1. 'Think regionally, ' planner tell execs - Oak Brook Business Ledger - Oak Brook, IL, USA
Planning and development experts urged business and community leaders to become involved in big-picture policy issues and develop public-private partnerships at a “Regional Consensus” luncheon hosted by the Chicago Southland Chamber of Commerce.
Bola Delano of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and Kristi DeLaurentiis of the Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC) addressed the pivotal role that business can play in development, transportation and housing, in keeping with the presentation’s theme of “Thinking Regionally, Acting Locally.”
Delano, CMAP’s executive director for economic and community development, emphasized how important it is that government officials and business owners and executives get involved in regional issues.
“We are in changing times in planning for the region, and the only way to get involved is to participate. We need to develop a regional vision and it is important to develop public-private partnerships, ” she said.
“We need you involved in the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning campaign “Go to 2040.”
Delano said the recently introduced campaign asks participants to envision the region through 2040 and beyond. It is intended to get everyone thinking forward and participating in the first comprehensive and sustainable plan for the region.
“It is a plan to develop a regional policy to help capture anticipated job growth and emerging trends in the region, ” she said. “The region is at a crossroads, with 2 million additional residents and 1.2 million more jobs projected by 2040.”
“We need information from you, our local leaders, to enable CMAP to address this wide range of planning issues that are critical to the regions prosperity and livability.”
Delano urged communities to start attending regional strategy analysis workshops conducted throughout the region by CMAP.
“If your community priorities are not on the map in 2010, they will not be considered, ”...
2. Trust is key ingredient in sharing benefits of regionalism - Detroit Free Press - United States
Regional cooperation and sustainable development are ideas usually linked with liberals. But using a central city's assets and sharing to do more with less are, if anything, conservative ideas. So it's no surprise that Grand Rapids and western Michigan lead the state in this regard.
It's time for the rest of Michigan to catch up. Our regions, especially the southeast Lower Peninsula, can no longer afford the divisions that hold them down and make progress on issues such as transportation nearly impossible.
Grand Rapids has the same problems as other central cities, including poverty, a struggling public school system, an eroding middle-class tax base, and ongoing budget deficits that have closed city pools and eliminated dozens of police and fire positions. Still, all in all, Michigan's second largest city and region are faring better than other urban areas.
Grand Rapids, with nearly 200, 000 people, is losing population at a far slower rate than Detroit, Flint, Kalamazoo or Saginaw. Its poverty rates are one-third less. The city is a national leader in the use of green energy and is developing the state's first rapid transit system. Its thriving downtown is the region's economic and cultural hub. Clean? You could almost eat off the sidewalks.
There are many reasons for Grand Rapids' relative success, including an economy that's less reliant on the ailing auto industry -- but regional cooperation is a big one. …
"The leadership here is extraordinary, " Donald Stypula, executive director of the Grand Valley Metro Council, told me. Stypula is a Detroit native and former lobbyist for the Michigan Municipal League. "It has given this region an uncanny ability to overcome differences."
The Grand Valley Metro Council, with 35 local governments in Kent, Ottawa and Allegan Counties, helps plan regional transportation and land use. …
3. Federal officials urge rebuilding as a region - Gazette Online - Solon, IA, USA
Regionalism was the buzzword Saturday at a round-table between local and county officials and U.S. Department of Commerce representatives.
After Sandy Baruah, U.S. assistant secretary of commerce for economic development, and Benjamin Erulkar, deputy assistant secretary of commerce for economic development, toured Cedar Rapids on Saturday morning, they urged local leaders to work with their Corridor counterparts to plan and rebuild as a region.
"Whatever economic development plans you had on your shelves are literally washed away, and we want to help you rebuild that, " Baruah said at the meeting in the temporary City Hall, 3851 River Ridge Dr.
Baruah said he sees two options — quickly rebuild what was there or to take time to plan for something bigger and better.
"It's easy to use the money now, " he said, "but that is not the best way to do it."
Chuck Peters, Gazette Communications CEO, noted that a lot of the planning and strategizing should be done with a regional mindset, which would take a lot of communicating and organizing.
"This is the mother of all projects, " Peters said. "I view it as a tremendous opportunity. We can build a structure to last us for decades."
Baruah said the government will pay the salary of a full-time person to help with organizing and coordinating the plan. Various grants are also available through the federal government.
"If you come up with this big regional approach, we will help you, " Baruah said. "That is a tall order, I don't want to pretend like that is easy to do."
The group also discussed the relationship between workforce development and housing.
4. Saturday forum fresh chance for regional planning - Charleston Post Courier - Charleston, SC, USA
All of us are impacted by weak-kneed regionalism in Greater Charleston, especially the absence of formal regional planning to guide the continuing growth and development of our community. The question is whether we are ready to do something about it.
We now have a bell-ringing opportunity. A formal regional planning project is under way, a two-year $1.5 million exercise directed by the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments. Its promise — a grass-roots formulation of a credible, effective strategic growth planning document. Our highest hopes — a regional planning discipline embraced by every one of the local jurisdictions that govern Greater Charleston. We are instantly reminded that Greater Charleston functions and markets itself as a defined region, but governs itself in a very different manner.
With this project, the Council of Governments' leadership has commendably made regional planning and cooperation a stand-alone agenda. Now it's up to the public to fuel the process with its input. The first and probably most important public forum will be held Saturday at 8:30 a.m. at the North Charleston Coliseum. Project managers are determined to hear from the public as they propose new disciplines of regional cooperation in directing growth and development. More than 150 persons already have registered online, and the hope is that attendance will at least double that number. Anyone can attend and online registration is available at ourregionourplan.org.
The Saturday program will feature interactive discussions, topical break-out sessions and keypad polling to confirm consensus. Parris N. Glendening, a Maryland political leader with a solid background in land-use planning, will be the keynote speaker. …
5. Group pushes regionalism - The Daily Advertiser - Lafayette, LA, USA
Acadiana is one of few areas in the state growing, and a new group aims to capitalize on that growth to promote economic development in the area.
The Acadiana Regional Alliance was formed earlier this year. The group seeks to unite Lafayette and surrounding parishes to advance common causes at the state level.
"There's a tremendous opportunity for regionalism in Acadiana, " said Pete Yuan, chairman of the Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce regionalism committee.
"With all these towns together, we would have a significant voice."
The eight parishes that make up the Alliance grew by 13 percent from 1980 to 2007, well above the state growth rate of 2 percent over that time.
With the 2010 U.S. Census and subsequent reapportionment expected to bring more house and senate seats to Acadiana, the area will have a greater political voice, Yuan said.
"When you think about regionalism, we are in a unique position to effect some powerful changes for our area, " said State Sen. Mike Michot, R-Lafayette.
The Acadiana Regional Alliance is made up of business leaders from Lafayette, St. Landry, Iberia, Acadia, Vermilion, St. Mary, St. Martin and Jeff Davis parishes. The group is led by an executive committee made up of one member from each parish.
The group's goal is to push legislation and compete for funding for key projects in Acadiana.
The alliance supports infrastructure improvements, but also has an eye toward issues that have not been raised by other organizations, such as rural Internet access and solid waste management.
The group is working to bring state legislators on board with the regional effort. Early indications are the approach is catching on.
During this year's legislative session, Acadiana legislators formed a core delegation that met regularly during the legislative session.
Acadiana representatives took a regional approach on …
6. Teamwork - Unify city, county - Charleston Gazette - WV, USA
Increasingly, America's urban zones are growing together in fused cities, longtime University of Charleston political science professor Evelyn Harris pointed out in a Monday commentary.
"SanSan" is the unbroken urban mass from San Diego to San Francisco. "ChiPitt" is the solid megalopolis from Chicago to Pittsburgh. And "BosWash" is the familiar term for nonstop Boston-to-Washington urbanization.
Yet 80, 000 separate local governments remain across America, ruling small parcels, Harris noted, and local residents are slow to cooperate in merged jurisdictions to streamline operations and save taxpayer money.
"We are now faced with expensive duplications of governmental services, " she wrote, "causing increasing costs and therefore more taxes and delays in decisions to meet local governmental needs."
Harris pointed out that Kanawha County has 16 municipalities, and efforts to simplify them have produced spotty results. The Kanawha-Charleston Health Department joined in 1947. The combined city-county jail and city-county animal shelter came later, as did the joint 911 emergency call system (located in the W.E. "Ned" Chilton III communications center, named for this newspaper's merger-minded late publisher). City-county housing departments were combined recently. Charleston's landfill has become, in effect, a city-county facility. But other teamwork plans mostly have stalled.
"At last, Charleston and Kanawha County are planning to provide solutions for our local governments by investigating possible consolidations, " the professor said.
The brightest opportunity in decades lies in the movement to expand Charleston to encompass all of Kanawha County. This unification wouldn't affect the 15 smaller municipalities, which would retain their local leaders and local identities. Only Charleston and Kanawha governments would change.
County Commission President Kent Carper is to take Kanawha mayors to Louisville in September to see how city-county unification lifted the Kentucky municipality from 250, 000 to 713, 000 population, ranking it among America's major cities …
7. Patrick seen shying from local revenue proposals, toward regional efforts - Belmont Citizen-Herald - Lexington, MA, USA
Cities and towns would be asked to engage in cooperative efforts aimed at saving operating costs under legislation Gov. Deval Patrick plans to launch next year, a sequel to his first Municipal Partnership Act, which met with mixed success because lawmakers rejected Patrick's revenue-raisers.
While the bill is months from being filed, Patrick appears likely to back off his municipal tax proposals, including hotel and meals levies, that failed last year, and focus instead on regionalization efforts that could trim costs and lead to conservation.
Patrick's budget chief, Leslie Kirwan, said the package, still in the preliminary stages, would prod municipalities to collaborate.
"I think the emphasis will be more on opportunities for them to work together effectively and probably overcome some hurdles to effective partnerships, rather than the last one, which emphasized some of the more big-ticket revenue options, " said Kirwan. "I think this is going to be more nuts and bolts."
Advocates have also pushed for clustering water resources. By 2030, according to a 2006 Metropolitan Area Planning Council analysis, 50 of the 101 communities in the Greater Boston area could exceed their allowances under the Water Management Act.
Massachusetts relies less on regional approaches to public policy questions than many other states, where large counties, compared to the Bay State's 351 cities and towns, help shape decision-making.
"The administration, in piecemeal ways that add up to a new strategy, is kind of breaking new ground in creating regional solutions and holding people accountable for that, " said Joel Barrera, project director of the Metropolitan Area Planning Council and a Patrick appointee to the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority board.
8. Province redraws economic areas - Prince Albert Daily Herald - Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada
Minister of Enterprise and Innovation Lyle Stewart announced on Tuesday that regional economic development authorities (REDAs) will be supplanted by a system of larger enterprise regions.
"REDA has made a significant contribution to the provincial economy over the last 15 years, and we want to build on that success in these new, high-performance regions, " said Stewart. "With a focus on increasing business and being more competitive, we are confident stakeholders in the regions will be able to realize more of their economic potential under this new program."
He emphasized a greater capacity to operate and entice industry into the area "on the world scale" as a result of enterprise regions.
The change will take place at the end of March 2009 when the current 27 REDAs will be replaced by 13 enterprise regions.
Along with this reorganization, an extra $2.5 million in funding was announced for the enterprise regions - doubling the total budget of regional economic development.
Because each region is fundamentally different in its composition, said Stewart, regions will be funded according to their demands.
Prince Albert will be part of the north central enterprise region, which has a population of 70, 930 and an area of 22, 500 square kilometres.
"The boundaries are still open for negotiations, " said Stewart.
He expected they would be finalized sometime this fall.
"We hope the regions will see them as thick grey lines, not thin black ones, " he said of the regional boundaries.
He expected co-operation and collaboration between the different regions.
At present the program will address only the southern half of the province, but Stewart said regions can be expected for the north within the next few years.
9. Editorial: Southern strategy for a new reality - Roanoke Times, VA
Virginia has an energy plan and a commission on climate change. Ideally, they would plug in to a national strategy to address both, if only the U.S. had a strategy.
The leadership vacuum in Washington has left it to the states to take what initiative they can. Now Gov. Tim Kaine wants Southern states to develop a regional plan to ensure adequate, affordable energy and at the same time reduce the carbon footprint left by burning fossil fuels.
Southern states should make haste slowly -- since slowly appears to be the maximum speed possible. Rational energy and climate-change policies are long overdue.
Kaine, the incoming chairman of the Southern Governors' Association, suggested the regional approach Monday, the closing day of an association conference. He noted that each of the 16 member states has or is working on plans to deal with the dual issues of energy and climate change.
Together, the states could present a united front in Washington, he said, "as the federal framework is being hammered out." After all, the other three regional governors' associations in the nation all have regional climate initiatives. Whatever special concerns the South might have -- say, in researching clean-coal technology -- should be on the table, too. Kaine said 57 percent of the nation's fossil fuels come from Southern states.
But if the South wants to be an actor, rather than a spectator, in developing solutions to the nation's energy and climate-change woes, its governors need to step up their interest.
Kaine merely proposed opening regional talks about how to achieve energy independence and mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuels. Specific goals, and timetables and strategies for meeting them, will have to be set by consensus. Kaine is hoping the governors can meet quarterly over the next year …

The Wyckoff Journal – Bergen County, NJ, USA
An enormous amount of chatter has been emanating from Trenton on the need for municipalities to review the fiscal savings available through the regionalization of services. It is not a new subject of debate. March of 1962 saw GOP mayors from the Bergen County area meeting to discuss the issue of regionalization.... Like New England, there is a strong averseness towards the concept of regionalization. Organizations such as volunteer fire departments are heavily reliant on a communal identity, and openly disrupting that tradition might end up costing taxpayers more. Other points of communal pride such as schools might also fail to benefit from a regional approach as it may only add another expensive layer of bureaucracy. Also, schools often involve heavy civic involvement which might be hindered should a community sense its identity being diluted. Many towns are seeking to share services that do not necessarily impact the characteristics or social fabric of a community, and researching collective purchasing of fuel, insurance pools, and shared services such as waste removal and recycling.

The Wilmington Area Planning Committee has looked at this situation since the early 1990s.

12. Blogging about Regional Communities Contents
.01 A New Beginning
Hub and Spokes
Now, more than ever, it seems that the planning community and citizens need to demand that our elected officials put in place regional planning (that is beyond transportation). If cities and suburbs in regions are going to function and work together and continue to create liveable communities, this can't be done in a vacuum. Rather, we need a larger plan that will help dictate local initiatives. This regional plan should not replace local and community planning but needs to be a guide and supplement to it. Why should a region have thousand of different zoning codes and ordinances based by county, city, and township. In this example, we need to have zoning that is comprehensive and that will work in creating a unified region. Regionalism should be the new buzz word. …

“The Midwest is failing the challenge of globalization, largely because it’s so balkanized, with each state trying to compete in the global economy. Midwestern states are simply too small, too incompetent, too obsessed with the wreckage of the industrial economy, to deal with the problems of the future, like education. It’s time for other players -- cities, businesses, especially universities -- to come together in a concerted regional approach that would leverage the Midwest’s strengths, not undermine them, ” said Richard C. Longworth, senior fellow, Chicago Council on Global Affairs and author of the new book, Caught in the Middle: America's Heartland in the Age of Globalism.

Each person at the table had things they wanted to accomplish. Each knew some of the others but not all. An hour later, everyone was closer to both. Email addresses were exchanged. Resources are being shared. Further resources will be sought jointly. No tribalism. No turf. The regionalism long touted by moribund institutions was birthed in an evening by people whose chief transportation concern was expressed as a desire to be able to ride their bicycles across the river.

Meanwhile, it’s no surprise that the new platform for economic competitiveness is the region. What is surprising is how little progress Memphis has made in this regard. After all, Memphis has spent more than a decade talking the talk of regionalism, but little has been done to walk the walk.

.03 English regionalism: rhetoric or substance? evaluating decision making procedures for regional funding allocations - School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol
In the absence of political devolution in England, the Government is committed to extending the responsibilities of the regional tier in delivering public policies. The Government's guidance on Regional Funding Allocations (RFAs) aims to promote greater sub-national discretion and coordination and reflects the expectation that regional institutions will play an increasingly significant role in determining their region's priorities.
The aim of this project is to evaluate the quality and rigour of regional decision making procedures for RFAs in all English regions. It will tell us precisely how the different resource capacities and objectives of regional stakeholders are being managed in efforts to achieve integration between (i) economic development, (ii) housing and (iii) transport policies and the extent to which regional policy making is underpinned by robust, inclusive and evidence based procedures.

.01 Big Look goes local - Capital Press (subscription) - Salem, OR, USA
The Big Look Task Force is calling for more local control of land-use decisions.
In a preliminary report, the task force recommends the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission perform more long-range planning and fewer regulatory functions and assist local governments with planning efforts.
The report, released last month, calls for local governments to make allowed uses "consistent with the long-term carrying capacity of the land" and to consider "impacts to neighboring uses."
The report also calls for the state to identify farm and forest land of statewide importance and apply market-based tools, such as conservation easements, to help landowners maintain the farm and forest uses.
Local governments would not have land-use-planning jurisdiction over land determined to be of statewide importance, according to the report.
The report also calls for the state to align transportation and infrastructure investment with long-range planning goals.
Dave Hunnicutt, president of Oregonians In Action, said he likes several of the task force's proposals, including the call for more local control.
"The main problem is planning just doesn't work when it's done at a state or federal level, " Hunnicutt said. "It's got to be done locally."
The Oregon Farm Bureau, in prepared comments it made to the task force earlier this month, said it, too, believes more local planning is needed - but for a different reason.
"Smaller isolated areas of good farmland are not being protected by the existing statewide planning system, " the Bureau wrote. "Regionalized planning is one way to correct this oversight and protect these lands."

On December 26, 2016-January 1, 2017, 10 persons fell victim to armed conflict in Northern Caucasus
During the week of December 26, 2016-January 1, 2017, at least 10 persons fell victim to the armed conflict in Northern Caucasus. Of them, six were killed, and four others were wounded. These are the results of the calculations run by the "Caucasian Knot" based on its own materials and information from other open sources.
The death toll includes one law enforcer and five suspected members of illegal armed formations (IAFs), all of them in Dagestan.
Attacks on law enforcers
According to updated information, in the course of an armed clash which occurred on December 25, 2016, inMakhachkala, apart from two killed policemen, reported earlier, another policeman was wounded. The relevant information was reported on December 26.
At about 10:00 p.m. Moscow time of December 29, in Khasavyurt, unidentified people, travelling in a VAZ-2107 car, shelled a police squad. Two militants were killed by return fire. In the course of a shootout, a policeman died from gunshot wounds. Suspected militants have been preliminary identified as Eldar Akamov and Islam Malachev. According to the preliminary information of the law enforcement authorities, the killed militants were members of the "Khasavyurt" militant grouping, and earlier, one of them had been a member of the "Kizilyurt" militant grouping and was suspected of involvement in an attack on the Kizilyurt police checkpoint.
Special and counterterrorist operations

In the evening of December 31, in the village of Yamansu of the Novolak District of Dagestan, law enforcers cordoned off a house with suspected militants inside it. During the special operation, two militants were killed and three law enforcers were wounded. At 2:15 a.m. Moscow time of January 1, the CTO legal regime was introduced within a part of the territory of the Novolak District, where two suspected militants had been killed. The killed militants were identified as Anvar Gadjiev and Magomed Sultanov, members of the Khasavyurt militant grouping. At 5:00 p.m. Moscow time of January 1, the CTO legal regime was lifted.
On December 29, in Dagestan, law enforcers detained seven suspected militants of the "Islamic State", a terrorist organization, banned in the Russian Federation. The suspects were plotting terror act in the area of the Dagestani capital. All the detainees were members of the so-called "inactive unit." Till present, the names of the detainees have not been disclosed in the interests of the investigation. The detainees already testify about their contacts and objectives. According to law enforcers, the suspects obtained instructions from Syria.

Photography Insurance – Compare Cheap Quotes
Most wedding photographers and event photographers are self-employed, as are many photo-journalists and photographic artists, and even commercial photographers and advertising photographers are often contracted in by corporate clients rather than employed as permanent members of staff.
While that often means these photography professionals have more creative freedom, it also means they may be personally on the hook if someone is injured during a photoshoot and the photographer is held liable.
A public liability claim can prove incredibly costly in these cases, with the possibility of legal fees, court costs and compensation pay-outs (assuming the court sides with the claimant, of course), which is why many photography professionals decide to invest in public liability insurance for photographers.
Compare Photographer Insurance Quotes Now
What does public liability insurance for photographers insure me against?
As the name suggests, public liability insurance for photographers can protect you against the risk of liability claims by members of the public, and can cover you whether the accident happens on your own premises or at an off-site photoshoot.
So, as an example, if you’re a portrait photographer and a portrait customer trips over cabling in your photography studio and breaks their arm, you could be sued for damages.
Similarly, if your lighting equipment falls and injures a member of the public during an on location photoshoot, you could face a costly liability claim, and would have to cover the resulting legal expenses and compensation pay-outs yourself unless you had photographer insurance in place at the time of the accident.
Being a photographer obviously isn’t the riskiest of professions (tree surgeons, builders and property developers are usually much more exposed to the risk of liability claims, for instance, because of the nature of their business, and even someone who runs a bouncy castle business probably faces a higher risk of a claim than a wedding photographer or a photo-journalist) but there’s always the risk that someone might be injured during a shoot, which is why it might be a wise idea to find cheap public liability insurance for photographers.
Is photographer insurance a legal requirement in the UK?
No, photographer insurance is a type of public liability insurance, and PLI policies aren’t legally required in the UK no matter what kind of work you do.
However, while it isn’t a legal obligation it might be a contractual one, because if you use venues as backdrops for your photoshoots it’s possible those venues might insist that you have photographers insurance in place, and even some corporate clients might require you to have this type of policy before you begin photographing in their offices.
Does photographers public liability insurance insure my photography equipment too?
No, photographers public liability insurance is only designed to protect you from the risk of public liability claims, so this type of policy usually won’t cover you if your own camera, lenses or lighting equipment is damaged.
However, it is possible to take out a separate policy to cover your photography equipment, and this type of policy will usually cover you whether your equipment is damaged during a photoshoot, in transit or at your own home. You can insure your camera here.
How much does photography insurance cost, on average?
It’s impossible to give an average figure, because insurance providers take many different factors into consideration when calculating the premium for your photography insurance, and each provider will also give each of those factors a slightly different weighting.
The best plan is to use Quotezone.co.uk’s photographer insurance comparison service to compare quotes from a range of different providers, and then go with the one that offers the best policy at the most competitive price.
Does public liability insurance for photographers cover liability claims by my own employees?
No, if you own a small photography business that employs members of staff and one of those employees sues you for compensation your public liability insurance for photographers won’t cover you in this instance.
You’d need employers’ liability insurance to protect you against this type of liability claim, and in fact if you do employ permanent members of staff employers’ liability cover is a legal requirement in the UK.

A woman who purchased a tie to remind her to pray for her future husband everyday, discovered that it eerily matched her wedding theme colors.
Tami Acree wrote a post on Facebook saying “For seven years, it hung on my bed or my dresser mirror, and more times than I can count, it led me to pray God would encourage, grow, and spiritually develop my someday-husband into the man of God I desired. I always meant to give it to my husband as a momento on our wedding day.”
The bracelet I wore was Caleb's Christmas present to me last year.
She eventually met Caleb and fell in love with each other and decided to get married. Before their wedding, Acree went to give the tie to Caleb and realized something amazing:The tie’s pattern matched their wedding colors.
That is a very specal tie. When I was a sophomore in college, I was challenged to purchase a tie and hang it in my room…
She wrote, “I had such a special moment with the Lord. He knew even before I bought that tie seven years ago that Caleb was the man I was praying for and He orchestrated it in His perfect timing! I didn’t tell Caleb to wear it, I just gave it to him like I always meant to. And as I’m walking down the aisle towards him, one of the things I will always remember is seeing Caleb and seeing he is wearing my prayer-soaked tie.”
We believe the word of God which says that not a leaf can fall from a tree without His knowledge, and everything that happens in the life of a believer who has submitted himself totally in the hands of God is from Him.

German hunting rifle manufacturer Blaser – which also introduced a line of rifle scopes last year, has announced a new addition to its growing family of optics – a red dot sight dubbed the RD-17. Designed for driven hunts, the Blaser RD-17 offers a number of features that assist in quick target acquisition at close range.
Integrated with the patented Blaser mount, the RD-17 can be mounted as low as possible on a rifle, enabling target acquisition of multiple, fast-moving game in both a quick and virtually intuitive fashion. It offers ten illumination settings for varying intensities – eight for daytime and two for nighttime lighting conditions, for an improved sight picture. One of the RD-17’s unique features is the IIC – Intelligent Illumination Control, a battery-saving feature that makes the sight automatically go into a power-saving mode if the RD-17 has not detected any movement for a full 3 minutes. The RD-17 then automatically reactivates at the last intensity setting once movement is again detected. This energy-saving feature ensures a battery life of over 50,000 hours and will likely free the hunter from the frustration of missing a shot due to having to activate the sight manually.
The dot’s size is 2 MOA, and the sight features a 1x magnification. Elevation and windage knobs are at the top and right side of the sight respectively; these settings are adjustable by 0.5 MOA for every click. The battery compartment is on the right, in front of the elevation adjustment knob, and both the eyepiece and lens have detachable, repositionable flip covers for unobstructed sighting. Two buttons marked “+” and “-“ adjust the red dot’s intensity and also functions as the on/off button.
Slated for release in the North American market in August 2018, the Blaser RD-17 is expected to have a retail price of 780 Euros ($965).

Credit cards allow a large flexibility and convenience in payment, thus it is no wonder that they are used by millions of people around the world. Credit cards have many advantages, such as making possible for payments to be performed online or even over the phone. Credit cards by major card companies are accepted all over the world, both in stores and on ATMs. They can bring you many bonuses, discounts and award points.
One of the commonly emphasized advantages is that credit cards are often granted even to those whose credit rating is not ideal. Not only that issuance of a card can be accepted in many such cases, but repaying the debt on the card on time can even help the card holder improve their credit rating for the future loans and credits.
However, there is a limit in credit score after which you may not be able to obtain a standard credit card, that is if your credit eating is too low or your credit history is limited. In such cases, there is a possibility of obtaining a subprime credit card.
Subprime credit cards are issued by financial institutions focused on this sort of lending, but it can also be possible to obtain them from major card issuers. Their advantage is that, if you obtain such a card and repay the debt on time, you can increase your credit score and thus be able to be granted another credit card, as a prime borrower. However, there are plenty of disadvantages of subprime cards. Firstly, the interest rates of these cards are significantly higher, and in case you do not repay the debt on time, you will pay an interest that can reach as much as 30%.
Then, subprime credit cards usually come with lower credit limits, so if you need a larger loan, the one granted by this card may not be sufficient. Not only that the interest rates are higher with these cards, but there are also more fees to be paid, and they are higher than with other credit cards. Additionally, most cases of predatory lending when it comes to credit cards have been documented precisely in case of subprime credit cards. This means that the borrower often does not know the number and the amount of fees he is paying, or even the period over which he needs to repay the debt in full.
In case you are not granted the credit card you applied for because of your credit rating, there are other options to explore. Some issuers will give you a general purpose card even if your credit rating is not ideal, since in the recent years the number of credit card offers has been expanded and the issuing companies have become more flexible.
Another option is a secured credit card, in case you cannot get a traditional unsecured one. In this case, you are required to pay the deposit before the card is issued, which mitigates the issuer’s risk and makes them more eager to grant the credit card even to those with low credit rating. In any case, make sure to explore as many options as you can, so that you can find the most suitable one.
How Does a Secured Credit Card Build Credit?
Sharing a bank account or a credit is not rare, and people decide to do it for a variety of reasons. The conditions of sharing an account are different depending on the type of the account, but also on the credit rating, income, age and other factors related to the individuals who share the account.
Sharing the account may come in several forms, and these are the most common types:
1. Joint applicants: this type of agreement makes both applicants equally liable for all the debts on the account, making both of them prime users. This means that it is not important who has made the debt, but both applicants are equally responsible of repaying it.
2. Co-signer: this is an agreement where one person co-signs a loan agreement for someone else. This puts the co-signer in a position that he is liable for the debt, but only in case the prime borrower fails to repay it.
3. Guarantor: being a guarantor is similar to being a co-signer, meaning that the guarantor is liable to repay the debt in case the prime borrower fails to do so. However, there is a difference between the two – the co-signer is required to repay the borrower’s debt as soon as the bill becomes overdue. The guarantor is required to repay the borrower’s debt only after the lender has exhausted all the possible means of collecting the debt from the prime borrower.
4. Authorized user: an authorized user can be added onto the account, which makes him liable for accessing the money, but the account holder is responsible for covering the entire debt. However, the law in some states makes the authorized users responsible for their portion of the debt on the account.
There are certainly many advantages of sharing the account with someone else. Most people choose to share an account with their children, so that they can have an access to the money if anything unexpected happens. It is also common for spouses to share the account which serves them to cover daily expenses. Many people also act as co-signers or guarantors to those whose credit rating is not sufficient for obtaining certain types of loans. Basically, sharing the account provides security in one way or the other, enabling both parties to access the money in the case of need, or enabling an individual to take a loan he normally would not be eligible for.
Even though there are good sides, sharing the account has its disadvantages as well. If you share a credit card debt, it is necessary that it is repaid on time, because otherwise there will be a high interest to be paid, and credit score of both users may be hurt. In case of co-signing for a loan or being a guarantor, in case the prime borrower does not repay the debt, the co-signer or the guarantor is the one responsible for repayment. Not to mention that many interpersonal problems may arise from sharing the account and acting irresponsibly about it.
If you choose to share the account, make sure that you choose the best option, and make personal agreements with the person you are sharing it with, in order to avoid any misunderstanding and make the shared account convenient for both of you.
