What a great watch.
At first sight it looks like an un-issued ORD DEPT military watch, but the engraving looks to say that it is a gift to someone in the armed forces, and presented by Bulova Watch Co!
Of course, unless corroborated by a former owner or any papers accompanying the watch, this is just unknown, but it looks genuine to me.
Fantastic watch, buddy!
I'd say US ORD, unreleased hence the caseback markings which were probably added by some former owner as requested of the engraver. Dial appears to be a refinish as the radium, or lume does not match the hands and it should be the same. Dial could also be a NOS replacement with new lume in the hands.
Tough call but I'd still say " Military ", Mark, your the most knowledgeable of this kind of watch. What do you think?
If you look at the 10 AK/10 AKCSH military models in the watch DB, you will see several watches with mint dials, mine included!
Maybe the minute and hour hands have been replaced, that is all, it is even possible they came from another milwatch.

From The Socialist newspaper, 29 June 2016
US presidential election
Sanders' strategy runs up against the buffers
Despite left-wing presidential candidate Bernie Sanders saying he will work with his rival Hillary Clinton to "stop Trump" and "transform the Democratic Party", millions of his supporters are looking for a way to continue the "political revolution" writes Bryan Koulouris, Socialist Alternative national organiser
There is a massive political polarisation in US society reflected in this election. Donald Trump is the most disliked presidential candidate in modern history, and Hillary Clinton is the second most disliked!
The primary victory of the right-populist Trump and the tremendous enthusiasm for left-winger Bernie Sanders are nothing short of a political earthquake in US society.
Trump whipped up racism, sexism and anti-immigrant posturing while opposing capitalist free trade deals and simultaneously saying he'd "destroy Isis" while calling for a more isolationist foreign policy.
Sanders on the other hand mobilised millions of young people with his call for a "political revolution against the billionaire class", his refusal to accept money from corporations, and his pro-working class programme.
Trump and Sanders have one thing in common though: they were bitterly opposed by the leadership of both the Republican and Democratic parties.
From voter fraud, to coin tosses, to illegal campaigning and attempted sabotage, the Democratic Party leadership pulled out its undemocratic tools to stop Sanders. It also used the capitalist media to both ignore and to attack him.
Despite this, Sanders says he will work with Hillary Clinton to "stop Trump" and "transform the Democratic Party". Meanwhile, the millions of Sanders supporters are looking for a way forward to continue the "political revolution".
Kshama Sawant, Socialist Alternative Seattle city councillor, initiated #Movement4Bernie. Its petition calling on Sanders to run all the way to the November election and form a new party of the 99% has around 120,000 signatures, and support for this call is growing.
In one CNN poll, Jill Stein, the left-wing Green Party candidate is polling at 7% of the vote with most of this support coming from people who have been "feeling the Bern".
While this poll comes before the tidal wave of "lesser evilism" against Trump hits left-wing voters, it shows the current search for an alternative among Sanders supporters.
Trump and the right-populism he represents cannot be defeated by relying on the Democratic Party. Its big business policies directly lead to support for right-wing populism, such as the free trade deals and bank bailouts it has championed.
As we have pointed out repeatedly, an establishment icon like Hillary Clinton is the worst way to defeat Trump in this election. If defeating Trump was truly the Democratic establishment's top priority, why did they do everything in their power to stop the most effective anti-Trump candidate, Bernie Sanders?
Break with Democrats
Further, if Clinton wins this election do we really believe it will put an end to the threat of right-wing Republicans?
It is only a working class programme that can effectively combat right-populism. That is why we demand that Sanders breaks from the Democratic Party and runs in the general election to begin building a new party that can combat both right-wing populism and the corporate-controlled Democrats rather than letting Donald Trump become the only well known 'anti-establishment' candidate.
The Sanders campaign has given political expression to working class anger at the billionaire class, particularly among young people. Over 1.5 million people attended Sanders' rallies. This shows the potential for what could be done to continue the "political revolution against the billionaire class".
A majority of young people in the US - the best educated and most diverse, yet most indebted generation in history - now prefer "socialism" over "capitalism", even if their idea of socialism is limited and confused.
This is not just a passive preference though; young people are moving into action through the Sanders campaign, the fight for a $15 an hour minimum wage, Black Lives Matter and struggles against sexism and homophobia.
Throughout Bernie's campaign, there has been a clear contradiction: he's running a campaign of strident opposition to corporate America within a party controlled by those same corporations he's fighting.
On the left, Jill Stein of the Green Party is the strongest presidential candidate. Socialist Alternative has gathered support for the idea of Sanders running alongside her all the way to November to continue the fight against the billionaire class.
Stein has a left-wing programme and is gaining some name recognition. At Socialist Alternative's recent national convention, we agreed to support her campaign while building the socialist movement necessary to end the poverty, war and misery of capitalism.
If Clinton wins, then the Democratic Party will be overseeing a system in crisis and carrying out attacks on working people, youth and the oppressed. Movements would then come into conflict with the establishment Democrats while Sanders pushes people to "reform" the Party.
These contradictions would provide possibilities for independent left and working class politics. To fully prepare for immense opportunities in the future, socialists must skillfully but boldly stand up against "lesser evil" pressures and put forward a strategy and programme to win victories for working people.
Socialist Alternative in the US made a breakthrough for independent working-class politics and socialist ideas by getting Kshama Sawant elected twice to Seattle city council.
We led the way on the movement for a $15 an hour minimum wage, and were a socialist pole of attraction in the Sanders campaign. This preparatory work in advance of the mass upheavals coming in US society will provide tremendous opportunities to organise for the socialist transformation of society.

Below is a brief description and an image of the new community sign that we will have installed in the next 10 weeks.
Approximately two years ago Tom (Our Vice President) observed a community sign at a property located off of Pine Island Road that was similar in design to the signs that the City of Tamarac uses. Tom called the city to inquire about the sign and they told him about a city program to beautify the community by installing new community entrance signs throughout the city at no cost to the community. Tom presented this information to the BOD who all agreed to request that Westwood Five be added to the list of communities to receive a new sign and the city agreed. The process has taken longer than expected, however we are now just weeks away from having our new sign installed to replace the existing sign at the clubhouse. The image below is what the new sign will look like.
Clubhouse Remodel Project
South Pool Beautification Project
Residents and Board members helped the landscape company work on South Pool improvement project. Eventually this "garden box" will be transformed into a new community entrance sign.

Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton
Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton is the subject of this hand-colored daguerreotype portrait made in the 1850s. Shelton (née Royster) was engaged to Edgar Allan Poe on two different occasions. The first engagement was in 1826, when Poe was a seventeen-year-old student at the University of Virginia. Royster's family opposed the match, and the engagement was broken. Royster subsequently married an older and wealthier suitor, Alexander Shelton.
In September 1849, less than a month before his death, Poe became engaged again to the then-widowed Shelton. Poe died ten days before the wedding date.

Dr Rowan Williams says opponents of immigration display 'confusion'
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, risked conflict with the new Government when he criticised opponents of immigration. He also challenged the view of his predecessor that migration "threatens" British identity.
Dr Williams said that those who feared new arrivals showed "confusion" and a "lack of proper confidence" in society's ability to learn.
The Government is pledged to set annual limits on non-EU migration.
Although he did not refer directly to him, his speech was interpreted as a critique of Lord Carey of Clifton, who wrote in The Times last year that migration threatens "the very ethos or DNA of our nation".
Dr Williams, speaking in a lecture in London sponsored by the Council for Assisting Refugee Academics, said: "The vocal anxieties we hear…

It was a Thursday at Ohio State and my girls and I were out running wild. Ladies night meant no cover, and prowling the beer soaked floors of clubs–long reduced to rubble in later years by suits with expensive pens and an ill-timed fire along High Street.
It was our night and we were in full swing with late night disguises that took hours and a couple mix tapes to create. There might be a hickey or two for someone to blend before class tomorrow by the time this night was over, but we were game. We needed to shake off what week we had in classes and have an OBE on the dance floor to celebrate a Friday that was impatiently knocking on the door of tomorrow.
Tonight was about cheap Zimas and grunge/alt rock/techno at Mean Mr. Mustards. It was our joint in the early nineties, with sure-fire college-priced specials and a fun night out. However, trouble across the room would soon step in front of us.
She was beautiful in that feisty college girl way, and we weren't the only ones to notice. Unfortunately, her friends were too busy either hunting for attention or getting it. First mistake, the divide and conquer. Drunk wolves make horrible squads, but lucky for her we didn't decide to hang back, order a pizza and crash early.
As a group, we rolled deep and followed the code–show up together, shine together and step out together. You could get numbers, but you weren't going to be some guaranteed nameless Jane by the next morning with only a rented sheet and a refrigerator to call home–not on our watch.
We cemented that rule after a new freshman came up missing after her friends thought that a South Campus party was more important than waiting. After dodging through an alley to catch up, she was abducted and taken too soon from the ones who loved her best.
My cousin and I were stopped on the way to class by the news crew the next morning and learned about this new jungle by having an overzealous reporter shoving a mic in our faces.
Damn, it really was like they said in UVC–the streets and most importantly, the alleys were different places after the sun went down. And rest her soul, this sister found out with her life why a true squad never leaves their own behind.
I had taken to wearing a biker jacket so I had enough pockets for necessities and wouldn't be collared with a purse. It was my most-loved college purchase from a store called Stone Mountain, that had great beaded curtains and always smelled of Nag Champa. Besides, what little I had in its zippered pockets was mine and I was never in the mood to wrestle someone for it. Of course it was my go to for this evening out paired with my ripped jeans, form-fitting white t-shirt, and sturdy black biker boots. I had learned my lesson by ruining one pair of shoes on this dance floor, plus if I had to get all House of Pain up in the place, they were a perfect fit.
All of us were blue collar country. Without pretense and without filters. Scraped skin and bruises didn't faze us, since on the daily in our separate lives we earned badges of honor that we never wished to cover up. The country breeds a special kind of girl that the city refines. The kind who can be on your arm, but never afraid to get dirty and break all nails if need be. We were those girls.
The girl we had spotted was cornered by some anxious frat–in his rugby shirt and lettered hat to the back. His eyes were not interested in her as a person. They showed a glaze of one too many shots and beer chasers with the guys and she was his trophy whether she wanted to be or not. Her frame was way too fragile to resist him and as I said before her friends were too distracted and alcohol soaked to be of much help to her.
We had already discussed amongst ourselves the plan, should it jump off so I knew the girls and I were on high alert. Moving toward the cramped dance floor we feigned celebration but were revolted by this guy's lame Swayze impersonation which she was trying to politely rebuff. Her eyes said it all and as she nervously looked around for backup he grabbed her wrist.
I broke through them with the old, "I'm tipsy and friendly excuse me" move and started the backup unbeknownst to her. He was having none of it, and after I went between, seemed frustrated that I broke up his grind party and went toward her. With the loud music of Nine Inch Nails at a fevered pitch I talked in her ear and asked if she was okay. She wasn't and couldn't find her friends. I told her to play along. I gave her a hug like I hadn't seen her in years and started talking the "how have you been" stuff. The rest of the squad started dancing and built a girl wall around her.
Luckily the huge, blond mosh pit guy was there like always and started moshing on cue. He was straight outta Headbanger's Ball and was there just for the music and putting more miles on his Doc Martens. We moved her behind him and as he started slam dancing, came between drunk frat and us.
He was a perfect reinforcement, because if you tangled with him on the dance floor, you'd easily end up with a concussion. He was there at Mustard's every Thursday night, and never was I so happy that he was there, than on that particular one.
We ushered her off the floor and walked around with her as if we all were friends. We might not have been friends, but we all were sisters. She thanked us, found her friends and got out of there fast, while Mr. Dirty Dancing wannabe gave me a look of disgust, stumbled back to the watering hole and into the obscurity of his bro bunch.
In conclusion, we may not have been able to save one freshman's life, but in solidarity hopefully saved this girl from something she clearly did not want to be a part of.
Squad goals are for real, and if you aren't about that life, maybe you use the term "friend" a little too loosely.

Java Name ChangeFuture versions of Java will bear a slightly different name.
The "2" in the full name will be dropped. So, now they would be -
|JavaTM Platform, Standard Edition
|JavaTM Platform, Enterprise Edition
|JavaTM Platform, Micro Edition
The short names will spell out Java -
|J2SETM is now JavaTM SE
|J2EETM is now JavaTM EE
|J2METM is now JavaTM ME
The version numbers will be single digit - so it would be 6 not 6.0.
So Mustang Standard edition will be named "Java SE 6".

Pitched in the shade of giant acacias, this small and exclusive tented haven offers 360° views of wildlife crossing the surrounding plains, the river area with its perennial vegetation and dense green reed beds that attract birds and smaller wildlife species.
The migration passes through Namiri Plains from October to May and unleashes spectacular predator sightings during December and January as the resident big cats feast on the passing herds of wildebeest and zebra.
Explore the Namiri Plains on daily game drives; enjoy sunrise breakfast picnics on top of Soit Le Motonyi rock or sundowners on top of a kopje. With your nearest neighbour over 45 minutes away, you may be excused for thinking that the Namiri Plains belong to you.
Namiri Plains is located where the southern short grass plains meet the acacia woodland. The Ngare Nanyuki underground river creates pockets of permanent water that support year-round concentrations of wildlife. With easy prey available throughout the year there is more than enough big cat activity here and the dramatic rocky outcrops that dot the plains serve as excellent observation points for cheetah, lion and leopard on the lookout for prey.
All tents have en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets. The camp runs of solar and generator power and can provide battery charging.
The rains bring The Great Migration from October to May when the eastern plains are blanketed with new grass. As far as the eye can see, the plains are filled with wildebeest and zebra. From December to January Namiri Plains is the center stage for explosive action as the big cats feast on the abundant prey. Sightings of wildebeest being brought down, voracious feeding sessions as well as the inevitable disputes between the apex and lesser predators, around the carcass, provides fascinating viewing and outstanding photo opportunities.
During the rains this area of the Serengeti is home to some of the highest concentrations of hyena in Africa and clans of up to 30 are regularly spotted scavenging on kills. Zebra, Thompson's gazelle and eland also migrate to Namiri Plains and herds of over a hundred and more are commonplace.
Serena Safari Lodge is a large lodge centrally located, adjacent to the famous Western Corridor and Grumeti River. It has been designed to blend completely into the living landscape. It is well located for the migration between December and May.
Carefully planned to bring guests as close as possible to the magnificent spectacle of the Great Migration, Serengeti Under Canvas is situated at a variety of private campsites throughout the National Park, moving according to the path of the migratory herds.
Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp is situated in the private and remote Western Corridor of the Serengeti. Set on the banks of an oxbow lake, it is the perfect vantage point to watch the vast masses of the Great Migration making their dramatic river crossing.
Dunia Camp offers superb game viewing all year round in two of the Serengeti's prime areas, the southern plains and the central Serengeti Valley. After a day of game viewing, the strategic location of the camp provides a private and peaceful base.
One of the best-kept secrets in Africa, Sayari Camp is tucked away in a remote region of the northern Serengeti, perfectly positioned to witness the great migration crossing the Mara River between July and October.
Sabora Tented Camp is a premier tented camp in the private Grumeti Reserve, ideal for the migration between May and June. The camp is located in the open savannah plains of the Grumeti.

"Hotels usually aren't shy about showcasing their perks. Whether its designer toiletries in the bathrooms, expansive outdoor pools, a luxurious spa and fitness center or a big name restaurant, chances are, hoteliers want you to know what extras are at your disposal.
But here's a secret: many properties also have amenities that they don't advertise. Why? Because these hush-hush hotel perks work wonders for garnering press, but can cost a fortune. As a result, hoteliers publicize these pricey (for the hotel that is) extras with care. Now, we're blowing the cover on some of the best under-the-radar freebies.
From free car service to grocery shopping to decadent, made-to-order breakfasts, these are the bonuses you need to know about before you book your next hotel…."

(PAINESVILLE, Ohio) – Walsh fell in its regular season finale with a 67-60 defeat at Lake Erie in Great Midwest Athletic Conference action on Thursday evening. The Cavaliers (19-7, 14-6) had its four-game win streak snapped at the hands of the Storm (14-13, 9-10) and must wait until Saturday's Findlay-Hillsdale game to learn its tournament seed.
The Cavaliers put themselves in a position to win midway through the second half as an 18-4 run gave them a 58-54 lead with 5:07 to go in the game. However Lake Erie then went on a hot streak and closed the game on a 13-2 run.
Chandler Vaudrin and Sterling Christy were the only double-figure scorers for the Cavs and were both limited to 10 points each. Both players also pulled down seven rebounds to pace the Maroon and Gold.
The Storm was led by Gabe Kynard who totaled a game-high 16 points. Erron James added 14. Lamont Rhodes pulled down a game-high eight rebounds.
The Cavaliers move onto the G-MAC Tournament next week at top-seed Findlay. Seedings will be released Saturday evening.

Final Rule - Examinations of Working Places in Metal and Nonmetal Mines
April 9, 2018
Q.1. When does the Examinations rule take effect?
A. The final rule is effective on June 2, 2018.
Q.2. Who must comply with the Examinations rule?
A. Operators of metal and nonmetal mines, including independent contractors performing services or construction, must comply with the rule.
Q.3. What does the Examinations rule require?
A. The rule adds timing, notification, and recordkeeping requirements to the existing obligation to examine working places in Metal and Nonmetal mines. Specifically, mine operators must now:
- Have a competent person examine each working place for conditions that may adversely affect the safety or health of miners. The working place must be examined at least once each shift, before work begins or as miners begin work in that place;
- Promptly initiate appropriate corrective action when adverse conditions are found;
- Promptly notify miners in affected areas if adverse conditions are found and not corrected before miners are potentially exposed.
- Withdraw all persons from affected areas when alerted to any conditions that may present an imminent danger, until the danger is abated;
- Create an examination record before the end of each shift that includes:
- The name of the person conducting the examination;
- Date of the examination;
- Location of all areas examined;
- A description of each condition found that may adversely affect the safety or health of miners that is not promptly corrected; and
- The date when the described condition is corrected;
- Make the examination record available to MSHA and miners' representatives, with a copy provided upon request.
Q.4. How did the Working Place Examination standards change on June 2, 2018?
A. See the following table.
Standards prior to June 2, 2018

Available for review by MSHA
Available for inspection by MSHA and miners' representatives; provide a copy upon request
Competent person
April 9, 2018
Q.1. The rule requires that a competent person designated by the operator conduct the working place examination. Has the definition of a "competent person" changed?
A. The definition of competent person is unchanged. A competent person continues to be defined as a person having abilities and experience that fully qualify him or her to perform the duty assigned. (See §§ 56.2 and 57.2) A competent person should be able to recognize hazards and adverse conditions that are expected or known to occur in a specific work area or that are predictable to someone familiar with the mining industry.
July 31, 2018
Q.2. In the past task training records have been used to identify competent persons to MSHA. Is this still the case?
A. The definition of "competent person" has not changed. The mine operator is responsible for designating competent persons to conduct working place examinations after determining that they have the required experience and ability to perform such duties. Task training on the task of conducting examinations would be an appropriate part of that.
September 28, 2018
Q.3. Does a miner designated by the operator to do examinations of working places become an agent of the company when conducting these examinations
A. Conducting a workplace examination in and of itself does not make a miner an agent of the operator. That is, a competent person may be an agent based on the totality of his or her responsibilities at the mine, but the sole act of conducting a workplace examination does not make the miner an agent. The new requirement that the record must contain the name of the person conducting the examination does not change this.
Working place
April 9, 2018
Q.1 The final rule requires that each working place be examined. Has the definition of "working place" changed?
A. The definition of working place is unchanged. "Working place" continues to be defined as any place in or about a mine where work is being performed (see §§ 56.2 and 57.2). A working place applies to all locations at a mine where miners work in the extraction or milling processes.
Q.2. Are travelways considered working places?
A. Travelways are working places if they must be traveled to get to and from a work area. A working place would not include roads not directly involved in the mining process, administrative office buildings, parking lots, lunchrooms, toilet facilities, or inactive storage areas.
Q.3. At geographically-large mines with several working places, do examinations of the entire mine need to be conducted?
A. No, the mine operator is not required to examine the entire mine, unless miners begin work in each working place at the entire mine at the same time. If a miner needs to enter an area where a working place examination has not been conducted for that shift, a competent person must perform an examination before the miner begins work or as the miner begins working in that place.
Q.4. Are mine operators required to examine isolated, abandoned, or idle areas of mines or mills under this final rule?
A. Only if miners have to perform work in these areas during the shift.
Timing of Working Place Examination
April 9, 2018
Q.1. When must the working place examination be conducted?
A. The examination must be conducted at least once per shift before work begins or as miners begin work in that place. The examination should be conducted sufficiently close in time to the start of work so that an operator would reasonably expect conditions to not adversely change before work begins in the examined area.
Q.2. My operation works 24/7. Is it acceptable to perform the working place examination at the end of one shift to cover the oncoming shift?
A. Yes. For mines with consecutive shifts or those that operate on a 24-hour basis, a working place examination for the next shift may be made at the end of the previous shift, as long as the examination includes all places where miners will be working and takes place sufficiently close to the start of the next shift.
Q.3. Can miners continue to work in a working place where a competent person finds an adverse condition that may affect miners' safety and health (e.g., loose ground)?
A. Miners can continue to work in a place where an adverse condition is found, but the miners must be promptly notified so that they can avoid the condition. Mine operators must promptly initiate corrective action of an condition that may adversely affect miners' safety and health.
Q.4. Operators are required to take action when an adverse condition that may adversely affect miners' safety or health is not corrected promptly. How is "corrected promptly" interpreted?
A. Conditions that are corrected before miners are potentially exposed are considered to have been corrected promptly.
Q.5. Can the working place examination be combined with other examinations that are required before miners begin work (e.g., safety defects under § 56.14100; ground conditions under § 56.3401)?
A. The working place examination must be conducted before work begins or as miners begin work. Other examinations required under 30 C.F.R. Part 56 or 57 may be part of, or performed at the same time as, the working place examination.
Q.6. Are ongoing or additional examinations for adverse conditions required during the shift?
A. Working place examinations must be conducted at least once per shift before work begins or as miners begin work in that place. The rule does not limit operators to a single examination or prevent ongoing examinations throughout the shift. MSHA recognizes that mining operations are dynamic work environments where conditions are always changing. Operators should continue to identify and correct adverse conditions in the working place regardless of when they occur.
July 31, 2018
Q.7. If a maintenance shift begins after the start of a production shift, does the maintenance shift have to complete a workplace examination?
A. Typically mines have 1, 2, or 3 production (main) shifts (with support shifts, such as a maintenance shift occurring within the production shifts). The examination should be conducted sufficiently close in time to the start of work so that an operator would reasonably expect conditions to not adversely change before work begins in the examined area.
August 2, 2018
Q.8. What does the phrase "as miners begin work" mean?
A. It means that miners can travel to the working place with a competent person designated to conduct the examination of that working place, but the competent person must do an examination of an area before miners are potentially exposed to any adverse conditions there If the competent person finds an adverse condition, miners must be notified (or the condition corrected) before miners are exposed to it. Miners may begin to work in areas examined while the competent person continues with the examination.
Q.9. Our mine works one shift per day, from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Can the inspection be done the previous day for the following day? Say at the end of shift for the following day? We normally start so early in the morning that it's dark; hard to do an examination. So can that pre-shift exam be done at the end of the previous day's shift?
A. No. For a mine that operates one shift per day, an examination conducted towards the end of the prior shift would not be sufficiently close in time to the beginning of the next day shift. Mining conditions could significantly change overnight; therefore, an examination would need to be conducted before work begins or as miners begin working on the next day's shift.
Q.10. Our mine works two consecutive shifts each day, with the second shift crew arriving at the working place toward the end of the first shift to essentially relieve the first shift. Does the workplace exam conducted for the first shift still count or does the second shift have to conduct a different one?
A. A competent person must conduct an examination of the working place for each shift; therefore, in this case, a new examination must be conducted for the second shift.
April 9, 2018
Q.1. When must miners be notified of adverse conditions?
A. If adverse conditions are corrected before miners are potentially exposed, notification is not necessary. However, if adverse conditions cannot be corrected, miners working in affected areas must be notified "promptly." Notification is considered "prompt" if it occurs before miners are potentially exposed to the condition; that is, before miners begin working in affected areas or as soon as possible after work begins if the condition is discovered while they are working in an affected area.
Q.2 How are miners in affected areas to be notified of adverse conditions?
A. Notification can take any form that effectively notifies miners of an adverse condition so that they can take necessary precautions. In most cases, verbal notification or prominent, descriptive warning signage (e.g., "Danger – loose wire") would be needed to ensure that all miners in affected areas receive actual notification of the adverse conditio.
August 2, 2018
Q.3. Does the warning signage need to specify what exact adverse conditions exist?
A. The signage must contain a warning sufficient to inform miners what the adverse condition is so that they can take necessary precautions to avoid the adverse condition when they enter the area.
Corrective Action
April 9, 2018
Q.1. Could withdrawing miners from the area affected by the adverse condition be considered initiating corrective action?
A. Yes, withdrawal could be considered initiating appropriate action to correct an adverse condition, but miners still must be notified of the condition.
August 2, 2018
Q.2. Some adverse conditions that may be found during the examination are easy to fix; such as a spill or broken ladder; others, such as missing guards on conveyor belts or a washed out travelway, may take longer than one shift to fix. How is the mine operator supposed to notify all affected miners across many shifts of uncorrected adverse conditions?
A. The operator may use a variety of methods to notify miners. For adverse conditions that remain for extended periods, for example, barricades with descriptive signage may be needed. It is the operator's responsibility to ensure miners are aware of known adverse conditions before they are potentially exposed so they can take the necessary precautions to avoid the adverse condition.
Examination Record
April 9, 2018
Q.1. When must the examination record be made?
A. The examination record may be made at any time before the end of the shift for which the examination was conducted.
Q. 2. Must an adverse condition be recorded again each shift until it is corrected?
A. A continuing adverse condition does not need to be recorded each shift. Once the condition is corrected, the record must include, or be supplemented to include, the date of corrective action.
Q.3. If a record is created for another purpose, such as a Job Task Analysis or Job Safety Analysis, can this record be used to meet the examination record requirement?
A. Any record that includes all information required under the Examinations rule is compliant.
Q.4. If no adverse conditions are found during a working place examination, must that be documented?
A. There is no requirement to affirmatively state that no adverse conditions existed.
Q.5. Can the examination records be maintained electronically?
A. Yes, the examination record can be maintained electronically. The records must be made available for inspection at the mine, and include all required information. Electronic records must be secured in a computer system that is not susceptible to alteration.
Q.6. When do examination records need to be made available to miners' representatives?
A. Working place examination records, whether electronic or on paper, are required to be made available to miners' representatives, and a copy provided to them upon request.
July, 31, 2018
Q.7. Can alternative means of documenting the corrective action date, such as closed-out work orders or invoices, be used in place of recording the date directly in the examination record?
A. All information the rule requires related to adverse conditions must be in one record, including the dates of corrective action. If a closed-out work order clearly shows the same adverse condition as described on the examination record and shows the date of correction, it may be stapled, inserted, or linked to the examination record to create one record, as an alternative to simply adding the date directly onto the examination record.
Q.8. If an operator chooses as a best practice to carry forward the reporting of an adverse condition that is not corrected for several days, does the operator need to enter the date of correction on every one of the examination records where the same adverse condition is carried forward?
A. No.. If the mine operator carries forward the adverse condition in the examination record until the condition is corrected, recording the corrective action on the first record is sufficient.
Q.9. We use an electronic system of keeping records. Is this sufficient for keeping the examination records as long as it is secured?
A. Yes.
Q.10. What is a "secure" system?
A. There should be no unauthorized access to the system or to the examination records. Examination records, whether paper or electronic, should be complete and tamper-proof and any authorized change or addition to a complete record should be indicated so it is clear what the change was. The major security concerns with examination records, whether paper or electronic, are the accuracy, integrity, and accessibility of the required records.
August 2, 2018
Q.11. At our mine, competent persons doing working place examinations have always just initialed on the examination record. Is that going to be accepted under the revised rule?
A. No. The name of the competent person that performed the working place examination must be entered on the examination record.
Q.12. Does the person that goes back to supplement examination records by adding the date of each corrective action need to be a competent person or have past training on workplace exams?
A. No, as long as the person recording each date has knowledge that the corrective action was completed on that date. For example, the crew completing the corrective action to eliminate the adverse condition may call out to a clerical person who then enters the date.
September 28, 2018
Q.1. Are contractors responsible for conducting workplace examinations in working places that they work in?
A. Contractors are "operators" subject to the examinations rule. However, production operators and contractors may arrange any number of ways to ensure that required workplace exams are completed. The revised working place examination standards do not change the relationship between operators and contractors.
Q.2. If a mine operator requires the contractor to do his own examinations of working places, where are contractor's examination records kept?
A. The records must be available to an MSHA inspector at the mine or to a representative of miners at the mine. The contractor could accomplish this by providing the production operator a copy of the records.
Q.3. When contract miners leave a working place that was examined by the mine operator at the beginning of the shift, is the operator required to conduct a new examination when its miners come back into that working place in the same shift?
A. The rule requires an examination for each shift. The relationship between an operator and the contractor is not changed by this revision to the examination of working places standards. The standards do not limit the mine operator to one examination per shift.

Stewart Friesen and Max McLaughlin have already sewn up their guaranteed starts with Friesen winning Weedsport Speedway's Heroes Remembered 100 and Brett Hearn's Big Show X at Albany-Saratoga Speedway. McLaughlin finished second in The Big Show X to Friesen, which meant the guaranteed starting position fell to him. With Stewart Friesen's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series commitments conflicting with the Hall of Fame 100 date, the field is wide open for a shot at a Super DIRT Week XLVII starting spot.Read more: Hall of Fame 100 is Fourth Super DIRT Week XLVII Qualifier of 2018
CONCORD, NC – July 11, 2018 – The stars and cars of the Super DIRTcar Series pack up and head north to the Canadian province of Quebec for back to back Series races. The first goes green on Monday, July 23 at Autodrome Granby. The next day, Tuesday, July 24 is the Racing Stock 100 at Autodrome Drummond. These races are expected to draw racers from the exceptional pool of talent in the Quebec region. Last year local hot shoe Steve Bernard took two podiums at each race. Series drivers will need everything they have to pick up Championship points at both great Canadian race tracks.Read more: Super DIRTcar Series Doubles Up in Quebec
CONCORD, NC – July 6, 2018 – On Tuesday, July 10 the Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds will invade Dundee, NY for the Ultimate Outlaw 100 at Outlaw Speedway. Only two Series races have been contested on the 4/10-mile Finger Lakes Region oval, but that does not mean the stars of the Super DIRTcar Series are any less determined to become the next Ultimate Outlaw. With the Series Championship race heating up, Series drivers are anxious to test their mettle once again and go the 100-lap distance for maximum points.
Last year's visit marked the first Super DIRTcar Series race at Outlaw Speedway in seventeen years. Billy Decker won the event in the no. 91 MPR and became the first Ultimate Outlaw. Decker held off numerous challenges from Larry Wight and Matt Sheppard to maintain the top spot. The MPR team has struggled in the early part of the season, but last year's victory at the .4-mile dirt track could give Decker the confidence he needs to turn the 2018 season around.
CONCORD, NC – July 5, 2018 – On Sunday, July 8 the Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds invade Utica-Rome Speedway for the Freedom Fighter 100. All important Series Championship points are on the line. Matt Sheppard, Max McLaughlin, Jimmy Phelps and others are tied up in knots at the top of the standings. The HBR stable is poised to take a win, but Sheppard, Erick Rudolph, and Tim Fuller mean to break up their party. Utica-Rome Speedway has been bitten with the rainout bug so far in 2018, and area race fans are eager for the premier Big-Block Modified series in the Northeast to roll into town.
Utica-Rome Speedway's half-mile circuit rewards only the very best Big-Block Modified drivers and crews. It's fast, dicey, and only the best and bravest drivers have claimed victories. A total of ten Super DIRTcar Series events have taken place at the Vernon, NY race track. Two of the greatest drivers of all time have a pair of wins each: Billy Decker and Brett Hearn, both of whom have failed to secure wins on the Series trail in 2018.
In 2015 five-time Super DIRT Week Champion and NASCAR Camping World Truck driver Stewart Friesen broke the track record with an 18.816 second lap. Friesen has the most all-time wins at Utica-Rome Speedway with 54 wins under his belt. Also, Series star and points leader Matt Sheppard holds third on the all-time Utica-Rome wins list making him, as always, a serious contender. In 1982 the Super DIRTcar Series made their first appearance at Utica-Rome Speedway. The legendary Jumpin' Jack Johnson in the no. 12a won that inaugural race.
Last year, in a race halted by two red flags, Friesen shot by Pat Ward around the outside for the checkered flag. Thankfully no injuries occurred in the incidents, however the second incident will go down in history as a defining event in the rivalry between Sheppard and Larry Wight. Sheppard and Wight made contact resulting in Wight's machine catching air and pirouetting on the backstretch. The drivers were not on same page as to what lead up to the wreck and they showed it.
General admission tickets are $30 with $3 off for seniors and veterans. Kids under 16 years of age get in for just $5. In addition to the $6,000 to win Freedom Fighter 100, the Empire Super Sprints will join the card. Gates open at 4:30 PM with Qualifying Races commencing at 7:00 PM.
The Super DIRTcar Series is the premier Big-Block Modified tour of North America. Tour regulars, such as eight-time Series Champion Brett Hearn and current title-holder Matt Sheppard, pit their 800-horsepower Big-Block Modifieds against the best short track racing drivers over a 27-race schedule on 21 tracks from Canada to Florida. In 2018 there are 17 drivers contending for the Series Championship. Follow along for news and notes on Facebook and Twitter.
CONCORD, NC – June 30, 2018 – The Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds returns to the Land of Legends Raceway in Canandaigua, NY. Thursday, July 5 marks the forty-fifth Series visit to the historic half-mile fairgrounds track. Every week at Land of Legends Raceway, DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds contest the sweeping turns for checkered flags. Many Series stars are among the weekly competitors such as Super Matt Sheppard, Erick Rudolph from Ransomville, NY, and HBR's veteran pilot Jimmy Phelps. Will home track advantage play a part in the 100-lap battle?Read more: Land of Legends Raceway Hosts Super DIRTcar Series
CONCORD, NC – June 19, 2018 – The Super DIRTcar Series' first foray into Canada of 2018 will take place on July 1, 2018 at Cornwall Motor Speedway. Since 1994, the Series has visited Cornwall 23 times. Brett The Jet Hearn sits on top of the all-time Series wins list at the quarter-mile Ontario oval with five checkered flags to his credit. The points race is on with Matt Sheppard and Jimmy Phelps battling to stand at the top. As of the June 16 race at Brewerton Speedway, Sheppard has one win and a fifth-place finish, while Phelps has been Mr. Consistent with two third-place finishes.Read more: Super DIRTcar Series to Tackle Cornwall Motor Speedway
"Super" Matt Sheppard may have finished off the podium in the Super DIRTcar Series' season opener last month, but the defending tour champion did not have to wait long to find his way back to victory lane.
On Friday evening, Sheppard tamed the D-Shaped Demon at Brewerton Speedway in New York by dominating a whopping field of 36 modified drivers who signed up for the series' second points race of 2018.

CONCORD, NC – June 18, 2018 - On Tuesday, June 26 the Albany-Saratoga Speedway hosts The Big Show X with a $10,000 check for the winner and guaranteed starting position in the 47th running of NAPA Super DIRT Week. After ten years of incredible racing, this year's Big Show has all the elements to make for a memorable Super DIRTcar Series race. The Championship chase is young and so is HBR no. 6H driver Max McLaughlin, the 18-year-old who appears to be on his way to having a banner season. NASCAR Camping World Truck Series breakout driver Stewart Friesen will join the Super DIRTcar Series at Albany-Saratoga Speedway in the Halmar Racing no. 44 as well. Friesen is looking to snatch the $10,000-to-win prize money and assert his dominance in the first two of seven NAPA Super DIRT Week Qualifiers.Read more: Albany-Saratoga Ready for Big Show X
CONCORD, NC – June 4, 2018 – To some, the 1/3-mile Central New York race track is known as Brewerton Speedway. To others amongst the Big-Block Modified faithful, it's known as the D-Shaped Demon. On Friday, June 15 the Super DIRTcar Series will attempt to tame the beast and take home valuable Championship points in the Showdown at Sundown 100. With the first points-paying contest in their rear-view mirror, 2018 contenders have begun to emerge. Defending Series Champion Matt Sheppard has visited Victory Lane in three out of the last five races at Brewerton Speedway and will look to improve on his fifth-place performance at Weedsport Speedway.Read more: Brewerton Speedway Takes Center Stage for Super DIRTcar Series Showdown at Sundown 100
Orange County Fair Speedway Returns to Super DIRTcar Series Schedule with the first Battle on the Midway
CONCORD, NC – June 1, 2018 – The Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds will return to the hallowed 99-year-old Orange County Fair Speedway on Thursday, July 19 for the Battle on the Midway. The victor takes home $10,000 and a guaranteed starting position at the 47th annual NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week. The Series has not raced on the Middletown, NY, 5/8-mile speedway since 2014. For many years prior to that, race fans and drivers alike cured their post-NAPA Super DIRT Week blues with a trip the Eastern States 200 in mid-October. The first Super DIRTcar Series OCFS race was held in 1972 when Buzzie Reutimann took the checkered flag.Read more: Orange County Fair Speedway to Hold NAPA Super DIRT Week Qualifier

text: As a kid we lived in Wisconsin for about 6 years. Anyone who has lived in Wisconsin knows not only about the frigid winter but also the loyal cheese heads. That right cheesehead, 50 % of the population is probably always wearing yellow and green on any given day. We lived in a very small town, and didn't have cable. The wind kept blowing the antenna off the side of our house, so we sat it in the attic. In the attic the antenna got four channels bit only if you turned the box it sat on just right. Unfortunately, you either got the sports channel with the Packers on Sunday, and nothing else, or you got the other three channels, and no Packers. So…. every Sunday after church, everyone had a job to do before we could watch Green Bay beat up on the other team. My mom and brother made munchies, I was in charge of the antenna, and I was quality control to ensure we had a good picture, so we could enjoy the game. My dad would shout to me "Make sure to only walk on the planks so you don't fall through the ceiling". I would crawl my way over to the antenna while my brother would watch the tv in the living room and shout to my dad if the picture on the tv picture was good. I hope you all enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday and make many good memories!

Apple continues to work on fixing a bug introduced in iOS 6.1 that caused Exchange 2010 servers to grind to a halt.
"Apple has identified a fix and will make it available in an upcoming software update," said a statement on Apple's support website.
Apple Updates iOS
App on iPhone Insecure
Apple iOS 6, Safari Security Fixes
Apple Updates Java for Older Macs
Soon after Apple issued its iOS 6.1 update for the iPhone and iPad in late January, Exchange Server administrators and Office 365 Exchange Online users noticed some bizarre behavior. Users attempting to fetch emails or update their calendars on their newly-updated iPhones and iPads caused log files to swell and CPU and RAM usage on servers running Exchange to spike, severely degrading performance.
For now, Apple prescribes a reset, of sorts. The company is advising users to dig into their Mail, Contacts and Calendars settings, switch Calendars to "off," wait 10 seconds, and then turn it back on.
In an online support document, Microsoft suggested the fault lies squarely in Apple's court. "Currently, we recommend that you open an Enterprise Support case with Apple, either through an Enterprise agreement or through a 'Cross-Platform Integration and Command-Line Interface' pay-per-incident case to report and diagnose the behavior in iOS 6.1.," Microsoft said.
Microsoft has, however, created workarounds.
Microsoft recommends having users remove the Exchange account from the affected device and having administrators run the Remove-ActiveSyncDevice cmdlet to square things away on the server-side. After 30 minutes, the user can re-add the Exchange account, but should get a warning against processing Calendar items.
Another option is to throttle iOS 6.1 users, or if all else fails, use the nuclear option. "You can block iOS 6.1 users by using the Exchange Server 2010 Allow/Block/Quarantine feature," said Microsoft. Until matters are resolved, experts are advising enterprise users to skip this iOS update.
"Apple takes user security very seriously," An Apple spokesperson said. "We are aware of this issue, and will deliver a fix in a future software update."

Located in the remote arid lowlands of northwest Sri Lanka, Wilpattu is the country's largest and most remote national park: a huge tract of wilderness spanning over 130,000 hectares. Situated within the country's dry zone, the park's terrain predominantly comprises grassy plains, arid scrub and dense forest, interspersed with a series of over 50 distinctive 'villus'. These are natural lakes which fill with rainwater during the monsoon season which runs from September to December, serving as vital reservoirs for the wildlife during the region's dry period from May to September.
Partly thanks to its far flung setting, visitor numbers are far lower than in other national parks, even during high season. The park is home to over 30 mammal species including the Asian elephant, wild buffalo, sloth bear, crocodile, cobra, and muntjac deer. It also hosts a decent leopard population, although not on the same scale as in Yala NP, and this also is reflected in visitor numbers. A proliferation of resident and migrating birds can be found, including the Asian paradise catcher, white egret, red wattled lapwing and spot bellied eagle owl. The scale and remoteness of this region means that the shy inhabitants of the park can be elusive; accordingly visitors should be aware that wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, unlike in some of the more densely populated parks. Nature lovers will, however, appreciate the sense of immersion within a truly unspoilt wilderness.
Yala National Park in the SW of Sri Lanka is the countries premier location to go on safari and spot leopard, however it is often over run with safari vehicles, and Wilpattu offers a far greater sense of wilderness and if you do find leopard, a fire more rewarding wildlife experience free of the over tourism in Yala.

Hi Lisa,
The safari trip was excellent! The stay, the food and the people were all very nice. We were happy to have Ryan and Stanley as our game drive guides they brought us up close to the animals and Ryan gave very good information throughout.
Would definitely recommend to friends who are interested in safaris :)
Also, thanks much for your help, particularly keeping the room for my Brother and his wife they've enjoyed the safari very much too!
Best regards,
Woan Chyi
Woan Chyi L reviewing Cape Town & Kruger Safari on 16 October 2019
Driver-guide: Very punctual, except for pick up for airport when he was delayed by >30 mins due to road closures. Vehicle very clean and well maintained- plenty of water and supplies of clothing for religious sites, tissues, postcards etc. Very good at understanding what level of conversation we wanted. Happy to stop for paracetamol, supermarket etc. Took us to signal box at railway since we were early (which was very interesting)
The Walawwa: Lovely place to arrive at and get a bit of rest. Great pool, lovely rooms and food etc. Peaceful oasis so close to town.
Wilpattu Camp: Wonderful food- really enjoyed trying lots of new things in excellent surroundings.Felt like the place had not been visited much recently (which I don't think it had due to the terrorist attacks) so our safari guide had been brought up from another park and did not know the park too well- it worked out well though and we saw all the animals we hoped to see so no complaints on that front. We did feel that we should have been told about extra things we could have done- when we commented on the great food on final day we were told that they could have done a cookery demo for us, but it was too late at that point. It worked well for us but clients should probably know that they are likely to have multiple wildlife in their tents (eg frogs)- didn't bother us at all, but others it might do. We were given a questionnaire to fill in at the end whilst all the staff were standing around, which wasn't ideal as you felt a bit of pressure! Felt really well looked after here!
Water Gardens Sigiriya: Beautiful suites with plunge pools- quiet and peaceful with lovely big swimming pool. Food good
Jungle Beach: Beautiful location on beach. Rooms good. Food a bit limited I would have liked a bit more variety ideally.
Camellia House: Lovely location- beautiful views. Food OK but service below average- our food orders were wrong a couple of times and even pre-ordered food was delayed. Tea factory tour was only an hour and that was the main reason to be here. It was interesting but quite brief seeing it was the main attraction according to our itinerary. Also, we were taken there in a minibus which didn't have seatbelts on all seats and was quite smelly- not up to the standard of the usual transportation. Rooms were described as having panoramic views- one did have amazing views but the other one definitely didn't.
Galle Face: Lovely old hotel- but it did have some problems (leaking ceiling and 'smuts' coming out of air conditioning.) Weather very bad (spectacular storms). It was a shame the street food tour couldn't take place but totally understandable given the weather, however we enjoyed our dinner here and free drinks/canopes!). Good choice at breakfast.
Pippa R reviewing Sri Lanka Highlights - Classic on 30 September 2019
Once again you organised a really good holiday for us.
If there was one criticism it was that there were too many flights. I don't know whether you could do Bangkok first, Chiang Mai, then fly down South?
Your drivers and Guides - all really good. The variety of transport on the tours in Bangkok and Chiang Mai; we all loved.
Tamarind Village - Our room was a bit of a squeeze, with the 3 of us and 3 big suitcases.
Lisu Lodge- I enjoyed our time here. Going forward I would suggest only 1 night or they need to have some more activities. I liked how we ate on the floor, the food was really good. Staff very friendly. We liked the cycling, tea plantation, trekking and white water rafting.
Riva Surya- good location.
Elephant Hills- we loved looking after the elephants, the lake was also a really good experience. The guides were informative and looked after us well. The resort locations and tents were perfect.
Santiburi - amazing; we upgraded to a beach bungalow which was fantastic. The hotel is in a stunning location, the facilities and the service was impeccable. Sam has some private Thai boxing lessons, which he loved. We had cookery lessons and used the paddle boards. A perfect end to quite a busy holiday.

Hello. Welcome to my profile.
I would like to say that due to my new job, I'll be on and off Gaia. I'll be on here randomly for a short amount of time. This doesn't not mean that I am deactivating my account nor am I going to sell my things. I'll just be on a very random hiatus.
Name: Vincent (Vinny)
Age: 22
Sex: Biologically I am Female.
If you want to actually see a photo of me, I request that you get to know me better and when I think it's the right time, I will personally send you a photo of what I look like. Reason why I don't want to publicly show my face is because I really lost my trust with a lot of people on the internet. I was catfished before, so please understand my little trust issue. So, like I said, when you get to know me and I have trust in you, then you will see what I look like.

Samba is a whale. He's an Orca, and just for fun, he sometimes likes to go by the name, "ThrillerWhale!"
He just loves to lay on his back on the surface of the Sea, his eyes closed, soaking up the sun, kicking his fins, rolling over to blow and breathe, then rolling onto his back again, just reee-laxing.
Samba says this is the best way to reminisce…and whales have incredible memories so there's lots to reminisce about! In fact, you probably already know this, Whales are the Record Keepers of all life in our Galaxy throughout eternity!
Mmmmm. Floating. Dreaming. Feels so luxurious. Samba re-membered his life before water, before swimming. It was his big journey, a once in a lifetime adventure.
A huge cluster of stars and planets appeared in his dream. They were filled with amazing beings who loved the Earth, humans and all who live here. Samba has always been great friends with the faeries and other Earthly elementals, even when he was a Starling high in the sky, and especially now that he's a Whale swimming the wide open Seas.
Somehow, the sea was a lot like the sky.
He remembered his first really grand wish. During his baby Star years, Samba was gazing around the Galaxy and wished upon the bigger Stars for a visit to Earth one day. Suddenly, before he could blink even once in surprise, Samba's little Star body started to jiggle and quake.
All the tethers between his aura and his Star Friends began to let go all around him. Even the strands that linked him to the planets were getting loose. And smack in the middle of all the links, his connection to the Sirius Sun broke free and he began faaaaalling from the sky!
By now you've probably guessed, that was the night Samba's journey to Earth began.
And more to come as Samba the Great Orca from Heaven continues to dream.

With my Dad getting back into the photography business (kevingeorgephotography.com), and Ryan sending me flickr links every hour, photography seems to be surrounding my life. I love looking at pretty pictures, but I get frustrated when I can't produce images that I am actually proud of, but I guess you have to start somewhere! I am totally in love with the soft, creamy, dreamy pictures these days, maybe its a little mental state leftover from the wedding.
Since, my knee is still hurt (from snowboarding), I was not able to join Ryan on a beach run last night, so I decide to walk the strand and gaze at the flowers that I hope to have in my yard one day! Well, actually I hope to have a yard of pretty pink peonies, a gazillion tulips, and beautiful hydrangeas, I will have to settle with these pictures for now!

A complete guide for students looking for dissertations for sale
Students very frequently need to buy dissertations to submit when they don't have time to actually write one. Dissertations are like research paper, they require the same amount of time to complete. A dissertation writing process is extremely lengthy. First you are required to do the extensive research for the topic that you've been assigned. Secondly you will have to compile everything along with extensive references. Then you are required to collate all the material and write it in the form of a proper academic dissertation.
The writing process is itself extremely lengthy. I'm between balancing studies, writing these dissertations are not an easy task. Therefore students have to avail the services of websites that sell dissertations. You can order dissertation from these websites who have dissertations for sale. For a sum of money they will sell you any kind of dissertations, it can be custom dissertations or rarely made dissertations. Many students have the question like, who can do my thesis for me or is it safe to buy research papers from these companies. The following article is going to answer all the doubts that you had regarding these writing services
They are here to help you
All those who doubt whether these services actually help you and if they deliver quality essays and thesis know that, they are here to help. They also need to establish a reputation; if they start selling sub standard stuff then no one will want to come back to them. Yes, there are many sites that sell sub standard stuff and some simply take the students money and dupe them. You as a consumer must be a good judge of which site to choose and which to not. Before subscribing to any site always check user comments to determine if the site is genuine and if its services are good or bad. Alternately you can avail services of sites that people you know have availed, so that it's a verified site.
Some tricks
There are various tricks that one must practice while buying papers online. The foremost is to hide their personal details like email and university name. Your professors can actually trace your purchase back to you and accuse you of cheating for your dissertation. Always hide your online foot prints. Another good practice is to always check for errors. No matter how good a site is, always check for spelling, grammar and plagiarized text.
