promiscuous
soulmate au?  a lil suggestive but sfw, pro hero bakugou
word count: 1890
Tumblr media
For some time, people started getting a random marking on their body.  People thought it was a genetic mutation due to quirks, but over time they discovered two people had matching marks of someone’s quirk.  No two marks were the same.  After some studies it was proven that these markings were soulmate markings.
Growing up, you hated the explosive marking you had on your upper back.  You tried to avoid tank tops, low back dresses and more.  No one really wanted to date anyone if you could see a soulmate marking.  One day you looked on television seeing the upcoming pro heroes, not being much attention until you hear ‘Ground Zero, with an amazing flashy quirk.  Explosives....’, you didn’t pay any more attention.  You started at the blonde boy on the television, feeling a connection through the television.
“Well ain't this shitty.  Regardless if he’s my soulmate, he's a pro and I’m just a civilian.  No chance of us meeting.”  You said driely to yourself.  There was not much that you could do with your fox quirk.  Not many people like you because they quickly assumed you were cunning and sly.  So the best job you could get is being a waitress at a popular underground club.
Bakugou was livid when Kirishima took him to a club.  He told him they were going out to relax and ended up in a non-relaxing place.  His friends were super excited to have a free day and to party, Bakugou on the other hand wanted to go home and sleep.  Bakugou sat on the couch next to his friends who were chatting about missions.  Until a body appeared in front of the group.
“Heya fellas, I’m y/n.  I’m here to take care of you.  Can I get you fellas anything?”  You flirt.  I mean how else will you get tips.
While the others started to ask what was good and ordering, Bakugou stared at you.  Noticing the red fluffy ears on your head that moves as you talk, as well as the bushy tail swings to the music.  Bakugou for some reason can get his eyes off of you.
“Bakugou, do you want anything?”  Kirishima snaps him back to reality.  You are standing, with a hand on your hip, smiling.
“Water.”
You smile, before walking away to get the orders.  Kirishima and Denki complained to Bakugou about just getting water.  Bakugou’s eyes follow you as you head towards the bartender to get the drinks.  You shiver as you sneak a peek at the blonde that was staring you down.  You smile, thinking this was gonna be a good night and get an amazing tip.
The whole night, you felt the blonde’s eyes everywhere you went.  You ignored it, it’s normal for working at a club.  Currently you had your eyes on a regular customer you had for a couple months.  He tipped big.
“You know I’m not a cheap one.”  You giggled, as your finger ran along his neck.  “The bigger you tip the nicer I am.”  The man’s hand laid on your waist.  At the club you were known as the promiscuous fox, playing into your quirk.  A sly and cunning fox, that flirts with anyone.  You didn’t care, the tips paid your expenses.
“Aren’t you a promiscuous foxie?  That’s why I like you.”  You internally cringe.
“I’ll be back.  I have more customers.”  You slightly push him in a flirtatious way, making him laugh.  Rolling your eyes as your back was towards him.  The bartender laughed as he saw your face.
“He’s still coming here.”  He spoke as he made your orders.
“He’s so annoying.  He always reeks of alcohol, but whatever.  He tips bigger when he’s drunk.”
“Careful, those men always think you own them when you make them feel special.”
“Trust me.  He will regret it if he tries.”  Over the night, you completely forgot how the blonde’s eyes followed you.
Bakugou stares at the fox head outline that marks his left inner wrist.  He wasn’t sure if it was you, there are others with the same quirk as you.  He would scan your body to see if there was a trace of a marking, but he was quick to come to the conclusion that it was hidden where no one could see it.  He finally gave up and minded his business.
The night was slowly coming to an end, peacefully until people heard glass shattering.  Everyone’s eyes turn to the source of sound.  Seeing a drunk man with his hands around a waitress neck.
“You bitch!  After everything don’t you think you owe me!”  The hand grips your neck tighter.  Your regular finally snapped at you for not giving anything back for all the tips.  
You groan as your nails dig into his wrist.  You can see people starting to walk over to help you.  You kick his groin, causing him to scream in pain and letting you go.  You breath in before kneeing him in the face.  Catching your breath, you look at the man lying unconscious with a bloody nose.  You grab his collar before dragging him out of the club.  Everyone stares at you and moves out of the way.  You kick the door before throwing the man out.
“This one is banned.”  You look at the doorkeeper.
Walking back in to clean up your mess, you are met with eyes.  What?  They never saw a person get kicked out of a club.
Your coworker comes over to inspect your neck.  You had slight bleeding in the back of your neck, were the drunk man dug his nails into your neck.  You pull your hair into a loose bun as your co-worker inspects the nail marks.  Everyone’s attention went to their own business after awhile.  As your coworker was scolding you from getting in dangerous situations once again and cleaning your cuts, someone else was staring wide eyed at your back.
The blonde can see your upper back exposed, that was hidden due to your hair.  Clear as day, he saw the explosive marking on your upper back.  Once your cowork placed a bandage on top of the cuts, you let your hair down and sighed.
“Aw man.  He tipped so well.”  You rest your chin on your palm, as you sipped your fruity drink.
You took the night off, sitting at the bar sipping at your drink.  You feel a presence sit next to you but you ignore it.  You hummed to the song playing as you swayed with your eyes close.  You hear someone clear their throat, causing you to turn around to face the presence.
“Ah it’s you.  Blondie.”  You giggled.  “Sorry, I’m done for the night.  That man took the wind out of me.”
“I was checking on you.”  His red eyes could still be seen in the dark room.
“Awh, are you worried about me?  That’s cute.”  You lean more into your hand and smile.  “Well don’t worry, I’m heading home.  So thank you for checking on me but this is where we part ways.”  You sighed as you placed your jacket on.
“Let me take you home.”  The blonde gets up.
You give him a weird look, causing him to backtrack and clear what he meant.  Worry that a tipsy girl was going home late at night.  You laughed and accepted, you didn’t want to deal with any drunk guys you will probably run into as you walk to your apartment.  It was silent as the blonde walked next to you.
“Bakugou was it?  Thats what the redhead said.”
“Yeah, you said your name was y/n.”
“Wow, what a good memory.  Many guys don’t care because I’m just a waitress, so I appreciate that you remembered.”
The two reach your building.  Bakugou insists that he will see you at your door.  You smile and agree.
“This is the first time a guy takes me home and doesn’t expect anything.”
“Why would I need something in return?”  He furrows his brow.
“Well most guys expect a payment for taking me home.  I usually kick them and make a run for it.”  You laughed, remembering all the times you kicked a man and booked it to your apartment.”
“Well I’m not most guys.”  He sneers.
“I can see.”  You turn to place your keys to open your door.
“I’m not most guys because I’m your soulmate.” 
You’re hand hovers above your door handle.  You stand in shock before turning around.  You see Bakugou staring down.
“Very funny.”  You gave him a dry laugh.  “It’s not nice to accuse someone to be your soulmate when you don’t even have evidence.
“Oh really.”  He shows you the outline of a fox head on his inner wrist.  
“So what?  Many people have a fox quirk.”
“Yeah but no but my soulmate would have an explosion marking.”
You feel a chill do down your back.  No one has really seen your making, so how did he know?  You hid the marking when it appeared, and never mentioned unless someone pointed it out if they got a glimpse of it.  You couldn’t believe this man standing in front of you.
“Really?  Everyone knows that Ground Zero has an explosion quirk.  Impersonating a pro hero isn’t funny.”  Your grip your door hand.
“Who said I wasn’t a pro hero?”  You felt him get closer.
“Stop Bakugou.  It’s not funny.”  You turn and glare.
“It’s not.”  You feel his hand creep, to touch your marking.  Feeling static, your face heats up.  “The marking looks just like my explosions.”
You turn around, slapping his hand away from you.  You look at him in shock as he held a smirk that was all too familiar.  Ground Zero’s signature smirk.  He got closer, faces inches apart.
“Prove it.”  You whispered.  His smirk got bigger, as he took a step back.  You hear a small crackling, looking down at his hands.  Small explosions showered his hand.  You couldn’t believe it.  You never thought you would meet him, your soulmate.
He puts his hand down, getting closer once again.  Your heart starts to race and your face flushes.  His hand lands on your hand wrist, the other near the marking.  He pulls you into a kiss.  Your heart starts pounding against your chest, as you melt into his touch. 
  Is this what your soulmate’s touch makes you feel?  
His hand starts to snake around your waist, pushing you closer to him.  You snap back to your senses.  You push his face, leaving small scratches on his face, due to your claws.  His arm wipes the beaded blood, as he stands there still smirking.
“I’ll have you know.  Even if I am your soulmate, I won’t fall for temptation.  I’m not an easy girl, I play hard to get.”
“I love a challenge.”  He chuckles.
“Well good luck.  I’m not that easy to win.  I’ll have you know, I have options.”  You open your door.  Before closing your door, Bakugou spoke.
“Who knew I got lucky with a pretty and hard to get fox?  I’m looking forward to seeing more of you.”
You glared as you slammed the door to your apartment.  You catch your breath, as you listen to the whistling and footsteps to disappear.  You fall against the door, face flushed in the crimson color.
“Holy shit.”  You muttered.
part 2?  i don’t know you tell me :)

Solving the Housing Crisis in Africa
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ameet Dhillon
Marketing and Business Development Executive
The continent of Africa has about 1.3 billion people today and many demographers believe it will nearly double to 2.5 billion by 2050. Africa also has the youngest average population with a median age in 2012 of 19.7--the worldwide median age was 30.4. This unparalleled level of growth, coupled with youth, presents many problems such as housing: The African Development Bank estimates there is a deficit of 50.5 million housing units in Sub-Saharan Africa. Every government in Africa recognizes residential housing as a key problem, yet it is hardly being addressed. The problem seems almost intractable, particularly in the so-called “social housing” segment which is often defined as a residence that costs less than $25,000 USD. So what is the problem and is there any way to solve it?
Let’s briefly discuss the various issues that are compounding the housing crisis and then we will get to an innovative approach to solve, or at least lessen this problem. The issues with housing in Africa are numerous, but there are at least four main problems that must be overcome. The first is inconsistent or poor-quality construction due to a lack of international-class training for construction trades such as concrete mixing, roof installation, and final finish. The second is limited economies of scale because house construction is often project managed by the owner or his/her representative. As a result, cost overruns are common, and construction can take years to complete. The third is a lack of trust in real estate developers which is often what leads to the aforementioned second problem. Finally, the fourth and perhaps the biggest problem is financing. Without some sort of reasonable financing, a housing industry simply cannot exist. Imagine for a moment trying to buy your current residence in the US, Europe or indeed anywhere in the world by paying cash at the time of purchase. Would you be able to buy your house under those circumstances? For most people, the answer is no, yet that is the environment that the majority of African homebuyers face today. 
These problems seem almost insurmountable; how do we even begin to address them? Rather than walk the reader through some theoretical exercise on what could be done, I will describe what two innovative companies (full disclosure: I am Managing Director of one of them) are successfully doing right now to prove these problems can be overcome. I don’t claim these companies have fully solved the problem, but they have laid out a clear blueprint in parts of West Africa that anyone else is free to emulate anywhere on the continent. In fact, the principals of both companies are willing to share their formula for success with anyone; just for the asking; no strings attached. Email [email protected] to begin a discussion. 
American Homebuilders of West Africa (AHWA) and US-Africa Housing Finance (USAHF) are both US-registered LLCs that symbiotically work together to build, sell and finance houses in West Africa. The following diagram illustrates the relationship between the two companies.
Tumblr media
AHWA markets, builds, and sells houses in West Africa and USAHF provides the financing by purchasing loans originated by AHWA. Private investors provide the capital to USAHF (earning an annual 9%, us-dollar return over the last three years) which begins the virtuous cycle that propels this relationship forward. 
One thing you will notice is the total lack of government help or any kind of philanthropy in this model to date. Both businesses are for-profit (and currently profitable) and have thus far relied 100% on private capital raised in the United States. Having said that, there is an appropriate place for governments, foundations or other quasi-government institutions to get involved to provide much needed catalytic capital to move the respective businesses forward more quickly and efficiently. Since the business model for both companies has been proven; now is the time for large institutions to step up and provide support.
So how did these companies overcome the four problems laid out earlier where others have failed? The first problem of poor construction quality is not conceptually hard to solve given that construction techniques are well understood in the US, Europe, and other developed markets. However, to do it in an environment that is used to accepting poor quality as a "fact of life" requires investing in the local team's development and a great deal of diligence and desire to produce a quality product. Fortunately, the co-founders of AHWA all have that desire and thus construct houses that anyone can be proud to live in. Part of this diligence can be traced back to their experience as peace corps volunteers in Cote d’Ivoire in the 1990s. As an example of their dedication, one of the co-founders of AHWA, Jonathan Halloran, personally trained the local African team in how to build a safer ladder (see photo below), use power tools effectively and organize a logistics depot.
Tumblr media
Jonathan's theory is you teach one group how to do it in an international-class way and they will eagerly pass on that knowledge to anyone who will listen. Fortunately, most Africans are eager to listen and learn as they genuinely want to see their country and indeed their continent progress. 
The second problem--limited economies of scale--, and the third--lack of trust in developers--go hand in hand. If there is trust in housing developers, then there is no need for individuals to build their own house and suffer the associated pain and heartache. Ask any member of the African diaspora and they will relate either a personal story or one of some close friends or relatives that involves getting “scammed” while trying to build a house back in Africa. AHWA has gotten over the trust problem the old-fashioned way: They provide a quality product to their customers and “word of mouth” over time has done the rest. AHWA is now a trusted brand in Guinea, West Africa and beginning to develop in neighboring countries such as Sierra Leone, Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal with many more to come.    
The final problem is financing and this is perhaps the most vexing of all. Providing a home loan to a borrower is more complicated than it might seem at first glance. There is the obvious issue of raising the capital to fund the loans (this itself is hard enough when the target market is Africa), but perhaps more difficult is the underwriting process. The lender cannot just provide a loan to anyone; the borrower must be properly vetted via some systematic and repeatable process. This requires getting to know a prospective borrower and assessing the associated risk. To ease this daunting task, initially, USAHF only plans to offer loans to the African diaspora living in OECD countries such as the US, France, Canada, UK, etc. In addition, a 30% down payment is required along with customary verification of income, debt and the like.
One unique aspect of the joint AHWA/USAHF underwriting model is that they allow borrowers to pay monthly into what is effectively an "escrow account" for up to 24 months in order to reach the 30% down payment level. This is not only helpful for the borrower but also provides invaluable data and confidence about the borrower’s ability to pay. If someone has the financial discipline to make a monthly payment for a year or more without even having a house, the likelihood of them defaulting once they actually have the house is very low. In other words, they are an excellent credit risk.
The final piece of the financing puzzle is a well-developed process to handle the inevitable loan default. No matter how good an underwriting process you have, some number of defaults are expected. In fact, many bankers will tell you that if you don’t have any defaults that means you are too strict in your underwriting and should loosen the requirements. Both AHWA and USAHF have an agreed process in place for default and have successfully navigated the process multiple times with minimal impact on either business as well as the borrower. Because of the high demand for AHWA houses, resale has been relatively smooth and as expected prices are rising and this insulates the defaulting borrower from large losses.
In conclusion, both AHWA and USAHF believe they have a profitable, sustainable and replicable model that over time can solve the housing crisis in Africa. However, governments, DFIs, foundations and other similar types of institutions will need to step up and provide catalytic capital to make this promise a reality.

5 Smart Ways to Make Your Credit Card Work for You
Tumblr media
UAE certainly has the highest credit card, internet and e-commerce penetration in the MENA region. However, a significant percentage of transactions are still made through cash. Visa and Mastercards are popular and are widely accepted by merchants in the region.
There have been several changes in recent years, which are moving the needle on credit card usage in the market. Some customers would have witnessed their credit cards being reissued by the issuers with a chip around 2016/17. This was due to a mandate from the Central bank of UAE for the issuers to comply with EMV (Europay, Mastercard and Visa global standard for chip-secured credit cards) standards a few years ago.
Credit cards are extremely convenient, secure and what’s more, also reward cardholders on usage as well. There are more than 200 credit cards issued by banks and financial institutions in the UAE. While the number of banks is shrinking with the recent M&A announcements, there are several new credit cards that keep popping up with innovative and irresistible offers to the customer.
Many of us would have had a difficult experience with our first credit card. Not understanding differences between a credit or debit card, we would likely have dashed to the nearest ATM to withdraw some cash and spend on stuff which we really did not have any plans of buying. A scenario that would most likely have ended finally with some sort of settlement with the bank after weeks and perhaps months of painful collections calls and negotiations.
As we got a little more aware of how credit cards work, we generally end up with one or two cards (ideally issued to us by the banks where our salary gets credited) and have built some sort of loyalty to these cards over the years.
This article gives a credit card user 5 useful tips on how to use a credit card and maximize savings. These are simple and proven steps that can help one save thousands of dirhams.
No one Credit Card is best suited for everyone
Credit cards are diverse in their offerings. One must understand that 200+ credit cards in the market come with several differences. Some of them being:
Fees and Charges: Annual Fees, Interest rates, International transaction charges, cash advance charges and so on.
Reward Features: Cashback, Airmiles, Reward Points, No Rewards no fee, Reward earn rates, Redemption or burn rate, etc., Note- The value of the rewards might vary based on spend amounts, type, location, etc.,
Features: Airport Lounge, Free Cinema, Complimentary Golf, Valet Offers, etc.,
Apart from the above, there are also credit limits, co-brands (Skywards, Etihad and so on), etc., which differentiate cards. With so many differences among them, it is important to spend a few minutes to compare the features and identify the most suitable credit card for your specific needs.  Soulwallet’s  “Best Fit” comparison tool uses smart algorithms that can match one’s individual spend pattern and feature preferences with the most suitable credit cards among all options available. One will also get a good indication of annual saves in dirhams earned through credit card rewards. Do check how your current credit cards stack up against the ones which are best for you. Click here to find out.
Also, do look at the feature-wise rankings to find out which is the best card for your favorite credit card feature (Cinema, Golf, etc.,)
No one Credit Card can give you the best value
Why do banks have multiple credit cards under their offering? These are typically to cater to different segments of customers who are keen on a specific feature or a reward program. Cashback and Airmiles are a couple of popular reward categories.
After evaluating credit cards in the UAE and the reward offering across their products, it is quite evident that there is no one card that may fit in the best for you. In order to optimize your savings (reward value for the transactions you make on the credit card), you probably might have to keep 2 or 3 credit cards in your wallet which satisfy all your requirements with a high rating.
For example, John travels frequently. He spends his weekends generally watching movies with his wife and two school-going children. The best option for John is to look at the below combinations:
Credit cards that:
Reward him with maximum reward rates for a) School Fees b) Grocery expenses c) Travel spends
Includes complimentary features such as a) Cinema Offer b) Airport Lounge c) Airport Transfer
Has low international (foreign currency) transaction charges.
The answer might be more than 1 card and if the saves are significant, why not?
Pay on time and if possible, in full
Making payments on time is probably the most important criterion which helps build one’s credit score. Having a healthy credit score means keeping your credit options available. There is always going to be a need for some sort of credit requirement, for example, a home loan, salary transfer loan and so on. Find out more on Credit scores in the UAE
Making your credit card payments on time is extremely critical and if possible, try to make them in full. This means one would save money on the interest which can be in thousands of dirhams.
Most banks have options such as Standing Instructions (from your bank account to your credit card if both are with the same bank), Direct Debit (a standard transfer instruction on your bank account), exchange house payments, etc. One has the option of setting this up for a minimum payment or full and sometimes a fixed recurring amount as well. Enquire with your bank and set up a payment instruction that will ensure you don’t miss a payment date.
Regular payments build one’s credit history well and allow banks to re-underwrite your credit lines periodically and automatically.
Balance Transfer - If you are incurring interest by not paying your credit card dues in full each month
Balance transfer in simple terms is moving debt from one credit card to another. If you are not paying the total outstanding and incurring interest on your statement balance, a balance transfer is a smart and easy method to save money on interest.
Balance transfers normally come with an interest-free offer period. This is a no brainer - it can help you save interest that you would otherwise end up paying on your current card for 3 to 12 months (and more in most cases), depending on the balance transfer offer period.
Example: If a cardholder has an AED 5,000 balance on a credit card with a 20% interest rate. Such a balance would incur interest of approximately AED 1,000 in a year. By transferring his credit card balance the cardholder can save on the AED1,000 of interest with only a small balance transfer fee instead.
Note:
Balance transfer does not earn you rewards on transferred debt.
Once you have transferred your balance to a low-interest card, do review the need of continuing to keep the high-interest credit card active. Any unnecessary spend on this open credit card can delay your payoff on the new card.
Defaulting on the new credit card might trigger a standard or higher interest rate as per bank policies.
Before you make the balance transfer move, do the math to ensure that you end up saving. Points to consider are Annual fees, Interest rates, etc.,
Change with the industry- Adapt to smarter payment methods
In recent years, banks have evolved and are continuously evolving in the digital space to stay updated and relevant to future customers. Smart payment methods have gained a lot of momentum and acceptance among UAE consumers.  Apple pay, Samsung pay are already common names and are quite popular.
These smart payments make the process seamless and are focused primarily on convenience and security.  While Apple and Samsung are already building the culture of adapting and shifting to newer technologies in the mobile space, one must be more adaptive and embrace future technologies to leverage the benefits available.
Takeaway
Credit cards are convenient and a popular payment method for purchasing products or services. While it is quite a privilege to flash a prestigious credit card from your wallet for a purchase, it is important to make sure that the credit card works best for you.
As a personal finance aggregator, Soulwallet has analyzed various credit card features and rated them to identify the best credit cards for each feature. Be it golf offers, complimentary airport transfers, valet services or even cinema offers, one can easily find the best credit cards with the ratings provided.

LoveHasWon Astrology Update~Saturn Direct: The Final Push 
LoveHasWon Astrology Update~Saturn Direct: The Final Push 
By Archeia Aurora of The First Contact Ground Crew Team 
Saturn will go direct on September 18th, 2019 after spending the last 5 months in retrograde. Saturn is the planet of “time”, karma, lessons and hard work. In traditional astrology, Saturn represents the Father. He is stern and seeks to teach us to be responsible, hard working, and disciplined, yet he is loving. He seeks for us to learn the consequences of our actions, thoughts and behaviors (Karma), and how we must be patient and disciplined (time) while releasing control over the outcome. 
Saturn is currently in his home sign of Capricorn, along with Pluto the planet of re-birth, and the South Node of the past. While retrograde, Saturn took us back to old wounds rooted in Capricorn that needed to be transformed and come up for release. These included our father wounds, abandonment, lack of self-love, control, and limitations. He has been testing for the last 5 months to see where we have been playing our our unconscious wounds, where have failed to support ourselves and have been looking for external love rather than internal. His question to us is, “do you get it yet?”. We are everything we need, love and support must come from the internal before it will ever be experienced externally. Old patterns were re-played and re-lived so we could come face to face with them. Now he is going direct and we are going to experience a real change of pace. 
For those that have understood the lessons and been brave enough to face the pain and look at where we have continuously abandoned OURSELVES, through self-criticism, judgment and abandonment. The truth is that most of humanity have deep father wounds. The Cabal created such a toxic masculine dynamic on the planet, most either did not have a connection with their earth fathers or they exhibited the toxic masculine traits: power over, control, aggression, rage, aloofness, lack of emotion, etc. 
We then sought outside ourselves to fill these voids. The father figure, the protector and provider was not there for us when we were children, so we tried to find it externally. We filled the void with materialism, stubbornly clinging to hold onto to power, money or possessions in order to make us feel secure or safe. Or, we sought for another being to make us feel safe and comforted. Both are forms of giving our power away. Our inner masculine is there to teach us that we are independent, sovereign beings of great strength, beyond what we can even fathom in these Earth vessels. 
This is why this transit of Saturn in Capricorn has been so potent, so heartbreaking and difficult. He has been crying out to us that WE are who we have been waiting for. We are the strength, we are the love, and we are the warriors. There is nothing and no one outside of us that we need except to stop abandoning ourselves. Our authenticity and our truth is what keeps us in our hearts and there, we are always taken care of. 
As Saturn turns direct we gain clarity on why we experienced what we did and the lessons that were being instilled in us. For those that failed the lessons again, they will get one last re-do as Saturn moves towards the South Node of the past. This will be a more intense and powerful lesson to be learned, but all paths are to be respected. We are moving towards the very talked about conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn in January of 2020 which will be an epic moment of history in this ascension. 
Pluto has also been in retrograde all year long and will go direct on October 3rd, 2018. Together, with Saturn and the South Node, these three planets are pushing us towards the greatest transformation and simultaneous crumbling of the old this planet has ever seen. This is the final collapse, the grand finale to all we have worked for. The message during the last 3 months of 2019 are DO NOT GIVE UP. It may feel like your entire reality is collapsing, every fiber of your being is exhausted and ready to lay down in surrender, but do not give in. This is the moment to gather every last bit of strength you have and push forward like you have never pushed before. Mother God, Gaia, Great Spirit is giving everything she has to push us past the finish line. Do not fail her, do not abandon her, but join her. 
Join her in strength, self-love, and courage. Be the Rainbow Warriors that have so long been prophesied as returning with White Buffalo Calf Woman. The ending to this story is already complete, Mom won, love won. It is only through our human perception we feel defeated and ready to give up. It is always darkest before the dawn, and on the other side of this final push is the greatest and grandest dream of loving coming true that we can ever imagine. 
We are going home.

Should I Help?
"Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way."  -- Swami Vivekananda
All of us are good at some things and less good at others. In the areas where you’re highly competent, it can be tempting to attempt to “help” and guide others, basically just because you can; if you’re empathetic, and you’re aware of the pain that’s involved in someone else’s struggle, it can also seem like you have an obligation to help. The call toward alleviating suffering where you see it may be part of your spiritual outlook, or you may enjoy taking the opportunity to save others time and shorten their labors with your expertise. This desire generally comes from a kind-hearted place, and it spurs many of us to do a lot of good in the course of daily life. But is it ever inappropriate to help?
I think the answer to this comes down to respecting the concept of free will. “Help” is actually helpful only when it is offered and accepted freely, generously, and without coercion. The exception to the rule might be if someone is in a state of emergency and you either know the person well enough to recognize a need that they are not capable of handling, or you can clearly see that they are in legitimate danger of serious injury. Children too young to be aware of the consequences of their actions would also be an exception. Otherwise, difficult as it may be to see others struggle, it’s generally not your job to override someone else’s choices and timing. Once you’ve made yourself available for substantive assistance, it may be necessary to step back and allow them to learn through experience if that’s what they choose. Some lessons only stick if they’re learned this way anyway, frustrating as that might be to the observer!
Most spiritual traditions include the concept of acceptance—not as in, you must accept a condition you don’t like and never seek solutions, but as in, it’s important to be able to find a place of calm and acceptance within yourself. This might be through meditation, prayer, deep breathing, a physical practice like yoga, journaling, or whatever works for you. If you formulate a plan and take action without having done so first, you risk making decisions from a reactive, fearful place, which is not the best state from which to deliver your best and brightest offerings. If a life-and-death decision doesn't not need to be made, and you don’t feel able to accept rejection of your help by the other person, then you might want to save the offer until you do. I also believe that there are times when it’s not appropriate to offer help because you are not capable of doing a good job with the task at that moment. If you are overwhelmed, very tired, or emotionally overwrought yourself, it’s probably best to attend to your own needs before trying to assist someone else. Another consideration is whether this particular person or situation seems like a good match for your skills and your passion. There is someone out there who would love to help in any given kind of situation, and leave the endeavor feeling wonderful and energized in some way. In other situations that same person would feel overwhelmed, frightened, and find themselves shutting down, becoming a burden themselves. It’s a good idea to get to know your strengths, and to consider whether this situation is one in which you can be helpful, or whether it requires skills and qualities you don’t possess. If someone needs a surgeon, and you’ve never had a day of medical training in your life, if you want to help, you need to spend your time in handling basic first aid and getting them to that surgeon—not trying to handle the situation yourself. Most people appreciate an offer of help when it comes from a calm desire to do them a good turn (even if there would be payment of some sort involved) rather than a need to have the offer accepted. When you bring a sense of distress and need into your offer, the person on the receiving end may feel that you’re trying to manipulate them, and run in the other direction! Then an opportunity that might have been rewarding for both parties is lost, at least temporarily.
On the other hand, if someone knows that you’re on the sidelines willing and waiting to help whenever they need it, that can be tremendously reassuring. When you don’t overstep or force yourself into their process, you become someone who will be very easy to turn to when the person is ready to accept help. In the meantime, you can just listen and celebrate the person’s wins, and still be a supportive part of getting them to the finish line. This can be quite challenging, and we may all become overzealous at times because of our own internal baggage; if you find that you have gone overboard, an apology and affirmation that you have faith in the other person goes a long way. Afterward it might be useful to take a look at why it was hard for you to remain calm in that situation, and do some work on that through Tapping or some other method you find helpful, to increase your ability to recognize that situation if it resurfaces and choose another way.
Helping others can be one of the most fulfilling aspects of living. It can be one of the best expressions of love for others, and it often brings joy and upliftment where there was struggle. Being able to be an effective part of this of wonderful exchange is worth some occasional work and self-reflection. Building your skills around balanced helping will bring you the opportunity for more frequent fulfillment of this kind, and the opportunity to co-create better results with others. Next time you’re looking to help, see if you can do so from a calm, centered place and notice what happens when you do.

Insys Therapeutics: The Company Fueling The Opioid Epidemic
By Kate Wills, Michigan State University Class of 2023
June 27, 2020
Tumblr media
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, more than 770,000 Americans have died from drug overdoses since 1999 – and 7 out of every 10 overdoses are due to opioids [1]. While this epidemic and its causes are multifaceted, it is undeniable that large drug companies manufacturing opioids have contributed to the problem.
Insys Therapeutics, a pharmaceutical company based in Arizona, has consequently received strict legal scrutiny for their role in the opioid epidemic. In 2012, the company embarked on an elaborate racketeering scheme to increase sales of their drug Subsys, a “rapid onset opioid approved to treat breakthrough cancer pain” meant only for a “small, crowded, and tightly controlled market” [2]. The Fetanyl Spray contained risks for “misuse, abuse, addiction, overdose, and serious complications due to medication errors,” and could easily be abused in the same way that other illegal opioids could [2].
The company’s top executives received their sentencing in January of this year – eight years after the initial scheme launched. John Kapoor, the founder of Insys Therapeutics received five and a half years in prison, while the former vice president of sales Alec Burlakoff, was sentenced to 26 months in prison [3]. These sentencings come after years of litigation and indictment hearings dating back to December of 2016.
Tumblr media
The initial indictment included many top executives of Insys Therapeutics, many of which held regional sales manager positions. The criminal violations of these individuals were extensive, including (but not limited to) racketeering conspiracy, mail fraud conspiracy, and wire fraud conspiracy [2].
Essential to Insys’s marketing scheme were licensed practitioners that would write large numbers of Fetanyl Spray prescriptions in exchange for company paying them off in the form of what Insys called “speaker program events” [2]. These speaker program events were hidden under the claim that they were peer-to-peer educational meetings discussing the Fetanyl Spray. However, many of these events “involved no education and no presentations,” involved the same repeat attendees who were mostly support staff of the practitioner with no ability to prescribe the drug, and were often mere “social gatherings at high-priced restaurants” [2]. In fact, Insys sales representatives were encouraged to pay practitioners to prescribe the Fentanyl Spray, and not worry about the speaking abilities of these medical professionals. Alec Burlakoff, the Vice President of Sales at Insys, told a representative that she need not worry about the communication skills of the practitioners – “they do not need to be good speakers, they need to write a lot of [Fetanyl Spray prescriptions]” [2].
Insys sales representatives tracked these professionals around the country and ranked them in groups called “deciles” on a scale of one to ten [2]. Those who wrote the most prescriptions of painkiller products were ranked in decile ten – these “high decile” practitioners were targeted by Insys’s sales team [2]. In addition to these identified high deccile practitioners, the Insys sales team actively recruited practitioners known to have shady prescribing habits, whose pain clinics were colloquially named “pill mills” [2].
Although these professionals were bound by their license from the Drug Enforcement Administration to “refrain from accepting or agreeing to accept bribes and kickbacks in exchange for prescribing any drug,” their duties were disregarded in pursuit of the luxurious promises Insys made [2]. The company sales team instructed practitioners to prescribe Subsys to patients without cancer, moving its purpose to all breakthrough pain –ignoring the constrictions of the FDA approval [2]. Theco-conspirator practitioners averaged as much as 11 Fetanyl Spray prescriptions per week, forgoing the drug’s approval solely for breakthrough cancer pain and prescribing it for non-cancer patients [2]. While they encountered risk for their unlawful prescriptions, payout was large for practitioners, at times reaching over $250,000 in checks for speaker events [2]. This partnership between Insys Therapeutics led to countless patients receiving prescriptions for highly addictive Fetanyl Spray and encountering all the risks that came with Subsys – without even needing the prescription.
Tumblr media
While the co-conspiracy with practitioners was essential to the scheme of Insys Therapeutics, the company’s criminal actions extended much further than handing out prescriptions to people who did not need them. Insys engaged in insurance fraud to receive payment for their drug. It was difficult for the practitioners’ offices to obtain prior authorization for Subsys, so Insys utilized their kickback program to assist their co-conspirators, gifting them support staff to fill out and fax authorization paperwork [2]. However, this was not enough for Insys Therapeutics – insurers and pharmacy benefit managers approved payment for only about 30-33 percent of Subsys prescriptions[2]. To solve this hiccup, Insys created a team to seek prior authorizations directly from insurers on behalf of patients – in the first week, approval jumped to 46 percent [2].
Tumblr media
The scam continued, and the Reimbursement Unit was created when need for help with insurance approval increased. This unit rewarded prior authorization approvals with bonuses for employees, setting a minimum threshold for the whole unit [2]. These employees were often given a script and list of best practices to use to gain prior authorization, including “false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises” [2]. The company tracked communication with insurers and pharmacy benefit managers to discover what phrases resulted in denial of prior authorization. They learned that phrases like calling “on behalf” of a doctor to act like they were calling from the doctor’s office, and to answer with a script when asked why the patient was being treated for breakthrough cancer pain when they did not have cancer [2]. By gaining prior authorization through deliberate manipulation of insurers and pharmacy benefit managers, Insys allowed countless patients access to a dangerous drug.
While the Insys Therapeutics executives involved in this scam have been sentenced in court, the greater picture this case presents cannot be ignored. It exposes the deep influence drug companies have in aiding the opioid epidemic, and the ability of these businesses to forgo the health of their fellow human beings in pursuit of profits. Insys is just one example of profit overcoming morality in the pharmaceutical industry – who will be next, and what will that mean for public health?

Pay Cuts End Up Being a Tool for Some Business to Avoid Layoffs
” Shared sacrifice” in the white-collar ranks aims to avoid the expense of staffing up again. Without any end to the crisis in sight, it is a leap of faith.
Tumblr media
Martin A. Kits van Heyningen, president of KVH Industries, chose to cut wages instead of lay off employees. “It was one of the hardest things I’ve done,” he said. Credit … Cody O’Loughlin for The New York City Times
Might 24, 2020, 5: 00 a.m. ET
It was late and Martin A. Kits van Heyningen feared he was letting the group down at the company he co-founded, KVH Industries. Instead of lay off employees in reaction to the coronavirus pandemic, he had actually chosen to cut salaries, and when he emailed a video describing his choice at 3 a.m. last month, he was prepared for a barrage of complaints.
Rather, he woke to an outpouring of assistance from staff members that left him elated.
” It was one of the hardest things I have actually done, however it turned out to be the very best day of my life at work,” said Mr. Kits van Heyningen. “I was attempting to keep their morale up. Rather, they kept my spirits up.”
Even as American companies let 10s of countless employees go, some companies are picking a various path. By setting up across-the-board income decreases, specifically at senior levels, they have prevented layoffs.
The ranks of those forgoing task cuts and furloughs include significant employers like HCA Health care, the hospital chain, and Aon, a London-based worldwide professional services company with a regional head office in Chicago. Chemours, a specialized chemical maker in Wilmington, Del., cut pay by 30 percent for senior management and preserved tasks. Others that handled to avoid layoffs consist of smaller sized business like KVH, a maker of mobile connection and navigation systems that uses 600 worldwide and is based in Middletown, R.I.

The pattern is a turnaround of standard management theory, which held that salaries were sacred and it was better to cut positions and dismiss a minimal number of workers than to lower pay for everyone during recessions.
There is typically a real desire to protect employees, but long-lasting monetary interests are a significant factor to consider too, stated Donald Delves, a settlement specialist with Willis Towers Watson.
” A lot has occurred in the last 10 years,” Mr. Delves stated. “Companies discovered the tough way that as soon as you lay off a lot of individuals, it’s expensive and time-consuming to employ them back. Employees are not interchangeable.”
A recent research study by the Conference Board with Semler Brossy, an executive compensation research company, and Esgauge, an information analytics company, found that 537 public companies had cut pay of senior management since the crisis began. The study did not define whether any had likewise cut jobs, nevertheless.
To be sure, if the crisis lasts longer than anticipated and the economy keeps diminishing, it is possible these salary reductions will not be enough to fend off job cuts. Other big corporations have cut wages along with tasks to stem coronavirus-related losses.
Still, the unexpected nature of the financial threat has actually developed a different mind-set amongst some managers than existed during the last recession, Mr. Delves said. Some business did try to cut pay instead of tasks back then, however the impulse seems more extensive now.
” What we’re seeing this time around is more of a sense of shared sacrifice and shared pain,” he included.
When the pandemic hit, HCA was increasing revenue and including staff members, stated its chief executive, Sam Hazen, “and to put them out on the street due to the fact that of some virus just wasn’t something I was going to do.”
With stay-at-home orders covering much of the nation and prohibits on optional surgical treatment in numerous states, HCA’s medical facilities were entrusted an income shortfall. The business suspended its share repurchases and quarterly dividend to bolster its monetary position, and it decreased capital costs.
Mr. Hazen donated his salary for April and May to an internal fund for employees in distress, while senior management took a 30 percent pay cut. White-collar employees at lower levels saw their payment reduced by 10 to 20 percent.
All in all, about 15,00 0 workers were affected, out of an overall of 275,00 0. The company does not expect the pay reductions to extend beyond June.
HCA likewise produced a pandemic pay program that enabled more than 120,00 0 nonexecutive healthcare facility staff members to get 70 percent of what they made before the virus hit. Workers, consisting of union members, are likewise being asked to pass up a raise this year.

” We needed our individuals to have as much comfort as possible,” Mr. Hazen stated. “Our culture is fixated taking care of our employees. This is a chance to additional differentiate our culture with our individuals and with our communities.”
Aon, with 50,00 0 workers worldwide, was a lot more aggressive about reducing salaries. Top executives there quit 50 percent of their pay, with a lot of remaining employees getting a cut of 20 percent.
” We wished to state no one would lose their task because of Covid-19,” stated Greg Case, Aon’s chief executive.
Mr. Case said he was heartened due to the fact that abroad employees, who had the right to turn down the income cuts, extremely accepted them. About two-thirds of Aon’s labor force is outside the United States.
However Mr. Case stated the business was bracing for long-term disruption. “The threat on the horizon is possibly much greater than 2008 -9,” he stated. “We are getting ready for situations that are multiples worse than that.” Aon says the requirement for the pay cuts will be reviewed monthly.
Preventing layoffs will leave Aon much better prepared for when the economy does rebound, Mr. Case said. “When clients need us most, we will exist,” he stated.
Definitely, for presidents and the highest-ranking officers, salary cuts are not as unpleasant as it would initially appear. That’s due to the fact that for many, the bulk of their settlement is available in stock awards, stated Amit Batish, supervisor of material and interactions for Equilar, a personal research firm that tracks executive pay.
” Incomes are a drop in the bucket for the majority of executives, however it does send the message that we are assisting the organization,” he stated.
Still, the fact that a few companies were able to avoid layoffs by minimizing salaries raises the question of whether more companies might have avoided task cuts in the last 2 months.
With federal government welfare offered for laid-off workers, lots of American business fasted to cut their labor force, said Kathryn Neel, a handling director at Semler Brossy. “In European nations, where wages were supported, they handled to keep more people on the payroll,” she included.
Sharing the pain more broadly in this manner might have avoided the joblessness rate from hitting its greatest level because the Great Depression while likewise better placing companies for the eventual recovery.
Firms that cut greatly in 2008 -9 were not all set when the economy eventually rebounded, according to Gregg Passin, a senior partner at the personnels seeking advice from company Mercer. “They lagged business that were more careful about cutting individuals,” he said.
A no-layoffs policy likewise builds loyalty. “No one wishes to be in a scenario where their salary is cut,” Mr. Passin stated. “However we really do think the way you treat workers today is the method they’ll treat you tomorrow.”

What are the signs of coronavirus?
Common signs include fever, a dry cough, fatigue and difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. Some of these symptoms overlap with those of the flu, making detection tough, however runny noses and stuffy sinuses are less common. The C.D.C. has likewise added chills, muscle discomfort, sore throat, headache and a new loss of the sense of taste or odor as signs to watch out for. Many people fall ill 5 to 7 days after direct exposure, but symptoms might appear in as couple of as 2 days or as lots of as 14 days.
How many people have lost their jobs due to coronavirus in the U.S.?
Over 38 million individuals have actually filed for joblessness since March.
How can I safeguard myself while flying?
If air travel is unavoidable, there are some steps you can require to secure yourself. Essential: Wash your hands frequently, and stop touching your face. If possible, choose a window seat. A research study from Emory University discovered that during influenza season, the best location to sit on an airplane is by a window, as people sitting in window seats had less contact with possibly sick individuals. Sanitize tough surfaces. When you get to your seat and your hands are tidy, use decontaminating wipes to clean the tough surface areas at your seat like the head and arm rest, the seat belt buckle, the remote, screen, seat back pocket and the tray table. If the seat is difficult and impermeable or leather or pleather, you can wipe that down, too. (Using wipes on upholstered seats could cause a wet seat and spreading of germs rather than eliminating them.)
Is ‘Covid toe’ a sign of the disease?
There is an uptick in people reporting symptoms of chilblains, which are unpleasant red or purple lesions that usually appear in the winter season on fingers or toes.
Can I go to the park?
Yes, but make sure you keep 6 feet of distance between you and people who do not reside in your house. Even if you just hang out in a park, rather than opt for a jog or a walk, getting some fresh air, and hopefully sunshine, is a good idea.
How do I take my temperature?
Taking one’s temperature level to try to find indications of fever is not as easy as it sounds, as “regular” temperature numbers can differ, but generally, keep an eye out for a temperature level of 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit or greater. If you don’t have a thermometer (they can be pricey these days), there are other methods to find out if you have a fever, or are at risk of Covid-19 problems.
Should I wear a mask?
The C.D.C. has advised that all Americans wear fabric masks if they head out in public. This is a shift in federal assistance showing new concerns that the coronavirus is being spread out by infected people who have no signs Previously, the C.D.C., like the W.H.O., has actually encouraged that regular individuals don’t require to wear masks unless they are sick and coughing. Part of the reason was to preserve medical-grade masks for healthcare employees who frantically need them at a time when they are in constantly short supply. Masks don’t replace hand cleaning and social distancing.
What should I do if I feel ill?
If you have actually been exposed to the coronavirus or believe you have, and have a fever or symptoms like a cough or problem breathing, call a physician. They ought to give you recommendations on whether you ought to be tested, how to get tested, and how to look for medical treatment without potentially contaminating or exposing others.
How do I get checked?
If you’re sick and you believe you’ve been exposed to the brand-new coronavirus, the C.D.C. advises that you call your healthcare provider and discuss your signs and worries.
How can I assist?
Charity Navigator, which evaluates charities utilizing a numbers-based system, has a running list of nonprofits operating in communities affected by the break out. You can offer blood through the American Red Cross, and World Central Kitchen has actioned in to distribute meals in major cities.

Chronic Lower Back Pain (CLBP)  Market Share & Size
DelveInsight’s ‘Chronic Lower Back Pain (CLBP) Market Insights, Epidemiology and Market Forecast–2030’ report delivers an in-depth understanding of the Chronic lower back pain (CLBP), historical and forecasted epidemiology as well as the Chronic lower back pain (CLBP) market trends in the United States, EU5 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and United Kingdom) and Japan.
Chronic Lower Back Pain (CLBP) Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) Overview
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is defined as pain that persists for 12 weeks or longer, even after an initial injury or underlying cause of acute low back pain. Low back pain is very common and at one point everyone must have faced this problem. Lower back pain that is long-term (for more than 3 months) is called chronic low back pain, this condition might originate from an injury, disease, or stress on different structures of the body, and pain may vary significantly and maybe felt as bone pain, nerve pain, or muscle pain. The intensity of the pain also ranges from mild to severe. CLBP is the second leading cause of disability worldwide being major welfare and economic problem. The prevalence of CLBP in adults has increased significantly in the last decade and is continuously increasing vividly in the aging population. This condition affects men and women in all ethnic groups equally. This disease also leads to stress, depression, and anxiety. CLBP affects physically and psychologically and creates a significant amount of economic burden due to loss of function, loss of work productivity, treatment costs, and disability payments.
The probable causes of CLBP are the curve of the spine, such as scoliosis or kyphosis, medical problems (fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis), and piriformis syndrome (a pain disorder involving a muscle in the buttocks called the piriformis muscle). Many people with CLBP have arthritis or tear of the spine due to heavy exercise, herniated disk, or due to surgery. A herniated disc is the part of the spinal disk pushed onto the nearby nerve. Usually, these disks provide space and cushion in the spine and the loss of movement can be seen as overtime if these disks dry out and become thinner and brittle. Spinal Stenosis is the condition that arises if the spaces between the spinal nerves and spinal cord become more narrowed.
Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) Diagnosis
The diagnosis and evaluation of CLBP are very important to reduce or to rule out the risk factors due to severe injury. The first recommendation is a thorough physical examination by a well-trained physician. CLBP testing may include blood tests, radiography (X-ray imaging), bone scans, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diagnostic injections, bone scan, electromyography (EMG), lumbar radiography, and many other specialized tests.

Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) Treatment
CLBP is the most prevalent chronic pain condition and the second most common cause of disability in the US, after arthritis or rheumatism. CLBP may be nociceptive or neuropathic or include both components. The presence of a neuropathic component is related to the more intense pain of longer duration, and a higher prevalence of co-morbidities. The actual mechanism and cause of CLBP are still unknown and due to this situation, there are no universally accepted treatment guidelines and the management of the treatment is limited. If the source of the pain is not known or can not be treated, the best option remains is to reduce the flare-ups and making the pain manageable with nonsurgical treatments. There are non-surgical treatments (physical therapy, diet, meditation, lifestyle modifications) Injection-based Treatments, pharmacologic treatments.
For some patients, CLBP can be relieved by single-agent therapy, but as both nociceptive and neuropathic mechanisms are often present, combining agents with different mechanisms of action is a rational approach Analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, and other medications can be used to help control chronic back pain. However, most come with unwanted side effects and are not intended for prolonged use. Opioid medication should not be used without a physician’s recommendation.
The use of non-opioid analgesics such as acetaminophen (APAP), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors for initial management for LBP. The use of muscle relaxants should be avoided in patients with CLBP. Treatment of mild CLBP often begins with the use of NSAIDs and mild non-opioid analgesics, while more potent opioid analgesics are reserved for the pain of moderate-to-severe intensity.

Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) Market Outlook
Majority of the low back pain is caused by a mechanical etiology, which includes a degenerative disc or joint disease, vertebral fracture, and deformities and occur in up to 80-90% of patients, while neurogenic, inflammatory, and other less common causes make up the remainder of etiologies. If the cause of low back pain is inflammatory in nature, targeted therapy includes treatment with anti‐inflammatory agents. This refers to early use of non-steroidal anti‐inflammatories (NSAIDs) and treatment with corticosteroids or disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. Additionally, these disease states have a higher incidence of neuropathic pain and thus may require adjuvant medications that target this specific pain type. Some patients with mechanical low back pain also have increased pain due to spasticity and may benefit from treatment with antispasmodics.
