Thus saith the Lord God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob
Thus say I unto thee of this Nation and the Nations of Europe think thee that I shall Passover thee and forgo the striking of My swift terrible sharp sword not so for as I have so struck many Nations because of their hard heartedness and their deaf ears to My Warning and the Word that I have put before them as concerning unbelief great wickedness and vast immorality and the breaking of My Holy Law and commandments, so shall My wrath and anger and My swift terrible sword strike thee. Thus as I have done with the other Nations so shall I do with the continent of Europe so say I unto thee if thou doth cast of all of thy wicked and immoral ways and also thine unbelief and that thou doth turn unto Me and even attempt to obey all of My Holy Law and Commandments that I should turn away My great wrath and anger and that I should begin to prosper thee that indeed I shall pass thee by and not punish thee as I have the other Nations. But this I warn thee of obey not and take none heed and it shall be that I shall pour out My wrath and anger upon thee and the swift terrible sword of My Wrath and anger shall strike all the Nations of Europe so much so that, that which has happened in America will seem like a drop in the Ocean. But it shall be well that thus far in punishing the Nations that they take heed of all that has taken place they and the rest of their Nation for it is that thus far have I been lenient and merciful in that not only could they have lost their possessions but their lives, but if none heed is taken and the hard heartedness and the deafness continues then as they have been hard heart towards Me and My Word and as they have been deaf unto My warnings so shall I be inaccessible to them and as they have been deaf to My Warnings and to My Word so shall the heavens in as far as their prayers are concerned be as brass they shall not be heeded nor heard . The full fury of My wrath and anger shall be unleashed upon them. I have said to all that these are the days of troubles for the Nations of the Earth and that the only way to survive this time of troubles is to turn from thy wicked and immoral disobedient unbelieving ways and to come before Me in deep humility seeking forgiveness and being joined unto Me for with Me alone at this time I shall be thine only refuge in these troubled and stormy days even the days of the end times.
This is the Word of the Lord to thee
from the prophet of the Lord

Fianna Fáil Seanad Group Leader, Senator Catherine Ardagh has said the former John Player cigarette site in Dublin 8 is a city development of crucial importance and must not be sold on the open market.
Senator Ardagh said, "There is the potential to build more than 600 social and affordable homes on this site that happens to be in one of the most adversely affected areas by the housing crisis in recent years.
"People are desperate for homes in our area but the market is so volatile that they simple cannot afford to rent let alone buy. The severe housing shortages are driving people to despair.
"The South Circular Road site is prime, strategic land with enormous potential to alleviate the city's crisis in housing. It would be an appalling decision and an utter failure of State to allow the sale of this site to go ahead without intervention.
"The focus should not be on maximising the value of this site; its worth goes beyond capital.
"The development of this site can positively impact the market rate in the South Inner City and should be therefore fully utilised to deliver the mixed housing needs of so many," concluded Senator Ardagh.

Federal Lending Institution
|| by
| tuesday, february 10, 2009 11:59pm |
post comment
I have a question:
Rather than lend this bailout money to financial institutions, where the government can't possibly have tight enough control over how it is managed, spent, or repaid, why not start up a federal lending agency instead?
This way they would have all the control they need over how the money is spent, as well as fine control over the overhead costs. They could loan the money directly to the businesses that would help stimulate the economy the most; and they wouldn't have to worry about defining executive pay caps and all this other nonsense.
The other side of setting up this lending agency is that the government could buy out all the "toxic" debt being held by the remaining financial institutions, getting it off their books and putting them back on a path towards normalcy. Then the federal lending agency could work with the debtors to come up with reasonable payment plans (with directly controlled interest rates and terms), in part sponsored by the bailout.
Loans that turn out to be profitable, either made directly to responsible businesses or rehabilitated debt based on the above programs, could be sold back to private financial institutions to help cover the cost of the bailout and that debt which is not recoverable. This would limit the overall lifetime of such an agency and encourage moving back to normal business over time. In a sense, the debtors would be directly responsible for paying back the budget deficit caused by the bailout as well.
As a small side benefit, this federal lending agency could potentially create new jobs or recover lost jobs as well.
Doing the above immediately attacks the problem at its source while setting up the existing financial institutions to live or die by their own chosen business practices moving forward.
The only enlightened argument I've heard about why this doesn't happen is that either 1) it grants the federal government too much power or 2) it's politically dangerous to someone who would propose such a plan (presumably because of #1). But at this time, we're having issues specifically because the federal government does not have enough power to tackle this problem in its current state, and the money they're handing over to private institutions is being misspent. I would also argue that this actually helps the free market in the end because it gives private institutions the chance to reset the clock and move forward with productive business plans and zero government intervention. Call it a one-time "get out of jail free" card for the guys that got us in to this mess. Seems like a win-win for just about everyone…

5 Great Tips To bear in mind When Buying A Ping Pong Table
And because of the popularity of this table tennis game, now many people prefer to buy a real ping pong table. Besides a table you just need to have your own paddles and balls and you are prepared to play your preferred sports anytime.
Here are five great hints for buying a ping pong table:
1. Reconditioned or mobile ping pong table
Prior to buying a table tennis table you have to decide whether you would like a table with a permanent set up or something that may be easily packed and put back. For simple and regular set up, you are able to get a fold-up model with rollers for smooth motion. A roller table tennis table comes with brakes in the wheels that can be employed to stop the table moving around when in use.
The right depth of the table top is a must should you need to buy quality table
seo pressor plugin
table tennis. The conventional thickness should be 3/4" or more. Plus, ping pong table tops with less than 3/4" thick do not help the balls to bounce consistently over the whole face of the table.
3. Stuff of the ping pong table top
Generally the thicker the table top, the better is the quality. Make sure the thicker particle boards employed for making a table top are of the greatest quality. You may also buy table tennis table tops made from resin material which offers higher resistance to warpage in comparison with the regular particle board. Besides the substance also ensure that the evenness of support underneath the top since it is directly linked with the bounce quality of a ping pong table.
4. Options that come with the ping pong table framework:
The longevity of a stiga ping pong table mainly depends upon the construction of the framework. A table with many connecting points inside the chassis give better durability even with leaner legs
affilorama buy now
Do not go for a table tennis table with thick legs or skinny legs, but check out whether the connecting points are set in the correct spots or not. Higher quality linking points placed in the optimum places brings more durability.
5. Finish of the ping pong table top
The finish of the ping pong table must be smooth and despite no patches or rough spots. Place your eyes at table height from many sides and search for just about any bending or warping which can affect the bounce of the ball. Additionally check out for just about any rough edges to the top and sides as it may injure you while playing. If possible use a rule to check the height of the bounce. Usually a typical ball should bounce about 23cm when dropped on it from a height of 30cm.
Only remember the aforementioned purposes while buying a stiga ping pong table and you an appreciate table tennis for a long

Arsenal's Kolasinac second only to Madrid's Marcelo in assist stakes
Sead Kolasinac has made an immediate impact at Arsenal, with his creativity from the back second only to Real Madrid's Marcelo.
The Gunners snapped up the Bosnia international as a free agent over the summer, after seeing him reach the end of his contract at Bundesliga side Schalke.
He had already shown his worth in Germany, with his attacking instincts making him a useful operator at both ends of the field.
Editors' Picks
Kolasinac has continued in that mould since arriving in the Premier League, with another assist laid on for Danny Welbeck in his most recent outing against Bournemouth.
7 - Since August 2016, only Marcelo (11) has provided more assists among defenders in Europe's big five leagues than Sead Kolasinac (7). Up.— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) September 9, 2017
Marcelo is widely regarded as one of the finest full-backs in world football, having proven himself over several years at the highest level in Spain and across European competition.
For Kolasinac to be in such company helps to highlight how productive he can be and how shrewd Arsenal were to put a deal in place.
Arsene Wenger has seen his recruitment questioned on a regular basis in recent years, but he appears to have pulled off quite the coup in landing the 24-year-old.
Kolasinac now has three Premier League assists to his name in 2017-18, with there the promise of many more to come as the season progresses.

Supporting Dreams
Our friend Margo has a gift for entertaining. It's always fun to be at a party at her house and recently she caught a vision that's pretty unique.
She caught a dream to build a barn right in the middle of their home—I mean next store to their living room—for parties.
And what's really cool is how her husband, Doug, caught the vision with her to support her.
It's an amazing thing to watch them as a couple because this isn't really the run of the mill thing to do but he got excited about it with her, saw her dream coming to fruition, and supported her along the way.
Friend, think about that in your own relationship, how can you be supportive of a dream that may be a little unique but captures the vision of your partner's heart?

There are certain sins I've struggled with for a long time. I mean, like, "surely I'm not still struggling with this," long. I've been a proud, arrogant punk for quite a few years now. When someone disagrees with me, I'm tempted to either arrogantly dismiss them or passionately argue with them.
Could I be wrong about a particular issue? I suppose it's possible that, somewhere in some world, like Narnia, I could be wrong. But certainly not in this world. I'm usually convinced that the difference between my opinions and absolute truth is very small, if there's any difference at all. Maybe it's a firstborn kind of thing. Maybe it's just that I have some deep pockets of sin in my heart.
Can you relate? Are there any areas of sin you've struggled with for a long time? Anger? Impatience? Anorexia? Lust? Same-sex attraction? Gluttony? A sin that has plagued you for years and doesn't appear to be going anywhere any time soon?
Why is God so slow in making us holy? Think about it for a second. If God wanted to, he could have made us instantly perfect the moment we believed in Jesus Christ. Or, he could completely deliver us from our clinging sins in the blink of an eye. Why doesn't God do this? I mean, isn't the entire goal of the Christian life to be more and more free from sin?
I like how Barbara Duguid puts it in her book Extravagant Grace:
Let's be honest: if the chief work of the Holy Spirit in sanctification is to make Christians more sin-free, then he isn't doing a very good job. The church throughout the ages and throughout the world has not usually been known for its purity and goodness. Instead, it is wracked by a constant history of strife, violence, and hypocrisy. (Page 30)
So what is God up to? Why doesn't he just obliterate my pride and transform me into Gentle Stephen Meek and Mild? Maybe, just maybe, God's goal in my sanctification isn't simply that I would be better person. Don't get me wrong, holiness matters very much to God. But if my holiness is all that matters to God, he has a strange way of making that happen.
[Tweet "If my holiness is all that mattered to God, he has a strange way of making that happen. "]
Again, I really appreciate how Barbara Duguid puts it:
God thinks that you will actually come to know and love him better as a desperate and weak sinner in continual need of grace than you would as a triumphant Christian warrior who wins each and every battle against sin. This makes sense out of our experience as Christians. If the job of the Holy Spirit is to make you more humble and dependent on Christ, more grateful for his sacrifice and more adoring of him as a wonderful Savior, then he might be doing a very, very good job even though you still sin every day. (Pages 30-31)
Satan wants my repeated struggle with pride to send me into a downward spiral of despair and condemnation. God wants my struggle with pride to remind me that I'm a desperate sinner who has a glorious Savior. Satan wants me to believe that God couldn't love someone who sins as much as I do. God wants me to believe that he loves me in spite of all my sin. God allows me to sin in order that I might reject any hope I have in myself and trust only in the righteousness of Christ. That I would give up on the fool's errand of trying to justify myself and trust only in the justification God provides in Christ.
[Tweet "God allows me to sin in order that I might reject any hope I have in myself."]
When you sin in the same way again and again, how do you respond? Do you sink into a swamp of self-loathing, or do you gratefully run to Jesus? When you sin, do you shrink in fear from God or do you humbly confess your dependence on God?
God wants me to be holy, but that's not his only goal for my life. He wants me to learn to treasure my Savior and humbly depend on Him for everything in my life.
And if you disagree with me, you absolutely must be wrong.

Belfast Harbour's 'RSPB Window on Wildlife' Gives a Bird's Eye View
As you make your passage west through Belfast Harbour to the Marina you probably don't realise that on your port side near the cruise liner terminal is gem of a wildlife sanctuary just a hundred metres away writes Betty Armstrong.
And it's walkable from the Marina via Airport Road.
It's called Belfast's Window on Wildlife (Wow), run by the conservation charity RSPB (The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds), and from a huge window in the refurbished visitor centre overlooking a freshwater lagoon, you can see a huge variety of birds and ducks. There are also several Polish Konik ponies which graze the area around the lagoon, creating ideal conditions for ground-nesting birds.
"Over 200 different species have been recorded"
Over 200 different species have been recorded long with lots of butterflies, mammals, fish and plants. Binoculars are available though the birds and ducks are so close they're hardly needed.
This time of year brings mostly ducks from the Arctic regions and Eastern Europe - wigeons, teals, shovelers and shelducks. And WOW will also sometimes even get shorebirds visiting from Siberia and North America.
From the Belfast Harbour Marina in Titanic Quarter it's about a 45-minute walk but it's also safe to cycle. Bikes can be hired just across the River Lagan by the footbridge.
EU Clears Way for Laws Restricting Microbead Use
The EU has permitted the Irish government to introduce legislation restricting use of plastic microbeads to protect marine wildlife and the environment writes Lorna Siggins.
Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government Eoghan Murphy confirmed the European Commission's clearance last night (Wed), and said he hoped the new legislation would be in place as soon as possible.
"While several states legislated to prohibit personal care products containing plastic microbeads Ireland will be the first EU member state to extend such prohibition to detergents, abrasive scouring agents and other cleaning products," he said.
Mr Murphy also announced initiation of an expert group to advise on expanding Ireland's marine protected areas (MPAs).
He was speaking at An Taisce's annual Clean Coasts "Love Your Coast" photography awards in The Morrison Hotel, Dublin.
Mr Murphy acknowledged that plastic microbeads "represent only one element of the microplastics in our oceans".
"However, it is estimated that many billions are being washed down the drain and into the world's rivers, lakes and seas each year. Once in our rivers and seas, they can last for centuries without breaking down. Aquatic animals may ingest them and they cannot be removed once they are in the marine environment,"he said.
The Microbeads (Prohibition) Bill 2019, which is at committee stage in the Dáil, required EU approval, due to its proposed restriction on the free movement of goods in the European single market.
The legislation will provide for a prohibition of the "manufacture, import, export or sale of products containing intentionally added plastic microbeads, to include "rinse-off" personal care products, detergents, and domestic and industrial abrasive cleaning products and scouring agents".
Mr Murphy submitted a derogation notification for the Bill to the European Commission on 19th July 2019, along with detailed technical documentation supporting the justification for the restriction on environmental grounds.
The notification carried with it a three month standstill period during which time the legislation could not be enacted in compliance with EU legislation, and that standstill period concluded on October 21st.
The legislation provides that the Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for implementation, Mr Murphy said.
It proposes that a person convicted would receive a Class A fine and/or a prison sentence of up to six months on summary conviction, or a fine of up to €3,000,000 and or a prison sentence of up to five years on indictment.
"While this is an important step, it is only one of many measures we will have to introduce over the coming years to reduce the level of litter and plastic pollution entering our seas and oceans," Mr Murphy said.
In addition to introducing national legislation, the Government has been "actively supporting the development of measures at EU-level to tackle plastic waste including through the European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy adopted in January 2018", he said.
Mr Murphy also said he intended to bring forward primary legislation to designate marine protected areas (MPAs) next year, and plans to "significantly expand" Ireland's network of such protected zones to meet current internationally agreed target of ten per cent.
He said it was central to Ireland's implementation of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive, the OSPAR Convention, and commitments under the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity".
He said that he had invited Professor Tasman Crowe, director of the Earth Institute and associate dean of science at University College, Dublin to chair an expert advisory group.
"The other members of the advisory group will be selected from across a range of sectors and will consist of members with appropriate national and international expertise," Mr Murphy said, and its composition would be "announced shortly".
"Their work will include reviewing existing protection measures and advising me on the processes required for the creation of MPAs," Mr Murphy said.
The group "will also consider the gaps in existing legislation to underpin such a network" he said, and he expected the work would take place over a period of six months. The report with recommendations would "feed into the development of this important new legislation", he said.
MPAs can take a variety of forms ranging from exclusive marine reserves to areas allowing sustainable use and restricting specific activities, Mr Murphy's department said.
"Ireland's future network may include the incorporation of existing marine Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) under the Birds or Habitats Directives. It may also incorporate protection measures established under the Common Fisheries Programme (CFP) and other conservation and protection measures,"it said.
"MPAs can also play a role in mitigating the effects of climate change and ocean acidification by ensuring that the marine ecosystems are healthy and resilient and by safeguarding the marine environment's current role as a natural storage of carbon," it said.
Ireland, through the EU, is a party to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
It has agreed that "by 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water areas and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well-connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscape and seascape".
Stories from the Deep: Reflections on a Life Exploring Ireland's North Atlantic Waters
Ken O'Sullivan spent the summers of his youth in what he describes as a 'Huckleberry Finn-type existence' on Fenit Island, Co Kerry, his father's home place and that of his family since 1750. Getting the fishing bug at aged 10, his days were passed pulling nets out of freezing pre-dawn waters, and picking periwinkles and carrageen he'd sell in Tralee. Hard work, but it brought a great sense of purpose, of harvest and subsistence and self-dependence.
Little did he know, these were experiences and lessons that would stand to him when he chose a difficult but rewarding career route as a film-maker producing documentaries about the sea. This resulted in three ocean wildlife TV series including the critically acclaimed RTÉ TV series, 'Ireland's Deep Atlantic', broadcast in 2018 and now a part to the Junior Cert curriculum.
Stories from the Deep is Ken's lyrical potted memoir of a life-sustaining connection with the sea. Emigrating from recession Ireland to New York in the 1980s, O'Sullivan drove a truck, moved furniture and swept streets whilst trying to 'make it' in a rock band, before moving to London to work in computing on financial trading floors – but every sweltering summer Sunday was always spent craving for the sea at Lahinch, near his home place in Clare.
Surrounded by pin-striped suits, money and egos, he felt suffocated, longing for the wide-open spaces of home, but he persevered, believing doing something you loved for a living wasn't realistic. Until one-day his heart suddenly over-ruled his head. He just couldn't work anymore and packed it in. So began his journey back home to Ireland and the sea.
Making peace with his home-place, he swam every day and explored the undersea world around Ireland, discovering breathtakingly beautiful habitats and creatures. Teaching himself underwater photography, Ken dedicated himself to making documentaries about the sea and ocean conservation, he was reminded of the summers of his youth spent fishing, and of his ancestors who made a living that way before him - for life as a film-maker was often one of subsistence and self-dependence, but it was also one of great meaning and adventure, all of which is documented in Ken's new book, Stories from the Deep.
From childhood summers spent on Fenit Island, to the years in New York and London longing for the ocean, and stories of chasing giant whales, waves and running from storms off Ireland's west coast and around the world, Stories from the Deep is a captivating memoir that eloquently encapsulates a magical connection with the sea.
The book is available directly from Afloat here at €16.99 plus P&P
Coastwatch is appealing for volunteers over the Spring tide period to participate in its annual coastal survey which has been extended to October 21st writes Lorna Siggins
Recent stormy weather and heavy rain have curtailed this year's effort, and Coastwatch coordinator Karin Dubsky said volunteers would be very welcome over the next week.
The island-wide Coastwatch shore survey is in its 32nd year, having been initiated by Ms Dubsky and former Irish Times environment editor Frank McDonald.
A cross-county border training and survey event takes place this Sunday on the Galway-Clare coast when 40-minute training will be followed by group surveying of three or more sites at the causeway to Aughinish island.
Soup is promised after the event from 11.30 am to 1 pm, and it will be led by Ms Dubsky, Dr Cillian Roden and Sabine Springer.
Ms Dubsky said it was hoped to identify traditional seaweed harvesting site, seagrass and small maerl beds, and unique marine limestone sculptures made by the sea.
She has recently described the decline of seagrass as "especially worrying", especially in Dublin Bay, as it constitutes "the most important carbon sink in our marine areas".
Participants in the Galway event on Sunday should bring boots and wind/shower proof clothes and a pen or biro and a camera and should register with regional co-ordinator Sabine Springer on tel 086 819 53 24 or mail [email protected]
Kayakers Invite Volunteers to Clean Up Liffey
A new clean-up initiative which involves volunteers kayaking down the river Liffey to pick up rubbish has been launched.
GreenKayak, a Danish non-governmental organisation founded in 2017 by Tobias Weber-Andersen, reports The Irish Times, operates a free service where volunteers sign up to kayak along the river in exchange for picking up litter.
The initiative launched its first Irish venture, in partnership with Dublin's City Kayaking, on Tuesday. It aims to collect plastic from the river Liffey before it reaches the Irish Sea.
Each kayak is fitted with a bin and tools for grabbing plastic bobbing on the water's surface. Each bin is weighed after docking, and the waste is recycled.
Volunteers must then share their experience on social media to promote the initiative, see related link.

A group of Ireland's environmental NGOs are teaming up this spring for a rather unique education project lead by the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group. The exciting Floating Classroom initiative is combining ocean exploration with an educational schools programme which aims to raise awareness of Ireland's marine biodiversity. Taking to the seas in the IWDG's research vessel Celtic Mist, the team of marine biologists and ocean literacy experts will be making their way down Ireland's south-east coast from Arklow to Cork, calling into coastal communities providing engaging workshops to schools along the way.
After an extensive refit during the winter in Grand Canal Docks, Dublin, the 56-foot ketch yacht will also be open to the public when docked at local marinas and harbours, giving the public an opportunity to see the workings of a dedicated whale and dolphin research vessel and how researchers live and work at sea.
Apart from raising awareness for Ireland's rich marine wildlife, the team will be emphasising the importance of taking care of our seas and oceans. With challenges such as plastics pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss now frequently in the news, there is a pressing need for communities to work together to tackle environmental issues.
While pupils will be introduced to the wealth of marine and coastal wildlife on their doorstep, each school will be asked to come up with three ways in which they feel they can make a difference for their local blue environment.
The team of biologists will also be proposing ways in which the public can get involved, including citizen science projects that encourage people to report their sightings of whales, dolphins, seabirds and even shark eggs! Schools will be encouraged to get involved in other community-based initiatives too, such as beach cleans being run by organisations in their area.
Environmental NGOs involved in the Floating Classroom include the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group, Marine Dimensions, the Irish Wildlife Trust and the Irish Ocean Literacy Network. Funding for the Floating Classroom has been kindly received by the Irish Environmental Network through their Capacity Building Grant.
Sailors Asked To Help Spot Migrating Puffins
I remember when I first saw the Puffin seabirds.
It was my first time sailing along the Kerry coastline and it was off Portmagee, on the appropriately named Puffin Island.
We had closed the small Island south of Valentia which is a wild bird conservancy for a look and it was, for me, a magical moment that I always remember.
Crowded along the cliff face, some in the water, I saw Puffins about which I'd heard so much, up close for the first time. My immediate image association was with clowns I had seen as a youngster at circus performances. The facial expressions, seen close-up through binoculars, their colour from blue to yellow and red striped beaks, the webbed orange-red feet, the waddling gait, and the way they bobbed around on the water.
"As sailors, we should be interested in the welfare of seabirds which can tell us so much about the marine environment"
I've seen them since, from a distance around the Skelligs, Horn Head in Donegal, on the Cliffs of Moher and the Great Saltee and why I'm telling you about them is because their hormones are driving them back to Ireland. As their European population has suffered a decline, the shores of our island nation are an important location for them to breed. I've been told by BirdWatch Ireland, the national voluntary organisation which protects Ireland's birds and habitats, that this is part of a huge seabird migration underway to Ireland that is hidden from the eyes and ears of most, but sailors may see it and can help. A special website has been set up for the purpose here.
As sailors, we should be interested in the welfare of seabirds which can tell us so much about the marine environment.
For me, the mention of Puffins, so synonymous with the sea, brought back memories of earlier sailing days. There are many other species on the way to our shores. You can hear more about all of this on my Podcast with Niall Hatch of BirdWatch.

Alarmed: Birdwatch Ireland at Port Planning Shortcuts
#irishports - Independent.ie writes Birdwatch Ireland is "alarmed" at emergency orders that could be utilised by the Government to override planning procedures for a no-deal Brexit scenario at Dublin and Rosslare ports.
The group is concerned for the safety of birds who make their habitats within Ireland, including a colony of terns in a special protection zone at Dublin Bay.
The Government is set to rely on emergency planning orders in the wake of any no-deal Brexit on March 29.
Oonagh Duggan, assistant head of policy and advocacy at Birdwatch Ireland, said: "We are living in an ecological emergency, with 68pc of regularly occurring birds in Ireland on the red and amber lists of the Birds of Conservation Concern in Ireland. Any shortcuts on environmental assessment could have devastating consequences on wildlife."
#coastalnotes - As part of the RDS Library Speaker Series will be a presentation 'Snapshots and Science - The Shallow Seas of Ireland' which is to be held next Wednesday March 13 between 18:30-20:00.
The presentation by leading underwater photographer Paul Kay will feature an exploration of Ireland's rich underwater world, one which is hidden from most of us and one which is still being explored.
It will showcase some extraordinarily beautiful species and locations and will also illustrate just how little we know and understand about the seas and how we utilise them. In an information rich era it will no doubt surprise many to see what lies below the waves.
The event held in the RDS, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, is free of charge and open to all, but online booking is required. To book click here.

Giannis Antetokounmpo produced some top-tier highlight clips despite a 115-108 loss to the Pelicans. Early in the night, he contorted himself on a drive and used his long arms to flush it.
And in the second quarter, he emphatically brought down an alley from Eric Bledsoe.
But Giannis was denied a third awesome dunk by his own teammate, John Henson, who must have seen what the Greek Freak had already done in the game and got just a little too excited.
But don't worry, John. Giannis doesn't look mad. No, not at all.

Gilliland Family Genealogy
My first Gilliland is Eliza Jane Gilliland, born 1861 in McHenry County, Illinois. She married Lewis H. Jones in Ogle County, Illinois.
Her parents were William J. Gilliland and Anna Elizabeth DeWolf. William was born in County Armagh, Northern Ireland in 1836. Anna was born in Erie County, Pennsylvania, in 1836. They married in Boone County, Illinois in 1859. I do know William came into the US through Quebec, and that he was in New York for a time before coming to Illinois. What I do not know about either the Gilliland or DeWolf family is how they came to Illinois. Forever, I believed they came through Pennsylvania, then Ohio, then Indiana, until reaching Illinois. And maybe they did. But a couple of years ago someone pointed out to me that many people actually came to Illinois via the Great Lakes route (basically up and over Michigan). This is a completely new piece of information to me, and I wish there was a way to find out which way they did come. As both families settled just outside of the Chicago area before William and Anna married, I tend towards the Great Lakes route. But I can only conjecture at this point. Anna and William died in 1912 and 1925 respectively, and are buried in Frontier County, Nebraska in the middle of a corn field.
William's father may have been Samuel Gilliland, born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is in the right place (McHenry County, Illinois) and the right age (1798-1887) to be William's father, and many genealogists have accepted him as such, but no proof as of yet.
That's all I have on our Gillilands. Since they have direct connections to two countries (Ireland and Scotland) it may be that an international search is all that will turn up definitive data. But I am hoping some more details will come out when I visit Illinois this summer. I have heard wonderful things about the Boone County Historical Society, and can't wait to check it out!

It is hard to find a person who is not aware of YouTube. With over 1.8 billion monthly users, YouTube is the second-ranked website on the globe. The Google-owned video sharing website is the most visited website in its category. Internet users watch over 1 billion hours of YouTube videos in a day, which is more than Netflix and videos on Facebook altogether. In a very short span of time, people are now spending more time watching YouTube videos on their Smart-TVs than content.
Indeed, YouTube's unique business model has enticed users from all the spheres. Where normal users can relish watching videos, YouTube creators can create, upload, share, and earn fame from their creations on an excellent video sharing platform. Where creators can earn money from YouTube Ads, brands can lift their video marketing campaigns by collaborating with the YouTube influencers. The best part is the YouTube business plan offers incredible returns to every kind of user on its platform. Who would not love a single repository of entertainment, gaming, learning, gossip, movies, music, and earning at the same time? The question of the hour is…
Can you Make a Website like YouTube of Your Own?
Optimistically, Yes!
It is 2018. Today, you would face a much lesser hard time than YouTube must have faced while creating their website for the first time. With the advancement in technology and information sharing becoming extremely accessible via the internet, you can consume an infinity of resources and knowledge to create a video sharing website like YouTube with almost zero coding.
How Much Does it Cost to Make a Website like YouTube?
Honestly, it depends!
It depends on various factors such as business model, website technology, the scale of the business and website, streaming engines & servers, prime targets for the user base, and much more. This article will explain two major methods to create a video sharing website like YouTube.
However, before that, it is exceedingly crucial to comprehend four important aspects of the YouTube business model and of other video sharing websites like YouTube-
• How YouTube advanced a monopoly in free video sharing platforms?
• Would users appreciate a new video sharing website or YouTube alternatives?
• How sites like YouTube make money streaming free videos?
• Who are the prime targets of a video sharing website like YouTube?

Video Sharing and YouTube Monopoly:
Can you beat YouTube's monopoly in video streaming business?
YouTube was not this big a decade ago. In fact, it was nothing. People mocked Google for buying the video sharing platform for $1.65 billion. Today, according to a leading analyst at Google, a year ago, if YouTube were a stock, it would be worth $75 billion. It is safe to assume its net worth is more than $100 billion as of today.
Let us consider the YouTube business model here. Here is what YouTube offers-
• Unlimited hosting of video content in maximum resolution.
• Dynamic re-encoding of videos to enjoy buffer-less streaming on all bandwidths across different devices.
• 15 data-centers and streaming servers around the globe for lowest latency and least buffering.
• Video content enhancement using latest tech. For example, 60 fps streaming.
• Live streaming and VOD on the same platform.
• More than 300 hours of videos are uploaded every minute.
YouTube offers all this as free of cost. Now, I ask you, do you think, YouTube is going away anytime sooner with all these? In less than a decade, YouTube has captured a major section of the video streaming market. At least a startup backed by a partial YouTube Clone would not compete with the Google-supported business, but that does not mean a video sharing website like YouTube cannot survive until YouTube is there. This brings to our next aspect.
Drawbacks of your Biggest Competitor- YouTube:
Lack of Niche-
If you look at the YouTube business model for users, it is a place for all kinds of videos. We cannot say that YouTube has a niche. However, the channel-based model allows YouTube creators to choose a niche for their videos, it is still not very micro-personalized to cater to a particular group of audience.
Fake and Unethical Content-
YouTube's model to accommodate all kinds of videos, in one hand makes it suitable for all kinds of users; it is a drawback at the same time too. The platform has become a home of Fake News and conspiracy theories. Even YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki admits they face a tough time filtering out Fake news and other unethical content from the platform. A platform free of cost and accommodating everything is more of a clutter than being useful in many instances. Except for many genuine creators, YouTube has become a home of unethical channel owners who would do anything to gain more views and earn money from Ads.
Despite YouTube's consistent vigilance, it is still full of unethical videos, Fake News, Click-baits, plagiarized content and much more. With these, users who want to see some genuine and useful stuff find a hard time filtering out the valuable content. Hence, one cannot deny the degraded user experience of genuine YouTube consumers.
Too Big to Keep an Eye on Everything-
Problem with YouTube is it is the biggest database of videos on the globe. Despite all their efforts, it is not possible to keep an eye on everything that is happening in the YouTube community. Neither it is possible to inspect 300 hours of videos being uploaded every single minute.
As a result, there are millions of videos on YouTube, which look like versions of popular animations and cartoon shows, but contain unethical and disturbing content. Such content is not suitable for children. If you do not pay a close attention, you would not find if your kid is watching a Peppa pig video or a fake animation that contains content unsuitable for kids. Problem is not just with the animations and cartoon videos. There are many contents still on YouTube, which are not suitable for many kinds of users.
Business Opportunity in YouTube's Drawbacks:
If you think you have a plan to overcome the above drawbacks, and you can build a similar business but with a more personalized user experience, go ahead, this article is for you.
It is a fact that despite all these drawbacks, it is not easy to beat YouTube as a competitor. However, if you can come up with a similar platform with most of the drawbacks eliminated, a website like YouTube's is not tough to achieve. You can do that by moving one-step after another-
Step 1: YouTube Business Model-
YouTube follows a hybrid revenue model. It utilizes a combination of-
–Ad Revenue Model: Charges from brands for video Ads.
–Subscription Revenue Model: Charges from users for Ad-free videos in YouTube Premium/Red.
–Transaction Revenue Model: Charges from users for individual premium content.
If you intend to create a video sharing website like YouTube, having these three revenue models is necessary. By following this hybrid model alone YouTube is able to entice every kind of user on its platform. However, it is also a notable fact that a major section of the revenue is generated through Ads only. Other two models are not that popular as AVOD is on YouTube. By following this model itself, YouTube creators earn from the platform.
Step 2: Prime Target Customers of Video Sharing Websites:
For a free video sharing and streaming platform like YouTube, the range of target customers is not limited. As discussed, it is also one of the major drawbacks of the platform, where many users face a hard time discovering some good and relevant content.
You can develop a niche for your own free platform, and utilize a similar audience targeting like YouTube under your own niche. A video site like YouTube retains three major target groups:
• Seekers-
These are the users visiting the site in search of video content. These people consume the videos on the website, also called as end-users.
• Creators and Amplifiers-
This group consists of two types of people. Creators, who produce video content for the consumers, and the Amplifiers who are popular influencers on social media. These influencers utilize their popularity to boost up videos so that they can reach the maximum audience. These amplifiers could be social media celebrities, actors, sports stars, etc. whose videos fans continuously await.
• Marketers
This group of users includes marketing firms and brands whose Ads run with the free videos. Site analytics is used to dynamically decide the target audience for the Ad and marketing videos.
Two ways to Create a Video Sharing Website like YouTube:
If we talk about the scenario a decade ago, building a website of your own was indeed a big task. There were people with good business ideas but not the technical expertise. Many aspiring entrepreneurs tried and failed. What we see today as internet giants like Tinder, Amazon, Netflix, and Uber, we cannot imagine the challenges they might have faced.
However, today, building even a huge website like YouTube is not a very tough nut to crack. For YouTube alone, there are two approaches to build your own YouTube-like website.
• Building from Scratch or
• Going for Turnkey solutions
What is the difference here?
In the first approach, you would require a technical expertise plus a team of experts from different fields to develop a YouTube-like website from scratch. You would be responsible for market research, business requirement study, the latest security updates, streaming engines, data centers, website hosting, everything one can imagine for building a website.
On the other hand, the second approach utilizes the concept of "not re-inventing the wheel, when you can buy a wheel to build your own cart". There are various software vendors who have already developed websites like YouTube- also called YouTube Clone scripts. An efficient YouTube clone comes ready-made with all the required features that are present in original YouTube. In fact, they also mimic the exact revenue models of the video sharing giant. Let us compare the two approaches in the following table to find out the things you need to do to build a website like YouTube.
Ready-made YouTube clone Script Vs Custom Development from Scratch.
Requirements & Aspects of YouTube-like website Development From Scratch YouTube Clone Script
Flexibility and uniqueness As you are developing from scratch, you can do the latest research and develop the platform according to modern-day requirements. You have to accept what is already in the software, as it is ready-made. However, many popular vendors regularly update their YouTube Clone and add new features.
Turnaround time As you re-inventing the wheel, it will, of course, take quite a time Clones are readymade scripts. You can directly start uploading videos and earn from your platform.
Manpower You would need a big team of marketers, SEO, coders, Website designers, Software testers, Project Managers etc. to develop your website from scratch. Clone script provider will take care of all the technical integrations. You can focus on your business development while their team works out your requirements.
Robustness and scalability You need to stay updated with the latest security threats and way to mitigate them. You need to update your website regularly with the latest codes and standards. Your clone script is taken care of by the software vendor as they regularly release security updates and new features. Most of them are Open-source. Hence, you can also hire your own developer to develop new features on the ready-made script.
Transparency You are working with your own team. Indeed there is a high transparency in developing from scratch With many clone scripts, transparency is a big concern. Vendors hide their approaches, technical details, even the source code. However, with good clone script providers, you will not face any such issue as they maintain transparency in their approach and share every aspect of the development and customization with the clients.
Consultation value A hardcore consultation from industry and technical experts is must to come up with a website like YouTube. Clone scripts are developed after rigorous research and consultation from the industry experts. Clone scripts are result of multiple trial-and-errors done before coming up with the final codes. A team of highly trained and experienced professionals works on the script to keep it as modern as possible.
Streaming Engine All audio and video streaming applications are power by –
• Streaming Engines for transcoding
• Streaming servers for the content delivery network (CDN)
When developing the website from scratch, you need to either develop your own streaming Engine and CDN infrastructure, or get the services from the third party as APIs.
The readymade YouTube Clones come all set with integrated streaming engines and CDN services.
For example, StreamTube from StreamHash utilizes the world-class Wowza and Nginx servers to deliver seamless streaming without latency.
Mobile Apps No streaming service in today's scenario can survive without offering a mobile app for at least iOS and Android platforms. You will need developing mobile apps for your YouTube-like website as well. Many clone script providers also offer mobile apps for both Android and iOS. You do not need beating around bushes to get it developed separately.
Cost Considering the cost of managing a whole team and infrastructure, you will need paying fortunes to get your final product up and running. These scripts come with minimal prices based on different plans. Moreover, these are generally one-time cost products with no recurring charges.
Why Opt for YouTube Clone Script to Make a Website like YouTube?
As explained in the comparison above, clone scripts can come in handy saving a lot of time, money, and efforts required in creating a YouTube-like Website. Moreover, the cost of managing a whole team of developers, and industry experts would increase the total cost when we add the cost of developing your own server and CDN infrastructure.
Indeed, YouTube works so smoothly because it has its own team and server infrastructure, but it is not necessary to have it all in the very beginning itself. First get in the industry, understand the youtube business model, and comprehend the competition and opportunities. You can later integrate all other stuff as your business grows. When you can offer even a better user experience to your users without spending much, why should you beat around the bush doing what already been done?
Requirements for an Efficient YouTube Clone Script
You should consider these aspects and requirements, and tally them with whatever YouTube clone script you come across during your search-
By-default Features for Users of Sites like YouTube
• Create channels
• Upload videos to the channels
• Upload videos in compressed format for quick upload
• Manage uploaded videos

If video streaming business like Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Amazon Prime, can grow with their unique propositions, why can't yours? The need and requirement for video content are infinite. People will never stop watching videos. You just need offering something unique and interesting, and they will come to your site too.
Just remember that users these days are not just limited to entertainment alone. You will find an array of people with limitless intensions like learning, news, product reviews, research, gossip, and many more. If your business plan involves anything interesting for them, you will want to host those videos and earn by giving maximum exposure to them.

Committee will consider downtown improvements in Humboldt
Lighting, sidewalks identified as in need of upgrade, Goedken says
HUMBOLDT — The Humboldt City Council formed a committee to consider improvements to the downtown area at Tuesday's meeting.
The city is going to issue bonds to pay for improvements to the downtown area, City Administrator Travis Goedken said.
"Especially lighting was identified and the sidewalks obviously have some work that needs to be done downtown," he said.
Mayor Dan Scholl and councilmen Joel Goodell and Kirk Whittlesey were named to the committee. Councilman Mike Worthington was named an alternate. The committee was limited to two councilmen so that a special meeting is not needed whenever the committee meets, Goedken said. Goedken wanted to involve the council at the very start.
"By having at least two on at the onset than we know that we are headed down the right direction for at least a small portion of the council," he said.
The committee will work with the engineer and community members to consider lighting and sidewalk repairs and possible curb changes, Goedken said.
"People tend to tell me every week that it is a need," he said.
The overhead lights provide enough light for safety, but roughly a third of the decorative street lamps do not work at all.
"A third of them are on all the time and the other third actually function as they should," Goedken said. "We will look at all avenues when it comes to addressing those."
• The council also set March 5 as the date for a public hearing on the proposed city budget for fiscal year 2018-2019. The city levy will be $17.58 per $1,000 valuation which is down 13 cents from the current year, City Clerk Gloria Christensen said.
• Brian Skow, a local appraiser, was appointed to the position of zoning administrator. The position has been open since Jan. 1.
• Animal registration is due March 1. This is the second year of the requirement.
New tags will be issued this year which have an identification code and a toll free number which can be called 24 hours a day, seven days a week. By reporting the serial number, the owner can be identified and contacted.
Registration is $10 for an animal not fixed, $5 otherwise. Even people outside the city can register with the city. It is pretty good insurance that the animal can be relocated if it is lost, Goedken said.

"I would say that after 30 plus years of my involvement in WTS and the many conferences I have attended I am still amazed at the young women I meet and the leadership of women across all modes of transportation." -Mary Jane O'Meara, HNTB
The 2015 WTS Annual Conference took place this past month in Chicago, Illinois. As this year's WTS-Boston Emerging Professionals, we were able to attend the WTS International Conference. The Emerging Professional (EP) Program allows young women to be assisted in their development as future female leaders in transportation. In addition to a paid year of membership and other benefits, the EP program sponsors our registration and travel to attend the WTS International Conference. As Mary Jane stated above, you cannot beat the opportunities and friendship WTS has to offer women in transportation, and this annual conference allowed us to fully take advantage of that.
At the conference, we were able to spend more time with our mentors, as well as network with some of the country's top women across all modes of transportation. Both of us were able to meet women from across the country including getting to know the 30 WTS-Boston members in attendance and many of the 600 members present for this sold-out conference.
In addition, we participated in many engaging conference events, detailed below.
Technical Tours
The conference began and ended with technical tours that gave us a firsthand look at transportation in Chicago. We were able to attend a tour of the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) on one of their newly procured trains. We were able to see a recently built station, Cermak-McCormick Place (see photo on the left), and hear from its architect as well as hear about plans for future stations. We also learned more about the public art projects along CTA's rail lines. Dianne also had the opportunity to experience Chicago's growing bike infrastructure first hand on a Divvy bike tour (Chicago's bike share). The tour led attendees to several recent bike infrastructure projects and along the scenic Chicago River.
Professional Development Events
We also attended professional development events, including one with Grace Crunican and Liz Levin about their book Boots on the Ground, Flats in the Boardroom: Women Transportation Leaders Tell Their Stories. The purpose of this panel discussion was for current leaders in transportation to share their stories and experiences for the benefit of aspiring leaders. Takeaways from this event included:
There were also other professional development events, such as What Does Your Inner Leader Look Like? - a panel discussion of women leaders in varying roles and stages in their careers, and Relationship Building: Making it About Them - a clinic on how to get the most out of networking situations. Common themes from these events included:
Lee Filipe of Massport recalled a favorite moment from the leadership panel when "Coach Allison" encouraged us to "Regularly practice LIFE-WORK balance and burnout prevention for optimal wellbeing and performance of individuals and organizations." (www.HealthCoachAllison.com) A quote from the What Does Your Inner Leader Look Like? session that resonated with Laurie Carlson, from MassDOT was "Stretch Opportunities' – Emerging Leaders – some lessons you'll succeed, some you will fail, but learn from the lessons, from the experiences. If someone stretches to you ~ they will watch over you." Her takeaway from the conference was having the power to believe in yourself as others see your true potentials. Sometimes we need others to believe in us to push us to exploring other opportunities that we wouldn't have allowed ourselves to take on without the "stretch opportunities".
Keynote Speakers and Receptions
Each day there was a gathering of all attendees: the Welcome Reception, a "Women in Rail" panel discussion, lunch with keynote speaker Erin Brockovich, the Annual Awards Banquet, the Chapter Circle of Excellence Awards Breakfast, and lunch with keynote speaker Vernice "FlyGirl" Armour.
Each of the panelists and keynote speakers inspired us in their own way. There were a few comments and themes from these discussions that struck a chord with our members. Erin Brockovich spoke about the importance of "stick-to-itiveness" and honesty, and defined "motivation" as the difference between talent and ability. Alison Lima of Tetra Tech recalled the Albert Einstein quote that Ms. Brockovich shared during her talk about making a difference in the world: "Those who have the privilege to know have the duty to act." Both Loretta Doughty of HDR, Margaret O'Meara of Parsons Brinckerhoff and Rebecca Williamson of GPI, WTS-Boston Vice President recalled some of Vernice "FlyGirl" Armour's words that resonated with them:
Janice Martin Bergeron of Kennedy/Jenks Consultants recalls how the Women in Rail panel said to "stop calling it work-life balance. Instead call it work life integration!" Much like FlyGirl, the women of this panel encouraged us to not get too comfortable in our current positions, and to put ourselves out there and take risks.
On the last day of the conference, WTS Boston members attended the Circle of Excellence Awards Breakfast, and our chapter was honored to receive the 2015 WTS Chapter Circle of Excellence Communication Award and also earned Gold Circle status in the Circle of Excellence.
Reflections on the 2015 WTS International Conference
The presenters were not the only women who had a lasting impact on us. The conference was a great opportunity to get to know the other women of WTS Boston. Rachael Sack, WTS-Boston president from U.S. DOT Volpe Center, said, "In addition to being exposed to new topics and meeting new people, the biggest benefit from attending this conference was actually getting to know our past, current, and future leaders of WTS-Boston even better. There is a lot to be said for uninterrupted networking time, especially when it means learning from others and seeing what people are passionate about." Rachael's idea of developing and deepening relationships with Boston members was seen by others as well including Rebecca Williamson, WTS-Boston Vice President and Colleen Moore of City Point Partners. Colleen stated that "the value of the conference to me was the ability to connect with other Boston members and to get to know them better both professionally and personally. We are always so busy when we are at home - the conference provided time to discuss projects more in depth, to share personal stories, and to make new friends."
Above all, the conference was a great opportunity for us to see how WTS-Boston functions as a support network and professional development group. We could clearly see how the women of WTS work together to better themselves and the organization. Regardless of work experience or expertise, women in transportation face many similar obstacles. Together, through WTS, we are able to support each other through our personal and professional challenges.
Thank you WTS-Boston for the opportunity to attend the 2015 WTS Annual Conference as WTS-Boston's 2015 Emerging Professionals. Not only will the memories last a lifetime, but we hope that the connections we were able to develop with each and every one of you will as well.

The main reason people decide to have a face lift is to reverse the signs of ageing - such as lines and wrinkles, loose skin and brown spots. Although many non surgical treatments are available many people choose to reverse these signs with the help of face lift surgery as it is a proven method.
Facelift surgery in Thailand can be a very cost effective option, it is one of the most commonly requested procedures by both men and women who want to look as young as they feel. The average costs for face lift surgery in Thailand are often seventy percent less than the cost in Western countries.
It is performed to remove or reduce the skin that has lost its natural elasticity - usually around the eyes, mouth and jaw line - smooth the skin, reduce lines and wrinkles and rejuvenate a tired-looking appearance.
There are several different ways the facelift surgery can be performed. In most cases a lower face lift is done in combination with neck lift surgery to give the best results.
In some cases the surgeon will also suggest a brow lift and if all of these procedures are done together then this is called a full face lift. Quite often the surgeon will also suggest having upper or lower eyelid surgery when having face lift surgery to give the entire face that youthful look.
Our surgeons in Thailand will let you know which options are best for you when it comes to face lift surgery by reviewing your photos initially and also during your face to face consultation.
Face lift surgery generally involves your surgeon making an incision along your hairline, down past the front of your ears and into the hairline behind the ears. Any scarring will be hidden within the hair and natural creases of the face and it will fade quickly until it is barely visible. Once the incision has been made the surgeon carefully separates the skin from the underlying tissue, before repositioning excess fat and tightening the facial muscles. The skin is then lifted and stitched into place along the original incision and any excess skin removed.
Face Lift Surgery generally last for 2-3 hours and is performed under a general anesthetic. After having face lift surgery in Thailand it is advised that you have 2 weeks off work and do not exercise for at least 8 weeks.

Trying to apply for a credit card or loan, you may come across the term "APR" and think to yourself. " What does APR mean? " No need to worry because TFC can explain it to you today!
So, What Does APR Mean? APR stands for annual percentage rate. This determines how much it will cost to borrow money for one year including the interest. Knowing the APR can help you compare with other companies who it will be cheaper to borrow money from.
For example, if you borrow $100 with a 10% APR, then you'll be paying $10 in interest. Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that most of the time because you will have other fees to pay out, or additional monthly interest rate fees. Credit cards tend to take out a daily or monthly interest rate fee, dividing it from the total APR into the individual amounts. Because of the compound, you'll pay more than $10. Now you know the answer to the question: What Does APR Mean?
You may have seen a 0% APR advertisement for cars, furniture, or other home appliances. This means that you won't pay any interest on the money you borrow. As enticing as this sounds, this usually isn't permanent and there are other fees added in.
For credit cards, they may be offering 0% APR for a portion of time but have a higher interest or higher fees for balance transfers. With cars and furniture, it usually only lasts for a brief time. There could also be an annual fee, or a higher interest rate if you don't pay off the money by the time the promotion is finished.
Some loans offer a variable APR. This means that the APR could change over time, whether lower or higher. If you pay off the minimum balance and maybe a little extra, the APR could lower because you're seen as a good borrower. If you miss payments, this could lead to punishment with a higher APR. It's a risk that, for some companies, you have no choice but to make.
There are many factors that will affect your APR from different lenders:
The APR on title loans can vary depending on the state you live in. In some places, there are caps on loans based on the amount, while other locations don't have any caps at all. Arizona sets a maximum of 120% APR for anything over $5,000 while California has no caps for anything over $2,500. New Mexico offers no caps at all.
APRs for title loans tend to be higher because of the lending process. For example, because TFC doesn't use your credit score in the consideration of your interest rate or fund, that makes the lending process a little riskier for TFC.
The plus side is that TFC offers sliding interest scales for those who pay their monthly payments on time. Not only that, but TFC doesn't mind lending to those who are deemed "too risky" by other lenders. We want our customers to have access to the funds that they need. A mistake or two in their credit score should affect that.
You know a little more about APR and what the entire system entails. With that in mind, it's time to apply for an auto title loan with TFC! Whether it be a financial dilemma or a vacation to pay for, TFC is willing to give you the funds you need by simply using your vehicle as collateral. You can have your funds in as little as one business day! So, what are you waiting for? Give us a call today or apply online!

Laurence Fishburne Brings Back 'The Matrix' for Kia's Super Bowl Ad
With '90s nostalgia running rampant these days, we shouldn't be surprised to see a familiar face make an appearance in a 2014 advertisement. But Laurence Fishburne returned on Super Bowl Sunday as Morpheus, that sage from the Matrix movies who is now using his worldly wisdom to... sell cars? The leader of Zion must be going through some tough economic times.
The ad opens with a well-dressed couple approaching a valet booth. When they present their card – psych! – the valet is actually Morpheus, who, in turn, presents them with two key options in classic red-pill-or-blue-pill fashion: "You take the blue key, you go back to the luxury you know. You take the red key, and you'll never look at luxury the same again." Guess which key they take.
The shiny new Kia luxury car proceeds, of course, to blow the couple's minds. But that's where things start to get weird. Like, Laurence-Fishburne-singing-opera-and-blowing-up-reality weird. Have we all been trapped in a matrix of the Kia car company's making?
In a year promising Dumb and Dumber To, and a Super Bowl ad lineup featuring a mini-reunion for the Full House guys, it shouldn't be that surprising that a character from the '90s is the new spokesperson for a brand-new car model. We just wish his return made a little more sense. Watch the ad here:

Quite a fun game, nice use of the theme. Doesn't have a high score list though, I had 10225.
Cool idea, nice visuals. Good work for a weekend!
Thought this was excellent. Loved the art style and it was just generally a really fun game to play.
Hele mooie game. 10 seconden vind ik wel net ff wat te lastig maar uiteraard begrijpelijk vanwege het thema ^^
Very creative use of the theme, with fun and simple controls. It could use some sound effects, although not sure if there are some that I had accidentally muted
Very cool game! The swarm control style is a really fun and interesting concept.
Really fun game with very professional graphics and actionfull gameplay.
Very nice graphics, good job with the robots and the shadows.
Good graphics, i missed music and sounds, the moves are too fast, but anyway i get some fun, good work!
So nice! it lacks audio, but everything else is quite good :)
First LD? I hope to see more games from you
Interesting game, reminds me of a simplified Pikmin when it comes to the controls. The graphics are charming and really well made, thought the game seemed very basic without any sound or music. The controls were smooth as well. Good job!
Super! Nice attention to detail, good work! :D
Really nice game. I would very much like to see it finished and polished. Keep up the good work!
This game is amazingly well done. The graphics, the concept, the gameplay itself - just very very good. Why no music, though? Or at least some sound effects? In any case, this was probably the most fun LD27 entry I played so far. Commanding the robot horde was very cool.
Thanks for playing and for your comments! We did plan on adding sound effects and music, but we ran out of time... Next time we will give audio a higher priority :)
That's funny at first I see those robots recharging battery and fell down into the hole. Polish model and art stuff. FYI: I experienced lagging every now and then when progress through the level (as I have played on web).
Nice game, I really like the get cozy/spread mechanic
Runs too slow to play here, and the window size is larger than my screen.
Looks like it is probably a cool game, but I'll abstain from voting on this one.
Love the ctrl and alt buttons for sticking close and spreading apart. It makes for different strategies, and managing everyone. But the speed is a bit too high. I often spent time crashing into walls.
But overall, its a great concept! You should definitely take this further. If there was sounds in this, I bet it would have been fantastic. But yeah, sound's kind of a luxury in these short jams.
So nice !!! One of the coolest game in LD. I was inspired !!!
Miss some points improtants, as the time i have before get without energy.
I like the graphics!
Oh, and nice use o the theme in the concept.
I love it! Kinda reminds me of Pikmin for some reason. Anyway, great concept, good use of the theme, very nice controls and great level design! Kudos!
greate graphics and idea!! i had nice time! ) good job!
Really nice work, but really frustrating ;)
Need some sounds :(
Hmm... the windows is much large than my screen resolution, so I can't so the whole thing :S Also runs very slowly on my computer - Dell Vostro 1510 with 8400M graphics card, Arch Linux 64 bit.
Not currently playable for me I'm afraid :'(
Again thank you all for playing the game!
A quick note for those having issues with performance: the web version is fixed at one resolution (and your native resolution when switching to full screen) and high detail settings. however the downloadable version has resolution and detail settings so you can tweak them to match your hardware. Also we noticed that some optimus laptops don't switch to the discrete gpu with the web version, while the downloadable version runs just fine.
Wow, really awesome game! Nice graphics and well implemented swarm behavior. The controls are a bit hard to master, though.
super super super! )))
funny game! you must to improve it!
thanks for web version to
Great controls and use of the theme! Love the graphics and the grouping mechanics. Really wish there was sound to give it a more machine/robotic feeling as well as hearing those awesome tesla coils! Great job!

Michael Fussell, principal attorney at Tax Law Associates, LLC
Business Growth MAP Alliance, May 17, 2017
Today's small business owners have to make many tough decisions. And whether they realize it at the time or not, these decisions often have tax implications. That's why understanding basic tax choices is important for running a successful business, even if you choose to hire an accountant or tax attorney to handle the fine print.
Michael Fussell, principal attorney at Tax Law Associates, urges business owners to ask the question "Is your company structure impacting your bottom line?" Fussell told listeners at the May MAP Alliance forum that being able to identify potential advantages and traps early on can serve a business well into the future. Business owners don't need to become tax experts to get ahead, of course, but a working knowledge of the tax system is helpful.
Fussell recommended planning in three key areas:
1. Entity Structure
Fundamental decisions need to be made about the type of entity one declares. Choosing between a sole proprietor, a partnership, a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation can mean significant tax advantages or consequences. Fussell suggested looking into structuring under more than one entity, so long as it has economic substance for the business.
2. Asset Protection
Protecting one's assets is essential. Turning a profit isn't enough. Business owners need protection against claims and lawsuits too. While businesses can take advantage of "entity structuring" by using separate entities to protect assets, Fussell warned there is a tradeoff: Taxes and everything else become more complicated. Effective planning can help prevent potential legal attacks before they arise.
3. Succession Planning
A successful business needs to survive past its founder. It's imperative to decide early on what will happen next. Knowing where the company is headed in the future will help guide business decisions in the present. Whether a company hopes to sell or hand down to the next generation, a solid succession plan will ease the transition.
With the right plan in place, handling business taxes doesn't have to be stressful or overwhelming. Understanding the basics can save time and money. When in doubt, solicit advice from a professional. For those looking for the easy way, Fussell offered one last piece of advice: "If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Get more than one opinion."
