The precursor of the Robinson Crusoe in France, Unilend , declared his cessation of payment at the end of September according to a more than insistent rumor. In the absence of a buyer, the platform would therefore be waiting for a decision of the commercial court placing it in liquidation. This announcement would not be surprising considering the low amounts collected by the platform for several months.
First of all, it reminds me of one of my 1st articles entitled ISODEV's Death will it serve as an example to platforms? I have the good impression that NO!
The Commercial Court of PARIS, pronounced, on the 17/10/2018, the opening of the judicial liquidation under the number P201802566, date of cessation of payments on 03/10/2018, and designated: judge M Olivier Castello liquidator SELARL FIDES in the person of Me Pablo Castanon 5 rue de Palestro 75002 Paris, statements of receivables are to be filed with the liquidator within two months of publication in the bodacc
What will become of the current loans?
According to the statistics page of the platform, the loans remaining to be repaid represent nearly 12 million euros and one can only wonder if the borrowers will continue to repay!
For the first time in France, a platform will end its activity, without subsequent management of loans by another player . Recall that the last platform that ended its activities, namely Finsquare had been taken over. Let us also remember that Lendix had to put the package to recover all loans overdue, they must also bite their fingers! And lenders can thank them on this point!
Even if the regulation provides a continuity clause with the payment provider, who will ensure the recovery? We have regularly asked these questions on the forum and we will unfortunately be able to answer them soon …
So is there a market in France?
The last barometer showed a slight increase in the amounts financed on the platforms. With this bad news, we can therefore wonder if there really is a market in France.
Indeed, Unilend was the first platform to launch. It had also managed to raise several times money, namely € 8 million in 2015, then € 2.5 million from New Alpha in 2016, a total of € 10.5 million, placing it among the best capitalized platforms.

Wine Tasting in Temecula
So, you want to go wine tasting in Temecula, California – but there are so many wineries – what's a wine lover to do? Tell me – are you interested in a few tastes at really great wineries? or are you interested in eating a great meal as well? Either way, your palette won't be disappointed.
Due to our unique climate, Temecula is most amenable to the Italian reds. A climate that is warm in the day, cool at night, with the ocean breezes and misty mornings, which I have been told is the perfect combination for the Sangiovese, Syrah, Cabernet, and Barbera grape varietals. What does this mean to you? It means that one does not need to drive eight hours up the coast to Napa or Sonoma to taste fine wine or to fill your cellars with pricey "brand names." A tour of Temecula Wineries is just the thing to get you in the spirits for this holiday season.
The best day to go wine tasting is Monday through Thursday. Come on a weekend, if you must; but wine tasting on a weekday will all but guarantee that you will actually get more out of your tasting experience than arm-wrestling with a limo full of tipsy bachelorettes jockeying for elbowroom at the tasting bars.
For the most relaxing, yet sensory experience – I highly recommend starting with an early lunch at Ponte – one of my favorite outdoor lunchtime spots. GREAT food, excellent wine pairings. Then, you can either taste at the lovely tasting room there, or move on to some of the others.
South Coast Winery is truly a destination in and of itself. It boasts a fantastic, sweeping landscape – villas where one can enjoy all of the pampering of a 5 star spa – and a heated pool to bask in the sun while sipping Chardonnay. Their dining experience is a must for a night on the town, save for the cheesy player-less piano music – and you can book ahead for private or patio dining. This is a fabulous way to end up your trip if you don't want to drive home. For day tasting, however, the tasting room is a bit cavernous; though their wine is is spectacular, don't get me wrong. I am a huge fan of the Cabernet, the Ruby Cuvee (a sparkling Syrah). Plus, I have many friends who work there, which makes the whole experience quite pleasant.
Wilson Creek, at the far end, just redid their tasting room – I haven't been there, but their dessert wines are delicious. Almond Champagne, and their dessert wines, such as port is a must try. The grounds are flower filled and the tasting room has just been updated.
Stewart Cellars offers a fantastic Cabernet, among other things, and has the feel of one of the "old" Temecula wineries. The staff is quite knowledgeable and you might learn a thing or two while sipping.
On your way out, I'd definitely give Hart a try – it's very small, but OLD Temecula, one of the first wineries, and the owners are usually mulling about. GREAT Barbera – and other rich, Italian reds. Talk about old Temecula!
Remember, always have a designated driver, or look up a ride from one of the many places to stay in town. The Grapeline offers stops at wineries throughout – or you can plan a private tour through DesTem.com.
For more information, a private tour, or a tasting-buddy, don't hesitate to leave me a comment!

As we stand, Aidy Ward is saying Sterling will not sign, even for a billion quid a week or some bollocks. In the meantime, Brendan Rodgers is adamant that Sterling will see out his contract, either way it's going to be a crap situation for the club to be in. He leaves? We're all pissed off about the manner in which he has left and the real possibility of him playing for a rival team. He stays? We're pissed off because he's been a bit of an arsehole and he seems incapable of mending the wounds he has created.
I'm sick of it all to be honest, he's not even that good a player. He's clearly brimming with potential but he only flourishes when he has stars around him. Most clubs who are after him will not support him like we do here at Liverpool, he won't start anywhere near as many games at some clubs in my opinion and he risks ruining a likely glittering career.
So, there's my two pence.
Injuries for Liverpool mean they are unable to call upon Jon Flanagan, Daniel Sturridge and Mamadou Sakho (late fitness test). Mario Balotelli has also picked up a knock but it's not like he'd get a start anyway...
For Stoke, manager Mark Hughes has Moses and Krkic out, with Ireland also due to undergo a late fitness test after suffering a back problem.
The last time the two sides met was in November last year. Games against Stoke aren't usually that memorable but I'll never forget this one when Glen Johnson appeared out of nowhere with a heroic 85th minute diving header whilst getting kicked in the head to secure Liverpool all three points. It is easily the best thing Glen Johnson has ever done.
The Reds last meeting at the Britannia was also one to remember as Liverpool won 5-3. An own goal from Ryan Shawcross kicked off proceedings for Brendan Rodgers' side followed by a Luis Suarez brace, a Gerrard penalty and a goal from Daniel Sturridge.
Our record against Stoke on their home turf is a bit hit and miss and to be honest I can't see us winning tomorrow. I am hoping that Gerrard can stamp some magic on the game in his final appearance for the club but I honestly think it'll be a draw tomorrow.
Stat Sandwich
- Liverpool have scored just 51 goals this season which is 48 less than they amassed last season.
- Stoke have lost just one of their last six matches in the league.
- Steven Gerrard will make his 710th appearance on Sunday against Stoke.
Usually no matter what has happened in the season you manage to find at least some excitement for the final game but I'm really struggling to be honest, I've just been pissed off the whole season haha! I'll probably have a few bets on the game though so keep an eye on my Twitter.
Enjoy the match folks, wherever you are watching and pop back on Monday for the final match report of the season!

The Audi of Mike Rockenfeller experienced was the fastest in free practice at the Circuit de contested DTM Hockenheimring Baden Wurttemberg.
The session started with BMW, and Audi's have mostly taken the initiative and started dominating the early stages of training. Timo Scheider (Audi Sport Team Abt) dominated the timesheets for more than a second apart. But Mercedes appeared with its main figure, Gary Paffet (Euronics AMG Mercedes), who got first to the second half of Timo Scheider. Paffet extended the distance to another perfect lap.
Meanwhile, the Catalan Lloret de Mar, Miguel Molina (Audi Sport Team Phoenix) stopped to box after completing five laps, finishing in ninth place at the time.

Finally first position followed by Rockenfeller and Mattias Ekström Augusto Farfus. Tenth Merhi, Molina fourteenth and nineteenth Juncadella.

Well, this is a good question. Basically the
similarity is that both air and water are driven
at the planetary scale by the Sun. The earth
is heated non-uniformly because its spin axis is
not 90 degrees to the plane of the earth's orbit
around Mr.SUN. Because of that, more of the Sun's
radiant energy falls on the earth between 20
degree North and 20 degree South latitude, more or
less what we call the TROPICs or sub Tropics.
Because of this unequal distribution of heat from
the Sun, the atmosphere gets heated and hence
comes to lower density (hot air rises) and
these buoyancy forces give rise to motion.
Now, the oceans also respond to this unequal
heating, but because the ocean is a viscous
fluid (more viscous than the air), and because
it is denser, the fluid dynamics is different in
detail; but still the major ocean currents are
related to the ocean trying to more evenly
distribute the heat that comes into the ocean,
most in the low latitudes. This is an example of
the Second Law of Thermodynamics applied to
EARTH. The ocean/atmosphere system acts to even
out or redistribute the incoming heat as best as
it can.
Of course we need to take account of the earth's
spin and the configuration of the ocean basins and
continents and even the tides due to the Moon and
Sun. These are all complications as is the
presence of ice and of salty water. However,
basically the redistribution of energy is what
makes the air and oceans to move.

(This is Day 27 in a write 31 days challenge. Click here for the title page )
That morning Mary's husband opened their family laptop to check the news and his wife's social media page was still open, there was also a chat box open.
It appeared to be some guy she knew. He felt kind of snoopy reading allof the messages but by the time he finished, Mary's husband felt very alarmed about the state of their marriage.
Clearly his wife was not happy or she wouldn't be talking to this schmuck the way she was. It appeared that they better have some deeper conversations or they weren't going to make it. He instantly took blame and wondered how he had failed. However, the emotions competing alongside were hurt and fear of losing his beloved wife.
He sunk into the couch, placed his head in his hands… he didn't know what to do. He remembered that Scripture said if anyone asks for wisdom and asks for it that wisdom shall be given unto them. Quietly, he prayed and asked God for wisdom. He remembered then that God promised to never leave him nor forsake him. He remembered that he was commanded to love his wife as Christ loved the church, even to lay down his life for her. He thanked God and asked for strength to approach his wife in a way that would be pleasing to God and consistent with His will.
As Mary walked into the kitchen, he approached her. He didn't want to make her angry because then they wouldn't have a good conversation, but he had to ask. Mary sensed something was up, her husband was acting strange.
As he approached, he said that she had left her social media window open last night. She knew instantly what had happened. Her sense of guilt and shame was a heavy weight on her shoulders.
How is it that last night she was so prepared to be deceitful and lie about meeting her friend and potentially cross a very forbidden line and right now the instantaneous knowledge of wrongdoing permeated her whole being.
She was ashamed that she had denied her own husband to spend time with this guy online last night and that she had found her comfort and relief from stress in a glass of wine instead of seeking the Lord and her husband.
Mary felt slightly indignant that he had snooped, but the reality was that she had something to hide and He discovered it, she was the one doing wrong and getting caught.
She dissolved into tears and humbly confessed her sins, asking God to forgive her and show her the way. Mary loved her husband and kids, she couldn't figure out how she had been so duped into believing that life without them together could be better.
He took the day off from work and Mary called her mom to take the kids for the day.
The had some talking to do.
Dear Uncle,
I desperately need your guidance!
I am just not sure what I am doing wrong!
I have worked so hard to develop this attraction and distraction for Mary. I have tried so hard to encourage her to be discontent at home! I have stirred lust and longing. I have pushed the buttons of insecurity and self-loathing.
I have stressed her and planted thoughts of not being worthy.
I have then presented solutions to her problems in the way of a new man and presented her with a fix to all her distress, a new future.
WHY has she not taken the bait and fallen yet?!
What have I done wrong??
Please help,
Dear young Sepitus,
I already knew this all would happen.
We have hoped, here in the ranks, that you would be stronger than predicted.
As I suspected, you were not enough to change the outcome.
One thing you have taken for granted with these assignments and not clearly not respected enough is that they are Chosen Ones.
They are not in our kingdom, they are in His, our Enemy.
Our job was to make them defeated and ineffective.
The Chosen Ones have access at a moment's notice to the power of the Son of God. His power far outweighs any defense you can put up.
The ones belonging to our world are the easiest targets, they have no access to Heaven. Our only hope is to not have heaven's attention truned onto us.
We thought perhaps you were ready for this kind of challenging assignment, you have proven otherwise.
I have no influence over what they do to you in the discipline department. I only hope you make it through and I can continue with your apprenticeship later.
Your Uncle Savant

"If our success depended on my celebrity in the last century," says Kathy Ireland of her design and marketing company, "we'd all be unemployed." (kathy ireland Worldwide)
Former supermodel Kathy Ireland learned about facing down adversity on the first day of her newspaper route at age 11. The job's ad had called for a boy to deliver the heavy papers by bike, but she insisted that she could do it.
"One man was standing in his driveway as I came up and started yelling that it was a boy's job and I'd never last," Ireland told IBD during a break on the set of one of her TV shows in Los Angeles. "I was determined not to let him see me cry and to prove him wrong."
She was named her delivery district's Carrier of the Year three times in a row. Later, she learned to develop a thick skin as a model who didn't fit everyone's idea of perfect. This lifetime of building resilience came in handy when she launched privately-held kathy ireland Worldwide (kiWW) in 1993. ("The lowercase k and i are intentional, because the company isn't all about me, it's about our team and the customers," she explained.)
The former runway star became a runaway success, with over 17,000 products now carried in 50,000 stores across 50 countries, ringing up $2.6 billion in retail sales last year, giving her a net worth of $360 million (just under that of Barbra Streisand on Forbes' list of self-made women).
Ireland, 54, was born in Glendale, Calif., and at 3 her family moved to Santa Barbara, Calif. (where she still lives with her physician husband, three children and four dogs). At 4, she was selling painted rocks out of her wagon. An indifferent student and shy tomboy, her parents sent her to a finishing school where the Elite Modeling Agency discovered her in 1980 at 16.
Four years later, she was featured in the first of 13 consecutive Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues, and when she was put on the cover in 1989, it became the best-selling edition of all time. (She also appeared on the cover in 1992 and 1994.)
Knocking Their Socks Off
Ireland tried to diversify her career without much success until 1993 when, pregnant and 30, she launched her first product: socks. Everyone told her she'd fail because she should have started with a swimsuit, but she believed she could design a better foot-warmer. In partnership with marketer John Moretz, and after taking out a $50,000 personal loan, she took the first step to selling over 100 million pairs.
The following year, she signed an exclusive agreement to sell her expanding clothing line at Kmart (now part of Sears Holdings (SHLD)). By 1999, the growth of kiWW was so impressive that she was named Businesswoman of the Year by the National Association of Women Business Owners. When Kmart filed for bankruptcy three years later, Ireland refused to abandon it as they worked through the enormous challenges, even when her bank threatened to seize her family's assets.
"I learned from Warren Buffett, when we worked with him on our carpet line, that you need to find stores which can deliver a great customer-service experience, so we began shifting our distribution to independent specialty retailers, which have been the key to our success," said Ireland. "We had lucrative offers from chains to be exclusive, which would have given us much more visibility and fast growth, but also would have put a ceiling on our potential. We could see that brick-and-mortar would be increasingly challenged and our new strategy avoided being entangled in more bankruptcies."
She and Stephen Roseberry, kiWW's president, often begin their day with sales calls while she uses her time efficiently by being driven to one of her offices.
"If we're getting rejected, I want to know what we can do better," she said. "If there is a misconception about our brand, we want to clear it up. It still shocks me that some people think I would just slap my name on a product. If our success depended on my celebrity in the last century, we'd all be unemployed. To make a product move, you need much more than an autographed photo, you have to have all the right design elements, infrastructure, a sales team, and creative marketing."
Developing True Partnerships
Ireland says kiWW has a unique business model that starts with licensing products. (The magazine License! Global ranks her No. 26 among the most powerful brands, just behind Ferrari and ahead of Ralph Lauren.)
"We carefully vet everyone we work with to be sure we share the same values," she explained. "We have thorough contracts, but then we put them in a drawer to work together like a family, hoping for the best. Our aim is to become full, formal partners so that we have a powerful relationship in which we are mutually invested. Probably close to 90% of these work out well and we've had some partnerships for 15 to 24 years, compared with an average of just a few years elsewhere."
The hybrid of licensing and partnerships covers a vast array of products and services, stretching from the NuGene line of stem cell-based cosmetics to offering insurance customized for entrepreneurs. As part of this boundary-stretching business model, she is the chief creative officer for virtual reality company Endeavor One and lifestyle brand I'M1, part of Level Brands — doing everything from producing music festivals to making films.
Roseberry says that her fierce dedication to combining innovative quality with affordability has enabled kiWW to successfully enter new markets, like diamond jewelry (hers has a patented design), that would otherwise be virtually impossible to penetrate. He said that Ireland's brand also helps one of her primary target audiences, busy moms like herself, simplify the choices they face by knowing they can trust her judgment.
Ireland says she's very careful about picking the right "brand ambassadors" and is especially excited by Katie Meade for the Beauty & Pin-Ups line of hair care products.
"She's the first person with Down syndrome to be the spokesmodel for a beauty brand and she's turning the industry on its head," said Ireland. "Beautiful people come in every size, color and age, and I rejected the idea from my early career that everyone should have the goal of unobtainable sameness in their appearance."
Helping Business Talk To Customers
After working her way up in an industry that told her to just "shut up and pose," Ireland expresses a passion for enabling companies to get their messages out.
"Too many aren't covered by mainstream media or, when they are, what is said or written about them is garbled or inaccurate," she explained. "All TV is sponsored — we're just more transparent about helping leaders and experts talk about what they do." Her "Worldwide Business" interviews are broadcast on Fox Business on Sundays and are available in 50 countries, while "Modern Living," aimed at consumers, is on E! Thursdays and airs via Bloomberg International and other networks.
Perhaps the best evidence that Ireland is recognized as one of the top living entrepreneurs is that each year she's invited to the Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA) annual shareholder meeting with Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Since she and Buffett delivered newspapers as kids, the three of them compete with attendees to see who can throw them most accurately.
"From the people cleaning the warehouses to the CEOs of the global companies we work with, Kathy believes everyone deserves the same amount of respect," said Roseberry. "She doesn't tell us what to do, she shows us what must be done. She doesn't believe in making excuses and is always an inspiration. Kathy's business proves that for her, love is a verb."
Ireland's Eight Lessons
"Never compromise your character to achieve any goal."
"Don't think less of yourself, think of yourself less."
"It takes years to build trust and respect, but a moment to destroy it."
"When someone tells you no, ask why."
"It's great to have goals, but don't forget to enjoy the journey."
"Own money; never let it own you."
"Discover, live, and practice your boundaries and beliefs."
"Your amazing spirit is strong enough to overcome any obstacle."
Ireland's Keys
Former supermodel became a supermogul branding everything from flooring to wedding destinations.
Overcame: Bankruptcy of Kmart, the exclusive outlet for her products, in 2002.
Lesson: When you put your name on something, be sure you have hands-on control of its quality.

Ice Mother's Adventures In Figure Skating

Figure skating is one of the toughest, toughest and most brutal sports in the world, but for me personally it's also the most lovable magical thing in the world. Ice hockey is among the most well liked sports activities played and watched in the united states. Furthermore, many cultural activities and sculpture contests will be held throughout the fair.
Most educated players that are skating with the puck is not going to even pass the puck for their teammates when their sticks are not on the ice. It was a fun way to pass some of those bitter cold winter. I have seen many parents go to skate shops without doing their study and invest way too much cash on skates their child is not likely to have the ability to break in and be gloomy in! For parents that are new to ice skating, choosing the right toddler ice skates can end up being a feat. Even though there are tons of options, stick with a fundamental model that does not have any intense blade curves or is super stiff when it has to do with the flex rating. Subsequently the puck somehow found the stick of Mark Johnson back again. I sat at the DJ booth and attempted on three graying pairs of skates with the assistance of this rink attendant until I found the right pair, previously his daughter. My teacher was stretching me to my spiral and it hurts really much; will the Maxiflex help?

New Orleans police will no longer cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, a momentous change likely to elicit denunciations from opponents of such "sanctuary city" policies.
The new regulations mark a sharp departure for a department that until recently actively participated in immigration sweeps and detained people suspected of being in the country illegally.
The new policy, which went into effect Sunday (Feb. 28), forbids officers from so much as inquiring into an individual's immigration status.
That provision and others stem in part from court-supervised reform agenda, the result of lawsuits alleging unconstitutional policing practices. Despite that consent decree, the NOPD had been slow to formally adopt a "bias-free policing" policy.
The Congress of Day Laborers, a New Orleans immigration rights group, has been pushing the NOPD to overhaul its immigration policy for two years. The group has documented several cases of what it said was discriminatory policing, including the investigation of residents' immigration status during routine interactions, such as traffic stops.

Realizing that the bulk of my writing lately has concerned nothing more notable than my baking endeavors, the giant bug in my basement, and the mutant rhubarb in my backyard, I tried to compile a list of things I could perhaps tell you about tonight. Here is what I came up with.
- Wine on tap
- Facebook - lied to my mother
- Books & Bars sex book
- Digging
- 64 degrees in house
- Flickr freaks
- [Name] (redacted)
- Wine on tap - For last weekend's camping trip, I decided to forgo the bulky, inconvenient glass bottles and bring a tasty and economical Black Box instead. For little more than the price of two bottles, I got four bottles' worth of wine, which I figured I would share with fellow campers and have little if any left over. As it turned out, my friend Amy had the same idea, and between her box of wine and the several bottles that other campers offered up on the picnic table at our camp site, I came home with my entire box minus only maybe a glass or three. I have often thought that boxed wine might be a good idea to keep on hand, that if I could pour just one glass from an air-tight vessel that stays fresh for a month or more, I could enjoy wine with dinner whenever the mood strikes, without being tempted to finish the whole bottle in a night or two to avoid waste. As it turns out, wine on tap is not the best idea after all. In fact, it makes it entirely too easy to say, "Hmm. A little wine might be nice right now. Oh look! I have some RIGHT HERE! I don't even have to open a new bottle!" And since the fill level is all neatly tucked away in a bag behind the cover of a cardboard box, I don't have a helpful visual aid to remind me when one glass has somehow become three. Note to self: Wine on tap = NOT such a brilliant plan after all, unless my brilliant plans also include becoming a full-fledged (rather than merely occasional, borderline) wino. (Secondary note: They do not.) Cue the "The more you know" jingle; that's one to grow on, folks.
- Facebook - lied to my mother - My mother has been on Facebook for over two weeks now, and still her only friends are my two sisters and me, which only serves to prove my theory that she joined for no other reason than to
try to become closer tospy on the three of us. Today is her birthday, so I called her to say hello, and in the course of conversation, she said, "What I don't understand is, why, when I look at [younger sister]'s page, can I see the things her friends posted and the things she's posted, too, but when I look at your page or [older sister]'s, I can see only things your friends posted?" There are several correct answers to this question. "Because I have cruelly blocked you from viewing my status updates and links because I don't want you to know too much about my life or to leave mom-ish comments on my page" is one. "Because you weren't supposed to be smart enough to figure out that you saw anything different on my page vs. anyone else's" is another. Instead, I just said, "I don't know; different settings?" and then quickly changed the subject. Yes, I lied to my mother. On her birthday, no less. I'm sure it's not the first nor the last time Facebook will make me do something I'm not entirely proud of. Let's just move on, shall we?
- Books & Bars sex book - I have been meaning to check out the Twin Cities' most irreverent book club for over a year now, and last month, Carrie and I finally went. The book was the one that's been sitting in my sidebar for well over a month now, because despite my being a goody-goody, homework-is-not-optional girl all through my schooling, apparently I have few qualms about showing up for a book discussion only halfway through the assigned reading as an adult. I'm not doing much better this month, as the next event is on Tuesday and I still have well over a hundred pages of Bonk to read yet. I don't read a lot of nonfiction, and Bonk is a particularly unique brand of nonfiction. As I'm reading, I can't help thinking perhaps it's a strange form of erotica that works only on nerds. A science book wouldn't usually remind me that I'm not, shall we say, getting any, and yet last night, before I shut down my computer and went off to bed, I sent Carrie an email to say I was "off to read about sex for a bit and then go to sleep without any, as per usual." I'm more than a little curious to see what sort of discussion this book, um, arouses on Tuesday night. (Come on, I had to go there, right? Cheap joke or not, surely you understand.)
- Digging - Because every project I ever initiate inevitably takes at least three times longer than I originally estimated, I am still digging up the five feet or so of lawn in front of my house in preparation for my efforts to plant something more equity-enhancing there. I really don't have anything to say about this; frankly, it was on this list only because when I am fixated on a project, it seems entirely more important and interesting in my head than it is to anyone else. Moving on.
- 64 degrees in house - I am typing away in my hobo gloves again tonight, because although it is June, it is currently 64 degrees in my house, and because it is June, I refuse to turn on my furnace to do anything about that. I was irked about this for much of the day, until I remembered that I actually much prefer 64 degrees in my house to 94 degrees in here. Unseasonably cold days in so-called summer aren't all bad, I suppose.
- Flickr freaks - I've grown accustomed enough to living much of my life online that I don't typically think too much anymore about posting my personal photos to Flickr and leaving them public for the world to see. If strangers really want to view my boring, poorly executed photo sets from trips with my friends, so be it. But when a grown man with a mud-play obsession marks photos of my friend's daughter playing in a mudpit at a state park as a favorite, should I be a bit skeeved out? And when the admin for a "socks and sandals lovers" group asks that I add my "I rock the socks and sandals" pic to their pool, do I oblige and add the photo, or do I write back to explain that I do not, in fact, lack all fashion sense, and I photographed my feet in socks and sandals only because it was too cold that morning for sandals alone but I was too lazy to return to the tent for proper shoes before we commenced a post-breakfast walk? As with so many situations in my life, I have resolved both of these dilemmas by simply ignoring them. I have to say, though: it takes all kinds. Weirdos abound on the Internet, and Flickr is not exempt.
- [Name] (redacted) - The montage reel continues, but it's sped up to make a loop almost up to the present. At an event Thursday night, I ran into yet another one-date boy. This time, it was the guy I deemed my best date of '08. I actually sort of expected to run into that one again eventually. As I keep saying, the city is shrinking, and he and I have enough in common that we were bound to cross paths again. I did not expect to see him that night, though, and was inexplicably thrown enough that our polite, perfunctory conversation was definitely far from my best work, banter-wise. People, I feel I've lost my mojo. Or rather, what mojo I at one point had. I am reportedly bright and charming and by some accounts even hilarious when I am not trying. When it actually matters, I become that mousy girl from my graduating class who said probably fewer than 30 words all through high school. (Interesting sidenote: That girl is married. The world is a strange, baffling place sometimes.) I've been wondering if perhaps I should contact The Traffic Engineer again. Maybe another dinner with him would press the Reset button and restore my shaken confidence somehow. That's not particularly fair to The Traffic Engineer, however, and actually doesn't sound like a particularly good time to me, either. So instead I'll just hope, as seems likely, that all things are cyclical, and things will align and be set right again eventually. That or it's time to admit defeat and resign myself to a life of plucky hermitude--a life I actually embrace more often than may be normal.

Attention: TGI Fridays now has bacon-crusted ribs
Baby back ribs: not only are they more than an Austin Powers character callback, but they're now available at TGI Fridays covered in applewood-smoked bacon. There are four other ways that are probably also good... but they don't have the added benefit of BEING COVERED IN BACON.
The move is part of Fridays' new $10 "rib flight", in which you get to choose three out of five varieties of baby back ribs: chipotle smoked BBQ, sweet Memphis rub, Tennessee BBQ, Famous Jack Daniel's, and that bacon-crusted option. The bacon ribs also include a "spicy-sweet chipotle & onion relish", but you've gotta get through the bacon to see that, in case you needed another reminder who the real star of the show is.
Adam Lapetina is a Food/Drink staff writer, and his heart is bacon-crusted. Read his musings at @adamlapetina.

Stress for American teenagers rivals that of adults, according to a recent study by the American Psychological Association (APA). In Stress in America™: Are Teens Adopting Adults' Stress Habits?, Harris Interactive Inc. surveyed 1,950 adults and 1,018 teenagers between August 1 and August 31, 2013 on behalf of the APA to determine whether or not teenagers are taking on the stresses of their adult counterparts, and the results were surprising.
Some stress in life is important, as it helps people to be competitive, achieve goals and generally survive. In fact, without some stress in daily life, the human race would truly not survive, as stress offers a degree of stimulus for the human brain. In fact, all animals have a stress response, and in some cases, this stress response is life saving. What many doctors say is that should the stress response go on for too long, it becomes unhealthy and that's when medical intervention may be required.
As it relates to school, many teenagers say that the stress they experience seems to highly outweigh what they believe to be a healthy level of stress. A third of teens reported that there was sufficient enough stress in their lives that they felt overwhelmed, and an equal third said they felt sad or depressed. Not surprisingly, only 13 percent admitted to feeling stressed in the summer months, while this number climbed to 27 percent during the school year.
Teens also reported that their stress level was ranked on average at 5.8 out of a possible 10, compared to the adults' 5.1 out of 10. In noting that stress for US teens is comparable to that of adults, Tim Conway, who heads up the guidance department at Lakeland Regional High School in Wanaque, New Jersey, says that teens do not feel they can escape the stress when they get home, and in some respects, social media is responsible for that sensation. Family situations can also play a role. Conway also says that he has seen an increasing number of students coming in to his department with issues revolving around personal anxiety or depression.
Roughly a third of teens are also experiencing sleeping issues because of stress, and as can be expected, this stress habit is mirrored in adulthood. In fact, the APA's chief executive Norman Anderson, a clinical psychologist, says that their survey findings resulted in the discovery that many stress behaviors, such as lack of sleep, disinterest in responsibilities or activities, and higher anxiety, begin as early as adolescence for many.
About half of all teens surveyed say they felt their stress level had no impact on their mental health. By contrast, 43 percent of adults said stress had no impact, and 39 percent said stress didn't impact their physical health. Again, half of teens felt that their physical health didn't suffer because of the stress in their lives.
Part of the pressure could be balance, according to school counselor Dave Forrester, who works at Olympia High School in Olympia, Washington. He says there could be students who are trying to balance their schooling while playing three sports and working at a job. Forrester suggests that discussing the issue of balance with teens may head off any issues with stress as they approach adulthood.
Stress for US teens rivals that of adults, but stress is necessary in order for some degree of survival. Forrester suggests that in discussing the issue of balance in students' lives, it's possible that some stress behaviors may be avoided altogether as the teens head into adulthood. However, psychologist Michael Bradley says that parents who try to completely rid their children of any sort of stress are diminishing the resiliency that their children may have in facing future problems. The trick, Bradley suggests, is knowing what level of stress is truly appropriate.

dork·a·hol·ic noun \ˈdȯr-kə-ˈhȯ-lik\
a chronic disorder characterized by dependence on pop culture, repeated and/or excessive use of all things within this realm including, but not limited to, comics, film, gaming, TV and all things 'dork.' The development of withdrawal symptoms includes twitching, insomnia, headaches, the feels, constipation & heartache.
Since launching in 2014, Dorkaholics has been enhancing the world of comic books and pop culture through its in-depth reporting and commentary to fans both old and new alike. Our goal has and always will be to make the massive multiverses of pop culture less intimidating by serving it in a friendly, digestible manner.
We remember our first comic convention and how intimidating things were at first, with the long lines for badges and dense exhibition halls. Luckily for us, we not only had each other, but we met incredibly kind people at these events, from fellow attendees to exhibitors to panel moderators to our favorite industry professionals.
Those amazing individuals inspired us to pay it forward and help others freely explore their fandom to their hearts' content. We've all heard of the negative stereotypes fandoms can have: snobby know-it-alls and elitist gatekeepers. We believe Dorkaholics can better, we can counter those uninviting personas, and we can create a pop culture experience that is for everyone.
Our mission is twofold: (1) provide coverage on pop culture and entertainment that excites and informs fans across different generations (2) use the storytelling across all mediums in pop culture as a framework for discussing real-world issues important to us, such as representation in the media, racism, and toxic masculinity.
We value Curiosity and Boldness.
To truly go above and beyond in our line of work, we must always maintain a curiosity for the truth, the unknown, and the wonder in life. Whether it's investigating a new story, looking for a new angle to cover, or finding the reason a topic deserves reporting, a sense of curiosity will illuminate the path and guide us in our work.
In order to break new ground and build where nothing has existed before, a sense of boldness is required. Boldness asks us to act without hesitation, perform without fear, and to go beyond the social norm. And of course, with boldness, comes the strength and resolve to achieve great things.
The Dorkaholics brand resonates in the hearts of fans looking to connect deeper with their favorite characters and engages with the minds of individuals eager to address real-world problems as their heroes do.
Audentes Fortuna Juvat – "Fortune Favors the Bold"
The culture of Dorkaholics is to take risks, learn quickly, and adapt to a constantly changing world.
We are not afraid of the unknown. We understand the limitations of what we know and what we can learn What works today may not work tomorrow, but regardless, we will continue to give the world more stories about heroes from different walks of life.
Now: Explore the site. Enjoy the content. Embrace your inner dork.

Accommodation in Eastern Cape
Ecca Lodge
Kwandwe Ecca Lodge is a small, 6 suite modern safari lodge which has been designed to be luxurious and family-friendly. It is located on rolling hills within Kwandwe Game Reserve, one of the best reserves in the Eastern Cape.
The suites at Kwandwe Ecca are very stylishly furnished with a mixture of clean, trendy pieces and some old collectables from the region. The bedroom, living room and bathroom of the suites at Ecca Lodge all have sliding doors leading out onto a large private veranda. In part of this large wooden deck is a private plunge pool and an outdoor shower. There is a pool, as well as a small library room, with a television where you can sit and enjoy wildlife DVDs.
Ecca's original, inventive architecture and décor – which varies from giant Warhole-like prints to retro light fittings – make it a really stylish lodge.
Two children under 16 can share with two adults in the separate lounge area; child rate applies (the number of children sharing with parents is restricted to a max of 4 in camp at any one time). Families are made to feel welcome, and flexible dining arrangements can be made if you would like to eat earlier than other guests.
The lodge also has special activities for children such as a 'Bugs and Bones' walk (a great way to stretch little legs and learn all about this ecologically diverse reserve whilst searching for insects, bones and skulls and being taught how to identify animal tracks and droppings), sand art, face painting, making moulds from Plaster of Paris, beading, chocolate fun (making spider webs and insects from chocolate), and Minnow's fishing trip with a ranger.
Children receive a welcome gift on arrival which includes a Blue Crane Conservation Guide comprising animal checklists, themed games and activities, and a pledge to 'live green' ('Junior' for under 6's and 'Senior' for ages 6 and up), crayons/ pencils, a BPA free water bottle and a 'Frolicking Rhino' range of bath products including shampoo, body lotion and bubble bath (Kwandwe supports the Bespoke Amenities Co., who created this range in support of their efforts to eradicate rhino poaching).
The playroom area is close to the main pool/ lodge area and includes , DVDs and popcorn, eco-educational board games (learning about recycling and the how to care for our planet in a fun way), chocolate mold making, creature cookie baking, and African bedtime stories. An interactive kitchen caters for children, with cooking classes between safari activities, complete with baking and pizza making with specially designed 'Chefs in Training' aprons and toques.
For families with children aged 5 or under, you would need to go on an exclusive drive (additional cost), and for children aged 6 to 11, you can of course also go on an exclusive drive, but it is the lodge manager's discretion for children of this age to go on shared game drives. Children of all ages are welcome to join a 'Horns and Stripes' adventure, a daily one hour morning game drive after breakfast with or without their parents to view 'non-aggressive' game at no additional cost.
In addition to morning and afternoon game drives, guided nature walks, picnics, fishing and boat rides on Galpin Dam are also offered. In the morning you can visit the nearby Mgcamabele Community Centre. In the cooler months here (July/August), the middle of the day can be just as good a time to go on safari as the early morning or late evening.
Extra activities which may be possible – and would usually be booked in advance, and paid for as an extra – include rhino darting, rhino monitoring and 'big game walking safaris'. The latter is a walking trip accompanied by an armed specialist ranger and a tracker team, with the aim of tracking and getting close to some of the reserve's larger game. The lodge normally also has private guides and vehicles which can be booked at additional cost.
Childminders are available at no additional cost and are first-aid trained. The lodge is fenced, and all-in-all, this is one of Africa's best lodges for families.
Eastern Cape
South Africa's 'wild' province, the Eastern Cape features expanses of untouched beach, bush and forest. This was Nelson Mandela's home province, and is an area with some enticing attractions – among them the Addo Elephant National Park, with the densest elephant population in the world; the dramatic Wild Coast; and, of course, Mandela's home at Qunu.
There are some spectacular private game reserves here, including Kwandwe, Shamwari and River Bend (on a private part of Addo).

Popular singer, Kcee explains why celebrities lead fake lives
Nigerian singer, Kingsley Okonkwo, popularly known as Kcee, has explained that celebrities are under constant pressure from fans to lead fake lives.
Kcee, who spoke in an interview with The Punch, said "90 per cent of celebrities lead fake lives because you guys (the public) are putting them under pressure. People don't like it when you are real; they prefer it when you lie to them, and that's why many fake it until they make it.
According to Kcee, "if you are very honest and truthful with them (fans), your records will have slow sales. 80 per cent of celebrities rent apartments but they would claim they bought the houses.
"They go through that because fans put them under so much pressure. That you see someone on television does not mean the person is worth N1bn, so people should stop thinking that we're living in heaven on earth."
Kcee admitted that his 19 years of singing wasn't devoid of the fake like as well.
"To be a celebrity, there is a perception you need to sell so that people can look up to you. I am saying this because I have gone through that and I have passed that stage. I am now successful. There was a time I was driving a Hummer jeep while my then partner, Presh, had his own," he explained.

"We would go to clubs and use all our money to pop champagnes. At the end of the day, we would throw the drinks away and go back home to eat noodles. We wanted to impress people and make them see us as the most expensive artistes."
"When I was in Ajegunle (Lagos) and I got to a level where I needed to leave that area, I used to tell people that I was living in Ikeja, though I was still staying at Ajegunle. Before you knew it, we started living in Ikeja and from there, we moved on to bigger things. There is faith life and also fake life. My own journey was always keying into that faith.
"However, it got to a point that everything went to zero level, and when I had the second chance with Limpopo, my ideology changed. What came in then was maturity, and I made a lot of investments. I was able to buy things that even when I leave the earth, my children would inherit them."

It may well have been actor Patrick Shai's greatest role: the Brothers for Life public service announcement against gender-based violence (GBV).
The advertisement, the mass-media component of Brothers for Life's 2010 campaign against GBV, was memorable to members of the public because it featured a real person admitting to having beaten his wife for many years - and because he cried.
The Brothers for Life campaign aims to stimulate a men's movement that promotes more responsible health and lifestyle behaviours, and get men positively influence each other. Brothers for Life is a joint initiative by the South African National AIDS Council, the Department of Health, USAID/PEPFAR, Johns Hopkins Health and Education in South Africa, Sonke Gender Justice, UN System in South Africa, Danish Development Assistance and more than 100 civil society partners.
A study of its 2010 GBV campaign was presented to the 5th Entertainment Education Conference, held in India between 17 and 20 November 2011. The conference brought together communication experts from across the world to examine the use of entertainment education in support of health-related programmes.
The conference was given a snapshot of the South African GBV context, including that one-quarter of women will suffer violence at some point in their lives, a woman is killed by her intimate partner every six hours - the highest such rate in the world, that 28% of men admit to having raped a woman, and that nearly one in six men have assaulted a woman in the past year. South Africa, too, is a very violent society, where one in 10 people have been the victim of violent crime in the past year, and levels of child sexual abuse are very high.
"The Brothers for Life GBV campaign strategy aimed both to speak to the victims of abuse, and appeal also to the heart of the abusive partner - and show that it is possible for them to change, and that remaining abusive is not what they want," says Mandla Ndlovu, project manager for Brothers for Life.
To this end, the GBV campaign had several components, including:
*The mass-media campaign featuring the Patrick Shai advertisement, the use of true stories of reformed abusers on radio and television, and publicising the national GBV helpline number through radio and television
*Advocacy for interventions that help and rehabilitate people in abusive circumstances
*Partnerships to highlight available services including police and the Thuthuzela Care Centres
*Community participation, through community dialogues, a 26-part community radio talk show on GBV-related issues, the training of 100 community-based organisations and integrating Brothers for Life community workshops into their action plans
*Workplace and employee assistance programmes
Community dialogues raised several drivers of GBV, which in turn has informed further efforts to combat this problem. Among them were that it is a learnt behaviour; that economic aspects such as the financial dependence of women on men is a factor; that violence is a sign of poor self-esteem; the gender inequality fuels the problem; that cultural and religious factors perpetuate gender inequalities; that there is a lack of services in communities to combat GBV; and that alcohol abuse drives violence in homes and communities.
But it was the public service announcement featuring Shai that left the biggest impression on the public during the Brothers for Life GBV campaign, according to community dialogues conducted by the Centre for AIDS Development, Research and Evaluation (CADRE), the results of which were presented to the Entertainment Education Conference.
There were specific reasons for this: firstly, people paused to think about Shai's story and circumstances, and then relate it to their own lives and experiences - be they abusers themselves, or because they witnessed GBV in their own homes while growing up.
Viewers also saw Shai's message as positive, and encouraging change and redemption in abusive men. One community dialogue participant in Limpopo, who had been raised in an abusive home, remarked that "when I see these ads, it encourages me a lot, that men can transform, men can change and men are taking responsibility now".
But it was Shai's expression of emotion - the tears he sheds while explaining his abusive past - that particularly resonated with communities. It gripped people who did not expect such a public display of remorse, and they took his message to be genuine and heartfelt. Said one participant in a community dialogue in Cape Town: "I think for me when I saw it, I mean I know his stuff and whatever, but he was just way too sincere. You can't act something like that out."
Says Ndlovu: "Through our integrated approach to our GBV campaign in 2010, we were able to directly glean positive feedback such as this. It was clear that communities were both shocked at what they saw, but also heartened that things can change for the better.
"And by promoting the uptake of services such as the Stop Gender Violence Helpline and the Thuthuzela Care Centres in this context, we have given many people avenues to explore that they may not have realised are available to them."
For Shai, who also was raised in an abusive home, telling his story in such a public way was difficult - but it formed part of his own personal healing.
"What viewers saw in the public service announcement was not acting; that was me, playing the toughest role I've ever taken on. But if telling the world my own story encourages even one abusive man to relax his fists, and seek help before it is too late, then it was well worth doing, and I have done my duty as a Brother for Life," he says.

Moyers & Co., July 11, 2013
One of the primary arguments against allowing big box stores — such as Walmart, Lowe's, Target and Best Buy — to set up shop in small towns is that they take customers away from local family businesses that have existed in the community for years. Using high-volume sales — versus price mark-ups — to drive profits, big box stores are often able to sell their goods at lower prices. But they also employ fewer workers than their Main Street competition and pay those workers substantially less. The net effect is often slower community economic growth and dying downtowns.
But when big box stores are given permission to build, these long-term financial effects often aren't considered. Almost all local planning policies limit discussion about big box stores to zoning issues, "like how much traffic the store will generate and whether the site has sufficient landscaping," Stacy Mitchell, a senior researcher with the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, writes in Grist. Discussion of the store's impact on the economy is rarely on the table.
But Cape Cod, a peninsula in Massachusetts made up of 15 economically diverse towns — some very wealthy, some less so — found a way to have that conversation. In 1988, 76 percent of voters endorsed a ballot initiative that lead to the creation of the Cape Cod Commission, a board made up of representatives from the 15 towns, as well as members representing minority communities in the county. The commission reviews the environmental and economic impact of proposed building projects in the region. It doesn't replace the city planning boards other towns have, but adds a second layer of review for projects that will have a major impact on the community — including buildings that exceed 10,000 square feet, as nearly all big box stores do. Over the last few years, the commission has vetoed a Wal-Mart, a Sam's Club, a Costco and a Home Depot that it felt would negatively alter the surrounding communities. The commission has approved other big box stores in the area when the stores agreed to abandon their original plans and open smaller locations in vacant, already-built retail locations.
A number of cities have a similar system, but Mitchell notes that Cape Cod's model may work better. "One of the advantages of Cape Cod's approach is that it's regional," she writes, "so developers can't just threaten to move next door if one municipality says no." Vermont is the only place that mandates this system on the state level — large projects must be reviewed for economic, social and environmental impact by both local governments and by one of nine regional commissions.

Brand new Daredevil series 3 set pictures released!
The cast of Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil are currently busy filming the third series over in New York and the first couple of set pictures have finally surfaced on social media!
The first two are courtesy of Instagram user tomoaeo – check them out below!
So we can see the chair for Vincent D'Onofrio's character as well as what could be Charlie Cox's Daredevil, but the more interesting picture is the return of Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page standing in front of a crowd that feature in the third set picture below – people opposing Fisk outside a non descript building. Could this be the trial of Wilson Fisk?
The third image, courtesy of Twitter user Gore Gab gives us a closer look at the protesters and their signs, with the phrase 'Cop Killer' featuring in more than one sign! Check it out below:
Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk was announced to make a major return in the third series, but I'm wondering just how he's going to get himself out of prison, as we last saw him meeting The Punisher in jail in Daredevil series 2. We know he has a lot of money, power and influence, but I'm definitely intrigued to see how this plays out! In the current comic run Fisk is the mayor of Hells Kitchen, but following the closing scenes of The Defenders, they could be basing this series on the Born Again run.
There's still no set realese date for Daredevil series 3, but it'll follow Jessica Jones series 2 and Luke Cage series 2 later in the year.

Grab and Go food cases
Categories: commercial refrigeration, grab and go cases
Grab and go cases are key to merchandise sales. People no longer just come to gas stations to fill up with gas. In-store food sales were roughly 16.9% of $195 billion in 2011. That number has increase every year. We are no longer seeing gas stations being a place for gas. People are viewing them as food stores that happen to sell gas too. From pizza, hot dogs, and breakfast sandwiches to banana bread, yogurt/granola, and artisan cheeses, c-stores are stepping up the game when it comes to the food they offer their customers. According to the NACS report from the 2012 Summit, food service accounted for 15.8% of c-store sales in 2012. Prepared food brought in $16,308 per store/per month in 2012. One study showed that out of 100 c-store shoppers, 61 are buying a beverage, of that 61, 16 are also buying a snack, of that 16, only eight are buying prepared food/commissary. This equals 24,696 food service occasions missed per store. Their are major missed opportunities for c-store owners who do no offer grab and go food. There is also major missed sales for stores that only offer breakfast items. Consumers want something other than snack foods at their local c-stores.
Equipment manufacturers, like Hill Phoenix, have a great line of specialty and self service cases. Cases like the HSO General are mobile and can be moved around the store wherever you need.
Right now, you may only be offering donuts and coffee, but by adding one small prepared foods case to your store, you can increase your in-store food sales dramatically. Most grab and go cases are small and can roll into place. If you are looking to get into more in-store food service, now is the time. It will only help your store and make you more money.
