihan’s graveside service was attended by leading Judoka, including president Uemura. Seeing everyone’s beautiful smiles, I am sure that Kano Shihan is also looking at his students with a beautiful smile, who are correctly spreading and promoting Judo all around the world and correctly passing on Judo to future generations.
Journal-ONE, with the cooperation of Kodokan, will introduce the fascination of Judo, which is loved around the world, in a series of articles leading up to the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.

delicious brown sugar cake with seasonal fruit accompanied by a complimentary compote
- 1 cup unsalted butter plus 2 T, room temperature (1 cup = 2 sticks, 2 T is for buttering pan)
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, plus 1 T for the top of the cake
- 2 eggs room temperature
- pinch salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk do not use low fat, use whole buttermilk
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds or slivered, plus 1 T for top of cake optional
- 1 1/2 cups rhubarb cut in pieces about the size of a nickel,
- 1 1/2 T decorative sparkling sugar gives the cake a sparkly sheen
Butter (with the 2 T of butter or less) and flour a 9 " cake pan with 3" high sides. Place a parchment circle in the bottom of the cake before doing. This will help the cake come out easier. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
In a mixer or by hand, beat the 1 cup of butter and brown sugar till combined Mix in one egg at a time, beating well between each egg. Add the pinch of salt, mix in. In a separate bowl, siift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder together. Add the buttermilk to the moist mixture. Lightly stir. Add in the dry ingredients along with the sliced almonds. Before you start mixing, put the rhubarb on top of the flour. The flour coats the rhubarb so it doesn't just sink to the bottom. (I like to use the same concept for mixing when making muffins.) Mix everything together.
Place batter in the cake pan. Give the pan a few taps on the counter to settle the batter. Sprinkle with the 1 T of sliced almonds and 1 T of light brown sugar. Sprinkle the decorative sugar over the cake or you could just use regular sugar but the decorative stands out more. Bake for 55 minutes. Check with a toothpick, which should come out clean. If the center is a little wet, the cake needs another 5 to 6 minutes. Let cool completely, and run a thin offset spatula around the whole cake before flipping out on a a serving plate. Flip the cake again so the decorative sugar is on the top, ad serve topped with compote and whip cream.
COMPOTE - 1 T of unsalted butter. 3 cups of rhubarb, cut a little larger than you did for the cake. 1/2 cup of sugar in the raw (or granulated sugar). Juice of 1/2 lemon. 4 ounces sweet white wine (I like to use Gewurtrazminer) and 2 cups of strawberries, hulled and halved. If small leave whole.
In a large sauté pan, melt the butter. Add the rhubarb and sprinkle the sugar all over the rhubarb. Add the lemon juice and the wine. Bring this to a simmer and let cook for 8-10 minutes, until the sugar has melted and the sauce is thick. Remove from the heat and stir in the strawberries. Serve with the cake. You could also add a little dollop of whipped cream with along with the cake.

Demand for payday loans is high, with new disbursements increasing by 50 percent this year, exceeding home loan growth by more than 30 percent. However, there are several things to keep in mind when applying, or borrowing can be frustrating in the future. RotateBank collected the five pitfalls that most often made life difficult for borrowers this year.
The retail credit market, including mortgage loans and payday loans, played a key role this year. For the former, the amount of new contracts reached $ 720 billion in the first 10 months of the year, representing an annual increase of 35 percent. payday loans grew at an even faster pace of 50 percent, equivalent to a new placement of $ 383 billion. RotateBank has helped thousands of borrowers with borrowing this year, and based on these, they have compiled the five key points that they need to consider in order to avoid future problems.
How much is needed?
It is often the case that borrowers do not take into account the additional costs, thus underestimating the loan amount. For example, renovation after a home purchase doesn’t always have the money left. As you may, renovation costs increase as you work. There was also an example where someone repaid the purchase price of the apartment from a payday loan but did not calculate the tax.
How much can you fit in?
Before applying for a loan, it’s a good idea to balance your monthly income and expenses. In addition, unexpected costs must be taken into account and the amount of the loan and the monthly repayment determined. That is, so that in case of extra issuance it is not a problem to repay the loan. Eric Tucson, a loan expert at RotateBank mentioned that there is already a legal limit that up to 50 per cent of net income, 60 per cent of monthly income of 400 thousand forints can go for loan repayment, but it is not a good solution it is better to pull the ceiling.
One offer is not enough!
According to RotateBank, relatively many people are already jumping to the first offer or the construction offered by their own bank, although in most cases there are more favorable offers. In particular, because of the demand for payday loans, competition between banks is intensifying, so that more favorable arrangements may come from day to day. For example, RotateBank calculates that, in mid-December, the most favorable one-year 1.5 million $ fixed-term payday loans remain below $ 30,000 a month, while the most expensive ones can have a monthly account of more than $ 40,000.
Banks may impose different conditions for taking out the best deals mentioned, that is, for payday loans with the lowest installment. Many do not look at when to get the best interest. For example, the lowest interest rate is only given for higher amounts of regular income. In practice, this means that if you do not qualify for an income credit after borrowing, even though the payday loan is a fixed repayment, the installment may still increase. It was also an example that stakeholders were not careful when applying for a purchase credit, and it was only later that a 0 percent loan was found to have a shorter maturity. It also happened that the product was paid for with a very high-interest credit card, not a much cheaper payday loan. This made the product much more expensive.
Loans should not be indebted unless necessary and unnecessarily
Interest rates and installments on payday loans have declined significantly over previous years, and there are tempting offers on the market, but it is only worth reaching for a specific goal. For example, home renovation, which is a value-creating investment, means a quality improvement for many years to come, as well as spending due to increased demand for renovated homes. Just like buying a car can be a stepping stone to a more modern, more economical model. Conversely, spending hundreds of thousands or millions on a Christmas gift or travel payday loan can easily go wrong, because on the one hand, the enjoyment that we create quickly goes away and the installments can be paid for years to come. On the other hand, if we are already financing these expenses through loans, they may not necessarily have access to the family budget. In this case, it is worth thinking ahead, saving money and surprising your loved ones or ourselves with a bigger edition just next Christmas.
According to RotateBank experts, loan applicants are becoming more and more aware, as evidenced, for example, by the fact that new retail loans now play a major role in fixed repayment plans for several years. They provide a predictable expense for a given household and do not involve the risk of a possible increase in interest rates. Eric Tucson said that in the next period, the payday loans market could remain vigorous, where fixed repayment schemes could become even more popular.

UPDATE: Josh Johnson is out in left field playing catch. Not sure if he flew with the team or not, but he was scratched from his start Sunday because of the flu. There’s a chance he’ll start Tuesday….
Greetings from Atlanta, where the Marlins open a three-game series with the Braves. Mathematically, both teams are in the Wild Card race. Realistically, the Braves had the only shot, and a good one.
But the Marlins have a chance to leap-frog past the Braves for second place. After Atlanta, it’s on to Philadelphia for the final three games of the year.
The Marlins need two more wins to finish with their third best record in franchise history.
The Marlins have post-season history in Atlanta. They beat the Braves in the NLCS in 1997 — a series that was more special for the Marlins’ coaching staff because it broke the curse of Francisco Cabrera, which I wrote about in my Sunday column.
Here are some pictures to go with that column:One shows the parking lot outside Turner Field, on the site of old Fulton County Stadium. You should be able to see the markers for home plate.
The other shot is a grassy area where former Marlins coaches Rich Donnelly and Tommy Sandt buried a photograph of Francisco Cabrera — just before Game 6 of the NLCS in 1997. (You’ll have to read the column for further explanation.)


Victron BlueSolar 70A MPPT Charge Controller 150/70 (12/24/36/48V-70A)
The Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/70 is the largest MPPT controller in the range, for solar arrays up to 70A (4000W). For larger systems, multiple BlueSolar 150/70 units can be used in parallel, offering almost unlimited flexibility. In many cases, larger systems have a back up connection (to a generator, for example) and Victron have included a programmable relay, which can be used to auto-start a generator or activate a transfer switch.
Unlike most other MPPT controllers, the BlueSolar 150/70 uses multiple maximum power points to optimise battery charging performance. Whenever a solar array is partially shaded, the maximum power point (MPP) will change, depending on the degree of shading. Most MPPT controllers pick one MPP and use it, regardless of how climatic conditions may have changed. The BlueSolar 150/70's algorithms constantly correct the MPP in order to find the optimum for the conditions.
In addition to a high current specification, the MPPT controller can manage a solar voltage of up to 150V. This means that it is possible to operate multiple solar panels connected in series if needed, for example to reduce voltage losses over longer distances between panels and controller. This high performance level is backed up by a suite of electronic protections, ensuring that no damage is done to your solar equipment.
