Asahikawa (Ah-sah-hee-kah-wah) City is beautiful city located in the mountains of central Hokkaido Prefecture. It is the second largest city, population 352,105, in the prefecture. Winters in Asahikawa are long and very cold, with average monthly temperatures from December through March failing to reach the freezing point. The city averages an extraordinary 300 inches of snowfall per year and holds the record for the coldest temperature ever recorded in Japan, -41 degrees Celsius!
The Asahikawa Winter Festival, Hokkaido’s second largest winter festival, takes place in early February. While Asahikawa may not be able to boast having Hokkaido's biggest winter festival, it has some of the biggest snow sculptures. Every year one massive sculpture is made as a stage for music and other performances. The giant sculpture of a Korean fortress in 1994 made the book of Guinness World Records as the largest snow structure ever built. The Japan Self Defense forces assist in building the large structures.
Over 740 bridges span the approximately 130 rivers and streams that crisscross the city. Asahibashi, a bridge over the Ishikari River, is now registered as a heritage site and has been one of the symbols of Asahikawa since its completion in 1932.
In winter the mountains surrounding the city are covered with ski slopes just waiting for skiers to come and enjoy the beautiful snow. Craft shops dot the streets and wait for brave customers who will brave the snow. In summer the temperature is just right for residents and visitors to stroll through city visit the shops and enjoy the sites, smells and sounds.
Even though there are many days where the temperature in Asahikawa does not go above the freezing point, pray for the Holy Spirit to warm the hearts of the people revealing God’s love, mercry and justice, drawing them to Himself.
Pray that they will have opportunities to hear the Gospel and accept the truth of Jesus dying on the cross and becoming the bridge of reconcilliation between God and man.
People enjoy the snow in winter or a stroll through the city in summer; pray they will come to know joy that comes through a personal relationship with Christ that doesn’t depend on outward circumstances.

Complainant is Laboratoire Nutergia, of Capdenac Gare, France, represented by Me Pattrick Therond-Lapeyre, France.
Respondent is Jeongyong Cho, of Gwangju, Republic of Korea.
The disputed domain name <nutergia.com> (“Domain Name”) is currently registered with Korea Information Certificate Authority, Inc. d/b/a DomainCa.com (the “Registrar”), which has a business address in Seoul, Korea.
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the “Center”) on October 25, 2007.
On November 1, 2007, the Center notified Complainant that the Complaint was administratively deficient, because it was filed in English rather than Korean (the language of the registration agreement). The Center requested Complainant to remedy this defect or to submit a request to proceed in English language that explained why Complainant believed this was appropriate. The Center also requested Complainant to correct certain other defects.
On November 12, 2007, Complainant filed a request with the Center to hold the proceedings in English, and corrected the other defects identified by the Center.
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified Respondent of the Complaint and the proceedings officially commenced on November 14, 2007. The Center’s formal notification was written in both English and Korean and was sent electronically to Respondent’s e-mail addresses, by international courier, and by facsimile. The Center advised that Respondent was required to submit a Response by December 4, 2007, and that if no Response was submitted, Respondent would be considered in default and an Administrative Panel would be appointed to decide the case. The Center also advised Respondent to notify the Center by November 21, 2007, if he wished to respond but was having language difficulties with the Complaint.
Respondent did not submit a Response to the Complaint by the deadline of December 4, 2007, as required by the Rules, paragraph 5(a). Accordingly, on December 7, 2007, the Center notified the parties that Respondent had defaulted in responding to the Complaint and that a single-member Administrative Panel would be constituted, as requested by Complainant.
The Center appointed Grant L. Kim as the sole panelist in this matter and notified the parties of the same on December 21, 2007. The undersigned Panelist has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
Complainant Laboratoire Nutergia is the registered owner of a French trademark for LABORATOIRE NUTERGIA. The trademark application was granted registration on June 23, 2003. Complainant is also the registered owner of the international trademark for NUTERGIA, which was registered on July 24, 1996 and renewed on July 24, 2006. Complainant’s international trademark is designated to apply in Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Italy. The NUTERGIA mark is registered in International Class 005, which includes “dietetic substances adapted for medical use”.
Respondent registered the Domain Name with the Registrar on May 9, 2006. The Registrar confirmed the identity of the registrant in an e-mail to the Center. As part of Respondent’s registration agreement with the Registrar, Respondent agreed to submit any disputes to a proceeding under the Policy.
Complainant has submitted printouts of prior versions of <nutergia.com>, annexed to the Complaint. These printouts indicate that when the original Complaint was filed, Respondent was using the Domain Name to operate a website with sponsored links to commercial websites. The subject matter of the linked commercial websites included shopping, computers, and gay and lesbian films.
When the Panel input the website address, “www.nutergia.com” in January 2008, the website displayed an English language page that states, “For Sale Domain!” and “Interested in purchasing this Domain Name?” The website invites prospective buyers to contact an email address corresponding to that of Respondent to arrange a Paypal transaction. Opening the “Properties” of this website indicates that it links to and displays content from “http://my.dreamwiz.com/gregorycho/parking/index.html”.
Complainant states that it is a French pharmaceutical company, with branches in Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic. Complainant’s current website, located at domain name <nutergia.fr>, states that it has specialized in making and marketing natural products to restore cell balance and regain health since 1989.
Complainant states that it was the registrant of the Domain Name as of 2003, but that the registration lapsed when its service provider failed to renew the registration of the Domain Name. In March 2004, Complainant discovered that the Domain Name had been registered by another and attempted to secure transfer of the Domain Name directly from its then-registrar, but was unable to do so.
Complainant requests a decision requiring the Registrar to transfer the Domain Name <nutergia.com> to Complainant pursuant to Paragraph 4(i) of the Policy. Complainant asserts that Respondent’s use of the Domain Name satisfies the standard established in Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy because the Domain Name is confusingly similar to Complainant’s NUTERGIA trademark; (2) Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the Domain Name; and (3) the Domain Name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
Complainant contends that its rights in the NUTERGIA mark are demonstrated by its ownership of a French trademark registration for “LABORATOIRE NUTERGIA” (No. 033233201, filed June 23, 2003) and an international trademark registration for “NUTERGIA” (No. 658974, filed June 24, 1996). Complainant asserts that Respondent’s Domain Name is identical to Complainant’s international trademark and confusingly similar to Complainant’s French trademark.
Complainant asserts that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the Domain Name. Complainant notes that Respondent has never offered products for sale using the name or trademark NUTERGIA.
Complainant further contends that Respondent has registered and used the Domain Name in bad faith. Complainant states that Respondent has never responded to the formal request for transfer of the Domain Name made by Complainant. Rather, Respondent reacted by trying to sell the contested domain name through an auction on SEDO, a German website.
The Panel finds that it was properly constituted pursuant to the Rules and that it has jurisdiction to decide this dispute. The Panel notes that the record, including a confirmation communication from the Registrar, shows that Respondent agreed to the Policy as part of its Domain Name registration, and was notified of both the Complaint at the addresses included in Respondent’s registration. The Panel further notes that notwithstanding Respondent’s failure to respond to the Complaint, the Panel has reviewed the record to determine whether or not Complainant is entitled to the relief requested under the Policy, the Rules, and the Supplemental Rules.
According to Paragraph 11 of the Rules, the language of the administrative proceeding shall be the language of the Registration Agreement unless the Panel decides otherwise. Since the Registrar has confirmed that the registration agreement is in Korean, that is the language of this proceeding unless the Panel decides otherwise. Upon receiving notice of the same from the Center, Complainant submitted a request for English to be the language of the proceeding, citing a number of specific reasons.
When the Center notified Respondent of these proceedings, it provided Respondent with the Notification of Complaint and Commencement of Administrative Proceedings in both English and Korean. The Center stated that Complainant had requested the proceedings be conducted in English, and that if Respondent was intending to file a Response but was experiencing language difficulties with the Complaint, Respondent should indicate this to the Center by no later than November 21, 2007. The Center further stated that if Respondent failed to respond by that date, the Center would proceed on the basis that Respondent had no objection to Complainant’s request that English be the language of this proceeding. The Center also stated that pursuant to paragraph 11(a) of the Policy, the Panel would make the final decision regarding the language of the proceedings.
Respondent has neither responded to nor acknowledged these proceedings in any way. Accordingly, the Panel finds that Respondent has waived any objection to this proceeding being conducted in English, by failing to respond to the Center’s notice, in both English and Korean, that Respondent would be deemed to have no objection to proceeding in English if he did not respond. The Panel concludes that it is reasonable to conduct this proceeding and to render the decision in English. See, e.g. Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc. d/b/a TaylorMade adidas Golf v. Kang Doeck-Ho, WIPO Case No. D2005-1262.
To satisfy this element, the Panel must find that (1) Complainant has demonstrated its rights in the NUTERGIA mark; and (2) the disputed Domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to Complainant’s mark.
With respect to the first element, a domestic trademark registration is sufficient to show Complainant’s rights to the mark. See, e.g., Uniroyal Engineered Products, Inc. v. Nauga Network Services, WIPO Case No. D2000-0503 (registered U.S. trademark is adequate to demonstrate Complainant’s rights); Thaigem Global Marketing Limited v. Sanchai Aree, WIPO Case No. D2002-0358, para. 6.3 (“The propriety of a domain name registration may be questioned by comparing it to a trademark registered in any country.”) Based on Complainant’s evidence of ownership of an international trademark to NUTERGIA and the French trademark to “LABORATOIRE NUTERGIA”, the Panel finds the first element established.
It is well-established that the specific top-level identifier of a domain name, such as “.com”, “.org” or “.net.” does not affect the domain name for the purpose of determining whether it is identical or confusingly similar. See, e.g. Zedge Ltd. v. Moniker Privacy Services/Aaron Wilson, WIPO Case No. D2006-1585. Here, the <nutergia.com> Domain Name is identical to Complainant’s international NUTERGIA trademark, with the insignificant addition of the top level identifier, “.com”. The Domain Name is also confusingly similar to Complainant’s French trademark, “Laboratoire NUTERGIA”.
Accordingly, the Panel finds the Domain Name identical and confusingly similar to Complainant’s marks.
It is the consensus view of UDRP panelists that, to establish the second element, Complainant must make a prima facie showing that Respondent has no rights to or legitimate interests in the Domain Name. Once Complainant has made a prima facie case, the burden shifts to Respondent to present evidence of its rights or legitimate interests. See, e.g., Gerd Petrik v. Johnny Carpela, WIPO Case No. D2004-1043, para. 6.9; Belupo d.d. v. WACHEM d.o.o., WIPO Case No. D2004-0110, para. 6(B).
Complainant has stated that Respondent, a private resident of the Republic of Korea, has no prior rights to justify the registration and use of the Domain Name. Moreover, Complainant contends that Respondent has not attempted to market goods or services under the “Nutergia” name; instead, when Respondent previously placed content on the “www.nutergia.com” site, it placed sponsored links to unrelated movies and other services.
To establish the third element, Complainant must demonstrate pursuant to Paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy that Respondent has registered and used the Domain Name in bad faith. Paragraph 4(b) of the Policy sets forth a non-exclusive list of circumstances that may show bad faith, including registrations made (i) primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or transferring the domain name to a complainant (who owns the relevant trademark or service mark) or a complainant’s competitor; (ii) to prevent the trademark or service mark owner from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, where Respondent has engaged in a pattern of such conduct; (iii) primarily for disrupting a competitor’s business; or (iv) to attract Internet users intentionally and for commercial gain, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant’s mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of the website or location, or an offered product or service.
Registration of an arbitrary trademark with an exclusive connection to a commercial product and limited potential utility as a common conveyor of information supports an inference of bad faith. See, e.g. Pharmacia & Upjohn Company. v. Xanax Advocates, WIPO Case No. D2000-0817. The record contains no evidence that “Nutergia” has any pre-existing meaning in English, French, or Korean, and the Panel is not aware of any such pre-existing meaning. On the contrary, this appears to be an arbitrary term created by Complainant to describe its company, which is vaguely related to an English word “nutrition”. Additionally, the mark appears to be associated with Complainant’s company and products. Respondent’s registration of the Domain Name that appears to be an arbitrary term associated exclusively with the Complainant supports the inference that Respondent had no legitimate purpose for this registration, and instead registered the Domain Name for the purpose of selling it to Complainant. This inference is supported by the fact that Respondent’s website currently indicates that the Domain Name is for sale.
Respondent’s previous use of the website to offer sponsored links to sites selling computers, gay and lesbian films, and offering other forms of shopping further supports an inference of bad faith. Specifically, it is evidence of intent to profit from the goodwill of another’s trademark, by attempting to generate click-through revenues from consumers looking for Complainant’s website who have been diverted to Respondent’s website. See, e.g. Zedge Ltd. v. Moniker Privacy Services/Aaron Wilson, WIPO Case No. D2006-1585.
The Panel finds that the third element is established.
For all the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraph 4(i) of the Policy and paragraph 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the Domain Name <nutergia.com> be transferred to Complainant.

Those of us who stayed up until 2AM BST to watch the E3 2018 PlayStation conference will know about the buzz gamers received when some of the game reveals were portrayed in front of us, and in comparison to the Xbox and Ubisoft conferences they’ve done pretty good. For the others who couldn’t stay up – read on.
Along with a cast of high-profile actors, the E3 2018 PlayStation presentation gave us a much deeper look at Death Stranding with a new gameplay trailer.
This was one of those that we all wanted to see more of, The Last of Us Part 2 boasted a gameplay trailer which lasted over 10 minutes, it gave us a good look as to what we could look forward to.
Spider-Man was given a brand spanking new trailer which shows us some more in-depth gameplay during the E3 2018 PlayStation briefing.
The Dark Souls and Bloodborne developer FromSoftware unveiled Deracine, a PS4 exclusive in an eye-pleasing announce trailer.
At the E3 2018 PlayStation presentation, the developers of Alan Wake and Quantum Break revealed Control – and as we know from Quantum Break the devs have a clear focus on making their games look graphically pleasing with a unique storyline.
A shiny new gameplay trailer showing the combat mechanics of Ghost of Tsushima dropped at the E3 2018 PlayStation presentation, although no word on a release just yet.
If you’ve polished off the main story as well as the God Of War side missions, good news! You’re in for something new. E3 2018 PlayStation confirms a new game plus mode.
The Kingdom Hearts franchise as we knew it was an exclusive to PlayStation, with the title becoming cross-platform the E3 2018 PlayStation presentation pulled a special edition version of Kingdom Hearts 3 out of the hat to keep that edge over the competition.
Nioh 2 will be making its way to PS4, and to tease fans the PlayStation E3 press conference let out n exciting new trailer.
The Resident Evil 2 horror title we knew and loved (and still do) is making its way onto PS4 with a remaster of the original game. The trailer looks pretty impressive graphically and fans were excited to return to Raccoon City at the start of 2019.
This was honestly among my favourite conferences, one thing PlayStation have always and continue to do well is with their game exclusives. They’ve provided a host of games that are coming only to PS4, and personally PS4 gamers should be pretty excited for what’s to come.

Zayd Lives, F.O.T.O. Single #1, Is Out!
First single off Felicity Of The Oppressed is out now! Zayd Lives! Ansarullah’s slogan, “ALLAHU Akbar! Death To America! Death To ‘Israel’! Death To Saud! Curse Be On The Jews! Victory To Islam!”, is transformed into a lyrical lightning bolt and launched at all the enemies of Yemen and the world’s oppressed people. Produced by my younger brother Dark Night, this joint truly represents the universality of the Yemeni’s people struggle and the need for all of humanity to stand up in solidarity with them against the monstrous Saudi “royal” family.

text: I had no idea what to expect from this animated feature, and to be honest , I thought the trailer was lame. So it’s with a great sense of relief and delight that I offer an enthusiastic review of “The Croods”. It has a neat premise and often breathtaking execution. What’s more, if you want to see a truly effective and creative use of 3D, run to the nearest theatre and watch it on the big screen. The folks at Dreamworks know what they’re doing when it comes to 3D and they have crafted yet another enjoyable feature for the whole family. The movie follows The Croods family (obviously) during pre-historic times. The teenage daughter Eep, doesn’t get along with her overprotective father, Grug. The man is intent on keeping Eep and the rest of his family safe in their cave. His excuse: “Curiosity and exploration are bad”. But Eep sneaks out one night and encounters a young stranger, Guy who tells her that the world is coming to an end. With excellent voice work by Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds and Katherine Keener, “The Croods” offers sunny entertainment with a light but palatable “message” about the importance of family. More important, the film stays true to its goal of upbeat entertainment. At the screening I attended, and for 90 minutes, kids and adults were laughing and cheering. That’s always a sign of an instant hit.

The neglect of our military infrastructure impacts not only our security but also the needs of our service families and the communities that support them.
Our defense infrastructure not only supports our military missions and readiness. It also supports our 1.1 million service members, their families and the communities they call home. But a five-year period of unprecedented turmoil for our defense budget has seriously damaged the military and our defense installations.
No one understands this more than the members of the Association of Defense Communities -- more than 250 communities and 35 states that host and support our nation's 400 defense facilities. A new administration and Congress provide an opportunity for swift action to end sequestration and begin the critical work of rebuilding our military and defense infrastructure. We must remove all obstacles, including arcane, bureaucratic budget-scoring rules, and focus on getting the job done. With an on-the-ground perspective, America's defense communities stand ready to support this undertaking.
To begin with, we need to reinvest in the basic components of our military installations -- roads, airfields, buildings and utilities. We need to enhance the resiliency of our installations and protect the land and air space of our training ranges and facilities for current and future missions. And we need to ensure that we are providing great places for our service members and their families to live, work and learn.
A ready list of defense infrastructure projects exists. For example, our system of early-warning radar sites in the northern continental tier is on the verge of collapse, directly impacting our security. With quick action, investments in these kinds of critically needed infrastructure improvements could become a reality in a matter of months, creating tens of thousands of jobs.
Just as we invest in our defense infrastructure, we must take care of the people who protect us -- our service members and their families. Our defense communities work tirelessly to ensure that military families have great places to live, learn and prosper. They have invested hundreds of millions of local and state dollars to ensure that our bases are sustained. As a nation, we must support them in return, leveraging these investments to develop transportation connections outside the fence, high-quality schools, health-care options and access to other services our service families need and deserve.
This reinvestment must be driven not only by strategy but by innovation that ensures that we are doing things smarter and more efficiently. Partnerships between the private and public sectorsare critical to achieving this goal, and these partners stand ready to make it happen. When the Air Force needed to increase mission capability and reduce costs, for example, the state of Oklahoma and the city of Enid came together to expand the municipal airport facilities and runway to serve Vance Air Force Base.
We also must not forget our nation's former defense infrastructure, the hundreds of military facilities in every part of the country that have been through the Base Realignment and Closing process and offer the potential for job creation. Many sit fallow as they wait for the federal government to transfer land or address environmental issues. More than 9,700 former defense sites present an opportunity to enhance local job growth if the private sector can collaborate with the federal government to focus existing resources. We should leverage the full power of the federal government to turn these unique sites into robust engines of economic growth.
The communities, states and industry partners that support our military bases -- whether active or not -- understand the value of our defense infrastructure both inside and outside the gate. Strong communities are an essential ingredient to the strong military that keeps us all safe.

On Wednesday 7 November customers at Caesar Court, one of Orbit’s flagship independent living with care housing schemes in Deal, Kent, officially unveiled an art project to commemorate the Centenary of World War I.
The project originated from the craft group at the scheme. They felt passionate about marking the centenary and wanted to plan something visual that would serve as a special memorial for the fallen. They crafted two handmade wreaths and a stunning embroidery that said ‘Lest We Forget’. They also made over 300 poppies out of felt that they hung from netting in the foyer to frame the whole project for a dramatic effect.
Caesar Court comprises 81 one and two bedroom apartments, which were made available through a mix of affordable rent and shared ownership. The scheme is owned and managed by Orbit and has become a real hub for the local community, with a number of its facilities being open to the public, including: a hairdressers, café and restaurant.

This experience will strengthen the relationship between Hope For The Warriors® and the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, collectively impacting the services we provide military families and caregivers nationwide.
Hope For The Warriors® is pleased to announce that a staff member was awarded the Elizabeth Dole Fellowship for 2015 and 2016. Patti Katter, Veteran & Military Caregiver Program Coordinator with Hope For The Warriors®, was chosen as one of over 50 recipients of the Fellowship, which allows caregivers the opportunity to advise programs and play a leading role in raising awareness for the needs of caregivers throughout the nation. Hope For The Warriors® is a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a sense of self, restoring the family unit, and restoring hope for our service members and our military families.
Katter has served as her husband’s caregiver for the past eight years. She will fulfill a two-year commitment as a resource and advocate for fellow military caregivers nationwide. Each class’s fellows give voice to military caregivers by advocating on their behalf for providers to fill the gap in services available to them. Each caregiver in the fellowship aims to educate the public and create awareness based on their own situation. Being a military caregiver is a full-time job, so each fellow uniquely opens the door to fulfill that population through purposeful services.
According to the Rand Corporation, 5.5 million men and women serve as caregivers nationally, and 1.1 million of those caregivers are from the post-9/11 era. The goal of the Elizabeth Dole Fellowship is to have at least one caregiver representing each state, so this year’s selection committee looked at states with heavy military populations, granting a few more to those states. Katter will serve as one of five fellows representing the state of Florida.
"I feel that my roles, as an Elizabeth Dole Foundation Fellow and the Military & Veteran Caregiver Program Coordinator with Hope For The Warriors®, enhance one another and allow me to provide an advanced level of support and advocacy for the military caregiver community," said Katter.
Senator Elizabeth Dole founded the Fellowship in 2012, and it has since grown in both size and ambition. The mission of the Elizabeth Dole Fellow program is to engage active military and veteran caregivers directly in the Elizabeth Dole Foundation’s initiatives, allowing them an opportunity to advise the Foundation’s programs and play a leading role in raising awareness for the needs of caregivers throughout the nation.

Cream puffs are one of the treats Mom used to buy us when my sister and I were kids. Despite not being a frequent treat we received, I remember loving cream puffs so much because of the custard filling. I didn’t like the filling too sweet though. I wanted them just right.
When I eventually started working and had my salary, I used to buy cream puffs from a Beard Papa’s stall in Glorietta until one day, I noticed that the stall was no longer there. A few years later, just recently, I discovered that Beard Papa’s is reopening in Glorietta. This time, it’s not just a stall; it’s going to be a shop!
While waiting for Beard Papa’s to open though, I decided to attempt making cream puffs in my own kitchen. I looked for recipe after recipe until I discovered the recipe from Kitchen Conundrums with Thomas Joseph segment in Everyday Food’s YouTube channel. I also searched for the video on how to make the filling that they dubbed as the No-Fuss Pastry Cream. It was the perfect recipe for me because I did not have to think about tempering the eggs to make sure they do not scramble and all the “fuss” that comes with making pastry cream.
What I did find difficult though is piping the batter and the pastry cream. I watched a lot of YouTube videos where the baker pipes stuff out of a pastry bag without looking like he or she is struggling or exerting any effort at all! My hands and wrist hurt a lot after.
I was surprised at how much they puff up. They looked so tiny when I piped them out. I left them to bake while I piped another batch and ten minutes later, they were already big! I remember turning around to check my oven only for my eyes to almost pop out of my head when I saw how much they have risen.
I was very sure then that they were going to have this huge air pocket inside for the cream to fill. They were so light once out of the oven!
I may have gone overboard with some because I filled them too much that some pastry cream oozed out the other side. Nevertheless, I was so happy I finally got to make these! It was just one of the treats I would think about but not dare try. Not anymore! I was hooked!
Please do check out the links of the recipes I linked above. They really are beginner-friendly and taste amazing!
I still cannot wait for Beard Papa’s to open soon.
Last August 21, my country celebrated two holidays: Ninoy Aquino Day and Eid al-Adha. We were actually hoping for Eid al-Adha to be celebrated on the 22nd like the rest of the world, I think but even just one day of rest from work is already very much welcome.
I took the opportunity to go through the ingredients I had at home and realized that my whole wheat flour isn’t gonna last for long. I needed to bake it into something despite my and my mom’s lack of fondness for whole wheat bread. Initially wanting raisin whole wheat bread, I realized we only had dried cranberries at home. So whole wheat cranberry bread it is.
I had a fun time kneading the dough using my handheld mixer with dough hook attachment. Eventually, I started using my hands to incorporate the cranberries into the dough. It looked so cute while it was proofing!
While waiting for the dough to proof, I decided to bake the frozen blueberries and strawberries that I bought on a whim. I discovered the Sunny Morning Muffins recipe the day before and just knew I had to bake a version of it! From the name alone, I was expecting the muffins to be as bright as the sunshine in deliciousness!
The muffins were fairly simple to make. You just combine all the ingredients and that’s it! No special method of folding or mixing. What took me long was filling my muffin tray (one that makes 24 mini muffins) and ensuring that each well will have enough berries and nuts.
For step-by-step procedures, you may click on the link to the original recipes.
After hours of baking, I had a large loaf of bread and about 5 dozens of mini muffins. What should have been the last dozen on mini muffins, I made into four larger ones.
The whole wheat bread turned out to be really soft. It tasted pretty much just like plain bread; nothing extra special. The cranberries just added some tartness and sweetness to it. As much as I enjoyed making it though, I really cannot find it in me to love the texture of whole wheat bread when eating it.
But, the muffins! They were really, really good! They were soft but not mushy. The combination of strawberries, blueberries and cashews in one bite was awesome! The berries were not too sweet and were a just a tiny bit tart, giving balance to the sweetness from the sugar and the banana. Also, it was a good thing I used half the amount of the salt required due to the cashews already being salted.
If anyone knows how to make whole wheat bread without the gritty texture in the mouth, please let me know! I’d be so happy to learn.
They say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. I’m not quite sure about that and currently, there’s no man whose heart I wish to worm my way through. All I know is that when I saw my cousin post about these cookies that she baked, I just knew I had to try making it too!
Well, that was three years ago, back in April 2015. She found the recipe from The Café Sucre Farine blog. However, instead of pecans, she wanted her fiancé to try them with hazelnuts. I am not sure why but maybe because he was more partial to hazelnuts than pecans? Judging by her post too, it seems as if he got to try it already before. Whatever! All I know is that they did get married. And, whether this cookie was one of the reasons he married her, I shall never know because my cousin is a pretty awesome woman anyway.
Okay, so back to the cookies. A little more research and I found out that this recipe was from Melissa Stadler. She entered the recipe in a contest by The Cooking Channel and eventually, she found herself filming for a segment for a show called, The Perfect 3, where she won the cookie category! Anyway, you can find her recipe and her story in her blog, Modern Honey. The original recipe though, unlike the one my cousin found, did not contain any nuts and called for less white chocolate chips.
Well, speaking of nuts, I didn’t have pecans or hazelnuts. I did have a small bottle of cashews though and I figured it should work. And, thanks to the gift certificates our boss gave out for a job well done a few months back, I was able to buy all other ingredients I would need without spending a dime! Ah, I love my employer! I did tweak a little bit though, depending on what was available in the supermarket where I went.
Oh! They smelled heavenly while they were in the oven!
Because I was making two batches of these, some trays of dough had more chilling time that the others. I found that those that chilled longer did not spread and brown as much as those that had less time in the fridge. Chilling does make a difference!
So, how did they taste? They were fantastic! Despite the amount of sugar and the chocolate chips in the recipe, they were not overly sweet. In fact, they were just right! Since I baked them longer than the minimum, I got cookies that were on the crispy side. Not hard like Chips Ahoy cookies but still with a crunch. Just how I liked my cookies!
I do not wonder anymore why they are called I Want to Marry You Cookies! They were perfect! They also went great with a mug of milk!
So, to give back to my team at work, I decided to bring most of the cookies I made to work for my colleagues to try. I hope they like these cookies as much as I did!
Melt the butter until golden brown in color, then add all the sugars. Combine well and allow to chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
After chilling, add the egg plus extra egg yolk and vanilla and mix well.
Add the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix just enough until there’s no trace of unmixed dry ingredients.
Add in the chocolate chips and nuts. Mix well to evenly distribute.
Using a small ice cream/cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the baking sheets lined with parchment/baking paper, making sure to leave an inch or two between each cookie.
Allow to chill for around 30 minutes.
Pre-heat the oven at 325˚F.
Take out the cookies from the fridge and bake them for up to 12 to 18 minutes or until fully baked.
Allow to cool on the pan for a few minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
One of the reasons I made this blog was to document my attempts at trying new things and learning along the way. This means I will not only write about my successes, but also my failures. The goal is to always discover and to always do better next time.
Recently, I got to make my version of a big pionono, which is similar to a jelly roll cake. Since I was very happy with how it turned out, I thought of going for a similar dessert called Brazo de Mercedes.
Translating literally to “Mercedes’ arm,” it’s more accurately translated to “Arm of our Lady of Mercy.” This is not surprising since the Philippines was once a Spanish colony. And while this dessert seems similar to Spain’s Brazo de Gitano (gypsy’s arm) and the Swiss roll cake, the Brazo de Mercedes contains no flour at all. Instead, it’s a fluffy delight that’s basically a meringue.
The recipe I used was from Foxy Folksy and she included tips on how to make a damn good Brazo de Mercedes (some of which I did not bother following, tsk).
I started with my favorite part–the meringue. I got hooked on making meringue when I did my first attempt at Japanese cheesecake. I am still amazed at how egg whites could turn into this opaque, fluffy goodness.
The recipe called for five egg whites, 1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp of sugar and 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar. It took a few minutes of beating until I got to stiff peaks. I did not bother with those lines/ridges traditionally seen in this dessert because I had no pastry comb. I baked it at a pre-heated oven at 180°C.
Mistake number 1: I placed the tray on the top rack. The meringue browned too much than it was supposed to. I guess the recommended baking temperature was fine had my oven not been an electric convection type. I shall lower the temperature next time and bake at the lower rack with an empty baking tray on the first rack for the first few minutes.
Next was the custard filling. Using the five egg yolks separated from the whites used in the meringue, I added 7oz of condensed milk. I combined them in a saucepan and went to the stove to heat the mixture until thickened.
Mistake number 2: The saucepan I got had too thin a bottom for our induction stove that has no notion of consistent temperature. In a matter of minutes, the temp shot up to 160°C and in seconds, my custard started to burn a little bit.
Fortunately, I did not burn the whole thing. So, I sifted the custard mixture to a new pot that had a thicker bottom to leave the few clumps that burned. What I did like from what happened was that it gave my custard a sort of caramel taste (think dulce de leche). I heated it until it reached a spreadable consistency. I added the vanilla after taking mixture out of the stove.
I got my meringue from the oven and waited for it to cool down. Then, I dusted the top with powdered sugar and flipped it over. I peeled the baking sheet/parchment liner that I used and spread my custard over the meringue. I love it when my Brazo de Mercedes oozes with the filling so I made sure to be generous with it. Then, I rolled the meringue like I would a jelly roll cake.
See the little spots of dark browning on top? Thankfully, it did not taste like charcoal. Like the custard, the browning of the meringue gave it a deeper, richer flavor. A few extra seconds would have probably burned the entire top, geez!
Let’s forget the browned top for a second and focus on the inside. Ooooh yeah! The filling should have been a bright yellow had I not almost burned all of it. Still looks yummy to me though.
Despite my blunders, I still liked it. It only took two days for us at home to finish the whole log! That being said, I bet that if I didn’t make my two mistakes, it would have been so much more of a hit!
I tell you, my Mom will not hold back from criticizing it if it really was bad. She is so hard to please when it comes to food and is not shy at expressing her displeasure when she is not happy. But, since she ate slices from it more than once, I am sure it truly wasn’t awful at all!
I am so excited for attempt number 2!
Another weekend, another baking day for me! This time, I shall be making pionono.
What is pionono? This is difficult to answer. You see, depending on where you are from (e.g. Spain, Philippines, South America, etc.), we may not be talking about the same thing. Pionono varies depending on where it is made. The common factor though is that it is said to have been named after the Italian name of Pope Pius IX, Pio Nono.
In the Philippines, these are small, Swiss roll-like cakes. I loved them as a kid and used to buy them at the Landmark, Makati when they still had Fortune Bakery. Today, it’s not very often that I see pionono in bakeries and I truly missed them lately. That’s why I decided to make my own.
Actually, this is already my second attempt at this because I did not document my first try. Half of the first one I made went to my aunt who came over to visit. Mom mentioned lately that she wanted to have it again because she did not get her fill the first time. So, I decided to make it for her as soon as the weekends came.
Preheat your oven to 150°C/300°F. Separate the whites and the yolks of 5 large eggs. Make sure the egg whites will have no trace of the yolks.
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks, gradually adding 30 grams of white granulated sugar. Add in 25 ml milk, 1 tsp vanilla, and 25 ml melted butter.
Sift 1/3 cup cake flour and 1/8 tsp salt and add to the egg yolk mixture. Fold in gently and stop once combined.
With a clean whisk/beater attachment to the electric mixer, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add 1/4 tsp cream of tartar and continue beating. Gradually add 70 grams of granulated white sugar and beat until stiff peaks form and the egg whites do not slide or move when you tilt the bowl. This is the meringue.
In three batches, add the meringue to the egg yolk mixture and fold in gently. Be careful not to over mix to avoid knocking all the air out from the meringue.
Line your baking tray with a parchment/baking paper and gently pour in mixture. Gently spread it around to get to the corners of the pan. Give the tray a light tap on your counter/table.
Bake at 150°C for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick test comes out clean.
While still warm, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Then, cover the top with parchment paper. Get another baking tray and flip the cake over. Gently remove the parchment paper that was used for baking.
You may either divide into four or six portions to make small, individual rolls or just make one big roll. Gently roll the cake into a log using the new parchment paper to guide it. Let it cool while rolled into a log.
While waiting for it to cool, combine 1/4 cup of softened butter and 2 tbsps of powdered sugar. If using unsalted butter, you may add a pinch of salt just to liven the taste of the filling. You may just use butter or margarine too. That should work fine.
Once the cake has cooled, unroll it and spread the filling. Make sure to leave one inch on each side without filling. Then, gently roll back the cake into a log.
If desired, you may brush the top of the cake with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
When it came out of the oven, it smelled strongly of eggs. It’s not a wonder given that five eggs were used in making this treat. I was too lazy to make 6 individual pieces out of the whole pan I baked so I decided to make it into one big Swiss-roll like piece.
I might have been a little impatient because I realized that it has not cooled enough to keep the butter filling from melting. Tsk. Also, I have to work on making a tighter roll.
The good news is, it still tasted great! It tasted exactly like the pionono I loved as a kid. Even Mom liked it too. She was even teasing me that when I was younger, she baked and I taste tested. Now, it’s the other way around.
It’s true. I learned how to bake from my Mom. We just used a stove-top oven because we could not afford an electric oven yet. Today, we still dream about a large oven and a stand mixer. Hence, I must work very hard to be able to afford these.
Anyway, there you go, guys. My go-to recipe for pionono. What’s the pionono like in your country? How do you make it?
The first time I heard (read, rather) about Icelavie was a little over than a year ago. My friends from my former workplace promised ourselves we were going to treat ourselves to the giant cup of icy-cool goodness. Our schedules and frequent need to travel out of town made us forget about that plan.
Thanks to Facebook’s “On This Day” feature, we got reminded by that plan. Mark tagged us all in the post that started it all. I told them to push for it the following day. Unfortunately, when you raise ideas like that, you get teased to treat everyone else. Since I missed them so much and since we got informed that there’s a buy 1 get 1 promo in Booky Prime, I figured it wouldn’t hurt my wallet so much. So finally, we were getting those drinks. I made sure to download Booky Prime, or Booky for short, to be able to claim that promo. I also told my friends to make sure at least one of them downloads the app too so that we could get four drinks and pay for just two.
What is Booky Prime, then? Its website says it’s a membership program allowing a member access to buy 1 get 1 coupons monthly. It also allows them to get unlimited bookings to partner restaurants with up to Php 500 bill discount on top. When you sign-up for a free trial, you initially get Php 1,000 worth of savings that may be in the form of coupons to be claimed. Booky Prime’s app is available on the App Store and on Google Play.
Don’t be too excited! There’s a catch. When you claim coupons on the app, you only have 10 minutes to present it to the partner establishment you’re going for. Otherwise, you will have to claim a new coupon, the saved amount value of which shall be deducted again from your initial balance. So, make sure you swipe claim when you’re at the counter already.
Going back to Icelavie, it turns out to be a Malaysian brand that’s famous for their huge drinks. They currently have four branches in the Philippines: Circuit Mall (Makati), The Paseo Center (Makati), Glorietta 4 Cinema (Makati), and U.N. Square Mall (Manila).
We went to the Paseo Center branch and opted to get 2 orders of Tropicana and 2 orders of Fruit Paradise. For myself, I got the Fruit Paradise which is a fruit juice mix with a splash of milk. Thanks to Booky, I only paid Php 198 for all four drinks!
What makes Icelavie special? Well, aside from its really huge size, it boasts of its special kind of ice that does not melt easily. It comes with a cup holder with a string attachment so you can carry it like a mini gift package instead of holding that giant cup in your hands. If you got tiny hands like I do, the cup holder will be very, very helpful.
Look at how big it is! I could not wrap my hands around most cup!
I also cannot believe it was only Php 99 for that huge cup! The drink was very refreshing and was not too sweet. True to its word, the ice cubes they use do not melt easily. It took me four hours to finish my whole cup and there were still a couple of ice left! This is coming from someone who finishes a half liter of drink in 3 minutes!
Just when I thought great things were over, I found out that I can claim another coupon from Booky to use in the same establishment! I initially thought that I could only claim it once from Pase Center and that I would need to visit other branches should I want to claim the promo again. Amazing!
So what happens once you’ve consumed all your Php 1,000 free trial savings? You’ll have to subscribe monthly for Php 199. This will give you access to more than 16,000 new Buy One Get One coupons every month, up to P500 off your bill every time you book a table, and a free dessert every time you submit a feedback form. Plus, you get to sponsor at least three school lunches to a child every month through its partners, ARK and Gawad Kalinga.
If you’re a foodie and would like to get discounts from around 1,063 partner restaurants, Php 199 per month is already a great deal! Plus, you get to help put a stop to hunger where it matters most.
By the way, I got to try the Tropicana variant too the other day. It tasted like apples and lime. So delish!

“Welcome to Switcheroo Zoo! Switch the animals’ heads, legs and tails to make new creatures at this surrealistic virtual zoo.” It does exactly what it says on the tin.
“You show some mild symptoms of depression. It does not seem to be serious, but check to see whether you meet the criteria of a depressive illness diagnosis. In any case, keep an eye on the symptoms listed. If they get any worse or persist for prolonged periods of time (weeks or months), you should consider consulting a physician. It would not hurt to talk about it when you see your doctor the next time.” Brilliant. I score 26 out of 100. 25 and below is categorically “not depressed”, but that extra point marks me out for medical concern. Why do I bother taking these tests?
The latest on Ritchie, by the way, is that he’s been more frisky of late — currently he’s undergoing a course of fish medication. Your prayers are appreciated.

Just taking a few minutes to say hello to everyone and to wish them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year too.
A Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too. Welcome to the Forums.
Merry Christmas everyone (it's just reached us here, sorry everyone on the wrong side of the Atlantic, still a few hours before Santa reaches you).
Anyone wondering what to get me for Christmas ?
Terry, that 30x optical zoom is a beast!
Yes CG, but the reason I like it in preference to an upgrade from my Olympus to the latest model (also x30) is the manual zoom and focus rings.
My Olympus has a stated battery life of several hundred shots, but that theoretical number is only relevant if you take a continuous series of shots at constant settings.
In practice, the real drain is the zoom and focus servo motors, and they run the battery down in no time.
You get the ludicrous situation where switching the camera off to conserve the battery runs it down more than taking another 50 shots because it motors the lens in, and then has to motor it out again when you switch on (and the boot-up time generally means you've missed the moment anyway).
At an air-show last year, I ran all three of my rechargable Lithium batteries flat and missed some of the late action because of it, and that's about £75 worth of batteries, so keeping enough spares to last long enough for all eventualities would be a pretty expensive option.
The Fuji uses a pack of AAs and programmable software that accepts Alkaline or NiMh and Lithium rechargables, and with the manual controls, they should last a whole day without problems.
I also prefer manual focus. My pre-digital Pentax had a Tamron 80-205 zoom which was a push-pull/twist zoom/focus, and I could take great candid tele-portraits in a heartbeat, far faster than any motorized system could manage, plus the fact that I decide what's in focus, not some software guessing for me.
Have you considered a DSLR, Terry? I mean, if you used to have an SLR Pentax, it just sorta makes sense.
I got myself a D90 (Santa wouldn't get me one ) 2 years back, completely in love with the manual focus and zoom rings, interchangeable lenses, and the rest.
I loved my Pentax(s) (the first was stolen in a burglary), but I was always aware of carrying round a gigantic bag of tricks. Whilst I had two wonderful Tamron SP zooms 24-48 and 70-210 (I just went and checked, the 80-205 must have been the one that was stolen), it was always an annoyance, especially at action events, to have to switch lenses. The Olympus I'm currrently using takes good photos and has a 38-380 zoom in a very compact and light package, but the battery performance really bugs me.
I've looked at every option and the 24-720 zoom range and the manual control, all in one ever-ready package just about fits every need now.
How many lenses would you need to carry to cover that range ?
Yeah, that's always the biggest problem. I actually don't swap lens too often, I only use the kit lens (18-108) and a fixed "nifty-fifty" 50mm prime (which is my fav lens ever, and the one I use almost always for the incredible low-light performance with the f/1.8 aperture).
What kind of shooting do you do that you need the 720mm zoom?! I've never needed to go past the 100mm mark except for nature shooting.
Mostly that. 380 doesn't quite get close enough to capture the birds on my feeders in high-def. 10Mp and 720 with image stabilization should get me some good detail compared to the current 4Mp 380 unstabilized image.
You're almost in my neighbourhood Mahmoud. Enjoy Chicago and Happy New Year.
I've actually got some family in Toronto (aunt and some cousins) whom I visit from time to time.... I'll give you a shout when I'm really in your neighborhood next!
That's great. All the best.
That is hysterically funny....that fox deserves a medal.
I'm actually wondering about the fate of the fox.... I know in the USA any attack by wild animals or even domesticated ones against humans requires that they be put down ASAP, except in special cases where it's an endangered species or something.
They wear them there. My mother used to have several fox furs.
No clue if it was real (probably not), but he/it looked so out of place and made so many people turn their heads. A mink coat at what was, more or less, a truckers stop!

Both on its own and as a tribute to Mario's legacy, Mario vs. Donkey Kong does a great job.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong isn't really a direct sequel; rather, it's an update to the 1994 release of Donkey Kong on the original Game Boy. This 1994 release was an update to the original Donkey Kong formula, which introduced two of Nintendo's best-known characters and built the original template that platform games would work with for years to come. The 1994 update gave Mario new moves and gave the game's levels an almost puzzlelike quality. The game was a really cool merge of puzzle-solving and classic 2D platforming. The 2004 release, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, updates the look of the game and makes some cool changes of its own, making it a worthwhile action puzzler for Game Boy Advance owners.
The rivalry has been going on for more than 20 years now, and it shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.
The story opens with Donkey Kong watching TV. He sees an ad for the season's hot toy, the Mini-Mario, falls in love with the little windup plumbers, and decides to go get one for himself. But when the toys are sold out, the ape flies into a rage, raids the toy factory, and steals all of the Mini-Marios. So it's up to you, as regular-sized Mario, to chase your lifelong nemesis and recover the hot toys. Each of the game's main levels ends with your securing one of the missing Minis.
The game opens with six worlds, and there are eight objectives in each. The first six are standard levels. You'll navigate a series of levels of varying size in an attempt to recover a Mini-Mario. The first screen has a key and a locked door, and it's up to you to bring the key to the locked door. The game has a Super Mario Bros. 2 sort of logic to it in this sense--you carry keys, enemies, and other objects over your head, and you can toss these items to take out other enemies. Once you're through the locked door, the second stage of each normal level has you navigating the game's obstacles in an attempt to get to the Mini-Mario. Each stage has switch blocks that can be pressed to turn on various walls, platforms, and ladders. Knowing the order in which to hit the switches as you move about is the key to most of the puzzles.
Once you're through the first six levels of a world, the game changes a bit. The seventh level in each world has you leading the Mini-Mario toys to a toy box. They're fragile and can get easily crushed by thwomps and other obstacles, so you'll have to take care to lead them properly. The eighth level of each world is a boss fight against Donkey Kong. You'll usually resort to finding ways to pick things up and throw them in his general direction.
Mario has a lot of moves, which makes the game more about knowing your arsenal well and knowing when to employ each tactic. You will get a brief tutorial before most levels, which gives you a pretty clear view of Mario's moves. Aside from being just a plain ol' jumpman, Mario can execute backflips that send him much higher. He can hang and flip from telephone wires, he can pull off walking handstands--which makes him impervious to falling objects--he can pick up and toss items, he can climb around on hanging vines that work with the same logic as the vines in Donkey Kong Jr., and so on. The number of things that Mario can do feels just right and really adds a lot to the game.
At first glance, Mario vs. Donkey Kong seems like an incredibly short game. The game's first four worlds are really, really easy--the puzzles practically solve themselves. Around the fifth world, things start to pick up a bit, and the game gets more challenging. On top of that, the game's listing of only six worlds is deceiving. Beating the six main worlds unlocks six new worlds with six levels each. You can also unlock expert levels, which are even more challenging. So the game has a good amount of stuff to it and should keep players busy for a while.
It's a really strong update of the 1994 Game Boy game known simply as Donkey Kong.
The look of Mario vs. Donkey Kong is pretty good. The characters have a prerendered look to them that has sort of a Donkey Kong Country feel. On the downside, all of the characters look rather blocky, too. The levels are colorful, and the enemies--many of them updated versions of enemies found in Super Mario Bros. 2--look nice. On the sound side of things, the game has a great soundtrack and a lot of speech. How much you'll like the game's audio sort of depends on whether or not you've gotten sick of Mario's voice yet. He's pretty chatty, and that can get grating over time, though the solid music makes up for that quite easily.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a standout game that fans of portable puzzles will have a good time with. It also plays the nostalgia card very well, making references all over the place. The music will occasionally go all the way back to the original Donkey Kong, including the classic "I've got a hammer" music. The game also includes vines and droppable fruit like in Donkey Kong Jr., acrobatic moves that are reminiscent of Super Mario 64, and the ability to stand on, pick up, and toss enemies just like in Super Mario Bros. 2. Both on its own and as a tribute to Mario's legacy, Mario vs. Donkey Kong does a great job.

Do You Have Poor Credit? We’re Here to Help!
For those with bad credit, personal loans to see them through an emergency monetary scenario are easy to find if you understand where to look. At Bad Credit Loans, we understand that there are emergencies nobody can plan for, and we aren’t limited to helping just consumers with perfect credit. Sometimes a run of bad luck shows up through no fault of your very own. However, as long as you’re working, we have the resources to lend you a helping hand no matter if your credit readies or bad. We want to help notify you on making accountable lending choices and after that connect you to offered loan providers if you feel a bad credit loan would be right for you.
Bad credit can affect more than simply our ability to borrow cash. It can affect our possibilities of landing a task or leasing an apartment. To comprehend exactly what bad credit is how it’s determined and ultimately, how to repair it requires understanding how our monetary system determines our credit.
It ends up that determining our credit reliability– how most likely we are to repay our debts– starts with something called a credit report. Individuals with bad credit have low credit scores.
When it pertains to getting a loan with truly, really bad credit, your alternatives are limited … and typically not very good. The loans that do exist are typically of the “payday” range: low-dollar, short-term, and high-interest loans based not on your credit rating but your routine income– which lending institutions gain access to through your bank account. While a payday advance loan can provide much-needed cash in an emergency situation, the industry is pestered by allegations of predatory practices that trap susceptible debtors.
You’ll likely see high interest rates: For bad credit loans, it’s commonplace to see rates over 20%. Make absolutely particular that you can pay these rates, which you do not have any better options. Debtors with better credit are rewarded with lower rates, so if you have the ability to hold back and enhance your credit score, you might be able to get approved for a far better rate in a year or so. In the meantime, you also might find the best credit cards for bad credit useful.
One note prior to moving forward: Bad credit indicates various things to various lending institutions. Some lending institutions will not consider your application if you have a credit rating listed below a particular number, while others will make it a smaller sized part of their financing decisions. For the purposes of this post, I focus on lending institutions who will make loans to customers with credit report under 640. This score is considered “average” by a lot of loan providers, however providing requirements tightens up considerably listed below this mark.
At this point, you might be thinking: Wait a minute! I have bad credit AND I’m broke. And because of that, a lender wishes to charge me EXTRA interest?
Well the answer, sadly, is yes. Lenders are going to charge you extra.
When you have bad credit, it implies you have a history of paying your debts late or not at all. (You can learn more about credit scores and what they indicate in our guide to improving your credit rating eBook.) This makes it riskier for lenders to let you borrow cash. From their point of view, you already have a history of not paying your debts, so why should they anticipate it to be any various with them? If they lend you a thousand dollars, there’s a very genuine risk that they’re not going to be paid back.
An unsecured bad credit loan means that debtors sign an agreement and pledge to repay their loan inning accordance with the terms and conditions of their loan. If they fail to repay their loan, the loan provider may pursue collection of the cash owed through a debt collectors or other legal system. Common unsecured bad credit loans consist of individual installment loans, charge card, and trainee loans.
A safe bad credit loan requires that the borrower use a valuable product– like an automobile, a home, or a piece of precious jewelry– as collateral to “secure” the loan. This implies that if a debtor is not able to repay the loan, the lending institution is lawfully allowed to seize the collateral and offer it to recoup their losses. Common protected loans include mortgages, automobile title loans, and pawnshop loans.
Technically, a payday advance is a safe loan. You’re not using your cars and truck or the deed to your home, but with a predatory payday advance, you are securing the loan with a check for the quantity you’ve obtained, plus interest or costs. If you’re not able to pay back the exceptionally high-interest loan by the due date (most debtors aren’t), the payday loan provider will cash your check.
Are Bad Credit Loans safe or dangerous?
Bad credit loans– or no credit check loans– are dangerous. If your loan provider does not examine your credit, or your ability to repay your loan, that’s a sign that they aren’t providing you an accountable loan. If they don’t care about your credit, they don’t care about you.
You are not active military workers.
Where to Get Installation Loans for Bad Credit?
When you are looking for installment loans for bad credit, you must take a look at the following aspects in a loan.
Just like making an application for any other loan, the possible recipient of an installation loan need to fulfill specific criteria in order to be authorized. The majority of applicants are happily amazed when it pertains to how basic the credentials are. The very first certification is age; you need to be 25 or older to be qualified to receive an installation loan. Next, the possible customer needs to have a savings account that is qualified for getting direct deposits. Online installment loans are constantly transferred electronically so a direct bank account is a must. The 3rd certification is a minimum income of at least $1300 monthly. This requirement is just to make sure that you will not have a problem making a monthly installation payment to pay back your loan. The last credentials is proof of employment. You can generally show this by revealing a recent paycheck stub or letter from your employer.
Fair To Bad Credit history (Score That Is Under 650).
No Collateral To Back Your Loan In Case Of Default.
A lot of Late Payments That Reflect Inability To Pay.
Clearly if any or all these items associate with your present monetary situation, you have experienced problem in getting financed. Many banks or loan provider will have a hard time approving your personal loan simple because they see you as a high danger to them. As we went over in detail above, you still have choices that are customized individual loans for individuals with bad credit.

Bearing the name of a 6th century archbishop, Saint-Brevin was originally a little village of fishermen and farmers which, because of its strategic location at the mouth of the Loire, was fortified by Vauban.
Like the majority of coastal towns during this period, Saint-Brevin faced the problem of sand coming into the town. In the 19th century, the commune planted a pine forest to stabilise the dunes, a pine forest which has come to characterise it and has helped transform the town into a true seaside resort.
If you’re a sports fan and you adore nature, then the Foulées des Dunes are for you! Every year on 15th August, the town organises 2 cross-country races next to the sea at Saint-Brevin - a 4 km race for children and a 9 km race for adults - and the Foulées des Dunes attracts over 700 participants each year. This original sports competition is the last race in the Atlantic Jade Coast Challenge.
You will have the unique opportunity of crossing the Loire to get to Saint-Brévin, starting from the Camping du Bugeau ***!

Born: 1835, Abroath, Scotland, United Kingdom.
Died: 30 August 1882, Stellenbosch, South Africa.
George Gordon, son of Alexander Gordon and his wife Jane Hay, obtained the degree Master of Arts (MA) at Marischal College and the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, and the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) in London. He arrived in South Africa in September 1873, having been recruited as a teacher of mathematics at the Stellenbosch Gymnasium which at that time was a secondary school. In November 1874 he was appointed professor of mathematics and physical science (including chemistry) in the newly created Arts Department of the Gymnasium, which provided tuition at the tertiary level. He thus became one of the three members of the institution's first senate. Among others he trained the first student to be awarded a masters degree in mathematics by a university in southern Africa, namely Hendrik J.L. du Toit*, who was awarded the MA degree in "mathematics and natural philosophy" by the University of the Cape of Good Hope in 1878.
In 1881 the Arts Department of Stellenbosch Gymnasium obtained its college charter and became Stellenbosch College (from 1887 Victoria College, and eventually the University of Stellenbosch). From the beginning of 1882, following the arrival of W.H.A. Peak* as professor of chemistry and physics, Gordon taught only mathematics (which included mechanics). However, he died later that year of appendicitis, leaving behind his wife Catherine and three children. As a very kind person he was ardently beloved by his students. From 1880 to his death he was a member of the council of the University of the Cape of Good Hope.

Bordallo Pinheiro opened its first store in Paris, and is expecting to open soon a second commercial space in the French capital as well.
The first store of the century-old brand, founded by Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, is located on the Boulevard Saint Germain, 260, by the metro station Solferino, one of the most commercial streets of Paris, where you can find the top global fashion brands and much more. It’s close to the Musée d'Orsay, one of the most emblematic and well-known museums of the "City of Light", as well as the Quai d’Orsay.
One day after the opening, which took place on 4 December, Serge Guilloux, the councilman of the City Hall of Paris, visited the store. He revealed himself to be an admirer of Bordallo’s work, which he already knew, and seized the opportunity to acquire some pieces. He praised and welcomed the presence of the prestigious Portuguese brand in Paris.
In these early days of the store, something worthy of note is the visit of many French people who reveal themselves connoisseurs of the Bordallo Pinheiro brand, being pleased by the Bordallian pieces, which have no competition in France. Another much-appreciated detail is the decoration of the store, where all the brand’s collections are for sale.
The Bordallo Pinheiro store in Paris is open from Tuesday to Saturday, between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.
There’s a curious note we should mention: it is precisely in the current location of the store that the Portuguese Pavilion was located in the Exposition Universelle of 1889, in which Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro took on the responsibility for the Portuguese representation, having been awarded, by the French president, the gold medal for the best pavilion of the fair. Its earthenware factory also received a medal as the main presence in the whole pavilion. On the same occasion, Master Raphael also received, from the president, the personal decoration of Knight of the French State.

This is your chance to win $1000 from the Calgary Foundation to donate to a local charity!
I have been excited to tell you about this blog post for months!
Today, as a part of Giving Tuesday, we’re launching a new campaign and contest with my amazing friends at the Calgary Foundation. The Calgary Foundation has this fantastic website called the Community Knowledge Centre that showcases charitable organizations working on innovative solutions to our city’s most-pressing issues.
So maybe you’re hoping to give back this holiday season to a charity, but you don’t know where to start. OR maybe you want to volunteer but you want to find a non-profit that lines up with your goals and values. Or maybe you just want to be inspired by the thousands of Calgarians who are doing truly inspiring work across the city. The CKC site is for you. I like to think of it sort of an airbnb for non-profits and their supporters.
The CKC is a tool for connecting people to the vibrant charitable sector, and its profiles include specific information on programs, financial statements, annual reports and links to social media, making it a one stop shop for insights into the charitable sector. Not sure if there’s a non-profit for you? You can actually filter by interest area so it is a great resource for learning about volunteer opportunities available.
Earlier this year, I spent sometime exploring CKC and found some non-profits that were interesting to me. I was thinking lucky enough to spend some time with them and learn more about what they do, and how they contribute to making Calgary a pretty great place to live. I’ll be sharing these videos throughout the week.
Our first stop was to Linkages. Linkages connects seniors and youth ages 12-24 through school-based and community programs that foster mutually beneficial friendships, promote learning and sharing of history, challenge ageist attitudes and strengthen community engagement. I’m so excited to introduce you to Stephen, and his friends Spencer and Jacob.
Our second stop was to meet with my friends at the Calgary Sexual Health Centre and their president Pam Krause. I’ve long been a support of the CSHC and their amazing programs, like Wise Guyz.
Our third and final stop was to spend the afternoon with the always amazing Two Wheel View, and their goal is to change kids’ lives from the seat of a bike.
On top of that, the Calgary Foundation and I are excited to announce a really fun contest, unlike anything I’ve ever gone before. We are going to be giving away $3,000 to local charities, but I want you to decide where the money goes. On Friday, I’ll be choosing three entries and those winners will each get to allocate $1,000 to a CKC charity of their choice How amazing is that? I got chills typing it.
I invite you to explore the CKC website and find a charitable organization that you’d like to support. Then, head to the comments section and tell me why you’d like to donate $1,000 to this charity. The contest closes at 2pm on Friday, December 1st.
And cause, it’s the holidays, can you do me a favour? Head to your social media of choice and share this contest. I want as many people as possible to learn about the great work that the Calgary Foundation is doing, and as also learn about the CKC website, so we can all help our local non-profits throughout the year.
Best of luck to the all those who enter, and thank you to the Calgary Foundation for this incredible opportunity!
I wish to see 1000 dollars donated to the Calgary Homeless Foundation, and since you can direct funding, direct it to the Client Action Committee, a group of homeless and formerly homeless individuals that advise the CHF, assist with research, and advance the rights and voices of the homeless community.
Full disclosure: I’m on the committee, but we aren’t considered CHF staff, but we are funded through their research department.
PS. Join us at millennium park as we honor lives lost to homelessness this past year. Dec 21st, 5-7pm.
Brown Bagging for Calgary kids. The need is greater than ever.
I would chose “Sunrise Community Link Resource Centre Society” Sunrise does fantastic and essential work in East Calgary for our most vulnerable.
I nominate @ARBI (The Association for the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured). This great local non-profit does amazing work with survivors of stroke and traumatic brain injury. These amazing folks achieve incredible results for the survivors and their families. $1,000 can provide a significant amount of treatment hours for ARBI’s clients. They are most deserving!

The Bristol football fan reported missing after leaving his ticket at home has been found 'drunk in a hotel by police', according to Russian media.
Douglas Moreton hit headlines ahead of England's World Cup game against Panama last month when he arrived in Russa, only to realise he'd left his ticket at home.
After an appeal to find Douglas a ticket failed, the fan was reported missing by a family member.
Douglas spoke to journalist Dan Howells - who was staying in the same hotel as him - about his plight, saying he thinks he left the ticket in his drawer.
A concerned relative wrote on chat site Reddit asking for help in finding Douglas, who had not been seen since Friday, July 6.
The relative said: "We are trying to get in contact with my uncle - Douglas Moreton. He has been missing since 6th July 2018. He went to Russia for the World Cup.
"He was last seen on the 6th July 2018 in the Samara hotel on Sorokina Street 36, but we know he went to the McDonalds near there the following day. He was out there for the England game and was meant to be travelling back to Moscow by train.
"I just wanted to say thank you everyone who is reaching out and messaging suggestions. It is very kind of you to be offering time/translations/ideas to someone you do not know.
"I shall update when we have more information - hopefully it will be soon to say he is found. But if you do see my uncle, could you ask him to contact us.
"He is around 5ft 5 ish, has a Bristolian twang, always wears glasses and has stubble like in the photograph (he is rarely clean shaven)."
Russian media is reporting that a major search operation was launched to find Douglas, and police then found him 'drunk in a hotel'.
The Russian news agency TASS said: "According to the TASS source in law enforcement bodies, the fan was found in a Moscow hotel in a state of strong alcoholic intoxication."
According to TASS, the British Embassy has been alerted to Douglas' wherabouts.
The family member has also updated the Reddit post, confirming Douglas is safe and thinking people for their help in the search.
They said: "Confirmed that he is safe. Thank you for everyone's support and help."
