Follow The Stars makes it three straight in Cardigan Bay Stakes
Mark Purdon won his eighth Cardigan Bay Stakes in 14 years when favourite Follow The Stars cleaned up in tonight's 2014 edition of the The Group One $100,000 Breckon Farms Young Guns Final at Alexandra Park.
Starting from the outside of the front row, Follow The Stars was fortunate to avoid the breakers inside him therefore leaving Purdon no option to avoid the breakers and patiently wait for Jonny B Good and Todd Mitchell to drag him into the race.
When Jonny B Good was started to fade Purdon pounced with the $2.10 shot and zoomed to the front at the 500m. From that point it was a matter of catch me if you can. They couldn't.
The Art Major colt won easily by 3-1/2 lengths and 1-1/4 lengths in 2:02.92 (mile rate: 1:56.3) with final 800m sprints of 58.3 and 28.6. Express Stride (Tony Herlihy - MNZM) was second, with Bettor Sprits (Philip Butcher) third.
Purdon also co-trains Follow The Stars with his partner Natalie Rasmussen.
"He's a nice colt and had to be good to win from the outside of the front line. I like him a lot. We will head to Australia with him now for the APG Series in Melbourne in April," Purdon said.
It was Follow The Star's third consecutive win since making his winning debut at Alexandra Park on December 13. He also won the $25,000 Group Three Sapling Stakes at Ashburton on February 14.
Follow The Stars is owned by Mrs G. J. Kennard, P. I Kennard, N. Pilcher, G. R. Douglas, P. J. Creighton, and Mrs M. C Creighton. He was bred by Lauriston Bloodstock.
The bay colt has now won $81,477
Past winners (and times) of the Group One Cardigan Bay Stakes Young Guns Final for 2yo colts & geldings have been:
2013: Cyclone Prince (Todd Mitchell) 2:04.6;
2012: Five Card Draw (Brent Mangos) 2:02.5;

A Community Devoted to the Preservation and Practice of Celestial Navigation and Other Methods of Traditional Wayfinding
From: David Pike
Date: 2018 Jun 17, 14:11 -0700
I know a number of our group have been looking for this rare mount. https://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-USAF-Kollsman-Square-D-Aircraft-Sextant-Periscopic-Type-D-1-W-Orig-Mount/332626950259?hash=item4d721c7873:g:fz8AAOSwAzJa2beU
Well spotted Gary. However, prospective purchasers should treat this sale with care. Look at the sellers other items for sale. From what's offered, the chances are he/she knows little about aircraft sextants. It's not WW2 because it's marked USAF, so it can't have been ordered before Sep47. However, the wooden case, as opposed to fibreglass and aluminium suggests it is late 40s or 1950s. The statement W/Original Mount is meaningless. The mounts were part of the aircraft; the sextants were either carried out to the aircraft by the crew, or if permanently stored in the aircraft, were swapped regularly for servicing. Moreover, the mount has sockets for aircraft power in and sextant power out at what voltage we know not, whereas the sextant appears to be meant for torch power which is more likely 3-4.5V. In fact, the mount is only the bottom half of the mounting; there's an extra bit, which joins the top of the bit shown to the aircraft skin. The top bit contains the shutter which seals the cabin when the sextant is removed. The bottom half joins onto the top half with just four screws. The missing top part joins onto the fuselage skin with 24 screws. My photograph below shows a slightly different bottom half, but you can see what the missing top part should look like. Also, you can see what the actual combo should look like here https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/sextant-aircraft-periscopic-d-1-kollsman-instrument-corporation . The fact that the top half is missing doesn't really matter if you're only going to screw the mount onto plywood for ground use, but it does rather take away the authenticity. If you're intending to use it through a shed roof or a caravan, then it's not really suitable, because the rain will leak in. Despite their rarity, it's worth waiting for a better mount than this.
This is a bubble model, so you'd need to ask questions about whether the bubble's still there and adjustable. The chances are the seller will then claim to have no specialist knowledge. Mainly though, the price asked is extortionate. You can get nicer sextants and mountings than that one for a lot less if you're prepared to wait. Even if I was really anxious to buy it, I wouldn't pay more that $100 for the sextant and $50 for the half mounting. DaveP

The Environmental Protection Agency has asked the Heartland Institute, a D.C.-based rightwing think tank that denies the human causes of climate change, to help identify scientists to join the agency's so-called red team-blue team effort to "debate" the science of climate change, according to the Washington Examiner.
The move is part of EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt's efforts to undercut established climate science within the agency. In an interview with Reuters earlier this month, Pruitt suggested the possibility of creating a red team to provide "a robust discussion" on climate science and determine whether humans "are contributing to [warming]."
The Heartland Institute offers a model of what the EPA red team might look like. Their contrarian Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change — often referred to as a red team — publishes regular volumes of a report called "Climate Change Reconsidered."
Heartland communications director Jim Lakely told the Washington Examiner the red team exercises to critique climate science are necessary "to critically examine what has become alarmist dogma rather than a sober evaluation of climate science for many years." But, as many scientists and experts have noted, the peer review process for scientific publications already requires and facilitates rigorous examination.
For years, the Heartland Institute has spread misinformation about climate change and attacked the credibility of climate scientists. In 2012, the group launched a billboard campaign with the photographs of Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomber), Charles Manson, and Osama bin Laden, saying those men "still believe in global warming." Heartland's website at the time declared "the most prominent advocates of global warming aren't scientists. They are murderers, tyrants, and madmen."
More recently, the group announced plans to send a report titled "Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming" to every K-12 teacher and college professor in America. The report incorrectly denies humans' contributions to rising global temperatures.
Pruitt has adopted much of the misinformation that Heartland promotes. Since being confirmed, Pruitt has continued to question the science behind climate change and repeated climate denier talking points claiming that humans are not the main contributors to a warming planet.
And Heartland experts have already had an active role in Trump's administration. Dan Simmons, currently an assistant to Energy Secretary Rick Perry, is still listed as an author on Heartland's website. Myron Ebell, a noted climate denier, led Trump's EPA transition team and has written several pieces opposing climate policy for Heartland.
Heartland has received funding from several fossil fuel companies, though it no longer publicly discloses its funders. In 2012, leaked documents from the group showed the group received contributions from the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, among others. It has also received funding from ExxonMobil to support work to refute the human causes of climate change.
Last month, Heartland announced former Kansas congressman Tim Huelskamp will become president of the organization. During his political career, Huelskamp's top donor was Koch Industries, and he received more than $250,000 in campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry. Koch Industries and the Koch family foundations have been one of the biggest funders of organizations that deny humans' role in causing climate change and oppose policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
It remains to be seen who will staff the EPA's red team. NYU professor Steve Koonin, a scientist who formerly worked with both BP and the Obama administration, is reportedly the top contender. In 2014, Koonin wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed detailing the ways in which climate science is not settled, which included the extent to which humans are causing climate change, a now-frequent talking point among Trump administration officials.
In April, Koonin published another op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, suggesting that a Red Team/Blue Team would be "a step toward resolving…differing perceptions of climate science."

Eric and I have always had one thing in common...
We both love to travel.
When we 1st started dating, we talking about traveling everywhere.
Both of us were lucky as kids that our parents took us everywhere.
My 1st plane ride was at 5 years old to NYC & he's been to most of the US.
We've definitely passed the travel bug onto Bella, because she asks all the time when we're going on another vacation.
In a little over a month we'll be traveling to one of our favorite vacation spots... South Padre Island. Or for our fellow Texans, SPI!
I've blogged about going there numerous times & we seriously all 3 look forward to it every year.
It's a total family vacation with all of Eric's family where we lounge around,
soak up the sun all day long,
grill during the evenings
let the kids run wild most of the night until they wear themselves out.
One night Eric & I will go with our brother & sister in law and have an adult night out which honestly ends up being the best time!
There's just something about vacations that we can't get enough of.
The sand, the sun, the not having to work all week, it all is amazing!
So here's to days we'll always remember,
Nights we'll never forget,
And vacays that last a lifetime in our memories!

Jan 2011 - June 2011
Are you finished with most zone updates?
I noticed you're making additions and changes to subzones. I would focus on finishing all the major zone updates before worrying about specific subzones. If you're done with the zones, then nevermind. Also, I would focus on contested subzones over faction dominated ones. Don't focus too much on the Alliance subzones, they are more likely to get other user updates. Horde zones and subzones tend to be more neglected. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 4:23 PM PST 7 Jan 2011
- What I'm doing right now is zone--->subzones (alli & horde)--->npcs--->quests, then moving on to the next zone. I was originally going to do each group separately, but the way I'm taking notes from the game it's just easier and quicker overall for me to do it this way. If it ends up that I'm not hitting the main zones quickly enough, though, I may well end up going back to my original schedule. Raylan13 (talk) 02:21, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

MediaWiki upgrade to 1.16.1...
Could you please update WoWWiki:Upgrades with any info you know about the MediaWiki 1.16.1 upgrade. Also, please change MediaWiki:Community-corner and MediaWiki:Communitymessages-notice-msg to notify users of upcoming slowdowns or other known issues. Having things randomly get slow and getting message about not being able to save changes is not very friendly if we can be otherwise warned about it. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 3:18 PM PST 20 Jan 2011
- I'll pass this up to someone who knows more about what's happening.
- I've been told that the hiccups over the past few days had to do with SMW. So far as I know, those changes have been rolled back until they can figure out the problem. 1.16.1 hasn't been implemented here yet, but hopefully an ETA will be coming so a heads-up can be given to users. Once we've got that, we can update those pages. It likely won't be for a little while yet, so if an ETA isn't given by Monday I'll do some digging and see what I can come up with.

Something else
Hi Raylan13. It was pointed out to me by a friend I'm showing up as "Demoted" on WoWWiki:Administrators. I'm guessing that's Fandyllic childishly seeking some kind of revenge or something. In any case, I was revoked my admin rights by my own request and belong in the first "By request" listing.
While I'm still logged in there, I'd like my userpage blanked out and/or deleted. It's been broken since ages with the new layouts anyway, but for some reason it's still protected and I can't touch it. Cheers Adys 00:26, February 7, 2011 (UTC)
- Fandyllic was reworking the admin page to reflect how things currently stand; though I can't speak directly for him, I'm positive no ill will was intended. As I can see your admin capabilities were removed by your request as you say, I'll go ahead and make that change to the admin page, provided Fandyllic hasn't seen this message himself. I'll also unprotect your page so you can blank it out/delete it. My apologies, and please let me know if there's any other way I can help. Raylan13 (talk) 01:13, February 7, 2011 (UTC)
- Ah - I saw the log and thought "basically requested it" meant he had asked to be demoted, not that he had done something to deserve demotion. I'm not entirely clear on the details, but you were obviously here long before me. I'll forward him to you if there are any questions about the matter. On a (slightly) unrelated note, shall we make our new admins official or should we wait a little longer to promote them? Raylan13 (talk) 18:19, February 15, 2011 (UTC)
Promoting admins
Let me send out another MediaWiki:Community-corner update. I want to get at least a few comments from the community before we promote anyone. If you want, you can ask Bubsy87 and Servian if they want to be made moderators in the meantime. I'm perfectly okay with that. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 21 Feb 2011 10:53 AM Pacific
- Sounds good to me. I'll send them a message on their talk pages. Raylan13 (talk) 19:10, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
Polls feature update!
Good evening!
We've just enabled an upgraded version of polls here :) (Feign surprise)
It's separate to the old
<poll> extension (which will continue to exist for some time), and works a little differently. Since the rich text editor isn't enabled here, you can use Special:CreatePoll to create them. Polls themselves even have their own pages, and are included on pages like templates:
If you or your users have any issues or thoughts about it, please don't hesitate to let me know - user talk page, Skype, Special:Contact all work. As you're essentially getting an early preview of the feature, you can announce (or not) it to the users as you desire. (Also posting this to Fandy). Kirkburn talk contr 19:49, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
Lets promote Bubsy87 and Servian...
Well, it looks like we've waited long enough for comments from other members of the community and they either don't care to comment, are too shy, or don't have any disagreements. It's been about a week since I sent the announcement requesting comment on admin nominations.
If you want to wait longer for comments, I'm fine with that also. We can ask Bubsy87 and Servian what they want for their description on the WoWWiki:Administrators page in anticipation of their promotion, even if we want to wait. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 3 Mar 2011 1:14 PM Pacific
- Sounds good to me. I agree that we've waited long enough for any naysayers or otherwise to voice their opinions. I'll bump them to admin if you want to leave a message on their pages about what descriptions they want. Raylan13 (talk) 21:25, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

We need to change the focus of our updates
I was exchanging messages with Grynd, the primary admin at WoW Answers and he was upset that I switched the link templates from pointing to Wowpedia back to WoWWiki. I tried to explain to him that WoWWiki was comparable, but from his perspective, we're not. From the examples he gave me, I tend to agree with him.
Here's the problem. Alot of our work is focused on replicating information that is already easily accessible at places like Wowhead. We need to focus on information that cannot be easily replicated at a DB. This means pages that synthesize info from DBs or come from empirical observations or research in-game.
Here are some example pages of comparison between us and Wowpedia that Grynd showed me:
As you can see our pages are pretty bad, if not terrible.
This sort of comes around to my previous concern about updated info on old content and for low level areas. While important, it really isn't what most of our users are probably looking for.
I wanted to run this stuff by you before I brought in Bubsy87 and Servian. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 10 Mar 2011 6:42 PM Pacific
- Grynd is female. Her name is Sarah. That is all. Rappy 05:40, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
- Special:Mostvisitedpages/latest should give you an idea what should be updated. Which is mainly class builds, boss tactics and macros Servian (talk) 12:49, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Not a problem. I'll see if they have anything above and beyond the page that Servian pointed out. I'll post here if it isn't anything spectacular or identical to what we have. If it's a better list, though, I'll throw it into a forum post. Get back to you by the end of the day at the latest.
- Turns out what they have access to is identical to what that page lists, so we can go by that. Raylan13 (talk) 22:35, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
Reason for removing refs?
Just curious about why you removed the ref here: http://www.wowwiki.com/index.php?title=Elwynn_Forest&curid=14048&diff=2484829&oldid=2484783
I checked the RPG book and it is correct. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 11 Mar 2011 7:31 PM Pacific
- It looked like the refs were the same as the ones cited in the 'source' section of the box, which was the Lands of Conflict. Looks like it should read p.47-49, rather than 48-49, though.Raylan13 (talk) 04:07, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, I guess the sources part was filled in incorrectly. See {{Infobox zone}}. Even if it doesn't look so clean, it's usually best to leave refs unless you know they are wrong. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 13 Mar 2011 8:29 PM Pacific
Battlegroups page
I didn't really know the reason for the fancy headings on the Battlegroup page, but I didn't want to take the time removing them. I guess the US rated battlegrounds list is a tedious, but valid source. Since it filters by players and not specifically by servers, to thoroughly go through it to confirm the WoWWiki list was correct would be painful.
Good catch on the RBG list. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 14 Mar 2011 9:35 AM Pacific
Fan art
Fan art is okay for articles, if it is good (albeit this is a matter of opinion) and is properly credited and licensed. Stuff may have been put on talk pages as proposals or because they weren't properly licensed or credited. We've been pretty loose about improperly licensed images on user pages or subpages, but the solution isn't really to remove it from those pages, but to delete the image.
Does that answer your question? I will think about some fan art guidelines. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 29 Mar 2011 10:36 AM Pacific

Thank you for the tips, Raylan - I had been fishing around looking for layout templates or the like and didn't have much luck. I figured somebody would catch me up anyway, as you have done.
It's frustrating not finding the information one might be looking for, with all these post-Cata changes that haven't been completely caught up yet. I figure if I'm in a position where I can at least throw it into a Talk page, somebody more used to the style here has a starting place.
Is there an NPC/questgiver format I can model-after? One of the quests is written up, but not the Dwarf giving it.
Thanks again,

- Glad I can help! When starting a new page, if you look across the top (above the white space you edit), there will be a list of boilerplates, essentially some templates that you can click on and the format will be preloaded. These include: Ability, Item, Mob, NPC, Quest (use Quest: prefix), Talent, API function, and Player Character. A full list of such boilerplates and help articles can be found here as well - WoWWiki:Boilerplates. A list of templates you might use within an article can be found here: WoWWiki:Templates.
- Another option is to look at pages that have been successfully created, as when I referred you to the "Inhabitants" section of Astranaar. There's nothing wrong with popping open a page, lifting whatever markup you need from it, and then editing it to serve your purpose.
- I've been meaning to look at the boilerplates and make them more user-friendly, if need be, as well as updating the templates page. Being relatively new to page creation yourself, I would be very appreciative of any input you might have, if you'd be willing. Raylan13 (talk) 14:39, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
- Aha, 'Boilerplates'! I couldn't find the right term. Sometimes I miss things right in front of my nose, too.
- I skimmed the Templates earlier - perhaps there might be more practical examples of how to use them when. The list templates are also a little confusing, as there's two versions out, one with an automatic icon (I think) and one where it's noted manually, like Astranaar. Some kind of note or list of 'preferred formats' as opposed to 'previous still functional formats' (a star marker, perhaps?) might be useful.
- I've not always found good model-afters. For example, there's stuff in the Wetlands that's got post-Cata changes, and a new quest monster. I'm not sure how to update the original quest page, nor even what to call this monster, since it's not a Rare. (I do have some good pictures saved - on the PC that's not booting up at the moment. :( I think I might have got them up on Picasa, though.)
- The Girl Genius Wikia has my fingerprints all over it, so you can see I'm a kind of compulsive Wiki-ist. I just need to learn the style over here better.

Hey again
Well, i was looking at the Humanoid tab trying to find a Troll, because as i was flying over The Hinterlands (Jintha'Alor) I noticed a Large, un-troll like troll creature. I am asking you this, is there anywhere on WoWWiki that there is a listing for this breed of troll? if so, please add Ongo'longo to it

Help.... Me.... Ongo'Longo was a Flop. if I find something else, ill try again. I now have a newfound respect for your job
Thanks a ton, i made it look GOOD! Shows how much accidentally deleting a }} can do to your whole page! Hopefully now i can stop bugging you, and soon, i will be making pages with the best of you!

- I don't think you need a battle.net account to get tickets. Now at position 62 with 16% of stock left, whatever that means. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 8 Jun 2011 7:08 PM Pacific
No tix for me. Sold out and I never moved farther than position 62 in the queue. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 8 Jun 2011 7:13 PM Pacific
- Yeah, same here - went in at 66 and got sold out at 11 (sigh). Still waiting on other avenues - I'll keep you posted when I get news. Raylan13 (talk) 02:15, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Midsummer Bonfires, Alliance
I'm new t this, please forgie any improprieties.
I was going to further tweek the changes to the Kalmidor route for the Bonfires page, and I noticed that not only is that section missing, some one else tromped all over my changes.
Could you please take a look and share some observations?

Fires Page
Thank you for your kind response. I hope that this is the right place to respond to it. I ask some questions here so that I may learn general Wowwiki policy. I would direct other questions to the Fires discussion page -- if I knew how to find it. If any or all of these points belong elsewhere, I would like to repost them there.
- For what it is worth, you did not edit my changes. You editted the changes of the person that replaced my changes.
- I assume that Wowwiki rounds coordinates to the nearest unit. So be it. In general, I will try to honor the Wowwiki style. And I know that some of my stuff lacked explanation, To be honest, I was just trying to get the information in there on the fly and leave the clean up for later. While that may be sloppy and even unprofessional, I liked being able to use the Wowwiki functionalty to verify that my entries were accurate. Is there some sort of sandbox I should use?
- One thing I put in was routing; eg fly West from one flame to get to the next flame. I know this makes the page longer, but I think it will shorten the task completion, especially when traveling between zones. As such, I would reinsert those instructions (and add them for Kalmidore).
- Picking up the flight master in Surwich in Blasted Lands creates a shortcut from Booty Bay to Nethergarde Keep. While it would not be worth adding this FP for just this achievement, I suspect that it would be worth adding this FP for other seasonal achievements, such as Tricks and Treats of Azeroth.
- I started my routings in Stormwind, since that's where most alliance toons are hearthed these days. From there, Goldshire, Darnasus, and the Dark Portal are the most convenient entry points for the respective continents. Keeping those starting points will allow players to complete dailies and visit trainers between continents. It also eliminates the travel from Aerie Peak to Theremore Isle. I do not have any Horde toons, so I cannot easily help with their routing,
- I do prefer to tailor routings to a reasonably minimal set of abilities; flying (Flight Master's License), flight points, and hearth set to SW, While mages, engineers, death knights, druids, Uldum veterans, and ome guild members have other routing possibilities, I wouldn't make large changes on their behalf. Perhaps we could add notes such as mages can teleport to Exodar now. or alternate; set hearth in Aerie Peak and grab Ghostlands, Eversong, and Silvermoon now. But that can be hard to write clearly and concisely. Perhaps the solution is to divide each continent into separate sub-runs; such as defining the Northern Tail as Ghostlands, Eversong, and Silvermoon. This would make it easier to suggest alternate routes (" alternate; set Hearth in Aerie Peak, complete the Northern Tail, and hearth to Aerie Peak "). It may also make it easier for readers to picture the route in their heads.
Hoping this is not too much,

The girls' softball team had an extra incentive to score runs this year: With every run they scored, the Lady Lions raised more money for a Roselle-based cancer support organization called Phil's Friends.
At their end of the year banquet, its founder and two-time cancer survivor, Phil Zielke, was on hand to accept their check for $2,254 and share his inspirational story with players and their families.
"For most of us this was the best part of the service project," says Cecilia Kaiser '19, co-captain, "because we could see how our hard work would affect others."
Before the season even opened, Cece and her co-captain, Maggie VanValkenberg '19, met with Coach Scotillo to discuss weaving in a service project during the season.
"Phil's Friends' mission hit especially close to home," Cece says. "I've known people who have beaten cancer, and I know how much strength they possess. I also know how difficult it is when they try to go through it alone. Phil's Friends ensures that no one battles cancer alone."
Zielke was first diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2004 and it returned in 2005. He endured many rounds of chemotherapy and radiation as well as a stem cell transplant before finally beating it. In looking back on his journey, Zielke points to the care packages, encouraging cards, and the outpouring of prayers that helped him make it.
He started the organization to bring hope to other cancer patients, through those same types of tangible efforts. In 2009, Zielke left his teaching career to devote himself full time to the organization. Within months, he opened Phil's Friends Hope Center in Roselle.
The Lady Lions drew pledges for every run they scored, with the hopes of enabling more cancer patients to received care packages, cards, and prayers.
"On days where we played a tough team and didn't score any runs, supporting Phil's Friends was a driving force for us to work harder," Cece says. "On the day we scored 12 runs, Coach Scotillo said that Phil's Friends would be happy about our successful day."
At the end of the season, the players realized they had come together more as a team while working for the charity.
"Coach Scotillo has always believed that coaching is about more than just the sport," Cece added. "Phil's Friends' message of hope and overcoming obstacles was a perfect lesson for our team."

FINAM Corporation in Chile is a branch of the Women's World Banking (WWB). The WWB network serves more than twenty million entrepreneurs in twenty-eight countries worldwide, the vast majority of whom are women. It is the largest global network in terms of the number of clients it serves and is the only organisation that offers credit and other financial services specifically to low-income female entrepreneurs.
FINAM corporation is a non-profit organization that provides, particularly to women, information, strategic support and technical assistance and information to micro-finance institutions and banks that offer credit and other financial services to low-income entrepreneurs. The mission statement of FINAM Corporation is "to expand the economic assets, participation and power of low-income women and their households by helping them access financial services, knowledge and markets."
FINAM Corporation came out of an initiative from the United Nations World Conference on Women, held in Mexico City in 1975 that coincided with the International Women's Year and to mark the start of the "UN Decade for Women" (1976–1985). FINAM Corporation was established in Chile on July 28, 1988 as a Non-Government Organisation (NGO).
FINAM Corporation understand that economic independence can reinforce women's rights, enabling them to make choices about their own education, opportunity and well-being. Providing small loans and other financial services to poor women entrepreneurs helps in the fight against poverty. The goal is "To reach women who have been bypassed by the traditional banking system and to bring them into the economic mainstream."
Research has revealed that granting women micro-loans has a long-lasting impact on the wider population, giving women autonomy and a chance to participate in public life. Statistically, women have also be found to invest much more of their income in their families and communities than men, to include health care, education for their children and home improvement. The model of the woman entrepreneur as the foundation of household and community stability in their particular culture is a fundamental basis for the micro-finance business model and a guiding principle behind FINAM Corporation in Chile.
Products and Services
Over time, FINAM Corporation has diversified the products they offer beyond credit. These now include savings products, insurance, housing and home-improvement loans and more flexible loans for individuals and particularly in Chile, rural entrepreneurs.
FINAM Corporation in Chile now also offer advice and technical assistance to include market research as well as financial advice. The Microfinance Information Exchange (MIX), a non-profit organization that provides business information for the micro-finance industry, highlights FINAM Corporation, Chile as achieving high outreach and low transaction costs while being both profitable and transparent.
FINAM Corporation works hard to ensure that women do not lose out in access to micro-finance as institutions grow. It holds onto the concept that access to financial services brings a measure of stabilization to the otherwise precarious lives of the poor. Women's empowerment is harder to measure than economic change, but is as important when measuring success.
Financial activity
FINAM Corporation in Chile is small, with just one office in Santiago with eighteen personnel, 8 of whom are loan officers. Their latest figures from MIX, for the year ending 2014, show a gross loan portfolio of 0.53 million dollars and assets of 0.51 million dollars (down from 1.09 in 2011). Liabilities are currently 0.26 million dollars (down from 0.43 in 2011).
The number of active borrowers in 2014 was 1590 who borrowed a total of 0.25 million dollars. The portfolios at risk have risen between 2011-2014 from 21 percent to 46 percent and the write-off ratio has also jumped in the same period from 8.80 percent to 17.49 percent.
Percent allocation money management (PAMM)
PAMM describes a software application that allows clients to attach money to a specific trader managing one or more accounts. PAMM allows the trader on one trading platform to simultaneously manage an unlimited number of managed accounts. Depending on the size of the deposit each managed account has its own ratio in PAMM. Trader's activity results (trades, profit and loss) are allocated between managed accounts according to the ratio.
A PAMM system allows more money to be brought into play while distributing the risk of one trader across multiple investors.
