Here's another reason for you to eat walnuts. A study showed that there are health benefits of walnuts for diabetes.
Even just a small amount of walnuts could already provide impressive effects to your health, especially if you're at risk of suffering from diabetes.
Although walnuts are high in calorie content, the benefits far outweigh the negative effects of the nuts' high-calorie content.
The participants in a study have seen a great improvement in their bad cholesterol levels (LDL). 1
The researchers also saw an improvement in the participants' blood vessel function. However, the nuts didn't have a significant impact on the participants' blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
However, researchers said that poor functioning of blood vessels and having high levels of LDL are usually associated with diabetes.
This means that eating a handful of walnuts each day could eliminate these two factors that could have led to this life-threatening condition.
[msg type=default]What are walnuts made of?[/msg]
They're made of various nutrients and one of them is the omega-3 fatty acid. They're also high in vitamin E, calcium, zinc, and iron. All of them are beneficial to your overall health.
The high-calorie content is one of the reasons many are still reluctant to eat walnuts. Even if they know the health benefits of walnuts for diabetes, they don't like the fact that this nut contains 619 calories per 100 grams.
That said, will they encourage weight gain? Will their potential to cause extra weight to patients eliminate their benefits?
According to the said study, they found that the participants did not experience any weight gain. In fact, they did just fine despite the extra calories coming from walnuts.
Then again, their body fat did increase compared to those who have eliminated calorie sources.
Because of the health benefits of walnuts for diabetes, it's worth it to remove a significant source of calories. Replace them with nutrient-rich nuts, like walnuts.
In addition to eating walnuts, what other natural ways you can do to prevent diabetes?
[msg type=success]Reduce your high-sugar food intake[/msg]
It's true that your body needs carbohydrates for energy. However, not all carbs are good for your body.
The best carbohydrates to prevent diabetes are complex carbohydrates. They're low in glycemic load, thereby, maintaining a stable level in the blood.
With a low-glycemic load, it can have a great impact on diabetes prevention.
[msg type=success]Eat the right fats[/msg]
Some forms of saturated fats can promote inflammation that may result in insulin resistance.
Oleic acid, on the other hand, has an anti-inflammatory action that may reduce your risk of insulin resistant. That said, the key element to preventing diabetes is to use olive oil as your main source of fat and combine it with omega-3 fatty acids intake.
[msg type=success]Get moving[/msg]
It's also important that you exercise regularly. Remember that muscles are the main organs that absorb glucose. With that in mind, regular physical exercise can improve your sensitivity to insulin while ensuring your body with stable blood glucose levels.
[msg type=default]Conclusion[/msg]
Even though walnuts are high in calories, you still can't take the fact that they are useful in preventing diabetes. Walnuts may be high in calories. But they're very satiating allowing you to control your appetite.
So, eat a handful of walnuts per day.

About the Strong Athletic Official Full Length Racerback Tank Black with White Ink
The words "Strong Athletic Official" are printed in bight white on a vintage black Next Level Women's Tri-Blend Racerback Tank. The Strong Athletic logo is printed on the front and the back.
The design of this shirt is based on the original "Strong Athletic Woman" design created by Cristen Perks. This shirt is screen printed by hand in Austin, Texas by Amanda at the Artist's Screen Printing Coop.
The tank has a scooped neck collar in the front. The back is the "racerback" design, which means that the material exposes much of the back as it cuts in between the shoulder blades, and if worn by someone wearing a traditional bra will show the bra straps. Please refer to the sizing chart, found under images, to ensure that you order the correct size.

The Airlords of Han
Philip Francis Nowlan
The Airlords of Han, the sequel to Armageddon 2419 A.D., continues the adventures of Buck Rogers, the famous sci-fi adventure hero of early comics and radio shows. Originally published in Amazing Stories in 1929, in the 1960s this novella was later combined with Nowlan's original piece and re-published under the title Armageddon 2419 A.D..
In it Buck Rogers and his wife, Wilma Deering, lead Americans in a conclusive battle with the evil Han Empire. The story reflects the "Yellow Peril" mindset at the time of its writing, and successfully predicts many future technologies, including bazookas, night-vision devices, and paratroopers.

Google honored the late Les Paul on his 96th birthday today with what our colleagues at The Atlantic are already calling "the coolest Google Doodle ever"--a playable version of Paul's classic Gibson electric guitar, complete with a record button. Using it was easy, save for one Atlantic Wire writer, who will remain nameless: all you had to do was roll the mouse over a chord and start strumming. While our compositions were little more than a single chord plucked repeatedly, some of the 30-second covers we heard today were remarkable. Here are our favorites.

The reputation of being number one in 2017 will always be remembered as AOC is dedicated to deliver the best products in different price ranges and applications.

Not only have they done that they have also sought to brief the press on the matter as well.
This is daft. I do not care a jot why they have written to Sir Michael, or in fact that they have, but what sets my blood boiling is that they chose to make their dissent public in a very damaging way.
As the leader in today's Telegraph, headlined "These foolish letter writers":
They have not learned one of the most glaringly obvious political lessons: the only outcome of division is disaster.These MP's probably come from safe constituencies and obviously do not give a stuff about less safe seats or target seats and obviously do not want to get into government.
There is much discussion on this on politicalbetting.com of which there are some priceless quotes, one from Punter:
I heard Cameron on radio today. Although recorded before news of the letters, I bet he knew of them. He certainly didn't sound like a man who was going to roll over. In fact he sounded far more steely than I've ever heard of him. Crucially also I think Andrew Mitchell a key member of the Davis sensible right faction also came out swinging in support. I think this grouping and the Cameroons are now essentially joined at the hip, at least in the view that the Leigh tendency poses a mortal threat, and that whatever differences they have that grouping needs to be slapped down and slapped down so hard they never get up againAnd this from Stonch who is a little left of center (and writes about beer here):
Cameron is the first Tory leader since 97 to succeed in leading Labour in the opinion polls. He led his party to a result in the local elections not even the most fervent of Tories believed would happen.These troublesome letter writers need to be dealt with and fast. Their constituency associations need to have a word. Private dissent is fine, public dissent like this ensures defeat.
Cameron and his crew have made one massive mistake, and it's coming to a head now - they believed their own propaganda. Gordon Brown is not a bumbling, mentally retarded wierdo. He's a cunning politician who has bided his time for years and clearly wasn't going to come unstuck immediately upon assuming office.
However, the Brown bounce will wear off. So the Tories lost two by-elections? Yes it makes Cameron look foolish - his own fault. But they were always going to lose them, and there's everything to play for going forward.
If Brown had the balls to call an autumn election, he'd almost certainly take a narrow majority and have a rough time ahead. If he doesn't, I suspect the pendulum will swing back and forth in the months and years to come, and he won't be certain of a fresh mandate. That's what normal politics is like, we should embrace it.
If David Cameron is challenged by any of these head banger right wingers, the rest of the party should boot them out. I don't like Cameron at the moment because the homogenity his inner circle scares me and I think he comes over as two-faced, but even I can recognise he's the right leader for them at the moment - and anyway, he's all they've got.
Lets not have a one party state, people.

From the paper that brought us "Why Can't We Hate Men?" comes this (Washington Post, 1/18/19). It's written by former New York Times journalist Andrew Yarrow and verges on the excellent. It's not excellent for reasons I'll go into later, but it gets close. Yarrow gets close to "getting it."
Unsurprisingly, Yarrow calls himself a liberal, but he means that in the classic sense.
Helping all people in physical, socioeconomic and psychological distress should be a defining characteristic of a humane, caring and democratic society.Like any true liberal, Yarrow extends his morality, his sense of right and wrong, his empathy, not just to currently politically correct groups, but to everyone. And when that demands that he care about the issues men – even white ones – face, he accedes. That also means that he criticizes progressives for their "wokeness" that coincidentally excludes half the population.
Millions of American men are disconnected from work, children and family; are in poor physical and mental health; suffer from addiction and isolation; and struggle with what it means to be a man. Yet most progressives — who claim to care about all of society's underdogs — seem to assiduously avoid these issues. Instead, their main concern when it comes to men is that too many men remain wedded to "traditional" notions and norms of masculinity…
The very phrase "men's issues" conjures up images of bitter, angry white guys who stupidly don't realize that they are oppressors and on top of the world. In the era of #MeToo, men don't have problems; they are the problem.Indeed, we've just seen the American Psychological Association do exactly that in lockstep with the misandry that's taught in seemingly every college and university in the land.
Unlike the preponderance of the current public discourse, Yarrow grasps the obvious.
[T]he fact that women remain victims in many ways does not negate the reality that many men are struggling and are victims of economic and cultural changes — ones that often also hurt women, children and society. Men are not a monolithic group, and it is not a zero-sum game in which men win and women lose (or vice versa)…
These men on the sidelines of American life are of all races, places and classes, and include millennials, better-educated late-middle-age men and former prisoners.Yarrow doesn't shrink from delving into the many deficits that plague the male half of American society.
The data on male well-being tell a bleak story for a large minority of American men. About 20 million men have abandoned work (or work has abandoned them), as the male civilian labor force participation rate has fallen from 85 percent in the mid-1950s to 69 percent in November (and this excludes 2 million incarcerated men). Median inflation-adjusted income for all U.S. men was just 1 percent higher in 2017 than it was in 1973, and incomes for about 80 percent of men have stagnated or declined. About 8 million to 10 million fathers never or rarely see their minor children — and most of those fathers are not "deadbeats."
Young adult males have higher poverty rates than their counterparts 40 years ago, and 25-to-34-year-old men are significantly more likely to live with their parents than women their age. Twice as many men than women are hardcore gamers. Compared with girls, boys have more behavioral problems and lower average academic achievement, and they are much less likely to graduate from college. The millions of formerly incarcerated menhave few prospects for a decent life.
Health and mental-health problems among men are increasing: Life expectancy, which remains stagnant among women, is declining among men. Males bear the brunt of opioid overdoses and alcohol addiction. Suicide is three and a half times more common among men than women. Many men are lonely or disengaging from society, as membership in unions and organizations that foster male camaraderie, such as Rotary and Elks clubs, has cratered.That doesn't get close to exhausting the list of ways in which men get the short end of the stick in today's United States, but readers possessed of hearts and minds will get the picture. The problems are deep and serious and any society that pretends to the liberal tradition will not ignore them. Yarrow rightly excoriates both the Left and the Right for their willingness to ignore real problems that debilitate not just men, but society generally.
Many on the right have drawn attention to men's problems — some thoughtfully, but more often to bash feminism and women. Many on the left are silent because they are implausibly unaware of such issues or, more likely, less willing to highlight them because doing so would be deemed politically incorrect.True, all true. The Post and Andrew Yarrow have done the right thing. They've demanded of liberals that liberal morals, liberal values must apply to men as well as everyone else. Anyone who fails to do that simple thing can't call him/herself a liberal or, for that matter, a decent, compassionate person.
But Yarrow needed to say a lot more. Right as his article is, it lacks a lot. More on that next time.

Philippine central bank to move to interest rate corridor system starting June 3
[MANILA] The Philippine central bank will make the transition to an interest rate corridor (IRC) system starting on June 3, in a move to improve monetary policy transmission to the broader economy, senior officials said.
Operational details would be given later on Monday, the officials said. Under, the IRC framework, the overnight lending or repurchase window will serve as the ceiling and the special deposit account rate (SDA) as the floor of the rate corridor.
The key overnight borrowing rate will be in the middle. "We are making transmission of monetary policy more effective," Diwa Guinigundo, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas deputy governor, said.
The corridor "has to be sufficiently narrow to provide effective guidance to market," Zeno Abenoja, a director at the central bank, told a media briefing, but he reiterated the changes will be policy neutral.
Central banks in Asia's emerging markets are introducing new policy tools to get lenders to cut borrowing costs and make credit flow more quickly through their slowing economies.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at email@example.com
In setting the corridor, the BSP will likely cut the overnight borrowing rate to 3.5 per cent from 4.0 per cent, while the lending rate will be reduced to 4.5 per cent from 6.0 per cent and the SDA rate kept at 2.5 per cent, said Nicholas Mapa, economist at Bank of the Philippine Islands.
The influence of the main overnight borrowing rate will be reinforced through the term deposit auction facility, which will be used to mop up liquidity in the banking system to guide market rates closer to it, officials said.
The auction will be conducted once or twice a week and will offer 7-day and 28-day term deposits.
On Thursday, the central bank, expecting economic growth to remain strong after the country's leadership change, kept its benchmark interest rate steady at 4.0 per cent, where it has been since September 2014.

Corey Moss hosts, talking with AV people about AV+ things.
The AV Person: Jan Sandri – President at FSR, Inc.
What is the +?
The FSR Story
The story begins:
Back in the day when no computers graced our desks, cell phones weren't imagined, Selectric Typewriters were the hottest office gear, and women were wearing hot pants, I met Bill Fitzsimmons. A job interview in a Clifton, NJ restaurant, where 3 martini lunches were the norm, I was hired as Bill's Admin at the ITT Avionics Division in Nutley, NJ. Bill was head of PR and Advertising (with a BS and MS in Physics, and an MBA in Business). He was dynamic at the job (putting on the best parties ITT has ever seen), but always loved to create. Tasked with doing a large Division presentation to Geneen (then head of ITT Global), we went to Charles Rodriquez, owner of AV Services, at that time an AV Rental Company. Bill was planning on using several slide projectors (remember them), and needed to dissolve and fade images. Charlie said, "there is no equipment that will do that." Bill replied, "I can make those in my basement!" He did, the presentation was remarkable, and Charlie went back with several dissolve units to put in inventory.
Corey talks with Jan about the beginnings of FSR, the AV industry at the time, how many women were involved, along with the current state of the company.
Jan also talks about her close friend Cory Schaeffer, their relationship, and continued efforts for industry improvement and women's advancement in AV. Jan and Cory received the Women in AV Award at InfoComm 2014.

Anyone can get in touch with St Aidan's or St Leonard's to find about having their child baptised (christened).
During a christening your child will be baptised with water. It's the start of an amazing journey of faith for your child and a special day for all your friends and family.
We are sure that your child is precious to you and precious to God. You want the very best for them, and so does God!
Part of this is wanting them to make right choices in life, for themselves and for others.
A christening is just the beginning of this and so much more.
Over the years to come, it's a journey you'll share together with your child by:
- Being there for your child to talk to about the bigger questions of life – questions about hope, faith and love.
- Praying for your child through the ups and downs of their faith journey.
- Showing them practically how to make those good choices in life.
- Helping them to learn more about their Christian faith, through their church and in other ways.
So it's a commitment to start as you mean to go on.
To help parents reach the right decision about Christening we invite all those enquiring about Christening to come to our Young Church. This is where you can experience a different kind of worship designed especially for the needs of Parents with young children. It involves crafts and games and refreshments. This is followed by an informal act of worship.
Young Church happens Every Sunday in term time in St Aidan's Church Hall.
It begins at 6pm and ends at 7pm.
If after sampling some of our worship and meeting us you would like to take things further, you will be invited to one of our monthly Preparation Meetings at St. Aidan's Church. This is where we can have a longer more detailed chat about your options and talk through the different things we can offer including a Thanksgiving Service for the Gift of a child and Christening.
Our hope is that this will provide more information for parents as they prepare to take a big step in their children's lives.

Fred Meyer Hat, Scarf and Gloves
Jones New York Wool Coat (thrifted)
J.Crew Wool Sweater (consignment)
Old Navy Old Sleeve Tee
H&M Fake Leather Pants (consignment) (layered over thermals)
Acne "Donna" Boots (ebay)
Not a terribly exciting outfit but I love a thick wool sweater over leather pants (real or fake) and my leather pants are usually a lot easier to wear over thermals than jeans are. These H&M pants are a consignment buy from last winter but I've worn them quite a bit and they are great - I wear them just as often as my real leather pants and these have held up well. As a bonus, they are way easier to clean! This Jones coat is an old thrifting find and is one of my warmest coats, it doesn't come across in pictures just how heavy and thick it really is - I think it's the heaviest wool coat that I've seen in a long time. It's also loose enough in the arms and shoulder that I can layer a long of sweaters under it which is really important for staying warm. I love the look of slim cut winter pea coat but for another lower than 20 degrees, they don't really cut the mustard nor can you layer that many things under them. If you're looking for a winter coat, remember to buy one loose enough in the body and arms that you'll be able to layer. A good fit in the shoulder is important however, you want the fit in the shoulders to be reasonably close to want you would normally wear or it's going to look really off.

Big Blind special
Poker Glossary
The big blind special is a term referring to when the big blind wins a hand with a very bad starting hand because he saw the flop for free. When nobody raises the big blind, the big blind is able to see the flop without having to call a bet. Since the big blind's hand is random, he'll often have a realy bad hand like 38 offsuit. This player sometimes ends up winning the hand by hitting a lucky flop. For example, the big blind has 7s2h and everyone else limps in. The flop is 7d7h2c, giving him a full house, and almost certainly the best hand.

When knitting a raglan sweater or a cardigan, the question is how to calculate the raglan increases or decreases so that the upper part of the garment fits the body perfectly.
The joining of the raglan shoulders should be a line that is formed by the decreases from the armpit to the shoulder. We need to know how many stitches to increase or decrease in how many centimeters to make that calculation. Generally, 1/3 of the number of stitches of the back piece (or front piece for sweaters) is decreased within the row number obtained by dividing the measurement of the shoulder in centimeters by 2. Once we have the number of stitches to be decreased or increased in a certain number of rows, we make a scheme and start the process.
Raglan Decreases for Sweaters – Down to Up
I knit sweaters with 4 main pieces: Back, front and two arms. Once the point where the decreases begin is reached, all the raglan lines should progress in the same way. We are talking about sweaters here, but this method works for any raglan garment such as cardigans, pullovers or jumpers, too.
- Since the back and front pieces have the same width, take 1/3 of that width for women's sweaters. For men's sweaters, I prefer to leave more stitches in the middle. Therefore, the middle part should be 1/3 + (5-10) stitches. For example, let's say we have 90 stitches for the back piece. For a women's sweater I would divide them as 30-30-30. However, for a men's sweater I would divide them as 25-40-25.
- There are two ways of measuring the length of the decreases. I prefer measuring the arm at the point closest to the shoulder (upper arm), adding 5-6 more centimeters and dividing that number by 2. For example, if the measurement of your upper arm is 50 centimeters, you can take 60 centimeters as a reference (if you want tighter arms, add 3-4 cm, not 10) and note the length as 30 cm.
Another alternative is to vertically measure the length from the point where you stopped to make increases to the horizontal middle of your shoulder (where you want the seaming to be). After that, use your gauge to calculate the number of rows you need to reach that length.
- We have the number of stitches we need to decrease and how many rows we need to decrease them for. Since we need to decrease the same number of stitches in the same rows which correspond to each other in back and arm pieces, we need to make the scheme here.
Raglan Increases for Sweaters – Up to Down
I generally prefer making sweaters with seams since the seams provide a more intact look and high durability. However, some patterns require knitting up to down; thus, our raglan decreases become raglan increases. For up to down garments, especially if you are newly adjusting to this method, the most important thing to keep in mind that the stitches must increase. This may sound odd; however, for a knitter who is used to working with raglan "decreases", a careful calculation is essential.
- Once you finish with the neck part of the sweater, count your stitches and divide them with the little knitting pins. Remember that, the number of stitches you leave for arms should be the same and, if this is a sweater, the number of stitches for the front and back parts will be the same.
- Remember our 3 parts from the decreasing calculations? We will use that again. Now, the number of stitches we left in the middle will be the starting point. We will increase 3 times that number. For example, if we need to have 90 stitches for the back piece, we need to spare 30 stitches for the back piece for women. For men, we need the middle part to be wider; therefore, we spare 40 stitches for the back piece.
- Since this is settled, we can place the little pins. For example, let's say we started with 80 stitches and made the neck as we like. At the first round of raglan increases, we place a marker on the first stitch and assign a piece to that. Let's say we are starting from the middle back. The 80 stitches will be divided as follows:
Back: 30 stitches
Left Arm: 10 stitches
Front: 30 stitches
Right Arm: 10 stitches
- Starting from the marker (the middle of the back) knit on 15 stitches, place a marker, knit 10 stitches, place a marker, knit 30 stitches, place a marker, knit 10 stitches, place a marker, knit the remaining 15 stitches of the back. We have a total of 5 markers.
- Now, we can measure the length until the point where we will separate the arms from the body, calculate the number of rows using the gauge and make our scheme.
Making the Scheme
The scheme is very important for me when making such calculated and delicate increases and decreases. The stitch counters work well while you are knitting on straight, however; for the increases and decreases, you need your pen and paper to mark each of them. Otherwise our carefully made calculations will not give the result we desire.
For both methods of knitting, we calculated how many rows we need. Firstly, we make a list by writing the numbers from 1 to the desired number of rows. Let's consider an example that we make increases or decreases in 35 rows.
We have our list now. Let's add decreases or increases. Let's say that we need to decrease 50 stitches (25 decreases in each side) in 35 rows. For the raglan line to be smoother, we need to spread the decreases to the rows as evenly as possible. Since we need to make decreases in 25 rows, that will leave us 10 rows which we will knit straight. I will denote the rows where we do not make increases or decreases as S.
Notice that I followed a pattern here. It goes as two rows with decreases and one straight, three rows with decreases and one straight. Try to make patterns such as this one so that the increases or decreases will look smoother. Now, let's complete the scheme. I will denote the rows with increases as D.
Our chart is ready now. You can use a highlighter to mark the rows you finished or put a checkmark on them. This way it is very easy to follow decreases in increases.
Some Warnings and Tips
We know that raglan increases and decreases look very good on our sweaters, jumpers, cardigans, etc. We just need to be careful about some points while making them. Here are some suggestions which I have experienced and learned from my knitting projects:
- Write down every detail while you are making calculations and write them in an organized way. Most of the time, I plan a raglan cardigan or sweater and take the pen and paper closest to me to write down the numbers. Later, I lose it or get confused with which number is for what. Do not make that mistake. Carefully write the numbers and what they represent. Moreover, if you are like me and work on more than one project at a time, name the projects so that you do not mix up the numbers of various projects.
- Don't start decreasing from the first stitch. The first stitch is a little complicated. Some knitters do not even knit it and pass it on from one needle to the other. Therefore, it is not very reliable. When making decreases, knit at least the first two stitches and decrease the 3rd and 4th. This way, your seaming will look smoother and it will be easies for you to follow what you have done. This is not an issue for top-down projects since they are worked as round. For others, leave that first two stitches alone.
- The decreases must be the same for all pieces. Whether you are making a sweater, jumper or a cardigan, the separate pieces should be decreased with the same fashion. Remember our scheme? You need to use it for each piece. Since, you need to make decreases in the same rows of all pieces. If you are using the scheme, make as many copies as your pieces. Use separate copies not to get things mixed up.
These are the methods I use and know, and the tips and tricks I learned along the way. If you have anything to add, correct or discuss, please feel free to contribute.

Many or all of the companies featured provide compensation to LendEDU. These commissions are how we maintain our free service for consumers. Compensation, along with hours of in-depth editorial research, determines where & how companies appear on our site.
Sometimes a few months or a year can be just enough time to repay a small business loan, but for many small businesses, high rates and monthly payments can make short-term loan repayments close to impossible.
Fortunately, some lenders offer long-term small business loans, which give borrowers the opportunity to repay the loan over a longer period of time (typically up to 25 years).
With lower monthly payments and usually good rates, this lending model often provides business owners with a more effective means to finance debt and growth when compared to equity investments.
Long-term business loans certainly do exist but if you're hoping to score one, you'll need to have an established business (i.e., no startups or new businesses) and have good business credit.
There are a variety of lending institutions, both traditional and non-traditional, that offer long-term financing, so it's always best to review all your options, including those offered by your chosen banking institution. However, there are a few lenders that consistently top the charts, and those that follow are known to offer competitive rates, flexible terms, quick access to funds, and positive customer feedback.
On this page:
3 Companies Offering Long-Term Business Loans
LendingClub is a peer-to-peer lender that offers business owners the capital to finance a variety of activities. The application process is known to be quick (within minutes), and funds are typically available within a few days.
LendingClub offers approved borrowers 1- to 5-year loans for $5,000 to $300,000 at fixed rates between 5.99% and 29.99% based on creditworthiness. For many, these rates are higher than those offered by SmartBiz, but this may be an option for those who do not qualify for an SBA 7(a) or are looking for a bit more flexibility in how they spend the funds.
To be eligible for a business loan through LendingClub, you must be in business for 12 months or more, be able to show at least $50,000 in annual sales, and own at least 20% of your business. Applicants must have at least fair personal credit or better (630 or above), and those with recent bankruptcies or tax liens will be denied.
Funding Circle
In many ways, Funding Circle, another peer-to-peer lender, combines many of the best features of SmartBiz and LendingClub, offering business loans that are fast, flexible, and affordable.
Funding Circle offers both short- and long-term loans, with six-month to five-year terms available. Loan amounts range from $25,000 to $500,000, making them the lender with the highest limits, though they don't have the longer terms available from LendingClub and SmartBiz.
The application is standard and takes about ten minutes. A decision is made within 24 hours. If approved, borrowers can expect to receive an interest rate between 4.99% and 26.99%.
To qualify for a long-term loan through Funding Circle, the applicant must have a credit score of 620 or higher and be able to show a minimum of two years' worth of business tax returns, one year of personal tax returns, and six months of the most recent business bank statements. Additionally, applicants must complete a business debt form, a personal guarantor form, and additional documentation as requested.
You can see a specific comparison of LendingClub and Funding Circle here.
SmartBiz offers 10- to 25-year Small Business Association (SBA) 7(a) loans from $30,000 to $5,000,000 with interest rates that typically range between 6.50% and 8.75% (interest rates are based on the prime rate plus 1.50% to 3.75%).
The application process is quick, and funds are typically available within seven days of approval. SmartBiz only approves applications for businesses that are within SBA-approved industries, a list of which can be found on the SBA site. Further, applicants must be able to show that the business has been operational for at least two years, is based in the U.S., and is owned by a U.S. resident or lawful permanent resident who is 21 years of age or older.
Further requirements are based on the type of loan, and a full list of requirements can be found on the SmartBiz site. However, applicants for Working Capital and Debt Refinance Loans must have a personal credit score above 650, and applicants for the Commercial Real Estate Loan must have a personal credit score above 675.
Final Thoughts
Long-term business loans can be a great way to finance important business growth, including hiring staff or purchasing new equipment. And though they often carry lower rates and more manageable payments, it's important to know that they are often reserved for those with good or excellent credit. For that reason, long-term business loans may not be the best for new businesses or those with a troubled credit history.
Another thing to keep in mind is that long-term business loan lenders often include specifications as to how the funds are used, which can make them less flexible than other borrowing opportunities. Further, a long-term loan is a long-term bill (i.e., it can represent a reoccurring bill for several years), and as such, borrowers should keep that in mind when determining if long-term loans are the right decision.

Adventure Bound onthefly is On the Way
By Jann Wiswall
With one big move, John Rounds is on a mission to bring year-round adventure and introduce some new trends to Ellicottville and beyond – far beyond.
Born and raised in Ellicottville, Rounds has been around the world pursuing outdoor adventure, both on his own time and with sporting goods companies. Now he's bringing his product expertise, business acumen and marketing savvy from Colorado, where he runs SUPonthefly, an online specialty retail outfitter of outdoor, paddle sport and fishing gear, to Ellicottville where he will soon open the brick-and-mortar Adventure Bound onthefly store.
The store is located at 16 Washington Street in the building that once housed his parents' original Adventure Bound store for 20 years until it closed in the 1990s.
The store will not only sell top-of-the-line outdoor equipment, fly-fishing gear and accessories, but also will be distributing Rounds' new, very own brand of inflatable stand up paddleboards (SUPs).
SUPs originated in Hawaii as offshoots of surfboards. They have been popular there and in much of the U.S. for many years, attracting fitness lovers, competitors, river tourists, fly fishing enthusiasts and family fun-seekers to the straightforward but challenging sport. They're used on rivers, lakes and oceans and one of the latest trends is SUP yoga.
Indeed, Rounds says, "stand up paddleboarding is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. It's time it got to this part of the world where we have a huge selection of fantastic rivers, lakes and ponds."
SUPs can be hard (made with lightweight carbon) or inflatable. The SUP onthefly brand is an inflatable style that is highly portable, packable and storable.
"With an inflatable, you don't need a roof rack on your vehicle, nor do you have to build a storage shed for it. You deflate it and toss it in the trunk and just store it in a closet," he says.
Still, the style is a matter of preference and intended use (not to mention lively debate), so the store will sell both styles and several brands in many lengths and widths and it will be the world headquarters for Rounds' SUP onthefly brand, which will be available through the store's website.
Of course, you'll be able to try out a SUP before buying. The store will be sponsoring demonstrations on a nearby lake for beginners and experts alike to 'test the waters' with different styles, and may also provide rentals.
Of course, Adventure Bound onthefly will be a full-service outdoor store with a wide range of quality equipment and clever gadgets for everyone interested in the outdoor lifestyle. Brands include: Yakima roof racks; Osprey backpacks and luggage; Swiss Army knives and Victorinox watches; Nite-Ize lighting and lifestyle devices (described by Rounds as "way cool stuff"); YakAttack fishing gear; MSR backcountry stoves and tents; Bison coolers; Ruffwear performance dog equipment; and more. There will also be a children's department with technical clothing and action-inspiring toys.
Rounds points out that 85 percent of the brands he'll carry in his store do not exist elsewhere in town.
"They're unique to the area, so we're not competing directly with other Ellicottville shops."
Of the utmost importance to Rounds is having in-store expertise and superior customer service, and he has found that in a long-time friend and colleague, Stephen Wilkinson, who is moving from Michigan to manage the store. Wilkinson has 25 years experience in the outdoor equipment business and is the perfect person for the job, Rounds says. Wilkinson's wife also will work with the company "behind the scenes."
"Our attention to customer service will always be 'live' in the store," says Rounds. His wife Christy also will work there when they're in town for big weekends and events, and he'll be looking for additional staff with particular outdoor expertise in the near future.
Adventure Bound will be sharing space with Ellicottville's The Boardroom snowboard shop, which will open its second EVL location on the lower level of the Adventure Bound space. It will be open during the winter season only, giving each the opportunity to showcase their products in the unique, high-traffic setting at the center of the village.
So why did Rounds choose Ellicottville for this undertaking?
"Of course, I grew up here, so it's home. Plus there's the family history. But I've traveled all over the world and there just aren't a lot of places like Ellicottville," Rounds said.
From a business perspective, "it's near a lot of bigger cities and it draws people from all over the east coast, Midwest and Canada, not to mention farther afield, so it's a great place to introduce a new sport and business." And, he added, the space was going to be rented sooner or later (the building is owned by Rounds' mother Heidi Widger), and likely would have been divided into several storefronts.
"My business perfectly fits the space as it is, so it just seemed like an appealing opportunity that I might never have again."
Adventure Bound expects to be open in time for Fall Festival weekend. To stay up-to-date with their progress and special grand opening promotions, follow them on Facebook at AdventureBoundonthefly or visit www.adventureboundonthefly.com.

Some surprising good health news this week from an equally surprising quarter, Russia. I looked at the news again. Russia?
|A different side to Moscow ... The wicked old city has been cleaning up its acts. Photo by Nikita Karimov on Unsplash, and many thanks to Nikita and Unsplash.
Yet who would expect to hear that the he-men Russia were actually drinking less?
The surprising news is not that the amount consumed is down by five or ten percent.
Almost half
It's down by 43%, which if my maths is not too far out, is almost half.
Russian he-men are boozing only half as much as they used to? Tell it to the ….
Even here, where smoking has lost its cool and become very down market, there's nothing to discourage householders from puffing away on their balconies, if the weather agrees and they happen to have a balcony.
Diners are banned from smoking in eateries over there, too. Can you imagine a Russian restaurant where half of them aren't smoking?
It left me wondering about that mysterious society who apparently send alleged tourists to the city of my birth to poison defecting spies.
The formerly insignificant trading outpost of Moscow began to flourish and became a relatively safe place to live.
Perfectly on timeThen perfectly on time, the excellent Delancey Place email today brought some Russian history into our lives.
Moscow, it revealed, stopped being an insignificant dorp thanks to a spot of old fashioned capitalism.
Some nasties called Mongols expected tributes from the little township. Mongols weren't the sort of louts who would accept an old fashioned cold shoulder.
Realising it, local aristocrats collected the funds the Mongols demanded and handed them over.
Little pleases a capitalist as much as having their palms crossed with dosh, and – surprise surprise, reports A Short History of The World by Christopher Lascelles, which Delancey Place was featuring today – the Mongols warmed to the 14th Century settlement.
When money changes hands
The formerly insignificant trading outpost of Moscow began to flourish and became a relatively safe place to live.
It does seem that when money changes hands, religion may not be far behind, and the Russian Orthodox Church transferred there from the ancient town of Vladimir.
Did capitalism make Moscow the spiritual capital of Russia? But until this morning's Delancey email, who would have imagined Moscow as any sort of religious centre?
Of course, until this week's news, who might have imagined a new state of relative teetotalism and widespread snuffing of smoking over there either?
Thanks very much for visiting the mostly Tuesday and Thursday blogs for my adventure book, Sailing to Purgatory, which are introduced each time on Facebook Facebook dot com/Sailingtopurgatory and on Blogger,
