The claim of 'dangerous product' was also addressed in the NSW Court of Appeal in Mehta v Commonwealth Bank of Australia by Justice Roderick Meagher, who said:
A foreign currency loan is largely a gamble; consequently, it would be unattractive to the timid and the prudent. Nonetheless, there are perfectly rational people who are prepared to gamble; and it is notorious that many borrowers did enter into such transactions at the time without suffering any damage, some of whom actually made a profit. All the experts agreed that it was reasonable for an informed borrower to enter into such transactions. One cannot but have an uneasy feeling that a dogmatic view that such loans are necessarily irrational will lead to the imposition of liability on lenders where justice does not require it.

tired manager!Nanami x kpop idol!reader
He’s sick, absolutely sick of you. In all his underpaid overworked years as an idol manager, he’s never seen one as impossible as you. 
You’re the centre, lead singer, and the most popular member of your girl group ‘R0ck-Chic’. The princess of K-Pop. Ranked Top10 on Billboard and Melon, brand ambassador for Chanel. Photocards for $1500 retail. Face straight out of a manhwa, bubblegum-sweetheart personality, born a musical genius too!
But that’s just on camera.  
“Prissy bitch.”
Nanami keeps his thoughts to himself. He’s doubling as a bodyguard-cum-manager for your M-Net Music Show, watching you yell at your hairstylist backstage. She accidentally burned a piece of your hair extensions off, but hey, it was a fucking accident! The poor lady is nearly in tears at your cruel words. No one really likes working with you, not your staff, not the other members of your group, because underneath the EstĂ©e Lauder Double Wear foundation is a secret none of your massive fanbase knows: You’re a cunt. 
“Nanami-san!” At least you’re still calling him with honorifics, even though he’s cringing thinking about what harsh command your majesty shall bark at him. “God, Nanami-san, where the fuck are you? When’s our show going to begin? Can’t get on stage in time, can’t get my makeup done on time-” You cast an evil look at the makeup-artist, who promptly bursts into tears too. “- I’m surrounded by useless trashcans!”
Miwa, the leader of R0ck-Chic, hesitantly tries to calm you down. “Ah, yn, it’s ok, they’re setting up the stage right now so–”
“– I believe it’s prudent to look at the other groups’ rehearsals and analyse the competition, miss.” Nanami steps in. He really hates his job, having to babysit the most spoilt celeb on the planet. When he speaks, he means it to everyone around you. “Let’s all use this time to the fullest, yes?” 
(Later on he’d go and apologise to the people you brought to tears. Not that he’s under any obligation to do so, he’s simply a gentleman like that. And maybe he cares about your reputation.)
You grumble, taking the ice-chips that Nanami offers you. It’s hard to be angry with diet-abiding ice-chips in your mouth. “Don’t need to ‘analyse’ any stupid competition. R0ck-Chic has me, and I’m the best.” 
The fucking audacity, Nanami cringes. And she’s not even wrong. That’s the worst part. 
You kill it on stage that night. Broadcasted live, the TV ratings spike immediately when you come on screen, bootleg solo fancams flooding Twitter and your ending fairy goes viral. The photocard prices jump up to $2000. 
There’ll be stalkers tonight following the car. I’ll have to drive through the offside path. Nanami took all the security measures that any manager worth their salt would.
Only he didn’t account for how crazy your stalkers would get tonight in particular. Even the offside has large unmarked SUVs, waiting to trail your car to a standstill. Sasaengs.
You’re in your sweatpants, performance makeup off, texting away inside the car that Nanami is driving right now, clearly no idea of how much danger you’re in. A fan would simply take your autograph and leave happily. Sasaengs, especially ones of this calibre, would stab you. At least she’s not screaming. Yet. 
He’s very correct. Because the moment that he tells you that you’ll have to stay in the dance studio tonight (can’t risk leaking the group dorm location to the stalkers), screaming is exactly what you do. 
“You promised I’d go home!” You stamp your feet on the ground, chuck your phone at him, throwing a proper fit. “I’m sick of you stupid fuckers ruining everything! Everyone is dogshit here!” The regular migraine that comes after dinner-time drives nails into Nanani’s temple. “Nanami-san, you dumb fucking gasbag! I’m tired! I-WANT-TO-GO-HOME!”
“SO-DO-I!”
Both you and Nanami are shocked silent. No one has ever talked back to you since you became famous, and you became famous at the age of 5. It’s weird. It’s interesting. 
Poor Nanami-san now has to deal with all the drama you cause as well as this new problem: you might be growing a teeny weeny crush on him.  
Bonus: you have to buy a new phone. stop throwing phones.

Bratty Heiress Mikasa & Daddy's right Hand Eren like:
Bratty Mikasa, the little terror of her father's law firm, constantly barges into the workplace with trays of cookies, juices, and whatever else she thinks will make the long hours easier for her dad's overworked employees. But a menace? Hardly. The real problem, at least in Eren’s eyes, is that Mikasa isn’t just being sweet—she’s being a total nuisance, disrupting the order of things with her relentless cheer. To everyone else, she's a welcome distraction; to Eren, though, she’s nothing short of a brat.
Mikasa struts around the office in micro skirts, flashing smiles at everyone and being a little too nice for Eren's liking. It stirs something in him—an ugly, possessive jealousy he knows he shouldn’t feel, especially since she’s the boss’s daughter. But Mikasa, with her innocent obliviousness, seems unaware of the signals she’s sending. She doesn’t notice how her sweetness and charm are giving the wrong ideas to some of the other men in the office who have started thinking with their pants instead of their heads. Eren can’t stand it, but what can he do? Taking care from prudent distance, that is.
So Eren endures her constant presence, keeping a watchful eye from his desk as she flits around the office, waiting for the moment when all the other men have left. Only then, when she’s no longer at risk of any unwanted attention, does he allow himself to relax. He stays late, long after the others have gone, lingering in the office until he’s the last one standing. He tells himself it’s to protect her, but the truth is, he’s willingly doing unpaid overtime just to make sure Mikasa is safe, even if she doesn’t realise it.
And gosh! That little beast doesn’t realise nor thank him for it. Indeed, she does what she always do: be a little spoiled brat.
“Ereeeeeeen,” she purrs, her voice low. “Why haven’t you gone home yet, Eren?”
The law firm is quiet, almost eerily so, with just the two of them and her father, who’s locked away in his office, buried in paperwork. It might as well be just the two of them, the empty halls amplifying the tension between them. Eren looks up, and for a moment, he wonders if she knows exactly why he hasn’t left.
But the moment Eren looks at her, he almost regrets it. Mikasa, ever the little brat, saunters over and perches herself right on his desk. Her short skirt fans out around her, and he can’t help but notice how her bare thighs and the edge of her panties are now brushing against the polished wood of HIS desk. Eren feels a wave of panic and something else—something dangerously close to desire—washing over him. He wants to die.
“I was just about to leave, Mikasa,” he says, struggling to keep his voice steady as he forces himself to look anywhere but at her. Just a little longer, he thinks, and she might rub her slit against the edge of the desk. The thought makes his heart pound, but he pushes it away, clinging to his last shred of composure. “Lots of paperwork, you know,” he adds, hoping to steer the conversation back to safer ground, even as his thoughts run wild.
Mikasa doesn’t move, her gaze locked on him with a curious glint in her eyes. “Paperwork, huh?” she murmurs, leaning towards him. The motion only draws his attention to the way her skirt rides up a little higher, and Eren’s grip on his pen tightens.
“Yeah,” he manages, voice tight. “Endless, really.”
She lets out a soft laugh, her eyes never leaving his. “You must be exhausted. All that work, staying late
 all alone.” Her words are innocent enough, but there’s something in the way she says them that makes his stomach twist—a sensation he feel slowly going down till it reaches his groin. Oh, fuck.
He forces a smile, trying to hide how much her presence is affecting him. “It’s part of the job. Gotta make sure everything’s in order.” His eyes flicker to the door, hoping her father might suddenly reappear, but the office remains silent.
Mikasa tilts her head, still watching him with that same, unreadable expression. “You’re such a hard worker, Eren. It’s no wonder my father trusts you so much.”
There’s a beat of silence, and then she shifts, her leg brushing against his hand as she adjusts her position. Eren’s breath hitches, and he quickly pulls his hand back, feeling the heat rise in his face. He needs to get out of here, needs to put some distance between them before he loses his control.
“Yeah, well, I should probably head out,” he says, pushing back his chair and standing up a little too quickly.
“So soon?” She dares to ask innocently. “I have to stay a little longer because, oh, you see, daddy isn’t done yet. Are you sure you don't want to stay a little longer?”
Eren gulps, his throat dry as the thought of staying pulls at him with a fierce intensity. Of course he wants to stay—more than anything. He imagines grabbing her, leaning her over that very desk, and teaching her a lesson she wouldn’t soon forget. The idea alone makes his blood boil, the thought of her breathless and submissive beneath him.
But he can’t. He knows he can’t. She’s his boss’s daughter, untouchable in every sense of the word, and the consequences would be catastrophic. He forces himself to keep walking, each step away from her a battle against his own desires. If he doesn’t leave now, he might do something reckless—something unforgivable.
So, defeated, all he can say is, “It’s late.”
Mikasa finally moves, standing as well, though she lingers just a moment longer, her gaze trailing over him in a way that makes his skin prickle. “Goodnight, Eren,” she says softly, the corners of her lips quirking up into a small, knowing smile.
Eren swallows hard, forcing a nod as he gathers his things, desperately trying to ignore the way his heart is racing. “Goodnight, Mikasa.” He turns to leave, but even as he walks away, he can still feel the heat of her gaze on his back, and it takes everything in him not to look back.

My safe families coach (caseworker equivalent) is going to call me today to discuss the details of someone else taking Deshaun. I feel so guilty and inadequate not to be able to finish out his hosting but I can’t figure out a way to. I’m sick and not getting enough sleep, to the point that I felt lightheaded and dizzy last night, but I could grit my teeth and make it through that for 2 more weeks. The problem is work. He’s not allowed back to daycare until he tests negative and is symptom free for 5 days. That’s totally reasonable from daycare’s perspective, but he’s still coughing and very snotty so I suspect it will be many days until he meets that criteria. And while hes home I can only half-work. He needs constant access to me. I’m wearing him in the carrier for many hours each day, but he won’t accept that all day and the rest of the time he has to be near me, climbing all over my lap. If I ignore him he cries. If I try to type, he grabs at the laptop. I can take some calls, but it’s a crapshoot what his mood will be like. Yesterday I had an important external call that I had to take off camera and mic, listening to someone else explain my work while Deshaun screamed in the background.
My job has been incredibly flexible and supportive but it’s been a week (we tested positive last Thursday night) and I don’t want to push it. Right now is busy for me also — I’m leading an important project with a firm deadline based on external factors we can’t change, and it’s already behind schedule. If I don’t finish my pieces of it within the next 1-2 weeks, it won’t happen in time.
There’s just no slack. If daycare is out as the childcare option, there’s nothing left. No partner to trade off childcare with. I’m not allowed to hire a babysitter (safe families would require them to be certified, there’s no prudent parenting standard), and even if I was I can’t imagine finding someone who’d risk getting sick, and even if I could I couldn’t afford it. I have family in the area, but nobody who’d volunteer to babysit a sick child while I work. (Mostly when I hear about people with that kind of family support it’s from their mom, and my mom is dead.)
What am I missing? I know single parents exist and manage sick kids. Do they accept the need to take significant PTO and the limits that places on their ability to perform at work? Do they accept getting no sleep so they can catch up on work after the baby is asleep? I guess if I was truly committed I’d do some combination of those things. Am I a terrible person because I’m not willing to? (I should also say — my job is really important to me. I work for a nonprofit doing the most important work I can think of. In terms of helping people, my job does that more than hosting does. And, I’m in my early career and I want to build my reputation as a top performer. I know there are different considerations for different people.)
Of the three hostings I’ve done that involved daycare, all three have had kids home unexpectedly. Charlie was home for a day and played independently and it went fine. Bella was home for 7 consecutive work days and it wasn’t great, but she watched a lot of Barbie Dreamtopia and we muddled through. Now with Deshaun, today is the 5th consecutive work day (one day off and then 4 days working while also caring for him). Is that level of daytime childcare need typical in yalls experience? If I’m not able to manage it, does that mean I’m not cut out for hosting and should stop doing it?

Evaluating the Concerns and Potential Extremism of Project 2025
This far-right, extremist agenda is a threat to a multiracial, diverse democracy
Introduction
Project 2025 has garnered significant attention and sparked debate among various stakeholders. This analysis aims to explore the reasons why some individuals and groups express apprehension about the project and to evaluate whether these concerns are deemed extreme. Additionally, this discourse will consider potential modifications to address these concerns  and Perceptions of Extremism
Scope and Ambition
 Project 2025 has been widely viewed as ambitiously forward-thinking. While some express concerns about its comprehensive scope possibly causing unforeseen disruptions to current systems, critics suggest these challenges are natural in pioneering endeavors. The project's magnitude naturally provokes apprehensions regarding its feasibility and long-term sustainability. However, such bold initiatives are essential to drive innovation and address pressing global challenges. By carefully navigating potential pitfalls and leveraging comprehensive planning, Project 2025 can emerge as a transformative force for progress, laying a robust foundation for a sustainable future.
Political and Social Implications
The project's political and social ramifications are pivotal concerns. Detractors argue it could bring about sweeping alterations to societal norms and governance, potentially marginalizing specific demographics. These transformative shifts are frequently perceived as revolutionary, thereby evoking apprehensions about its radical nature. Such apprehensions underscore the need for a careful examination of its potential impact on inclusivity and social cohesion. It is imperative to navigate these concerns with a balanced approach that ensures equitable outcomes and fosters constructive dialogue about the project's goals and implications for a harmonious society.
Economic Impact
Concerns abound regarding the economic repercussions of Project 2025. Critics contend that the necessary financial resources might overburden public finances, potentially necessitating higher taxes or diverting funds from essential sectors. Such economic uncertainties are seen as fueling perceptions of radicalism. It is crucial to address these apprehensions through careful planning and transparent communication about the project's long-term benefits. By emphasizing strategic economic growth and prudent resource management, we can mitigate fears and build consensus on the project's potential to foster sustainable development and economic stability. This approach ensures that Project 2025 is viewed not as a risk, but as a catalyst for positive change.
Technological and Ethical Concerns
The integration of advanced technologies in Project 2025 raises significant ethical and privacy concerns, making it a contentious initiative. The potential for surveillance, data misuse, and erosion of individual freedoms stokes widespread fears. As we embrace these technologies, we must address the ethical implications to safeguard privacy and uphold fundamental rights. Ensuring transparent and responsible use of data can alleviate concerns and foster trust. By prioritizing ethical considerations, Project 2025 can become a beacon of innovation that respects privacy and individual freedoms, turning a potential threat into an opportunity for responsible technological advancement.
Potential for Adaptation
To mitigate the perceived extremism of Project 2025 and address the apprehensions, the following adaptations could be considered:
Incremental Implementation
Adopting a phased approach to project implementation offers the opportunity for continuous assessment and refinement at each stage. This strategy not only facilitates better risk management but also mitigates concerns about abrupt changes. By breaking down the project into manageable phases, we can identify and address issues promptly, ensuring smoother transitions and more effective solutions. This method fosters a more controlled and adaptable environment, increasing the likelihood of success while minimizing disruption. Embracing this incremental approach will ultimately lead to more sustainable and positive outcomes for the entire team.
Transparent Communication
Improving transparency regarding the project’s objectives, procedures, and potential outcomes is crucial for fostering public trust. Engaging openly with stakeholders and employing effective communication strategies are essential steps in combating misinformation and alleviating concerns. By clearly articulating our goals and methods, we can establish credibility and reassure the community about the project’s positive impacts. Emphasizing these aspects not only enhances understanding but also cultivates a supportive environment where informed decisions can be made collaboratively. This approach ensures that all parties are well-informed and aligned, promoting a constructive dialogue that strengthens confidence and minimizes uncertainties.
Ethical Guidelines and Oversight
Implementing stringent ethical guidelines and independent oversight mechanisms effectively addresses worries regarding privacy and data security. Prioritizing ethical considerations not only safeguards sensitive information but also cultivates trust and support from the public. By adhering to these principles, we demonstrate our commitment to transparency and accountability, fostering a climate where individuals feel secure and valued. This approach not only mitigates risks but also enhances our credibility, ensuring that our practices align with the highest standards of integrity and responsibility. Ultimately, integrating robust ethical frameworks is pivotal in garnering widespread endorsement and maintaining ethical leadership in data management.
Economic Safeguards
Implementing economic safeguards is crucial to shield vulnerable groups and promote fair resource allocation, alleviating concerns about financial burdens. Transparent budgeting and stringent financial accountability are indispensable in fostering trust and ensuring equitable distribution of resources. By instituting these measures, we not only protect the most vulnerable but also uphold principles of fairness and responsibility. This proactive approach not only mitigates fears of economic strain but also lays the foundation for a sustainable and inclusive economic framework that benefits all segments of society.
Conclusion
Project 2025’s ambitious nature and potential for significant societal impact inevitably lead to concerns about its extremism. By understanding these apprehensions and considering adaptive strategies, it is possible to address the fears and work towards a more balanced and acceptable implementation. Engaging with stakeholders, ensuring transparency, and prioritizing ethical considerations are critical steps in this

Mastering the Art of Investing: Practical Strategies for Insightful Decision-Making
Key Point:
Making smart and insightful investment decisions is an attainable goal with the right strategies in place. By recognizing your limitations, managing emotions, seeking professional guidance, and aligning your investments with personal objectives, you can cultivate a robust and successful investment portfolio that stands the test of time.
Sound investment decisions are the bedrock of financial success. However, navigating the complex world of investing can be challenging, even for the most seasoned investors. This post explores practical strategies for making smart and insightful investment decisions, empowering you to grow your wealth with confidence and finesse.
Recognize the Limits of your Abilities
In both life and investing, it is crucial to acknowledge the boundaries of our expertise. Overestimating our abilities can lead to ill-advised decisions and, ultimately, financial losses. By cultivating humility and seeking external guidance when necessary, we can minimize risks and make more informed investment choices.
Manage Emotional Influence on Decision-Making
Emotions can significantly impact our ability to make rational decisions. To circumvent the sway of emotions, adopt a disciplined approach to investing, relying on data-driven analysis and long-term strategies rather than succumbing to impulsive reactions.
Leverage the Expertise of an Advisor
Engaging a professional financial advisor is a prudent investment decision. Their wealth of knowledge and experience can help you navigate market complexities and identify opportunities tailored to your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon.
Maintain Composure Amidst Market Volatility
Periods of market turbulence can incite panic among investors. However, it is essential to remain level-headed and maintain a long-term perspective during such times. Avoid making impulsive decisions based on short-term fluctuations and focus on your overarching financial objectives.
Assess Company Management Actions Over Rhetoric
When evaluating potential investments, examine the actions of a company's management rather than relying solely on their statements. This approach ensures a more accurate understanding of the organization's performance, financial health, and growth prospects.
Prioritize Value Over Glamour in Investment Selection
The most expensive investment options are not always the wisest choices. Focus on identifying value rather than being swayed by glamorous or high-priced options. This strategy promotes long-term financial growth and mitigates the risk of overpaying for underperforming assets.
Exercise Caution with Novel and Exotic Investments
While unique and exotic investment opportunities may appear enticing, approach them with caution. Ensure thorough research and due diligence before committing to such investments, as they may carry higher risks and potential pitfalls.
Align Investments with Personal Goals
Invest according to your individual objectives rather than adhering to generic rules or mimicking the choices of others. Personalized investment strategies are more likely to yield favorable results, as they account for your unique financial circumstances, risk appetite, and long-term aspirations.
Making smart and insightful investment decisions is an attainable goal with the right strategies in place. By recognizing your limitations, managing emotions, seeking professional guidance, and aligning your investments with personal objectives, you can cultivate a robust and successful investment portfolio that stands the test of time.
Action plan: Learn a few simple rules and ignore the rest of the advice you receive. 
It’s easy to become completely overwhelmed by the volume of advice available about investing. However, you don’t need to become an expert on the stock market in order to become a good investor. 
Just like an amateur poker player can go far if he simply learns to fold his worst hands and bet on his best ones, a novice investor can become very competent just by following a few simple rules. For example, he should learn not to overreact to dips in the market and make sure to purchase value stocks instead of glamour stocks.

Which Small-Cap Funds Are Holding the Largest Cash Positions?
 When it comes to investing in small-cap mutual funds, one of the savvy investors often examine is the amount of cash reserves held by the fund. High cash reserves can provide a cushion during fluctuating markets, allowing fund managers to grab opportunities
as they protect or arise against downturns. small-cap funds, which typically invest in smaller companies with higher growth potential, are often more changing than large-cap funds, making the management of cash even more critical.
In this article, We will know the small-cap mutual funds that are currently holding substantial cash reserves.
Why Cash Reserves Matter in Small-Cap Funds.
Cash reserves are a vital component in a fund's strategy, especially in the small-cap sector. Small-cap stocks are known for their potential to generate higher returns, but they can also experience significant price swings due to market volatility or changes in investor sentiment. When a small-cap fund has a healthy amount of cash on hand, the fund manager can make tactical decisions during market downturns. For instance, they may choose to invest in undervalued stocks or wait for better market conditions before deploying more capital. Conversely, too little cash can expose the fund to liquidity risks, forcing managers to sell off assets at less-than-ideal prices.
Top Small-Cap Funds with Significant Cash Holdings
 While many small-cap mutual funds are fully invested inequities, some maintain higher cash positions to balance risk and take advantage of future buying opportunities. Below are a few small-cap mutual funds known for their prudent cash management strategies:
1. XYZ Small-Cap Growth Fund
   This fund is known for its cautious approach, with nearly 15% of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. The fund's managers believe in holding cash during periods of market uncertainty, allowing them to take advantage of attractive stock valuations when the opportunity arises.
2.  ABC Small-Cap Value Fund
   A veteran in the small-cap space, ABC Small-Cap Value Fund has maintained approximately 12% of its portfolio in cash. This strategy helps it mitigate the risks associated with investing in small, volatile companies, especially during economic downturns.
3. 123 Small-Cap Dividend Fund
   While typically focused on smaller companies that pay dividends, this fund also keeps a significant portion of its assets in cash—around 10%. The fund manager uses this cash to navigate market turbulence and seek out dividend-paying companies with strong growth prospects.
4. PQR Small-Cap Aggressive Fund  
   Known for its more aggressive investment style, PQR still holds about 8% of its assets in cash, particularly as a buffer against unexpected market swings. This allows the fund manager to pivot quickly in response to changing market conditions while maintaining a focus on high-growth small-cap stocks.
While cash reserves may not always lead to short-term gains, they offer fund managers flexibility and security during uncertain times. For investors who prioritize risk management, choosing small-cap mutual funds with significant cash holdings can be a wise move. These funds are better equipped to navigate volatile markets and capitalize on opportunities as they arise. Always consider a fund’s overall strategy and investment philosophy before making your investment decision.

MANAGING YOUR FINANCES
A Comprehensive Guide to Saving Money and Sticking to a Budget
Saving money and adhering to a budget can be challenging for many individuals. It demands significant discipline and commitment. Often, the most daunting aspect of saving is simply getting started. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to develop a straightforward and realistic strategy for saving towards both short-term and long-term goals, whether it’s purchasing a house, buying a car, or fulfilling a lifelong dream of traveling the world. By prioritizing essential expenses and cutting out non-essentials, you can achieve your financial objectives. Here are some effective tips to help you manage your finances. .... Get an affordable auto insurance cover clik here https://tmtrcks.com/238479/186
Tip 1: Track Your Expenses
The initial step in saving money is to understand your spending habits. Keep a detailed record of all expenses, including small purchases like coffee and household items, in addition to regular monthly bills. You can use methods that suit you best, such as a notebook, a spreadsheet, or an online spending tracker. After compiling your data, categorize your expenses—such as gas, groceries, and housing—and calculate thee
Tip 2: Include Savings in Your Budget
With a clear understanding of your monthly expenses, you can create a budget that reflects your income and expenditures. This budget should enable you to plan your spending and minimize overspending. Remember to include irregular expenses, such as car maintenance. Allocate a specific amount for savings, starting with an amount that feels manageable. Gradually aim to increase your savings to 15-20% of your income.
Tip 3: Cut Back on Spending
If you find it challenging to save as much as you’d like, it may be time to reassess your expenses. Identify non-essential items, such as entertainment and dining out, where you can cut back. Additionally, explore options to reduce fixed monthly costs, like car insurance or cell phone plans. Implementing small changes in your daily spending can lead to significant savings over time.
Tip 4: Set Savings Goals
Establishing clear savings goals can be a powerful motivator. Consider what you wish to save for in both the short term (one to three years) and the long term (four years or more). Estimate the amount needed and the timeframe to reach those goals. This clarity will help you stay focused and disciplined in your savings efforts.
Tip 5: Determine Your Financial Priorities
Your financial goals will significantly influence how you allocate your savings. For instance, if you anticipate needing a new car soon, it’s prudent to start saving for it now. However, don’t lose sight of long-term goals like retirement. Prioritizing your savings objectives will help you distribute your resources effectively and ensure that all important financial needs are addressed.
Tip 6: Choose the Right Tools
Various savings and investment accounts can help you achieve both short-term and long-term goals. You don’t have to limit yourself to a single option. Carefully evaluate account features such as balance minimums, fees, interest rates, and risk levels. This will enable you to select a combination of tools that best suits your savings objectives.
Short-term Goals
For immediate access to funds, consider FDIC-insured deposit accounts like:
-Savings Accounts .Easy access to your money.
- Certificates of Deposit (CDs) Typically offer higher interest rates in exchange for locking your funds for a set period.
Long-term Goals
For future needs, such as retirement or education, consider:
IRAs or 529 Plans Tax-efficient savings accounts.
Securities Stocks or mutual funds accessible through brokerage accounts.
Tip 7: Automate Your Savings
Most banks provide automated transfer options between checking and savings accounts. You can decide when and how much to transfer, or even set up your direct deposit to allocate a portion of your paycheck directly into savings. This automation reduces the temptation to spend and simplifies the saving process. Additionally, consider using credit card rewards or spare change programs that round up purchases and deposit the difference into a savings account.

Ulterior Motives - @artilaz
Tumblr media
For the delightful @artilaz, who has been patient and truly inspiring to work with. Thank you so much, my lovely!
Ulterior Motives
Laughter rang through the clearing, two voices joined in shared amusement at some private joke that bit at his heart.
Tristan ... and Wyll. Enjoying time alone, together.
Gale paused in his foraging as a wave of bitterness swept through his heart. How had this happened again? How had he thought to find some love that would soothe and inspire him, only to have that prospective love ease away at the first sign of his, Gale’s, attachment to them? What had he done this time? Was he just impossible to grow close to, after so many years spent devoted to Mystra?
He stopped those thoughts firmly before they could spiral out of his control. No, he was not some new-formed pup with more eagerness than sense. This situation they had all found themselves in was one fraught with tension and no little danger, and there was no blame to be cast on those who sought to alleviate that tension with the comfort of finding a kindred soul among their companions. Wyll was a good man; he would treat Tristan well, show the young princeling the world and all its wonders with adventure and kindness and, above all else, love. But knowing that did not soothe the sting in his own heart as he contemplated the hopes he had held to be that guide and lover to Tristan Trevelyan, whose shy warmth and bold eyes had kindled feelings in the Gale Dekarios of old.
He sighed to himself, rising to his feet with his armful of herbs gathered from the shaded roots of the trees. Perhaps he was too old for Tristan. Perhaps he was too dour. Was he too talkative? Oh gods ... did he talk about Mystra too much? Tara had warned him that, if he ever met another love of his life, he should not mention his goddess too much. Did Tristan believe him still enamoured of Mystra? It would make sense. Who would take a risk with their heart on a man who could not, for the life of him, shut up about the woman who rejected him so thoroughly because he did not know when to quit?
There was a clue in there somewhere, he was sure. 
The murmur of the younger men’s voices reached him again, too distant to make out the words, and another laugh, this time solely from Tristan. The shy, awkward laugh that had wrapped itself around Gale’s heart with hope and joy. The laugh he had fooled himself into thinking belonged only to himself ...
“Pull yourself together, man,” he muttered, straightening his shoulders. “His heart is his own to give to whom he chooses. Who can blame him? It’s not much of a choice between a fine, handsome adventurer, and a washed up magician with a death sentence.”
Now, the thing to do would be to leave now and get back to the camp before the two men realised they were overheard or discovered. He would set to cooking the evening meal, and when everyone was settled, he would find a way to get Tristan alone and make sure the younger man knew that there were no hard feelings. 
Even if there were hard feelings, there was no need to hurt Tristan with them. He had already been through so much, fought so hard to just be accepted for who he was ... What right did Gale have to demand from him anything he was not wholly able to give? Gale, who had had everything handed to him and still managed to screw it up; did he even have the right to hope for the love of a man like Tristan, much less mourn when it did not come to pass?
But he had lingered too long; footsteps cracking over fallen twigs echoed into his mind, and he found himself looking up at the sight of Tristan and Wyll returning to the camp, retracing their steps along the same path he himself had chosen in foraging for herbs. The two men faltered in their stride, awkwardness flaring between all three as the silence stretched out. 
“Ah,” Wyll said finally, taking a prudent step away from Tristan’s side. “I will leave you both to what, I am sure, will be satisfying conversation.”
Gale watched as the warlock gave Tristan a look that seemed to hold stern yet affectionate meaning, as Tristan’s cheeks flushed just a little and his head ducked under the pointedness of that look. He didn’t watch Wyll walk away, his eyes returning to Tristan in the still forest silence that now enveloped them. 
A silence that lingered for too long, just as he had, stretching out the moments into seconds, into minutes, unwilling to break and have this be the last moment to share for themselves. 
Tristan raised a hand to his own neck, rubbing nervously as he opened his mouth. 
“Gale, I -”
“Please,” Gale interrupted, one hand rising to prevent those words as though by sheer will alone. “Don’t say it. It does not take a genius of any intellect to put the pieces together, and we both know I am somewhat overqualified to do that.”
“You don’t -”
“I wish you all the happiness in the world,” the wizard went on, not allowing the other man to speak, afraid that if Tristan were to say anything at all that he might embarrass himself further than he already had. “Wyll is a good man. He does not deserve you, but ... I venture to state that no one does. You are indescribable, Tristan. The one who earns your love is a lucky person indeed.” 
He sighed, unable to keep that one sigh of his disappointment from his little speech.
“I will trespass no further upon your emotions,” he promised, offering a firm nod as though to underline his intentions. “Happiness is not to be sniffed at, nor held back for the sake of another. Be happy, Tristan.”
What was that look on the younger man’s face now? Tristan was staring at him, azure eyes wide with ... disbelief? Incredulity? Pain? No, no, no, pain was the last thing Gale had wanted to give him. He’d thought that in stepping aside he would be seeing relief in Tristan’s eyes, perhaps even a smile on his handsome face. Not this near numbing uncertainty and wounded sweetness. 
“Are you ... breaking up with me?” Tristan finally said, the quiver in his voice tearing at the open wound in Gale’s.
“Sweet Mystra, no!” Gale lurched forward, one hand outstretched yet afraid to actually touch him. “No, I ... I thought you were ...” He gestured behind himself, along the trail Wyll had taken back to camp. “Are you and Wyll not lovers, then?”
Tristan stared a moment longer. Then incredulity gave way to laughter, relief, the warm sound Gale enjoyed so much employed now as almost a mockery to his confusion and upset. He must have shown that distress all too plainly, for Tristan was swift to swallow that laugh, reaching out to take Gale’s outstretched hand between his own. 
“Wyll is a dear friend,” he said, “but it is not Wyll I guard in battle, Gale. It is not Wyll’s company I seek out at every opportunity.”
“Yet the time you do seek with him is sought in private, away from others’ eyes,” Gale pointed out, perhaps a shade petulant in the wake of Tristan’s amusement. Hope was flaring in his chest, refusing to be swallowed by pragmatism no matter how hard he tried. 
“Well, he’s the only other person who knows how to dance the courtly dances,” Tristan said, and Gale felt a sudden sharp pang of idiocy threaten to stab him in his heart. Had he totally misread the situation? “You said you ... you said you liked to dance! And ... well ...” He let out a harsh sigh, more an expression of frustration than annoyance. “I am nowhere near good enough for this, yet.”
Gale felt a tug on his hand, his body lurching into a new position, shoulder to shoulder with Tristan, facing into the trees. Instinct drilled into him over many years of society gatherings drew his spine straight, raised his chin until he was looking into Tristan’s eyes, listening to the younger man count down to the first steps of a galliard, the energetic dance that Wyll seemed to prefer of an evening. Tristan’s hand belatedly caught hold of Gale’s as they began to move, feet flicking in time to a beat Gale knew by heart and Tristan seemed to hold somewhere in his head.
And Gale’s heart began to beat again.
There was little grace in Tristan’s movement, no practised elegance to smooth his steps. But the little frown between his brows as he focused fiercely on those steps, the mumble of his lips as he fought to keep both the beat and the steps in mind ... Gale could not help but melt. So much secrecy, so much misplaced hurt, simply because one of them wanted to give the other a surprise, and the other was too damned insecure to let him have his moments in private to deliver that surprise when he was ready. 
Yet for all his fierce concentration, his hands were sure and gentle as fingers gripped and twisted between Gale’s, each change of position and direction perfect as Gale could have wished for. Oh, he would have been laughed off the floor of any society ball in Waterdeep, but for Gale ... here and now, melting into the knowledge that Tristan’s ulterior motives had been entirely for his benefit, Gale could not imagine a more perfect dance than this. Even when toes were accidentally victimised by stray steps, or hands gripped tighter than necessary to prevent a fall, nothing could possibly have Gale’s heart soaring higher than the certainty that Tristan cared enough for him to learn something that so clearly did not come naturally. 
At the last stumble, he found himself laughing - not at, but with - hoping that the softness he could see in Tristan’s eyes was reflected in his own expression. For once, he did not want to be the wizard, but simply the man ... a man who was touched and moved, and needed to do something to prove his feelings now, once and for all. 
His fingers grazed Tristan’s jaw, a tender touch that wanted to convey so much more than just physical sweetness. 
“I am the greatest fool there ever was,” he admitted, wry humour quirking the corner of his smile as he drew the younger man’s brow to his own, inviting intimacy in the wake of something no one else had ever done for him. “Can you ever forgive me for my weakness?”
Tristan’s smile was audible even as Gale closed his eyes, feeling his lover’s hands find their resting place at his sides. 
“There’s nothing to forgive,” he murmured. “And for all your foolishness, you are my fool ... at least, I hope you are.”
“Oh, I am.” Gale’s laugh was a mere ghost of sound, unwilling to break the comfort of this one, special moment for anything in the world. “I will never question your ulterior motives again.”

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
By: Colin Wright
Published: Aug 28, 2023
One might think the fact that the medical establishment is endorsing and performing experimental, irreversible, and often sterilizing medical procedures on children would be an immense journalistic discovery. But a recent New York Times article—investigating allegations made by Jamie Reed, a former case manager at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital who blew the whistle on medical malpractice at the clinic traveling under the guise of “gender-affirming care”—downplays the results of that discovery in a way that privileges personal testimony over evidence.
Reed’s allegations were numerous. She claimed that the clinic was inundated with requests for transition services without adequate protocols to handle them, that patients were hastily approved for transitioning despite notable mental-health comorbidities, that individuals were not fully briefed on the risks and side effects of their prescribed medications, and that any opposition within the clinic was quelled. As Leor Sapir observes, the Times investigation corroborated most of Reed’s claims. A discerning reader who cuts through the article’s euphemisms and sidesteps the author’s political asides would discern as much.
Indeed, the newspaper of record has verified concerns that critics of “gender-affirming care” have raised for years. The current influx of trans-identified youth, primarily girls with no previous gender-related distress, symbolizes a fresh patient group exhibiting a new and as-yet-unstudied form of gender dysphoria. Gender-affirming care is experimental, with no long-term, rigorous studies demonstrating its advantages over the many obvious risks.
Yet throughout, the Times article alludes to the realities of pediatric gender medicine, while simultaneously obscuring them. Consider some representative quotes.
[A]ccording to an internal presentation from 2021, 73 percent of new patients were identified as girls at birth. Gender clinics in Western Europe, Canada and the United States have reported a similarly disproportionate sex skew that has bewildered clinicians.
Here, the Times concedes that the children currently fueling the unprecedented surge in gender-clinic referrals differ significantly from the group (natal males) that the original, ostensibly more cautious, “Dutch protocol” for pediatric sex-trait modification was intended to serve. As a Reuters investigation recently revealed, U.S. gender clinics aren’t adhering even to the Dutch approach. Instead, they’re adopting a less rigorous, highly medicalized “gender-affirming” model, which entails automatic social transition and on-demand puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries. Considering that this form of gender dysphoria is new and rapid, it would seem prudent to gather more data about its possible causes before offering medical interventions.
Pediatric gender medicine is a nascent specialty, and few studies have tracked how patients fare in the long term, making it difficult for doctors to judge who is likely to benefit.
This dramatic understatement amounts to an admission that the current practice of “affirming” a child’s cross-sex identity with hormones and surgeries is completely experimental. It follows that advocates’ claims that such interventions are beneficial or “life-saving” are not based on any high-quality research. Those who have meticulously monitored the data have been aware of this from the beginning, and systematic reviews conducted in Sweden, Finland, and the U.K. support this view. Yet, despite such evidence, U.S. medical organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, have obstinately maintained a pro-affirmation stance.
It’s clear the St. Louis clinic benefited many adolescents: Eighteen patients and parents said that their experiences there were overwhelmingly positive, and they refuted Ms. Reed’s depiction of it.
This particularly jarring statement showcases the post hoc, ergo propter hoc (“after this, therefore because of this”) fallacy: it presumes a causal relationship between phenomena merely because one follows the other. Being cautious of this fallacy, especially in the realm of human health, is fundamental to evidence-based medicine.
Few deny that many individuals are genuinely satisfied with the results of their hormonal or surgical transition. I’ve heard heartfelt accounts from minors stating that their mental well-being improved after gender-affirming treatment, and I don’t question their sincerity. However, modern medicine doesn’t—or shouldn’t—gauge the success of a treatment based purely on a patient’s personal testimony. Without comprehensive long-term-outcomes data and controlled experiments—which Ghorayshi acknowledges do not exist—it remains impossible to know whether the “positive” outcomes mentioned by the patients she references flow from the gender-affirming procedures or if the same contentment could have been achieved without resorting to body-altering hormones and surgery.
The Times article inadvertently suggests the importance of evidence-based medicine. Evaluating the effectiveness of a drug or surgery solely based on patient satisfaction constitutes a significant departure from its fundamental objectives. Were observers to start taking personal testimonies as sufficient evidence for the success of a medical treatment, the FDA would become obsolete. We’d all be forced to embrace the extravagant and pseudoscientific assertions of any self-styled health guru or medical quack.
Compare the use of testimony to support gender-affirming care at the St. Louis hospital with the Minnesota-based “healing center” known as Spring Forest Qigong (SFQ). SFQ champions the use of an ancient Chinese ritual called “external qigong” to heal the afflicted. According to its website, illnesses, or “dis-eases,” as they are fancifully labeled, are the result of “energy blockages within the body.” SFQ asserts that qigong is the magical wand that dispels these obstructions, thereby restoring the body’s “natural balance.” This involves the enigmatic Qigong Master Chunyi Lin waving his hands over one’s body, channeling energies and dissolving said blockages. If the idea of driving all the way to Minnesota for treatment seems tedious, fear not: Master Lin generously offers to transmit these energies and conduct qigong sessions over the phone.
The SFQ site provides links to several “scientific” articles from the Journal of Holistic Nursing and The American Journal of Chinese Medicine. These papers, apparently, endorse external qigong as an antidote for chronic pain. But for novices to the mystical realm of SFQ and qigong, the site offers glowing testimonials from satisfied SFQ customers.
One says: “I’ve tried different medicines. They gave relief but didn’t cure me. This season I’ve lived allergy free and I credit it to the [Spring Forest Qigong] Active Exercises I've been doing [for the past six months]. I didn’t take even one pill. Since there weren’t any other changes in my lifestyle, diet, or anything, I credit the [SFQ] active exercise. Channels were cleared, immune system adjusted and here I am, happy and allergy free.”
Another: “I was breathing into the shoulder and seeing the pain turn to air or smoke each night before I went to sleep, and it got better and better and better. I went back to the doctor months later and showed him the improvement. He said, ‘There is no way you should be able to do what you’re doing. You should be in excruciating pain. I can’t explain how you can do it, but whatever you’re doing, don’t stop.’”
Still another: “Chunyi Lin and Spring Forest have had an amazing impact on my life. It’s given me a way to live life more fully, happier. To me it’s a God send. The practice of Qigong is something everyone can benefit from. Once you have had an experience with Qigong you want to keep it a part of your life.”
One woman even says that qigong eradicated her Stage 4 breast cancer: “I rejected conventional cancer treatments from your classically trained oncologists because they didn’t work the first time. This time it was my life that hung in the balance and I was resolved to find alternative measures to find healing. And, fast forward, after six, seven months of both medical treatments and visiting with Master Lin in the Spring Forest Qigong Center I am completely healed. My cancer’s gone. My doctors call me a ‘walking miracle.’”
Should doctors and scientists view these “overwhelmingly positive” experiences as clear proof that Qigong Master Chunyi Lin healed these patients by simply waving his hands over their bodies (or through the phone) to dispel their energy blockages? Should we confidently endorse external qigong for people with Stage 4 breast or liver cancer? Probably not. Instead, we’d likely advocate for rigorous testing of external qigong through randomized control trials, demanding tangible evidence of its benefit before suggesting it could treat even minor ailments.
But if we’d be hesitant to accept these testimonials about how qigong cured some people’s energy imbalance, then why are many political progressives so quick to accept similar testimonials from minors who claim their mind-body imbalance was corrected after undergoing sex-trait modification procedures? Why is such testimony taken as definitive proof of these procedures’ benefits? Ideology couldn’t possibly be the reason—right?

By the way, this is intentional. It's part of the postmodern goal of deconstructing objective reality.

Understanding the Importance of Credit Ratings for SMEs, MSMEs, and Startups in India
In the ever-evolving landscape of the Indian economy, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and startups play a pivotal role. These entities not only drive innovation but also create significant employment opportunities and contribute extensively to the GDP. However, one of the fundamental challenges they face is access to capital. This is where the importance of a robust credit rating comes into play.
Why is Credit Rating Crucial?
1. Access to Finance: Credit ratings determine the creditworthiness of a business. A high credit rating reassures lenders of the lower risk involved in extending credit to the business. This can lead to easier access to loans, lower interest rates, and more favorable repayment terms. For SMEs, MSMEs, and startups, which typically face higher scrutiny from financial institutions, a good credit rating can open doors to essential funding.
2. Credibility with Suppliers: A strong credit rating not only helps in securing finance but also enhances the business's credibility in the eyes of suppliers. Companies with better credit ratings can negotiate better credit terms such as longer payment durations and bulk order discounts, which can significantly improve cash flow management.
3. Competitive Advantage: In a market teeming with competition, a good credit rating can serve as a badge of reliability and sound financial health. This can be particularly beneficial in tendering processes where the financial stability of a business is a key consideration.
4. Lower Borrowing Costs: Businesses with higher credit ratings can secure loans at lower interest rates. Lower borrowing costs mean that the business can invest more in its growth and development, improving profitability and sustainability over time. This is especially critical for SMEs, MSMEs, and startups, where financial leverage can determine market positioning and long-term success.
How to Improve Your Credit Rating?
Improving and maintaining a good credit rating requires a strategic approach, including timely repayment of loans, prudent financial management, maintaining a balanced debt-to-income ratio, and regular monitoring of credit reports for any discrepancies.
Need Expert Guidance?
Understanding the nuances of credit ratings and effectively managing them can be complex. This is where expert financial advisory services, such as those offered by Finnova Advisory, come into play.

The Future of Bitcoin in the Global Economy: How a New Hard Money Could Affect Markets and Innovation
Tumblr media
As we stand at the crossroads of a financial revolution, Bitcoin emerges as a beacon of possibility, poised to redefine our global economy. This digital gold, with its immutable and decentralized nature, offers a glimpse into a future where hard money can foster stability and innovation. Let's delve into how Bitcoin, as the new hard money, can transform markets and drive unprecedented levels of innovation.
The Concept of Hard Money
Hard money has historically been the bedrock of economic stability. Gold, revered for its scarcity and durability, served as a reliable store of value and medium of exchange for centuries. Bitcoin, with its capped supply of 21 million coins, mirrors these qualities. It is inherently scarce, resistant to degradation, and valuable due to its decentralized, secure nature.
Imagine a world where our financial system isn't tethered to the whims of central banks or subject to the erosion of value through inflation. Bitcoin represents this possibility, offering a modern alternative that could usher in an era of economic resilience.
Bitcoin's Role in the Global Economy
Today, Bitcoin is often seen as a speculative asset, but its potential reaches far beyond investment portfolios. As adoption grows, Bitcoin could become a cornerstone of the global financial system. Picture a future where Bitcoin is a universally accepted payment method, seamlessly integrated into national economies and possibly even serving as a global reserve currency.
This shift would not only democratize access to financial services but also empower individuals in underbanked regions, providing them with a stable store of value and a medium of exchange. The decentralization of financial power could lead to a more inclusive global economy, where financial opportunities are accessible to all, regardless of geography.
Impact on Financial Markets
Bitcoin's role as hard money can bring a new level of stability to financial markets. In contrast to fiat currencies, which can be inflated at will by central banks, Bitcoin's fixed supply offers a hedge against inflation. This stability can enhance investor confidence, encouraging more prudent financial planning and investment.
Moreover, Bitcoin's transparency and decentralization can mitigate the risk of financial crises. Unlike traditional banking systems, which often operate behind closed doors, Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger, reducing the likelihood of systemic failures caused by opaque financial practices.
Imagine a financial landscape where trust isn't placed in institutions but in the code itself—a system where financial sovereignty is returned to the individual, fostering a more resilient and transparent economy.
Encouraging Innovation
Bitcoin's underlying technology, blockchain, is already a catalyst for innovation. Beyond its use as a currency, blockchain technology is revolutionizing sectors ranging from finance to supply chain management. Bitcoin's existence encourages the development of decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, and other blockchain-based solutions.
Consider the potential for new business models centered around Bitcoin: micropayments for digital content, peer-to-peer financial services, and tokenized assets, to name a few. These innovations can create new economic opportunities, driving growth and fostering a culture of creativity and technological advancement.
In this future, we can envision a world where financial services are more accessible, efficient, and equitable, driven by the principles of decentralization and transparency that Bitcoin embodies.
Challenges and Considerations
Despite its promise, Bitcoin faces significant challenges. Regulatory uncertainty looms large, as governments worldwide struggle to adapt to this decentralized asset. Crafting balanced regulations that protect consumers without stifling innovation will be crucial.
Environmental concerns also merit attention. Bitcoin's energy consumption, while substantial, can be mitigated through advancements in technology and the adoption of sustainable energy sources. Initiatives to improve the efficiency of Bitcoin mining and transition to greener energy can help address these concerns.
Furthermore, Bitcoin's volatility is a double-edged sword. While it offers significant long-term growth potential, short-term fluctuations can deter everyday use. Developing financial instruments that mitigate volatility, such as stablecoins or Bitcoin-backed loans, could enhance its utility as a medium of exchange.
Conclusion
Bitcoin's potential to transform the global economy is profound. As a new form of hard money, it offers stability, fosters innovation, and democratizes access to financial services. However, realizing this potential requires overcoming regulatory, environmental, and volatility challenges.
The future of Bitcoin in the global economy is not just a topic of speculation but a vision of possibility. It beckons us to reimagine our financial systems, embrace decentralization, and strive for a world where economic opportunities are accessible to all. As we continue to explore and shape this future, Bitcoin stands as a testament to the transformative power of innovation and the enduring quest for financial sovereignty.
