It is usually best to pay off the credit card balance each month to avoid interest payments. |
Cards with high interest rates will mean high interest payments on outstanding monthly balances. |
Paying off a credit card balance with larger monthly payments will greatly lower interest payments and result in the balance being paid off much more quickly. |
Brittney Griner had a pretty average game last night against Florida—by her standards, anyway—when she finished with 25 points, nine rebounds, six blocks, and four assists during Baylor's 76-57 win. But she also did something that was definitely not average when she threw down a dunk at the start of the second hal... |

The Human Rights Commission welcomes the appointment of two new Commissioners, announced today by Justice Minister Andrew Little. |
• Professor Paul Hunt has been appointed the Chief Human Rights Commissioner. Professor Hunt will the join Commission in January 2019. |
• The new Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner will be Dr Saunoamaali’i Karanina Sumeo. |
Acting Chief Human Rights Commissioner Paula Tesoriero, who agreed to take on the role on a temporary basis, remains as the Disability Rights Commissioner and will continue to act as Chief Commissioner until Professor Hunt takes up the position. |
Ms Tesoriero says she is looking forward to working with the new Commissioners who will bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the work of the Commission. |
“The new Commissioners are highly qualified and bring a wealth of experience to their work. Their appointments are an exciting opportunity to build on what’s been achieved by the Commission and to continue our work of helping create a fairer, more harmonious society,” Ms Tesoriero says. |
With Dr Sumeo joining the Commission in late October, the current Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Dr Jackie Blue’s term will end later this month. |
Ms Tesoriero thanked Dr Blue for continuing in her role after her term ended in June until the new Commissioners were appointed. |
• Disability Rights Commissioner Paula Tesoriero took over as the acting head of the Human Rights Commission on 25 May 2018. |
• Ms Tesoriero agreed to take on the leadership short term following Chief Human Rights Commissioner David Rutherford’s decision to leave the Commission at the end of the financial year in June. |
• Mr Rutherford had been Chief Human Rights Commissioner since 2011 and his term expired in 2016. He had indicated his intention not to seek reappointment. |
• Ms Tesoriero, who was appointed Disability Rights Commissioner in late 2017, will be acting Chief Human Rights Commissioner until three new Commissioners, including a new Chief Commissioner, are appointed. |
• Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Dr Jackie Blue’s term expired in June 2018. She had indicated that she would not be seeking reappointment. However, she agreed to continue in her role until new Commissioners were appointed. |
• Race Relations Commissioner Dame Susan Devoy’s term expired in March 2018. She also did not seek reappointment and left the Commission at the end of June. |
1A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on i... |
7Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurl... |
13When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of ... |

The Germans offered a peaceful and civilized solution to the territorial problem – a referendum was to be held in the disputed areas [Danzig corridor – OR], which would resolve all the problems. If the inhabitants of what was known as the “Corridor” decided their lands should return to Germany, Poland would receive a r... |
A 1933 German map of the lost regions titled “Poland’s triumph over Wilson: the incorporation of Pomerelia in Poland”. |
On March 21, 1939 the Poles drastically changed their attitude toward the German proposals. That same day, the Germans purportedly presented Poland with an ultimatum: they must immediately hand over Danzig and the “Corridor” to Germany. But that was not true. The Germans did not suggest anything new to the Poles on tha... |
That was easy to explain: as soon as Hitler demonstrated the audacity to deal with the Slovaks and Ukrainians differently than he had been instructed, the tenor of British politics immediately changed. And after that, the “independent” Polish gentry also changed their tone. On that day, March 21, 1939, Great Britain “s... |
This was a completely about-face in Poland’s diplomatic position. They had made it clear to Hitler that Poland would no longer negotiate with him and that she was fully prepared to defend her position by force. And in order to remove any lingering doubts for Berlin, the Poles pursued a series of decidedly hostile actio... |
These were the actions of a country that had a nonaggression pact with Germany! This was the very same Poland that only a week ago was considered the primary partner in the Führer’s future eastern campaign! But Hitler was compelled to postpone that campaign once Poland responded by announcing a partial mobilization. An... |
It was absolutely clear to Hitler that Germany could not leave her hinterlands exposed to Poland, a nation being directed from London and which was obediently following all orders received from the British. The same Polish “roadblock” that was cutting off his eastward route had now whipped around to hold a knife to Ger... |

The Silk 700 was one man’s lifelong ambition; to revive the glory that was once Scott motorcycles. |
Alfred Angus Scott was a Victorian visionary who almost single-handedly invented the large capacity two stroke motorcycle, then went off to do something odd with sidecars. |
Some 60 years later, George Silk took the canted forwards, deflector piston, water cooled, two stroke engine concept and applied it to the 1970s touring market. It almost worked, but rocketing petrol prices and new emissions laws pulled the plug on the high quality Silk 700 before it got going. Great idea, wrong decade... |
Long ago, bikes were manufactured in the North of England. Marques like Phelan & Moore made Panthers in Cleckheaton, Dot were in Manchester, Scott´s smoked out of Shipley . This is the story of last roadgoing big capacity two stroke manufactured in England; Silk of Derbyshire. |
Like many stories from the pioneer days of motorcycling, this is all about one man´s vision; a dream of taking on the world´s best manufacturers with a truly unique design. It was remarkable that even as the mainstream British bike makers like Norton and Triumph were sliding into bankruptcy during the 1970s, a small ba... |
If you have an interest in how bikes are made, and in particular the weird cult of the two stroke engine, then the Silk story is one that will fascinate you. It is also a typical British tale of the underdog, struggling to succeed against all the odds. |
The Silk 700 was one man´s passion, a lifelong dream to re-invent the yowling Scott from his youth. George Silk had restored many 596cc twin cylinder, water cooled Scotts for classic enthusiasts and after a successful performance by a `Silk Special´ at the Barbon Hill Climb in 1970, he started low volume, handbuilt man... |
Why Scott ? Well Alfred Angus Scott was a Victorian visionary who designed a sort of prototype Yamaha 350LC back in 1908. With a canted forward 323cc engine, featuring a water cooled upper cylinder block and fuel efficient deflector type pistons, all set in a lightweight cradle frame, the bike dominated road racing so ... |
Sadly, the Scott never really developed its full potential, especially after Alf Scott himself went off to make a strange sidecar contraption called a `The Sociable ‘ in the early 1920s. Scott´s finally ceased bike production in the 1950s, when anyone not making dull four stroke singles was on a sticky wicket in the UK... |
The 1970s Silk project was a 653cc updated version of the basic Scott twin cylinder power unit, set in a beautifully crafted steel tubular frame made by Spondon of Derbyshire, who also provided the forks. |
George Silk, backed by a Kendal based company called Furmanite, started serious production in 1977, right in the midst of the OPEC oil crises and petrol ration books of the era. It wasn´t a good time to sell a two stroke, especially a handbuilt machine which retailed for £1,984. Sounds peanuts now, but a new 1977 Suzuk... |
But the Silk was essentially, an update on a very old engine design, and unlike the Yamaha RD series, or Kawasaki KH triples, the Silk had no race pedigree, and it was marketed as a gentleman´s tourer, which was its great undoing. |
In those days, UK bikers aged 25 plus were a bit thin on the ground and young riders hadn’t much hope of raising the £2,000 asking price. However, the Silk 700S was produced at the rate of two machines a week from the Darley Abbey works in Derbyshire in the late 1970s. Customers could choose from five basic paint optio... |
The thermo-syphon cooling system, ( used then by Zundapp in Germany, as well as Silk ) essentially boiled water using engine heat, then fed it back down from the radiator in a rubber tube to the engine cases, where it slowly boiled up again – no water pump was required. |
Silk were an engineering company and made the piston port twin cylinder engine in-house at their Derbyshire base. The pressed up, four roller bearing crank had the primary drive taken from the crankshaft centre, to an old Velocette Venom four speed gearbox, which was fitted upside down, so you changed down on the lever... |
Very odd for most riders. But there was more eccentricity. The engine ran on 50:1 petroil mix, yet had a huge separate three and a quarter pint oil tank reserved for main bearing lubrication, pumped by Silk´s self designed oil pump, which was linked to the throttle. Open the throttle and the oil flowed faster. Seldom w... |
The engine´s claimed 48bhp was developed at a mere 6,000rpm, giving the bike touring performance. Peak torque was made at just 3,000rpm, similar to the Suzuki GT750 `Kettle´ of the 70s, and the water jacket gave the unit a strange `woofling´ sort of noise. The twin siamesed exhaust pipes ran into a Spanish made Ossa si... |
Wheels were originally 18 inch Borrani alloy rims on early Silks, with six spoke Campagnolo cast items seen on this later 1978 model. The whole bike only weighed 305lbs dry and could hit 115mph, the same as a Z650 Kawasaki which weighed 465lbs. |
The Silk 700S pictured here was owned by a Mr. Neil Frost a few years ago, when your roving reporter met him near the Goyt valley in Derbyshire. Neil had bought the Silk because he loved the bold statement that George Silk was making back in the 1970s. He admitted it smoked like a damp bonfire when cold, but once the e... |
Silk buyers could specify their bikes to suit their tastes and Neil´s had the cast wheels, with the larger four gallon fuel tank. It also had the extra Lockheed front disc brake, but all Silks had a rear drum fitted. The final drive chain was invariably enclosed, as were the front forks and Girling shock absorbers. Oth... |
Like Alfred Scott, George Silk was reaching for a higher level of quality. With the Silk 700, George and his partners were striving to pay homage to a great Victorian engineer who had put the two stroke on the motorcycling map. They wanted to create a versatile, economical, lightweight machine for older enthusiasts who... |
But their machine was too faithful to Scott´s eccentric, purist nature and was already ten years too late for the UK market. The era of cheap petrol and oil had gone forever. Big two strokes were an endangered species as US driven emissions laws began to be adopted in Europe too by the early 1980s.Although Suzuki´s GT7... |
