One day, offices will become thing of the past. Love for work, passion-driven and living on their own terms and schedules, the professional freelancers are becoming the workforce of choice for many rising companies. But becoming a pro freelancer takes time and commitment to work on few things.
Here are some of the tips to becoming an allrounder in freelancing business and make yourself worth valuable to the companies and clients.
Have a designated workspace.
Maybe it can be your home or be working from some hub, make sure you allocate the workspace so that you can focus more and it helps to be more productive.
Find your network
Freelancing doesn't have to be a solo game, you can find people who have the similar skillset or working in similar field. Join a meetup or participate in some freelance community events to network. This can help to trade your skillset or you can find new projects from other freelancers who are too busy handling other projects.
Freelancing can be hard when you're working on the project for long hours. So, unplug from the strenuous work and make sure to allow yourself a personal break to enjoy a cup of coffee or go for a walk. You can also focus on your hobbies or learn some new skills.
Update portfolio
Make sure to devote some time ( an hour per week) to focus on your freelance profiles and individual portfolio. Update as per on basis with every project and make sure your salary requirement is in accordance with the market demand and your client base.
Set your schedule
Freelancing is not 9-5.
So, set your own schedule and make sure you complete the projects in time and submit to the clients before the due date. Also, look at the rate of your productivity while setting the dates and time. You don't want to work hard on a Saturday night unless the project is required.

Most of the time, I try to stay really positive...and most of the time I do feel pretty positive. But the whole point of me writing this blog is so that I can look back and see how far I have come. I feel like I need to be able to look back and see some of the bad things in order to appreciate the good.
Right now I need to be sad, even mad, about some things. It makes me sad that I have to think about what to say when people ask if I have children. It makes me sad that I can be standing in the middle of Urban Outfitters and suddenly feel like I have been kicked in the gut because I see a pregnant woman. It makes me sad that I have to worry about how to tell my future children about their brother. It makes me sad when I think about having another baby, something I know I would not be thinking about, at least not yet, if Rip was here. It makes me sad to see the people I love hurting.
This song, I think it may be from Sesame Street, has been popping in my head every so often, "one of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong". That is how I feel when I am out in the world sometimes, I am not sure exactly where I belong...I'm not like the other mothers out there, but I am a mother. Being a mother to a baby in heaven is really hard work.
I think in time (good old time again) I will find my place, but right now all of this is still very new and raw. It sounds strange, but I think taking time to feel the sadness will make me more ready to accept the good when it comes.

For the very first book of the month entry of 2011, I bring you a photo album....
Lawrence Welk's Musical Family Album that is.
First published in 1977, the collaboration of Welk-McGeehan strikes again with what the title suggests, a family photo album that features the Maestro and his Music Makers.
It's a collection of pictures from the show, and behind the scenes fun and then some!
Here's some examples....
Sandi, Gail and Mary Lou riding on an elephant.....
The Musical Family feasting on turkey after taping a Thanksgiving themed show....
Like any family album, it includes wedding photos from the Musical Family weddings such as this one from Tanya and Larry Welk's wedding day....
...and there's pictures of the families of the Musical Family, like Bob Ralston and his loved ones.
I highly recommend this book, it has everything a Welk fan would ask for.

Most people consider such sites as a life conserving place because they help all of them preserve a great amount prove expenses. Tend to be that they actually carrying out so? Not every deal available on these sites is beneficial or perhaps helpful to you. All of it is dependent upon your preferences. In this kind of article, Let me guide you though the method of making most out of them daily package sites.
1 ) Check out Local Deals:
A number of the deals provideon such sites seem irresistible nonetheless check away what it takes having many of these discounts. In case the business can be even away through your residence, the pleasure of saving with your expenses can be ruined very fast. Better look at different companies you and try to look for a local vendor who can present you with such greatest daily bargains. In many of these case, the deal is better even if this helps you saving several fewer portions. In addition, many persons miss the opportunity to find the profit of many of these deals because of not applying in time and before the conclusion of the deal. For that reason, it is a lot better want a nearby retailer to get a deal in your case.
2. Go You Actually Need:
Designed for instance, lest assume you had a hair cut just a few times ago and suddenly you will find a deal proclaiming 50% away in new hair-do. What you definitely will perform in such case? Going for this sort of a deal will not conserve 50% on your own expenses, but actually will cost further 50% just like you have simply no requirement of having a hair cut instantly. By no means purchase whatever which you don't will need only for the sake of conserving some bucks with your shopping.
several. Buy using your Friends:
There are several kinds of discounts which are more successful the moment acquired in a group. The model may end up being a discount restaurant deal, a trip to a hill train station or perhaps health club membership rights.

The example may well be a restaurant package which is without question generally supplied during breaks or any extraordinary events. 2 weeks . must making use of them prior to offer runs out. Regularly check your email intended for better bargains and install those which actually are a necessity suitable for you.
5. Learn to Say No:
If a web page is giving many of these bargains, another thing is pertaining to sure they will are producing tremendous funds by providing these types of presents. And coming from just where they generate? Off training from the quantity you pay out to get the items or offerings. For the reason that mentioned above, usually the best daily deals are not the finest because they are not really helpful for you. Learn to claim no in the event that you typically need the product or perhaps service. The majority of the buyers run to purchase anything at all once they will have made a lucrative package. In fact , the best daily deals work best only any time chosen effectively; usually that they may get into yourlifestyle as an addiction and may deteriorate economical circumstances.

Eleven Sports and Sky Sports: different broadcast strategies for the digital age
With the second SportsPro OTT Summit confirmed for Madrid on 28th and 29th November, SportsPro editor-at-large Eoin Connolly dips into the archives to find conversations with representatives of two broadcasters at very different stages of their commercial journeys.
First up is Marc Watson, group chief executive of Eleven Sports, active around the world and newly launched in the UK. It has taken a nimble, flexible approach to each market, and Watson discusses how to decide what method of digital delivery works for each market.
Then Sky Sports director of strategy Jonathan Licht talks about the effects of the UK pay-TV giant's switch to vertical, single-sport channels, its evolving relationships with rights holders, and its take on creating bundled value for viewers on its multi-genre platform in an age of stripping down to single sources.

The Doorman-Priest has tagged me. In this particular game of tag, I am to list 7 things about myself which are not in my profile. I don't really have a profile on here, but I'm taking this to mean things that are not revealed on this blog ….
So here goes:
1) I started my undergraduate studies at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in King's Point, NY. Amongst other things such as marching and sword drills, I got to learn about fun things like navigating, ship handling, and knots ;-). My travels took me to Northern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, the Caribbean and the Far East.
2) I know how to play the piano and the guitar moderately well .. at least enough to get by.
3) I was a BIG Doctor Who fan when I was a kid … dressed up as Tom Baker once for Hallowe'en but kept tripping over the scarf.
4) My sister (her comments on this blog are from Sista Girl) is a lesbian. Mom and Dad got it with both barrels 🙂
5) My family is very old … Mom's folks date back to colonial days. Dad's people are more of johnny-come-latelys (post Civil War)
6) SIR is the only Gentile i have dated for any considerable length of time. The three boyfriends I have had were Jewish and one of them was orthodox. I guess that made me the goy-boy-toy … or something.
7) I used to sing the bass part in a Southern Gospel quartet (cue I Wouldn't Take Nothin' for My Journey Now). My singing these days are limited to the shower and the occasional stint at a karaoke bar … I actually can do a mean Son of a Preacher Man … just ask my Personal Atheist 😉

A doctor who is serving a prison sentence some would call lengthy given his crime recently had his attempt to reduce his sentence denied. Alan Mendelsohn has been in prison for four years because he was convicted of tax fraud. Although no one is saying that what he did is okay, some have questioned whether the judge in Mendelsohn's case overstepped his bounds.
Florida insurer pays $140M to settle Medicare, Medicaid fraud claims
A Florida-based insurer recently agreed to pay nearly $140 million to the federal government and to nine states to resolve claims that it overbilled Medicare and Medicaid.
2 mortgage industry executives plead guilty to fraud
A 38-year-old woman who ran a pair of mortgage title and loan processing companies in Boca Raton pleaded guilty to five counts related to what prosecutors said was a scheme to sell properties in Florida to straw buyers and collect more than the cost of the homes from the lender than was needed. The defendant could be sentenced to up to 140 years in prison, though given her guilty plea, it is possible that she has reached a plea bargain with the federal prosecutors pursuing the case.
Medicare fraud trial against American Therapeutic underway
Seven defendants, mostly medical professionals, are standing trial for what federal prosecutors claim was a scheme to put patients in group therapy who could not benefit from the treatment in order to bill Medicare. The trial, which began on April 11, is another prong in the Justice Department's aggressive prosecution of employees of American Therapeutic Corp., a Miami-based chain of mental health clinics.
Hospital Settles Medicaid and Medicare Fraud Case
The Justice Department and the Department of Health and Human Services concluded that the Good Samaritan Hospital used leading questions in determining that some patients were suffering from malnutrition. Federal investigators accused the hospital of committing Medicaid and Medicare fraud based on the enhanced reimbursement rate the hospital could claim for patients due to the malnutrition finding. The hospital agreed to pay nearly $800,000 in penalties to settle the matter while stating, "We have provided the highest level of quality care to our patients in accordance with all laws and regulations."

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure undertaken to either reshape or reduce the labia minora (the inner lips of the opening of the vagina) and is commonly undertaken by younger women – the average age for treatment is 22 years old. Patients who undergo labiaplasty are generally those who do not feel confident with the appearance of their vulva. It's normal for the labia to change size, particularly after child birth, and as women get older – labiaplasty has a positive effect on the impact of these changes.
What is Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape or reduce the labia minora; the inner lips of the opening to the vagina. The average age for labiaplasty is 22 years of age as many young girls do not feel confident with their vulval appearance.
Changes in labia size and appearance is normal and to be expected after childbirth and as women age. For women not confident with their labia, labiaplasty alters the impact of these changes by reducing or reshaping the labia minora.
Labiaplasty does not tighten the vagina (if you are looking for this, see Vaginal Rejuvenation) or increase sexual stimulation (see MonaLisa Touch). For some women living with an enlarged labia can cause discomfort during sex, another potential benefit of labiaplasty.
The websites linked below contain images showing natural variations of size and appearance in women's vulvas. While most of the women that undergo labiaplasty surgery are considered 'normal', they are wanting to change how they look in order to become confident in their appearance and comfortable in their skin.
Who is a good candidate?
A good labiaplasty candidate is someone who is concerned with:
- The appearance of an enlarged or irregular inner labia
- Discomfort resulting from an enlarged labia
Who is not a good candidate?
Someonethat may not be suited to having labiaplasty will:
- Have an enlarged labia majora (a labia majoraplasty is an appropriate procedure for these women)
- Hold unrealistic expectations about the possible outcome
The Procedure
Dr Jayson Oates performs labiaplasty surgery at the Academy Day Hospital with patients under either twilight sedation or local anaesthetic. In addition to this, a pudendal block will also be given for pain relief over the next 24 hours.
The surgery takes around 1 hour with a total time at the hospital of 3-4 hours.
A "free edge trimming" technique is employed by Dr Oates for labiaplasty as it is the most reliable way to deliver symmetrical and neat results without disturbing the remaining labia minora. By not touching the remaining labia minora, a natural sensation is achieved post-recovery.
Radiofrequency surgery is used, resulting in a quicker recovery and healing period. The edge is gently and securely closed with sutures that will dissolve.
There are other techniques for carrying out labiaplasty surgery. Techniques such as wedge extensions or de-epithelialization involve higher risk of unnatural results. These results can include a crease of the labia minora or be more invasive with lower levels of reduction.
How long will I take off work?
Depending on your industry and the level of physical activity required, 5-10 days is advised. Please consult your surgeon directly for their personal recommendation.
The recovery
Some potential experiences during recovery include bruising, discomfort, discharge and swelling. Vaginal packing isn't used in labiaplasty and some patients find it useful to use sanitary pads initially.
Ice packs can be used carefully on the area intermittently for the first 48 hours out of surgery. One month after surgery you can return to sexual intercourse if comfort permits.
Is there discomfort?
Some mild to moderate discomfort may be experienced and can be managed with prescribed pain-relief initially. After 2 days we recommend over-the-counter pain killers.
Pre and post operative care
Academy's registered nurses manage your pre and post-operative care, including assessment prior to the labiaplasty surgery and wound management.
Risks and complications
Surgery on the vagina (including labiaplasty) is very safe and complications are rare. As with any surgical procedure, there is a small risk of complications including:
- Prolonged bleeding (up to 24 hours)
- Delayed healing
- Infection
- Asymmetry

Over the last few weeks I've been doing some research to work out where I want to go with this blog and some strategies to get there. The research is ongoing, and what I find will help to refine the scope of what I write about here.
Until now my blogging has mostly been about me. Sure, I've sought to encourage others in what I write, but overall I have written on topics that inspire me at the time and largely as way to work through the topic for myself without any systematic plan to publish material that could provide a guide to others or markers in the walk of faith.
Keeping a blog as an online journal is fine if that is all I ever want it to be. But then I have to wonder, why put a journal online when I could simply keep it private and gain more value from journaling when I don't have to worry about what others might think of it? So for a long time I've used my blog as an in-between place, not a fully private journal, yet without any serious structure or purpose.
A weakness of blogging without a purpose is that publishing tends to only occur when inspiration strikes, leading to erratic and irregular posting frequency. This is a bit inconsiderate towards those who read the posts as they can never know when new posts are likely to come their way.
The alternative to writing when inspiration strikes is to set a schedule for publishing. This works best if I can map out a plan of what topics to write about over the next 6 weeks or longer so that I can use writing time for writing rather than spending it trying to come up with a topic and running out of time to actually write. To plan posts in advance requires some sort of strategy; what is my purpose in choosing particular topics? What style should they be written in? What is the goal of each post — to entertain, to educate, to inspire?
Planning to this level of detail needs something like a 'vision statement' to unify all the parts into a whole that gives the blog a purpose and direction. This is what I'm working on, and in the process it seems that God is also working on me.
I'm not trying to position myself as some sort of expert. The blog will always grow out of my faith in Christ, knowing Him more and learning what it means to live as an adopted child of God. My 'vision' is basically for us to learn to know God more and explore what it means to live as His people in ordinary daily life. All I'm really planning is how to approach learning and growing — being intentional about growth.

The rule of thumb in the fashion industry is that "fashion repeats itself every thirty years." This seems to be the time when designers need to go back in time and draw inspiration from a different era, further helping them to transform their designs to the modern age using a style that the masses already know, love and highly approve. This notion has been around for ages, and it's important for designers to look back at the fundamentals of shoe design in decades past in order to move forward and build their legacy.
Overall, fashion is a very personal thing. This is why certain people gravitate towards different designers, because they love their design style, and why so many designers are able to exist among the high levels of competition. Whenever we look at the shoe industry, we can clearly see that different elements, embellishments and styles have changed over the past decades, but the main structure can be very similar, just slightly manipulated.It's important to look back whenever creating a new shoe collection simply because you are able to see where past designers failed and where they flourished, and use that information to better your collection. Knowledge is power in every industry.
10 The 20's
Oxford type shoes were very popular during this time for both men and women. For men, they would simply take away the heel, but similar details would remain. Different variations of this shoe existed during that time, focusing on the details of suede uppers and perforated detailing. Shoes were still laced up during the 1920's instead of being slip ons, so we saw these details even in women's high heels. For men, it was very popular to mix black and white together and patchwork different sections in their oxford shoes.
9 The 30's
Shoe styles for both men and women didn't evolve a great deal from the 20's to the 30's, as the overall inspiration remained the same. The big evolution during this time was that we started to see shoe lacing disappear and dressy shoes transformed into slip ons. Heel height for women still remained in the one to two and a half inch range and on the chunkier side, offering more support to women who were on their feet all day long. Lastly, the patchwork trend for men transitioned over to women as we started to see two-toned shoes become popular, though they only used muted, neutral colors.
8 The 40's
During this time period, shorter skirts were becoming more and more popular, which meant that women were paying more and more attention to both their panty hose and shoes alike, this becoming known as the "flapper style." Heels on shoes were growing to between two and two and a half inches, and while the dressy oxfords were still being worn in different variations, the two types of shoes that were becoming increasingly popular were the cluded pumps that featured a t-shaped strap.
For men, shoes weren't evolving that much during this time period, as the oxford style remained very popular, especially for sports. One new type added to men's shoes was something called an "evening slipper," which were worn for dressy events and made of fabric or leather in gold or silver.
7 The 50's
Post WWII in the mid-1950's was when the shoe trends really started to shift away from what it had been up until this point. Parisian fashion trends were taking dramatic turns during this point and having a big effect on what was happening in the shoe industry all over the world. During this time there were countless new shoe trends emerging such as open-toed, ankle straps, sling-backs, and higher heeled sandals worn for dressy occasions.On the contrary, with more and more people moving to the suburbs during this period in time, more casual shoes came into play for both men and women. Sneakers or canvas tennis shoes were developed during this time, as well as moccasins, flat ballet slipper type shoes for women, and the oxford transitioned into the casual loafer for men.During the mid-50's a miraculous new fashion shoe trend for women was developed that it still highly utilized today; the stiletto.
6 The 60's
The 1960's were all about boots in all different lengths and heel heights! While they were first developed to be worn during the cold months, they quickly became a fashionable year round accessory as part of daytime dressing. People worn them in ankle-length all the way to calf-high length, similarly to the way women wear them today with legging, called stretch pants during that time. These became a basic part of footwear during this time, varying slightly through the 60's but remaining quite popular.
5 The 70's
Skirts started getting shorter again in the 1970's after dropping in length for the 1950's decade, so as the skirts got shorter the heels started getting higher in height. Toes became more rounded and less pointed, and the almond shape was developed. The new big shoe trend during this time was easily the platform heel, which ranged all the way from very small platforms to enormous ones that drew lots of attention! On the more casual side, both men and women began wearing clogs with wooden soles for their comfort and ease of getting on and off.
4 The 80's
With the 80's came neon colors and high top sneakers, because fitness was becoming more and more important during this decade. Overall, the 80's are often known as one of the most recognizable decades in shoes. It was also a time when the very young people right out college fell into positions of power in the job market quite easily due to the flourishing economy and the term "yuppies" was born. The yuppies were known to wear very preppy attire and adorn the "power suit," in which there was a version for both men and women.
3 The 90's
The 90's was a time when designers started turning back the hands of time and drawing inspiration in footwear from the past. The platform sole started becoming popular again for men as well as the stiletto. For men, inspiration was drawn from the classic oxford shoe as they removed the laces to give it a more updated appeal. Boots also made a big return and this time they came back with a vengeance, coming all the way up to the thighs! Hiking boots also became a trend worn daily and were more fashionable than for function. Overall, this is the time when we start to really see fashion repeating itself.
2 2000-2010
During this time, inspiration was being drawn from the times of mod & punk and were truly making a revival in the clothing industry. As for footwear, the major trend at the beginning of this decade was to wear shoes or high heels with ankle sock, versus the higher tube socks of the past or hosiery (for women). A newly emerging trend of this time was a high heel flip flop that was introducing in 2002 and proved to be very popular throughout the entire decade as a whole. For men and women alike, moccasins came back as a casual option.
1 2010-Current
Starting in this decade the wedge heel became increasingly popular for shows year round. Women wore them in the warm months with sandals and in the cold months as boots and shoes. Flats also became popular as well and highly acceptable for women the same way they were for men. Flats of all kinds were being worn from the classic ballet flats with a modern twist as well as with a pointed toe. So far, this is a decade of individuality where consumers are making more conscious decisions about what is working best for them in their lives instead of designers always setting the trends.

Pelvic mesh scandal: Northern Ireland victims to have their say at Westminster
A debate on the safety of pelvic mesh implants today at Westminster is being backed by five women from Northern Ireland.
Jackie Harvey from Banbridge; Paula Cairnduff and Susan McLarnon from Belfast; and Arlene Simmons and Iris Henderson from Larne, are supporting the national campaign, Sling the Mesh.
Together they will unite with women and medical professionals from across the UK at 9.30am to lobby politicians after the debate, calling for a public inquiry into their usage.
The women, who also represent Meshed Up NI, which has more than 300 members, have all been treated with pelvic mesh for common conditions caused by childbirth such a prolapses and urinary incontinence.
Made of polypropylene plastic, the same mesh is also used to repair hernias.
They said the aim was to have the 20-minute procedure outlawed, as it has been in Scotland since 2004, as it causes "life-changing injuries".
Ms Harvey suffered 12 years of pain after having a mesh implant inserted in March 2005 when she was 36, having suffered urinary incontinence after having her second child.
She said she was not made aware of the risks associated before she had the surgery and that eight years later she started to experience extreme pain in her legs, hips and feet, which made walking painful and any form of exercise impossible.
Doctors referred her to an orthopaedic consultant to run tests on her bones, as well as a rheumatologist who confirmed that she did not have arthritis.
Then, after reading an article about the Sling the Mesh campaign, Ms Harvey (49) said she had a "lightbulb" moment and realised it was the implant that was the problem.
She was referred to a gynaecologist who said they could find nothing wrong, but Ms Harvey was unconvinced and so sought a private second opinion in England.
She underwent a scan in London which found her mesh was wrongly positioned, then paid £8,000 to have it removed in March earlier this year at a hospital in Oxford.
Ms Harvey said although she was still in pain, it brought her "immediate relief".
"I was tired of feeling ill and exhausted," she said.
"I had no quality of life due to the pain. I couldn't sit in a restaurant or stand for very long, so I just stayed in.
"The problem was there are no surgeons here that are qualified to remove the implants, which embed after six weeks then corrode into organs like the bowel, bladder and vaginal walls, so trying to remove them is like picking chewing gum out your hair.
"They cut through the organs like cheesewire, causing horrendous pain, and I was sick of being looked at as some middle-age hypochondriac whenever I asked for help.
"It has taken us women to come out and talk about personal issues like our vaginas to highlight this - it's really awful but it had to be done.
"Really, I dodged a bullet as my mesh would have embedded in my bladder like so many others.
"It's really awful hearing how these meshes have taken away people's lives, their marriages and jobs and even their internal organs. I still have a lot of anger about what happened to me, but other women have suffered worse."
Concerns regarding the implants can be reported through the yellow card scheme at the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency or the Adverse Incident Centre at Stormont.

Vodka and cranberry juice. Happy hour $3
The Corner Spot, San Francisco CA
This sports bar is kinda cool. It's laid back and you can easily tell who the regulars are. I went here after work to kill some time before dinner and I had a pretty good time. My bartender was friendly and attentive so I can't complain. The drinks were on the weak side, but then again I'm used to the Castro.

The Workings of the Typical Internet Casino Explored
Their state firm ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control)is responsible to locate and prevent illegal gaming, regrettably their very own handbook does not claim illegal gaming, or conditions to the gambling regulations, it only says gaming, and there has been an situation where among their investigators tried to avoid a casino fundraiser claiming it absolutely was gambling. The situation was resolved before the event day because of the second level I want one to remember. Even though your casino fundraiser is gaming and gambling is illegal, you come under an exception to the gaming regulations by state statute. In New Jacket their state legislature produced a statute to allow casino gambling and made the Casino Get a grip on Commission to oversee the experience, they also developed a statute to permit casino fundraisers and produced the legalized Activities of Opportunity Control Commission to oversee casino fundraisers.
The purpose I want you get from all of this is always to make your casino fundraiser legitimate, you need to understand regulations and get the correct licenses and township permission for the event. Just because you are a 501(c)3 non profit organization and applied to presenting a car clean to boost resources does not mean you can have a casino fundraiser mainly because it looks like a excellent idea. So at this point you must realize it is recommended to contact your states Office of the Lawyer Common to learn the regulations in your state to truly have a casino fundraiser. The Best casino company. The licensing needs necessary for you state might also require the casino business to be licensed. There has been instances in New Jersey where a low revenue firm called a agen sbobet resmi casino party organization and neither of the parties knew the laws ensuing in the case being ended and fines.
Each state is different and in New Hat the casino organization and all the retailers should have a casino fundraiser license. And so the crucial position here's to first understand the necessity by yourself by contacting their state authorities, you then begin calling the casino companies and question them what is needed to have a casino fundraiser.
It's said that – going by recent data – we have more individuals playing casino games within the Internet than in stone and mortar casinos. This is amazing, since significantly less than ten years ago, the Internet casino notion was still at its infancy – a concept whose feasibility was still a topic of debate. Several people can anticipate per day when Internet-based casinos would threaten the very existence of traditional stone and mortar casinos. But that's just what's happened; in a scenario wherever several old-fashioned stone and mortar shops are forced to downsize, or else adjust to the new critical challenge, actually risk, which will be the Web casino.
Beginning to perform in an average Web casino is very easy, in fact easier, than addressing play in a conventional stone and mortar casino. The first faltering step in that way is usually to recognize one casino where one can play. Many people perform Web searches, on phrases such as for example'prime Net casino,' 'most useful Web casino'or simply just'Internet casino'in their visit a nice casino where to register and begin playing. A lot of people, it appears to be, identify the most effective Internet casino establishments where to perform through Net research benefits, or through referrals by friends.Read More

At Aspendale SC, we require that all our club Players, Coaches, Team Managers and Volunteers be registered with FFA to ensure they are covered by the FFA National Insurance Programme.
FFA, State and Territory Member Federations and Gow-Gates remain committed to providing the football community with a first class Sports Insurance Programme whilst maintaining the affordability of registration.
Whilst the plan provides basic levels of cover for players and others participating in Football, it is not all encompassing (this is necessary to keep the cost of insurance affordable for players) and does not seek to replace the need for private health and other insurances.
FFA encourages all players and officials to take out their own private health insurance, life insurance and 'Top Up' coverage over and above the coverage provided under this plan. Gow-Gates can assist in regard to 'Top Up' insurance and other insurance requirements.
For more information, please visit the Gow-Gates website here.

The Proposed Apologies Act for Scotland: Good Intentions with Unforeseeable Consequences
Edinburgh Law Review 17.1 (2013): 84-90
7 Pages Posted: 20 May 2013
Date Written: January 5, 2013
This article considers Scotland's proposed Apologies Act in the light of experience in other Common Law jurisdictions. A number of Common Law jurisdictions have passed Apologies Acts in the past 25 years, largely motivated by concerns about a 'litigation explosion'. The idea seems to be that providing evidentiary protection to apologies will encourage their use, or at least prevent insurers and lawyers from advising against them. Charlie Irvine considers the plausibility of this hypothesis and suggests that the drafters of the Bill face an unresolvable dilemma: blanket protection for apologies may prevent credible evidence from reaching the courts, while narrowing that protection to exclude admissions of fault may stilt apologies and rob them of credibility.
Keywords: apologies, Scotland, litigation, forgiveness

Paul Scholes has been charged with violent behaviour towards an opponent by the FA for his two-handed push in the face of Middlesbrough midfielder Doriva.
The incident, which occurred during Middlesbrough's 3-2 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on February 11, was not seen by referee Paul Durkin who was facing in the opposite direction.
But the FA have studied video evidence and decided to charge Scholes, who has until March 5 to respond.
The prospect of a possible ban for Scholes comes at a bad time for the Red Devils, who are already set to be denied the services of Gary Neville, who was sent off for headbutting Steve McMananam in the FA Cup victory over Manchester City.
The Reds are also without Rio Ferdinand as he is serving an eight-month ban for failing to attend a drugs test.

Topic: Davidson's Store, 471 St Aubyn Street (circa 1904)
Topic type:
2018 View: By Hamish Crimp
Although now extensively remodelled, this building was originally constructed for Alexander Davidson as a corner store about 1904.
During the early-1890s Alexander Davidson operated a firewood and coal business in central New Plymouth, before selling it to G. H. Foote in January 1895. Davidson then sold his residential property in Molesworth and Buller Streets, travelled to Europe to purchase drapery stock, before returning and opening a drapery store called 'The Little Wonder' in Devon Street East. Davidson operated the store until late-1901, when it was reported that he had sold his shop, was retiring from business, and the entire of his drapery stock was to be auctioned by Newton King.
It seems Davidson didn't actually retire, and soon shifted to Moturoa where had the present shop and attached living quarters constructed - it seems the 'Little Wonder' name was occassionally used to refer to the Moturoa Store as well. The first definitive evidence of Davidson's shop at Moturoa is in early-March 1904, when it was reported at the monthly Taranaki County Council meeting that "Mr Davidson's application for some work to be done near his store at Moturoa was referred to the Omata foreman".
From March 1907 it was reported that A. Davidson was appointed as the Moturoa agent for the Herald and Budget.
The St Aubyn Town District Valuation Roll for 1908-1914 notes that Davidson was the owner of Section 122 Whiteley Township, and that when valued on 31 March 1908, the property had a capital value of £410 and a dwelling (almost certainly the present shop) was present on the site.
Alexander Davidson died on the 2nd of March 1922 aged 81 years, and at the time of his death was noted as a storekeeper at Moturoa; he is buried in Te Henui Cemetery. His funeral departed from the store, which was still being referred to as the 'Little Wonder'.
The shop was extensively renovated and modernised in the early 2000s, and was the premises of Aurora Paints for a number of years. The building is currently divided into two shops, occupied by Taranaki Paint and Gemstylist hair, beauty and nail salon.
Inside the Taranaki Paint premises, some of the original doors and interior fittings survive. The rear brick chimney survived until 2018 when it was regrettably demolished.
See: Taranaki Herald, 19 November 1901, page 3; Taranaki Herald, 8 March 1904, page 3; Taranaki Herald, 15 March 1907, page 1; Taranaki Herald, 3 March 1921

February is Pediatric Dental Health Month so what better time to find a great dentist for your kids. So, the time is almost here for your little one to start taking care of their dental health. It's recommended that a child's should first visit the dentist before their first birthday. Recognizing the right time to see a dentist may be easy, but finding a dentist that's right for you and your little one might be a tougher job. There is no shame in being picky -in fact, it's recommended. This dentist is going to be in charge of your child's teeth and you want to make sure you find the best dentist possible.
An easy way to start your journey to finding your pediatric dentist is through recommendation. Maybe your friends or relatives have someone they would strongly recommend? You can also ask your family pediatrician if they know anyone that they think does a good job. If you would rather look yourself, you can check out the directory at The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and draw up a shortlist of those whom you might find to be a good fit.
You don't have to pick out a dentist right away and you should never feel obliged to go with your first pick if you aren't totally comfortable with them. Scheduling consultations is an easy way for you to get to know a dentist before your child has any sort of treatment. You'll also need to make sure that they take your insurance.
Next, focus on whether you think they would be a good fit for your child. If your child has special needs or is wary of strangers or doctors, you may want to ask the dentist how he would accommodate this. You want to have a dentist who is friendly and warm to work with your child. Dentists are an important factor in your child's dental health and you'll want to make sure that this first impression your child has is a good one, otherwise you risk reluctant future visits.
Base your impression on more than just the dentist's personality, experience and qualifications. Get a feel for the atmosphere of the office. Take a look around, accept invitations for a tour and see if this seems like a place your child would want to visit. Pediatric dentists work with children and their offices should cater to them – from the decorations to waiting room toys. If your child enjoys the waiting room it will make things much easier for you for now and the future.
If you invest time in finding a great dentist at the start of your child's dental health journey then that journey will be positive and trouble-free.

Earlier this month, Mozilla announced that it was pulling the plug on Firefox OS smartphones, thereby bringing to an end the hope of an open source contender in the mobile space from a non-profit organization like the Mozilla Foundation. The reason provided by the company was that it was unable to provide the best user experience, but that was partly because of the single-minded focus on making the software work on extremely low-end hardware, presumably, to keep costs in check. However, with Google and Apple dominating the mobile ecosystem since the start of the decade, even companies with deep pockets like Microsoft and BlackBerry have found it difficult to compete on even terms with the two incumbents, who, between them, control over 95 percent of the smartphone market. So the folks over at Mozilla always had their task cut out for them.
When the organization first decided to launch its own contender in the mobile OS space a couple of years back, it had managed to sign up partners like Spanish telecom company Telefonica, Chinese electronics manufacturer ZTE, TCL-owned French brand Alcatel, Philippine electronics company Cherry Mobile and Indian phone brand Intex, to name a few. Now, however, one of the largest operators in Europe, Telefonica, has decided to abandon the platform in favor of Android – Cyanogen OS, to be precise. This makes the company the latest in a growing list of Cyanogen OS adopters that include ZUK, YU and Wileyfox. Telefonica has announced that its first batch of COS-powered devices have started shipping in Spain, and will reach German and British shores sometime next year. The company also says that it plans to go beyond the confines of its traditional markets and introduce its Cyanogen-loaded devices in newer territories as well.
As for Firefox OS, it may not be found on smartphones any longer, but Mozilla is far from pulling the plug on the platform itself. According to the announcement by Mozilla earlier this month, Firefox OS will continue to live on in other smart, connected devices, as per Mozilla's stated endeavor of promoting open-source software. According to the organization's SVP of Connected Devices, Mr. Ari Jaaksi, "We are proud of the benefits Firefox OS added to the Web platform and will continue to experiment with the user experience across connected devices".

Maor Levi
Mini Biography of Maor Levi ::
Name: Maor Levi
Date of Birth: 05/06/1988
Country: Israel
City: Ashqelon
If you have been living under a rock for the past few years then it is time to climb out, put on your dancing shoes and make way for Maor Levi's side project 123XYZ.
Maor began his journey into the world of electronic music at the tender age of 11 when he broke free of his restricted knowledge and experience of local Psy-Trance artists Infected Mushroom, Doof , Yahel and others and also discovered Hard Trance.
Delving deeper into the land of electronica, Maor inevitably stumbles across Tiesto's 'In Search of Sunrise' album. This was a major staging point for Maor as the
deep kick drums, driving basslines and resonating melodies overwhelmed him with enchantment. It was then that Maor knew that he wanted to be a part of this culture and dedicated himself to producing it to reach the foundations of it.
After many years of hard practice and determination Maor finally signed his first record 'Ministry of Love' to the UK Label 'Lost Language' under his Progressive Trance alias 'Pillow One' and laid the foundation for his career in producing.
Bringing a new approach to the Israeli trance scene with his unique blend of various sounds and genres Maor's success became unstoppable signing massive hits to many top global labels such as 'Anjunabeats UK', 'Spinnin Records NL', 'Armada NL', 'Ministry of Sound', 'Be Yourself Music' and the mighty Toolroom Records, topping charts with his 123XYZ mask, and many more. Maor's earned the attention and love of many listeners and resulted in a large fan base that kept him moving within the industry.

At Ginkgo Residential we strive to be greener by practicing more environmentally sensitive operations with every step we take. Solar energy is among the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy sources available and one avenue we are investing in. Ginkgo is leading the industry in progressive energy options with our first installation of solar panels to generate power for common spaces at Aurora Apartment Homes in Charlotte, NC.
Philip Payne, a Principal at Gingko recently participated in a discussion about Solar Economics as part of ULI's Responsible Property Investment Product Council's webinar series for 2018. Philip, along with other panelists shared their experiences investing in solar energy; including the economics, value impact, returns, tips and more. Mr. Payne stated, "That while the project had a "payback" of 9 years, the investment in solar made sense because of its ROI (over 10%) and its immediate impact on the NPV on the property ($150,000 after a net cost of $87,500)." He also noted during the webinar "In real estate, we are about creating value, and its hard to argue with the value created with this solar project."
"Here Comes the Sun" was the first in a 6-webinar series being developed by the RPIC in 2018. Future topics will include the business case for sustainability from the institutional investment community, technology, and real estate: AI and robotics, the intersection of climate change, resiliency and investment, new tools for sustainability finance and private capital solutions in affordable housing and homelessness.

Kids and their toys
Kids are so funny. Sammie used to have one of those big, plastic kitchens. We have long since gotten rid of it. But she still liked to play with everything that came with it - the cookware set, the food, the silverware, etc., so I let her keep those for a while even after getting rid of the kitchen. When she finally grew tired of those, we bagged them up and sent them to her cousin's house, as he had just recently gotten his own kitchen, but, didn't have much stuff for it yet. All of this transpired several years ago. And now, all these years later, she is asking for more kitchen stuff. I can't remember what it was she and her friend's were playing, but, she was wanting some dishes and food and stuff. I would normally say to myself, 'see - we should've kept all that stuff', but, I'm not - for once! That is a long time in between her being ready to get rid of them and wanting to play with them again - too long for hanging onto all of that stuff. And - wanting to play with that stuff again probably won't last very long - she is almost eleven years old, and her two best friends are in the 6th and 7th grades!

The computer system that controls your car has a built in safety feature called Reduced Power or Limp Mode which is designed to get the car where it is going but under low engine power. If a glitch appears in the operating system that controls vital components such as the throttle actuator the computer will go into a Power Reduction (limp) before a check engine light can be triggered. Most of the time it takes being in this mode for some time before the check engine light will illuminate.
As a car ages it begins to developed a substance call Coking which resembles a thin brown tar on its throttle bore actuator and butterfly. When this happens the response time between the throttle pedal sensor and the actuator increases causing a problem. This condition can be accompanied by either throttle pedal or throttle actuator trouble codes. Other systems can create a limp mode condition, this is the most popular by far.
The throttle actuator bore is located at the inlet of the intake manifold under the hood.
The cost for this repair is surprisingly inexpensive. You will need throttle bore cleaner and shop towels which together will run about $22.00 (US) at any auto parts store or Amazon.

In this debut satire, a trendy numerical rating system determines the fates of individuals.
Philip Goodwin is trapped in a loveless marriage. The problem is that he has a great sense of humor, while his wife, Sheila, is "Hypo-Humoresque"—completely without humor. Their plight is worsened when "Data Snatcher" Alex Pragat creates the Pragat Personal Rating system, which—like the Zagat restaurant rating system—appoints numerical values to people. This seems innocent enough, except that "[w]ithin months of the website's launch, an individual's PPR came to define for one and all the worth of an individual to society." Despite Philip's decent rating, Sheila cheats on him with their marriage counselor. This prompts the middle-aged romantic to search for new love, which he finds in the ravishing Sophie D'Amour. She and Philip realize they're perfect for each other. But after a few unforgettable dates, Sophie reveals that she's a "habitual and compulsive trespasser"—a crime for which she's then arrested. As a result, Philip struggles with loneliness. Sheila, meanwhile, is struck by a lightning bolt of astounding power. The accident hospitalizes her, but she glows (literally) with celebrity allure. Philip tries to retain his privacy, and sanity, as events spin out of control. Debut author Begler is a fabulously skilled comedian capable of winsome asides and ruthlessly ribald jabs. His gonzo narrative skewers many of modern society's most controversial subjects: privacy rights, health care and class division. His extended commentaries often feature moments of surreal wonder, as with "a low-flying, small black cloud, which to all eyewitnesses, not one exception, resembled a profile of Abraham Lincoln wearing a baseball cap." Begler's exuberant cleverness is perhaps most cutting when focused on the rich and famous: "Several celebrities were brave enough to place their heads directly into [Sheila's] mysterious light," which grants instant face-lifts. Sometimes, however, Begler throws too many jokes at the wall, and not everything sticks—a small price for admission into this wonderland.
A delicious, scalding cup of satire.

After a nice rebound for about 3 weeks, our Straits Times Index saw some cracks and slammed down quite a fair bit yesterday.
Trump's plan to increase the proposed 10% tariff to 25%, couple with DBS's results which didn't meet expectation sent our Straits Times Index down 42 points to its nearest support at 3283 region.
Banks took a hit as the impending trade wars could hurt their books and with DBS reporting results which missed the marked, traders took the chance to offload OCBC and UOB.
From our previous plan, Straits Times Index did a pull back after hitting our 3334 region and after retracing managed to fight back to come back to resistance as planned. So what are we planning now?
- 3335 area is a resistance we must respect. Breaking and staying above this might take us to our next possible target of 3410.
- If the support at 3283 region don't hold then we might see it test 3224 region.
- STI broke its short term uptrend line and is below its 10ema which isn't a good sign if you're on the long side.
- We're watching for the breaks and will act accordingly.
We hope our timely updates of the Straits Times Index has been useful as we manoeuvre this market without falling into unnecessary traps. Preserving our capital is important as we await for clearer market directions.

Critics of the ECB's "Outright Monetary Transactions" (OMT) have asked the court to examine whether the scheme is in line with Germany's Basic Law or whether it breaches the central bank's mandate.
Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann, one of the most vocal critics of the scheme, will give his expert opinion during two days of hearings which began Tuesday, as will ECB executive board member Jörg Asmussen.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble, too, addressed the court. It was "up to the ECB to decide, within its wide remit, which are the correct monetary policy measures to take," the minister insisted.
As a European institution, ECB actions did not fall under the jurisdiction of the constitutional court, Schäuble argued.
If it did, then the ECB would also have to answer to a whole range of national constitutional courts with possibly very different rulings.
The German government "sees no sign that the measures breach the ECB's mandate," which was to safeguard price stability, Schäuble insisted. The ECB "cannot solve member countries' problems, but only buy them time," he said.
Furthermore, no bond purchases had yet been made under the OMT scheme "and
so it can only be judged when a corresponding decision has been made," the
finance minister argued.
Ever since the ECB unveiled the OMT to buy up the sovereign debt of the euro area's most debt-wracked members last August, fears of a break-up of the
single currency have indeed receded.
Europe's storm-battered financial markets have enjoyed a period of relative calm, without a single OMT ever being carried out.
Nevertheless, like many of the ECB's emergency anti-crisis measures, the OMT has its critics -- both in the pro-euro and anti-euro camps -- who claim it oversteps the central bank's mandate and is unconstitutional.
They filed similar complaints against the eurozone's EFSF and ESM bailout funds last year, but their objections were thrown out by the Constitutional Court last September. The OMT is different, however.
While the EFSF and the ESM were set up by governments, the OMT programme is the brainchild of the ECB itself, drawn up within its own monetary policy mandate, which is by definition independent and must remain free from any political interference.
Very strict conditions have been laid down if a country wants to be eligible for support from the OMT scheme and the ECB has said it will decide on a case-by-case basis whether to grant a country access.
The plaintiffs, a diverse group of German politicians, lawyers and citizens, argue the ECB is creating risks for German taxpayers that their elected representatives cannot control.
While the Constitutional Court is not expected to make a ruling on the OMT before the autumn, observers suggested the two days of hearings could become a sort of showdown between the Bundesbank and the ECB. But Bundesbank chief Weidmann denied that would be the case.
"It's not about two central banks fighting before the court," Weidmann was quoted by Dow Jones Newswires as saying at a Bundesbank conference in Frankfurt on Monday.
"Two representatives of the central banks were invited as experts and will answer the court's questions," he added.
Asmussen told the mass-circulation daily Bild in an interview on Monday that "we've been invited as experts and the hearings will provide a good opportunity to explain the advantages of the OMT."
In an interview with German public television on Monday, ECB president Mario Draghi defended the OMT programme and rejected concerns that the scheme was effectively a way of printing money to pay for governments' debts.
"It will only come into action if confidence in the euro fails, not to finance states," Draghi said.
"We won't intervene to ensure a country's solvency," he said.
And Draghi insisted that the "risks for German taxpayers are much less than they were a year ago."
