One of the key issues that need to be addressed is the long delay that it has taken to fill the HoD post. This has been unfilled for more than a year. The question that needs to be asked is why this post has remained vacant for so long?
This is the lead Department in the province when it comes to promoting safety and security. Its work efforts and vision impacts on the measures that all other departments adopt. The vacancy must be filled as a matter of urgency and I would like to ask the MEC, what plan is in place to fill this vacancy and when is it likely to be filled?
Another key issue which has emerged from the annual report is that the Bethelsdorp Police Station Community Police Forum (CPF) was disbanded by the National Leadership of the SAPS. I want to ask the MEC, what steps have been taken to ensure that that CPF is up and running. This CPF plays a critical role in a particularly high crime-ridden area. The Bethelsdorp CPF operates in an area which is plagued by gangsterism. It is one of the highest crime ridden areas of the province, and the CPF needs to be established once again as a matter of urgency.
The research by the Department has found that violence against women, children and the elderly is extremely high in the province. This is borne out by a question that I recently asked the MEC. Out of the 12 896 violations of domestic violence protection orders reported in the Eastern Cape over the last 3 financial years, only 1 934 cases were successfully prosecuted.
At the onset of the annual campaign of 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children, these shocking figures highlight a web of terror that is trapping thousands of women in abusive relationships. I condemn this brutality in the strongest terms and call on everyone to take a united stand against this. Out of the 12 896 protection order cases reported over the last 3 years only, 9 334 arrests were made. It is disappointing that only 1 934 were successfully prosecuted.
Crimes against women and children will need to receive greater priority by the SAPS. There needs to be rapid response to calls for help so that the perpetrators of these ghastly deeds know that they will be nailed and jailed.
Earlier in this year, the South African Demographic and Health Survey showed that close to a third, 32% of women, in the Eastern Cape were victims of physical violence in a relationship. This exceeds both the national average and other provinces; the national average is 21%. The question that the Department needs to research is "why are cases of domestic violence in the Eastern Cape so high?"
Gender-based violence is becoming increasing phenomena in our province with more and more women falling victim to violent crimes. Violence against women has become one of the most prominent crimes in South Africa, and in many instances, the cases that are reported to the police often fall by the wayside with the minority of perpetrators facing the consequences for their actions. More needs to be done to curb the ongoing violence and crimes against women and children.
The Western Cape Government is taken a "community inclusive" approach to prevent violence against women through the Young Women and Girls Project, which is aimed at educating young girls about abuse and what action to take before the situation escalates.
We need to have educational programmes in our schools so both boys and girls are educated in this regard. Attitudes towards women are often formed at an early age.
I fully support the finding of the committee that the department must conduct an intensive monitoring of the implementation by the police of various programmes to combat violence. The Department must pull out all the stops to ensure that vulnerable persons are protected.
I can remember some years ago when the portfolio committee visited Canada to look at the issue of domestic violence which was high in the state of British Columbia. We were told that in Vancouver, there were high prevalences of domestic violence.
Some of the steps that were taken were to issue women with cell phones that were subject to domestic violence so that they could always summons help.
Furthermore, if you laid a complaint of domestic violence you weren't allowed to withdraw it. This prevented frivolous claims being laid with the police.
Satellite Stations
I also fully support the recommendation in the annual report that the Provincial SAPS should engage with the National SAPS to lift the moratorium on establishing satellite police stations in communities that are desperate for more effective policing.
A case in point was the unrest and protest action placed this month, in regard to the Fountain Avenue Satellite Police Station being non-operational in Walmer Township.
When I visited that police station earlier on this year, at the request of the community, there was one, only one member of the SAPS present and he was on the way out to investigate a case. This satellite police station in Walmer Township needs to be properly resourced and properly staffed. There is a high crime rate in Walmer Township and residences want to know that there is a police station close to where they live. I also call on the SAPS to improve the visibility through more regular police patrols in that area.
This brings me on to the high crime rate in the province. It is clear from the release of the 2016/2017 statistics that the Eastern Cape is caught in the rip of a vicious crime wave that is striking fear into the hearts and minds of the people of this province.
This is a province with the highest murder rate in the country of 55.9 per 100 000, as well as the highest rape rate of 105.3 per 100 000. If you live in the Eastern Cape there is an expression "every person's home is their castle", has now become "every person's home must be a fortress". This is particularly so when one sees that robbery at residential premises is up by 5.7%, burglary at residential premises is up by 2%, theft out of motor vehicles is up 8.6%, stock theft is up by 7% and aggravated robbery is up by 7.1%.
People do not simply feel safe in their homes. My biggest fear is that there will be a rise in vigilantism due to poor police performance. We had the highest increase of all provinces in arson by 10.2%, malicious damage to property at 2.1%, theft out of motor vehicles the highest at 8.6% and contact related crime the highest up by 2.5%. Life and property in the Eastern Cape are simply not valued. The burn-and-loot culture is growing in our society.
There is some relief that sexual offences are down overall by 8.5% and assault GBH is down by 6.4%, as well as the improvement in crimes related to police detection, such as drug-related crimes and illegal possession of ammunition and firearms.
Drastic action needs to be taken by the SAPS to radically reduce the high rate of crime in the Eastern Cape. This requires that the vehicle management system is thoroughly overhauled and there are more visible police patrols and rapid response units available. Crime intelligence and detective work must ensure that their culprits are brought before the courts. Police management needs to ensure that the SAPS is properly resourced, properly trained, properly staffed and properly equipped. Leadership is the difference maker and it is quite clear that there needs to be a shake-up in the Eastern Cape to get better results.
Under a DA government, we will hold the Provincial Commissioner, as well as the Station Commissioners accountable to performance contracts. We will continuously strive to improve safety and security in the province. The DA's vision for the Eastern Cape is one of a safe and secure province where our women, children and the elderly feel safe in their homes and on the streets.
Let me once more congratulate the department on getting a clean audit. You are a fine example to the other departments in the province.

X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne begged by hubby Ozzy to renew wedding vows after affair
Black Sabbath singer's marriage hit rocks following fling with Michelle Pugh after star was gripped by sex addiction
SHAMED Ozzy Osbourne begged wife Sharon to renew their wedding vows after confessing to a string of affairs, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.
The Black Sabbath rocker saw his marriage to the X Factor judge hit the rocks this year after we exposed his affair with hairdresser Michelle Pugh.
And he went on to admit cheating on Sharon, 64, multiple times while gripped by sex addiction.
But they have since rebuilt their 38 year relationship, and Sharon admitted she would like to walk up the aisle with the front-man, 68, a second time.
She said: "I would renew my wedding vows. Ozzy has asked me and I would like to."
Furious Sharon dumped Ozzy in May after learning of his trysts with Michelle.

"But when one side of your life is so brilliant, and things are great, I suppose you don't get to have it all. No one has it all.
"The more successful you are, the more your personal life suffers, and when you're both successful and working away, it's very hard, it really is.
"Then you can take each for other for granted. But we're in our 35th year of marriage and we've been together 38 years as a couple.
"Now I just want to be happy.
"That's why I have loved working on the X Factor this year.
"Because I really needed to laugh, and I needed to have a good time and actually to be wanted. And everyone here has been so amazing with me."

Photographer Scott Leggo has made Canberra the home of his business for many reasons. Here, he explains why.
"From the heights of the Australian Alps to the heart of central Australia, we are a business that specialises in capturing photographs from across Australia. This means the options for where we base the business are many—from a totally mobile workplace in the back of a campervan to a remote country town or a corporate office in a big city. But for more than a decade the business has been based in Canberra, and for good reasons—both business and lifestyle.
I grew up in Melbourne and have fond memories from the home of VFL during my childhood. Back then my beloved Essendon was a truly local team and the idea of traffic jams was restricted to small parts of the city. Car number plates referred to Victoria as 'The Garden State'. Those days are long gone. The now AFL is going global and the garden state has been replaced by rows of high rise concrete jungles of apartment buildings, and traffic jams are the norm. Not so in Canberra. Here, the capital has somehow managed to capture the multi-cultural vibrancy of Melbourne without losing the local feel, open spaces or succumb to crazy commutes.
I first moved to Canberra nearly 25 years ago when I joined the Royal Australian Air Force. Since then I have been fortunate to have lived and worked across Australia and overseas, with periods back in Canberra. While I love travelling and the experience of foreign places, I've always enjoyed Canberra and moved back here permanently just over two years ago with my wife.
As a landscape photographer, Canberra is a terrific base for exploring the ACT/NSW region. It gives me the proximity to get outdoors for a day trip and easy access for a multitude of great locations to capture unique outdoor photos for my clients. I love spending time outdoors and you can't fault Canberra for its proximity to everything that involves getting you out amongst it all.
From mountain biking, to kayaking on the lake, fishing, and bushwalking, there's something for everyone. We really are fortunate to live in the 'bush capital'. I don't think any other Australian city lets you experience kangaroos up close within minutes of just about every suburb. Some of the country's best national parks are on our door step and we are only two hours' drive to the coast. Australia's best ski resorts are only a two hours' drive away.
Canberra's weather is a winner too for me. Yes, that isn't a typo. Summers are warm and dry and having experienced the joys of wet seasons in the tropics, Canberra's drier climate is a welcome relief. Winters are cold, with low overnight temps, but daytimes are usually sunny and perfect. You certainly don't get the dreary rainy days and windy weather I was used to growing up in Melbourne. That's even before Melbourne's unpredictable four seasons in one day! The various seasons are great for photography too. The autumn colours are magnificent with deep reds and burnt oranges. Equally spring is a beautiful season with flowers blooming and the weather warming up.
As a small business owner, Canberra is a city of opportunity, supportive and encouraging to start ups and innovation. It is a great place to do business, with a multitude of benefits for smaller and medium business thanks to its unique status as the nation's capital. Canberra is big enough to have all the benefits of a big city, but small enough that networking, establishing a brand and trialling new business ideas or initiatives won't break your start-up bank. The ecosystem that supports new and emerging businesses in Canberra is remarkable for a city its size, fostering collaboration, growth and success everywhere you look. Many don't realise how many Australian and International success stories are based right here in Canberra. In our case, with lots of travel required for photography, the easy access to travel is a total bonus. The airport is an easy 10 drive from my house and most central parts of the city. While the population of Canberra is fast approaching 500,000 for now it still has that small town feel in terms of connections, yet has the same modern benefits of a big city with five million people.
But it's not all work and no play in Australia's capital. Canberra has been ranked as the world's most liveable city, with our people enjoying an enviable work/life balance. Lonely Planet recently ranked it in the top three places to visit for tourists globally. Canberra is home to most of Australia's major national institutions and a cultural calendar overflowing with international exhibitions, art festivals and entertainment. I highly recommend visiting the Australian War Memorial, National Gallery of Australia and Parliament House.
Canberra's reputation for great food and wine is gaining steam. The restaurant and entertainment scene has certainly improved out of sight since I first moved here. There is a wide spectrum of food choices for all budgets and cuisines. Some of my favourites include breakfast at Local Press on the Kingston Foreshore—the food and drinks are consistently excellent with an organic and wholefood menu. Another down at the Foreshore is Morks, a modern Asian restaurant, perfect for dinner with your partner or a work celebration. Courgette and OnRed are two fine dining restaurants that I enjoy. A great family friendly option is BrodBurger at the Kingston Foreshore. Their burgers are huge and delicious and you can walk down to the lake and enjoy eating them waterside as you watch the sun set. On the north side of town, I can't go past Dickson Noodle House and their combination Laksa. It's without doubt the best in Canberra.
Canberra is now internationally recognised for an enviable lifestyle, strong, stable economy and business friendly environment. With a vibrant and well-educated community, and a collaborative and innovative business community Canberra is a great place to live, work and do business. These are just some of the reasons why we choose to base the Scott Leggo business in Canberra."

How To Choose New Roofing
The lifetime of your room has a lot to do with the materials you choose to use in making it. Most will be rated for several decades, giving you plenty of time to plan and save for a new one. Sometimes, however, nature decides that you need a new one right now. To choose a new roof, you will want to consider the style, material and roofing company.
Most roofing materials can come in different colors, so you are free to experiment with how the different styles will look on your home. You can sometimes even find online tools to help you see what your house will look like with different colors, styles and materials of roof. You can choose from metal sheets, decorative tiles and much more when working with a new roofing flagler beach fl company. (more…)

PLANET KIDS ENGLISH LANGUAGE CENTER FOR CHILDREN Mission Statement
The mission of Planet Kids is to set the foundation for a lifelong love of learning and to make a positive difference in the lives of children professionally supported through peer, teacher, and community members.
Our focus will be on the kindergarten curriculum, and more importantly, working on learning to share, showing respect to one another, doing things independently for ourselves, solving our own problems, using common sense, taking initiative, and doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do. Our institution is so much more than just learning the academics, and meeting benchmarks, it's growing and developing as a whole child.
Literacy Program
Reading consists of 2 basic components:
A well-rounded literacy program must not focus solely on either component. Decoding is the aspect of reading people most commonly focus on.
The basis for decoding is phonological awareness. Our institution program includes many experiences with phonological awareness including rhyming, word play, chants, songs, read-alouds, alphabet arc, word & letter sound "pull down" work, syllable segmentation, teaching of terminology, sound blending, and phoneme isolation and deletion.
The basis for comprehension in reading is receptive and expressive oral language experiences. Our program is rich with language experiences including predicting, making inferences, answering "wh" questions through work with story elements and shared reading and writing, describing objects using the "describing hierarchy", literature experiences to reinforce reading strategies such as using picture cues, and labeling the beginning, middle and end of a story, making associations with previous learning, and using interactive reading and writing techniques such as the "daily news" and each child's own "bag of books."
Children who have become skilled at decoding WITHOUT becoming equally skilled at comprehending will not be successful readers by third grade.
It is vital to remember that decoding can continue while comprehension breaks down!
We use a balanced approach to teaching literacy, which includes shared reading, guided reading, interactive read-alouds, shared writing, interactive writing, and writer's workshop.
Math Program
The math curriculum at PLANET KIDS is designed with the child in mind! We believe that children learn through hands on experiences using a large variety of manipulatives. Through the math workshop approach children are encouraged to explore a wide choice of activities which are aimed at 2 final goals - comprehension and lifelong love of learning. We have found that by using many approaches to one main concept we can reach and teach every child. If you visited our Kindergarten classrooms you might see some students using pattern blocks, others geoboards and bands, groups with collections, and still others working with traditional pencil and paper. Areas of instruction include but are not limited to : patterns, sorting, classifying, graphing, counting, combining and separating sets and solving problems.
Science Units
Science units at PLANET KIDS are hands on learning experiences. The units are enriched with field trips around BUDAPEST and it's neighboring areas guest speakers, and science laboratory experiments. These enhance the curriculum and provide the children with real world applications.
The students celebrate many INTERNATIONAL HOLIDAYS such as:

When handling neck pain or low back pain that is a question for your Watertown chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and sometimes the interested patient!) about which position is most advantageous. For the Watertown back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is more useful so he or she can get his or her hands on the spine. For your Watertown spine specialist, prone is definitely preferred as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Watertown Wellness Center prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research agrees! PROS OF PRONE TREATMENT Watertown Wellness Center bases its Watertown chiropractic treatment on research. Watertown Wellness Center keeps abreast of13 current spinal care research. In a new study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores demonstrated that traction in the prone position brought about immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study found that a hallmark of spinal traction might lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Watertown Wellness Center notes the advantages of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Watertown Wellness Center knows nutrition of the disc counts on this and is why disc nutrition supplementation is regularly recommended as part of the treatment plan), and distracting the spine. COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION Watertown Wellness Center uses an exceptional form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is research-documented and gentle in its relief of back pain and neck pain. In applying Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Watertown chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a specially designed chiropractic treatment table that has a stationary chest support piece and movable support piece for your legs. Researchers document that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on such a table during Cox Technic can be instructed consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Watertown Wellness Center. This means a patient can be treated by one skilled chiropractor in much the same way as by another skilled chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Watertown chiropractor is so trained. Applying the proper forces sets up the best chance to replicate the clinical back pain relief for Watertown low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research studies. That is exciting to your Watertown chiropractor and alleviating to the Watertown chiropractic patients at Watertown Wellness Center! CONTACT Watertown Wellness Center Listen to this PODCAST about a Cox® Technic physician's own experience with Cox Technic as well as his patient's whose improvement actually accelerated with prone spine manipulation treatment with Cox® Technic because supine (face up) treatment worsened his pain. Schedule your Watertown chiropractic visit with Watertown Wellness Center today. Your Watertown back pain relief treatment plan includes chiropractic treatment in the prone/face down position with Cox® Technic. « View All Featured Articles"This information and website content is not intended to diagnose, guarantee results, or recommend specific treatment or activity.

journalWhy We're Not All About The Hush-Hush at Heyday
One Love Organics
Brand New Day Microderma Scrub + Masque
You might not expect such a small bottle of powder to turn into such a powerful, textured scrub when activated with water, but that's the genius of this two-in-one exfoliant and mask. The kaolin clay soaks up the excess oil and helps bring impurities to the surface. So once done, you'll have smoother, blemish-free skin. A perfect travel companion, too.
We recommend this for
If you experience excess oil and feel that you need a manual exfoliant.
How we use it
As an exfoliant, mix a very small amount in the palm of your hand with a bit of warm water and blend into a creamy paste. Massage onto damp face using very gentle, circular motions. Rinse with warm water.
As a mask, you have three options. (1) Mix with water to make a paste that won't run off your face, or (2) add it to greek yogurt for a clarifying masque, or (3) raw honey for a hydrating masque. Apply to damp skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
What to expect
While it has a gritty texture, due to the clay, the mask will foam up a bit as you activate it in your hands. Expect silky smooth feeling skin after use.
I love this product because it brightens without irritating the skin. It's gentle enough that people with sensitive skin can use it. You can mix it with their Vitamin B Oil Cleanser for an extra hydration or just water mix it till it's a paste and leave on as a mask. It's a great way to get rid of impurities and keep your breakouts under control. It also leaves silky smooth skin.
Back of the Bottle
Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzymatic exfoliator that works on the surface of the skin, gently dissolving the dead skin cell buildup that traps sebum and dirt on the skin to clog follicles. 🍍
Kaolin Clay, the mildest of all clays, is used to gently cleanse and exfoliate the skin.
Full Ingredient List
Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Pisum Sativum (Pea) Flour, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Kaolin, Ananas Comosus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract, Fragrance

Crystal Palace, 17th October, SELWG
Off our beaten track, again, and a long trip from central England ... the usual Lost Battles crew were unavailable this year so Shows North 'nipped' down, across London to the National Arena Sports Centre ...
Of course, I over-dramatise ... I lived in London for a while, did the SELWG show for the Society back to well ... before it moved to Crystal Palace ... and it's only half the Edinburgh trip (that said, such is London traffic these days on the way back, it feels as far ...)... It's a trek, none the less.
So no Lost Battle this year (no Cruttenden/Waller display armies) ... indeed we went bigger, and repeated this year's Shows North game Greyhounds in the Slips with its 90mm toy figures ... The scene is Harfleur ... Henry leaps out of the siege works and allies his men for another assault ..
'I see you stand like Greyhounds in the Slips,
Straining upon the start; the games afoot:
Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry! England and Saint George!'
He rolls a die, and that number of soldiers join the assault party ...
(And, yes, we worked on the script at some length, it has a pretty turn of phrase ...)..
The cluster of men then rush forward to break through the French defences, moving and fighting by drawing dominoes at random; the leaders, Henry and the Captain of the Harfleur Guard (usually the presenter) using the Anno Domino battle boards and systems included in the Society publication 'Let the Dominoes Decide' ...
Many thanks to the SELWG team, who welcomed us and sorted things out despite our being behind schedule (guess who got lost weaving his way through south London's continuous road works and diversions?). And we were pretty quickly set up and running.
Greyhounds in the Slips comes in one of my pasting table fold outs, these days, so goes up sharpish. Good job, too, as it was proving pretty popular, and we had waiting players for a lot of the middle part of the show. Usually, I have visitors play Harry and his band of brothers (yes that bit, too ...), whilst Will or I play the French ... Here we had two boards up for the English at times, plus a third playing the French with me just directing. That's good.
Sometimes, of course, you can't coach the players, however hard you try ... For the first time, we had Harry shot dead by the sniping crossbowman ... now this is willful - I do explain to the players that there are risks in putting a low value domino in a defence zone ... and tell them too that the game works best if - like the script - the king leads the charge himself ... and that you can't be shot at if adjacent to the enemy ... (so he loiters at the back, letting the minions do the work, and with a low value defence in readiness: he gets shot down by the sniper) ...
Well, I'm not sure that's a game issue .. it could have happened, a crossbow shot, at a siege - and, indeed, it did ... to good king Richard down south at Chaluz in 1199. We also had the game where everyone was killed bar the two player characters who slugged it til just the victor was standing ... But mostly Harry led them forward and carried the day.
It went down well, and once again we were nominated for the Best Participation Game, and were happy to be awarded a runners up prize. Good to see SELWG making a big effort to acknowledge and reward the display and game crews that fill out the show (maybe that's why there are so many of them, and the standards are high ...)..
The other pictures from the show were a bit of a rush I'm afraid: I was busy on the game for most of the day. For a great selection of picture from SELWG, have a look at Big Lee's collection (on Big Lee's Miniature Adventures)
That said, I try to document the shows we do, and there was plenty to catch everyone's attention ... some good looking ancient and medieval games (Crawley were there with the Tanneberg game I last saw at Salute) ...
There was a very good DBA campaign set up (visually making quite a lot of a game that is in its essence very modest)...
I thought the BMSS 'old school' presentation of a biblical game (25mm figures on a pale sandy cloth) worked particularly well.
A nice mix of what wargaming once looked like, but with modern quality figures - hey, and some captions, too.
Amongst the more modern stuff, the thunderbolts on a stick game was there, and some brilliantly realistic forest terrain and wintry European landscape in the Hochwald Gap game (Shepway Wargames Club - I think they deservedly got the Best Terrain prize).
A very good and rewarding day out, and loads more copies of Let the Dominoes Decide in circulation.
The trip home offered its usual delights - one more photo then ... a mix of what Chris had to look at in the back of the car ... Glad he had something to do.
Me? I was just driving (well, not, actually ... sitting behind the wheel in charge of motor vehicle ... but going nowhere). Cities are such fun when nobody can go anywhere. Look on the bright side ...the tunnel was shut, the M25 was clogged, but my jammed-up 1980's going nowhere route actually got us back to Northamptonshire in just over two and a half hours. A result, I'm given to understand.
Thanks for a great show SELWG ..
Next outing for us? Fiasco, back up north again. A first look at the Royal Armouries's new Saviles exhibition suite.
Why not drop by and have a look - it'll be new for us as well. We'll have Greyhounds in the Slips again, but I think the tower just got bigger ...

I saw your game in progress but didn't get a chance to pop back for a go unfortunately. I did get a couple of pictures though, which I posted on my blog.
I had similar problems with travel, and I only live the other side of the river. My journey to Crystal Palace was 'interesting' with both tunnels closed and a Sat-Nav that needs updating. Got there in the end but both the outward and return journeys took nearly 2 hours instead of the normal 45-60 minutes! Pity, because other than that I had a great day.

Great stuff, Lee - I laughed out loud when I read your comments (I crossed at London Bridge, then ended up in a load of diversions without a Sat-Nav or an A-to-Z!)..
The things we do for pleasure!
Great pictures ... I will edit a link into the blog if I may ...

The fast loan via SMS is an innovative idea and above all it is a very simple type of loan to request. The capital is disbursed by text message from the bank that proposes it, in this way it is possible to avoid the related documentation documentation for the verification of the economic status of the subject receiving the loan. Obviously this type of loan allows you to have a low loan, in fact the maximum allowed is the figure of 500 €, also because the repayment plan is short and usually only 30 days. The fast loan via sms is a solution that can be useful in case you really have money urgency or in the case where unexpected expenses occur which were not foreseen and which must be faced in some way. The idea was born in Northern European countries and is gradually spreading to the rest of the continent; more and more credit institutions are proposing this type of financing and have already set out very specific conditions and requirements, in order to manage the risk of capital insolvency with simple and rapid timing.
The Fast Loan via SMS: What figure can be requested?
The fast loan via SMS, also known as SmsLoans , provides limited financing, as it is possible to request a minimum amount of € 50 and a maximum of € 500. The loan must be repaid within 30 days of the disbursement of the capital with terms and conditions established by the bank itself that proposed the loan. Therefore it is possible to request a modest sum to remedy the expenses which are suddenly added and there is no possibility to face the new situation only with one's own strength.
What are the necessary requirements to request and obtain a fast loan via SMS?
To apply for a fast loan via SMS you need to have some requirements, in fact not everyone can have access to this type of loan. The requirements that must be available are essentially two, namely having a bank or postal current account and having registered and accessed on the website of the credit institution.
As said it is essential to have an open current account, this is in fact the main requirement to be able to request a fast loan via SMS. Being a current account holder is a guarantee for the bank as regards the real possibility of repayment of the credit by the beneficiary. The capital required is paid directly into your current account, while the loan repayment plan is chosen directly by the customer, but cannot exceed 30 days, as if you were not able to repay the loan within this time, yes would incur some penalties that will lead to having to pay additional fees.
How to apply for a loan via SMS and how long does it take for the provision of capital?
Requesting a fast loan via SMS is very simple, in fact it is sufficient to send the request via a simple message after registering on the site of the credit institution that proposes this particular financing method. This second requirement is very important to be in touch with your bank without wasting time. Usually the financing is obtained within 15-20 minutes from the sending of the request SMS. The times for the acceptance for the acceptance of the loan are not however very long, almost always do not exceed 30 minutes and the answer comes through a confirmation sms directly on your mobile phone.
The timing for the confirmation of the acceptance of the loan by the bank, varies from institution to institution, but usually does not exceed one hour or at most a couple of hours.
Fast loan repayment via SMS: interest rates
The interest rates provided for this type of loan are quite high even if they are not so different from those proposed for fast online loans.
The interest rates for this type of fast loan often depend on the days used to repay the disbursed capital. That is, if you repay the sum in 30 days, the rate could even be 30%, but if you exceed the one-month limit, the interest rate can increase a lot, as you will have to pay penalties and additional commissions. However, despite being an existing type of loan, many are wary, since interest rates are considered very high and above all because, being a type of financing that is not very popular in Italy, most banking institutions do not have clear and defined policies for being able to provide the loan quickly via SMS without problems.
Fast sms loans: payday loans
Payday loans or payday loans are a type of loan that is widespread especially in England and Northern Europe. These loans can also be considered as a sort of advance on the salary, as it is possible to request them a few weeks before the next salary is credited and they are usually reimbursed as soon as the salary or salary is paid by the employer. These are loans that are used to meet unexpected expenses just a few days after receiving your pay. Usually these loans have a relatively short duration of one or at most two weeks.
What are payday loans for?
Payday loans are usually used to face urgent expenses such as the payment of a rent or an expiring bill or to face an unexpected expense such as a car breakdown or a visit to the eye specialist. In practice it is a type of loan that is used to deal with any economic emergency a few days after receiving the salary.
Payday loans: how they work
Payday loans are short-term loans (maximum two weeks) with the repayment expected on the next payday, or when the salary is received. This type of loan is issued by financial institutions. The person requesting them can follow the same procedure as the SMS loans or go directly to his financial company, request a small sum and sign a post-dated check on the date on which the salary is collected. The allowance includes the amount requested and the interest calculated on the sum. It is also possible to request the loan directly online by filling out a special form provided by the financial company on its website. In this case the loan will be disbursed directly into your current account and when you receive your salary, the repayment of the debt will be made through an electronic withdrawal from the current account.
Payday loans: Interest rates
As with fast text messaging, the interest rates for this type of loan are very high. For some loans you can even get a 500% rate. In Italy this type of loan is not yet present, as no financial institution is willing to take on such a great risk of insolvency since in our country even those who have a stable job often find it difficult to receive salary by the date set in the contract same as work. Furthermore, many people in our country do not have a permanent employment contract and therefore do not have the security of the monthly pay packet. Often they are precarious workers struggling with project or temporary contracts that do not give any kind of guarantee.
Payday loans: Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of payday loans are being able to get the salary payday without having pending expenses by taking advantage of a relatively small amount with the possibility of repaying it as soon as the pay is received. In short, it is a great way to be able to cope with some necessary expenses and arrive later this month without too many worries. The disadvantages are all represented by the high interest rates that could complicate not just their plans, as stated in fact for this type of loan, the interest rate can even reach 500% or even exceed it. This leads to a possible difficulty in repaying the disbursed capital, in fact it is often barely possible to repay the interest while it is extremely difficult to be able to repay the requested credit.
Are payday loans loans illegal?
Payday loans are having great success in England and America, but lately there is a tightening on this type of loans due to the high interest rates required by the financial companies that grant them. In fact, these interest rates have meant that payaday loans were declared illegal at least in those countries that provide for an anti-usury interest rate. One of these countries is precisely Italy, which is why in our country this type of loan does not exist, also because in order to be able to provide it banks and financial institutions should study an ad hoc methodology to ensure that they stay within a legal interest rate. .
Realizing this is very difficult given that it is still a case of loans without a strong guarantee, the only guarantee is in fact represented by the salary that is received each month. For now, therefore, payday loans are illegal only in our country and in all those that foresee interest rates against usury, while in England, America and all British countries they continue to be considered legal precisely because they do not apply the anti-usury law so in these countries it is possible to grant loans demanding these very high interest rates.

Even in my pre-vegan days, I wasn't really a huge fan of french toast. I would never choose it over say, waffles or cinnamon rolls. I tried to make it at home a few times, but it always came out not quite right. My husband is a much bigger french toast fan than I am, so when I was given a sample of the Vegg to review, my first thought was to whip up some vegan french toast and see what happened.
The Vegg is a vegan product that is made to resemble egg yolks. It comes in a powder form, and you need to mix it in a blender with some water to get the correct consistency. Conveniently there was even a recipe for french toast included on the package! I decided to use this as my base recipe, and added some other flavors in for fun.
Tangerine French Toast
makes 3-4 servings
2 tsp Vegg powder
3/4 C water
3/4 C almond milk
1 tangerine, juiced (about 1/4 C juice)
few drops vanilla
4-6 pieces bread - cut into thirds
vegan butter
for garnish: powdered sugar, maple syrup, tangerine slices
Mix together the Vegg powder, water, and almond milk together in a blender.
Pour this into a shallow dish. Stir in the tangerine juice and a few drops of vanilla.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt some vegan butter.
Slice your bread into strips and dip both sides into the liquid mixture. Fry the bread in the heated skillet, adding more vegan butter as needed. Flip to cook both sides until golden brown.
Top with powdered sugar, maple syrup and tangerine segments.
When I was mixing the Vegg powder in the blender I was surprised by how much it actually smelled like eggs. It's not a smell I'm used to anymore, so it was a little weird! I was worried the french toast might taste too much like an egg, but actually the end product was delicious! I think with all the other flavors going on and the fact that I covered the french toast with a nice layer of powdered sugar and maple sugar it was hard to go wrong. The tangerines were so perfect too!
I do think that you could easily make this recipe without the Vegg in there, but if you are really missing eggs in your dishes or for someone who is still transitioning to a vegan diet, I think this product could be very useful. I was happy to test it out, and I think I'll make this french toast again!

When my friend Laura Boggess goes to the beach, she chooses a person she cares about and writes that person's name into the sand. Then she prays for her. I remembered this act of friendship last weekend while I was at the beach, and decided to do the same thing.
I found a small stick and with two fluid motions, spelled out a name in the damp sand.
I made a big swirl on the first letter and took my time to connect each of the remaining letters, followed by a big swish.
I retrieved my phone from the gallon bag in the green plastic pail and snapped a picture. I turned away from the sun and stuffed the phone back in the bag, "zipped" it closed, and placed the package back in the pail. When I turned around again to admire my work, it was gone. The waves lapped those cursive letters right out of the sand. There was no trace of my handiwork.
In that instant, I remembered a conversation I'd had with Laura. More than a year ago my daughter and I were traveling through West Virginia and she graciously agreed to house us for the night. Hannah went to bed early, but Laura and I stayed awake much later than is typical for me because time spent in heart conversation with a too-far-away-friend is more precious than a few hours of sleep.
We confessed how easy it is to feel insignificant when we compare our work to the great needs of the world or to the ministry of others. Ultimately, we encouraged each other with Truth from Zechariah 4:10, "Do not despise these small beginnings."
Later I asked Hannah to create a thank you gift for Laura, based on the conversation and the Bible verse. She's a talented artist/hand letterer. I'm not sure if she looked up the verse in a different translation, or if our conversation actually took a slightly different turn, but here's a picture of Hannah's artwork, "Make a difference in the small places."
Like the tide that returns to the sand each day, those words came back to me this week. Exactly when I needed to hear them most. Lately, I've been second guessing how effective I've been at my business/ministry pursuit. A little more than a year ago I started Oikos Services to give hope and employment opportunities to disenfranchised women in need of a second chance. On the outside, we look like a residential cleaning company, but the vision is for so much more.
It's been slightly more than a year and I only have three employees. We do daily devotionals together, but their situations are still pretty dire. While many of my former colleagues are out changing the word, I'm left wondering: is what I'm doing really making a difference?
When Laura and I sat in her family room, I'm not sure either of us realized we were in the midst of what was, at least for me, an ongoing Life Lesson.
Make a difference in small places. Indeed.
The tides come and go. High tide turns into low tide. Low tide into high tide. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months. Months into years. If we're not careful, we can turn away from the task at hand, even for a brief moment, and think the impact we make on those around us has washed away.
That would be a lie.
We may consider quitting.
But that would be a mistake.
Especially when the Kingdom of God is at hand.
Cheryl is a wonderful entrepreneurial woman who I met a few years back when I was doing a women's retreat in Virginia. I am so encouraged that she is really listening to what God is saying and then doing something about it.

Why Does Your Vision Seem Blurry In The Evening?
Have you noticed that once the sun goes down, your vision starts to seem blurry or fuzzy? There are a number of possible causes of this symptom, some of which are more serious, and others of which are rather innocuous. It's important to figure out why your vision seems blurry so that you can get the treatment you need and avoid any more serious effects that might be down the road.
Eye Surgery
Have you had eye surgery in the past? The blurry vision you experience at night may be a side effect of the surgery. Often, after vision correction surgery or cataract surgery, your eyes will overreact to bright lights in an otherwise dark space -- and this can be perceived as blurriness. Check in with your surgeon to make sure you're healing properly. If it has only been a few weeks or months since your surgery, there's a good chance this symptom will improve overtime. But if it has already been a year or several years, this side effect may be permanent. You might just have to find ways to deal with it – like avoiding driving at night and using lower, more glowing lights to illuminate your home at night.
Vitamin A Deficiency
If you don't get enough vitamin A in your diet, you may develop a condition known as night blindness, which results in blurry vision at night. Do you eat a lot of vitamin A-rich foods like leafy greens, orange veggies, milk, and eggs? If not, consider having a blood test conducted to see if you're low in vitamin A. If you are indeed deficient in this nutrient, taking a supplement should restore your levels and help bring your vision back to normal.
Cataracts form when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. They cause your vision to become progressively blurrier overtime. Sometimes, patients only notice the blurriness at night initially – but as the cataracts progress, blurriness during the day becomes more apparent. If you are approaching retirement age, suffer from diabetes, are a heavy drinker, have a family history of cataracts, smoke, or have high blood pressure, you're at an increased risk of cataracts. Your eye doctor can conduct a few simple tests to diagnose you. If you are diagnosed, treatment will involve taking medications to slow the progression of the cataracts and eventually having them surgically removed to restore your vision.
If your vision seems unusually blurry in the evening, don't ignore this symptom. Consider the possible causes above, and consult with your eye doctor to get to the bottom of the issue. Contact a doctor, such as Dr Ron Sealock, for more information.

'Sesame Street' Finds New Roots
MadisonF, Staff Reporter
December 13, 2018
From the smiling faces to the cheerful songs, many people remember the day they watched 'Sesame Street', or are now witnessing it again with their children. What many newcomers and seasoned fans might not know is the recent character development of one of the previous regulars- highlighting the life...
The Land of the Free

Ah, America. The good ol' U.S. of A. The red, white, and blue. The land of the free and the home of the brave... or is it? Some think Colin Kaepernick disagrees, as the America-hating, national anthem-despising sub par quarterback he is. Or is he? In case I am spouting off nonsense to you, Colin Kaepernick...

Talking points. That's all you hear from the media. Talking points! But what do politicians or reporters mean when they say talking points? They mean they've distilled their lies and obfuscations down to a precise, manageable, effectively efficient number which they think or at least hope will fool people. Let's work on those talking points! Remove this. Can't say that. Save face. The least—the very least ignored forgotten factor in their considerations is the truth of the matter.
The activist writers group I once belonged to, the Underground Literary Alliance, was destroyed and kept down by talking points. I've never seen them; no one's dared leak them to me; but when everyone who writes or comments about you is repeating exactly the same distortions, untruths, and misconceptions then they're relying on someone's talking points. Do the talking points sound plausible? The truth? Nowhere.
The problem we see today with current political scandals isn't with specific bureaucracies (though it's in the nature of bureaucracies to abuse power), or even with specific individuals. It's with all of it. Most of the individuals involved are products of an educational system carrying an underlying philosophy that places expediency above character and integrity.
The people running this country have no character. This statement has nothing to do with political parties, but with how people in power behave—how they're expected to behave to achieve their station.
Hillary Clinton has no character and likely never had any character. Surely you know that, as a young lawyer, she was bounced from the Watergate investigation because of her unscrupulous behavior? No?
Great attack dog. Useful in certain situations. Not a leader. No character.
Why the obfuscations about Benghazi? The truth of the situation is easy to see. The administration's ambassador—their own guy—and his team were trapped in an eight-hour firefight. Eight hours! Trapped! The ambassador's bosses, Hillary, Panetta, Obama included, ran away from the situation. They threw their own people overboard in the interest of what? Talking points?!
The problem starts with the university system, to this extent.
Human beings are irrational animals. Read Gustave LeBon's analysis of the French Revolution. Our task is to fight, every day, against our own irrationality, our flaws and drives and failings, and against the distortions of information we receive: i.e., talking points. We need touchstones. Touchstones for behavior and for viewing reality. Your touchstone might be A.) Religion used practicably. A set of values; rules of good behavior. B.) Devotion to classical principles; the teachings of Aristotle and the like.
America once had both these foundations of strength, combined.
What's being taught in the academy today?
Students are taught a mish-mash of Marx and Nietzsche, and French postmodern/crackpot philosophy, with added dashes of feminist make-believe reinterpretations/distortions of history and human nature. Students graduate with heads filled with a nightmare of contemporary beliefs and confusions and little understanding of how the world works in reality. No foundation of moral principles and ethics.
They've learned how to recite back to their teachers indoctrinated information thought necessary to achieve. The one thing they haven't learned is how to think.
They've learned talking points.

The UN has warned that we have just 12 years to prevent runaway climate change. 2018 was a year characterised by climate change related events: deadly wildfires as temperatures soar and catastrophic flooding as sea levels rapidly rise.
Climate change also comes with a huge human cost. Already, 22 million people are displaced by climate-related disasters every year. The fossil fuel industry is responsible for this. Furthermore, fossil fuel companies displace indigenous communities (sometimes violently), imposing extractive infrastructure and poisoning local water in order to extract fossil fuels.
In a world that must move to clean energy, investments in fossil fuels are increasingly financially (as well as environmentally) unsustainable.
It's time for change. We must demand full divestment from fossil fuels now.

Swanselona! How Rodgers has turned his team into the talk of the Premier League
By Rob Draper for The Mail on Sunday
On Saturday evening, Brendan Rodgers and his Swansea team will be preparing for the match of their lives. Manchester United will be in town, not for a romantic Cup tie or a benign friendly, but as Premier League opponents.
While it would be incongruous to describe them as equals - Manchester United's turnover last year was £286million, Swansea's just £10m - next weekend they compete as such. Squeezed into his tiny cupboard of an office, provided for him by the health club where Swansea train, Rodgers is relishing the challenge.
'This club and this city have been waiting years to host such a great team, a great club and a genius of a manager,' says the man who took Swansea into the Premier League via last season's play-offs. 'It will be a brilliant occasion and for me there's real excitement.'
Growing reputation: Brendan Rodgers has enjoyed phenomenal success in the past 18 months with Swansea
Excitement and deep regret, too. Rodgers does not say it but he will surely feel it next Saturday evening, as the dusk descends on the Liberty Stadium before kick-off.
For the visit of United is the kind of occasion his mother and father would have relished. But while their son has enjoyed phenomenal success in the past 18 months, forging a reputation as one of the game's brightest young managers, 38-year-old Rodgers has also been a man in mourning, having lost both his parents at relatively young ages and at a time that has been the most successful and fulfilling period of his professional life.
The cruel irony of his loss is an obvious source of pain. 'My mum and dad had worked so hard all their lives,' he says. 'They had arrived at a good moment, seen their son develop his life and could get over to watch games and come and share in what you've done.
'Then, all of a sudden, they're gone. There's a real empty feeling, you know. I spoke to them every day, sometimes you get into the habit to phone, in the car, away to a game…' His words tail off. But there is no self-pity, just grief.
Two months ago, as Swansea struggled to find their feet in the Premier League and were being defeated by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, their manager was 400 miles away in Carnlough, a picturesque village of just 1,500 inhabitants perched on the County Antrim coast where, on a good, clear day, you can look across the Irish Sea to the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland.
In ordinary circumstances, the beaches, the pretty harbour and the glens would have made for a serene location. But in the early hours of that morning, Rodgers's father, Malachy, had died, aged 59. 'To be with him when he took his final breaths, that was important to me,' says Rodgers.
'He died on the day of the Arsenal game. I had been with him as much as I could. I was flying back to Northern Ireland every chance I had to spend time with him. Then, whenever it looked like he wasn't going to pull through, as much as I loved Swansea and as much as I love football, I needed to be with my father.'
Hard times: Swansea endured a tough start to life in the Premier League
The grief was so acute for Rodgers because only a few months before his father had been diagnosed with lung cancer, his mother, Christina, had died of a heart attack. She was aged just 53.
'She went out one morning to get her hair done, eyebrows done, all that stuff that women do,' says Rodgers. 'She came back in at a quarter to 11 and my dad went out.
'He said he was going to get a plug and he was on his way home when this ambulance came flying past him. Unbelievable. He thought, "Where's that going?" 'When he arrived down at our village, and our house is just on the edge, the ambulance was outside our house. My mum had collapsed and died.'
His was a tight family where his brothers, cousins, aunts and uncles grew up alongside each other, helping each other through tough times in the Seventies and Eighties.
'They had no fancy jobs,' says Rodgers. In fact, his father was a painter and decorator but his mother raised millions of pounds and ended up travelling the world as a volunteer for the Irish Catholic charity, Trocaire.
Tue faith: Rodgers has rebuilt his career at Swansea
When she died, Rodgers had only recently been sacked by Reading and was yet to be appointed at Swansea.
Now, amid his grief, he has rebuilt his career and is reviving the reputation of the club whose Premier League credentials many might have questioned.
'The time when I think is when I'm on my own in the car,' says Rodgers. 'To be at this level as a football manager, you have to be strong-willed. On my own I'll have my moments, of course, but the focus is very much on the job of turning our good performances into results.'
Swansea were on the verge of financial extinction and bottom of League Two just eight years ago. They were saved by their fans to rise into the Premier League. Even now, though, they hardly bear comparison to the men who will be their opponents on Saturday. While United have at their disposal the huge Carrington training complex, where a small army of security men prevent anyone bothering the players, Swansea's finest must mingle with young mums relaxing in the health club bar after their morning gym sessions.

But with more than a quarter of the season gone, Rodgers's players now sit 10th in the table. Since that Arsenal game they have not only achieved results but in some style. Last weekend they were applauded off the pitch at Anfield by Liverpool's own fans, impressed by the way Swansea had gained a 0-0 draw while, by some observers' reckoning, out-passing their more illustrious opponents.
'I said to the players afterwards, "Write that down in your diary. November 5, 2011: You got a standing ovation from the Anfield crowd. That doesn't happen often. I think iy was a measure of our performance and the respect they had for our game.The figures show that Swansea consistently out-pass their Premier League rivals, have more touches on the ball and pass more accurately. Nor are they a soft touch; Swansea have achieved five clean sheets in 11 games and all from a squad of desperados and rejects culled from the lower leagues.
Their 'Swanselona' nickname is well earned, for Rodgers likes Spain and its football so much that he learned the language in his spare time. 'My biggest influence has been Spanish and Dutch football, that Total Football idea,' he says. 'Barcelona have been doing it for years, since Johan Cruyff was coach.'
Perhaps inevitably, the tale returns to his father. 'He loved Brazilian sides. He loved gifted players and I suppose when you're brought up in that environment, you swing more towards that type. He was always keen for me to be a creator and a technician, so that was the influence for me.
'The British type of football never suited me as a player. It was very much smash it up the pitch and play the percentages. The only percentage I was interested in was possession and I didn't think it was rocket science. If we have the ball, you can't score, no matter how big or strong you are. I've always worked off that.'
At Reading, he had grown up as a youth team player but never made it to the first team. He rose to head the club's academy but they never quite absorbed his ideas. He implemented them so well at junior level, though, that he was poached by Jose Mourinho to join Chelsea. When he returned to Reading as manager, he lasted just six months before being sacked.
Swansea, whose chairman, Huw Jenkins, knew and liked his style, gave him a second chance. And the fans, as Rodgers points out, had been well schooled under the management of Roberto Martinez and Paulo Sousa before him.
'They understand what we're trying to achieve,' he said. 'But I could take this group of players to play the same football at other clubs and we wouldn't get the reaction we get from these fans.'
Pass masters: Brendan Rodgers salutes the fans after his side was clapped off the pitch at Anfield
At present, it is a mutual appreciation society. Club and fans have embraced a manager who reciprocates. 'From the age of 16, I was living in Reading, dominated by the city of London, which I loved but when I came here it was like home, really. I was back on the sea again having lived on the coast all my life as a child. What makes it is the people: they're real. It's the real world. There are areas that are deprived, areas that are really modern and improving. But they love life.'
On his desk is a commemorative plaque, made by a fan, which records the date, result and scorers of the club's first ever Premier League win: 3-0 against West Bromwich on September 17. It was a week after the death of his father and came in the week when four miners were killed at the Gleision Colliery in the Swansea Valley.
'That was a sort of monumental game,' says Rodgers. 'The disaster had happened, a young kid had also lost his life here, so it was an emotional time. I was fully aware that football can provide a beacon of hope. And we were very determined to get our season up and running.
'We're in the business of winning, irrespective of style. We understand that we're a million miles away from other people in terms of budget, the size of the club and our resources. But we're here to compete.'
That they are and, with no small thanks to Rodgers, they are doing so in style.
