Lyon brings Valbuena back to Ligue 1

By -
France midfielder Mathieu Valbuena has joined Olympique Lyonnais from Russian club Dynamo Moscow, the Ligue 1 side said on Tuesday. "Presentation press conference at 17:00! #MV," Lyon wrote on their official Twitter account above a picture of the 30-year-old on a exercise bike machine. According to French media reports, Lyon will pay five million euros ($5.54 million) for the play-maker who is expected to sign a three-year deal. Valbuena, who has 48 international caps, moved to Dynamo Moscow last year following an eight-year spell at Olympique de Marseille, with whom he won the French title in 2010. French media said he had asked to leave the Russian side after they were banned from this season's Europa League for failing to comply with the Financial Fair Play rules. Valbuena is the fourth signing for last season's runners-up Lyon after Brazil full-back Rafael and Frenchmen Claudio Beauvue and Jeremy Morel. Lyon drew 0-0 at home to Lorient in their opening Ligue 1 match on Sunday. ($1 = 0.9028 euros)

Is it our position to even say anything in the first place? If we elect to say something, how receptive will they be to even hear about it? Should we be considered a true friend if we just let this all continue to happen and do nothing about it? These may be some of the questions that arise when we see a friend who we feel is utterly unhappy with the situations and with their own lives. To change this would bring a smile to our own faces as happiness would surely set in for loved one. How do we do this without causing some sort of conflict with them and/or lose the friendshipthat we have worked so hard to keep. Changing one’s own happinessis something that has to come from within. There are many reasons why someone may be unhappy with their own situations, but we cannot...

Important Things to Teach Your Child About Money

By -
Odds are you've had financial stress at some point in your life. If you really think about it, most of the financial stress we suffer is ultimately our own fault. We spend more than we should and save less. We buy things we don't need and fail to give money the respect it deserves. One big purchase on a credit card can result in payments that never seem to end. If you could go back in time and eliminate all of your financial errors, your life would probably be very different. Though it's never too late to make improvements, it's much easier to prevent challenges than it is to solve them. You can help your child avoid such financial challenges. You can give your child the gift of financial wisdom. Consider discussing these ideas with your children: 1. Consider the real cost of what you're buying. A $500 stereo doesn't just cost $5
