Although the human skin can renew itself time and time again, the years do catch up, and we are left wishing we can go back to our younger years. While we can't truly turn back time, we might just be able to do it for our skin—with the right treatment.
One of the first noticeable signs of aging are lines and wrinkles, and while most products focus on the face, some people forget the years show up on our necks too. In this article, we compare three products to come up with what we believe is the best skin firming cream for face and neck.
But first, how important are firming creams and do they honestly work?A lot of companies sell skin lifting and firming creams and promise to provide a "facelift-in-a-bottle" claim to sell their products.
Avoid products that claim they can do for your skin what normally takes medical procedures to do. Nothing is going to lift your face or neck as well as a facelift procedure, but some products can help your skin look "lifted" by making it more plump and supple.
Wrinkles and fine lines will not magically disappear and definitely not immediately, but they can be reduced or significantly diminished.
Carefully look at each product's ingredients to make sure that it can deliver on its promise and check that it does not contain any harmful ingredients or harsh chemicals.
We've selected Country Dream Body Anti-Cellulite and Body Firming Cream, L'oreal Revitalift Face And Neck Cream, and Glow Neck Firming Cream to review. Each of the three products fit our simple requirements: they must work on all skin types and ethnicities.
Glaucine – it stimulates lipolysis and is considered as an anti-cellulite ingredient.
Shea butter, sunflower, grape seed, and sweet almond oils and squalene – they provide toning and firming action. They also decrease dryness, smooth over dry and scaly skin, and create a moisturizing barrier for reducing transdermal water loss.
Olive leaf, gingko biloba, and red, white and green tea extracts – They work as free radical scavengers and function as sun damage protection. They also decrease the appearance of wrinkles.
Niacin and Vitamin E – repairs skin and diminishes the appearance of lines.
93% of Country Dream's ingredients are naturally-derived. Both men and women can use it for the face and body. It can also be worn as a base or under makeup.It is fragrance-free and is light and gentle even for sensitive skin.
It dries quickly and does not leave the skin feeling greasy. It has lovely moisturizing qualities and helps reduce the appearance of cellulite by toning the skin.
The cream contains three ingredients that may cause the skin to break out: squalene, almond oil, and shea butter.
L'oreal Revitalift Face And Neck Cream is packaged in a 1.7 fl oz jar. This cream's main ingredients are Pro-Retinol A and Stimuplex which increase cell turnover, firm skin, reduce wrinkles, and provide 24-hour moisturization.It is best used daily after washing, alone or under makeup.
L'oreal Revitalift Face And Neck Cream has a very thick consistency yet is easy to apply. It has a light pleasant scent.It is non-greasy, does not feel heavy on the face, and will not mess up your makeup or cause it to slide off.
The cream makes the skin look smoother, and wrinkles and fine lines are substantially diminished. Results can usually be seen in four weeks.The price is excellent considering that the product is made by a well-known brand.
This cream contains eight acne-causing ingredients namely palmitic acid, stearic acid, stearyl alcohol, Triethanolamine, Peg-20 Stearate, Myristyl Myristate, Glyceryl Stearate, and Cetyl Alcohol.
Glycolic and Hydroxy Acids – These ingredients boost collagen production and cell renewal.
Royal Jelly Preserve, Bee Propolis, Enzymes, and Restore Proteins – These work together to help you achieve incredible anti-aging benefits.
Hyaluronic Acid – This holds moisture to help plump up your tired skin and fine lines.
Vitamin C – Provides antioxidant protection and restores the skin's youthful glow.
The firming cream also contains Retinol, Jojoba and Coconut oil, and CoQ10 Age Defence.It explicitly targets sagging skin, wrinkles, crow's feet, and fine lines. It is used for the neck, face, and décolleté.
This product blends in and penetrates the skin quickly. It soothes and smooths skin.It has a light, clean scent and the product is contained in a nice spill-proof jar.
When the product gets too low in the pump bottle, there is difficulty in accessing the rest of the cream.It also contains three mildly comedogenic ingredients – jojoba, primrose, and macadamia nut oils.It does not provide much difference regarding firming or toning the skin.
As with all comparisons, one has to choose which holds its own better than the rest. In this case, we needed to determine what we think is the best skin firming cream for face and neck. We carefully looked at each product's ingredients, price, and effectivity in delivering on its promises.
While L'oreal's Revitalift is the most affordable and delivers good results; it does contain eight comedogenic ingredients that people with acne-prone skin would do well to avoid. Glow Spa Formula's price is mid-range, and the ingredients are top-notch, but it does not do much for the skin except provide moisture.
Country Dream Spa's firming cream is a bit pricier than the other two, but it gets our vote for containing mostly naturally-derived ingredients, delivering excellent results, and being gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.

Bono Meets Pope Francis, Discusses Catholic Child Sex Abuse Scandals
Bono, the lead singer of rock group U2, met with Pope Francis at the Vatican Wednesday where the two talked in part about the multiple child sex abuse scandals.
Bono spoke with the Roman Catholic Church leader for more than 30 minutes, the Catholic News Agency reported, where the singer said that Francis was "incredibly gracious with his time, his concentration."
He told journalists that the two "let the conversation go where it wanted to go," and that they discussed big themes, such as sustainable development and environmental goals.
The Irish icon admitted that they also touched upon the sex abuse scandals that have been sweeping through the Catholic Church around the world for decades, including in the U.S. and Ireland.
Bono said that he and Francis "inevitably" spoke about "the pope's feelings about what has happened in the Church."
The U2 lead singer told the pontiff that to some, it looks like "the abusers are being more protected than the victims." He said that "he could see the pain" in the Vatican leader's face about the issue.
"I felt he was sincere, and I think he's an extraordinary man for extraordinary times," Bono said.
Fresh accusations that major church figures shielded priests accused of sexually abusing children have scandalized the Catholic Church this year, with Francis himself also caught up in the scandal.

Q: How to detect right endpoints in Sweep-line algorithm I am wondering in Sweep line algorithm how do we detect a right endpoints of a shapes (Circle or Rectangle) as we use a sweep vertical line scanning from left to right ? so the algorithm is basically that whenever we hit a left endpoints then insert into a interval tree of that shape's y-intervals, and when we hit the right endpoints of any shape then we remove it from the interval tree. For example
    ArrayList<Circle> circles = new ArrayList<Circle>();
    BinarySearchTree<Interval> intervalTree = new BinarySearchTree<Interval>();

    //sort by x coordinate
    Collections.sort(circles, new Comparator<Circle>(){
          @Override
          public int compareTo(Circle c1, Circle c2){
                return c1.x - c2.x;
          }
    });

    //here's where the sweep line begins
    for(int i = 0; i < circle.size(); i++)
    {
          //we hit the ith circle's left endpoint
          Circle current = circle.get(i);

          //insert into the interval tree
          intervalTree.addInterval(new Interval(current.y, current.y+current.height));

    }

but when do we know if we reach the right endpoint of a Circle ? Do we need another hashmap for that ?

A: public enum EventType {
    START,
    END;
}

public class EventPoint implements Comparable<EventPoint> {
    public EventType type;
    public double x;
    public Circle circle;
    public Interval interval;

    public EventPoint(EventType type, double x,
            Circle circle, Interval interval) {
        this.type = type;
        this.x = x;
        this.circle = circle;
        this.interval = interval;
    }

    /**
     * Compare this EventPoint with another. This is used by the priority
     * queue to determine the "minimum" event.
     */
    public int compareTo(EventPoint other) {
        return Double.compare(x, other.x);
    }

    /** Creates a start event, with a circle. */
    public static EventPoint start(double x, Circle circle) {
        return new EventPoint(START, x, circle, null);
    }

    /** Creates an end event, with an interval. */
    public static EventPoint end(double x, Interval interval) {
        return new EventPoint(END, x, null, interval);
    }
}

PriorityQueue<EventPoint> events = new PriorityQueue<EventPoint>();
BinarySearchTree<Interval> intervalTree = new BinarySearchTree<Interval>();

// Initialize all the start events, and include the corresponding circle.
for (Circle c : circles) {
    events.add(EventPoint.start(c.x, c));
}

while (!events.isEmpty()) {

    // Remove the minimum (leftmost) event from the queue
    EventPoint ep = events.poll();

    switch (ep.type) {

        case START:
            Circle current = ep.circle;
            // (Look for intersections in the interval tree...)

            // Create an interval and add it to the interval tree
            Interval interval = new Interval(current.y, current.y +
                    current.height);
            intervalTree.add(interval);

            // Add an end-event to the queue, and include the interval for
            // later removal.
            events.add(EventPoint.end(current.x + current.width, interval));

            break;

        case END:
            // Remove the interval from the interval tree.
            intervalTree.remove(ep.interval);
            break;
    }

It's taken me a week to decompress from my fourth QuickBooks Connect. It's one of my favorite conferences, not just for the accounting industry, but of all those I've attended throughout my career's various endeavors. As always, the education, networking, swag, and food were top-notch.
Every year I set a goal for my attendance. My first year, I spent my time doing QBO workshops and learning about 3rd party apps in the trade show. My second year's goal was to network, network, network, and meet as many people as possible. By the end of my second QBO, I decided my goal for year 3 was to be a speaker, and in my third year, yes, I gave a workshop about QBO's Mobile App for iPad!
For year 4, my plan was to have fun, and deepen my relationships. Over the last five years I've had productive bookkeeping conversations on Facebook in several groups including BWAM, Appasaurus Rex, and ABBO. I started my own QuickBooks Training Events group to give Intuit teachers a place to list their classes. Nine people attended from my local Portland Woodard Group, and I was also happy for the opportunity to spend time with those lovely ladies outside our monthly luncheons.
I even met my virtual VA, Audrey Isbell, for the first time after working with her for over a year!
In my previous career when I used to make astrology jewelry, my company (Wandering Star) threw a hotel room shindig at every conference, so I brought the idea to our Portland Woodard Group. Together we decided to throw a party! Jennifer Dymond dubbed it "The Calm Before the Storm," and it was a great opportunity to reconnect with friends I'd make online and at previous conferences. By holding it the night before the conference started, we got quality time with Billie Anne Grigg, Peter Cullen, Steffanie Anderson, Ingrid Edstrom, and a long list of other stellar colleagues. We had a trivia contest for prizes ("Name 3 accounting professionals [not counting me] with rainbow hair."). It was nice catching up, and meeting new people! Dymond dubbed it "The First Annual…", so hopefully we'll get to do it again next year.
At conferences, I myself generally enjoy hard-skills classes, software techniques that I can immediately use back in the office. In 2017, most of QBC's workshops were soft skills for business growth and development. That turned out to be a benefit, now that my QuickBooks skills are solid and my company is entering a growth phase.
Wednesday was a long, exciting day. I caught a few of Heather Satterley's excellent classes about QB Self-Employed, and Zapier for automation. I was torn between Hector Garcia's YouTube session, which is exactly our business model at Royalwise.com, and Kacee Johnson's workshop about Year-Round Marketing Strategies. My team asked me to go to the latter, since we already make training videos, and we are developing our first written marketing plan. Although I got great, usable tips from Kacee about marketing research and social media, my heart was with Hector and I wish I could have been in two places at once!
QBC gives us plenty of opportunities to network and gather. Stacey Kildal & Richard Roppa-Roberts's BWAM/AREX in the morning, an Intuit Speaker/Writer meetup, Carrie Kahn's CBG Partner Dinner, the always-fun T-Sheets party.
I finished with late-night ice cream for Beth Damis's birthday with Barry McQuarrie, Cindy Moore, and Heather Satterley. We even ran into Rich Preece and got him to taste our delicious locally-made dairy-free mint chocolate chip! It's those delightful silly moments that create lasting impressions.
Thursday was my education day. I went to several sessions to learn QBO techniques for specific industries. Gregg Bossen demonstrated a slick creative workaround to send Thank You letters to non-profit donors using QBO. I'd never thought of using an Invoice like a Sales Receipt so that you could use templates imported from Word! Gita Faust showed how to use QBO for Real Estate investors and flippers, using sub-customers, locations, and classes. I was happy that we could download the slides from qbcommunity.com!
I would be remiss not to mention the food. Intuit fed us well. All the meals and snacks were healthy. People with food sensitivities were not limited in their choices at the gourmet buffets. And we were treated to beer and wine each evening.
We ended the night with a concert by the Spazmatics, geeky-looking guys playing 80's hits with great choreography. Intuit sure knows its QBC target audience!
By Friday, I was pretty burnt out, so I spent the morning touring the Updown and Downtown 3rd party app developers. One standout was Locate, a new QBO Inventory app that tracks raw materials that were offsite with manufacturers. I also enjoyed the new Marketplace with small businesses crafting gifts. I bought Hanukkah presents for several family members!
In addition to the education and the workshops, Main Stage was filled with celebrities and entrepreneurs. Inspiration abounded, a stage full of people just like you and I who ran with their ideas. Their passion was contagious. This year the stage was full of strong, smart, funny women and many people of color, including Lisa Ling and Shonda Rhimes. I was glad to see a cross-section of business owners that reflects our diverse population.
The week finished off with Chris Pan from myintent.org. He encouraged us to choose a word that encompassed our goals. My own was "Enhance." My goal with Royalwise.com is to enhance your business through technology education; my growing success enhances my family.
All attendees received one of Chris's bracelets as a parting gift. Intuit's chosen word for all of us was "Together." You may have noticed how many people I mentioned just in the context of this article, and this was just a short summary of my amazing week (please don't take it personally if I didn't mention you by name!). I came away thrilled at how many people I'm growing to know and love. Everyone at all levels is generous with their time, wisdom, experience, and advice. I'm impressed with the good vibes. And I'm grateful that I've been able to find my niche in QuickBooks education, a perfect fit for this geek girl with a Masters in Teaching.
We are all in this Together, helping businesses grow and succeed using QuickBooks.

The Helsinki Book Fair took place from Thursday the 22nd to Sunday the 25th of October, and I attended the event on Saturday and quickly on Sunday. The HBF is an annual book fair held in the Messukeskus Convention Centre that brings together readers, authors, booksellers and publishers. This year over 80,000 visitors gathered at the Convention Centre to celebrate books. Aside from promoting Finnish literature and reading in general, each year also features a guest of honour country. This year the guest of honour was Russia, which meant that a number of Russian authors – and their translators – held talks or took part in panel discussions at the event. Unfortunately I didn't have time to catch up with any of these, so I cannot give you an up-to-date report on the contemporary Russian literature scene. I clearly need to up my blogging game. This was my third time attending the book fair, to which I was kindly sent a blogger's pass by the fair organizers.
This year my calendar was too full to spend the entire book fair weekend in Helsinki, which meant I only got to experience the hustle and bustle of the Convention Centre for one and a half days. Still, it is wonderful how the time spent walking from stall to stall, chatting with friends and catching up with people you haven't seen in a while can be so uplifting and fulfilling. Time flew by as I focused on taking in and participating in the book fair experience. I listened with rapt attention as one of my favourite Finnish authors recalled the books she enjoyed as a child; I leapt for joy when I found the Finnish edition of The Rabbit Back Literature Society underneath a big pile of second-hand books; and I admired together with my friend the details of the cover poster of the new illustrated Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Although I sometimes feel that I know more about what's going on in the literary scene outside of Finland than within, it was hard not to spot the two "queens of literature" of this year's Helsinki Book Fair: Katja Kettu and Sofi Oksanen. Katja Kettu is a contemporary Finnish female author whose books have captured the hearts of the public and projected their darkest secrets into the pages of her novels. Her bestseller Kätilö (eng. The Midwife) was recently made into a film and the rights for English translation have been sold to AmazonCrossing – expected publication date sometime in early 2016. Her latest novel came out weeks before the book fair and the reviews have all been extremely positive. Kettu is definitely high on my author TBR!
Sofi Oksanen, of Purge and When the Doves Disappeared fame, is already a household name in Finland and her latest novel, Norma, was possibly the most anticipated release of this year. Norma centres around the eponymous Norma Ross, a young woman with luscious and constantly growing hair that holds magical powers. The novel is said to intertwine reality with magical realism, crime, and sexual politics. From what I've heard of this novel, it sounds wonderful and I can't wait to read it!
Although events such as the Helsinki Book Fair focus mainly on promoting new books, my favourite parts of the fair are the second-hand book shops and the panel discussions. I adore going through piles and shelves filled with old books, looking for new titles that I haven't yet read or titles that I've read through library and would like to get my own copy. I guess it's the joy of discovery that makes second-hand book shopping so addicting; you never know what you'll find. This year three of my four purchases were second-hand.
Aside from books and reading, I think it's also fun to listen in on discussions. I sat in on a few panel discussions, ranging from the multitude of Finnish idioms to investigative journalism, but my favourite of this year's HBF was the panel discussion on e-reading and ebooks. The panel consisted of both online innovators, literary critics and editors plus the presenter of Fabula, a new ebook service that launched in Finland this autumn. In short, Fabula is the Finnish version of Oyster and the concept is already in use in Estonia and Latvia. The panel questions were constructed around the topic of reading versus online media, and all of the panelists had their own insights to give. The main question of the panel discussion, i.e. Will the subscription model help to boost the industry and lure in new readers?, was left unanswered, but the panelist all presented valid arguments and shared their ideas of ebooks. There were so many interesting points to this discussion, that I'll probably write a separate post about it!
All in all, I had a wonderful time at the Helsinki Book Fair. In the midst of the craziness that is Master's, the weekend served as the best type of relaxation. I'm holding fast to my opinion from last year – Should there ever be a heaven for book lovers, it might be a book fair of sorts.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce. I haven't read any Joyce, but I've heard this is a good place to start with him. The cover of this Oxford Classics edition is brilliant.
Kadonnut Pariisi by Markus Nummi. Markus Nummi is the author of Kiinalainen puutarha (eng. The Chinese Garden) which I read (and loved) earlier this autumn. The cover of this one is a bit … quirky, but the premise, that is, Paris has disappeared from the surface of the Earth, is exciting.
The Rabbit Back Literature Society by Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen (the Finnish edition). I got this from the library earlier this year and loved it so much that I needed to get my own copy. So glad to add this to my collection!

Those two authors sound fabulous! Enjoy A Portrait of the Artist, it's great.

Transcribed from "History of North Washington, an illustrated history of Stevens, Ferry, Okanogan and Chelan counties", published by Western Historical Publishing Co., 1904.
JOHN WALSH, of Chelan, Chelan county, first came into the lake country as early as 1886, in company with Judge Navarre, David Correll and Archibald Libby. He was born in Livingston county, New York, April 23, 1855, the son of Michael and Catherine (Barrett) Walsh, natives of Ireland. When nineteen years of age Michael Walsh came to this country and located in Geneseo, New York, as a farmer, where he still resides. He served in the federal forces during the Civil war, and was wounded on the famous "March to the Sea," while with General Sherman. The mother, Catherine, came to the United States accompanied by two sisters two years after the arrival of her future husband. They were married at Geneseo. She died in the fall of 1889.
Until 1880 our subject remained on the farm in New York, and that year he went to Michigan, worked in the woods, and the following spring went to Denver, Colorado, where he hauled brick for "Brick" Pomeroy's new house and barn. In 1883 he came to Washington, at first to Yakima, and located a timber claim which he was compelled to abandon on account of a scarcity of water. On coming to the lake country he first located on the Douglas county side of the river, nearly opposite Chelan Landing, and here he began raising stock, continuing the business profitably for six years. He then came to Chelan and, in 1892, engaged in the saloon business, selling out the same later. Mr. Walsh owns a half section of land, devoted to wheat, five miles from Waterville, which he rents. He and wife own timber claims four miles south of the lake, aside from a fine home in Chelan. He has four brothers, Frank, a Douglas county farmer; Richard, of Chicago; Timothy, of Buffalo, New York; and Thomas of North Bloomfield, New York. His three sisters are Nancy, wife of Michael McCarty; Margaret and Mary, single, residing in the old home.
Our subject was married, August 22, 1889, at North Yakima, to Bridget Jordan, a native of Ireland. Her father, James, is dead.

Have you ever been to a city that makes you feel happy? You know when you walk around and admire the city and all it has to offer and suddenly you're at peace? I like to call that a soul mate city. London is definitely a soul mate city for me.
If you've been to London before, you probably know what I mean. The history, the amazing architecture, the art, the iconic sites, the charming spots throughout the city, and the pubs all over that are truly all unique … it really is a magical place.
I could (and may just) write tons of posts on things to do and places to go in London alone. But for now, let's highlight a few of my London spots you can't miss on your next trip there.
Museums – I'm a museum freak and could go on and on ad nauseum about the cool museums to visit. But I'll keep it brief so as not to bore you.
British Museum – This museum is a seriously cool place to go, especially if you are a big history buff. You'll see Egyptian mummies, sarcophagi, and art. Ancient art from Greece, Rome, Syria, China, Japan (you get the idea) that will take your breath away. And incredible statues that graced temples and palaces, and even the sculptures from the Parthenon, which I'm pretty conflicted about. And yes, the Rosetta Stone is even here, which is sooo cool!
The British Museum is a spot that is full of adventure!
The National Gallery – This museum is an amazing, can't-miss spot for art connoisseurs. Here's you'll find England's painting collection from the Western European tradition dating from the 13th to 19th centuries on display. It's pretty amazing when you can walk through a museum and see one recognizable painting after another. I have to say their Turner paintings are some of my favorites.
Tate Modern – If you love modern and contemporary art, then this is the museum for you. I'm personally a big fan of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, so those are the exhibits I love the most. And if you love looking at art that leaves you scratching your head (or at least are intrigued by it), then you'll really enjoy what Tate Modern has to offer. I love going there for the cool architecture, because the museum is built in an old power station on the banks of the Thames … the way they converted it into a museum is seriously cool!
Tate Modern is packed with art ranging from iconic pieces to cool and wacky!
Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in London – If none of the above interests you (or even if it does!) and you're a big fan of pop culture, then be sure you check out Madame Tussauds. This is the well known wax museum that will knock your socks off with every turn. Get your pictures taken with the Royal family and check out all 6 James Bonds (although this is just a six week exhibition). All of your favorite stars are here including Audrey Hepburn, The Terminator, ET, among a few, including a favorite of mine, Tom Jones! It's a really fun spot. While the other museums are free to the public, this one is not … so be prepared to pay, but it's a really great time!
Tower of London – If you love history, and want to tour the Tower and all of it's gory glory … then this is the place for you. It's impressive to learn how the site was built and all of the historical figures who have been locked up (and maybe even lost their head) here.
A Walk Along the Thames – The River Thames winds its way through Central London. One of my favorite ways to take in the city's architecture is to stroll along the walkways that line the Thames. You'll see everything including Big Ben, Parliament, the London Eye, Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge & Tower of London. An easy, safe, and cool way to cross the river is to go across the Millennium Bridge, which is a pedestrian bridge.
I just love people watching in London. Everyone is very go, go, go. And a walk along the Thames is a perfect place to people watch and see some amazing sites.
High Tea – If you can afford it (about $100 a person) High Tea at The Ritz is a fun experience, I've been told. But get that British culture with high tea at lots of great venues around the city. I had my first high tea at The Orangery by Kensington Palace.
Oh how I've remembered walking by this sign many times wondering if I'll get to go to The Ritz … well this year the answer was: Absolutely!
For a stroll with that gorgeous vibe we got from "Notting Hill", walk around areas of the city on the edge of Central London that have more of a quiet feel like Notting Hill, Kensington, and Knightsbridge. You just never know who you might walk by … my sister and I totally walked past HUGH GRANT in Kensington one of the days we were in that neighborhood!!!
Explore some of the outer edges of Central London for a more quiet, yet equally beautiful, part of the city!
Venture Out – Hop on the train and go on some day trips if you have time. I have some great memories of trips to Bath, Oxford, Brighton, and even closer to the city and visit Hampton Court Palace (where Henry the 8th lived), Canary Wharf, Richmond, and Greenwich (to the Royal Observatory for a gorgeous view and to stand in two hemispheres on the Prime Meridian).
To say I could go on and on is a total understatement, but this list is a great start of places spots not to miss out on in London.
I hope you enjoy and that this helps you get ideas for YOUR next trip to London.
Stay inspired & travel often!

PROVIDENT FINANCIAL ALERT: Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. is Investigating Provident Financial Services, Inc. on Behalf of Stockholders and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm
February 11, 2020, 6:30 PM ·3 min read
Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized shareholder law firm, is investigating potential claims against Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE:PFS) on behalf of Provident stockholders. Our investigation concerns whether Provident has violated the federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices.
Click here to participate in the action.
On April 27, 2018, Provident released its financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2018, disclosing "deterioration in selected commercial credits, including a $15.4 million credit to a commercial borrower" that had filed for bankruptcy in March 2018. Provident also disclosed that the Company had established a $2.5 million specific reserve for this loan.
On July 5, 2018, Provident disclosed that the Company expected an additional reserve would be required for the remaining balance of the previously disclosed $15.4 million credit, and that its net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 would be reduced by as much as $9.3 million, after tax, or up to $0.14 per diluted share.
Then, on July 27, 2018, Provident released its financial results for the second fiscal quarter of 2018, disclosing that two additional loans from another commercial borrower became impaired during the quarter, leading to a net charge-off of $4 million. Provident's Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") Christopher Martin stated that the losses "were primarily driven by two commercial relationships which we believe involved borrower fraud in each instance."
On this news, Provident's stock price fell $1.46 per share, or 5.27%, to close at $26.23 per share on July 27, 2018.
Later, in December 2019, certain Provident emails were made public during the course of litigation in New York state court, which indicated that Provident was aware of the fraudulent nature of and/or risks posed by at least one of its failed loans. Specifically, Provident executives and top-level management, including CEO Martin, seemingly ignored multiple red flags regarding a potential loan to Lotus Exim International ("Lotus") before ultimately extending a $17 million loan to Lotus.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Provident shares and suffered a loss, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Melissa Fortunato or Marion Passmore by email at investigations@bespc.com, or telephone at (646) 860-9156, or by filling out this contact form. There is no cost or obligation to you.

2 Undervalued Gold Miners, According To RBC
The price of gold remains restrained in the new year, although analysts generally agree that the setup for the yellow metal is positive. RBC Capital Markets analysts noted that policy is very accommodative, but any signs of economic growth could change it.Positive Outlook For gold In 2021Analyst Josh Wolfson and his team noted that the prospect of more stimulus under Joe Biden's administration is a tailwind for gold. It also yielded negative real rates globally. They expect interest rates to remain at zero until 2023, assuming a protracted recovery and low inflation.However, the RBC team also said inflation expectations have climbed with the potential for additional traction appearing in the first half of the year. They also point out that nominal yields have lagged. Further, Wolfson and his team said the Federal Open Market Committee could eventually skew rates tighter than the baseline. They added that U.S. net speculative positions are heavily short.Robust Setup For Gold Equities TooHigher gold prices have resulted in record free cash flow and deleveraging among gold miners, however the RBC team said decision-making remains conservative among miners. Companies are also being responsible about their capital investment, and RBC feels that long-term production is sustainable.One key theme for gold miners is the return of capital. Wolfson and his team said dividend yields are running 1.7%, which is sustainable down to a price of $1,350 an ounce for gold. They also said the valuations of miners do not reflect higher gold prices being sustained.Royal GoldThe RBC team looked at two gold stocks, in particular. They see Royal Gold (NYSE: RGLD) as an attractive, low-risk business insulated from inflation trends and direct operating risk. Wolfson and his team added that the company has a high EBITDA margin of 80% and high free cash flow conversion at about 90%. Royal Gold also has low dilution.The RBC analysts forecast 13% growth for the company, driven by its Cortez and Penasquito, Koemacau development and the COVID rebound. They believe Royal Gold's output is sustainable until at least 2025. Wolfson and his team also said the company is well-positioned financially with $140 million in net cash, $1.14 billion in liquidity, and cash growth net of dividends of $350 million to $400 million at spot prices.They have an Outperform rating and $150 price target on Royal Gold, and they describe its valuation as "highly attractive." The key risks are the competitive transaction landscape, potential changes in the U.S. tax law, and execution at Khoemacau.Kinross GoldThe RBC team also likes Kinross Gold (NYSE: KGC). They said the company is a first-quartile cash flow generator that benefits from gold prices, the capital expenditures cycle, and margin improvement. Wolfson and his team also said Kinross Gold's risk profile has improved after the Mauritania fiscal update and its deleveraging cycle.The company has a track record of favorable capital allocation and a history of achieving guidance. The RBC team has an Outperform rating and $12 price target on Kinross Gold, which they say is a discounted valuation. Risks improve above-average political risk exposure and project execution at Tasiast, Gilmore, and La Coipa.See more from Benzinga * Click here for options trades from Benzinga * Bitcoin Won't Replace Gold, Will Become Less Dominant In Crypto: Peltz International * Was Warren Buffett Right About Gold Mining Stocks?(C) 2021 Benzinga.com.

Wike pledges support for Obi's campaign with logistics
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday pledged to support the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi with logistics for his campaign in Rivers State.
Wike, who invited the LP candidate to inaugurate the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo Flyover in Port-Harcourt, added that Obi had all the characteristics to lead Nigeria.
Wike said, "Each time you want to campaign in the state, let me know, all the logistics support, we will give to you.
"I know you as a person, you have all the criteria, you have all the characteristics to lead this country, you have it. Nobody can deny that."
For months crisis has rocked the Peoples Democratic Party as Wike, a PDP member, and four other PDP governors known as the G5 have demanded the resignation of the national chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu, saying northerners should not be both the PDP national chairman and presidential candidate.
Speaking also to Obi at the inauguration Wike said, "If you had not left (the PDP), you would not have realised your ambition to be able to save Nigeria."
The PUNCH had earlier reported that Wike also invited the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhar (retd.) and former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, to inaugurate projects in the state, both from the ruling party, APC.

What's a life worth? About $25, before shipping. At least, that's the case if you want a high-quality inbred lab mouse, like the C57BL/6J (in the biz, they just call them "black mice").
In this episode of Here Be Monsters, Jeff Emtman joins "The Scientist," an unnamed cancer researcher, for an after-hours trip to his lab, where they visit the hundreds of lab mice that he tends to. The Scientist's job is to inject his mice with cancer cells, then attempt to cure them using experimental treatments. After the cancers become too large, he kills the mice.
Jeff Emtman wearing his protective garb prior to entering The Scientist's lab.
The Scientist points to the spot where he injects cancer cells into lab mice.
Trailer for "Fantastic Planet" (1973). AKA "La Planète sauvage".
The Scientist says that he is not a satanist, despite the satanic art that covers much of his body. Instead, he considers himself a utilitarian, someone who believes that sacrifices must be made to promote the most good for the most beings (human or otherwise). And "sacrifice" is actually the technical term he and others use for killing the mice. The Scientist admits that it is a euphemistic word, but defends it because "from their sacrifice, you gain knowledge."
In his lab, the death comes via carbon dioxide, which is often thought to be the most painless option (though it has critics). Other labs use cervical dislocation--though generally there's a requirement that the animal must be unconscious first.
After the lab, Jeff and The Scientist sit out on a porch drinking beer, discussing the path to becoming a scientist, The Scientist's admiration of Neil Degrasse Tyson, and the beautiful French animated film, Fantastic Planet.

Tests I've Ran

*

*Check if the Album file exists.

Album file exists in the location: CoreBundle\Entity\Album.php.

*Check if Album file works with other functions in the same controller.

Album file is working/found corrently with other functions of the same controller.

*Does removing the cache work.

successfully removed the cache, did not change a thing.

*Is the Annotation properly made.

as far as I can see, the annotation is made properly.

As you can see I've tried a bit already but nothing worked for me.

A: (Posted on behalf of the OP).
Fixed it, was the routing that was in an incorrect order.

Home Life Health & Family Reinfections of COVID-19 Are Possible
Reinfections of COVID-19 Are Possible

COVID-19 Can Rarely Reinfect Again
Already had the coronavirus? You could get it again. https://t.co/s8MvspmFU0 via @NatGeo
— Carol Duff (@CarolDuff18) December 2, 2020
Health Editor's Note: So you have already had COVID-19 (positive testing) and now you have symptoms again, possibly worse than the first time. Yes, you could have another COVID-19 infection but it will not be exactly like the first one that you have recovered from. Typically new mutations occur in COVID-19 every 15 days and that would be a natural change that happens to any coronavirus and this change will alter the potency of the coronavirus, not make it a new strain. So the second infection will be slightly different than the first one, but not a reinfection but nonetheless, an infection caught from another source than the first one. Mutations can be analyzed since they involved in the genetic signature of the coronavirus.
There were four seasonal coronaviruses prior to the introduction of COVID-19 and reinfections can occur in those as quickly as 6 to 9 months after infection. Since we have been exposed to these seasonal coronaviruses before (COVID-19 is a novel (new) coronavirus) we have adapted to them. Also, some people do not develop an adequate antibody response after the first infection. The immune system did not function to its full capacity, thus a 'reinfection' from the slightly altered coronavirus.
Bottom line, continue to wear masks while in public places, physically distance yourselves from those you do not live with, do not touch your face, mouth, nose, or eyes without first thoroughly washing your hands, wash you hands all time, stay away from groups, stay away from those who are ill, stay home if you are sick, even if you think or know that you have already had COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccine is the definitive prevention of future bouts with COVID-19 and the initial two doses may need to be boosted yearly, exactly like the current influenza vaccines…..Carol

Just as the foundation or footings of a building need to be solid and well laid in order to withstand the load exerted on it by the building, so it is true in the spiritual sense. Luke's account of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, ends with Jesus telling the parable of the two builders. As he does, we see the builder who believed and obeyed Jesus and whose foundation goes back to the 'Rock', their house withstands the flood. The builder who believed Jesus, but did not obey and whose foundation did not go back to the 'Rock', inevitably their house fell in the flood. The challenge here is how deep is your foundation? And does it go back to the 'Rock' who is Jesus and His teachings?
