The Best Dating Sites for Geeks and Nerds
Controversy[ edit ] Anthropologist Helen Fisher in What happens in the dating world can reflect larger currents within popular culture. For example, when the book The Rules appeared, it touched off media controversy about how men and women should relate to each other, with different positions taken by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd [58] and British writer Kira Cochrane of The Guardian.
Sara McCorquodale suggests that women meeting strangers on dates meet initially in busy public places, share details of upcoming dates with friends or family so they know where they'll be and who they'll be with, avoid revealing one's surname or address, and conducting searches on them on the Internet prior to the date.
Don't leave drinks unattended; have an exit plan if things go badly; and ask a friend to call you on your cell phone an hour into the date to ask how it's going. If you explain beautifully, a woman does not look to see whether you are handsome or not — but listens more, so you can win her heart.
Tinder, OKCupid, and the other best free dating and hookup apps of can help you finally meet your match.

The Credit Repair Organizations Act, or CROA, makes it illegal for credit repair companies to lie about their services and results, and sets some additional rules. If you think you might be the victim of a credit repair scam, or if you've had other issues with a credit repair company, you can submit a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The payment history of the individual can be a significant factor on their credit standing. Taking steps to make sure payments are up to date or improve the payment schedule for outstanding credit can beneficially affect their credit score. Furthermore, the amount of credit used by the individual can also play a role. For instance, if an individual is actively using large portions of the credit available to them, even if they are maintaining minimum payments on time, the size of the debt they are carrying can negatively affect their credit rating. The issue is that their liquidity may be pressured by the overall debt against them. By taking measures to reduce their overall debt load, they may see improvements to their credit profile.
"So far my experience with CreditRepair.com resulted in positive results. They have been working non-stop to help me repair my credit scores. I have hopes that in a few short months my score will continue to increase (which it has been steadily thanks to CreditRepair.com) so I will be able to start looking for my new home before the end of the year."
"I tried buying a new car a few months ago but I could barely get approved for a loan and if I did get approved the interest rate was above 20%. I decided to give CreditRepair.com a few months to work on my credit. I re-visited the dealerships this week and thanks to CreditRepair.com my score drastically improved and I was able to qualify for a very reasonable rate. Thank you CreditRepair.com, you literally improved my way of life."
The services provided by The Credit People are as you'd expect with a credit repair service: disputes, inquiries, interventions and validations. We like that they focus their results not just on removing negative items from your credit history, but also specifically on improving your credit score - so that you can more easily qualify for a loan or be selected as a tenant for a rental. We also appreciate that their approach to working with their clients is "How can we help?" with situations like trying to get interest rates lowered or to get a referral letter, going above and beyond the issues associated with your credit report.
When considering the fees, it's important to weigh what you're getting in return. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), credit repair firms can't legally do anything for you that you can't do for yourself. You just have to be willing to spend the time reviewing your credit reports for negative or inaccurate information, reaching out to the credit bureaus to dispute that information, and following up on those disputes to make sure they're being investigated.
Advancements in technology make it much less difficult for credit repair businesses to quickly start operating a successful credit repair business. The latest software that people use in this industry is all "cloud-based," and automates most credit repair related tasks. Thus, you can spend more time marketing and serving your customers. Also, an easy to use customer management screen will make it easy to find any customer's credit repair history in one place.
Can you count on Credit Repair Consultants to deliver? Probably not. According to the BBB, they requested documentation from the service in 2013 and 2014, to show that they were in compliance with the FTC's standards for credit repair. As of our review, the BBB still hadn't received it. We also saw that it took the company more than 6 months to respond to a customer complaint online, and that the most recent articles in the "Credit Repair News" section of the website was from nearly two years prior to our review.
The credit bureau usually has 30 days after receiving your dispute to investigate and verify information. Typically, the credit bureau will reach out to the company that provided the information and ask them to investigate. The credit bureau is required to send you the results of the investigation within five business days of the completion of the investigation.

There are a lot of reasons that your credit may be in rough shape. Most are related to your spending habits. And, if you missed a few payments or your debt levels are too high—think over 30% of your total available credit limits—disputing errors won't help you. You'll have to make some changes to improve your credit scores instead. And you may have to wait a bit to see an uptick.
Advanced customer management tool allows for your company to work together as a team to manage every single customer. You can add new customers and leads within seconds—once again, just a few clicks is all it takes. In addition, you can capture online leads directly from your site or blog by simply pasting a web form code onto your site using our "Web Lead Form" feature. The sign ups will be sent directly to you as new leads table, where your staff can follow up with future customers.
Essentials: for a one-time fee of $69 and monthly fees of $69, you'll get the basics of a personal case advisor, personalized dispute options, and an online dispute manager for tracking everything you submit to the various bureaus, agencies, and so forth. You'll also get access to financial management tools to help you budget for savings and paying down your debts.
When considering the fees, it's important to weigh what you're getting in return. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), credit repair firms can't legally do anything for you that you can't do for yourself. You just have to be willing to spend the time reviewing your credit reports for negative or inaccurate information, reaching out to the credit bureaus to dispute that information, and following up on those disputes to make sure they're being investigated.
Either way, you should always remove any errors or outdated information from your credit report — regardless of the actual effect on your score — as soon as you discover them. A clean credit report can give you peace of mind the next time you apply for a loan; you'll know that an inaccurate credit score isn't holding you back from qualifying for a better interest rate, saving you time and money in the long run.
With the elimination of downloadable credit repair software, companies found themselves with an old program in a new age world. Most credit repair software programs were made to facilitate 32-bit computers, which have now become a thing of the past. Having updated computer systems are a must when it comes to operating a successfully growing credit repair businesses, and outdated software will only inhibit and restrain your advancement.
A credit repair agency doesn't technically do anything that you can't do yourself, but the service is worth it for many people who find the DIY credit repair process time consuming and confusing. The best credit repair service combines financial education with proven techniques to remove negative items from your credit history. If your poor credit resulted from a complicated situation out of your control, such as identity theft, professional credit repair services save you time and effort.
Many credit repair leads fall flat when too much time is invested trying to acquire the client. Through the ability to digitally sign credit repair agreements, your company can keep a stronger hold on your potential client's attention. Advanced setting management: TurboDispute software provides separate settings to control different aspects of your business. You have dashboards for Customer Management, Referral Management, Affiliate Management, Account Management and Dispute Letter Management as well as Software Customization.
I have 1 negative item, and its just a really simple negative item that they haven't been able to remove in 6 months now. Theyre just sitting there collecting their monthly subscription money from me and not doing a thing. Couldve just payed the $300 debt off and had it removed already and would have cost me 10x less then I've paid to credit repair!! Ridiculous!!!!
"I worked with a different credit repair provider approximately 10 years ago. The experience then compared to my experience now with CreditRepair.com is completely different. I am a "skeptic" and do not trust credit repair businesses easily. The representatives are professional (always) and I have the opportunity to get text and email updates on every transaction that is performed on my behalf to improve my credit score. There is nothing I can think of that is not already being done that could improve the service."

MIRA does not have legal authority take legal action for non-tax payments: Supreme Court
In the case of Moosa Naseer v MIRA (2014/SC-A/41), the Supreme Court of Maldives on 22 June 2020, unanimously decided against the Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA) and held that MIRA does not have the legal authority to sue for lease rent due to the state.
The dispute between Moosa Naseer and the state originated due to non-payment of lease rent and fines under a commercial lease agreement formed in accordance with the Uninhabited islands of the Maldives Act (Law Number 20/98), between Moosa Naseer and the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture for the lease of Noonu Bandaidhidhoo for agricultural purposes. Between 2009 and 2011, the Ministry repeatedly notified Moosa Naseer to pay the outstanding lease rent and fines under the agreement to the MIRA – the states revenue collector. The MIRA, in 2011, sued Moosa Naseer in Civil Court for outstanding lease rent and fines owed under the lease agreement with the Ministry of Fisheries. The defendant contended that MIRA had no legal capacity, nor the legal authority to sue for the outstanding amounts. The Civil Court, however, ruled in favour of the MIRA and held that the then total outstanding amount in lease rent and fines of MVR 9,061,442/50 was to be settled with the MIRA within two months from the date of judgment. On appeal, the High Court of Maldives upheld the Civil Court's decision.
In the Supreme Courts ratio decidendi, Justice Mahaaz Ali Zahir noted that the MIRA did not have a legal basis to claim outstanding lease rent and fines under Section 3(c) and Section 49(a) of the Tax Administration Act (Law number 3/2010) (TAA). Justice Mahaaz opined that Section 3(c) and Section 49(a) of the TAA must be interpreted in accordance with Section 17 of the Interpretation Act of the Maldives; the powers granted to the MIRA under the Act, including the power to sue for unpaid amounts, must be construed to include tax and all amounts and fees related to tax. Further, the specific phrasing of Section 50 of the Act under which fees, rent, royalty or other such amounts which are required to be paid pursuant to an Act can be recovered by the MIRA using the powers under Chapter four of the Act, the amount in dispute in the case before the Supreme Court was not an amount owed under any Act.
The Supreme Court also decided that appellate level court proceedings should be based on the evidence and defences submitted at the trial stage. Moosa Naseer submitted certain defences regarding the calculation of lease rent and fines, and interpretations of certain provisions of the contract at the High Court which were not raised during the original trial.. The High Court, on this issue, decided that a decision need not be made by the High Court as Moosa Naseer had the opportunity to raise those defences at the trial stage and failed to do so. The Supreme Court agreed with the High Court's decision on this issue and further stated that new evidence can only be introduced at the High Court if there was no opportunity to submit such evidence during the trial stage. Additionally, the Supreme Court noted if the High Court finds that certain issues are not addressed by the trial court, such cases can be remanded to the trial court.
It was further noted that, as the MIRA is not a party to the agreement, the MIRA does not have locus standi and therefore, the case cannot be remanded to a lower court. Justice Mahaaz, in addressing this matter, said that there was no legal impediment for the parties to the agreement to seek legal remedy through court proceedings.
Justice Aisha Shujoon Mohamed, in support of Justice Mahaaz's opinion, also raised a salient point with respect to prospective application of the law in reference to Article 59 of the Constitution of the Maldives. Justice Shujoon opined that, even though the MIRA argued that the TAA granted the MIRA the power to recover non-tax revenue pursuant to Section 50 of the Act introduced by the first amendment to the TAA, that law cannot be retrospectively applied to an event that occurred prior to the assent of the Act.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II

Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Update: NBC News is reporting that the Defense Department has announced that the parade will be "postponed" to 2019.
The Pentagon said in a Thursday statement that it would "explore opportunities" in 2019 for President Donald Trump's military parade that originally had been set for November of this year.
That development came just hours after CNBC reported that the parade had been shaping up to cost $80 million more than initially estimated.
See the original story below:
As President Trump's planned military parade in Washington D.C, gets closer to becoming a reality, new estimates on the event's cost are now coming to light.
According to a report from CNBC, the Department of Defense an updated cost estimate puts the parade's price tag at $92 million, which is $80 million more than original estimate that put the cost at $12 million.
The updated price tag is sure to bolster criticism of the parade which has come from both sides of the political aisle.
From CNBC:
The $92 million cost estimate includes security, transportation of parade assets, aircraft, as well as temporary duty for troops. [A Pentagon official] noted that while the size and scope of the military parade can still shift, the plans currently include approximately eight tanks, as well as other armored vehicles, including Bradleys, Strykers and M113s.
The official also said that experts put to rest concerns about whether the Abrams tank, which weighs just shy of 70 tons, would ruin infrastructure in Washington. Their analysis found that, because of the vehicle's distributed weight and track pads, the streets of the nation's capital would not be compromised.
The parade is also expected to include helicopter, fighter jet, transport aircraft as well as historical military plane flyovers. Troops in period uniforms representing the past, present and future forces will march in the parade, as well.
When Trump first floated the idea of a military parade, critics slammed the notion for being reminiscent of the traditions of totalitarian governments and military dictatorships. Although Trump reportedly got the idea during his trip to France where he was impressed by the country's Bastille Day parade, some say he had the idea before that. His presidential transition team reportedly pushed for a "Red Square/North Korea-style" inaugural parade complete with columns of troops, tanks, and missile launchers — an idea that was initially rejected by the Pentagon.
Our 72-year-old President with an approval rating well below 50% is throwing a military parade for himself, but please tell me more about how millennials all want "participation trophies".
— The Volatile Mermaid (@OhNoSheTwitnt) August 16, 2018
In a piece for Lawfare this February, Dakota S. Rudesill writes that a "Red Square-style parade in America would send the wrong signal to the world at the wrong time."
"A quarter century after democracy's apparent triumph in the Cold War, China and Russia are trying to sell the world on the propositions that American democracy, ideals, and traditions do not work, and that militaristic authoritarian regimes running crony-capitalist economies are the future," Rudesill writes. "Republics from Turkey up through Eastern Europe are sliding into illiberal—i.e., increasingly authoritarian—democracy. With a national security interest in the global progress of liberty, it is not in our interest to see American troops ordered to participate in a spectacle that to much of the world would look like parades in the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Russia today, and a host of other dictatorships including North Korea."
Speaking to CNBC, a spokesperson for the Pentagon said that the Defense Department would make an announcement about the updated cost soon.
The parade is expected to start at the Capitol, continue past the White House, and end at the National Mall.

Thomas Zeltner
|Chairman WHO Foundation, physician, lawyer, and former Secretary of Health of Switzerland
|Known for
|Former Secretary of Health of Switzerland; co-founder of the Global Patient Safety Forum; Professor of Public Health at the University of Berne, Switzerland; Visiting Scientist at the Harvard School of Public Health; President of the Swiss Commission for UNESCO; and Board Member of the Medical University of Vienna
Thomas Zeltner (born 1947 in Berne, Switzerland) is a Swiss physician, lawyer, and former Secretary of Health of Switzerland Federal Department of Home Affairs FDHA. He has a long history in public health and has repeatedly been ranked among the 12 most influential political figures of Switzerland. [1]
Zeltner is Professor at the University of Berne, Switzerland, in Public Health and Visiting Scientist at the Harvard School of Public Health. He chairs the Swiss Research Institute for Public Health and Addiction (Zürich) and is President of UNESCO Commission of Switzerland. He advises the Swiss government in the implementation and future development of The National Health Policy. He is also the Vice Chair of the University Council of the Medical University of Vienna.
He is the first chairman of the WHO Foundation established in Geneva.
Along with J. Michael Henderson, he is a co-founder of the Global Patient Safety Forum, a collaborative forum for global healthcare leaders. He is President of KPT Health Insurance, Switzerland and of Swiss Transfusion SRC Inc.
Zeltner was graduated with an M.D. and an LL.M. (master's in law) from the University of Berne. He specialized in human pathology and forensic medicine before becoming the head of Medical Services at the Bern University Hospital. He held various faculty positions at the University of Bern and at the Harvard School of Public Health. He is Doctor of law (honoris causa) of the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
In 1991, the Swiss Government appointed Zeltner as the 8th Director-General of the Swiss National Health Authority and Secretary of Health of Switzerland, a position he held until the end of 2009.
Under Zeltner's leadership, Switzerland developed in 1991 a pioneering illicit drug policy, which has received global attention. It is based on a 4-pillar strategy (prevention, harm reduction, therapy, and law enforcement), which is enshrined in the Swiss law on narcotic drugs. The harm reduction policy of Switzerland – which includes large-scale syringe exchange programs (also in prisons) [2] and the medical prescription of heroin for chronic heroin addicts – was introduced against the strong opposition of the UN drug control authorities, [3] but endorsed by a majority of the Swiss population in several popular referenda. [4]
In 1999-2000, at the request of the then-Director General of WHO, Gro Harlem Brundtland, Zeltner chaired a committee which investigated the efforts of multinational tobacco companies to undermine tobacco control activities of the World Health Organization (2000). [5] This landmark report marks the beginning of the development of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (2003). [6] With his efforts to reduce tobacco consumption in Switzerland, Zeltner became a favorite adversary of big tobacco and was nicknamed "the Tobacco Taliban." [7]
As Director General of the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health, he presided over changes to transform the regulated market model of the Swiss health care sector into a more value- and consumer-driven health care system. The Swiss model guarantees access to affordable insurance to all, even if they have pre-existing medical problems. All residents are required to buy insurance even if they are currently healthy, so that the risk pool remains reasonably favorable. Finally subsidies are given to low income families to pay for their premiums. Even though the Swiss pay 12.18% of the GDP for health (data 2018), [8] a majority of 78% considers that the system works well or very well. [9] The Swiss health care model is gaining increased international interest, particularly in the U.S. [10]
Zeltner was a member and Vice-President of the Executive Board of the World Health Organization (WHO) (1999-2002). He chaired the committee to reform the governance rules of the WHO in 2002-4. He was also Executive President of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe (1994–95) and Chairman of the Governing Council of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, (1998-2000). Between 2012 and 2014, Zeltner served the World Health Organization (WHO) in the capacity of a Special Envoy. [11] In this function he advised the Director General of WHO, Margaret Chan, in critical areas of the ongoing reform of this UN agency [12] [13] . The work was successfully completed by adoption of the Framework of Engagement with Non-State Actors (FENSA) by the World Health Assembly in May 2016.
He is co-founder of the Global Patient Safety Forum, a convening organization of world patient safety organizations; and a member of the steering board of the Global Patient Safety Challenge, Medication Safety, of the World Health Organization. He is a member of the editorial board of the journal Health Systems and Reform.
Since 1992, he has been Professor of Public Health at the University of Berne and is a Visiting Scientist at the Harvard School of Public Health (Boston). From 2018-22 he serves as a member of the Board of the Medical University of Vienna (Austria). Zeltner has served as Chairman of the board of the health insurer KPT, the leading online insurance company in Switzerland, which is repeatedly qualified as the best health insurer of Switzerland.

Drug policy reform, also known as drug law reform, is any proposed changes to the way governments respond to the socio-cultural influence on perception of psychoactive substance use. Proponents of drug policy reform believe that prohibition of drugs—such as cannabis, opioids, cocaine, amphetamines and hallucinogens—has been ineffectual and counterproductive. They argue that, rather than using laws and enforcement as the primary means to responding to substance use, governments and citizens would be better served by reducing harm and regulating the production, marketing, and distribution of currently illegal drugs in a manner similar to how alcohol and tobacco are regulated.

Health policy can be defined as the "decisions, plans, and actions that are undertaken to achieve specific healthcare goals within a society". According to the World Health Organization, an explicit health policy can achieve several things: it defines a vision for the future; it outlines priorities and the expected roles of different groups; and it builds consensus and informs people.

The scientific community in United States and Europe are primarily concerned with the possible effect of electronic cigarette use on public health. There is concern among public health experts that e-cigarettes could renormalize smoking, weaken measures to control tobacco, and serve as a gateway for smoking among youth. The public health community is divided over whether to support e-cigarettes, because their safety and efficacy for quitting smoking is unclear. Many in the public health community acknowledge the potential for their quitting smoking and decreasing harm benefits, but there remains a concern over their long-term safety and potential for a new era of users to get addicted to nicotine and then tobacco. There is concern among tobacco control academics and advocates that prevalent universal vaping "will bring its own distinct but as yet unknown health risks in the same way tobacco smoking did, as a result of chronic exposure", among other things.

In this 29th week match, on Thursday Jul 2nd, Roma will host Udinese at Stadio Olimpico in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Serie A teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 0 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Roma sits at 5th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 4-3 win against Cagliari, and Roma is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while 14th placed Udinese is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Torino, and Udinese looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
As of right now the betting odds favour AS Roma to win.
In their last match on Oct 30th, Roma took the match by a score of 4 to 0 in front of almost 24000 dissapointed spectators. Nicolò Zaniolo scored the first goal for Roma in the 13th minute, then Chris Smalling added another in the 51st minute In the end, Udinese couldn't muster any offence and Roma ran away with the shutout win.
Rodrigo De Paul and Stefano Okaka are the top scorers for Udinese in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It's hard to imagine having success with those stats. Both Edin Džeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have been the hottest scorers for Roma in the last five each having scored 3 goals each.

Getting us to our fathers funeral !
As some of you know my father Todd Fesperman took his own life Friday June 5th, 2020 at his parents home in Clarksville, TN. He battled mental illness for most of his life and the isolation from the lockdowns and pandemic made things worse. My sisters and I all reside in the Cleveland, Ohio area and are trying to raise enough money to be able to travel to Tennessee to attend his service. Thanks you all for your support and donations during this very difficult and confusing time.

Budgets aren't sexy, but they are one of the major prerequisites of high-performing marketing organizations.
And the trick to developing a best-in-class marketing budget is, first, to form a new conceptualization of what marketing is; then, to know the correct budget type for your growth stage; and, finally, to understand the power of stretch budgets.
If you can master those three keys, you'll create a best-in-class marketing budget—and be well on your way to marketing success.
1. The best marketing budgets start with new ideas about what Marketing is
It's no surprise that high-performing marketers average 14 marketing tools, double that of underperformers, according to the State of Marketing 2017 report by Salesforce. Moreover, high-performing marketing organizations plan to increase their spending on tools and technology in the coming year, the report also found.
So, those high-performers have not only larger budgets already but also plans to grow those budgets significantly still.
Best-in-class marketing budgets don't just happen; the highest levels of the business support them. We have all tried to ask for more money—only to be told "no." High-performers don't have that issue, because their executives have a better understanding of what it takes to be a high-performing marketing organizing.
In short, they understand marketing and best-in-class marketing budgets aren't what they used to be.
Take the first step (it's free).
