Déchargez-vous sur lui de tous vos soucis, car lui-même prend soin de vous. 1 Pierre 5:7

Les chrétiens doivent se décharger de tout mécontentement, tout découragement, tout désespoir et toute souffrance sur le Seigneur et lui faire confiance, car il sait ce qu’il fait de leur vie (voir 1 Samuel 1.9-18).

En plus de la soumission (voir 1 Pierre 5.5) et de l’humilité (voir 1 Pierre 5.5-6), la confiance en Dieu est nécessaire pour vivre une vie chrétienne victorieuse.

La puissante main de Dieu est sur les chrétiens pour les éduquer, et souvent dans des conditions très douloureuses, comme c’est le cas dans les persécutions, la pauvreté et la maladie. Pourtant nous devons nous incliner sous Sa main, et le moment venu, nous serons élevés.

En attendant, nous devons rejeter tous nos soucis que ce pénible état de choses peut produire, et les rejeter sur Lui dans la pleine assurance qu’Il a soin de nous.

The New Jerusalem Bible

A review of the 1985 New Jerusalem Bible, which is a revision of the original (1966) Jerusalem Bible. This Catholic study Bible features a single-column layout in a 9 point font, with extensive notes in two columns and a 6.5 point font. Although the cover is imitation leather, the binding is sewn. The New Jerusalem Bible is a relatively free (dynamic equivalence) translation. The words of Christ are in black.

The notes and book introductions in the New Jerusalem Bible promote higher critical views of the generation and development of the Biblical text, so this Bible may not be suitable for those who are weak in their faith. ISBN: 0385191723.

The Most Promising Players In The NBA Draft According To My Computer

We usually don’t release our CARMELO NBA projections until after the NBA draft. But this year, in an effort to procrastinate from other modelling-related tasks,9 I finished them a little early. We’ll publish the complete set of CARMELO projections later this month, but with the draft scheduled for Thursday night, I wanted to share the system’s take on the best NCAA prospects.

Our methodology for CARMELO is pretty much the same as last year, with only minor tweaks. It works by identifying statistically comparable players — for instance, John Wall is currently similar to Detroit Pistons Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas and to Deron Williams. For NBA veterans, we use a database of player statistics since the ABA-NBA merger in 1976, and for rookies, we use a database of NCAA statistics since 2002, adjusted for pace and opponent strength, as provided to us by ESPN Stats & Information Group. The rookie projections also account for — indeed, heavily emphasize — where in the draft each player was selected. Because the 2018 draft hasn’t taken place yet, we can’t use that variable to evaluate this year’s prospects, so for now I’ve used scouting rankings for both current and historical players.10

As I said, the changes from last year’s model are pretty minor, but one of them is potentially relevant in the context of this year’s draft, which is heavy on big men, including traditional centers such as Arizona’s Deandre Ayton. As ESPN’s Kevin Pelton has found, it’s become easier in recent seasons for teams to find once-desirable big men on the waiver wire or available for the minimum salary; the former All-Star center Roy Hibbert, who didn’t play at all in the NBA last year, is one perfect example. After evaluating the performance of players on minimum salaries over the past four years, we now use position-based replacement levels,11 which reflect that it takes a little bit more for big men to generate surplus value in the NBA than it does for guards and wings.

One last important warning: This list does not include projections for European players (so no Luka Doncic) or for other players who did not play NCAA basketball for some reason. Also, since Michael Porter Jr. played in only three NCAA games as a result of injury, we don’t project him on the basis of his NCAA statistics.12

At any rate, here goes: The top prospects as projected by CARMELO, non-Doncic, non-Porter edition. Players are ranked by their projected wins above replacement over their first seven NBA seasons:

One thing you see is that CARMELO is extremely deferential to the scout rankings — more so than other systems that use similar data, such as Pelton’s system or the Stats & Info system. Both CARMELO and the scouts have Ayton as the No. 1 pick, for example. The order of the big men listed just after Ayton is slightly different — CARMELO prefers Duke’s Marvin Bagley III and Michigan State’s Jaren Jackson Jr. to Texas’s Mohamed Bamba — but these differences are minor. As both an empirical and a philosophical matter, we think it’s hard to beat the consensus rankings of NBA scouts and franchises. NBA teams are smart these days: Many of them have projection systems that are at least as sophisticated as CARMELO, plus they have lots of other information that we can’t possibly account for. So if CARMELO disagrees with the consensus of NBA teams, we don’t necessarily want to take CARMELO’s side of the bet.

With that said, there are a few differences. CARMELO puts a lot of emphasis on a player’s age; it’s relevant, for instance, that Jackson is more than a full year younger than fellow freshman Bamba. The counterpoint to this is that older players can sometimes help a team now, even if they have less upside. For instance, Mikal Bridges, who played three seasons at Villanova, is one of just three players who project to have a positive WAR in 2018-19. (The others are Ayton and Bamba; Doncic would probably also qualify if we projected him.) And Duke senior Grayson Allen has the fifth-best projection for 2018-19 even though he rates as just the 25th-best long-term prospect.

We can get a better sense for where CARMELO differs from the scouts by taking the scouting rankings out of the system and running “pure stats” projections instead. (Note that these projections still account for a player’s height, weight, position and age, in addition to his NCAA statistics.) Again, we would not recommend that NBA teams draft players on the basis of the list, but it helps to reveal how CARMELO “thinks”:

On a pure stats basis, Bagley rates as the top pick, somewhat ahead of Ayton. CARMELO sees the two players as being highly similar — they share many of the same comparables — but Bagley is half a year younger, and he posted his stats against tougher competition at Duke than Ayton did at Arizona. College statistics don’t do a good job of accounting for defense, and there are concerns about Bagley’s defense, but the same is true for Ayton. My point is not necessarily that teams should draft Bagley over Ayton — I’d defer to the scouts who say Ayton has more upside. But I do think it’s probably more of a crapshoot than most fans assume.

There’s a similar dynamic between the top point guards in the draft, Oklahoma’s Trae Young and Alabama’s Collin Sexton. The scouts have Young ranked slightly higher, but CARMELO sees them has very comparable players on the basis of their statistics. It’s true that Young scored more points per game than Sexton (27.4 versus 19.2), but that’s because the Sooners played at a faster pace, and Young played more minutes and used a larger share of his team’s possessions — all factors that aren’t particularly predictive of success at an NBA level.

CARMELO also sometimes like guys who played non-starring roles on good teams, such as Kentucky’s Kevin Knox and Duke’s Gary Trent Jr. These players don’t necessarily post hugely impressive raw statistics, in part because they have to share the ball with a lot of other talented players. But they look better when evaluated on an efficiency basis and adjusted for strength of competition.

Finally, there are a few true “computer picks” — guys who didn’t have great scouting pedigrees coming out of high school but who had impressive NCAA seasons. These include Texas Tech’s Zhaire Smith and Maryland’s Kevin Huerter, both of whom are reportedly rising on NBA teams’ draft boards.

Déchargez-vous sur lui de tous vos soucis, car lui-même prend soin de vous. 1 Pierre 5:7

Les chrétiens doivent se décharger de tout mécontentement, tout découragement, tout désespoir et toute souffrance sur le Seigneur et lui faire confiance, car il sait ce qu’il fait de leur vie (voir 1 Samuel 1.9-18).

En plus de la soumission (voir 1 Pierre 5.5) et de l’humilité (voir 1 Pierre 5.5-6), la confiance en Dieu est nécessaire pour vivre une vie chrétienne victorieuse.

La puissante main de Dieu est sur les chrétiens pour les éduquer, et souvent dans des conditions très douloureuses, comme c’est le cas dans les persécutions, la pauvreté et la maladie. Pourtant nous devons nous incliner sous Sa main, et le moment venu, nous serons élevés.

En attendant, nous devons rejeter tous nos soucis que ce pénible état de choses peut produire, et les rejeter sur Lui dans la pleine assurance qu’Il a soin de nous.

Justin Kluivert, Matthijs de Ligt, Frenkie de Jong and Donny van de Beek: Ajax four wonderkids revealed

THE transfer window is closed but, rather than concentrate on matters on the pitch, top clubs are busy behind the scenes working on plans for the summer.

Despite signing Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool, Barcelona aren’t prepared to stand still and the Catalan club are already making plans for when the window next swings open.

Rex Features

Ajax have a rich history of producing some of the best talent in world football

Jose Mari Bakero, Barca’s youth coordinator, took a trip to the Netherlands to watch Ajax take on PEC Zwolle at the weekend with an eye on four players in particular.

Reports suggest he was running the rule over Justin Kluivert, Matthijs de Ligt, Frenkie de Jong and Donny van de Beek.

All four started as the legendary Dutch side came away 1-0 winners, but it was former Real Madrid striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar who scored the only goal of the game.

Our friends at Football Whispers bring us the lowdown on the talented quartet who could follow in the footsteps of Johan Cruyff in playing for Ajax and Barca.

Justin Kluivert

Known to be a Manchester United transfer target, the 18-year-old is the son of former Barca forward Patrick Kluivert and excitement is already growing around the potential of the young winger.

With six league goals this term he is attracting interest, but the teenager is keeping his cards close to his chest.

“If you get a nice offer, you never know,” he told the Dutch press. “England appeals to me: Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea or Manchester United are nice clubs where I can see myself playing in a few years.

Son of Patrick Kluivert, Justin is set to follow in his father's footsteps

“I really wanted to go to Barcelona instead of Real Madrid. Barcelona is in my heart, but who am I to say no to Real Madrid?”

Playing off the left-wing, Kluivert is quick and devastating with the ball at his feet, helping him rack up four assists this term.

The much coveted centre-back has been on Barca’s radar for some time.

The Spanish side see him as a natural partner to Samuel Umtiti and could make a move for the 18-year-old this summer.

Despite his youth, de Ligt has been a feature of Ajax’s defence for two seasons now, playing more than 50 Eredivisie games.

He impressed beside Davinson Sanchez before the Colombian made the move to Tottenham.

But the Dutch centre-back has taken control of the back-line and leads his team with 4.7 clearances per 90 minutes.

Last season the creative midfielder spent much of the season playing for the Under-21 side, but he showed enough in both the Eredivisie and Europa League to hint at his potential.

The deep-lying playmaker has played 21 league games this term, picking up eight assists.

Recently, as the Dutch side deal with injuries to their centre-backs, the Under-21 international has been utilised in the centre of the defence next to De Ligt.

Extremely comfortable in possession and a superb passer, de Jong can take charge of a game and is a superb link between the defence and attack.

Donny van de Beek

An impressive central midfielder, the 20-year-old is a true double threat. In 23 league starts, he has scored nine goals and added three assists.

Ajax’s all-action box-to-box youngster wins 1.9 tackles per 90 minutes, makes 1.5 key passes and attempts 2.3 shots.

Dangerous all over the pitch, he’s no stranger to trying his luck from distance and is also a threat with well-timed runs into the penalty area.

Able to score with both feet and his head, the Dutch midfielder has shown there is very little he can’t do.

With Barcelona keen to add a spark to their midfield, van de Beek is different from anything they already have and his work-rate and dynamism from the centre of the park would make him an instant hero at the Nou Camp.

An In-Depth Look At Federal Cannabis Prisoners

Jon Gettman of High Times Reports:

Pot use under prohibition creates a tremendous variety of costs, and one of them is the incarceration of over ten thousand federal cannabis prisoners.

How many people are federal cannabis prisoners? The government just does not keep track of exactly of what offenses landed someone in federal prison. The relevant federal agency is the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), and they do not provide the public with data on the criminal history of prisoners, not data on offense details or sentencing decisions. This makes it “difficult to assess the criminal background of the offenders and the nature of their offenses.”

For these reasons Sam Taxy, Julie Samuels and William Adams of the Urban Institute conducted a study of Drug Offenders in Federal Prison to estimate offender characteristics.

Their 2015 study used data regarding the federal prison population in 2012, along with sentencing information from the United States Sentencing Commission.

Most (99.5 percent) of the 94,678 drug offenders (all drug offenders, not just those for marijuana) included in the 2012 dataset were in prison for drug trafficking offenses, while some were incarcerated for possession and other drug offenses.

 The major findings of the study had little to do with marijuana.

For more than half (54 percent) of the drug offenders in federal prison, the primary drug involved in their crime was cocaine. Blacks accounted for 88 percent of crack cocaine offenders, while Hispanics accounted for 54 percent of powder cocaine offenders. Whites accounted for 48 percent of methamphetamine offenders.

Just over a third of all drug offenders in federal prison (35 percent) had no prior criminal history.

About one-fourth (24 percent) of drug offenders in federal prison used a weapon in their offense.

The average prison sentence was more than 11 years.

Crack cocaine offenders were most likely to have an extensive criminal history (40 percent), used a weapon (32 percent) and received the longest prison term (170 months).

Where does marijuana fit into this?

Of the offenders in federal prison in 2012, the primary drug type of offense was crack cocaine for 28.4 percent of them, powder cocaine for 25.8 percent, methamphetamine for 23.7 percent and marijuana for 12.4 percent. Heroin accounted for 6.2 percent of federal drug offenders in prison, and 3.5 percent were in prison for other drugs, such as pharmaceuticals or MDMA.

So, in sheer numbers, there were 11,533 federal cannabis prisoners in 2012.

Almost all (93.6 percent) of the federal marijuana offenders were male.

In terms of race, 59 percent were Hispanic, 24 percent were white and 13.9 percent were Black. In terms of age, 1.9 percent were 18 to 19 years old, 25.7 percent were in their twenties, 35.9 percent were in their thirties and 40.6 percent were 40 or older. Also, 34.7 percent of federal cannabis prisoners were not U.S. citizens.

While 34.5 percent of all drug offenders in federal prison had no criminal history, this was true for 44.3 percent of marijuana offenders in federal prison. Marijuana offenders also had to lowest likelihood of having a gun involved in their offense, only 15.2 percent compared to 21.9 percent of powder cocaine offenders, 32 percent of crack cocaine offenders, 17.3 percent of heroin offenders and 25.5 percent of methamphetamine offenders.

Federal cannabis offenders also had the shortest prison sentences—on average, about seven years (88 months), with the most common sentence being five years (60 months).

According to the report “a majority of marijuana offenders received a sentence of more than 1 year up to and including 5 years in prison.”

For crack cocaine offenders, the average sentence was more than 14 years (170 months).

However, 25.8 percent of marijuana offenders had sentences of five to 10 years, 16.2 percent had sentences of 10 to 20 years and 5.8 percent had sentences of 20 years or more.

These federal cannabis prisoners are often the forgotten casualties of the War on Drugs, in general, and marijuana prohibition in particular.

The political debate over marijuana reform, whether in terms of decriminalization or legalization, is often focused on the users of cannabis and the injustice of jail terms for individual users with small amounts of marijuana.

Yet, the aggregate demand for cannabis created by tens of millions of users attracts people to the market. In the illegal market, marijuana use creates marijuana sales. The entrepreneurs who grow, distribute and sell cannabis are a diverse lot, some with appealing characteristics and others simply in the business to make money.

Like any business, the marijuana trade has its share of heroes and villains, a characterization that varies with someone’s point of view. The public condemns drug dealers. Marijuana users condemn profiteers.

But people’s opinions of the marijuana trade are irrelevant.

What is relevant is that marijuana use under prohibition creates a tremendous variety of costs, and one of them is the incarceration of ten to twelve thousand people in federal prison whose crime was succumbing to the profitable temptations created by federal prohibition laws.

New Post has been published on Mortgage News

New Post has been published on http://bit.ly/2wBX1G8

Should you use your child to get credit?

(iStock)

I’ve heard it all. Or so I thought.

I’ve seen adult children in tears because they found out — after pulling their credit reports — that a parent had used their information to get credit cards or had put utility and cellphone bills in their name.

Then this week, I read a question to real estate experts Ilyce Glink and Samuel J. Tamkin.

A parent, with bad credit, wanted to know if it was wise to get a home loan in her 17-year-old’s name.

The background: The mother lost her home to a foreclosure. She’s renting now but estimates with the low interest rate environment she could get another home loan and save on her housing costs.

“The rent is high in Chicago where I live,” she wrote. “If I bought another house and got a mortgage, that would save me $300 a month, which would allow me to pay my debt and get my credit back together.”

She wanted to know if this was a good strategy.

Glink and Tamkin’s advice was measured and right on the money. They didn’t berate the mother for this monumentally bad idea and of course pointed out the teenager is too young to be able to get a mortgage.

But can I address the irresponsible, selfish motive behind the question?

I get that this mother may be stressed and frustrated with her financial situation. Still, why would she want to pull her child into her money mess?

Let’s say she waited until he turned 18 and maybe – although highly unlikely – he could qualify for a home loan, why would she put that much financial pressure on him? She would be dragging him into her financial world at the start of his adult life.

There’s just so much wrong with her even asking the question.

Yet, I see this type of thing far too often. I’ll never forget the tears streaming down the face of a young man who discovered his mother had put so much credit in his name that he couldn’t qualify for a student loan to attend college. He had only found out about the years of fraud as I was working with him to figure out why his credit history was so bad.

And what was worse, the only way he could get out from under the debt was to file a police report. I told him he should.

He couldn’t.

So this young man resigned himself to work two jobs to dig out of debt he never accumulated. And his mother wasn’t even remorseful. She felt entitled to use his name to get the credit she wanted. And, I’d like to point out, a lot of the debt wasn’t for necessities.

The mother asking the mortgage question may not have planned to commit identity theft. Her son might have agreed to go along with her plan. But the very idea would be stealing away her child’s financial peace so she could get credit. Having a mortgage is no joke and could prevent him from getting his own home loan when the time comes, especially if his mother’s financial situation doesn’t improve and he doesn’t pay the mortgage as they might have agreed.

Does it need to be said that you shouldn’t use your children to get credit or to dig yourself out of a financial hole?

I asked a question that I already know the answer to based on my own experience with broke and broken people.

Yes, it needs to be said.

Don’t use your children to get credit.

Here’s some more reading on this issue. — Parents Are Ruining their Children’s Credit through Identity Theft

— My mother spent thousands of dollars on credit cards opened in my name — should I report her?

— My mother stole my identity and racked up $500,000 in debt

Old and outdated FICO credit scores here to stay at least until 2019 Credit scoring needs an uplift, but Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac won’t be giving them a facelift. As the Post’s Kenneth R. Harney reported this week, there will be no modernization of the controversial scoring systems before mid-2019 at the earliest.

Anybody who has borrowed knows how important his or her credit score is in the lending process. A high score can lead to a better loan deal, meaning a lower interest rate. Score poorly and you pay much more for the money you borrow.

FICO, formerly known as Fair Isaac Co., created the credit modeling system used by most lenders. Scores range from 300 to 850 and the higher the score, the better.

Many consumer advocates have complained that older FICO models don’t fairly assess a borrower’s creditworthiness.

“Fannie’s and Freddie’s models date to the early years of the past decade and have long been superseded by versions that are more consumer-friendly,” Harney wrote. “For example, the latest FICO model ignores score-depressing items found in many consumers’ credit files such as paid-off collections, and it is more lenient on medical bill collection accounts.”

Here’s why we need an update, Harney points out. “One major competitor to FICO, VantageScore Solutions, offers a model that claims to score more than 30 million consumers who are ‘unscoreable,’ or invisible to older FICO models, because these people have only minimal data on file at the credit bureaus. VantageScore says that if added to Fannie’s and Freddie’s menus, its model could ‘expand mortgage lending to Hispanics and African Americans to purchase homes by 16 percent.’”

So what’s standing in the way of the move to a more modern version of FICO?

You know it is about the money.

Companies would have to abandon the old scoring model to purchase an upgraded version. Isn’t it always the consumer who pays when government or business won’t do the right thing?

If you want change let Congress hear your voice. Read this: Bipartisan Senate bill would require Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac to use alternative credit scores

Dow 22,000 milestone isn’t so great for bargain shoppers

The Dow Jones industrial average passed the 22,000 mark for the first time last week. And it was big news.

What’s behind the Dow’s stunning rise to 22,000

For a fun and financially geeky look at the Dow numbers you have to read Allan Sloan’s column from last week: The Dow is back at it. Let’s have some fun with numbers.

I wondered what readers thought of the Dow 22,000 benchmark. So I asked: Do you think the stock market is too hot? Are you concerned about a crash?

Nearly half of America doesn’t benefit from Dow 22,000

Adam Watson of Hyattsville, Md., wrote, “Unless you work in finance, the Dow Jones industrial average doesn’t matter! For most of us, there are more relevant concerns much closer to home — whether to hire out that back yard landscaping job or put in a few weekends of backbreaking work, how to cut down the dining-out expenditures, how to max out a 401(k), whether it’s better to save in an IRA or a Roth IRA. My sole concern about a soaring market is sticking to my allocation plan and rebalancing assets between stocks and bonds as appropriate. I’ll happily admit that retirement savings in the market look really nice on paper, but it will only truly matter when we eventually flip the switch to RETIRED and start drawing down from it.”

“I’m very concerned about the stock market, particularly for my aging parents, one of whom is in cognitive decline and may need long-term care at some point,” wrote Tracy from Washington, D.C. “They just pulled some money out and put it in a three-year CD with a 1.9 percent interest rate. Not sure where else to put it.”

How Inflation Eats Away at Your Retirement

Thomas J. Druitt of Paducah, Ky., wrote, “I am not concerned about a crash, at least not through the balance of 2017 and probably not through all of 2018 either. Longer-term 401(k) plan investors should have no such concerns. Even if the Dow Industrial Average fell by 20 percent between [the] 22,000 mark and the long-term up-trend line, the U.S. stock market would still be in a very powerful long-term upward price trend.”

“The Dow hitting 22,000 is pretty meaningless unless you own the 30 stocks that comprise the Dow,” wrote Clyde Kluge, Oklahoma City, Okla. “I have not looked at the performance of the 30 individual stocks over the last six months but what I have been reading is the current run-up in the Dow has been driven by 2 stocks: Boeing and Apple. Am I worried? Not really. Over the long term the stock market has shown about a 10 percent per year growth. There are going to be bad times but as you point out the fire sale is a great time to buy. Is it too late to invest? No. Investing is like any project. You are never going to reach your goal until you start.”
