What’s new in France for 2019

France has a rich history, an impressive infrastructure, and a tourism industry trying valiantly to cope with its big crowds. Travelers who plan ahead enjoy big rewards. Paris' most famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower, has a new look. A glass wall now rings its base for security reasons, with one access point at each side, meaning you can no longer wander freely under the tower. Visitors should allow an extra 30 minutes to go through screening. Also, summit tickets for the […]

COMMENTARY: Like the government, central banks are afraid of Bitcoin and crypto

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Since the dawn of cryptocurrency trading, there have always been projections and predictions of doom-and-gloom bear markets. From the amateur day trader to so-called market experts like Jim Cramer, they have all predicted that Bitcoin, everything that encompasses it and the entire cryptocurrency marketplace will collapse into the void in which it came from, or something to such effect. These same predictions also come from ignorant journalists and so-called hubristic economists who know nothing about cryptocurrencies, hence […]

Scotland’s majestic Isle of Skye

Scotland's islands may be at this northern nation's distant fringes, but those who venture to them are richly rewarded with dramatic landscapes, a taste of each island's rich heritage, and warm welcomes. Among Scotland's countless islands, the favorite among travelers is the scenic Isle of Skye, where fun-to-drive mountain roads weave among grassy slopes and rocky ridges. Just off Scotland's northwest coast, Skye is the country's second-biggest island (it takes about two hours to drive it from south to north). […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story Flashback: Charles Perrault

Editor Note: Rix is off on assignment. Here's one of his Minute Stories, originally published on August 18, 2018. We’d like to recognize Charles Perrault, who preserved the folk tales of “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Sleeping Beauty” and many more. We’d bake a cake in his honor, but since he was born in 1628, he’s 375 now. Few folks that age can blow out the candles. Perrault painstakingly transcribed centuries-old stories that taught important lessons like bravery, honesty, and witch […]

Question: Dear Steve, I just contacted a pro-bono legal service in my hometown to try to deal with Federal & private defaulted student debt but I wanted to reach out to you as well to get another perspective.

GET OUT OF DEBT GUY: I’ve paid my roommate’s bills and my thanks comes in the form of death threats

Question: Dear Steve, I had a roommate who lived with me off and on for 10 years. During the time he lived with me, he asked me to loan him money for his small business. He was abusive at times and I felt like he was on drugs but could not prove it. He asked me to loan him money to pay for products for his business, all the while making the minimum payments on the cards. Eventually, the debt […]

Michael Madigan legislative

COMMENTARY: New legislative cycle, same old chaos

As a new General Assembly legislative session convenes this week, the same political chaos continues. The newly-established Democratic super-majority continued to elect the same corrupt leadership in Michael Madigan and John Cullerton, just as Republicans did the same with Jim Durkin and Bill Brady. This only confirms that the duopoly embraces corruption. In other words, the same political clusterfuck still exists: Illinois still spends nearly $143.79 billion for every $108.53 billion taken in. The state has an operational debt of […]

Inheriting a spouse’s debt

My question is about each married individual’s responsibility in case of the death of the other. I will use my husband and I as an example. We have separate bank accounts, separate loans, and separate credit cards except for our heating utility company. Our marriage is the second for each of us. While I have established a very good credit history, my current husband has bad credit. Will I be responsible for paying off his debt if he should die […]

Enjoying Europe’s world-apart escapes

In my early days as a guidebook writer, Europe's undiscovered nooks and undeveloped crannies held the most appeal for me — and they still do. But with ever more sophisticated travelers armed with enough time and money to see the Europe of their dreams, places I "discovered" a few decades ago are now suffering from "Back Door" congestion. Given that, I've come to treasure even more those destinations that still have the feeling of being a world apart from everyday […]
