Denver Car Accident Lawyer
If you were recently injured in an auto accident in the Denver area, contact a car accident lawyer today. Car crashes often lead to serious injuries and destroyed property. Medical bills and expensive property damage can lead to financial woes, which can be overwhelming when dealing with an injury.
If someone else is responsible for your auto accident, you need to call an experienced Denver car accident lawyer immediately.
If the other party was driving dangerously or recklessly, they could be held responsible for the accident. Additionally, the driver at fault may owe you compensation for your injuries and other damages. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney in Denver today to discuss your case in more detail.
Proving Fault Following An Auto Accident
Proving who was at fault for an auto accident is a critical step in pursuing a compensation claim. Colorado law requires that accident victims prove they were not at fault for the accident. However, determining fault in a car accident is complicated.
There are many factors that go into this determination, and each party's account of the crash will likely differ. Of course, no one wants to be held responsible for causing an accident.
To prove who was at fault, a Denver car accident lawyer will research the applicable traffic laws, examine the police report, eyewitness accounts, and any other evidence, such as dashboard camera videos.
Once an accident victim proves they were not responsible for the accident, they can seek compensation from the at-fault driver or their insurance company.
Legal Responsibility of Denver Drivers
In Colorado, one driver's responsibility is compared to the other driver's responsibility to determine each party's level of fault. This is known as the modified comparative fault standard.
If you hit someone, you're responsible; if they hit you, they're responsible. However the real world, things are usually not so clear cut. In most cases, accidents have multiple causes and sometimes it seems that no one, or everyone, is to blame. Under the comparative fault standard, drivers who were partially at fault for an accident can still seek compensation for their damages if they were less than 50 percent at fault. Essentially, this means that if the other driver was found to be more at fault than the accident victim was, the victim could still pursue their claim.
However, if an accident victim was partially at fault, their compensation award will be reduced relative to their level of fault. For example, if the victim was 10 percent at fault for the accident, their claim award will decrease by 10 percent.
Compensation for Damages
Damages or harms suffered as a result of the accident, determine how much money a victim may win in a lawsuit. Common damages from auto accidents include:
- Doctor or hospital bills
- Lost wages due to missing work during recovery
- Property damage
- Long-term health care costs
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement and impairment
It is unfortunately common for car accident victims to sustain serious injuries in a crash. Broken bones, spinal injuries, paralysis, and head injuries are examples of such injuries.
Injuries, even minor ones, can lead to overwhelmingly high medical costs even with insurance. These expenses can add more stress to an already overwhelming situation.
An experienced Denver car accident lawyer can help clients calculate such losses, and determine the amount of monetary compensation they could be owed.

The owners of suburban areas are increasingly undertown and country planning use wide rolls of geotextile fabric. What is the material and for what purpose it is used? Try to understand. The non-woven material made from synthetic polymer fibers interwoven is excellent qualitative characteristics: it does not wear resistant and rot. Thanks to the optimal combination of performance geotextiles is convenient to use in many spheres of human activity: in land management, in construction, landscaping.
Types of geotextiles and its characteristics
Depending on the manufacturing techniques are distinguished:
- bonded geotextiles - Created by dragging with the help ofserrated needle bonding yarns through the base. It has excellent strength and excellent water permeability, whereby the regeneration is widely used in drainage systems.
- thermally bonded geotextile - Is produced by the action of heatprocessing fabric in which the synthetic fibers are melted and more tightly bonded to each other. It differs dense structure, high tensile strength, but lower filtration qualities.
Thanks to special technology geotextile has a number of indisputable advantages, the main among which:
- Environmentally friendly. Geotextile is not subject to degradation on the chemical constituents are not thereby causing harm to human health and the environment.
- Strength. The nonwoven fabric is resistant to mechanical damage, piercing and tearing stress. Significant elongation of the material to rupture, which occurs due to an infinite length of yarn virtually eliminates its damage during installation.
- Resistance to the environment. It is not preet, no silts up and does not rot, resistant to UV light, acids, alkalis and organic substances.
- Easy installation. The material produced in the form of small rolls and light, which is convenient to transport and, if necessary sawn in half the conventional handsaw. The material itself in the application of user-friendly cut with a knife or scissors.
- Economical in price. With excellent quality characteristics of geotextiles cost is quite low, so they are widely used in industrial construction and for domestic use in the regeneration of suburban areas.
Possible applications of the material striking versatility agrovoloknom. At the same time with the launch of new brands of geotextiles range of use of the material is constantly growing.
Geotextile is one environmentally safe materials under the action of ultraviolet radiation does not produce any by-products
Thermally bonded geotextiles used in road construction, agriculture, with the strengthening of the slopes and shores of water bodies
How can you apply the geotextile on the site?
Geotextile allows on-siteany ideas geoplastichnogo transformation of the landscape. Using a non-woven fabric, you can create a new design of the composition, transforming the appearance of the site.
Option # 1 - improving the quality of garden paths
It is hard to imagine a land without runawaydeep into the winding garden paths. When planning their arrangement, always want to see the result is a beautiful and functional element of landscape design, which regularly serve more than one season.
The application allows you to save agrovoloknomdecorative and extend the life garden paths. After all, even a small portion of the device on the track requires a lot of hassle: excavation, backfilling underlying "cushion", laying the coating itself. But during the operation, when the layers of gravel or sand gradually subside in the ground, on the surface of the tracks start to appear hollow, bumps and irregularities.
A layer of geotextile laid between the soil and gravel bedding, allows to redistribute the load evenly and prevent mixing of the layers
Conveniently use nonwoven andregeneration of sand tracks, gravel areas. Padded between soil and backfill material geotextile optimizes the seal so that the bulk material is practically not penetrate into the soil. This will significantly contribute to reducing the flow of bulk material - and thus the overall economy. In addition, the web would contribute to a rapid outflow of water and prevent the germination of weeds and grasses. In marshy areas and soft ground non-woven fabric and does perform lasting reinforcement function.
Option # 2 - waterproofing of artificial lakes
Decorative ponds - popular elementslandscape design. Construction of any of them, whether it's a miniature lake and a large swimming pond requires a special waterproof bowl.
During the construction of the reservoir bottom of the pit is often lining layer of gravel or sand, over which is laid waterproofing material
During the operation and cleaning of the reservoir is alwaysthere is a possibility of material damage plant roots or the same stones. And the use of geotextiles can significantly simplify life. Suffice agrovoloknom lay under a layer of insulation, not to worry more about protecting the material from external damage.
If the geotextile lay a second layer on top of the waterproofing material, the bottom of the reservoir and all can be easily spread and arrange river stones
Option # 3 - improvement of local area
Agrovoloknom can be used to create publicsites, registration of rocky gardens. Construction at the site of today's popular patio with wooden terraces and decks also can not do without the use of geotextiles. He lay as foundation soil to eliminate the possibility of sprouting through the boardwalk weeds.
The material, which allows the soil to breathe and has the ability to pass moisture freely deliver reliable protection of terraces or platforms under a summer kitchen on the penetration of pesky ants and rodents
With geotextile easily share and build high embankment, strengthening the surface and reinforced soil, drained soil and provide adequate filtering.
Laid under the turf layer fabric willensure the diversion of rainwater, thus preventing erosion and significantly strengthening the slopes of the uneven surface. Also indispensable geotextiles and equipping playgrounds.
In the manufacture of children's sandboxes, sand not to trample the soil and do not mix with the earth, it is only necessary strewn bottom of the pit layer of geotextile
Option # 4 - improvement of foundations and retaining walls
The strength and durability of any constructiondirectly depends on the reliability of its foundation. If we talk about the types of concrete foundations, the considerable damage it causes capillary wetting of the ground water. Thermally bonded geotextile helps to improve waterproofing monolithic foundation.
When constructing foundations geotextiles used for the separation of fine-grained soil and gravel dumping so as to prevent mixing of the layers, and at the same time and capillary wetting of the walls
Material can simultaneously perform two functions: to separate the layers and provide effective drainage to prevent prolonged contact surface of the concrete base with moisture.
Option # 5 - green roof
Popular Today "green" roofs also can not do without the use of a non-woven material.
To prevent mixing of the layers agrovoloknom sandwiched between the drainage layer and humus, and to protect the roof - on top of the waterproofing
Yes, and in the regeneration of the inversion roofing material is used to prevent the insulation between the plates prigruzochnogo mother. For these purposes, it is placed on top of the insulation layer.
Agrovoloknom use in horticulture
Universal material offers incredibleopportunities for gardeners. Applying agrovoloknom can facilitate the cultivation of crops, increase yields, and in parallel with this drive to solve many problems.
Weed control - an annual test formany gardeners. Applying agrovoloknom can significantly reduce the volume of work. By preventing the growth of weeds, painting in this case will fully ensure the access of water, and with it fertilizers and herbicides, to the roots of garden plants.
After dropping off the crop plants in the holes done in the canvas, you provide a comfortable environment for the plants development, and himself gets rid of the tedious weeding
It is no secret that many ornamental plants"Finicky" in nature. They require special care, preferring the special composition of the soil, which is often different from the prevailing at the ground station.
To differentiate the different types of fertile soil, creating impromptu "pockets" for the landing of certain varieties, you can use the same geotextile
Creating an artificial landscape on depletedsoils require resettlement of topsoil, which under the influence of natural conditions is washed in a thin layer. Additional layer of fabric will prevent contamination of infertile soil and leaching. Thanks to a nonwoven web of plant roots will not grow in poor soils.
Intra-seasonal night frosts are also a great danger for the plants. Rescued material in the hot summer months, having covered a delicate foliage from the scorching sun.
With agrovoloknom can protect and aboveground plant parts. To do this, at the time of cooling is sufficient to hide their web
Geotextile - versatile material, the use of which does not require the possession of special skills. Its use greatly simplifies the work in the garden and for landscaping.

He may not like Obamacare, but that doesn't mean Sen. Marco Rubio isn't going to take it.
The Florida Republican and a staunch critic of Obamacare recently became officially covered under the federal health care exchange, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
"Senator Rubio spent time looking at all the options and decided to enroll through the D.C. exchange for coverage for him and his family," spokeswoman Brooke Sammon told the paper.
Rubio also took the federal subsidy, which is worth up to 75 percent of monthly premium costs and was offered to lawmakers and staff. Rubio had to sign up through the exchange, called DC Health Link, because Florida has refused to set one up.
"Senator Rubio is following the law, even though he opposes it," Sammon said.
Sen Bill Nelson bought his policy on the exchange last week and will also have Medicare Part A, a spokesman told the Times.
According to a report released Wednesday, more Floridians are signing up for the new federal health insurance program than residents in any other state.

[First published in 1984, since when the Halifax Building Society has turned full circle by converting itself into a bank].
In the world of finance, Halifax means its Building Society, the first in size in the country. It originates in the amalgamation, in 1928, of two societies, the Halifax Permanent (founded 1852) and the Halifax Equitable (founded 1871). Neither could claim to be a pioneer of the building society movement, although when the former was established, permanent societies were still sufficiently novel for the word to be included in its title. Nor did these two have a monopoly of the town's business, in which there have been at least six societies. Yet by 1928, they were, respectively, the largest and third largest building societies in the country. There must be something unusual about a town which could produce two such giants.
One reason could be its relatively isolated position. Surrounded to the south and to the east by a chain of hills, communications before the days of canals was practically confined to Leeds. In the nineteenth century the area was described as being in a "great waste and moors where corn and grass could scarcely be seen". But the hills had advantages in the form of numerous streams and rivers usable as water power and transport, as early as the fifteenth century. Halifax became an important centre for wool. In the 1560's, the decay of York's industry was attributed to Halifax's superior water power. Thereafter, growth was continuous to at least the end of the Napoleonic wars. At first, cloth went to Leeds by packhorse, where it was finished and repacked into individual customer lots before being sent by water to Hull for onward shipment to London or elsewhere. By 1700 transport to Leeds was by water, and after 1758 Halifax was connected directly to Hull by means of the Calder Navigation canal. The town was now independent of Leeds and could build its own dressing shops and dye works. It also created an export trade chiefly to Portugal, Turkey, Guinea and the Levant. Halifax seems to have been remarkably adept at avoiding the depressions of the wool industry. In the early days it moved into worsted goods, the rapid growth of which contributed greatly to the decline of the traditional English cloth. In the 1780's cotton manufacture was introduced into the area, followed by textile card making, carpets, and later wiredrawing and engineering.
The worsted trade had been largely developed by the Akroyd family, one of a large number of Halifax families known for their philanthropy, not only in the conventional Victorian tradition of charities and public buildings, but also in the founding of thrift institutions. Akroyd, Crossley, Mackintosh, Rawson, Swain, Pollard, Briggs and others are names occurring in succeeding generations as benefactors of the town and incidentally, as its leading bankers or bank directors. Edward Akroyd founded the Yorkshire Penny Bank in 1852. It was based not in Halifax but in Leeds, but when it re-registered in 1871 it remained true to its origins, for eight of the eleven guarantors of the bank were Halifax men. Akroyd was also associated with the chairman of the National Savings movement during and after the Second World War. Across at Huddersfield, eight miles away, Charles Sikes, another banker from a banking family, was the driving force in the establishment of the Post Office Savings Bank.
Perversely the origins of banking have nothing to do with thrift, but instead arise from trade and the difficulties of making payments at a distance. The earliest bank in Halifax was established in 1779, about the time that the town was becoming less reliant on Leeds. This was the commercial Bank of Hainsworth, Holden, Swaine and Pollard. Of these, Swaine was a worsted manufacturer. No doubt his cloth sales gave him funds in London, where he owned a bank with his brother. A profit could be made by allowing other Halifax merchants to draw on his London funds for payments there, repaying him in Halifax. A perfectly conventional reason for the start of a provincial bank. Pollard was also a partner in the Bradford Bank. This failed in 1781, and there- after his name disappears from the Halifax firm, but his family was associated with later banking enterprises. Soon after, the Commercial Bank became Brothers Swaine & Co., but collapsed in 1807, with some £64,000 outstanding in banknotes, and £42,000 in drafts. However, the Swaine's worsted business survived.
In 1791, the Wakefield banker, Ingram established a Halifax branch. Probably the branch became more important than the head office, because in 1809 the Wakefield business was sold. However, the Halifax bank did not survive the failure of its London agent in the crisis year of 1816.
The remains of the Swaine's bank passed to their major creditors, John Rawson, John Rhodes and Rawdon Briggs, and these formed a successor bank until 1811, when the partnership split. Rhodes and Briggs, both mill owners, continued as the Halifax Bank, in which they were later joined by John Garlick, previously a clerk at Swaines. The Rawson family started a new bank, with a branch at Huddersfield. Both firms prospered, giving the town many years of stable banking and surviving the troubles of 1825 with ease. Unlike many other strong private banks, however, they were not bound by traditional ways of working and both converted into joint stock banks in 1836. Briggs & Co. became the Halifax Commercial Banking Company and the Rawsons, the Halifax and Huddersfield Union Banking Company. No doubt they were influenced not only by the actions of each other, but also by the formation, in 1829, of the Halifax Joint Stock Bank, one of the earliest of the joint stock banks.
The Yorkshire District Bank opened a Halifax branch in 1837, but it may not have survived that bank's absorption by the Yorkshire Bank, which in time became part of the Midland Bank, and is not to be confused with the present name of the Yorkshire Penny. In the 1880's and 1890's more outside banks arrived: the London and Yorkshire; the Lancashire and Yorkshire and the Mercantile of Lancashire. Then the two building societies joined in. They considered that the lack of cheque book facilities inhibited their growth - a story with a familiar sound to-day - and, accordingly, each formed their own bank. In 1899 and 1909, respectively, the Equitable established the Halifax Equitable Bank and the Permanent, the Halifax and District Permanent Banking Co. Ltd. Each was independent of its building society, but each largely utilised the management, staff and offices of its associated society, into which much of its surplus funds were placed. Another dual capacity organisation, the Birkbeck bank and building society collapsed in 1911. Thereafter, the public were inclined to distrust these organisations, so in the due course the two banks were sold. The Permanent went to the Union Bank of Manchester and the Equitable to Martins. Both are therefore now part of Barclays. Nevertheless, for a short time, the town was the headquarters of five joint stock banks, something of a record. True, in 1837, Liverpool could boast seven, but three of these failed within less than two years of life.
The three original banks retained their independence for a remarkably long time in the face of the aggressive attempts made by London and Manchester banks to form national networks. This forced the Halifax Joint Stock Bank to abandon its policy of confining its activities to a single office, and instead it opened a number of branches, all in the locality. In 1910, it amalgamated with the Halifax and Huddersfield to form the West Yorkshire Bank. As such, it survived another eight years, until November 1919, when it joined the Lloyds group. Eight weeks later, the Halifax Commercial was absorbed by Martins, chosen, incidentally because the Treasury was seeking to establish a sixth major banking group and would not allow any of the then 'Big Five' to take over the Halifax.
The town's banks have always issued notes: indeed the area has been notorious for small denomination notes of doubtful value put out by traders and small shopkeepers. Ingram's notes had displayed a vignette of the Halifax Piece Hall (also known as the Manufacturer's Hall). Opened in 1779 at a cost variously reported as £9,692 and £12,000 it consisted of 315 cubicles on three floors which were rented out under strict regulations for the sale of cloth, presumably by piece. The scene was later used for Lizars' notes for the Halifax Joint. The notes of Rawson, Briggs featured a beehive beside a tree. When the firm split, the vignette was shared, the Rawsons acquiring the beehive and the Briggs the tree, to which they added their monogram and two sheep. In 1826 it was replaced by the hanging sheep, familiar as an emblem in various towns in Yorkshire, and this was retained for the notes of the Halifax Commercial.
The West Yorkshire and the Commercial were the last of the bank note issuing joint stock banks in the country. There were only nine such banks when the Halifax and Huddersfield surrendered its note issuing rights in 1910. The town's building societies had pursued one policy - to grow nationally. The banks had followed the opposite course - to remain local. Both achieved remarkable success, and, in their various ways, contributed greatly to the development of modern financial systems.

The number of wolves in Alpine areas has increased dramatically, by one-third since last year, according to the Swiss Wolf Group organisation.
The Swiss Wolf Group's latest study indicates that 98 wolf packs were active in Alpine regions between May 2017 and April of this year, 23 more packs than the previous year. Four of the packs are roaming in Switzerland – two in canton Valais and one each in Graubünden and Ticino – amounting to between 30 and 40 animals.
The increase is more dramatic than in previous years, when the wolf population had grown by between 10 and 15% annually, according to the Swiss Wolf Group. The organisation said this change indicates new "exponential growth" among the Alpine wolf population.
Wolves were nearly extinct in Europe before the first ones began reappearing in the Alps and in Switzerland in the mid-1990s.
The 30-40 wolves currently living in Switzerland are protected under the Council of Europe's Bern Convention, a binding international legal agreement. Wolves may only be hunted if they kill more than 25 farm animals within a month.
The wolves' return is not without controversy, with farmers who fear for their livestock arguing for looser hunting restrictions and calls for a relaxation of the animals' protected status.
A government proposal to change wolves' status from "strongly protected" to "protected" is due to be decided on later this month.

For those of us who have read the parables often, this promised to be a familiar story. The pastor took us to Luke 19, a story about a successful businessman who gives several employees small stock portfolios to manage while he goes on an extended trip. When he returns he asks each about their return on investment. One earned 1000% return. One earned 500%. And one wrapped the money in a cloth for fear of failing.
"We all have abilities," the pastor said, pointing out that each person in this part of the story was given something.
"Our abilities create opportunities," the pastor said, pointing out that having the money gave the employees an opportunity to do what they otherwise couldn't do.
"Opportunity comes with responsibility," the pastor said. And stopped. Because near the front of the room, a woman gasped and fainted. It was a blood-sugar issue, and things were fine. Later. At the moment, however, there was sudden stillness in the room of 500 people.
And then people began to move. The three nurses sitting within 10 chairs. The three doctors sitting within 10 rows. The EMT, the security staff, the closest friends.
As if it was a scripted sermon illustration, the rest of us watched what happens when those who have developed their abilities to care for people in health crises were given the opportunity and acted responsibly. At that moment, it was clear that the most significant spiritual action in the room wasn't the preaching. At that moment it was the caring. And some of us, trained for different kinds of crises, gifted with different skills, stayed out of the way.
My friend, one of the doctors, said that that phrase echoed in his head after he sat down. "Opportunity comes with responsibility."
It's been echoing in my heart all week.

Joining the Military with Gun Charges
Though Americans have the right to possess firearms as per the Constitution, some guns require their owners to have licenses, and guns may be used only under specific circumstances. When an individual breaks any of these rules, then he or she may face gun-related criminal charges.
These felony offenses will go on an individual's criminal record if the individual is convicted. As with other crimes, gun charges may hinder an individual's ability to join the military. Even still, people with gun charges, under the right conditions, may still be able to join the armed forces.
Types of Gun Charges
Gun charges range from the illegal possession of a firearm to violent crimes committed with a firearm. More specifically, these charges may be classified as:
- Carrying an unlicensed handgun
- Concealing a handgun without a license
- Armed robbery or burglary
- Aggravated assault with a firearm
- Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
Each of these crimes may land an individual in prison, and, as previously stated, restrict his or her ability to join a branch of the armed forces.
Getting into the Military
When you have a gun crime on your record and you want to join the military, then you may have a few options. These options may include:
- Requesting a felony waiver from the military
- Applying for expungement
- Having the record sealed
There are a few important notes to keep in mind with each of these options:
- The military will not necessarily grant a waiver to all individuals who apply for them
- An individual is only eligible for expungement of a gun crime if he or she was found not guilty
- Even expunged and sealed records must be disclosed to military recruiters
Having a gun crime dismissed either by the military or by a court may increase an individual's chances of being accepted for service in the armed forces.
Contact Us
If you have gun charges on your criminal record but wish to join the military, you may be able to make yourself eligible for service. Contact the Dallas criminal defense attorneys of the Law Offices of Mark T. Lassiter at (214) 845-7007 for more information.

'Please show consideration for our neighbours when leaving' by Cathy Lennon
When we came out of the club, we were fizzing and liquid and leaping tall buildings. There were bodies on the ground and he said Look, I'm Evil Knieveland he took a run up and cleared them all. I thought they were sleeping, but some of them weren't and I laughed, embarrassed by their dull, fish eyes. Our ears were still playing tricks and our shouts bounced down the shopping canyons, so I pretended I couldn't hear them when they tried to speak. I sang the chorus of the last tune, over and over, louder and louder. The council truck came down and men in high viz with long brushes chased at my ankles. Sorry love. Mind how you go. I saw them roll one up like a carpet and sling it into the compactor. I ran up the wall and did a back flip, walked casually away, throbbing. He caught me in a doorway and we kissed until I thought I might be sick in his mouth. The beacon strobed us orange as the truck passed. I saw an arm, hanging out.

He built 3 businesses in 3 years
He paid off his house in less 3 years
He coached over 60 people to build successful businesses
Meet Alex Barker
He also happens to be the host of The 66-Day Experiement Podcast where he runs 66-day experiments and documents the results.
He read a book a day in Season 1 of the 66 Day Experiment Podcast
He faced 66 daily days rejection in Season 2/.He created a business in 66 days in Season 3!
He helped a "want-repreneur" couple launch a business in 66 days in Season 4
His mission is to help men and women find a disciplined approach to success in life and business.
Honestly, when I first met Alex, he told me he was selling drugs legally (as a pharmacist of course) and then he told me how he paid off his house from his online business and I was hooked!
In this interview, we went deep into how the heck it felt for Alex to pay off his house and what specifically he discovered by going to mastermind groups.
I ask him what he discovered by getting rejected so often, I mean, getting rejected for any long period doesn't sound fun at all.
We talk about why in all situations, not just sales, you want a hell yes or a hell no. Life loves it when you are specific and intention with your moves.
And I have had many conversations with him since this episode and the thing is, Alex is deceptively brilliant in his concepts and how we runs his practice.
I highly encourage you guys to listen to the whole episode and think about creating or joining a mastermind group with your peers and others that push you to that higher level.

Christmas Decorations(HKTDC Enterprise, Vol 08,2005)
Christmas Decorations
Jingle Bells
For example, 1992-established Pumy Industrial Ltd manufactures indoor and outdoor lights that attract a lot of attention amid a wide range of Christmas products. "Our metal, cube-shaped lanterns and imitation silver-coloured vines are two of our newer light string products," says director Ken Ip.
"We also have tree lights in single colours or mixed arrays, and a brilliant white variety that caters for year-round demand for patio lights. There are also traditional Christmas figures adorned with lights and ornamental symbols."
Tree lights wound into balls may feature 12 different coloured LEDs, while Star Lights come with long life micro-bulbs. Coloured paper lanterns and wreaths use candle lights, while polyresin figures use LEDs, optical fibre lights and 5W wedge bulbs.
Many products comply with international safety standards and approvals, including UL (the US), TUV, VDE, GS, SAA (Australia) and BS (the UK).
Raw materials used include PP and polystyrene sourced on the Chinese mainland, as are the paper for the lanterns and the metal for frames.
"Business is okay, but because the global economy is still weak, worldwide demand is not that great," says Ip. "Recently, our material costs suddenly increased and that made buyers hesitant to place orders. Furthermore, competition is very strong, so we focus on the medium and medium-to-high end of the market."
Minimum order size is 2,000 sets of lights and delivery time is 45-60 days after order confirmation. Major export markets include the US, the UK, Europe and Australia. Production takes place at a 1,000-worker, 200,000-square-foot factory in Panyu on the Chinese mainland, where ISO 9000-certified Pumy is classified as a Grade A company.
Sheric Trading Co Ltd has been in the Christmas decorations business since 1978 and offers a range of floral Christmas goods. "We have single-stemmed flowers, Christmas trees, potted flowers, hanging ornamental flowers and candle rings among our Christmas range," says marketing executive Joanne Ho.
"Most of the materials we use are artificial renditions of various leaves and other artefacts from nature, but the pine cones are natural. The feathers are natural too, but dyed, while some twigs are natural. For the snow effect we use white flock."
Typical products include wreaths with pine cones, cedar leaves and nuts, and candle rings with snowberries, pine cones, thistles, flocked leaves and twigs.
A gem-and-bead candle ring has powdered leaves, while a hand-wrapped candle ring comes with pine cones and berries. Another variation features snowy cypress branches with pine cones, and a swag that uses velvet poinsettias, hawthorn berries and ferns.
Major export markets are the UK, France, Australia, Scandinavia and Japan. Minimum order value is US$5,000 per shipment, and delivery takes 2-3 months from order confirmation. If necessary, Sheric sub-contracts to 150 associated manufacturers in addition to its own factories in Guangdong Province on the Chinese mainland.
Also benefiting from a long history is Wuston Mfg Co, established in 1962. "We have specialised in Christmas items for a long time. It used to be a very traditional field, where most customers needed us to put a lot into the goods but not now," says vice-president Kent Wo.
"Most of our customers are in the US, and buying habits there are noticeably changing. Today, consumers shop at big chains such as Target and Wal-Mart and look for bigger items priced below US$1."
Wo says that as more factories set up on the mainland, so the nature of the business will continue to change. "Right now, the challenges are bigger: for example, buyers from the US want larger quantities of goods...but the prices...!"
Wuston's range includes Christmas trees, stockings, stuffed dolls and toys, including Santa Claus, garlands, ball ornaments and ball-shaped hanging decorations, wall decorations, Christmas calendars, berry trees and berry wreaths.
Minimum order value is US$4,000 per shipment and delivery time is 60-90 days after order confirmation. Main markets are the US, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, France and South America.
Meanwhile, Chit Li Plastic & Metal Co Ltd manufactures Christmas decorations and exports them mainly to the US, Europe and Japan. "We make items that can be used as window displays, such as snowmen sweeping snow, bears warmly wrapped-up against the winter chill, Christmas trees and Santa Claus," says account clerk Cara Yu.
"We have a three-and-a-half inch, three-dimensional snowflake with glitter and a gift set containing three Santas that can come either standalone or in a gift box. We have gift boxes, stockings and bags as standalone items, and also an angel with a harp."
Minimum orders are five cartons and delivery time is 60-90 days after order confirmation. The firm's 50-worker factory is in Taiping in Guangdong Province on the Chinese mainland.
Hong Kong is clearly on the right track to add seasonal joy to businessman and buyer alike.

Did you know: Walt Disney originally wanted to open Disney World in St. Louis but changed his mind because the Anheuser-Busch Corporation said anyone who thought they could open a place without beer in that city was nuts! Those of you who have attended Disneyland in CA may have noticed that you can only purchase alcohol in the California Adventure park. Guess the Disney team wanted to preserve Walt's wishes on the West Coast, but in Florida, Disney World has quickly become a different story.
By now, knowing my Disney obsession and all, it shouldn't surprise you that back in '08, I spent my 21st Birthday celebration in Disney World. My parents told me I could pick anywhere, Vegas, Miami, NYC…. Nope, this girl picked Disney World. You see, growing up I was always fascinated by the different food and drink offered in Epcot and I wanted to finally be able to "Drink Around The World". I'll admit, I was a lightweight back then... (still am). I made it through about 4 out of the 11 countries on a 90 degree day in August before throwing in the towel.
On a recent trip to WDW for Food Blog Forum, my blogger bestie, Jessica from My Baking Heart and I took our Prince Charmings and decided we were going to Drink Around The World in an attempt to redeem myself. I'll say, I made an impressive dent in my past record but I wasn't able to check every country off the list. While I still have a ways to go, I thought I would at least put together a guide for those of you who want to take on the challenge! I'll do my best to update with better pictures as the years go on as well!
Starting in Canada and going counter-clockwise, here it goes!
Canada – Moosehead Beer (We skipped this one because the line was pretty long and it was just beer….#justbeinghonest)

Be sure to check out the recipe at the bottom of this post to see how you can make your own Grand Marnier Slush!
Morocco – Moroccorita. We didn't know these existed until afterwards but this is pretty much a margarita made with vodka. Adding that to the list for next time!
America – Sam Adams …. Mr. Baking Heart got one while Mr. Kasey's Kitchen tried to get French Fries in the American Pavilion... turns out, that's not possible.
Germany – Beer and Riesling. Brews are the obvious choice while in the Germany Pavilion but they have a fabulous wine selection as well. We also indulged in a yummy cheese plate to help absorb some of the libations.
China – Canto Loopy Cocktail. This is a tea-infused cantaloupe cocktail mixed with vodka. We didn't have the chance to try it but sources say it's pretty darn good if you're into melon.

As promised, here is a recipe inspired by the delicious Grand Marnier Slush from the French Pavilion.
1 part Grey Goose Citron
1 part Grand Marnier
2 parts sweet and sour mix
Orange food coloring
Blend ingredients together. Add food coloring in gradually until you achieve the desired color.

The Duchess of Cambridge looked as stylish as ever when she was recently snapped at a friend's wedding. The good news is you can steal Kate's polished and elegant look with today's Tiana B TSV!
Kate was in danger of upstaging the bride, looking stunning in a red lace dress and black court shoes. Lace continues to be a top trend and is a great addition to any wardrobe as can it be worn through the summer and into winter.
Get the look with the Tiana B Layered Stretch Lace Dress TSV, where you can make like Kate with Magenta or choose one of the other colour options (Black, Gunmetal, Latte or Navy).
Black court shoes like Kate's complement the lace dress perfectly and are a classic style that can be worn time and time again. Get your hands on a pair of Rockport Janae High Heel Leather Court Shoes to steal the style.
And of course no 'Kate look' would be complete without a nod to her famous 18-carat sapphire and diamond engagement ring, once belonging to Princess Diana. Kate's ring is said to be worth around £250,000 but you can get your hands on the Kenneth Jay Lane Princess Cluster Ring for a similar, striking style.

In 1470, after Nicolò da Canale helped lose Negroponte to Mehmed II, Venice replaced him as Captain General of the Fleet with Pietro Mocenigo. In 1474, after a series of military and diplomatic successes along the coast of Asia Minio and Cyprus, Venice elected Mocenigo doge. One of the sopracomiti -- ship commanders -- Coriolano Cippico, a Dalmatian in his 50s, wrote an account of these ventures for Marcantonio Morosini, Venetian ambassador to Burgundy,. Burgundy was theoretically an ally of Venice in this war that Pius II had got going -- he called it a crusade against the infidel but he died before the ships sailed -- and this document was most likely intended to encourage Burgundian participation and financing by reassuring them about the Venetian leader.
The document is printed in the 7th volume of Konstantine Sathas' invaluable collection of Venetian documents for 15th-century Greece which you can download here. Cippico's description of the stratioti seems to be the basis of the famous description Sanudo gave later. Cippico writes:
The Venetians, in all the cities of the Morea that are under their dominion, have hired many Albanians on horseback, who are called by the Greek name stratioti. These with their swift raiding have so wasted the part of the Morea that is under the Turks that is is almost a desert and a solitude. These people are by nature intensely rapacious, and more apt to raid than to give battle. They use a shield, sword, and lance; few have breastplates; the others wear a bombazine cuirass as protection against the blows of an enemy. The most valorous of all are those from Nauplion.
Mocenigo's tactics were exceptional for that time: he took took the stratioti with the fleet, and not in roundships and towed hulks, but on the war galleys, carrying ten horses on each galley. Depending on how many allies were sailing with him, this allowed him 400 mounted stratioti. Without heavy, slower ships, he was able to attack with exceptional speed, which was increased by his having the fleet sail to its target by night so the attack could begin dawn. Cippico describes that over and over in this account. Mocenigo had certain principles: he would not attack Greek islands held by the Turks, because the residents were Christians, but only sites on the Turkish mainland.
After a brief description of an attack on the mainland opposite Lesbos. Cippico describes the division of the spoils, a few comments in parentheses:
The stratioti brought the General the heads of their dead enemies, to have a ducat each, as the General had promised them: this has always been their custom. The General loaded the galleys with the spoils, and came to a deserted island with good landings, between Chios and the mainland, which is now called Panagia. Here were put all the spoils. Three arbitrators were selected from the sopracomiti, two Venetians and the third a Dalmatian, which is the custom always used in such circumstances. The arbitrators, according to ancient Venetian custom, gave one tenth of all the spoils to the Captain General. (1/10) The stratioti for their part kept two-thirds (6/10), and the arbitrators one-third (3/10). The General had promised them this. All the prisoners were consigned to the arbitrators: these were sold at auction. (It appears from various reports in Cippico that slave dealers followed the fleet.) The money was divided in this way. First, all the soldiers who had brought in an enemy prisoner were given three ducats. Then, the sopracomiti were paid for the expense of the stratioti's horses. The rest was divided equally among the galleys. The galley of the provveditori was given double what was given to the other galleys. The sopracomiti kept one third, and distributed the rest among the soldiers and oarsmen, according to rank.The next division of the spoils was made on Delos, where Cippico noted columns, statues, remains of temples, an amphitheater, and a colossus of 15 cubits with the inscription
Samos at present is a deserted island and has always been celebrated for its fertility. Now it is full only of all sorts of animals, an abundance of woodland honey which one can find all around in the forests, and springs of sweet and living water that rise in all parts. The horsemen and soldiers were disembarked to drill and refresh themselves. The soldiers and others went hunting and while they were taking various prey, a youth of the Dalmatian nation and language encountered a bear of marvelous size. The bear avoided his blow, went behind the boy and knocked him to the ground. The boy, without losing spirit, jammed his fingers into both the bear's eyes and held its head so that it would not lacerate him, long enough for another youth of the same nation to kill the bear from behind with a sword. On all sides there was a great killing of animals, and the whole army was employed in the hunt. Several days were spent in festival, with a great deal to eat and drink. More than anyone else, the Schiavoni, of whom there were a great many among the oarsmen, sang drinking songs. After everyone was sated, they boasted about the great deeds they had done, and how they had prospered so successfully against such vile men.More from Cippico in another entry.
The top image is a detail from a Genoese tapestry of the Battle of Lepanto; the bear is from a medieval bestiary, and is actually licking her cub into shape rather than eating something.

The Hebrew word for "fast"
The Jewrotica event "Evening of Jewrotica: Bedside Reading" was awesome. As Master of Confessions, I got to read the deepest, darkest secrets of people in the room out loud… It was scintillating, titillating, and – yes – even educational!
Jewrotica is inspiring Jews and erotica with holiness and coolness, and is the pride of progressive Judaism. Jewrotica – awesome!
The people behind Jewrotica are quite quality! I have confidence that any project these folks take on will be equally quality.
I'm so glad that Jewrotica is represented here at Jewlicious! It's bringing voices that need to be heard in the Jewish discussion and Jewish climate environment.
Jewrotica is awesome. It expands the mind and for people who were raised with narrow views on sexuality. Whether you are Jewish or not, or in different sects of Judaism like Orthodox, Conservative or Reform, no matter what your background or where you're from, Jewrotica gets you to see Judaism and how it relates to sexuality in new ways. I really appreciate Ayo being here and helping us learn different ways to connect with our sexuality.
Such an amazing experience! The Sarah Lawrence Jewrotica workshop was more than I could have ever expected – a comfortable, safe, sultry environment where participants clearly felt good about sharing or listening to each other's intimate experiences and relating them to sexy stories from the Torah. From the moment the workshop began, Ayo had a sweet presence that was kinetic and spread around the room; her storytelling abilities had everyone enraptured and made the conversation topics relata…
I'm Heshy Fried from Frum Satire and I am very, very frum. And I completely support Jewrotica – it's doing a service to the frum community. We need some sort of kosher sexual education. Jewrotica even has a system that allows frum filters to filter out certain things to make it PG for us. It's mamish Torah. It's like The Little Midrash Says for sex.
I'm into Jewrotica. I went in for my second circumcision.
While many people fear the "sex talk," Jewrotica offers an opportunity for writers and audiences to speak about sexuality in a open and safe space. When I attended a Jewrotica reading, I heard stories that reminded me that love takes many forms, and that expressing it is a vital part of who we are as a people.
I attended and participated in last month's Jewrotica event. The engaging performers and Ayo, our inviting host, inspired the audience to feel like one big community. What a great way to inspire our community to embrace sex as a beautiful thing that can be fun, exciting, sacred, sensual, ridiculous, scary and everything in between!

We couldn't really function without some level of anxiety but as most people know it has a habit of imposing itself when we'd least like it. Sometimes we're anxious when there's no threat or danger to speak of – but we think there is. At other times there are situations where everyone's anxiety levels are up - only ours is a few more notches up, to the point of being excessive.
So anxiety affects people in different ways and under different circumstances. It may be mild, moderate or excessive. It may be short term or may come to dominate a life, and that's when we think of it as an anxiety disorder. In order to understand what's helpful or not about anxiety we can consider at least five ways in which it appears to be either advantageous to our wellbeing, or not.
Our interpretation of situations is the first thing to consider. Anxiety gives us an advantage when there is a real threat to our health or wellbeing. It helps us to become more wary, to take more precautions, or to get away from the danger as quickly as we can. Possible disadvantages are when and if we interpret situations as being far more threatening and dangerous than they actually are.
Our behavior is the second issue. Mild to moderate levels of anxiety are rarely likely to stop us doing things. It's not uncommon to feel these levels of anxiety when entering into a new social situation, or taking an examination, or visiting the dentist for example. If we become so anxious that it prevents us doing such things then our anxiety results in avoidance and is placing us at a distinct disadvantage.
Time is the third issue. Our bodies are designed to be able to respond to threatening situations and to recover once that threat has past. It gives us a distinct survival advantage and little or no danger follows this fight-or-flightpattern. Other people aren't so lucky. The off switch appears stuck and high anxiety levels continue way beyond the time a threat has passed.
Trigger point is the fourth issue. In a normal situation there is no cause for a surge in anxiety unless or until a threat is known. The disadvantage for some is that their anxiety system is on a hair trigger. It fires up at the slightest hint of a threat and this, again, is a key sign of an anxiety disorder.
Finally, we can consider perspective. In someone with no obvious anxiety issues their level of anxiety will appear proportionate to the threat or danger level they are in. This is a clear advantage and it's the way our anxiety mechanism is supposed to operate. The disadvantage comes when perspective and proportion is lost. Someone with an anxiety disorder will get anxious very easily and his or her anxiety response may be extreme.

Camie tells me that I often start a sentence with the expression, "Here's the thing…." I don't know where that came from or even what it means. I think maybe Monk, the television, OCD detective said it a lot. I don't know, but here's the thing for right now:
Diego recently learned to bark and he likes it. I can't say that it bothers us it is just new.
Diego practiced his newly acquired barking talent on a snake….this is good. He also barked at a skunk, which was not good. If it wasn't a snake then he found something foul and decomposing to roll over. Len said he could not smell it….I slept in the guest bedroom for two nights and left Len and Diego to the other side of the house. It wasn't hideous but it was notable. So before we could go to NY, Diego had to have a shower, shampoo, and a set!
I told Jeannie that the house was a disaster because of the remodeling….she said that would be ok….well, more on that in the next entry. We had to take out all the china, crystal, dainty dishes, baskets, decanters, lanterns, figurines, paintings, etc out of harm's way….We put it all in the living room, in my den, and in all kinds of cabinet drawers, armoires, etc. I know this. We own too much stuff
Scott and White Oncology is developing a class called Cancer 101. The idea is for all patients to take this 45 minute class right after the diagnosis but before the treatment. The charge nurse asked me if I would attend the preview and give feedback—also could I find a few more people who would have an opinion – so Penny and Joann both agreed to come. I think we gave them a lot of ideas and affirmations too.
I am hiring a professional clothes planner to clear out this mess of clothes I keep. I am especially keen on this idea. I am also very keen on getting my belly cut off.
Len and I went to our dance lesson after missing 2 weeks. We haven't practiced one time….I think our teacher was a little miffed. I don't know if we ever will practice unless we go out to some honky tonk. That's not a bad plan actually.
This week I trained another new volunteer….there was some concern because he is the retired director of a very big non-profit….but I think he is willing to be a menial worker rather than a big dog.
This is the very worst possible time to go on a trip and if it were not David's graduation, I think we would bail out. Collins assures us all will be well but I just can't imagine how Jeannie will cope with the remodeling. I can't think of it.
Maybe we will have a decent time since neither of us really want to go at this time. West Point just doesn't consult us about when they should plan graduation! Billy and Mary's divorce plans have cast a pall over everything….lots of talking that reeks of drama to me. I keep saying this is all about David but I don't know if B or M will be able to be civil to each other. I think my single role in this is to keep things upbeat. David insists that no other family comes up for graduation. So unlike Justin's graduation, it will just be Len and me, Mary, and Bill. I don't know if there will be any surprise family attendees. This is about David….if I say it enough maybe it will all work nicely. Mom will expect me to be vigilant. Hmmmm. Then there is David. He is very undemonstrative. So I haven't a clue what he thinks about anything. He is fond of Len but I really don't think he is too keen on me. Such is life. AND I am not being paranoid — even Len agrees and it is OK. Sometimes he reminds me so much of Daddy….one really odd duck. I think he is just David and that works too.
I tried on three 'formal' looking outfits, as Mom calls them. I sent photos to Edward, hair and dress aficionado and Jackie too. Edward had definite opinions. So I am going with velvet and lots of sparkly bracelets and NO LONG EARRINGS…this may be hard for me…but that velvet, I hope I don't roast…..Off to bed we leave at dawn.

A Prepper's Guide To Safe Drinking Water Storage
Water is a necessity for survival. In an emergency situation, your drinking water may be shut off without warning. Having an ample supply of filtered, clean water in your possession will assure that you have enough safe drinking water to last an extended period of time. Each person needs at least two quarts of water per day to stay hydrated. In addition to drinking water, fresh water must also be stored for cooking and hygiene needs. If the environment is warm, it's best to double the recommended two quarts per person. Children, nursing mothers, and individuals who are ill may require even more. Overall, store at least one gallon of water per person per day. There should be at least a two-week supply of drinking water properly stored in your home. Remember, water is the most important item in your emergency supply kit.
While a majority of public water systems in the United States comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act, some chemicals remain unregulated by the EPA. These contaminates found in tap water are deemed potentially harmful. Many water treatment facilities contribute to the problem by adding chemicals like chlorine to the water as part of the treatment process. Chlorine is used as a disinfectant, and while it effectively kills microorganisms, it can have toxic effects on the human body. Tap water can also contain traces of radioactive contaminants, pharmaceutical drugs, hexavalent chromium, heavy metals, and even arsenic. For your health and protection, it's crucial to purify the water you drink and cook with by using a filter that attaches to your faucet or water line. Boiling tap water can get rid of the bacteria, but only filtering removes harmful contaminants like chlorine byproducts and heavy metals like lead and aluminum. Fresh water is one of our most vital resources used for drinking, cooking, bathing, cleaning, and watering grass and plant life. In an emergency situation, you will want to have clean water from the tap, bottled water, or water from vending machines. Private well water should not be stored, as you cannot guarantee that it's free from microorganisms. To ensure that your water maintains freshness, proper water storage techniques must be used.
Clean water should be stored in cleaned and sanitized food-grade plastic containers. Food-grade plastic containers include any purchased glass or plastic containers that once held food or drinks. New plastic water containers can also be purchased for water storage purposes. Avoid using used milk jugs, as harmful bacteria can be harbored in dried milk. Whether the containers have been used or are new, they must be cleaned thoroughly before filling them with water. With clean hands, wash the inside and outside of the bottle with hot, soapy water and rinse with plain water. Sanitize the bottles by rinsing them out with a solution consisting of a ratio of a half-teaspoon of household bleach for every pint of water. Finally, rinse once more with plain water. Once cleaned and sanitized, fill the bottles with water. Your safe drinking water should be stored in a dry, cool area away from heat and direct sunlight. Water can also be frozen in plastic bottles for long periods of time. To ensure freshness, your supply of clean water should be replaced every six months if you are using tap water. According to the FDA, bottled water has an indefinite shelf life if it has been produced in accordance with regulations and if it remains unopened.
In the event of an emergency or natural disaster, proper water storage is necessary to keep you and your family healthy and hydrated. The amount of water that the human body loses through perspiration, urine, and water vapor from the lungs is approximately 2.5 liters each day. Fluids are needed by the body to make up for this water loss. As part of your emergency preparedness kit, be sure to store plenty of safe drinking water in prepared containers. Fresh water storage can be a life-saver in the event of a serious emergency. Take the time to clean, sanitize and store fresh water in your home and vehicle and be prepared for unexpected circumstances.

The National Energy Retail Law and the National Energy Retail Rules contain a range of measures designed to help consumers compare and make more informed choices about energy products and how they use energy. The Retail Law and Retail Rules has commenced in the ACT, Tasmania, South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland. Victoria is yet to commence the Retail Law and Retail Rules. Western Australia and the Northern Territory are not part of the National Electricity Market and will not be adopting this framework.
Energy Price Comparator website - Energy Made Easy
The AER is required to develop and operate an energy price comparison website. The website, Energy Made Easy, was launched on 1 July 2012.
Residential and small business customers in jurisdictions where the Retail Law and Retail Rules have commenced can use Energy Made Easy to compare their full range of generally available offers, including details such as GreenPower options, discounts and incentives, and key terms and conditions.
Energy retailers are required to provide information and data to the AER on their generally available offers for inclusion on the Energy Made Easy website. Retailers are required to provide information on their offers in accordance with the AER's Retail Pricing Information guidelines.
Electricity bill benchmarks for residential customers
The Retail Law and Rules also contain requirements for energy retailers to include information on the electricity bills of residential customers to enable them to compare their household electricity usage with that of households of a similar size in their local zone.
These are called electricity bill benchmarks and are designed to help customers make more informed decisions about how they use energy.
The electricity bill benchmarks are one of the measures delivered as part of the National Framework for Energy Efficiency (NFEE). During 2004, the Ministerial Council on Energy agreed on the implementation of the NFEE which provides a coordinated national approach for a range of energy efficiency measures.
Under the Retail Law and Rules, the AER has responsibility for the implementation and ongoing review of the electricity bill benchmarks; however ACIL Tasman, has developed the benchmarks. ACIL Tasman's December 2014 report, Guidance on electricity consumption benchmarks on residential customers' bills describes how the benchmarks were developed.
Energy Made Easy fulfils the AER's obligations to publish the electricity consumption benchmarks. By entering their postcode and information on household size, residential customers in all jurisdictions can find information on the average amount of electricity used by similar sized households in their area.
There is a requirement that household electricity bills also include the Energy Made Easy website details. This is to make sure that all customers can access the benchmarks relevant to their household by visiting Energy Made Easy.
Minimum disconnection amount
Under the Retail Rules, a retailer cannot disconnect a customer for non payment where the amount owing is less than an amount approved by the AER and the customer has agreed to repay the amount owing.
The AER has approved a minimum disconnection amount of $300. This amount applies separately to gas and electricity and in all jurisdictions adopting the Retail Law and Rules. For more information on the AER's consultation process on approving this amount, see Minimum disconnection amounts. The AER will review this amount again, once it has been in effect for 18-24 months.
Overcharging threshold
The Retail Rules set a threshold amount over which residential and small business customers may direct retailers to repay an amount overcharged (rather than crediting the amount to their account). The Retail Rules set the overcharge threshold at $50.
The Retail Rules require retailers to inform residential and small business customers if they become aware of any overcharging within 10 business days. If the amount overcharged is $50 or more, the retailer must repay the amount as directed by the customer (or credit it to their next bill if there is no direction from the customer). If the amount is less than $50 then the retailer must credit the amount to the next bill. In cases where the customer no longer has an account, the retailer must attempt to refund the amount to the customer within 10 business days.
The AER may determine a new overcharge threshold after consultation with stakeholders and must also publish the current overcharge threshold on its website.
Small compensation claims regime
The Retail Law includes a small compensation claims regime which participating jurisdictions can choose to apply in their state or territory. This enables residential and small business customers to make claims for compensation from distributors for property and other damage incurred in certain circumstances. Under the regime, customers do not have to establish fault, negligence or bad faith on the part of a distributor in order to receive compensation from the distributor.
To date, Victoria is the only jurisdiction planning to adopt the small compensation claims regime.
The Retail Law provides for the amounts that can be claimed by customers as well as the processes distributors must follow when assessing a claim and determining how much compensation must be paid. Jurisdictions who adopt the regime can set limits on the amount that can be claimed, and where they don't the AER must. The AER can only set these amounts after a consultation process. Jurisdictions can specify the kinds of claimable incidents and compensable matters for which a customer can make a claim under this regime.
The AER must also determine a repeated claims maximum number. A customer who makes a number of claims equal to or exceeding the repeated claims maximum number, within the period set by the AER, becomes a 'repeat claimant'.
When a 'repeat claimant' makes a claim and the distributor reasonably considers the claim forms part of an abuse of the small compensation claims regime, the distributor can pay the amount claimed, pay a lesser amount (which may be any amount at or above the minimum amount determined) or reject the claim.
Prepayment meter systems
Energy retailers may sell energy using a prepayment meter system only within jurisdictions where its use is permitted under a local instrument.
Prepayment meter systems allow customers to buy credit to put towards their energy account. This is stored on their meter and the customer pays for the energy they use as they use it. Credit is typically purchased from outlets, in a range of amounts, and is stored on a smart card. The credit is then transferred from the smart card to the prepayment meter, and the meter records how much credit the customer has left. The prepayment meter also stores some 'emergency credit', to enable customers to 'top-up' their prepayment meter before their credit runs out.
The amount of emergency credit is prescribed in the Retail Rules and must be at least equivalent to the average cost of three days of electricity or gas supply (as applicable). The AER is able to approve another amount from time to time.
For the purposes of calculating the amount of emergency credit, a retailer must provide the AER with a statement of its methodology for determining the average cost of energy supply when requested to do so by the AER. If the AER does not approve the methodology, the retailer must change it if required to do so by the AER.

Most people don't realize that the Bundaberg region is Australia's most valuable vegetable growing region. You can't miss the sugar cane fields as you drive through the region, but the yearly value of $200 million for that crop is dwarfed by the $500 million generated by the combined small crops. The rich volcanic soil and perfect climate contribute to the region being a big producer of fruit and vegetables including; tomatoes, strawberries, capsicum and macadamia nuts. The region produces around 90% of Australia's sweet potatoes and even has the nation's biggest chilli producer. The crops grown and packed here are found in supermarkets across the country. The coastal location also means there's great seafood to be had all year round.
Bundy flavours is a week long celebration of this produce and we went to a couple of events during the week. At the beginning of the week, we chilled out at a Father's Day picnic in the macadamia forests eating locally produced food including Kingaroy cheese, drinking wine and listening to some live music.
The week culminated with the Bundy Flavours festival in Alexandra Park near the Burnett river. Many local producers were represented and as a bonus it was free entry with lots of free samples available. Of course, we couldn't resist picking up a few bargains as well, and came away with plenty for our pantry and fridge. Particularly interesting were some of the more unusual delicacies on offer including locally grown capers, dried fruit jerky, and pickled and fermented foods such as sauerkraut. Of course we can't go past the inspiration for the title of this post, Bundy Bum Nuts.
The region is also famous for its drinks with Bundaberg Rum and Bundaberg Brewed Drinks (of ginger beer fame) having a big presence at the festival. [Interesting fact – Bundaberg Brewed drinks is one of the largest family owned soft drinks company in the world and is not formally connected to Bundy rum. The latter is owned by Diageo, a global drinks company whose brands include; Captain Morgan, Smirnoff, Baileys and Guinness.] One of the local newcomers to this sector is Bargara Brewery whose beers, including Thirsty Turtle and Crafty Canine, are getting a strong following locally and further afield. They're about to open up a brewery in the CBD where you can see the beer being made and sample some whilst eating gourmet pizza – we can't wait until it opens.
Alongside the produce for sale were some great cooking demonstrations with local chefs sharing the stage with TV celebrities such as Matt Golinksi and Alexander McLeod from Ready Steady Cook.
You can visit Bundaberg anytime of the year and taste the region's range of produce including fruit and vegetables, seafood and numerous beverages. You'll also be able to pay a trip to visitor centres at Bundy brewed drinks (The Bundy Barrel), Bundy Rum and soon to be opened, Bargara Brewery. However, if you're able to coincide a visit with Bundy Flavours festival, we'd definitely recommend it. Here's the supper platter we had after our visit – yum.

Due to the strategic location of Gwinnett County, the highway and roads are frequented by trucks that can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds, and with that, there has been a sharp rise in the number of trucks vs. other vehicle accidents. Of all multi-vehicle trucking accidents, 94% of the crash victims were of the other vehicle. However, trucks are usually owned by large commercial entities. And even though extensive federal regulations are placed on such trucks and truck drivers, most businesses, with the help of their fancy lawyers and insurance providers, try to trick the victim out of their due compensation. Trucking companies and their insurance providers arrive at the scene of the accident immediately to contact the victim's family and lure them into a settlement lower than what they may be entitled to. Insurance companies are particularly notorious for trying to lower the amount of compensation owed to the victim and their family.Wrongful Death Attorney in Gwinnett, Georgia
Wrongful death is the tragic loss of life caused by a third party's negligence or recklessness.

At Scholle Law, we have represented hundreds of wrongful death cases and understand the plight and distress faced by the victim's family. If someone you know has died due to another person's negligence, contact us today for a free consultation with a Scholle Law attorney.
