Elected Trustees vote themselves 50% Pay Raise – Clark-Edgar Rural Water District –
By jmkraft on May 30, 2018 • ( 8 Comments )
OLIVER, IL. (ECWd) –
In a stunning move during their May 2018 meeting, the majority of the Clark-Edgar Rural Water District Board of Trustees voted to increase their compensation by 50% – effective in June of 2018 (next month).
The lone-wolf voting "no" was Lisa Thomas, from Clark County.
We had previously questioned whether an elected trustee of a water district could receive any compensation at all, since all references to compensating trustees referred to "appointed" trustees, not "elected" trustees. We believe that if the legislature had wanted elected trustees to be compensated, it would have included them in the statute governing water districts, and would have given them permission to be compensated. Their attorney disregarded "Dillon's Rule" and basically told them they can get paid.
Section 4 of the Public Water District Act states:
For terms commencing before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, the trustees appointed under this Act shall be paid a sum of not to exceed $600 per annum for their respective duties as trustees, except that trustees of a district with an annual operating budget of $1,000,000 or more may be paid a sum not to exceed $1,000 per annum. For terms commencing on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, the trustees shall be paid a sum of not to exceed $1,200 per annum. However, trustees appointed under this Act for any public water district which acquires by purchase or condemnation, or constructs, and maintains and operates sewerage properties in combination with its waterworks properties, under the provisions of Section 23a of this Act, shall be paid a sum of not to exceed $2,000 per annum for their respective duties as trustees. Compensation in either case shall be determined by resolution of the respective boards of trustees, to be adopted annually at their first meeting in May.
Do you see any compensation mentioned for trustees elected under this act? We don't either. This Section 4 talks only about "appointed" trustees. Additionally, the only time given for setting compensation falls under this section for appointed trustees. No such authorization is granted under any other section of this Act.
Section 4.2 discusses "Elected" trustees and the process to convert the district from appointed to elected trustees. This section does not mention compensation for anyone.
There are two key elements of local governments you must comply with:
"Dillon's Rule" – which in its most basic form, states that a local government only has the powers granted it by the legislature. In this case, the legislature granted "appointed" trustees the ability to receive limited compensation under Section 4. The legislature did not grant elected trustees the ability to receive any compensation.
For the sake of argument, even IF the legislature had granted permission for elected trustees to receive compensation (which it did not grant), such compensation would have had to be set at least 180 days prior to the beginning of the terms of the officers whose compensation is to be fixed, and would only apply to those new terms of office.
The Local Government Compensation Act applies to all elected compensated officials of local governments, for those the legislature has granted permission to receive compensation. There are several local governments whose elected officials are not permitted to receive compensation, including, water districts, school districts, and park districts just to name a few.
When compensations are permitted, Section 2 describes that "notwithstanding any other law to the contrary" compensation shall be fixed at least 180 days prior to their term of office. This Act even applies to Home Rule units of local government.
Article VII, Section 9 of the Illinois Constitution prohibits increasing or decreasing the salary of an elected officer of any unit of local government during the term of office for which that officer is elected. This prohibits elected officials from voting to increase their pay after they become elected and also prohibits those same elected officials from decreasing the pay of an elected official they may disagree with after an election.
Our takeaway?
elected water district trustees cannot be compensated
elected officials, no matter which unit of local government, cannot increase or decrease their pay during their term of office
they need to be sued into submission to the law
And nevermind the fact they gave themselves a raise while hundreds of people have paid their deposit for water and 25 years later they still don't have water!

Water Boy says:
I always thought people chose to "serve" because they felt a desire to serve. Voting themselves a 50% raise seems to me – without knowing any of the related circumstances – unconscionable.
Ralph C Norris says:
Are they giving themselves a raise to try to cover the fact that their water is the most expensive around? They need the raise so that their bottom line for the water district doesnt show more profit than last year.
Angela Mason says:
If they're making a profit, they need to do one of three things: Reduce costs for water/services, put the overage back into the budget and use it for improvements…or return it to the customers, even if it works out equitably for every customer to receive a check for $2. One of the best-run water districts is Jasper in Edwards County. They keep costs extremely low but used to (about 2001-02) at the end of the year, when they have their FY-ending meeting, they ask for the customers to show up, and in the event of an overage, the customers vote on whether they want a refund or an upgrade. By doing it that way (and I believe that's proscribed by law if I'm remembering correctly), Jasper has become a leader in the area, but they're not getting too big, so that American Waterworks or some outfit like that doesn't come along and offer to buy them…which is great as that should be avoided at all costs.

Rona Clark, Alamosa
Clark is a self taught tennis player. The long time competitor of 28 years has never taken lessons. She'll just play whoever wants to play her.
Except her husband, Richard Clark. She can't tell you who would prevail in a singles match against each other.
"We quit playing each other because we got too competitive," Clark who has been married to her husband for 17 years said. "So now we just hit with each other."
Clark figures she has been playing in the Paper Cup for about 15 years and tennis for 28 years. Her long list of accomplishments include winning last year's Colorado State Open and Denver City Opens, each in her age division.
Jackie Galli, Pueblo
Galli has been competing in the Paper Cup for nearly half her life, and playing tennis for far longer. She started playing tennis when she was only 3 years old, because her dad, Michael Galli who played.
"I started playing because of my dad. I was a little daddy's girl." Galli, a 20-year old student at Colorado State University-Pueblo said.
Galli won some junior tournaments before moving on to Pueblo County High School where she played and lettered in tennis all four years.
Jackie is teaming up with Michael in the father/daughter division. She says they are in it just to have fun, but like everyone they enjoy winning. Jackie has never quite won the Paper Cup, but has made it to the quarterfinals.
Miles Lucero, Pueblo
Lucero spent the whole spring season competing at a very high level. Granted it wasn't tennis that he was playing.
Lucero is a junior, two-sport athlete at Pueblo County High School competing in tennis and baseball. When it comes to baseball, intimidation is a big part of his game.
"I like to stare the batter down like The Big Unit," Lucero said with a laugh.
Just because he doesn't devote all his time to tennis, doesn't mean he can't compete. This past year he was the No. 1 singles player for the Hornets, and was a state semi-finalist.
Lucero will compete in the men's open singles, father/son doubles and open mixed doubles with South Colt, junior Sarah Housman.
Royce Cappis, Pueblo
When he's not competing, Cappis spends his time at the Pueblo Country Club giving tennis lessons. He says it's a good way to remember the strategy.
"It helps because I'm always telling people where to go and what shot to hit," Cappis, who has been teaching for four years said. "It kind of gets engraved in your mind."
Cappis, an East High School graduate, competes at Colorado State University-Pueblo as the No. 6 singles player and makes up half of the No. 3 doubles team.
During his junior year for the East Eagles, Cappis placed fourth at the state tournament as the No. 2 singles player. This year he is competing in the 4.5 mixed doubles and men's open doubles.

The ocean crust is created at Mid-Ocean Ridges as magmas rise from the mantle and cool. In order to cool this melt, seawater penetrates the ocean crust, resulting in many chemical changes of both the rocks of the crust as well as the oceans. Thus, "hydrothermal" fluid flow is a primary mechanism for mass and heat transfer between the deep Earth and the oceans, accounting for approximately one third of the global yearly heat loss. Of particular interest are hydrothermal systems hosted in rocks that were brought up from the deeper mantle, so-called "ultramafic" rocks due to their composition. This is because: (1) the mechanisms that produce such mantle exposures are not fully understood; (2) there is potential for these ultramafic rocks to sequester CO2 sequestration; and (3) the fluids resulting from hydration of ultramafic rocks can create unique chemical environments that are important for biology on earth. This project will use an existing dataset acquired in 2013 that probes the subsurface of such an ultramafic exposure beneath an active hydrothermal system along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This project will serve the national interest by promoting the progress of science, in particular by investigating the linkages and interactions between mantle rocks, fluids, and (sub)surface ecosystems. This is a major scientific goal of the geoscience community and its importance has been highlighted in science plans providing guidance to scientists, funding agencies and policy makers, such as the IODP Science Plan for 2013-2023 or The National Academy of Sciences Sea Change 2015-2025 Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences Report. This project will support a postdoctoral investigator, providing an opportunity for developing the early career of an independent scientist, and contributing to the new generation of geoscientists with expertise in advanced seismic imaging techniques. Such expertise is of great importance for the US industries in the field of exploration and production of natural resources. By making use of existing seismic datasets, this project will also leverage previous NSF investments in marine seismic acquisition.
This project will conduct a multi-scale advanced seismic modeling and imaging study of a subset of a seismic data collected in 2013. These data were collected as part of the NSF-funded MARINER experiment in the Rainbow massif of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The dataset includes active-source long-streamer seismic reflection data, ocean bottom seismometer wide-angle data, and a microseismicity catalog. The approach will consist of (1) downward continuation and travel-time tomography, yielding intermediate resolution models of the P-wave velocity structure; (2) elastic full waveform inversion, yielding high-resolution models of the P-wave velocity structure; (3) reverse time migration, yielding geometrically accurate, high fidelity seismic reflection images; and (4) micro-earthquake tomography, yielding a km-scale regional 3-D model of the S-wave velocity structure. These models and images will be used to investigate the physical properties of magmatic rocks within the oceanic crust. They will help to quantify their partially molten or solidified state, and how they are linked to active and inactive hydrothermal fields. Furthermore, the models and images will illuminate fluid pathways and small-scale faulting, potential connecting the seafloor hydrothermal fields to the magmatic system at depth. The results, when jointly interpreted with existing seafloor geology observations, seafloor sampling and near-bottom imagery from previous studies will provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of magmatism and other geological controls on hydrothermal activity in regions of mantle exposures along mid-ocean ridges.
This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

subch. II of ch. 961 SUBCHAPTER II
STANDARDS AND SCHEDULES
961.11 961.11 Authority to control.
961.11(1)(1) The controlled substances board shall administer this subchapter and may add substances to or delete or reschedule all substances listed in the schedules in ss. 961.14, 961.16, 961.18, 961.20 and 961.22 pursuant to the rule-making procedures of ch. 227.
961.11(1m) (1m) In making a determination regarding a substance, the board shall consider the following:
961.11(1m)(a) (a) The actual or relative potential for abuse;
961.11(1m)(b) (b) The scientific evidence of its pharmacological effect, if known;
961.11(1m)(c) (c) The state of current scientific knowledge regarding the substance;
961.11(1m)(d) (d) The history and current pattern of abuse;
961.11(1m)(e) (e) The scope, duration and significance of abuse;
961.11(1m)(f) (f) The risk to the public health;
961.11(1m)(g) (g) The potential of the substance to produce psychological or physical dependence liability; and
961.11(1m)(h) (h) Whether the substance is an immediate precursor of a substance already controlled under this chapter.
961.11(1r) (1r) The controlled substances board may consider findings of the federal food and drug administration or the drug enforcement administration as prima facie evidence relating to one or more of the determinative factors.
961.11(2) (2) After considering the factors enumerated in sub. (1m), the controlled substances board shall make findings with respect to them and promulgate a rule controlling the substance upon finding that the substance has a potential for abuse.
961.11(3) (3) The controlled substances board, without regard to the findings required by sub. (2) or ss. 961.13, 961.15, 961.17, 961.19 and 961.21 or the procedures prescribed by subs. (1), (1m), (1r) and (2), may add an immediate precursor to the same schedule in which the controlled substance of which it is an immediate precursor is included or to any other schedule. If the board designates a substance as an immediate precursor, substances which are precursors of the controlled precursor shall not be subject to control solely because they are precursors of the controlled precursor.
961.11(4) (4) If a substance is designated, rescheduled or deleted as a controlled substance under federal law and notice thereof is given to the controlled substances board, the board by affirmative action shall similarly treat the substance under this chapter after the expiration of 30 days from the date of publication in the federal register of a final order designating the substance as a controlled substance or rescheduling or deleting the substance or from the date of issuance of an order of temporary scheduling under 21 USC 811 (h), unless within that 30-day period, the board or an interested party objects to the treatment of the substance. If no objection is made, the board shall promulgate, without making the determinations or findings required by subs. (1), (1m), (1r) and (2) or s. 961.13, 961.15, 961.17, 961.19 or 961.21, a final rule, for which notice of proposed rule making is omitted, designating, rescheduling, temporarily scheduling or deleting the substance. If an objection is made the board shall publish notice of receipt of the objection and the reasons for objection and afford all interested parties an opportunity to be heard. At the conclusion of the hearing, the board shall make a determination with respect to the treatment of the substance as provided in subs. (1), (1m), (1r) and (2) and shall publish its decision, which shall be final unless altered by statute. Upon publication of an objection to the treatment by the board, action by the board under this chapter is stayed until the board promulgates a rule under sub. (2).
961.11(4g) (4g) Notwithstanding sub. (4), if cannabidiol or nabiximols is rescheduled or deleted as a controlled substance under federal law, the controlled substances board shall similarly treat cannabidiol or nabiximols under this chapter as soon as practically possible but no later than 30 days from the date of publication in the federal register of a final order rescheduling or deleting cannabidiol or nabiximols or from the date of issuance of an order of temporary scheduling under 21 USC 811 (h). The board shall promulgate, without making the determinations or findings required by subs. (1), (1m), (1r), and (2) or s. 961.13, 961.15, 961.17, 961.19, or 961.21, a final rule, for which notice of proposed rule making is omitted, rescheduling or deleting cannabidiol or nabiximols.
961.11(4m) (4m) The controlled substances board, by rule and without regard to the requirements of sub. (1m), may schedule a controlled substance analog as a substance in schedule I regardless of whether the substance is substantially similar to a controlled substance in schedule I or II, if the board finds that scheduling of the substance on an emergency basis is necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety and the substance is not included in any other schedule or no exemption or approval is in effect for the substance under 21 USC 355. Upon receipt of notice under s. 961.25, the board shall initiate scheduling of the controlled substance analog on an emergency basis under this subsection. The scheduling of a controlled substance analog under this subsection expires one year after the adoption of the scheduling rule. With respect to the finding of an imminent hazard to the public safety, the board shall consider whether the substance has been scheduled on a temporary basis under federal law or factors under sub. (1m) (d), (e) and (f), and may also consider clandestine importation, manufacture or distribution, and, if available, information concerning the other factors under sub. (1m). The board may not promulgate a rule under this subsection until it initiates a rule-making proceeding under subs. (1), (1m), (1r) and (2) with respect to the controlled substance analog. A rule promulgated under this subsection lapses upon the conclusion of the rule-making proceeding initiated under subs. (1), (1m), (1r) and (2) with respect to the substance.
961.11(5) (5) The authority of the controlled substances board to control under this section does not extend to intoxicating liquors, as defined in s. 139.01 (3), to fermented malt beverages as defined in s. 125.02, or to tobacco.
961.11(6) (6)
961.11(6)(a)(a) The controlled substances board shall not have authority to control a nonnarcotic substance if the substance may, under the federal food, drug and cosmetic act and the laws of this state, be lawfully sold over the counter without a prescription. This paragraph does not apply to the promulgation of rules by the controlled substances board under s. 961.01 (20c).
961.11(6)(b) (b) If the board finds that any nonnarcotic substance barred from control under this chapter by par. (a) is dangerous to or is being so used as to endanger the public health and welfare, it may request the department of justice in the name of the state to seek a temporary restraining order or temporary injunction under ch. 813 to either ban or regulate the sale and possession of the substance. The order or injunction shall continue until the adjournment of the legislature convened next following its issuance. In making its findings as to nonnarcotic substances under this paragraph, the board shall consider the items specified in sub. (1m).

Biomass is material derived from living things, such as wood, grasses or manure. Sometimes it is a byproduct of some other process, but it can also be produced intentionally, such as the growing of corn for producing bioethanol. Biomass can be used to generate electricity.
The simplest way to generate electricity from biomass is to burn it. Just like burning coal, oil or gas, the heat generated turns water into high-pressure steam that is used to drive a turbine that generates electricity. Biomass can be burnt on its own or along with regular fossil fuels.
Biomass can be heated in a controlled oxygen environment, so it does not burn, but instead produces a mixture of gases including methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide. These gases can drive electricity-generating turbines or be burnt to generate steam, which in turn drives the turbines.
Allowing microorganisms to break down the biomass in oxygen-free conditions can produce ethanol and methane. These can then be burnt to drive steam powered turbines.
For the most part, theses methods all involve burning biomass or burning products derived from the biomass. This principle is the same as how electricity is generated from fossil fuels.

Jean Bruno Wladimir François-de-Paule Lefèvre d'Ormesson (Parijs, 16 juni 1925 – Neuilly-sur-Seine, 5 december 2017), ook Jean d'O genoemd, was een Frans schrijver, filosoof, publiek figuur en lid van de Académie française (vanaf 1973). In Frankrijk was hij bekend voor zijn art de la conversation (gesprekskunst). Hij was  directeur-generaal van het dagblad Le Figaro van 1974 tot 1977 en later voorzitter van de Internationale Raad voor Filosofie en Humanistiek (ICPHS) binnen de UNESCO van 1992 tot 1997. Jean d'Ormesson overleed in de nacht van 4 op 5 december 2017 aan een hartstilstand en werd 92.

Familie
De familie Lefèvre d'Ormesson behoorde onder het ancien régime tot de ambtsadel en de meeste leden droegen meestal de naam van graaf d'Ormesson.

Jean was de zoon van ambassadeur André d'Ormesson en de jongere broer van Henry d'Ormesson. Hij was een neef van ambassadeur Wladimir d'Ormesson en van het parlementslid Olivier d'Ormesson.

Zijn moeder, Henriette Isabelle Anisson du Perron, behoorde tot een monarchistische en strijdend katholieke familie. Zij stamde uit de adellijke families de Boisgelin en Le Peletier, met onder meer het lid van de Nationale Conventie Louis-Michel Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau en diens dochter Suzanne.

Jeugd
Hij bracht zijn jeugd door in het kasteel van Saint-Fargeau, eigendom van zijn moeder, zoals hij het beschreven heeft in Au plaisir de Dieu. In zijn jeugd volgde het gezin de carrière van de vader: in Beieren (1925-1933), in Roemenië en in Rio de Janeiro.

Hij werd opgevoed door zijn moeder en helpsters tot aan zijn veertien jaar, met cursussen van de Cours Hattemer, die hij per correspondentie volgde. In 1941-1942 ging het gezin aan de Azuurkust wonen en liep hij school in het Lyceum Massena, waar hij in 1943 het baccalaureaat behaalde. Hij trok vervolgens naar het Collège Henri IV in in Parijs en was negentien toen hij de studies begon in de École normale supérieure. Licentiaat in de letteren en de geschiedenis, werd hij in 1949 ook nog geaggregeerde in de wijsbegeerte.

Beroep en gezin
Na zijn legerdienst te hebben volbracht, werd hij leraar Grieks en wijsbegeerte in het Collège-lycée Jacques-Decour en werd vervolgens journalist bij Paris Match en bij enkele dagbladen, zoals Ouest-France, Nice-Matin en Le Progrès de Lyon. Hij woonde verder in Parijs en hij was zevenendertig toen hij op 2 april 1962 trouwde met de Zwitserse Françoise Béghin (°1938), jongste dochter van de persmagnaat Ferdinand Béghin, bestuurder bij Le Figaro en afgevaardigd bestuurder van de suikerraffinaderijen Beghin-Say.

Hun dochter Héloïse, geboren in 1962, werd uitgever. Uit een eerste huwelijk met Manuel Carvassonne, had ze een dochter, Marie-Sarah.

Literaire, politieke en journalistieke activiteiten
In 1950 werd hij, door bemiddeling van Jacques Rueff, voorzitter van de pas gestichte UNESCO, secretaris-generaal van deze niet-gouvernementele organisatie. In 1992 werd hij voorzitter.

In 1956 publiceerde hij zijn eerste roman, L'amour est un plaisir, waarvan slechts 2.000 exemplaren werden verkocht, tot ontgoocheling van zijn uitgever Julliard, die in hem een mannelijke Françoise Sagan zag. Het succes kwam pas in 1971 toen zijn roman La Gloire de l'Empire op 100.000 exemplaren werd verkocht. Hij was actief bij het tijdschrift Diogène, voor humane en sociale wetenschappen, als adjunct-hoofdredacteur (1952-1971) en als hoofdredacteur (1971-1974). Hij maakte deel uit van het kabinet van Maurice Herzog als minister van Jeugd en Sport.

In 1974 werd hij directeur van Le Figaro. Iedere week verscheen een artikel van hem in het literair supplement op zondag van de krant, waarvan Louis Pauwels hoofdredacteur was. In 1975 werd Robert Hersant eigenaar en begon zich te moeien met de inhoud van de krant. D'Ormesson nam ontslag in 1977. Hij bleef nog tot in 1983 regelmatig publiceren in Le Figaro Magazine.

In 1994 was hij de laatste die met François Mitterrand ontbijtte op het Elysée, een uur voor de overdracht van de macht aan Jacques Chirac. In 2012 steunde hij Nicolas Sarkozy voor de presidentsverkiezingen. In 2017 steunde hij Emmanuel Macron.

In 2013 vertelde hij over de kanker die hem had getroffen. Na acht maanden hospitalisatie, leek hij de ziekte te hebben overwonnen en hernam hij zijn activiteiten.

In 2015 besliste Gallimard het oeuvre van Jean d'Ormesson te publiceren in de Bibliothèque de la Pleiade.

Académie française
In 1973 werd Jean d'Ormesson verkozen tot lid van de Académie française, als opvolger van Jules Romains.

In 1980 was hij de grote pleitbezorger van het opnemen van Marguerite Yourcenar in de Académie, en toen hij er in geslaagd was, was hij het die de receptietoespraak hield.
Hij sprak ook de onthaaltoespraak uit voor Michel Mohrt in 1981 en voor Simone Veil in 2006.

Hij was de deken van de Académie sinds 2009.

Jean d'Ormesson beschouwde zich als politiek rechts, aanhanger van de Gaulle, maar meer Europeaan en met een aantal linkse ideeën.

The University of Zambia Student Union (UNZASU) would like to totally disassociate itself from the meager or minute number of students who stormed ZNBC in support of the endorsement of president Michael Chilufya Sata as the 2016 presidential candidate. That was just a few students that can be described as PF sympathizers and they do not in any way represent the position or the views of the student populace.
The Union will not tolerate any student masquerading as a carrier of the union's stance on any issue in the university, nation and beyond. We stand to the enhancement of integrity in UNZASU by remaining non-partisan and objective in analyzing issues of public interest. Chiefly, we strongly assert that all the students who participated in the scourge will undergo disciplinary action.
We admonish all politicians both from the ruling and opposition political parties that they must stop appeasing some desperate UNZA students with money in quest for them to issue political statements but channel the resources towards the development of the University of Zambia if they really care.
We further challenge the republican president Michael C. Sata to quickly intervene and end internal wrangles currently being exhibited within the patriotic front as this is superlatively mugging efforts needed for the development of this country.

Still All Smiles for Andy Sullivan
It was all Andy Sullivan again today as he added a solid 67 to his opening two rounds of 64, 64. He is now sitting very comfortably on a five shot lead, and is in pole position to win his third European Tour title this season.
"I'm just playing really good golf at the moment and just hung in there early doors and managed to knock a few good putts in early," he said. "And I just kept that going throughout the round and ended up finishing four under for the day, which is awesome in that horrible weather out there.
"I thought I handled myself well. I didn't really feel like I'd done much wrong out there today. I think every part of my game is in good touch, and I didn't really ever leave myself too much to do."
Although he managed to weather the storm, he did drop shots on the par 4 seventh and the par 3 16th. But that means he's only dropped three shots in three rounds, which is testimony to just how well he is playing.
The threat of bad weather led to a shotgun start, and rain and storms duly arrived in the afternoon to make scoring that much harder than on the first two days. With more bad weather expected tomorrow, there will be another shotgun start.
When asked what his plan was for the final day he commented:
"More of the same hopefully. Just go out there and do my thing, and hopefully come in and sign for a good score again. Just go out there and do my thing like I have been, and take it shot by shot and see what happens."
Round of the day belonged to Chris Wood, who shot a bogey free 65 to propel himself up the leaderboard to be tied third with Jorge Campillo, and two shots behind second placed Eduardo De La Riva.
It was a better day for Nicolas Colsaerts, who shot a 68 that included five birdies and two bogeys. He's now tied fifth with Thomas Pieters, who could only manage a one over 72.
Others to mention in dispatches include Bernd Wiesberger, who could not maintain yesterday's momentum, and shot one over par to tie at nine under with Thomas Bjørn, Trevor Fisher Jnr and Hennie Otto.
Bernd Wiesberger not quite walking on water today.
Tommy Fleetwood and Anthony Wall, who struggled with the conditions, made no progress and both shot rounds of one over par to sit tied 11th with David Drysdale.
In this form Andy Sullivan is going to be really hard to beat. He's got the cushion he wants, and it looks like baring a disaster he will win this wire to wire.
Wind gets up for Wall.

Diocesan Communique: By construction of the transit road in the Visoki Dečani Monastery zone Kosovo Government directly violates the law and endangers the UNESCO World Heritage Monument
26. May 2018 - 12:57
On the occasion of the beginning of heavy construction works on the road from Dečani (Kosovo) to Plav (Montenegro) despite the Kosovo law and UNESCO heritage standards, the Government of Kosovo in a most blatant way endangers one of the prime UNESCO World Heritage Monuments in the Balkans. The Diocese of Raška-Prizren (Serbian Orthodox Church) has issued the following public statement today:
Diocese of Raška and Prizren
Serbian Orthodox Bishop in Kosovo Teodosije Šibalić informed yesterday the representatives of the EU, OSCE and KFOR that the Kosovo Government began illegal construction works on the transit road Dečani-Plav within the Special protected zone around the Monastery of Visoki Dečani. The construction of such roads in the protected zones is most severely prohibited by the Law on Special protected zones which was adopted by Kosovo Parliament. The violation of this law in addition to the denial of the Kosovo Government and the local municipality to implement the Kosovo Constitutional Court confirming the property rights of Visoki Dečani Monastery represents the most flagrant example of institutional lawlessness perpetrated by Kosovo Government. The OSCE monitoring team visited the zone yesterday and could report the damage which is being made by the work of bulldozers. The destruction of the natural surroundings in the zone is additionally problematic because the area also belongs to the National Park of Prokletije.
Dečani - Plav road was discussed several times at the meetings of the Implementation Monitoring Council (for special protected zones). The Council consists of the highest representatives of the EU and OSCE Offices in Kosovo, Kosovo Minister of Spatial Planning and Culture as well as the Bishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo.
The initiative for the construction of the transit road was stopped in 2014 when the then Prime Minister Hashim Thaci inaugurated works on the bypass route which was planned to go beyond the boundaries of the protected zone. The Diocese has many times reiterated the position that the Church is not against construction of roads but that the construction of the transit road right along the walls of the most important UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in the region constitutes not only the violation of the current law but an anti-civilizational act which will inflict considerable damage to Visoki Dečani Monastery. The transit rad will increase the traffic, particularly of heavy vehicles, make additional damage and pollution so the area around the monastery, one of the rarely preserved oases of peace and tranquility will be irreparably damaged. Thanks to the firm international position and the readiness of the former Kosovo Government the bypass road construction was begun and publicly opened in the presence of the mayors of Dečani and Plav. However the works were soon suspended and the initiative for the for the road construction next to the Monastery was launched by the current Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj. Obviously, one can hardly speak of any sense of institutional continuity in Kosovo with such contradictory decisions. The Implementation Monitoring Council has recently held two meetings on which the EU and OSCE legal analyses were presented as well as positions of the Quint countries, with a firm conclusion that the construction of the transit road is illegal and damaging for Kosovo. This position was communicated directly many times to the Kosovo Prime Minister by the highest international representatives in Kosovo.
Although the Ministry of Infrastructure showed initially readiness to go back to the bypass road project this has now been directly violated by the beginning of extensive ground works on widening of the existing village (unpaved) road with additional deforestation. Only 400 m from the Monastery a sign was placed with the name of the road project and the logo of the Kosovo Government. One can see heavy machines along the route and bulldozers cutting deep into the hillside changing the landscape which has been preserved for centuries.
It is important to mention that the EU is currently funding another transit road between Peć and Montenegro through the hills above the scenic Rugova gorge (far enough from Peć Patriarchate Monastery and the famous natural resources of the gorge). Despite this expensive project funded within the EU Western Balkans connectivity program, Kosovo Government nevertheless decided to construct another transit road just 17 km away, right next to Dečani Monastery and in contradiction to the law on Special protected zones violating the legal principles of preservation of significant cultural and historical monuments.
Therefore the latest action of the Kosovo institutions is deeply damaging confidence in the legal credibility of local institutions and the rule of law, including the decision of the Constitutional Court of Kosovo which obviously are of no meaning in Dečani Municipality. At the same time the beginning of works in the protected zone de facto blocks the work of the mixed Implementation Monitoring Council as the works are carried on opposite to the legal interpretations of the EU and OSCE Offices.
In the last 20 years (after the Kosovo armed conflict) Dečani Monastery has been under the military protection of KFOR peacekeepers because of four armed attacks since 1999 and an attempt of a terrorist action by local Kosovo Islamists in 2016 who were arrested by the Kosovo police and released the following day for illegal possession of weapons. The poor security situation, absence of the rule of law and order, ethnic discrimination and disregarding the Kosovo own laws including its highest judicial decisions is damaging not only to the citizens of Dečani Municipality but all Kosovo citizens.
If the construction works of the disputed road are not immediately stopped and the damage made by deforestation appropriately repaired the Diocese will conclude with deep disappointment that the current Kosovo laws on protection of cultural heritage are completely invalidated by the Government which paradoxically is supposed to preserve and implement them.

Kosovo law on special protected zones (in English): http://www.gazetazyrtare.com/e-gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=146&Itemid=56&lang=en
Pay attention to the Article No 3 which deals with the goals of the Law on Special Protected Zones and the Article No 5 in which among the PROHIBITED activities within the zones construction of transit roads is specifically mentioned. Compared to restricted activities which may be a matter of compromise the prohibited activities are automatically considered illegal.
The Tweet of the US Ambassador in Kosovo Greg Delawie a few days ago in which he says that the construction of the road near Dečani Monastery is illegal and that the issue was closed in 2014 (by the then Government decision on a bypass road). The Ambassador appeals on respect of the law.
Decani road issue was closed in 2014, and confirmed again two weeks ago. Kosovo law says road construction in front of the Decani Monastery is illegal. Respect the law.
— Amb. Greg Delawie (@USAmbKosovo) May 16, 2018
Due to several extremist armed attacks and the aggressive behavior of Kosovo authorities Dečani Monastery has been placed on the list of 54 UNESCO most endangered World Heritage sites in the world. This shows very clearly the level of threat by Kosovo authorities for Medieval Christian monuments and why strong NATO led troops are for years stationed around this 700 years old Christian site in Europe. https://whc.unesco.org/en/danger/

Q: Error handling with ServiceStack's IStreamWriter & IHasOptions With an implementation of IStreamWriter and IHasOptions that returns an image/jpeg result, if an error occurs in WriteTo, the global error handler in AppHost is not called, and the image/jpeg header stays, which results in a HTML error (generated by ServiceStack) with an image/jpeg HTTP Header.
Here's an example of how to reproduce this:
public class SampleStreamWriter : IStreamWriter, IHasOptions
{
    void WriteTo(Stream responseStream)
    {
        // This would actually be a delegate
        throw new ApplicationException("...");
    }

    public IDictionary<string, string> Options
    {
        get
        {
            return new Dictionary<string, string>
                {
                    {HttpHeaders.ContentType, "image/jpeg"}
                };
        }
    }
}

Since Options is called before WriteTo, it is not possible to try/catch inside WriteTo and change the Content-Type to e.g. "application/json", and manually override the error response.
How can this be implemented, so that the HTTP Response has the error's Content-Type value, and as a bonus, that the AppHost's ServiceExceptionHandler gets called for logging?

A: The CompressedFileResult class might be a good example to look at as it inherits IStreamWriter and IHasOptions. There are a few other classes used in testing that inherit from IStreamWriter as well (StreamWriterResult, ImageResult). Not sure those are as useful.
It seems like the simple answer is to do everything (Validation, get Image, build byte[], etc) before the 'WriteTo' method is called. If your Try/Catch is within your Service you can push the exception up and use the Exception handling already provided. Obviously, this doesn't help when WriteTo throws an exception but at this point in the Pipeline it seems like you've passed the point of Response manipulation.

Upcoming Family Business Center Forums in Charlotte Announced
1.5.2011 Faculty News, General, News Release
CHARLOTTE, NC – Succession planning in the family business and generational differences in the workplace are topics to be highlighted in upcoming Wake Forest University Schools of Business Family Business Center forums.
Robert Norris, founding partner of Wishart, Norris Henninger & Pittman P.A., will present "The Business Owner's Pathway to Maximizing and Preserving Business and Personal Wealth" at the first of the quarterly forums on Jan. 27. "Most business owners fail to maximize or preserve wealth during the sale or transfer of their business to the next generation of owners. It doesn't have to be that way," said Norris.
Participants will be introduced to a six-step exit planning process which greatly simplifies the business owner's task of addressing business and personal issues in an integrated fashion. Application of this process along with the tools and techniques discussed will help ensure the maximization and preservation of the owner's business and personal wealth.
For more than 34 years, Norris has represented family and privately-owned businesses in mergers and acquisitions, sales of businesses, business owner exit planning, and business succession planning. His passion is for acting as an exit planning and succession planning facilitator for business owners and their companies. He has handled succession planning matters for several of the largest businesses in the Carolinas.
"The Business Owner's Pathway to Maximizing and Preserving Business and Personal Wealth" is from noon to 4 p.m. on Jan. 27 at the Whitehead Manor Conference Center located at 5901 Sardis Road, Charlotte.
Stacey B. Randall, founder and chief consultant of SBR Consulting, will present "Generational Differences: Reality or Hype" at the second of the quarterly forums March 2. Randall will discuss the key workforce attributes for each generation, and the implications for attracting, retaining, and rewarding different generations in the workplace. Forum participants will also receive copies of SBR's proprietary research findings on how the recession is affecting the millennial generation and attraction and retention strategies.
In the second part of the program, Stephen Shuford, executive vice president of Shurtape Technologies, LLC, will share the joys and challenges of growing a longtime maker of yarns and twine into leading global manufacturer and marketer of adhesive tapes, weatherization products and stationery products under the Shurtape®, Duck®, Painter's Mate Green®, FrogTape® and Easy Liner® brands. Shurtape has manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Canada and China and has sales and distribution facilities around the world. Customers include Sherwin-Williams, Walmart, Lowe's, Home Depot, Staples, Michaels and an array of industrial distributors. Shuford is a fifth generation owner/manager of the family business.
"Generational Differences: Reality or Hype" is from noon to 4 p.m. on March 2 at the Whitehead Manor Conference Center located at 5901 Sardis Road, Charlotte.
Family Business Center forums are only open to Family Business Center members, sponsors and their guests. For information on FBC membership and guest policies, please contact Rhonda Stokes

An increasing number of assignees are extending their stays abroad, which may require employers to consider more permanent relocation benefits for their expat mobile workforce. For instance, employees moving internationally for longer periods of time may likely have a greater need for expatriate health insurance.
One-quarter of uninsured respondents cited good health as the primary reason for a lack of coverage.
Uninsured individuals face massive health bills: Relocate Magazine cited a recent online survey conducted by health insurance provider Now Health International that found one-quarter of expats fail to take out international health insurance when they move abroad. The 25 percent of uninsured respondents cited good health as the primary reason for a lack of coverage. Yet, as medical care costs in popular expat areas continue to grow, the uninsured will face large bills if their optimism proves to be incorrect.
Some countries are better providers than others: Access to medical resources and the level of industrialization are two key reasons why some nations have better expat healthcare options than others. Taiwan is one of the highest rated countries for both healthcare affordability and quality. In fact, in its most recent Expat Explorer survey, HSBC found that nearly 70 percent of assignees in Taiwan spent less on health care while on assignment than in their home country. While assignee satisfaction with Taiwanese healthcare affordability and quality is 3 times the global average, inexpensive health care options can also be found in the U.K., Thailand, Japan and Saudi Arabia. The U.S., Ireland, Brazil and New Zealand are on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Employers want to provide it, but they can't always afford it: A study conducted by Expacare found 23 percent of employers want to provide health insurance for talent abroad but don't have room in their budgets. However, budget restricted employers can still help their assignees by providing information and resources covering the host location's healthcare system and available expatriate insurance options. Although some countries provide universal health care solutions, dependance on government programs can be risky. In fact, Twelve percent of respondents in the Now Health International study thought they would be taken care of by their host country's health care system. However, a growing number of nations are beginning to pass legislation that limits expat coverage to accident and emergency incidents only; one of many reasons that highlight the need for quality assignee education on expatriate healthcare.

Dakota Crescent was one of Singapore's oldest public housing estates and a rental flat neighbourhood for low-income households. In 2016, its residents—many of whom are elderly—were relocated to Cassia Crescent to make way for redevelopment. To help them resettle, a group of volunteers came together and formed the Cassia Resettlement Team.
They Told Us to Move tells the story of the relocation through interviews with the residents from the Dakota community and reflections by the volunteers. Accompanying these are essays by various academics on urban planning; gender and family; ageing, poverty, and social services; civil society and citizenship; and architectural heritage and place-making. Through this three-part conversation, the book explores human stories of devotion, expectation, and remembrance. It asks what we can achieve through voluntary action and how we can balance self-reliance and public services.
This book is for people who want to understand the kind of society we are, and question what kind of society we want to be.
Ng Kok Hoe received his PhD in Social Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science where he was a UK Commonwealth Scholar and won the Titmuss Prize. He is Assistant Professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and was formerly from the civil service. Kok Hoe's research investigates Singapore's public housing policy, homelessness, and income security for elderly people. His past projects include studies commissioned by the government, local NGOs, and UN-Habitat. He shares his findings through public talks and commentaries in the hope that policy research will inform understanding, facilitate participation, and serve wider public interest.
This is an unusual book with three dimensions—the Dakota resident presenting her views to an interviewer, the volunteer retelling experiences of looking after the resident, and the academic essayist tying the two together by drawing out the links between the micro and macro. It is also a touching book that acknowledges and validates voices that often go unheard. It portrays vividly the relationship between the marginalised and wider society. We are made aware of perspectives from which we can consider many issues confronting society and the importance of seeing the connections between social structure and individual experience and agency.
At its core, this book poses disturbing challenges to social work. These stories of resettlement remind us that community issues affect collectives of families. If social work is about the 'person in environment', why is there a conditioned preoccupation with casework rather than community work, where people participate collectively in resolving their own problems and take control for building social capital? Why are our interventions often about individual psychosocial factors and deservedness rather than the environmental and social conditions that contribute to the perpetuation of social problems? Respect for the dignity and worth of the person is a core social work value, and self-determination and autonomy are key ethical principles. So what is the social work response when we learn that "no choice" – a resignation that their lives had been decided for them – is a recurrent theme in the experiences of the residents? How can social intervention be carried out with and by the residents rather than on them? Every challenge is an opportunity. Ours is to refresh our thinking and working models, and to re-imagine our social purpose.
At a time when universities are focusing myopically on achieving publication numbers that often favour one-dimensional research, it is truly inspiring to come across younger scholars like Ng Kok Hoe, whose work delves deeply and courageously into the very local in order to find universal meaning and value. Whose research efforts are really powerful interventions, which employ methods that are not only creative and painstakingly collaborative, but also driven by a deep humility, compassion, and human-centredness. In this book, Kok Hoe and his collaborators teach us about social and spatial justice, not only through the exalted frameworks of theory, but through heightened sensitivity and empathy, otherwise dulled by the spectacle of the Singapore success story.
This important book makes visible the stories of displacement untold in the official account of relocation. While we celebrate the resilience of the residents and volunteers working through the struggles of resettlement, the essays, reflections and stories also remind us of the struggles of state agencies in understanding what makes or breaks a community, and the value of lives lived with dignity.

The Best Cuts of Meat for Jerky
Sampson Quain | updated on August 31, 2017
Sampson Quain
Sampson Quain is a screenwriter and filmmaker who began writing in 1996. He has sold feature and television scripts to a variety of studios and networks including Columbia, HBO, NBC, Paramount and Lionsgate. He holds a Master of Fine Arts in screenwriting from the University of Southern California.
Jerky is the process of cooking meat, then drying it for later consumption. There are several ways to make jerky, including drying, smoking and curing the meat, but the most important aspect of making jerky is choosing the right kind of meat. Beef flank steak, venison, tenderloin and rump roast are among the best choices for jerky because they tend to be lean and flavorful.
Beef Flank Steak
Beef flank steak is lean meat cut from a cow's abdominal muscle. It is thin and flat in shape and is widely used in stir-fry dishes, fajita recipes and London broil. Beef flank steak cooks in a short period of time, but it should be well marinated, as it can be a tougher cut of meat. The flank steak should be sliced across the grain for additional tenderness.
Venison is considered "game meat," and includes meat from deer, elk and moose. Venison tends to be very lean and much more aromatic and flavorful than beef. There is little fat on venison, which means that you may have to add oils to retain the meat's juicy quality. Venison shouldn't be overcooked as it becomes hard very quickly.
Beef tenderloin is a boneless cut of meat from the the hip section of the cow. The tenderloin is the most tender cut steak available, and is often used in restaurants to make filet mignons. Because this cut of meat is so tender, it doesn't need to be marinated and should be medium-cooked to retain its best flavor.
Rump roast makes for good jerky because it comes from the hindquarter of the cow where the big muscles make for a lean cut of meat. However, rump roast can be tough to chew so you should marinate it prior to cooking to help tenderize the meat and bring out more of the flavor. Rump roasts can be braised or roasted and are often sliced thin for roast beef sandwiches in delis and restaurants.

Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler vows he won't be nice guy all the time anymore
RONALD BLUM
Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler vows to be more critical of his players this season.
The Phils led the NL East in early August, but then went 16-33 and finished at 80-82.
Kapler said Phillies' fans demand that players be held accountable.
LAS VEGAS — Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler intends to be more publicly critical of his players in his second season following his team's late fade.
Philadelphia led the NL East in early August, then went 16-33 and wound up with its sixth straight losing record at 80-82.
"One thing that I can do immediately that I think will really resonate well with our fans in Philadelphia is … as much as I illuminate some of the things we're doing very well, I can be a little more assertive in illuminating the things that we need to work on," he said Monday at the winter meetings. "I do think that our fans demand that we hold them accountable. I think that I've shared and demonstrated to our fans that I do that behind closed doors. And I think that many of them would like to see me create that really high bar publicly. And I'm committed to doing that."
Phillies president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail reinforced that message during an offseason dinner.
"Andy did say that he thinks that holding players, staff members and the entire organization to a very high bar publicly is something that he thinks will work well," Kapler said. "I agree with him. I think it's an easy adjustment for me to make and it doesn't have to be anything dramatic or forced. I think it's just a small adjustment. It's the turning up of the volume of just kind of raising the bar, holding the club and the organization to a high standard."
Could Philly fans be problem for Machado? Philadelphia has notoriously demanding fans — Eagles supporters booed Santa Claus and threw snowballs at him in 1968 at Franklin Field as the NFL team finished a poor season. That aggressive insistence on effort might cause tumult for free agent infielder Manny Machado if he signs with the Phillies.
"I think the Philadelphia fan base is an incredibly passionate and devoted one, and they demand that their players play hard," Kapler said. "They set an incredibly high bar and are disappointed when players don't meet that bar."
He praised Machado, who along with Bryce Harper is among the top two players on the free-agent market.
"I think Manny has done a tremendous job in his career of establishing a reputation of being one of the top young players in baseball," Kapler said. "And I think he's in an incredible position to be able to choose from a wide variety of suitors at this point. And I think wherever he goes, somebody's going to get an incredible baseball player."
Poor finish could lead to changes: Philadelphia's poor finish has the team adjusting its preparations and expectations for 2019. Kapler wants players to play hard through seven months.
"The way you prepare for it to happen is by building emotional armor, physical armor, in the offseason, and kind of the mental preparation that this is going to happen," he said. "I'm not sure that everybody was 100 percent prepared for that outcome. And when we're sitting in the middle of July and we are in first place, and we are a very good baseball team, I think it just we could have prepared for that moment a little bit better, mentally, physically, and emotionally."
He hinted at additional rules.
"I continue to trust in our players to police the clubhouse, to raise the bar for one another, and to support each other," he said. "That doesn't mean that we won't have a few more boundaries in place to help guide that outcome."
Losing his home: Kapler's offseason was disrupted by the loss of his home in Malibu, California, due to the wild fires.
"We lost a physical thing that we can rebuild. I think that my family shares that sentiment," he said. "Look, we're disappointed. We're human beings. You lose a home, and that's tough. But we used it and we continue to use it as an opportunity to shine light on people who don't have the resources that we have and who aren't able to rebuild as quickly as we are."


Visitors to Snug Harbour Resort should know that they are literally within paddling distance of one of the "jewels" of Eastern Ontario: Frontenac Park. Although Frontenac Park has a myriad of trails and lakes, guests of Snug Harbour Resort have the unique opportunity to explore Frontenac Park from there very own doorstep-via Mitchell Creek. This creek flows into Birch and Kingsford Lakes which border on the park. Here, visitors can access a variety of trails and smaller interior lakes as well as camping sites #7, 8, and 11. Please read the following to find out more about Frontenac Park.
Frontenac is one of several provincial parks situated within the Frontenac Axis, the southern arm of the Canadian Shield that extends down into New York state. This geological anomaly is responsible for the land forms in the area that are typically found further north, and for a mix of northern and southern plants and wildlife peculiar to the region. The geology of the park is complex, with several distinct zones. Generally, the park terrain is rugged.
Frontenac is home to many unusual species of bird including eagle, turkey vulture, red-tailed hawk, cliff swallow, loon, osprey, heron, kingbird, kingfisher, warbler, vireo, red shouldered hawk, and ruffled grouse. White tail deer and black bear are common. Coyotes, red fox, otter, mink, weasel, raccoons and other small mammals abound. Beavers are also abundant. In fact, beaver activities, along with the terrain's poor drainage, are two factors behind the many varieties of wetlands found here.
With more than 170 kilometers of trails some winding through the Moulton Gorge, the Arkon Lake Bog, the Black Lake homestead, the Crab Lake Mine, and other interesting sites. The many lakes provide good canoeing, linked with clearly marked portages. The park also offers swimming, fishing and hiking. Visitors can obtain permits at the trail center on Otter Lake, and head out from there, on foot or by canoe, into the park's interior.
The park is popular year-round for day-use visitors, and campers, with 48 interior campsites. A wilderness skills training program is offered in both summer and winter seasons giving instruction in a range of topics including: winter camping trip planning; wilderness first aid; canoe and paddle workshop; and wilderness navigation.

The gripping story of the man who was the American Revolution's moral compass—Ira Stoll tells readers who Samuel Adams was, why he has been forgotten, and why he must be remembered.
Thomas Jefferson called Samuel Adams "truly the man of the Revolution." Adams, filled with religious fervor, inspired others to fight on and overcome the challenges of the Revolutionary War. He was the editor of the influential Boston Gazette, planner of the Boston Tea Party, and signer of the Declaration of Independence, and yet, he is largely ignored and unknown today. Understanding the leading part Adams played in building and sustaining support for the revolutionary cause gives readers new insight into the way religion motivated the founding of America.


People who are on benefits are usually the ones who are not able to work anymore due to age or a disability. They can also be employed individuals whose incomes are not enough to cover other expenses. While banks and lending facilities are likely to accept only those who have high earnings, there are still other financial options to choose from when you're looking for cash loans on benefits.
Indeed, such people who are receiving public assistance can acquire quick cash loans during a financial crisis. In fact, they are more likely to obtain approval because lenders don't see them as high risk; they receive regular welfare benefits, therefore, they are more capable of repaying. As long as you are able to meet the basic requirements, such as the age, bank account, and residency, then you can acquire the loan you need without providing any proof of income.
Contrary to the belief that banks only accept those who are employed, recipients of welfare benefits can take advantage of loans from banks and credit unions. If you have an account with a certain bank for over a year and you have good credit ratings, your loan application can be granted in a matter of days.
Anybody who is suffering from a financial fiasco can receive this kind of loan, regardless if they receive benefits or not. Nonetheless, the basic criteria must be met, meaning the borrower must be of legal age. Also, the loan seeker's purpose for borrowing the loan should be used to overcome an emergency, natural calamity, and/or to fund daily expenses. However, the amount is small and it can be utilized only for a short time. Nevertheless, it doesn't charge any fees or interest.
The development of technology allowed impossible things to become possible; loan application, for instance, can be achieved online. Although most people see it as risky, borrowing money over the Internet is easy and convenient. Moreover, they only require a few prerequisites, making the entire process is quick and simple.
This type of loan comes in many names, such as cash advance, credit check advance, etc. One advantage of payday loans is that is offers fixed rate, therefore, the borrower knows the exact amount that he needs to pay should the maturity of the loan come. Lenders do not impose hidden charges, however, it comes with expensive interest rates. Nonetheless, payday loans provide easy and quick financial solution so you can resolve your emergency bills as soon as possible.
A car title loan is a secured type of loan, meaning, you are putting your car as a security against the loan. If you own a car with a clean title and fully-paid loan, you can use your automobile as a way to borrow money. However, you should keep in mind to repay on time to avoid additional charges or worse, defaulting, as you may lose your car.

Average housing loans of household-dwelling units with housing loans EUR 100,030
In 2018, the debt-to-income ratio of household-dwelling units with housing loans was, on average, 217 per cent. Debts relative to income were highest for household-dwelling units of those aged under 35, whose debts were slightly over triple their disposable annual monetary income. On average, the housing loan of household-dwelling units with housing loans amounted to EUR 100,030, which was 0.2 per cent more than in 2017.
Rates of indebtedness of household-dwelling units with housing loans by the age of the reference person in 2002–2018, %
In 2018, there were 1.4 million indebted household-dwelling units, that is, 53 per cent of all household-dwelling units. Their total debt amounted to EUR 123 billion, which in real terms was 0.6 per cent more than in the previous year. The number of indebted household-dwelling units has gone up by eleven per cent and debts have grown in real terms by 118 per cent since 2002.
The disposable monetary income of household-dwelling units grew in total by 2.2 per cent from the previous year, that is, more than debts, so the indebtedness rate of household-dwelling units fell slightly. In 2018, the indebtedness rate of all household-dwelling units was 111 per cent, while it was 112 per cent in the year before.
Of debts, EUR 87.8 billion or 71 per cent were housing loans. Around one third of all household-dwelling units or 877,500 had housing loans. Housing loans grew by 0.1 per cent from the previous year. Housing loans do not include shareholders' share of housing company loans. In all, 84,400 household-dwelling units had debts taken out for business purposes amounting to EUR 8.2 billion, which was 9.7 per cent more than in the previous year. Household-dwelling units' other debts amounted to EUR 27.0 billion, 0.2 per cent less than in the year before. Other debts include study loans and loans taken out for consumption or large purchases, such as a car or holiday home.
For almost one-fifth of indebted household-dwelling units, that is, 263,530, debts were at least three times as high as their disposable annual income. They held 48 per cent of all household-dwelling units' debts. In all, 64,240 household-dwelling units or 4.5 per cent of indebted household-dwelling units had debts that were at least five times as high as their annual income. They held 17 per cent of all household-dwelling units' debts.
Two-supporter household-dwelling units with children where the reference person was aged 25 to 44 had a lot of debt compared to their disposable income. Large debts were most common for childless one or two-adult household-dwelling units aged 25 to 34. Single supporters with housing loans also had much debt compared to income.
Large housing loans were found most in household-dwelling units living in Åland, Greater Helsinki and elsewhere in Helsinki-Uusimaa. In all, 42 per cent of household-dwelling units with housing loans in Åland, 37 per cent in Greater Helsinki and 33 per cent elsewhere in Helsinki-Uusimaa had debts that were at least triple compared with their annual income. The number of large housing loans was lowest in Northern and Eastern Finland, where nearly one quarter of household-dwelling units with housing loans had that much debt.
Of the household-dwelling units belonging to the lowest income quintile, 42 per cent had debts that were at least triple compared with their annual income, while 24 per cent of the household-dwelling units in the highest income quintile had that much debt. Household-dwelling units belonging to the lowest income quintile had an average of EUR 64,480 in housing loans and those in the highest income quintile EUR 130,920.
Household-dwelling units paid EUR 1.7 billion in interests in 2018. The interest expenses of household-dwelling units decreased by 0.1 per cent from the previous year. From 2002 to 2018, household-dwelling units' interest expenses have diminished in real terms by 43 per cent, while their debts have more than doubled during the same period. Of indebted household-dwelling units, 60 per cent, or 858,700, paid at most EUR 1,000 in interests and three per cent, or 38,800 household-dwelling units over EUR 5,000.

Regarded as a classic among infrared motion detectors, it has been further improved with even more horizontal and vertical adjustment angles. Capable of targeted detection along buildings with a 140° angle of coverage, a reach of up to 14m and even more detection levels, the IS 140-2 watches over even greater areas. Further improvements mean its optical system is now fitted with precision, spherical Fresnel lenses that detect people with even greater precision and provide uniquely constant reach. The unit swivels through 180° and tilts through 90° for exact adjustment of the detection zone. The detection zone can also be customised using the shrouds provided. On the IS 140-2, time and twilight threshold are easily adjusted by the control dial underneath the sensor lens. The classic detector, now with even more class.

Staff was friendly and helpful. This was my first visit with Dr. June and she got to know me and my medical history. I felt she was really engaged. My wait time was maybe 5 minutes after I filled out all the paperwork.
