One thing many of us could practice more is having more patience. In a world where everyone tends to opt for quick-fix solutions, not many possess the virtue of being patient.

In today’s times, many people seem to lack the necessary willpower to wait just a bit longer for something more worthy. Instead, when they want it, they want it now; without any kind of delay.

Granted, we all find ourselves in situations where we simply can’t afford to wait. Afterall, we are always reminded that time is money.

guess what i just finished cooking….

my wild west ocs >:)

keep reading to find out more abt them!

Lillianna (17)

Background: Filipino descent

Personality: A playful jokester with a keen sense of timing. Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, she genuinely cares for her found family. While some may perceive her as nagging, it stems from a place of genuine concern.

Strengths: Remarkable accuracy with weapons, skilled in crafting high-quality clothes and satchels, adept at manipulation and deceit.

Weaknesses: Limited endurance for heavier weapons (e.g., rifles, shotguns), tendency to become overly cautious or anxious in certain situations

James “The Reckoner/Jim” Hesson (40)

Background: Scottish-American descent

Personality: Demonstrates unwavering loyalty and responsibility, but often indifferent to danger. Keeps to himself and can be intimidating when provoked, which is a rare occurrence but should be avoided at all costs.

Strengths: Possesses considerable brute strength, sharp and witty, maintains a dead accurate aim (though recently, he's been sloppy).

Weaknesses: Prone to excessive vengefulness, occasional incompetence or recklessness in battle due to struggles with alcoholism.

a bit of lore !

In the year 1859, amidst the western expansion, a Filipino couple devised a daring escape from servitude aboard a Californian Spanish galleon. Their plan was to embark on this journey with their newborn daughter, but tragedy struck as the wife succumbed to childbirth. In her final moments, she bestowed upon her baby girl a golden tamborin necklace, gazing at her with boundless love.

Devastated yet determined, the father, carrying his infant daughter, narrowly evaded capture but not without a price—he took a gunshot to the shoulder. Fleeing into the vast wilderness, he encountered two notorious outlaws, Lucas Davies and Jim Hesson, known as "The Rapid Raiders" at the time.

The duo, with intentions of robbery, found themselves hesitating as they observed the dire condition of the father and his baby. Hesson, grappling with a language barrier, grew frustrated and was on the verge of violence. However, a group of lawmen interrupted their confrontation, forcing Davies and Hesson to flee. The father, desperate for salvation, pleaded with them to take him and his daughter.

In a twist of fate, Davies deciphered the father's silent plea and allowed them to join the outlaws on their escape. Riding hard to evade the pursuing lawmen, tragedy struck again as the father succumbed to his gunshot wounds. Clutching his daughter tightly, he whispered her name—Liwayway—before breathing his last.

Now conflicted on what to do, Davies and Hesson debated the fate of the orphaned child. Ultimately, Davies decided to take her with them, while they searched for an orphanage willing to provide her refuge. In an attempt to name her, they struggled to understand the father's last words, settling on Lillianna as a tribute to the family they unintentionally gained on their tumultuous journey through the unforgiving frontier.

Blundell and Jamieson give England the runaround

Visit Now - http://zeroviral.com/blundell-and-jamieson-give-england-the-runaround/

Blundell and Jamieson give England the runaround

England began four days of Test preparation in Hamilton on Wednesday with the first two days played with the pink ball under lights. The matches aren’t first-class, England bowled first by agreement and teams can continue batting a whole day even if bowled out, so the games are essentially glorified middle practice. It all started well for England, reducing the New Zealand XI to 30 for 5, but a chastening afternoon and evening followed as Tom Blundell and Kyle Jamieson added 163 and both scored centuries. Here are a few things that caught the eye.

Ben Stokes’ back

Stokes-watch has not finished with his comeback in the one-day series. He will sit out the first two-day game with a back problem but it is being played down as nothing serious; England are hopeful he will play over the second two days, he pushed himself hard during the ODIs and may be feeling the effects. However, it is likely his workload in the Tests will need to be managed or he could be considered as a specialist batsman. In that case it would again leave England needing to find a way to balance the side. At the very least, Stokes won’t have had any middle time with the pink ball. James Vince, who could be vulnerable if Stokes plays as a batsman, had seven overs on the opening day here, but if he’s needed for that many in a Test, things haven’t gone well.

Early points to England’s quicks

New Zealand’s Test openers, Jeet Raval and Tom Latham, walked out to open the XI’s innings – a chance for Raval to have an early sight of the pink ball and for Latham to adjust from one-day cricket. It didn’t work out for either of them first time around. James Anderson, quickly back into the groove, pushed one across Latham to find the outside edge and then Raval had a lazy waft at Stuart Broad’s first ball to give Ben Foakes another catch. With Henry Nicholls chipping to midwicket and Colin de Grandhomme edging Mark Wood behind, it wasn’t a great day for New Zealand’s Test squad. There was time late in the day for Raval to fall a second time, edging a good delivery from Broad. Not the ideal preparation.

Wood opens the bowling

Broad is on 399 Test wickets has been working hard between series on trying to regain the outswinger. He had to wait a little while for his first bowl of the tour, though, as Wood was given the new ball ahead of him. If Stokes and Chris Woakes (rested here with a hamstring niggle) are fit, it’s hard to see how Wood would fit into the Test side, so it was an interesting decision from Joe Root. Wood’s first spell ended with 3-2-1-0 and then Broad struck with his first delivery.

Blundell hard done by

Tom Blundell made a century on Test debut against West Indies but, two matches later, is out of the team with BJ Watling having recovered from his hip problem to regain his place. That is an unsurprising decision – Watling averages 38.05 in Tests – but Blundell ensured that the pressure will be on Watling to perform. Having come in at 15 for 4, he became increasingly aggressive during the afternoon – his second fifty took just 49 balls – to reach three figures from 149 deliveries. It won’t have hurt that New Zealand coach Mike Hesson was at the ground by this time. When he had 131, he felt he had enough and retired to give someone else a chance.

When the ball goes soft

This opposition is stronger than what England faced during their warm-ups in Australia, although the manufactured match situation is unsatisfactory. It wouldn’t have mattered if New Zealand had been skittled, they would have all come in for another bat. At least, though, this was genuine resistance. The recovery, again, raised the question of what this attack can do when the Kookaburra passes about 25 overs. There was some fill-in bowling used at times, but England went 45 overs between actually taking a wicket themselves, and Moeen Ali was treated with some disdain, conceding over four an over. The fact that that period involved a No. 8 without a first-class fifty will raise a few concerns.

Who is Kyle Jamieson?

The 23-year-old six foot six Canterbury fast bowler, who was part of the New Zealand Under-19s squad in 2014, missed the start of this season with injury, has a highest first-class score of 40, and is more known for his exploits with the ball. A few around the ground raised an eyebrow when he batted ahead of Scott Kuggeleijn (three first-class centuries) in this side, but he certainly didn’t look out of place. He took a particular liking to Wood, with a strike-rate of 163 against him, while Anderson did not take kindly to some of his batting – at one stage the umpire had to step in. His century came from 110 balls when he nudged a single off Moeen. It won’t class in his official records, but he can tell the story of this innings for years to come.

Borrow $5,000, repay $42,000. How super high-interest loans have boomed

By Andrew Khouri and James Rufus Koren, Los Angeles Times, Jan 19, 2018

JoAnn Hesson, sick with diabetes for years, was desperate.

After medical bills for a leg amputation and kidney transplant wiped out most of her retirement nest egg, she found that her Social Security and small pension weren’t enough to make ends meet.

As the Marine Corps veteran waited for approval for a special pension from the Department of Veterans Affairs, she racked up debt with a series of increasingly pricey online loans.

In May 2015, the Rancho Santa Margarita resident borrowed $5,125 from Anaheim lender LoanMe at the eye-popping annual interest rate of 116%. The following month, she borrowed $2,501 from Ohio firm Cash Central at an even higher APR: 183%.

“I don’t consider myself a dumb person,” said Hesson, 68. “I knew the rates were high, but I did it out of desperation.”

Not long ago, personal loans of this size with sky-high interest rates were nearly unheard of in California. But over the last decade, they’ve exploded in popularity as struggling households--typically with poor credit scores--have found a new source of quick cash from an emerging class of online lenders.

Unlike payday loans, which can carry even higher annual percentage rates but are capped in California at $300 and are designed to be paid off in a matter of weeks, installment loans are typically for several thousand dollars and structured to be repaid over a year or more. The end result is a loan that can cost many times the amount borrowed.

Hesson’s $5,125 loan was scheduled to be repaid over more than seven years, with $495 due monthly, for a total of $42,099.85--that’s nearly $37,000 in interest.

“Access to credit of this kind is like giving starving people poisoned food,” said consumer advocate Margot Saunders, an attorney with the National Consumer Law Center. “It doesn’t really help, and it has devastating consequences.”

These pricey loans are perfectly legal in California and a handful of other states with lax lending rules. While California has strict rules governing payday loans, and a complicated system of interest-rate caps for installment loans of less than $2,500, there’s no limit to the amount of interest on bigger loans.

State lawmakers in 1985 removed an interest-rate cap on loans between $2,500 and $5,000. Now, more than half of all loans in that range carry triple-digit interest rates.

In 2009, Californians took out $214 million in installment loans of between $2,500 and $5,000, now the most common size of loan without a rate cap, according to the state Department of Business Oversight. In 2016, the volume hit $1.6 billion. Loans with triple-digit rates accounted for more than half, or $879 million--a nearly 40-fold increase since 2009.

The number of loans between $5,000 and $10,000 with triple-digit rates also has seen a dramatic 5,500% increase, though they are less common. In 2016, loans of that size totaled $1.06 billion, with $224 million carrying rates of 100% or higher.

Many of the loans can be tied to just three lenders, who account for half of the triple-digit interest rate loans in the popular $2,500-to-$5,000 size range. LoanMe, Cincinnati firm Check ‘n Go and Fort Worth’s Elevate Credit each issued more than $100 million in such loans in 2016, as well as tens of millions of dollars of loans up to $10,000 with triple-digit APRs.

Lenders argue they need to charge such high rates because the majority of these loans are unsecured: If borrowers stop paying, there are no assets for lenders to seize.

For these borrowers, pawn shops and local storefront lenders used to be the most likely options, but those businesses can’t match the volume or convenience of today’s online lenders, which can reach millions of potential borrowers on the internet.

Many banks don’t offer personal loans at all--and certainly not to customers with weak credit looking for fast cash. After the financial crisis, banks reined in their credit card offers and stopped offering mortgages and home equity loans to customers with bad credit.

“Unfortunately, banks and other traditional lenders refuse to make needed loans to a large segment of the population,” LoanMe executive Jonathan Williams wrote in an emailed statement. “We believe that these borrowers should be given the option to borrow at these higher interest rates rather than lose access to all credit.”

The cap on the size of payday loans also has played a role. In California, after fees, the most a customer can walk away with is $255.

Clark of Check ‘n Go, which for years offered only payday loans, said many of his customers switched to installment loans once the company started offering them in 2010.

“Consumers need larger amounts and more time to pay,” Clark said. “Demand was there.”

Lisa Servon, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania who worked at a check-cashing store and a payday lender while researching her recent book--“The Unbanking of America: How the New Middle Class Survives”--said consumers with an urgent need for money aren’t in a position to shop around or wait even a few days for an approval.

“How much time from the moment I apply to the moment I have money in my hand?” she said. “That’s what people want to know.”

Caren Jefferson found herself in just such a situation 2½ years ago. The 50-year-old South Los Angeles resident, who had uterine cancer, was frequently overdrafting her bank account and desperate to pay bills. She estimated it took 24 hours or less for LoanMe to deposit $3,000 into her bank account.

Jefferson said she wasn’t told that the loan carried a 135% interest rate or that after an initial payment of $267 she would owe $351 a month for just shy of four years--though she clicked quickly through the online application without reading much of it.

A real estate escrow officer, Jefferson made only one payment before she started overdrafting again. She told LoanMe’s customer service department that she had made a “big financial mistake.”

“Being desperate for money may lead one to make a bad/hasty decision,” she wrote the company in October 2015, according to a letter contained in a lawsuit she filed alleging unfair debt collection practices by LoanMe. “I have to rob Peter to pay Paul and someone will go unpaid.”

Many consumer advocacy groups consider these loans predatory by nature, with desperate borrowers taken in by aggressive marketing and promises of quick cash.

“They’re exploiting people’s financial hardships,” said Liana Molina of the California Reinvestment Coalition. “You can’t make a rational decision when you’re in a moment of crisis.”

What’s more, advocates argue that installment loan companies do little to determine whether borrowers can repay a loan, because it’s just not that important to them.

“As long as the borrower pays long enough before defaulting, a high-rate installment loan will be profitable,” the National Consumer Law Center said in a 2016 report.

If a borrower, such as Jefferson, makes only a few payments, a lender is certainly losing money. But if Jefferson had made a year’s worth of payments, LoanMe would have received $4,129, about $1,000 more than she borrowed--and Jefferson would still be on the hook for more than $12,000 in payments.

Many lenders, including LoanMe, Elevate and Check ‘n Go, do not charge a prepayment penalty, so borrowers can save thousands of dollars if they pay off their loans early.

In the case of Hesson, the LoanMe borrower who has diabetes, it might not have taken advanced analytics to know she’d run into trouble.

When Hesson applied for her $5,125 loan in May 2015, she had just received the last monthly payment from a long-term disability insurance policy. Without that $1,900, she had income of about $2,900 a month from Social Security, alimony and a small pension.

Her rent at a seniors-only apartment complex plus utilities and monthly payments for two larger loans totaled about $2,600.

LoanMe payments added $495, bringing her total obligations to $200 more than her monthly income. And that’s without even considering her medical bills, or food, cable, internet access and other miscellaneous expenses.

Hesson knew she did not have the money to repay LoanMe. But she was hoping the loan would tide her over until she could qualify for an additional federal pension--which ended up being denied.

“I didn’t like not paying bills,” she said. “But they made it so easy.”

Advocates say Hesson’s story has become common over the last several years.

Leigh Ferrin, an attorney at the nonprofit Public Law Center in Santa Ana, said about 1 in 3 bankruptcy cases that crosses her desk has a high-interest installment lender as a creditor.

“We see loans with 90% APR, 100%, 130%--that’s the new normal, which is kind of depressing,” she said.

When borrowers stop paying, lenders say they have little recourse to get the money they are owed--though that doesn’t mean they don’t try.

Jefferson, the LoanMe borrower, asked for a settlement or deferred payments, telling the company she hoped to provide a Thanksgiving meal and Christmas presents for her 5-year-old granddaughter.

“I am trying to make it so I can pay you and still live,” she wrote to LoanMe.

She said the company’s customer service representatives told her they didn’t offer settlements or modifications. One, she said, even scolded her for taking out a loan “if you didn’t know what you were doing.”

Collection calls came as many as 15 times a day on her cell, land line and at the office. Jefferson said she blocked LoanMe’s number, only to have the Orange County company call with Los Angeles area codes.

“I was going to bed and waking up to LoanMe,” she said.

LoanMe never sued Jefferson to recover money owed, but that is not always so.

In 2016 and 2017, LoanMe sued more than 3,000 borrowers in Los Angeles County small claims court, seeking repayment.

And in numerous bankruptcy cases, LoanMe has gone after borrowers alleging they either took out loans with no intent to repay them or were insolvent at the time they applied for loans.

Rees said among Elevate borrowers in California who repay their loans in full, 99% pay early, so the company rarely collects as much interest as the rates and terms suggest.

At Orange County-based CashCall, an early player in the market for these loans, about 40% of borrowers defaulted and 50% paid early, according to written testimony by its chief financial officer in a long-running court case over the company’s interest rates.

One thing lenders and advocacy groups agree on: There is demand for these loans, driven by low wage growth, climbing housing costs, catastrophic medical bills and a lack of job security--factors that have kept many Americans on the financial edge.

A May report from the Federal Reserve found that about 25% of American adults can’t cover all of their monthly bills, and 44% say they don’t have enough savings to cover an unexpected expense of $400. Nearly a quarter said they had paid an unexpected medical expense over the last year, and more than 40% of those--representing about 24 million Americans--said they were still paying debt related to those expenses.

That’s why lenders say their products are needed to help cash-strapped Americans make ends meet.

Consumer advocates say super-expensive debt is not the solution.

The million-dollar question is, is expensive credit better than no credit at all?

For John Jeon, the answer was yes.

A year ago, he lost a seasonal job at a West Hollywood hotel and needed cash to pay rent and a medical bill.

With a poor credit score and limited options, he turned to Elevate.

He said he originally wanted only $1,500, but Elevate doesn’t offer loans that small and approved him for $3,000 at 224% APR.

The 28-year-old took it, thinking the extra money would give him time to find a steady job--which he eventually did as a manager of a Koreatown seafood restaurant. He also worked to pay off the loan two months early.

“The nature of this loan,” Jeon said, “it’s not good to be making minimum payments.”

Director Christa Harris comments, “I am tremendously excited to be directing an immersive experience with a group of kick-ass, courageous women who are ready to punch the patriarchy in the face and tell the world that they will not be silenced. As Pussy Riot are an all-female, punk, protest group, we felt that this story would best be served by reflecting this in the casting. Of course, being a female is not a prerequisite to being a feminist, but as our cast are playing Pussy Riot playing various roles in the experience (a la Pussy Riot’s 2016 music video ‘Make America Great Again’), this felt like an important artistic and political decision to go forward with. We want to push boundaries with this production, and not only aim to inspire and empower our audience with the anarchic spirit of Pussy Riot, but most importantly show them the power of their own voices.”

The new immersive production, Inside Pussy Riot, marks the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Audiences are encouraged to stand up for what they believe in, identifying with themes including censorship, patriarchy and pollution. Stand in the dock as Pussy Riot and live the realities of their incarceration through this exhilarating theatrical experience. Les Enfants Terribles and Nadya Tolokonnikova have created a Brechtian absurd experience, a unique mix of the comedic and the real.

Inside Pussy Riot is an immersive theatrical experience, about Nadya Tolokonnikova‘s tribulations as the co-founder of Pussy Riot, thepost-punkk, feminist art collective who stuck two fingers up at the Russian system and suffered the consequences. Many remember that on 17th August 2012, Pussy Riot’s Tolokonnikova was prosecuted for performing 35 seconds of a song called Virgin Mary Put Putin Away – a direct attack on the Russian Orthodox Church’s unequivocal support for Vladimir Putin – inside Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. She was convicted of ‘hooliganism motivated by religious hatred’ and was sentenced to two years of imprisonment, where she was faced with solitary confinement and humiliation, including regular forced gynaecological examinations.

The immersive world of Inside Pussy Riot seeks to remind audiences what actually happened and how one’s basic human rights and freedom of expression can be taken away at any point. With heightened extreme theatricality, the production exposes the horrors of Pussy Riot’s experience. It seeks to provoke and challenge audiences, showing that this could happen to anyone.

The production takes place as part of the Saatchi Gallery’s Art Riot: Post Soviet Actionism exhibition and is presented in association with The Tsukanov Family Foundation.

Inside Pussy Riot Saatchi Gallery King’s Road London 14th November to 24th December 2017

I do not recall ethanol being much of an issue between them, perhaps she would have lost Iowa if she did had not supported ethanol. Sanders does not appear to be a threat to ethanol, more of a threat to oil and gas in fact than Hillary. He wanted to end fracking, that ends oil a few years sooner than it otherwise would. He voted YES on raising CAFE standards; incentives for alternative fuels. Sanders co-sponsored setting goal of 25% renewable energy by 2025 Sanders co-sponsored allowing states to define stricter emission standards-(I am against this one because states already have this power, no one on earth needs to allow them to)

Fletch conservatl 20 hours ago Ethanol reduces price for our fuel. Ethanol at 10% is the cheapest, cleanest, most non toxic, and concentrated octane booster available. The carcinogenic and toxic alternative BTX(benzene, toluene, and xylene) costs more to use. E85 as seen at e85prices.com as a fuel at $1.79/gal is cheaper per mile to use than E0 at $2.63. In a chevy 5.3L engine that gets 18 mpg with E0 and 13mpg with E85 we get this: E85 @ $1.79 = $.138/mile at a clean 380 horsepower. E0 @ $2.63 = $.146/mile at a dirty 355 horsepower. http://media.gm.com/media/us/e... Saudi Arabia bragged it funded 20% of Hillary's campaign. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/... With E0 more of your money goes to Arab sheiks and with E85 more of your money goes to American workers and American businesses who pay American taxes and put it in American banks and buy goods and services that you or your fellow Americans produce. Why not use cleaner burning E85, support more Americans, and pay less in cost per mile to boot.

Fletch rusty hesson 21 hours ago Rafael "Ted" Cruz only won Iowa by lying to everyone with coordinated fake rumor/news that evening that Ben Carson had dropped out of the race. Carson was set to have a very strong showing which could have catapulted him to a better showing in all the races, but dirty tricks from a very unethical man stopped that. Ben Carson is an ethical man. That was probably the margin that lost Trump's victory. Cruz was seen as an alternative to Carson because Trump was probably seen as a "city slicker" at that early juncture of the race in rural areas. Iowa clearly warmed up as soon as they got to know more of Trump.
