Scam Free Online Jobs: Earn Money from Home!
Welcome to learn how to make money online!
Before you dive into the article, I want to give you an opportunity answer a short quiz about making money online.
As a reward for answering the quiz, you will get my 1-on-1 support and guidance.
Yes, you heard right! I will personally connect with you to help you to earn money online after you have gone through the quiz.
Almost every day people ask me, "Roope, what would be a good way to make a money online? Could you recommend some website?"
That's why I decided to write this post to gather a huge list of Scam Free Online Jobs from Home. These websites will certainly help you. This list contains only legitimate make money online opportunities that really pay.
Still, I want to remind you that making money online requires work and you won't become rich overnight. Still, the earning potential is much greater than in most 9-5 jobs.
I have divided them into different categories to help your research. I will be adding more websites to the list of the time course but I thought it's a good time to publish this post already because it will helpful for many.
If you have any questions or comments regarding these websites, don't hesitate to leave them below and I'll reply you personally.
Step-By-Step Online Business Training
Wealthy Affiliate – My #1 Recommendation
My #1 recommendation for making money online especially for beginners. Wealthy Affiliate offers a step-by-step training, support and all tools you need to start making a living online. WA has helped me and thousands of other people to make enough money online to be able to quit a 9-5 job. As a bonus for my website readers, I offer a 1-on-1 support and mentoring for all people who sign up to WA through YourOnlineRevenue.com.
Chris Farrell Membership
Chris Farrell teaches you also how to make money online with affiliate marketing. His approach is a slightly different than on Wealthy Affiliate but both strategies work for sure if you are willing to work.Chris concludes his money-making strategy in 3 short words: Build a list.
Affilorama is one of the most famous and biggest make money online training on the Internet. However, if we compare it to Wealthy Affiliate and Chris Farrell, it's more expensive. In my opinion, WA community is superior which makes it easier to get started for beginners.
Freelance Marketplaces
One of the biggest and most famous freelance marketplaces on the Internet. You can outsource work starting from $5 per task but you can also find very high quality freelancers. Fiverr can also be an interesting channel for you to make extra income online. Some people are doing even a full-time income through Fiverr but for most people it works as a channel for earning extra income.
Upwork, before known as Elance, is a huge freelance marketplace with millions of users. You can make money by offering any skills that people are ready to pay for. Small business owners also post available jobs. Then freelancers send them their offers and the "employer" chooses the best one. Read my Upwork article here.
There are also several other similar freelance marketplaces like Xplace, PeoplePerHour, Freelancer and many others but I am not going to list all of them here. You can get well started with these two options. I recommend creating a profile on both of them and start grinding.
You can do almost any kind of jobs as a freelancer:
- Accounting
- Website creation and management
- Copywriting
- Video creation
- Social media marketing
- Keyword research
- Music creation
- Programming
- etc.
Freelance Writing/Outsourcing Content Writing:
I have bought articles from several websites and HireWriters may the best one. I have received high quality articles for a cheap price that are still driving me lots of traffic from search engines. You can use HireWriters for outsourcing your content writing or for earning money yourself. You need to be a native English speaker in order to work on their platform as a writer.
iWriter is a similar platform to HireWriters. However, on this site you don't need to be a native English speaker to work for them. Therefore, almost anyone can take jobs on this site.
Matched Betting
Matched betting is a strategy to make money online by taking advantage of bonuses and offers on online betting sites. Even though it's called "betting" it is not actually betting because it's a 100% guaranteed way to make money online.
My recommended tools and trainings for matched betting are:
OddsMonkey – My #1 recommended tool. Provides the most comprehensive set of tools and resources. An average reports an extra £900/month earnings on their forum. Remember that all income that you earn with matched betting is completely tax free (at least in the UK).
Profit Accumulator - The Biggest Matched Betting Community (100,000 paying customers). Profit Accumulator is also a great resource for making more money with matched betting. Most people said after joining, "It felt almost too good to be true but it was true!"
Profit Squirrel – Another Great Matched Betting Step-by-step training. I heard of this tool from my friend who has researched hundreds of make money online opportunities. He recommended this tool so I decided to give it a closer look.
Freelance Translating
One Hour Translation
I don't do so much freelancing myself because I rather want to build my own business. Still, One Hour Translation has been my favorite place to work as a freelancer. The salary is pretty good (usually around $30 per hour and sometimes more) and the company is reliable. The more languages you can translate, the more opportunities you have.
OHT approves only high-quality translators. So if you want to work for them, you need to be sure that you can provide good translations. You will submit your CV and make a starter test before they'll approve a new translator.
Teach Languages Online
I know several people who make money online by teaching languages online. One way to make money online is by creating a language blog and leave affiliate links like I do. You can check out my language learning blog LanguagesAreEasy.com here.
But the more common way is just to teach individuals or groups through different platforms.
Preply and Italki are two very popular ones (by the way, my links offer some bonuses for both platforms). Notice that you can start teaching languages even though you wouldn't have any degree or you wouldn't have studied language teaching even a single day. You can tutor people who want to learn your native language. Many people are willing to for just being to able to chat with someone in the language they are trying to learn.
I know also people who charge +30€ per hour without a language teaching degree. If you know what you are doing, you don't need a degree. You can click the links below to read more about those platforms. The links will take to my language blog.
- Read my comprehensive Preply review. (the link takes to my another website)
- Read my review of Italki.
- Read about the platform called Verbling (higher salaries usually).
I once set up a teacher profile on Preply and I started getting requests from students but I decided I concentrate on other ways to make money online. Usually, I prefer activities that generate passive income.
Build a YouTube Channel
Making money on YouTube isn't rocket science. In my last work place, I had two colleagues who have YouTube channels and I bet they are making some nice extra income there.
On the other channel, the man just records his screens and teaches programming. Before starting his channel he didn't know about programming. He took a book, studied for a few hours, recorded a video and repeated the process. He gained 80,000 subscribers and millions of views on YouTube.
Then his wife has a cooking channel with more than 16,500,000 views at the moment and the number is rapidly rising. The idea is simple. She shows how a recipe of cooking some specific food in the video.
YouTube gurus say that you can expect on average earnings like $1,000-3,000 for 1 million views from ads. Then you can also, ad affiliate links and promotions that can double, triple, quadruple or multiple the earnings even more.
Some time ago I realized the potential of YouTube and I started a YouTube channel. I haven't put very much effort on it yet but it's starting to take a off little by little. The traffic still isn't huge but it's exponentially growing so in a year or two I can expect pretty nice earnings. You can check out my YouTube channel here. Don't forget to subscribe!
One great (and free) tool that you can use for recording your videos is Screencast-O-Matic. I use it myself for recording my screen = doing the screencast.
Insert Ads To Your Website
You have probably heard of Google AdSense? If you haven't heard you have for sure seen those ads on some websites. You can insert Google AdSense on your website in less than 5 minutes. You just copy the code from Google AdSense to your website and it starts showing ads.
However, in order to make good money with ads, you need to have quite a big amount of traffic on your website. Sometimes they aren't worth it because you can earn much more by selling your own products or promoting affiliate products. That's why I haven't been using ads almost at all.
However, there's still potential and it's always a "plan B" to monetize your pages if there's no other way. By inserting ads you can monetize also information posts. My friend is making around $600 per month with 30,000 visitors. It's not a huge money but still a nice extra just for inserting ads that takes less than minutes. Imagine that you have 300,000 visitors per month. That's already extra $6,000 per month. Some websites have millions of visitors per month so they can make even $50,000-100,000 just by inserting ads. You start seeing the potential, right?
One way is to use Google AdSense but there are also ad optimization tools and ad networks that do the optimization for you. Those are, for example:
I will write detailed articles of those platforms in the near future. Notice that most platforms have some minimum amount before you can start using them (for example, MediaVine requires minimum 25,000 sessions per month).
Bitcoin (and Other Cryptocurrencies)
I know personally people who have become millionaires by investing to cryptocurrencies. I didn't become a millionaire yet but I have earned quite a good money as well by investing in them. Here are some of the best places you can get Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies.
If you haven't heard of cryptocurrencies before, I recommend checking out my recent course where I teach how you can make money with them.
Here are also some of my cryptocurrency articles:
Best Cryptocurrency Exchanges
Recently, I have written a comprehensive post to present you the best cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. I have reviewed and tried myself numerous exchanges and provided comprehensive written and video reviews.
Coinbase ($10 Bonus for New Members)
When I started with Bitcoins in 2015, my friend introduced me to Coinbase and said I can get a sign-up bonus right away. It worked well and I received free money. Coinbase offers still a sign-up bonus of $10 and many of my friends have used my link to get it
Coinbase is the biggest and probably one of the most reliable cryptocurrency exchanges in the world.
My friend was working on LocalBitcoins for a few years and the company is great. It's a Finnish company with its headquarters located in Helsinki (in my home country). They are operating in around 200 different countries in the world and have become a big success story.
I enjoy using Kraken as a cryptocurrency platform as well. They have a good reputation in cryptocurrency circles and their service is top-notch. I have always received answers to my support messages and I have nothing bad to say about their platform. Go to Kraken.
Stock Market Investing
Stock market investing (and investing in general) is a good way to make money online. In my opinion, it would be wise for anyone to start investing. You can start for as low as 15€ per month and start adding up a little bit.
Nordnet is the best investing platform in Nordic countries. They have affordable pricing, great service and overall it just beats its competitors. I and most friends that I know are investing through Nordnet.
Read my full Nordnet review here.
DeGiro (Still a Question Mark)
DeGiro is an interesting platform because they offer even cheaper prices than Nordnet. However, it's still a relatively new company and I haven't used it so much. I have invested little money as a test on their platform but so far I have preferred to stick with Nordnet. Read my full DeGiro review here.
I don't have a knowledge of the best investment platforms in the U.S. Because I am from Europe. If you could recommend American platform for our readers, I would be glad if you would inform in the comments.
Upload Your Pictures to Photo Banks
Photo banks are huge libraries of pictures. Companies and individuals can use them to buy high-quality pictures that they can use for their business and websites.
You can upload your photos to those websites and start earning passive income. The process goes like this:
- Upload a picture
- Somebody buys it
- You earn commission
However, it's easier said than done. There are people who make a full-time income by doing this but most people make close to nothing. My friend with 10 years of photographing experience made around $10 during the first 4 months. But the income will most likely exponentially grow when he keeps on adding new pictures so there is potential for sure.
There are tons of photo banks that you can choose from. Some famous ones are Shutterstock, Fotolia, and Foap.
Paid Forum Posting
Did you know that you can earn money by leaving comments on blogs and forums? It's possible even though the rewards aren't so big.
Postloop is #1 paid forum posting platform on the Internet. I have used it for getting comments to my websites for a cheap price. If you use it for earning money, you can make approximately $5 per day. It's not very much but if you are from a third-world country and haven't found a better way to make money online, this can be one way to start out.
- Read more about Postloop.
- Go to Postloop.
There are also some other platforms where you can earn money by leaving comments like Forum Wheel and Paid Forum Posting. However, I don't personally recommend those platform because of their low-quality support.
Online Business Tools to Boost Your Income
It's possible to make money online for completely free. However, investing in proper tools usually speeds up the process and helps you to maximize your revenue. I am paying for several tools that help me to generate more money online. Those tools have certainly been worth it because they pay themselves back many times over the time course.
Keyword Tool: Jaaxy
Want to drive traffic from Google and other search engines? Having a proper keyword tool is one of the best investments you can make. You don't need to pay lots of money for an expensive SEO agency because you can find proper keywords in a minute yourself.
I pay for Jaaxy and it helps me to find keywords, get ranked on Google, track my current Google rankings, analyze competition and helps me to make decisions based on the information it provides me.
Keyword Tool Option 2: Long Tail Pro
Long Tail Pro is even more popular keyword tool than Jaaxy. Successful online marketers have used it over the years to help their Google rankings and revenue. LTP provides many great metrics that help you to define which keywords you should use in your posts and pages.
Read my full Long Tail Pro review here or try it for free.
You may also be interested in having a look at a comparison: Long Tail Pro Vs Jaaxy: Which One Is the King?
Autoresponder: Aweber
If you want to build an email list, you must have an autoresponder. There are a few options out there but Aweber is the one that I use. It's also recommended by the best online marketers in the world.
Building an email list is certainly worth it because it will pay itself back in the future many times. Let's say that you could make, for example, on average $5/year per email that you collect. If you have an email list of 10,000 subscribers, that's already a potential of making extra $50,000 per year.
Aweber offers also a free 30-day trial for new members so you can try it without a risk.
Read my full Aweber review here.
Domain hosting: Bluehost (or Wealthy Affiliate)
When you have a website you need a domain hosting (unless you are on a free domain like xxxx.blogspot.com or xxx.wordpress.com which are not recommended). There are hundreds of domain hosts in the world but I want you to choose a good one. It will affect your website's site speed, user experience and your ability to improve the site.
Bluehost is one of the biggest and most well-known domain hosts in the world. It's recommended by world-class online marketers like Pat Flynn and others.
Another great option is having a domain hosting from Wealthy Affiliate which is included in their membership. I am a member of Wealthy Affiliate so I mainly use their hosting services myself.
Network Marketing (A.K.A. Multi-Level Marketing)
As you probably know, I am not a huge fan of network marketing. I have researched tens of MLM-companies and most of them have similar characteristics:
- Overpriced products
- Pyramid form → Money moves from bottom to the top (compare to a normal company where top pays salary to the bottom)
- Less than 5% of members succeed
Still, the Internet has opened many awesome opportunities for network marketers. You can get thousands of leads and sales without even leaving the comfort of your own home. These are some legitimate MLM-companies
The oldest MLM-company in the world. Their products have spread all over the world. Compared to other network marketing businesses, their prices are better and the company has a positive reputation. Read my full review of Avon here.
Almost everybody knows Tupperware. They have the market of plastic kitchen products for decades. The company was founded already more than 70 years ago and it's still going strong. We have still in our kitchen some Tupperware products that my grandmother bought decades ago. My grandmother has passed away but those products are still in our kitchen. That's a proof of their products' value. Read my comprehensive Tupperware review.
Mini Job Sites
I left this category last because I don't really recommend mini job/get-paid-to sites. On these sites you can earn money by watching videos, answering surveys, playing games and doing some other little tasks.
However, the reward for those tasks is extremely small which is the reason why I don't recommend them. I have reviewed more than 80 mini job sites and I am using none of them actively anymore.
PrizeRebel & ClixSense
If I would be using get-paid-to sites, I would probably use PrizeRebel and ClixSense. They have been operating for over 10 years and have paid +$20,000,000 in total to their members. The amount may sound big but if you divide it by their members the average earnings are only a few dollars per member.
Baymack & Snuckls - UPDATE 9.5.2018: Not RECOMMENDED ANYMORE!
I can't recommend Snuckls or Baymack anymore. They are just two out of hundreds of low paying websites online. Yes, I have received money from their site but it's only a few dollars. You can earn much more with the other ones on this list.
These are relatively new sites and recently they have enjoyed popularity in many countries in Asia. You watch short videos and earn tickets for lotteries. They have a raffle every day and they share money for the winners. I have cashed out money from these sites but the rewards are so small that I don't use them actively.
I hope you have found this list useful. Feel free to ask anything you want and I'll be happy to help you out.
Which one of those websites are you using or do you use some other ways to earn money online?
PS.I will update this list over the time course, add more information and make the design better.

When these Chariots ride to war, there is little that can stand in the way of their terrific charge.
By lashing together rough-hewn logs, Orcs are able to construct formidable chariots. It takes two powerful war boars to pull such a blocky construction and, at first, even these thick-muscled beasts struggle. With some grunting and not just a little straining flatulence, the boars finally get the crude wheels turning. Once the churning porcine legs have the chariot rumbling along at full tilt, it becomes an impressive shock weapon, capable of slamming into the enemy with the force of a thunderbolt, albeit a hairy and stinky one. If the sheer impact of such hurtling force does not smash the foe, there are always the iron-shod wheels with crude blades attached, the goring tusks of the boars or the spear thrusts of the Orc crew themselves. While not as fast as a wolf-drawn Goblin Chariot, the heavier Orc vehicle hits harder and in return can absorb considerably more punishment than the flimsier gobbo-crewed devices.

Children of depressed mothers are three times more likely to develop depression in their lifetime. However, mechanisms of risk from mother to child are unclear, although research supports the importance of neural response to reward and of maternal socialization processes in the development of depression. Developmental affective neuroscience models suggest that depression is a disorder of problematic social functioning, with alterations in enjoying rewards within social contexts, and these reward-related difficulties may be associated with transmission of risk. Given that the development of psychopathology begins long before the emergence of symptoms, and given the importance of understanding early trajectories toward depression, the proposed MRSDA focuses on developmental changes that occur in the early school age period. Evaluating neural and behavioral processing of social rewards during the early school period may elucidate whether high risk children show alterations in positive affect during this developmental shift in social contexts and if these alterations are related to maternal socialization. The proposed MRSDA bridges the candidate's prior expertise in early childhood affective development with innovative research in developmental affective neuroscience to uniquely position her as a translational researcher evaluating clinically-relevant, reward-related neurobehavioral differences in early school age children at risk for depression. It is proposed that the combination of low positive affect and maternal discouragement of positive affect may contribute to self-regulatory processes that dampen positive affect during this developmental period, even though clinical levels of depressive symptoms may not emerge until the onset of puberty. To appropriately evaluate her research questions, the candidate will receive training in functional neuroanatomical and neural bases of affective and social processes across childhood and adolescence. The candidate will advance her training in maternal socialization processes associated with positive affect;designing, adapting, and conducting fMRI paradigms that assess reward function with a young child population;and advanced statistical analysis to evaluate brain-behavior associations and to conduct future longitudinal studies on the trajectory of risk for depression across development. Her mentorship team has extensive experience in developmental affective neuroscience and maternal socialization patterns (Drs. Forbes, Allen, Silk, Goodman), utilization of functional neuroimaging in young children to answer clinically-relevant questions (Drs. Luby and Perlman), and advanced statistical analysis (Dr. Iyengar). Altogether, the proposed MRSDA has the potential to advance the field of developmental affective neuroscience by identifying mechanisms of risk for depression and mechanisms of change for intervention.
Children of depressed mothers are three times more likely to develop depression, a debilitating disorder with high rates of morbidity and mortality, in their own lifetime. For these high risk children, the combination of reward-related neural differences and mothers'responses to their positive emotions in early childhood may contribute to children's difficulties with managing emotions that set the stage for developing depression later. Findings from the proposed MRSDA will not only identify one potential pathway to transmission of risk, but also clarify mechanisms of change (e.g., altering maternal socialization of positive affect) that can be used to prevent depression and develop better treatments.

SiriusXM announced today that two-time major championship winner John Daly has signed on to host a new show on SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (XM channel 93, Sirius channel 208).
Hit It Hard with John Daly will debut this December and run as a six-part series on the channel. Daly will take calls from listeners around the country, talk about his experiences in and out of the sport, offer his thoughts on today's game and players, share his love of music, and more.
"One of the things I've enjoyed most about my career is the fans and their support. I still feed off of their energy and encouragement in every tournament I play in," said Daly. "SiriusXM is a great new way for me to interact with those fans and talk about not only golf, but music and life in general, and I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences both on the golf course and beyond it."
"John has had a significant impact on the world of golf, where his play and personality have appealed to established fans and drawn new ones to the sport," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer. "He's lived and continues to live a very unique life on and off the course and his perspective is a terrific addition to SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio."
Daly joined the PGA TOUR in 1991 and became an immediate star by winning his first major – the PGA Championship – in his rookie season. Remarkably, he was the ninth alternate invited to play in the tournament after Nick Price dropped out of the field. Despite arriving late in the week and not having time to play a practice round, the 25-year-old Daly shot scores of 69-67-69-71 to win by three strokes. His powerful swing and individuality have made him a huge fan favorite and his popularity stretches beyond golf to reach fans that had never before followed the sport. Daly went on to win four more times on the PGA TOUR, including his second major victory at the British Open in 1995. He continues to compete today in PGA TOUR events and internationally, and he remains instantly recognizable for his long drives and colorful outfits.
Away from his golf bag, Daly has ventured into the worlds of music and golf course design. As a singer/songwriter he has recorded two country music albums and released a new single in 2014 entitled "Hit It Hard." His company, JD Designs, has designed golf courses across the U.S., in Canada and Ireland. Daly is also involved with several charities.
SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio offers live golf play-by-play of PGA TOUR events and major championships. This year the channel unveiled an expanded programming lineup that offers the best daily golf talk, news, analysis and instruction on radio. In addition to Daly, hosts on the channel include World Golf Hall of Fame members Ben Crenshaw, Fred Couples and Hubert Green, Henrik Stenson, Ian Poulter, Annika Sorenstam, Chris DiMarco, Rich Beem, Hank Haney, David Leadbetter, Jim McLean, Bob Ford, Mark Carnevale, John Maginnes, Carl Paulson, Dennis Paulson, Matt Adams, Brian Katrek, Sandy McIlree, Larry Rinker, Lorne Rubenstein, Ben Shear, John Swantek, Jeff Warne, Greg Warmoth and Taylor Zarzour. Listeners can also hear Golf Channel programming. Visit www.SiriusXM.ca/SiriusXMPGATOURRadio for a daily schedule.

It's time for another LiveStream Episode of the Patch and Switch show!!! Two IT guys (Patch and Switch) who are talking about whatever comes up. Can you say Tangent! Ultimately it's the Chat Room where everyone hangs out and contributes to the show, so make sure to load it up during the LiveStream!
We finally got everyone together but this time the studio is all wonky. I hope we get things fixed up to a Minimum Viable Product by the time the stream starts … (See, I know my DevOps/Agile terminologies!)
What's this episodes topic? We still don't know until the show starts, if it starts. We have some ideas on what to talk about – but the chatroom shapes the show!

The German Harmonica and Accordion Museum has recently been reopened. Nearly 25,000 different Harmonicas from all over the world are represented in all aspects and variations, many having a high cultural and historic value. The ingenuity and adaption of current trends which created models like the 'Zeppelin' and 'Banana' Harmonica are displayed in a modern well designed setting and are lovingly preserved by curator Martin Huffier and make up the largest single collection in the world
There is also a huge permanent display of some 500 square metres with a large variety of Piano and Diatonic Accordions, as well as the history of these fabulous instruments. You can see the construction of the instruments and the history of their cultural development. The museum tour ends with an attractive multi-media room where movies, documentaries and lectures are also given.
It is a fascinating visit where you will find the story of Matthias HOHNER, his rise to fortune and the assimilation of his numerous competitors. The museum in Bau V, was the former factory building on the original HOHNER factory site.

Russell Westbrook has been a hot topic in many NBA rumors since the departure of Kevin Durant from Oklahoma City. Thunder general manager, Sam Presti, reportedly discussed possible Westbrook trades with several teams last week including the San Antonio Spurs.
According to Adam Joseph of SB Nation, the Thunder discussed teams such as the Spurs, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics. However, there were no follow-up negotiations between Presti and the teams involved.
per sources, Presti discussed Westbrook deals with several different teams (inc. SAS, MIL, LAL, BOS), but no middle ground was found.
— Adam Joseph (@AdamJosephSport) July 21, 2016
ALSO READ: NBA Rumors: Cavs to acquire Nerlens Noel from Sixers for Iman Shumpert?
Brayden Neubauer of Pounding The Rock noted in his report that Presti wanted Kawhi Leonard from the Spurs in exchange for Russell Westbrook. It is not a lopsided deal for both teams considering Leonard and Westbrook are two of the top five players in the NBA today.
However, Neubauer thinks that it will be too much of a risk for San Antonio since they have to let go of the "face of the franchise." Leonard's departure will also leave a big hole to fill in the small forward position and his contract is a bargain.
On the other hand, Westbrook is set to become a free agent after next season and he will likely test the market. The Spurs will never pull the trigger on a trade for him especially if he does not want to sign an extension.
San Antonio can also wait for the summer of 2017 when Westbrook will likely become a free agent and they might be able to convince him to become a Spur. The team is still playoff contender but adding Westbrook will make them favorites to win the title.

According to Royce Young of Real GM, Russell Westbrook has no plans to demand a trade from the Thunder. However, the 27-year-old point guard is unsure if he will stay and re-sign a new contract after the 2016-17 season.

Rochdale grooming: Abusers 'not fazed' by convictions, says victim
Nothing has changed. These features were all highlighted in Easy Meat (2014). Culturally, morally the gangs think they are doing nothing wrong (their Islamic values are reinforced by the UK's hostility/racism to the "trash" of the white working-class). The gangs know that most of them will escape jail - the media's cover-up of the historical convictions fosters the gangs' confidence. And still we see the victims being told that their cases cannot be prosecuted. Note at the end, that every year there are now 3000 to 5000 reports to this one police force. Their patch is 5% of UK population. So there could be around 80,000 reports per year nationally.

Front National win could lead to civil war, warns French PM
People are shocked that my book warns about vigilante justice if the grooming gang scandal is not tackled head-on. Here's the socialist Prime Minister of France warning that even attempting democratic solutions to the problems of Islam will cause civil war. The PM of France perhaps put off a National Front government for another decade, making it even likelier that France will descend into civil war in the future. UK media knew in 2001 and 2005 that pro-Caliphate groups were urging Muslims to groom non-Muslims. What Hollande did was to subvert the democratic process.

Turkey's first lady praises Ottoman harem
Notice how the BBC incorporates the outraged Tweets to show that "many Muslims" disagree with this idea. The BBC is careful to ignore that the women in the harem would almost always be slaves, and the male slaves guarding them would have been castrated (against their will). No mention of how many black slaves died during this brutal enforced castration. Imagine the BBC being so dispassionate about someone extolling the benefits of castrating black slaves on American plantations. To the Leftists, Black Lives Matter only when it's a chance to attack white (western) values.

The truth about Muslims and sex slavery - according to the Quran, rather than Isis or Islamophobes
The above headline at least admits the Koran has commands relating to sex slavery. The excerpt below is the core of the apologist's argument. Can you imagine a "respectable" "liberal" newspaper in the West giving space to anyone else other than a Muslim to justify slavery? The article completely ignores the 1400 years of slavery in Islam, ignores that there was not one Islamic anti-slavery movement, ignores that slavery was only made illegal in Islamic states under duress from the Christian Western countries. One of the tricks going on in this article is to ignore the history of Mohammed and the history of Islam, to focus only on the Koran and ignore the Hadiths. Many of the comments to this piece expose the contradictions and deceptions in the article. And many other comments are complaining that this "liberal" "independent" newspaper is deleting their comments which quote from the hadiths. The chapter on Islamic Cultural Values in my book exposes the claims of this news article for what they are: deceptive apologetics.

Yes, boys, you CAN have sex slaves: Outrage as British Muslim cleric at mosque where Cardiff jihadis were radicalised tells teenagers that 'captives' are permissible under Islam in vile sermon
It was March 2014, when my book "Easy Meat" first posited that the rape epidemic in England was due to the legality and long history of sex-slavery in Islam. That was months before the Inquiries into Rotherham, months before Islamic State & Boko Haram were taking sex slaves. Despite what the "moderate" Imam says in this story, Muslims were routinely taking slaves and raping them, from the 7th century until the 20th century. And the organized rape of schoolgirls in England is just a continuation of this.

Sunday Cat Blogging: Sprite
It occurred to me that of the current animal population in the house, this is the only one yet to appear on this web site.
She has the usual cat power of being able to subdue a person by sitting on their stomach, preventing any chance of rising from the couch. Sometimes she sits on the back of the couch and washes my hair. She likes to eat grasshoppers. She tried to die about a year and a half ago but is doing okay now. She doesn't bite. (Unlike the other one.)
She is a good cat.

Jean Michel Jarre is touring the UK for the first time in six years.
The French electronic music pioneer, who rose to fame with his 1976 album 'Oxygene', plays The O2 in London on 7 October 2016 as part of a national arena tour.
Tickets go on sale on 18 March from www.gigsandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
Jarre is well known for staging audio-visual spectacles, including his two Destination Docklands concerts on London's Victoria Docks in 1998, each attended by 100 000 people. He performed to over 2.5 million people in Paris and 3.5 million in Moscow to celebrate the city's 850th birthday.
The new tour coincides with the release of his two-part album, 'Electronica'. 'Volume 1: The Time Machine' broke into the top 10 in over 25 countries on its release in 2015 and will be followed by 'Volume 2: The Heart of Noise' on 6 May.
The likes of Pet Shop Boys, Primal Scream, Julia Holter, Gary Numan, Peaches, Yello, The Orb, Sebastien Tellier, Hans Zimmer, and Cyndi Lauper join Jarre on the album which is a tribute to Luigi Russolo, the Italian composer who, in 1913, predicted the arrival of electronic music.
"I've wanted to tell a story for a while regarding electronic music history and its legacy from my point of view and experience, from when I started to nowadays," says Jarre. "So I planned to compose for and collaborate with an array of artists who are, directly or indirectly linked to this scene, with people I admire for their singular contribution to our genre, that represent a source of inspiration for me over the last four decades I have been making music, but who also have an instantly recognisable sound."
Jarre's UK arena tour will see him perform selections from the new albums as well as classics from his back catalogue including 'Équinoxe'.

A hero with six field goals in the Ottawa Redblacks' first Canadian Football League victory — 18-17 against the Toronto Argos on July 18, 2014 — Maher has returned to the team after spending last season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Ray Early, who booted two field goals in Thursday's 30-29 pre-season win against the Ticats, was released.
Kicker Brett Maher feels as if he's back home after returning to Redblacks
Stepping onto the TD Place stadium field on Saturday morning, Brett Maher felt as if he was home.
A hero with six field goals in the Ottawa Redblacks' first Canadian Football League victory — 18-17 against the Toronto Argos on July 18, 2014 — Maher has returned to the team after spending last season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Ray Early, who booted two field goals in Thursday's 30-29 pre-season win against the Ticats, was released.
"I was starting to get a little itchy. I'd been home for longer than I wanted to," said the 27-year-old Maher, who wore No. 13 in practice Saturday. "Obviously coming back here is a very comfortable situation for me. This was really my first go as a professional. My family was able to be up here during that season. To share that with them and have that be my first experience was phenomenal. It always has had a special place in my heart."
So why bring in a new kicker? Why release Early?
"We needed to be better," Redblacks general manager Marcel Desjardins said. "In training-camp practices, the numbers weren't there. That comfort level to continue on with Ray just wasn't there. He has ability, he just needs to develop consistency.
"(Maher's) somebody who has proven he can do it on a consistent basis. As much as the other guys did well in the pre-season game, we have to look at the whole of training camp, and the performance level just wasn't up to par. We felt this is something we had to do. We wanted to have this settled sooner rather than later."
"He's going to make a big difference for us," Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell said.
Zack Medeiros is still in camp, but there's a chance Maher could handle punt, kickoff and field goal duties. Maher, who received a look from the Cleveland Browns during the offseason, had been hoping for further interest from National Football League clubs.
"The NFL was still on their radar, but eventually they came around to understanding what our sensitivities were timing-wise and they decided to come to Ottawa," Desjardins said.
"It really happened pretty quick," Maher said. "If you'd have asked me a week ago if I thought I'd be here, it would probably have been not."
If not for a hip injury during offseason training before Redblacks training camp in 2015, Maher may never have left. He wasn't ready for training camp, was later brought back during the regular season, but was released after a four-game stint. He then signed with the Ticats, making 41 of 50 field-goal attempts and averaging 45.9 yards per punt in 2016.
"Kicking in Hamilton is not exactly the easiest thing with the conditions there," Desjardins said.
"There were some talks (with the Ticats) before training camp. We were a little ways apart from getting that done," Maher said. "There are a lot of good people there, I absolutely wish them the best. But I'm really excited to be here."
Maher said he was ready mentally and physically.
"I feel like I'm better now than I ever have been," he said. "Part of that is because I did get that surgery (labral repair of the hip) done when I did and I was young enough to be able to bounce back."
Maher's wife, Jenna, and daughters Maela (who turns three on Tuesday) and seven-month-old Laekyn, will soon join him in Ottawa.
"If I have a good day, bad day … it doesn't matter … they run and give me a hug," Maher said. "It has been an absolute blast."
CHAMPS IN THE HOUSE: The Redblacks checked out Parliament for a few hours Friday, with a tour of the House of Commons. Campbell, who had never visited, called it a great experience. "We had called a couple of months ago to see if we could arrange something like that," he said. "It's great for the Canadian guys and for the American guys to see what our government is about. It was impressive. The players appreciated it. Last week, I said we had the green light to go to Parliament and asked if anybody didn't want to go. Everyone was definitely in and wanted to see it."
THE GM SAYS: Speaking about Thursday's pre-season game, Desjardins gave his assessment: "Our offence did very well early. There was a lull for a bit. Then we picked it up and were able to get the winning drive at the end. Like any pre-season game, we saw some very positive things and some things we need to work on. At the same time, we had a good opportunity to evaluate a lot of new players which is really the main crux of pre-season games anyways."
THE END AROUND: After making a spectacular diving catch Thursday night, receiver/returner Daje Johnson (three catches for 53 yards) was on the field, but took it easy on Saturday … DB Keelan Johnson led Ottawa in tackles on Thursday with four. Jean-Philippe Bolduc, A.J. Jefferson, Avery Ellis and Sherrod Baltimore had three each … Sixteen different Redblacks caught passes … Ottawa's leading rusher was rookie Ed Ilnicki, with three carries for 26 yards, including a 21-yarder … After a rough start, backup QB Ryan Lindley finished up 16-for-25 passes for 133 yards.

About MaishaCare
MaishaCare was founded by a group of like-minded individuals from Silicon Valley-CA and New Delhi-India, who believe that expanding health care for the less fortunate can not only better the lives of the individuals who are treated, but also boost the economy, improve well-being, and spur development of the world's poorest areas. We also work towards other philanthropic causes such as funding blind schools, polio drives, education etc. Our founders and medical partners include savvy professionals with the passion to use their individual expertise to help better the lives of individuals and their communities.
Everyone who is involved in MaishaCare is committed to the idea that giving a person back their health empowers them to find the strength and motivation to pay their good fortune forward. A person who has regained their health is a person who can contribute to their community and help make a difference in the lives of those around them. Without organizations like MaishaCare, most of the beneficiaries that we support would have no hope of receiving the medical care that they desperately need. By putting 100% less taxes and fees of every donation towards medical treatment, we hope to do as much as possible for those who need care most.A�We are working towards filing for a tax exemption status with the IRS and will soon be able to channel all the donation towards the beneficiaries. Once IRS approves the tax exemption status, all donations 27 months prior to the approval date are automatically tax exempted.

Partnerships with Medical and Charity organizations Worldwide
MaishaCare aims to create partnerships with medical and charity organizations worldwide. In the initial phase all our beneficiaries and medical providers are in India, and we soon hope to expand worldwide. All of our medical and philanthropic partners area licensed and registered to practice in their respective countries and have upstanding reputations within their communities. Through these trusted partnerships, we are able to give our beneficiaries access to health treatments that may, in fact, save their lives. Our medical partners play a great role in our mission to provide health care to those who would not normally have such access.
Make an Impact by Getting Involved
The most direct way for you to get involved is to donate. Every time you fund medical treatments on MaishaCare, you help grow our community, expand our reach, and spread our message. To whatever extent you are able, donate money for medical treatment and ask your friends and family to do the same. By doing so, you can help make a real difference in the lives of real people.

an independent electronic music outing set out to redefine the scene with its unique melodies and compelling layers
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) October 08, 2015
This September, an independent electronic music outing is set out to redefine the scene with its unique melodies and compelling layers. The album is called 'Output,' and it's a four track EP from Alex Rush and Zinovy Shersher. The fruitful collaboration aims to thrill underground music fans with dramatic soundscapes and intelligent compositions.
Consisting of the single 'We Fall,' along with other resonant tracks 'Bombilate,' 'Arrowhead,' and 'Growler,' Output explores a myriad of aural landscapes. The opening tune boasts minimal percussion, attention-grabbing guitar, and beautiful bass melodies. 'Bombilate' is a dark, bassy adventure through German techno roots.
The tracks, 'Arrowhead' and 'Growler,' close the EP with hard hitting drum sections chock-full of aggressive build up and frenzies that techno fans will clamor over for months. The drum pieces, vocals, and synthesizers on 'Output' blend into an authentic, wholly original experience very much worth the time of any fan of electronic music.
Alex Rush is a DJ and producer working out of Las Vegas, Nevada, though he hails from the house music capital, Chicago. Since his childhood, he's been immersed in music and had the opportunity to see the growing Chicago house scene as it unwittingly paved the way for the modern EDM movement. Upon turning eighteen, Rush moved to Las Vegas and enrolled in 'The Scratch Academy,' a world famous DJ school in Los Angeles, CA. He's currently works with established producers and DJs in the underground scene. He is continuing his education all while performing all across the West Coast and, of course, the burgeoning Las Vegas music scene.
Zinovy Shersher is an award winning composer, producer, and musical artist. His list of achievements is eclipsed only by the number of organizations he's involved with. He's a voting member of the Grammy's, president of Ariel Records, and an honorary member of the American Songwriting Awards. Shersher wasn't born in the United States, however, but rather the former Soviet Union. Upon graduating with a master's in arts and music, Shersher embarked to the U.S in 1980. Since then, he's toured extensively, released a massive repertoire of art and music, produced award winning records, and collaborated with incredible performers and orchestras. On top of all that, he's participated in a number of music videos, animated features, and movie scores as well, including the Sean Connery classic, 'The Hunt for Red October.'
Having met through a mutual friend, Shersher and Rush quickly discovered a unique chemistry that has resulted in 'Output.' Zinovy and Alex would like to thank Brandon A. Godfrey and Franck Dona for their production talents and creative assistance. This dynamic collaboration was recently released in September and the project will be submitted for the Grammy's in February as well. Distributed by Shersher's label, Ariel Records International, the album will be available digitally across retail services such as iTunes and Amazon as well as streaming platforms such as Spotify. International and local radio stations are set to spin 'Output' as well.

In general, the dog seems to perform the major amount of front-leg bending at the elbow joint,
compared to the other joints, during many movements.
Note the "pointing" or reaching movement at the left - and others below.
Humerus and elbow angles.
We're especially interested in the bending angles of the various leg bones,
for adaptation to walking robots.
The picture at the right shows that in many large dogs, the elbow and humerus (upper leg bone)
are angled slightly backwards when the animal is standing up straight.
Compare to the dog skeleton on the anatomy page.
Note that, in this position, the foreleg bones (radius and ulna) are vertical, while the
shoulder blade (scapula) angles backwards above the shoulder joint about the same as
the humerus below the shoulder joint, such that a vertical line can be drawn from the top
of the scapula straight down to the feet.
Despite a couple of bends, the front leg overall is built much like a vertical column.
<| Elbow During Step Recovery Phase
Deer Creep.
On a similar note, in Colorado the Mule Deer are everywhere. They have rather
long lower leg segments, and spend a lot of time
grazing in tall grass, etc. Because of their long legs, they are actually a bit cumbersome at
walking. When grazing, they move slowly with their heads down, and use a walking gait similar
to the creep, where they move only 1 leg at a time, while
maintaining a tripod stance with the other 3 legs.
However, even with heads down they keep their bodies fully erect, and lift each leg high to
clear the deep grass. Rather interesting to watch.
The actually "lift" the lower leg segment up, forward, and over the grass, mainly by sharp
bending at the "elbow" joint. They perform a similar movement with the rear leg, using
deep bending at the "knee" - which is comparable height above the ground as the front elbow.
(cf, points 5 and 13 on the horse).
This interest in elbow movement was inspired by the fact that our first upright-leg robot
walkers had problems with ground clearance of the legs - especially during the recovery
[forward movement] phases.
We originally tried symmetrical movements of the humerus (and femur in back), and had
consistent drag problems. And the problems were even worse with the octopod Gimlee-U8 than
with Nico the quadruped - and worse yet when longer tibias were used.
The dog has an "additional" bending joint in the pastern ["knee"] in front, to help
increase ground clearance, as well as the hock joint in back.
Our robots have only 2 joints per leg, and adding another one represents a significant
increase in mechanical complexity.
We needed a way to increase ground clearance, and started looking at dogs doing slow walking
movements, where there is minimal up-and-down bouncing of the body.
The solution seems to be to add an additional draw-back movement of the elbow after the power
stroke is finished, in order to pull the foot far enough above the ground that it doesn't
scrape when the lower leg section is rotated forwards.
In other words, we originally tried to emulate something akin to
Jake's casual walk,
but with only 2 joints in the robot's legs, we couldn't get a sufficient amount of ground
clearance. In short, symmetrical femur movements don't work well with simpler legs.
<| More on Elbow Bending
Deep Elbow Bends.
A dog, investigating items at ground level, performs what amounts to deep knee-bends (right),
except they are actually "deep elbow-bends". Here, the two front feet are placed at staggered
positions, so the midline of the shoulders is balanced between the feet.
From the position of the right foot, it can be ascertained that the right elbow is heavily
bent and the right humerus is close to horizontal.
Sometimes a dog will simultaneously bend both front legs in the manner the left leg is
bent here.
Wobbly Deer Rising.
Observations on the local Mule deer show that they have a more difficult time than dogs
when rising from a prone position. First off, when sitting, they are not nearly as comfortable
looking as the dog, and tend to sit with one front and one rear leg tucked under, and with
the other rear extended out sideways and the other front extended out forwards.
Then, upon rising, they go through a somewhat wobbly sequence of raising their rear ends
first using their front knees as pivot point, and then raising their front ends
one leg at a time.
The front leg is bent under at the knee, since a straight knee would apparently present
too much stress considering the long length of the lower leg segments
- (this may have some bearing on robot leg design).
This situation is clearly related to the metacarpal and metatarsal (cannon) bones of the
(cf, horse points 8, 17) being so much longer than
those of the dog [points 20, 28].
Note the very short segment length between the shepherd's front "knee" (actually, pastern
joint point 18, comparable to the human wrist)
and its paw (picture, above left).
Dogs Jumping.
During jumping, the major amount of bending is in the elbow joint to get the front legs to
clear the hurdle. At the right, the upper leg (ie, humerus) is barely forward of vertical,
while the lower leg segments are horizontal. The dog at left has its front legs pulled up
even farther, due to the height of the jump.
Most pictures of dogs jumping are similar to these.
<| Horse Advantage
The pictures to the right capture a trotting horse in 2 successive frames (movement right to
left), and show how ground clearance is increased by sharp bending of the lowest segment.
Clearance is about double what it would be were the segment not bent back.
Because of the extra segment bending, the horse has very high ground clearance
- even with the humerus (above the elbow) at approx 45 degree angle to vertical, as shown.
In the horse, a long armbone / humerus (meaning at least 50-60% of the length of the
scapulus) is considered to be advantageous regards both increased movement of the elbow
forwards during striding, and also tucking of the limbs under during jumping [Loving97].
A short armbone leads to short choppy strides, less ability for lateral movements, less
ability to tuck the legs under during jumping, and also more impact stress on the front limbs.
In addition, Loving describes that a long and sloping shoulder (scapula), with about
45 degree angle, is advantageous over a more vertical shoulder, regards range of front-back
movement, stride length, ground impact, and tucking of the legs.
Notice the scapula angle on the horse skeleton.
The sloping shoulder and long humerus work together, allowing the legs to tuck in further
during flexion and extend farther forward during running.
In passing, we note that Loving indicates that both short and long cannon bones
are common to horses, but that long forearms (radius+ulna) coupled with short cannon bones
are most preferable in giving good mechanical advantage.
A good ratio is seen on the horse skeleton diagram.
Longer cannons reduce mechanical advantage, increase stress on the front legs,
and result in more injuries. Interestingly, speeder
Pronghorns, and also
deer, have long and thin cannon bones.
Last note - ideal
are 50-75% the length of the cannon bones, and slope backwards
at 30-40 degrees or so from vertical for optimal shock impact.
In summary, the strong rear-end muscles ultimately provide the power and range for jumping
(and for galloping), but the conformation and range of movement of the front legs are
critical to getting the body over the hurdles.

We find that the number of independent directors on corporate boards increases by approximately 24% following financial covenant violations in credit agreements. Most of these new directors have links to creditors. Firms that appoint new directors after violations are more likely to issue new equity, and to decrease payout, operational risk and CEO cash compensation than firms without such appointments. We conclude that a firm's board composition, governance, and policies are shaped by current and past credit agreements.

Although Rubens was a Flemish artist, he spent a fair bit of his time in London, working for Charles I; he even appears to have offered his own views on foreign policy to try to bring England and Spain together (it didn't work, though both countries gave him knighthoods). It's not surprising then that if you want to see Rubens's work, you don't have to go to Brussels, Antwerp or Mechelen – nor to the Prado – because a lot of it was commissioned by British buyers, and ended up in British collections.
Here are my top ten Rubens pictures in London. There's a bit of legwork (and a few admissions fees) involved in finding them all – but if you want a whirlwind tour of Rubens, Room 29 of the National Gallery will net you a superb haul in one fell swoop.

Scolari says God helps him to tide over Chelseas injury crisesOctober 4th, 2008 - 12:04 pm ICT by ANI
London, Oct.4 (ANI): Chelsea coach Phil Scolari says he is religious, and believes that God has helped him tied over the clubs injury crises.
Scolari said: I am religious because I prayed for this. God help me. And sometimes God helps me. I prayed for Didier, as Didier is part of my family. All of these players are my family.
"When I saw the injury, I asked my God Look out for this player. He has tried to play for three months and he has worked hard, the Sun quoted him, as saying.
"I think God listened and he gave to Didier one more chance to play next month, Scolari
said. (ANI)

Fighting for Our Freedom from Hurry, Disorganization and Overwhelm
I was up late last night, watching dramatic fireworks in Newton, Massachusetts. The night was hot and the fireworks spectacular. What a show! With fireworks and gatherings we celebrate our freedoms and the overthrow of the British dictator, King George the Third. He was not viewed as a dictator by the British, but by the American colonists.
What made King George III a dictator? He and the British Parliament gave the American colonists no say in policies that directly affected their lives. Therefore, the colonists took their lives into their own hands and declared that they were independent from dictatorial British rule.
Then, they had to fight for that independence. They endured hard fighting, and painful losses for month after month, season after season. Months became years. The colonists were inexperienced fighters at war with a fully trained, well financed army. The colonists were fierce and they knew that their dreams and their lives were at stake. As we know, the colonists prevailed.
We too need to fight our dictators. We may need to fight for months or years. And who might our dictators be? They are the old patterns that sap our energy and cause us to be asleep. We are unaware of how old fears, old greeds, old angers can jump into our driver's seat and take over our lives. We can spend years running after stale dreams and incoherent wishes. To win our freedom we must be brave, we must face our fear of emptiness, we must move beyond our old family scripts and discover what is true now. We must leave behind some old familiar comforts and the old familiar discomforts head into the unknown.
That is what our freedom fighters did in 1775, and we can too.

Private and public laboratories providing water testing services are urged to check they have the expertise to meet an increased demand for freshwater phytoplankton analysis during Queensland's annual season for blue-green algae (BGA).
Cyanobacteria and alga scientist Lindsay Hunt, from Jarvis Hunt Consultancy, said the peak time for BGA blooms every year occurs between February and April.
"Phytoplankton analysis in the peak season requires short turnaround times, with clients expecting a high degree of competence and consistency.
"But a day or two to provide accurate data is a huge challenge, given that even an experienced algae counter will start to feel fatigued after six or seven hours per day, over several weeks, analysing water samples," Ms Hunt explained.
Cyanobacteria, commonly referred to as BGAs, are a group of photosynthetic microorganisms that survive and flourish in all kinds of ecosystems. They are usually too small to be seen; but when they form large colonies ('blooms') the mass can take on a paint-like appearance on the water's surface.
However, not all BGAs form scums, so it may not always be obvious. This is why reliable, timely and accurate monitoring and toxin analysis is essential.
Ms Hunt said that distinguishing the many different species of phytoplankton in water requires expert training and knowledge, but not all water testing facilities are set up or have the skillset to provide accurate reports on levels of BGAs or the toxins they produce.
"One of the biggest issues for these laboratories is being prepared for the fluctuations in demand.
"Many service providers only have enough staff to cope with low to moderate demand, so during the peak season for BGAs the existing team can experience increased stress, injury and fatigue from the extra workload.
"There's often a general lowering of the quality and reliability of the analysis, too," Ms Hunt said.
Cross-training staff who are specialists in other types of microbial analysis to accurately identify the cyanobacteria causing the bloom is a practical solution.
"With properly trained staff, the additional 30 samples that might arrive each day for testing can be accommodated and you don't have to outsource some of the work to other laboratories and risk inconsistent service quality.
"It's also about recruiting the right staff and creating the right environment for them to work in so they can do their job properly," Ms Hunt said.
Jarvis Hunt Consultancy has introduced new services to help laboratories ensure their in-house teams can provide reliable and timely data specifically about BGAs.
As well as intensive developmental training on site or online, Jarvis Hunt offers help with quality assurance, accreditation, legislative compliance, optimal set up and workflows, recruitment, and contract counting.
"We want to help laboratories know how to identify the actual phytoplankton that's causing a client's problem so the best mitigation and prevention strategy can be recommended. That's really important for avoiding risks to human and animal health as well as the local environment.
Jarvis Hunt Consultancy was established in 2013 in response to the growing demand for reliable, specialist services in the quest for optimal water quality, ecological balance, and sustainable management systems.
About Jarvis Hunt Consultancy www.jarvishuntconsultancy.com.au
Based in Ipswich, Queensland, Jarvis Hunt is the only consultancy in Australia offering a comprehensive package of in-house training plus specialist advice and contract-based technical services, including:
- Micro-ecology consulting and analysis
- Freshwater phytoplankton analysis, sampling, monitoring, training
- Laboratory set-up, management practices and Quality Assurance
- In-house contract counting
- Routine microbiological analysis of water samples
Drawing on more than 15 years of experience as a practising phycologist and research manager, Jarvis Hunt's principal scientist Lindsay Hunt is now sharing her expertise with a range of clients whose objectives are similar: understanding how micro-organisms affect water quality and finding solutions for water quality problems.
About Blue Green Algae (Cyanobacteria)
- Blue-Green Algae (BGA) occur naturally in most marine and freshwater aquatic systems.
- Cyanobacteria have been found in the planet's oldest fossils and created the atmosphere that made all current life on earth possible.
- When there is an imbalance of the levels of BGA in an ecosystem, some species can produce toxins that have serious health implications for humans, animals, birds and livestock.
- A bloom is identified as a discernible increase in algal numbers causing changes to the water's colour, taste, odour, turbidity, as well as impacting on the health of other aspects of the ecosystems, such as birds, fish, frogs, etc.
- Cyanobacteria blooms can occur in any warm, still or slow-moving freshwater that contains nutrients such as fertiliser runoff or septic tank overflows, including rivers, streams, wetlands, natural and man-made lakes, dams, estuaries, inlets, bulk water reservoirs, irrigation channels, stormwater drains, sewers, and wastewater treatment plants.
- BGA blooms usually flourish in the summer months when warmer temperatures, increased rainfall and incidence of flooding can change the levels of nutrients entering an ecosystem.
- BGA blooms in cooler months are often caused by unusually high levels of nutrients flowing from floods and rainfall.
- Signs of the environmental impact from BGA blooms include odour and taste changes, but the primary one is the discolouration of the water to verdant green and or vibrant blue, and a foam or scum-like layer on top of the water.
- Dense blooms can block sunlight and consume all the oxygen in the water, killing off other plants and animals.
- Toxins associated with cyanobacteria have been known to damage the nervous system and liver, upset the gastrointestinal system, and promote tumour growth.

Cannabis-infused treats are one of our many specialties at LBA, and our canna-chefs really take the cake when it comes to producing handcrafted and deliciously flavored edibles. Voted Best Edible Brand in Oregon, all of our sweet treats are crafted with a highly concentrated dose of food-grade BHO for maximum impact and fantastic flavor. Ranging from fruity soft chews to classic hard candy and coconut macaroons, there's something for everyone. As with any cannabis-infused edible, it's best to start small and wait 60-90 minutes for the full effect.
For one thing, discretion. With edibles you don't have to be Capt. Contact High, followed around by a billowing cloud of smoke like that dirty kid in 'Peanuts.' A few discreet nibbles will get you where you want to be. Plus, longevity. While smoking marijuana brings immediate results, edibles typically stay in the system for hours, providing sustained, long-lasting pain relief and pleasure. Many users also point to the harmful effect of smoke on the lungs as a reason to opt for edibles. Not to mention that Lunchbox Alchemy's edibles are mouthwatering treats.

to Bird Thumbnail Images
I just have a thing for "Big Red," the Northern Cardinal. Is there another bird around with more color and verve and life? I've photographed him for years, but every time a handsome male pops up and strikes a pose, as did this one at Ranch for the Birds in West Texas, I can't resist.
