Playing careerEdit
A physical yet technically gifted defensive midfielder, Oliseh played for world-famous clubs such as AFC Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus F.C..
Oliseh played 63 international matches and scored three goals[3] for Nigeria, and played at the Football World Cups of 1994 and 1998. Oliseh also participated in the Olympic gold medal winning team of 1996. Sunday Oliseh was voted Africa's 3rd best footballer in 1998 by CAF
He is mostly remembered for scoring the winning goal in the group stage match against Spain in the 1998 World Cup, as Nigeria prevailed 3–2. A throw-in deep in the Spanish half was headed clear by Fernando Hierro – Oliseh ran and fired an explosive shot from 25 yards and took Spanish goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta completely by surprise.[4] Despite captaining Nigeria during the 2002 African Cup of Nations, Oliseh was omitted from his country's World Cup squad later that year for disciplinary reasons. After missing out on World Cup selection, Oliseh retired from international football in June 2002 for having led the team as they demanded unpaid allowances and dues owed to be paid.[5]
In March 2004, Oliseh was sacked by Borussia Dortmund after head butting teammate Vahid Hashemian while on loan at VfL Bochum allegedly over racial remarks.[6][7]
In January 2006, at the age of 31, Oliseh retired from professional football after playing a half season for Belgian top club K.R.C. Genk.[8]
Coaching careerEdit
Oliseh started his coaching career in Belgium with youth teams in the Belgian 3rd Division Verviers, notably the Under 19 team. Graduated to the first team as chief coach season 2008–09 Verviers. During the 2014–15 season, he was appointed as the Chief Coach and Club Manager of RCS VISE Belgium 3rd Division.
In 2015–16, was appointed by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) the National Team Chief Coach of Nigeria (Super Eagles of Nigeria) where he made an impressive statistic of; 14 Games (Only 2 losses) 19 Goals scored, 6 conceded. He qualified Nigeria to the CHAN tournament in Rwanda, qualified Nigeria to the Group phase of the 2018 world cup Qualifiers and on his first game as Chief Coach of Nigeria in an AFCON qualifier managed a draw in Tanzania. He resigned as Nigeria's national coach at about 2:28am on 26 February 2016 exactly a month to the team's encounter with the Pharaohs of Egypt in the AFCON qualifiers. He was barely 8 months into his stay as manager due to contract violations, lack of support, unpaid wages and benefits to his players, Asst. Coaches and himself.[9] On 27 December 2016, it was announced that Oliseh had been appointed as the new manager of Fortuna Sittard.[10] He was fired on 14 February 2018,[11] and claimed the reason he was fired was because he refused to participate in illegal activities at the club.[12]
Style of playEdit
Although Oliseh essentially played as a holding midfielder throughout his career, Jonathan Wilson noted in a 2013 article for The Guardian that he was an early example of a more creative interpreter of this role, who focussed more on ball retention and passing rather than solely looking to win back possession.[13]
Personal lifeEdit
His younger brothers, Azubuike and Egutu, are also professional footballers; another brother is Churchill Oliseh and his nephew is Sekou Oliseh.

The applicaion is working normally, but it shows this error after some usage. What is the cause of this error?
I'm using the following method to obtain the runtime each time I need a transaction.
public final static ServerRuntime getAccountsDBPostgreSQLRuntime() {
        return ServerRuntime.builder().addConfig("cayenne/cayenne-AccountsDB.project.xml").build();
    }

Example:
public final static Long newFanAccount() {
        ServerRuntime accountsDBPostgresRuntime = AccountsDBRuntime.getAccountsDBPostgreSQLRuntime();
        ObjectContext context = accountsDBPostgresRuntime.newContext();
        Fan fan = context.newObject(Fan.class);
        context.commitChanges();
        Long fanID = (Long) Cayenne.pkForObject(fan);
        return fanID;
    }

A: From the stack trace and the code example it looks like you are not reusing the Cayenne stack (ServerRuntime object), creating a new one every time instead. Aside from being slow, this also introduces a resource leak. Each ServerRuntime holds its own connection pool that you do not shut down. So sooner or later PostreSQL server is overflown with open connections.
The solution is to turn ServerRuntime into an app-scoped singleton (e.g. make it a static var of AccountsDBRuntime), and reuse it whenever you need a new ObjectContext.

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany: "We're building a big club"
Robert Summerscales
Belgium defender proud to be a part of City's revolution.
Captain Vincent Kompany has warned Manchester City's rivals that a big club is being built at the Etihad Stadium.
City secured their second Premier League title in three seasons by beating West Ham United 2-0 on Sunday.
Kompany, who was a goalscorer in the victory over the Hammers, told BBC Sport: "It's a great achievement. It will be recognised.
"We're building a big club and I'm proud to be part of this.
"We did everything right this season. We've had a busy schedule and we've come through. As the fans say, we fight to the end."
City's transformation into national champions has been spectacular.
Despite being founder members of the Premier League in 1992, they were competing in the third tier of English football just 15 years ago,.
Back-to-back promotions saw them return to the top flight in 2000, but they failed to avoid relegation in their comeback season.
However, they bounced straight back up by winning the old Division One title in 2002 and they have remained a Premier League club ever since.
In 2010, City finished fifth – the first top-seven Premier League finish in their history.
Since then they have come third, first, second and now first again.

Deleting a story?
giveintothemusk January 17, 2023, 7:33pm #1
I feel pretty silly, but for some reason I just cannot figure out a way to delete or hide one of my stories? Sorry for a topic something so small lol.
RobinHood70 January 17, 2023, 9:22pm #2
If I recall, it's only the site owner or maybe the story admins who can do that. It's rare that people want to do so. I mentioned this thread on Discord, so whether it's just Martin or Martin+Admins, someone should be along to help you with that soon.
As Robin already said, just write me a PM and tell me which story you want to be deleted. And no reason to be sorry!
Beaner January 18, 2023, 3:08am #4
Hope it's not The Rings series. That was one of my favorites.
Don't worry, it's the other one haha.
Beaner January 21, 2023, 10:18pm #6
Oh good. Hey, while we're talking about it, any chance for another chapter to The Rings?

Since cholesterol-lowering statins were approved for use 30 years ago, the number of Americans taking the drugs has skyrocketed. There are nearly a dozen different statins on the market, including atorvastatin (Lipitor) and simvastatin (Zocor). They work by blocking an enzyme the liver uses to produce cholesterol. More than a quarter of adults in the United States now take them, at an annual cost to the health care system of $17 billion. Yet cracks are appearing in previously unassailable evidence of their safety and effectiveness—including a debate over how well the drugs work for older women.
Statins' popularity results from one of the most widely accepted theories of heart disease, which is that the main culprit is cholesterol buildup in arteries. Cholesterol is an essential component of cell membranes, and the body uses it to produce hormones and bile acids. But when there is too much cholesterol in the blood, it can block blood flow in arteries, potentially causing a heart attack or stroke.
Potential side effects for anyone taking statins include muscle weakness, back pain, cognitive impairment, liver dysfunction, and increased risk of diabetes. For people at high risk of heart disease, the benefits of taking statins may outweigh the hazard of these side effects. For others, the evidence is not so clear.
Studies show, for instance, that statins are associated with an increased risk of diabetes in postmenopausal women. Statin manufacturers tend to minimize this problem and others, and many physicians dismiss the possibility that older women's symptoms or illnesses might be a result of taking statins.
There are other theories about what causes heart disease besides or in addition to cholesterol. I believe that inflammation, which can cause blood clots and arterial damage, plays a huge role—perhaps even a larger one than cholesterol. (Could light therapy be the solution to your chronic pain and inflammation?) Statins and other drugs alone are not an adequate answer to high cholesterol and inflammation. There are natural options, too, such as red yeast rice, which contains several cholesterol-lowering compounds with far fewer side effects (see more tips below). I believe medication should be a last resort for people whose cholesterol or other cardiac risk factors can't be lowered through diet and lifestyle modifications alone.
1. Eat an anti-inflammatory diet.
Center your meals on vegetables, fruits, and fiber-rich legumes such as beans, lentils, and peas. (Don't forget artichokes—they have heart-healthy, gut-soothing super powers.) Get protein from lean animal sources and healthy fats from foods like olive oil, avocados, and nuts.
Getting regular aerobic exercise (aim for 30 minutes a day) can help you manage your weight and reduce your risk of heart disease.

Everything is Marketing – Emmy Awards….Death Warmed Over
POSTED IN: Build Successful Innovation, Define Portfolio Strategy, Grow Your Brand, Maximize Insights ROI, Shape Corporate Culture
POSTED BY Amber Hudson ON September 24, 2013
Lessons from the 2013 Emmy's on how to stay relevant.
"TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF… AND TWERK IT!!!"
That line from Tina Fey and Any Poehler was the best 5 seconds of last Sunday's Emmy Awards show. The other 2 hours, 59 minutes and 55 seconds I'd like to have back please. What was that, eh? I'll tell you what that was. Three hours of uncomfortable skits, tributes to talented-yet-no-longer-relevant dead stars, weepy songs from Carrie Underwood and Elton John, the JFK Assassination, jokes that flew over the heads of those of us not in the biz (how many of you knew the security guard that ushered in Neil Patrick Harris was industry heavy hitter Les Moonves, the CEO of CBS Corp?) and a missed opportunity for Neil Patrick Harris to show off his awesome dancing and singing chops.
Come on guys! TV today is better than it ever has been: thought-provoking story lines, incredible writing, inspiring acting, technology that allows us to binge view our favourite shows. Why then was the show that gives awards to these programs to painfully dull?
Here are the lessons:
Know your audience of course. People who watch Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Modern Family…do they care about Jonathan Winters and Jean Stapleton?
On top of that, size your audience. House of Cards gets rave reviews. But how many have actually watched it? If it's less than 10% then don't rest a joke on it.
Be optimistic! Sad songs, sad tributes, presidential assassinations…do one if you must, but not all three.
Refresh your approach, but don't be different just to be different. What the hell is wrong with having Neil Patrick Harris do an opening number!? The audience loves that stuff! Doing that would have avoided the mess that was the first 15 minutes of the show.
Time to wake up Emmys. TV is only going to get better, hopefully one day you will too.

Q: creating a responsive form within NetSuite custom forms within NetSuite require the use of field tags like NLFORM and NLCATEGORY, etc. However it's unclear to me how to incorporate these tags properly into the template of a responsive form so it works.
Here's what I have so far:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<Title>General Contact Form</Title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<NLSUBSIDIARY>

Fields marked with anare required.

</form>

the form fields do respond to resizing the browser window, but NetSuite is not able to properly create a record using this particular form. can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here!?
here's the form URL: http://www.boxcomponents.com/support-form
NetSuite Field Tags are controlled from within the UI; so field width is fixed and doesn't accept percentages; there are also drop-down menus which have a fixed width, which is mildly annoying. I can't seem to get the form to respond properly without removing all of NetSuite's tags.

A: What you'll need to do is process the form with script when it opens. Add a script tag after the </form> tag to add and remove classes from the form elements.
Also this is redundant and you'll end up with some sort of broken form:
<form class="form-horizontal">
<NLFORM>

So for instance you'd just have:
<NLFORM>
   ...
</form>

Daniel Leclercq, né le  à Trith-Saint-Léger et mort le  à Sainte-Luce en Martinique, est un joueur puis entraîneur français de football.

Biographie

Né le  à Trith-Saint-Léger (Nord), Daniel Leclercq est formé à Valenciennes de 1961 à 1970. Il joue son premier match en première division le  avec Valenciennes contre Rouen, et son dernier match le  avec Lens contre Lyon. Il compte 372 matchs en D1 pour 27 buts. Initialement milieu de terrain, Leclercq devient défenseur durant son passage à Lens sous l'impulsion de l'entraîneur Arnold Sowinski.

Après sa retraite sportive, il entraîne l'US Valenciennes de décembre 1986 à octobre 1987. Sans club professionnel, il dirige l'u.s Bavay en 1989 puis le club du SC Guesnain de 1990 à 1992. Il rejoint alors l'encadrement du RC Lens, dont il devient l'entraîneur en 1997. Il mène le club à son seul titre de champion de France de première division en 1998 et à la victoire en Coupe de la Ligue l'année suivante. Il est alors surnommé Le Druide dans le milieu du football. Il quitte le club au bout d'un peu plus de deux saisons, mais demeure proche de son président, Gervais Martel.

Après un bref passage en Belgique, à La Louvière, il est nommé en 2003 à la tête de l'équipe première de Valenciennes qui évolue dans le championnat national. Au terme de la saison 2004-2005, il est champion de national avec les Rouge et Blanc, mais il est remplacé par Antoine Kombouaré lors de l'intersaison 2005.

Le , Daniel Leclercq revient au RC Lens en tant que directeur technique pour soutenir l'entraîneur en place, Jean-Pierre Papin, sans expérience en Ligue 1, et tenter de maintenir le club dans l'élite après une première partie de saison très difficile. Il ne réussira pas sa tâche et Lens descend en Ligue 2 après un nul face à Bordeaux (2-2) lors de la dernière journée. Il prend sa retraite au mois de mai 2011, à la suite d'une nouvelle descente en Ligue 2 du club artésien.

Il revient ensuite dans le monde amateur. Bien que parfois annoncé pour reprendre un club pro, il s'occupe de l'Olympique Senséen jusqu'en 2016 en tant que directeur technique.

En janvier 2016, il est contacté par le VAFC pour remplacer David Le Frapper au poste d'entraîneur. Il accepte mais ne se met pas d'accord sur les conditions de son arrivée avec le président Eddy Zdziech.

En novembre 2016, il publie son autobiographie, Une histoire de druide (éditions Les lumières de Lille), long entretien avec Thierry Morneau, historien du football nordiste.

Le 23 novembre 2017, il remet sa démission au président du SC Douai.

Il meurt le  des suites d'une embolie pulmonaire, en Martinique, où il avait décidé de s'installer pour encadrer des stages de football pour enfants.

Depuis le 12 décembre 2019, la tribune Nord du Stade du Hainaut de Valenciennes porte son nom. Un terrain de football synthétique porte son nom à Wingles à partir de septembre 2021.

En 2022, le magazine So Foot le classe dans le top 1000 des meilleurs joueurs du championnat de France, à la .

Yoshimomo Black Magic, according to the web's description, dissolves surface debris, excess oil, and impurities without stripping skin of natural moisture. Targets the overproduction of sebum and the buildup of blemish-causing bacteria to leave skin refreshed, detoxified, and nourished.
Activated Bamboo Charcoal works like a sponge to absorb and trap pore-clogging impurities and bring them to the skin's surface, allowing them to easily be washed away.
Willow Bark is a non-irritating, natural source of salicylic acid that penetrates deep into pores where it dissolves debris and excess oil that could lead to blackheads and blemishes.
Thyme has powerful antibacterial and cleansing properties that effectively kill Propionibacterium acnes, the primary bacteria that causes the redness and inflammation of a pustule.
Quinoa, Rice, and Amaranth proteins lock moisture into skin cells to prevent over-drying and the production of excess oil.
Lavender, Lemon, and Calendula calm redness, protect skin from bacteria, clarify, and brighten.
It has a gel texture that lathers up gently when mixed with water. I take a pump for every use. I usually use this during nighttime as a second cleanser and I take the time to massage the lather in, sometimes leaving it for a minute or two for that full gratification. Here's what surprises me. I had expected this to strip the skin and it never does that. There is no taut or tight feeling. As a quick comparison, I feel Antipodes Juliet Cleanser strips my skin a bit more than this. Yoshimomo Black Magic is mild, despite the detoxifying qualities it possesses.
It has a peppermint scent. It's refreshing but it also translates on the skin. It was slightly uncomfortable at first, the cooling sensation is a little bit awkward for me to digest. It's not really a con just because I'm not the biggest fan of mint in general. But I get by through it because the cleanser is really, really GOOD.
The key, or rather, the star ingredient here is the Bamboo Charcoal, no doubt. I believe this is the one that makes the cleanser work so well in terms of purifying the skin. I've used this ingredient in a bar soap and I'm head over heels how the soap has helped with my back acne (will share about it soon). Willow Bark is also another nice element to help fighting blemishes. This ingredient can also be found in FAB Blemish Patrol Pads that I reviewed before.
As I mentioned earlier, within a week of use, I knew this is going to be my go-to cleanser. I started using it during the time where my skin was experiencing constant blemishes. They're small and probably insignificant compared to others but definitely pesky because I can see them. I find that the cleanser really helps to purify excess dirt and sebum as I see my skin getting clearer during the week. I didn't use anything invasive or serious (e.g. using other clarifying products) just to see the effect. These little red dots went away one by one and as an overall result, my skin became less red and spotty.
When dealing with more serious, larger blemishes, Yoshimomo Black Magic won't be the savior, but it definitely has a first hand in handling the issues. Remember, good skin starts with clean skin, which means a proper cleansing. This cleanser also has a good pH balance at around 5.5. It's a great option for those who are seeking for low pH cleansers.
The cleanser is best suited for combination, oily and blemish-prone skin. But because of the mild character and the fact it doesn't leave that squeaky clean feeling, I think this might work for drier skin types as well, especially if you tend to have blemishes. It can be used simply as a detoxifying step in the routine once in every few days.
I am glad that I took the chance trying out Yoshimomo Black Magic because the outcome is absolutely marvelous. It really pays off. I do feel I experience less blemishes once I incorporate this cleanser more often and constant. The winning point for me, aside from the bamboo charcoal, is definitely the mild, non-stripping feel. It doesn't compromise with how my skin feels afterwards. I don't hesitate using this, gravitating towards it almost every night. And I don't even feel guilty about it.
I am definitely going to let my SO taste some Black Magic once his cleanser runs out.

Neil Warden - guitarist comes home to his roots
Neil Warden was sitting in the garden of the house in Dunfermline that he moved to recently when a thought struck him. Not only had the guitarist returned to his hometown, he now lives just fifty yards from where he took his first steps into making music.
"I looked up and realised that the house along the street was where I started going to jam with this slightly older guy who introduced me to guitarists like Larry Coryell and Leo Kottke," says Neil who, over the past forty years, has played with Scottish blues singers Tam White and Maggie Bell. He's also featured alongside musicians including the late rock-pop hit maker Jim Diamond and King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell while enjoying success with his own music on both sides of the Atlantic.
Neil grew up with a soundtrack of his dad's jazz records playing at home. The Count Basie Orchestra, organist Jimmy Smith and guitarist Wes Montgomery were his dad's particular favourites and Neil was drawn to playing the guitar. He took classical guitar lessons at school and learnd about both acoustic and electric guitarists from his mentor down the street.
"There was a lot of music in Dunfermline when I was in my teens," says Neil. "If Nazareth were back in town, you could hear them at the Kinema Ballroom, which was a popular spot for touring bands like Georgie Fame and Jon Hiseman's Colosseum. Tommy Sampson's orchestra would be playing in the Elizabethan. There was a good folk club and I particularly remember Alan Darby, who went on to play guitar with the soul band Cado Belle and who could play Santana's Abraxas album in its entirety and – to me – sounded just as good as Carlos Santana."
In his mid-teens Neil joined the prog rock band Joe's Diner and gigged across central Scotland. When not playing with the band he was listening to music at home – organist Brian Auger and guitarist Cornell Dupree were favourites at the time – or going out to hear the saxophonist Jim Kyle, whose brother Bill played drums and went on to play a major role in jazz promotion. Neil was also always up for a jam and remembers getting together with local fiddler Pete Clark, now a doyen among traditional music players, to play tunes by the far-from-traditional Mahavishnu Orchestra.
In 1982 Neil left Dunfermline for Edinburgh, where he met Tam White. Initially he was White's guitar teacher as the blues singer worked on a more self-contained acoustic style in contrast to his powerful band, the Dexters. This led to Neil joining White's Shoestring Band, a long-running trio with harmonica player Fraser Speirs.
When White's busy schedule allowed, Neil played sessions and worked on his own music. A CD, Blue Soul Groove, which followed the jazz-funk style of bands like Stuff and the Crusaders, performed a similar "coals to Newcastle" trick as the one that took fellow Scots the Average White Band to the top of the US charts. Radio presenters in New York were convinced they were playing music created in a nearby studio rather than Neil's home studio in Edinburgh with friends including saxophonist John Burgess.
More recently, Blue Soul Groove also became Neil's passport into a new project. Back in Dunfermline and having health issues, including Bells Palsy, which has affected his vision, he was keeping active musically through his work on the Weissenborn slide guitar when his Shoestring Band colleague, Fraser Speirs got in touch.
"Fraser said he was recording with Dave Pringle, which was a name I knew from way back," says Neil. Edinburgh-born Pringle, who composed theme tunes for TV programmes including Wheel of Fortune and whose CV includes work with Dolly Parton, David Soul, Hoagy Carmichael, Annie Ross, and Georgie Fame, among many other notables, recently returned to Scotland after many years in the US.
"Dave is sounding great and the recordings Fraser mentioned have turned into a double album," says Neil. "They asked me to add guitar in the Blue Soul Groove style. It turned out to be a lot of work, learning new tunes, then recording my guitar parts at home. But I'm happy with how it sounds. The album's called Once in a Blue Moon and I enjoyed the whole experience immensely."

The colouring (English spelling) of natural diamonds is entirely natural, and affects the value. Blue-whites and whites are worth the most and yellow-browns (the most common) the least. Pinks are somewhere in between. Very occasionally a diamond appears that has several colours in it. These are often cut to make best use of the variations.
Blue Boron impurities are responsible for the color of blue diamonds. From light to sky blue to nearly navy, the cool blue color in diamonds exhibits a wide range of intensitie.
Yellow The most famed of natural colored diamonds are the yellows, often marketed with less pejorative nomenclature as "canary" diamonds. The presence of nitrogen impurities make for the yellow color.
Green Green diamonds result from radiation. After diamonds form deep within the earth, radioactive rocks emitting radiation nearby color already formed diamonds to green. Such natural irradiation occurs over millions more years. And the green color occurs towards the surface rather than throughout the stone.
As such, natural green diamonds show low color saturation and have a grayish cast. They are, as well, exceedingly rare.
Impurities in the diamond when forming cause coloration. It only takes about 1 atom per million diamond lattice atoms. Boron = blue, nitrogen = yellow, lattice defects = brown, radiation exposure = green. They also come in purple, pink, orange and red.

Finance – how do you find the cash to buy it?
A decent sized (5kW+), good quality home solar power system can cost north of $6,000. That's a big chunk of change to find.
The solution – of course – is to buy a solar system on credit, or finance.
Although we all like the thought of tiny power bills, we are also very wary of getting into debt; and so we should be.
Debt incurs interest, which adds to our living expenses. I personally try and avoid it wherever possible.
But solar finance is different. If it is used thoughtfully, a well financed, properly sized solar system can save you more money every month than it costs you to finance. Yes – even including interest.
However, you need to shop around, not just for the solar panel system, but for the finance. The difference between solar saving you money each month and costing you will mostly come down to the deal you can get.
If you see a finance deal that claims 'no interest' your BS detector should be going off. All finance has a cost – the "no interest" deals usually charge the installer a fee of around 15-25%.
Invariably the consumer pays because, in our experience, 'no interest ever' solar finance deals usually come with a substantially higher retail price than a comparable self-funded system.
You can get a much better deal overall by organising your finance independently and avoiding the easy-sign-up, 'no interest' deals.
Interest free loans have long been a way merchants can take advantage of the mental shortcuts consumers take when making decisions. It can sound too good not to take up, but before you do we recommend you do the research first and compare your finance options.
"Cash is not finance!", I hear you say. But in order to compare the different financing options, you must compare them to the old fashioned way of buying things – with cash.
If you are debt-free and have cash looking for a place to go, then investing in a solar power system will will give many other investments a run for their money. Solar systems currently generate a tax-free return that is higher than current bank interest rates or government bonds.
If you use most of your electricity during the day, a 5kW system purchased for $6,500 will generally pay for itself in around six years. That's a return of 12% per annum. If you're not home during the day then the returns won't be as spectacular, but still above bank interest rates.
Who should consider paying cash? Anyone who has the savings and in particular cashed-up, debt-free retirees who want a higher return on their nest egg without taking undue risk.
Tip: When comparing solar power with other investments, remember you can't tax savings.
What if you don't have the cash resources? Then one of these five financing options may suit you.
At the time of writing (October 2017), most retail mortgage rates are between 4-5%. Considering the 12% return from home solar in the example above, you could be better off borrowing more against your home to invest in a solar system than to reduce your mortgage.
If you plan to pay off your mortgage over 25 years, then the cost of your solar system could end up being almost double, once you take into account interest over time.
Before you decide, you should compare the total cost of a home loan versus a short term solar loan. Be careful of big application or variation fees and any impact it might have on lender's mortgage insurance.
Who is this ideal for? Homeowners who have the financial discipline to pay off their mortgage as fast as possible. If you have an offset facility or redraw as part of your mortgage, then you can add the cost of a solar power system to your mortgage without incurring substantial fees that come with a new loan.
Tip: Commit to paying more than the minimum repayment amount with your solar savings and see your home loan pay down faster.
If you're looking to get great quotes for solar finance, we've teamed up with Parker Lane to make it really easy. Simply click here to be put in touch. It's quick, easy and free.
If you've decided to not spend your cash, then the next best option for most is an unsecured personal green loan. Green loans are offered by financial institutions that understand a person installing solar panels is usually a good bet.
Green loans often have lower interest rates than comparable unsecured personal loans. Some even come with rates more closely resembling a home loan than an unsecured personal loan.
Green loans are only available to be taken out for approved green products; which include home solar systems from a Clean Energy Council Accredited installer, and must be paid directly to the installer upon receipt of an invoice.
Setting up a new loan, whether it's an addition to your mortgage or a green loan, attracts a banker's best friend – fees. Watch out for establishment fees, monthly fees and early repayment fees that can add a significant amount to the total cost of your system.
But if you look carefully, you can find a green loan with a low interest rate, long term options, low up front fee, no ongoing and no early repayments fees.
Who are green loans ideal for? Most people who don't have bad credit.
Tip: For zero out of pocket expenses, speak to your finance provider about balancing estimated solar savings with a loan term to match the repayments.
If you're considering seeking a solar finance quote, we've made this simple by partnering with Parker Lane, who offer a range of finance options such as the one described above and a easy, free process. Click here to be put in touch.
In theory, 'no interest' loans enable you to buy solar and pay it off 'interest free' over time, but establishment, monthly and other fees can add up over time to act, in effect, as a small interest rate.
Finance companies that offer interest free repayment schemes receive a fee (typically around 15-25% of the price) from the merchant (in our case, the solar installer), which is where the real money is made.
If you're paying cash, the sticker price of a system may well be the same, but the merchant will be much more negotiable on cost than if you're financing the purchase.
25% of the sticker price is more than what a typical solar installer will make on the sale. To make their margin, the installer may sell you an inferior inverter and cheaper panels, hurriedly installed in order to make a profit. The more likely scenario is they'll have a high retail price of the system (in comparison with installers who don't offer interest free deals) to cover the cost of offering you a solar payment plan. Buyer beware.
The finance company now owns the debt, and is responsible for collecting repayments and ensuring that the loan is repaid. If you miss repayments, or are unable to pay the loan, then this could adversely affect your credit rating and ability to get credit in the future.
Who is this ideal for? People with poor credit and who can afford higher repayments to pay the loan off over a shorter period.
One of these companies boasts that they approve up to 96.5% of applicants (compared with 60-70% for the average lender). That's why the real cost of funding home solar this way can be so expensive – but if you have poor credit, you won't be eligible for a low cost green or personal loan.
Tip: Think twice and be sure you can afford the purchase before you take up this finance option. Zero interest payment plans typically offer much shorter terms than green loans, which means your monthly repayments will be greater than your electricity bill savings in all but rare cases.
With this option, the leasing company owns the system until you fully pay for it over the term of the 'lease'. Unlike leasing a car, the solar power system can not be easily removed from your house and leased to someone else.
If you decide to sell your house you will need to pay the outstanding balance of the loan because the contract cannot be transferred to the new property owner.
The solar leasing salesperson will tout "just pay a simple monthly fee, which is often less than your current electricity bill." In theory you come out ahead, but beware of the actual interest rate that is baked into the monthly lease.
Compare the cash price of the system you are buying to the total amount you will pay over the term of the lease. The difference is in effect the interest you pay to enjoy the benefits of solar energy now while paying later. Don't be fooled by the low monthly payments that are in theory covered by the energy savings from solar panels.
Who is this ideal for? We only recommend this type of financing for larger solar systems, typically put on commercial premises.
Tip: Always compare the total cost of every finance option you are considering. Repayments for a long term solar loan may well be as low as the lease payments.
Many Australian solar companies got very excited about this concept a few years ago, but it has failed to take off for financing residential solar systems.
The idea is you get the system installed for no upfront cost, then pay the solar company for the power a system generates. For example, they could charge you 20c per kilowatt-hour of solar electricity generated compared to the 30c you typically pay for grid electricity.
Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Unfortunately, there is one flaw. Under a PPA, you are contractually obligated to buy a set minimum amount of electricity from the retailer, regardless of whether or not you actually need it in your home. This means you could potentially be paying for energy that you don't need.
Solar PPA's are popular are for commercial properties and factories that use loads of electricity during the day, which means almost all the solar electricity is used on-site. But unless you own a factory, PPAs are probably not a good solution.
Who is this ideal for? We only recommend this type of financing for larger solar power systems, typically installed at commercial premises.
Tip: If you run a home business that uses a considerable amount of electricity through the day, seven days a week, then a PPA may be suitable for you. Just be sure to check your electricity consumption patterns to be certain you will come out ahead.
A finance company can help those who can't borrow more on their home mortgage, or want the added incentive of a higher interest rate to ensure they repay the loan faster. If you don't have the discipline to repay more than your minimum repayments, then a personal loan may work out as a cheaper option in spite of the higher interest rates.
Similar to green loans, some lenders will factor the loan purpose, your home ownership status and other aspects, and may offer better than market interest rates.
A finance company will pre-approve your loan, allowing you to negotiate as a cash buyer and ensuring you can get the best system for your money. If you decide to sell your property, then the loan is unaffected as it is guaranteed by you personally and not tied to your house.
Who is this ideal for? Those with good credit who want the flexibility to fund items other than solar, a competitive interest rate, and the negotiating power of a cash buyer.
Tip: Your bank typically won't offer a competitive interest rate because their pricing is one-size-fits-all. This means you're paying the same rate as the 19 year old student borrowing the cash to go backpacking around South America.

Thriving Peoples, Thriving Places: Poster campaign highlights the contributions of Indigenous women to global biodiversity
We are in a critical moment. In the midst of an ongoing global pandemic that is leaving no family untouched, compounded by increasingly extreme weather events linked to climate change, a unique global art project is shining a light on voices essential to the ecological solutions and collective healing we seek: Indigenous women.
'Thriving Peoples, Thriving Places', the second collaboration between Indigenous-focused not for profit Nia Tero and design lab Amplifier, will launch on International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples (Monday, August 9, 2021.) The global exhibit includes six original portraits commissioned from Washington DC-based artist and illustrator Tracie Ching. The art will be available digitally as well as at public art events in cities such as Seattle (US), Washington DC (US), New York City (US), São Paulo (Brazil), and London (UK). The goal of the project is to at once celebrate Indigenous women as stewards of biodiversity across Earth and to prompt action amongst an engaged global audience.
The nine Indigenous women at the center of this project provide robust examples of real-life action to engage in to strive for the health and future of the planet. They are from communities spanning the globe, from the Philippines and New Zealand, to the Brazilian Amazon to Scandinavia, to the global north, embodying Indigenous experience and carrying generational knowledge and inherited responsibilities that come with that. These celebrated leaders include:
Sônia Guajajara (Guajajara), an activist in Brazil and leader of Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (Association of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil), which brings together 305 ethnicities around the agenda of Indigenous rights in the region.
Nara Baré (Baré), a Brazillian activist who was the first woman to assume the general coordination the largest indigenous organization in the country, the Coalition of Indigenous Organizations of the Brazilian Amazon (COIAB).
Célia Xakriabá (Xakriabá), a Brazilian activist leading a new generation of female Indigenous leaders in the battle against the destruction of Brazil's forests both in the Amazon and the lesser known Cerrado, a savannah that covers a fifth of the country.
Vicky Tauli Corpuz (Kankanaey Igorot), an activist who not only helped organize the Igorot student movement in Manila in the 1970s and the Indigenous Peoples' Movement in the Cordillera, but actively participated in the drafting, negotiations, and adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Pania Newton (Ngapuhi, Te Rarawa, Waikato, Ngati Mahuta), a lawyer and Māori land rights activist who organized the group Save Our Unique Landscape (SOUL) to protest the development of land at Ihumātao in south Auckland.
Marjorie Kunaq Tahbone (Inupiaq, Kiowa), an environmental activist whose artistic work focuses on revitalizing ancient skills such as hide tanning, making traditional regalia, and tool making.
Gunn-Britt Retter (Saami), a professor, formerly part of the Arctic Council Indigenous Peoples' Secretariat, and current Head of Arctic and Environmental Unit for the Saami Council.
Deb Abrahamson (Spokane Tribe), an environmental activist and water protector who played a large part in the push to clean up the legacy of uranium mining on the Spokane Indian Reservation; Abrahamson died of cancer in January of 2020, attributing her illness to the very radioactive toxins that she had dedicated her life to saving others from.
Twa-le Abrahamson-Swan (Spokane Tribe), an environmental activist and executive director, the River Warrior Society, a collective across the Coeur d'Alene, Colville, Kalispel, Nez Perce, and Spokane tribes; Abrahamson-Swan refocused the collective's energies on providing pandemic and wildfire relief; daughter of Deb Abrahamson.
This art initiative arrives in tandem with several critical global convenings, including: the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in Marseille, France in September 2021, and the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland in November 2021 with an eye towards the additional critical climate and biodiversity conversations in 2022 and beyond.
At global policy events such as these, many of which were postponed in 2020 due to the pandemic and from which policy decisions evolve effecting how governments around the world respond to global issues and emergencies, the presence and participation of Indigenous women is vital. As acknowledged by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, "Despite their enormous assets and contribution to society, Indigenous women still suffer from multiple discrimination, both as women and as Indigenous individuals. They are subjected to extreme poverty, trafficking, illiteracy, lack of access to ancestral lands, non-existent or poor health care and to violence in the private and the public sphere." As such, Indigenous women's understanding of intersecting issues – and the urgency and solutions needed to address them – makes their presence and leadership in global policy discussions essential.
The activists, artists, and scholars at the heart of 'Thriving Peoples, Thriving Places' exemplify the ideals of guardianship, kinship, reciprocity, and wisdom. Their voices, work, and leadership benefit not only their own peoples and communities, but all of us who share this planet, which is why now, more than ever, we must celebrate them, listen to them, and, most importantly, follow their lead.

Harley-Davidson responds to threat of European Union tariffs on Harley bikes
Harley-Davidson says European Union tariffs from a possible trade war with US would have significant impact on motorcycle sales.
Harley-Davidson responds to threat of European Union tariffs on Harley bikes Harley-Davidson says European Union tariffs from a possible trade war with US would have significant impact on motorcycle sales. Check out this story on greenbaypressgazette.com: https://usat.ly/2oT5TkV

Harley-Davidson has responded to the European Union's threat to impose tariffs on Harley motorcycles, saying it could have a significant impact on sales and customers.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has identified Harley-Davidson bikes and Levi jeans as targets for "countermeasures" the EU has been preparing in retaliation for President Donald Trump's plan to place tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum.
Trump has said he would impose a 25% tariff on steel imports and a 10% tariff on aluminum imports, a move welcomed by the U.S. steel industry but opposed by manufacturers of many products that have a high metal content.
Roughly 16% of Harley-Davidson's sales are to Europe.

More: Trump continues to back aluminum and steel tariffs despite Republican fears of a trade war
In a statement, Harley now says, "Import tariffs on steel and aluminum will drive up costs for all products made with these raw materials, regardless of their origin. Additionally, a punitive, retaliatory tariff on Harley-Davidson motorcycles in any market would have a significant impact on our sales, our dealers, their suppliers and our customers in those markets."
This wouldn't be the first time that Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson, the world's largest manufacturer of heavyweight motorcycles, has faced tariffs in trade disputes. The EU threatened tariffs on its bikes in 2003 when President George W. Bush sought taxes on imported steel.
In India, where big touring motorcycles and cars are saddled with a 100% import tariff, Harley's sales have grown by a brisk 30% in the past two years.
That's largely because the company has been able to get around the tariff by assembling bikes there, something it's done in that country since 2011.
Harley-Davidson is building a factory in Thailand as the company looks to better serve its international customers, the motorcycle maker announced Tuesday. Read The Full Story Here: Harley-Davidson Will Build a Factory in Thailand Video provided by TheStreet Newslook
Harley plans to open a motorcycle assembly plant in Thailand this year, as the tariff on motorcycles assembled in the United States is about 60% in that country, according to the company.
Trump said Monday he is moving ahead with tariffs on imported aluminum and steel despite calls from House Speaker Paul Ryan to avoid creating what Ryan called an unnecessary trade war.
"We are extremely worried about the consequences of a trade war and are urging the White House to not advance with this plan," said AshLee Strong, Ryan's spokeswoman. "The new tax reform law has boosted the economy and we certainly don't want to jeopardize those gains."
"We're not backing down" on tariffs, Trump said in remarks before a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "We had a very bad deal with Mexico, we had a very bad deal with NAFTA," the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada.
Trump started his week with tweets that said he may end the tariffs on Mexico and Canada in exchange for better terms in the talks to renew NAFTA.
The president did not provide many details in a pair of tweets, except to say that Canada "must treat our farmers much better," while Mexico "must do much more on stopping drugs from pouring into" the United States.
"NAFTA, which is under renegotiation right now, has been a bad deal for U.S.A.," Trump tweeted. "Massive relocation of companies & jobs. Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum will only come off if new & fair NAFTA agreement is signed."

El terme gendai budō (现代 武 道) significa 'arts marcials tradicionals modernes' en japonès. Es pot contraposar a koryu budō (古 流 武 道), que es pot traduir com arts marcials clàssiques tradicionals. El concepte de gendai budō abasta arts sense i amb armes, com el karate, judo, iaido, kendo, kyudo, aikido, kobudo i altres, sorgides després de la restauració Meiji (1868) al Japó, al final del  i principis del segle 20. Les arts marcials tradicionals modernes busquen transcendir el liquidar l'adversari, en donar formació ètica i una filosofia de vida als seus practicants al seu torn que cultiven el cos, així mateix aquestes poden ser usades per a una defensa personal civil.

En l'actualitat les arts marcials tradicionals modernes japoneses s'estan especialitzant cada vegada més a causa del seu enfocament esportiu o filosòfic, convertint-se en esports de combat o de precisió/exhibició. Fent a una banda diverses tècniques útils i necessàries per a la defensa personal, trobades abans com a parts integrals o complementàries del seu contingut. Algunes d'aquestes són: les tècniques de desarmament, de cop, diversos tipus de luxacions i immobilitzacions, cop a punts vitals, maneig d'armes tradicionals i tècniques de reanimació. A causa d'això es pot descriure de manera general l'èmfasi d'aquestes arts marcials així:

Judo = llançaments, enderrocs, estrangulacions, submissions i luxacions, lluita cos a cos. Karate = cops amb mà oberta, cops de puny, cops de colze, puntades, genoll, luxacions, amb alguns llançaments i escombrats. Aikido = luxacions a membres superiors, llançaments, immobilitzacions, algunes estrangulacions i uns pocs cops. Kendo = maneig del sabre de bambú o shinai. Kyudo = tir al blanc amb arc i fletxa. Jodo = maneig del bastó mitjà (aproximadament entre els 1.10 i 1.30 de longitud). Iaido = maneig del sabre des de la beina. Kobudo = maneig de les armes tradicionals del Japó, i d'Okinawa.

Over the course of your life, the chances of being the victim of a crime are at least one in three, higher if you live in a large city, and higher still if you're a woman. The criminal's objective is to maximize gain and minimize risk, and he'll usually pick the easiest target with the most to offer. Given these odds, it pays to take precautions by following some basic safety rules:

Thousands enroll in Ga. Pre-K Program
Tuesday, July 29th, 2014, 4:04am
(WXIA) -- More than 80,000 Georgia children are enrolled in the state's Pre-K Program for the 2014-15 school year.
Pre-K is open to all 4 year olds, regardless of household income. Assistant commissioner Susan Adams said that it is the first school experience for many children.
"For this reason, we take our roles very seriously, and we work really hard to provide Georgia's children with positive and meaningful experiences," Adams said in a release.
In Pre-K, students study language, literacy and math while making new friends and building foundations for lifelong learning. The Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning recommends parents visit their children's classrooms in advance to familiarize them with their new surroundings, and dress them in comfortable clothes and shoes every day. If students have a tendency to feel lonely, parents can send them to school with family photos to cheer them up, and blankets or stuffed animals to snuggle at naptime.
