Body Sport Universal Wrist or Ankle Support Review
The Body Sport Universal Wrist or Ankle Support is a versatile joint support that can be used to brace up and stabilize the joints on any of a person's extremities.
Product Features
This orthopedic support device includes the following features:
• The support is constructed of a pair of elasticized bands that are stitched together along the full length. The wearer can choose which stitches to cut in order to provide a hole through which to insert a thumb or to let the heel of a foot protrude between the two bands.
• The wearer dons the brace by fastening the closures on each band after positioning one band under the arch of the foot and the other around the ankle proper, or (in the case of the wrist) wrapping one band around the palm of the hand and the other around the wrist itself. In the former case, the heel will stick between the two bands where the wearer removes stitches, and in the latter case the thumb will have room by following a similar plan.
What Buyers Like About the Product
Buyers enjoy these features of the orthopedic support:
• The support device allows for a great deal of flexibility and movement of the wrist or ankle, while still providing the basic level of support that is needed to prevent further injury or soft tissue damage to the injured joint. It strikes a happy medium between comfort and utility, allowing the wearer to make maximum use of the joint in question without worrying about additional damage.
• Because this small fabric wrap is no thicker than a sock, it can be worn easily inside a shoe when the user needs ankle support. This wrap can be used with men's dress shoes or even ladies' pumps, or any type of street shoe or athletic shoe.
• The support can be worn directly against the skin beneath socks or hosiery, or can even be fastened over an absorbent sock to help with wicking away moisture and perspiration.
• This is one of the few support devices that can easily be worn with bare feet or sandals. For summer time use when a person needs support, this support can be used barefoot, for beach or pool wear. The toes are free as well, enabling the wearer to don sandals.
What Buyers Don't Like About the Product
This design does not provide as sturdy a form of support as some others, so it may not be the support of choice for a person who is in need of more robust stabilization. However, it is ideal for a light to intermediate level of support when a person is well along in the healing process or not suffering from a severe traumatic injury.
The Body Sport Universal Wrist or Ankle Support is hands down (or wrists and ankles down, as the case may be) the least expensive form of support that a person can find for use on wrists and ankles.

Garbage time, also known as "junk time", is a term used to refer to the period at the end of a timed sporting event that has become a blowout when the outcome of the game has already been decided, and the coaches of one or both teams will decide to replace their best players with substitutes.[1] This serves to give those substitutes playing time experience in an actual game situation, as well as to protect the best players from the possibility of injury.[2]
Garbage time owes its name to the fact that that period in a game is frequently marked by a significant drop in the quality of game play. This occurs for two primary reasons. First, the players involved during that time are generally less experienced, having not played nearly as often as the starting players. And second, the fact that seldom-used substitutes usually desire more future playing time means that when those players do play, they are often more concerned with making an individual impression than with executing team play at its best; this is especially true during garbage time because at that point, the matter of which team will win has already been decided anyway.[3]
There are so-called "unwritten rules" for garbage time which indicate that the leading team should neither continue to play its starting players, devote unnecessary effort toward increasing the size of its lead, nor attempt particularly difficult and spectacular plays.[4] Doing so is interpreted as an unsportsmanlike attempt to embarrass or humiliate the trailing team, and in some cases may also be seen as retaliation, either against the opponent or the critics of the team in general (see running up the score for a more detailed explanation of this type of behavior). However, sometimes a team may have a legitimate motivation for running up the score, such when margin of victory is a factor in rankings, as it was for many years in the Bowl Championship Series.
During garbage time, the trailing team can sometimes rack up an unusually high tally of statistics, leading the respective box score to be misleading with respect to their actual game performance. For instance, in American football, if the losing team is behind by several touchdowns, the offense may resort entirely to the passing game in a futile effort to catch up. At the same time, the leading team (on defense, with inferior players) may allow them to complete plays (which benefits them by running out the clock). This may lead the statistics to indicate a high amount of passing yards for the losing squad, which would suggest the team performed better than in reality. In general, although not always the case, it is not unusual for the losing team to have more passing attempts/yards than the winning team.
Particularly at the youth level, garbage time is eliminated by the use of a mercy rule, which automatically ends a game when the margin of winning has crossed a point that is commonly believed to be insurmountable.
The phrase garbage time is one of a number of commonly used basketball terms, each of which is thought to have either been coined by broadcaster Chick Hearn, or first given widespread exposure through Hearn's adoption of it for use during his broadcasts.[5]

Me and my sister visited the Gino D'acampo restaurant in Leeds at the weekend the staff were very friendly and more than happy to get me a gluten free menu. The menu was set out lovely, they could offer starters, pastas, main courses and desserts gluten free.
I ordered the penne bolognaise it was delicious the pasta was cooked thoroughly and the sauce was both tomato and creamy it was a lovely mix! We had a few glasses of prosecco from the prosecco bar too, there was a lot of choice.
The staff seemed very aware about gluten intolerances and reassured me my meal was gluten free. The clearly labelled separate gluten free menu also put me at ease from the beginning. They added a compulsory service charge of 10% of the bill which I personally don't like but it was average priced for the food as we had the gluten free pasta, a pizza and 3 glasses of prosecco and it came to £46.75.
Overall rating- 4/5

Mr Foulkes has sent through a report from the first three days of the French water sports trip:
The journey was long and a bit stuffy but we finally got here at 9am. After a quick change and breakfast it was straight into buoyancy aids and helmets, canoe drill and then down to the river.
Everyone completed 4.5km on the river. Paddling was hard but people are starting to get the hang of it.
Food is great and there is loads for the students to do including the glorious outdoor pool. Temperature was 35⁰C today but we also had some lovely cooling rain.
On day 2 and 3 we have paddled over 16km on the river Ardeche. It has been hard work, everyone has got very wet but had loads of fun. We have navigated rapids, took on the slip and slide challenge and trekked out of the gorge. See the photos for some highlights!
There has been plenty of food at every stage with sumptuous buffets including the Subway style lunch served on an upturned boat!
More updates to follow at the end of the canoe descent later today.

Hampden-Sydney (2-1, 0-0 ODAC)
at Roanoke (2-2, 0-0 ODAC)
November 25, 2018 • 4:30 pm
Salem, VA • Cregger Center
Game Notes (PDF) | Live Stats | Video | Audio
Tigers Open ODAC Play at Preseason Favorite Roanoke
The two of the most historic and winningest teams in ODAC history will open ODAC play against each other on Sunday. Each team has won the ODAC Championship 10 times since the ODAC's inception for the 1976-77 season. No other ODAC team has won more than six league titles and the rest of the league has combined for 22 championships.
Hampden-Sydney is 2-4 vs. the Maroons over the last four seasons with the last win coming on January 13, 2016, at the Cregger Center. The Tigers topped the 20th ranked Maroons in a 100-92 shootout.
About Hampden-Sydney
The Tigers, despite being without the services of Malik Crute thus far, are off to a 2-1 start with wins at Averett and home against Gallaudet, and the Tigers won on Wednesday without second-leading scorer Chaise Johnson.
With no 20+ point a game type scorer, H-SC is scoring by committee this year with six players averaging between 13.7 and 8.3 points an outing while seven have tallied at least 10 points in a single game thus far. With the goal of relying on the three pointer for a heavy portion of the offense, the Tiger sharpshooters came into form on Wednesday after struggling as a whole in the first two games. H-SC starting out the contest vs. Gallaudet 8-for-9 from three and finished the game shooting 39.4% beyond the arc, making 13-of-33 attempts.
On the other side of the court, H-SC surrendered fewer than 65 points to two of its first three opponents while limiting the opposition to only 30.0% from three point range and forcing 15.3 turnovers. Additionally, teams are making only 13 free throws a game against the Tigers and they have only been in the double bonus twice in six halves.
Looking at Roanoke
Roanoke was picked to win the league in the ODAC Preseason Poll while center Josh Freund was tabbed a Preseason Fourth-Team All-American by D3hoops.com after being named ODAC Player of the Year last year.
The Maroons are off to a roller coaster start at 2-2, winning the first and third games while dropping the second and fourth.
They have scored 90 and 88 points in their two wins, shooting 54.5% overall and 45.5% from three on 10.0 makes from long range. Additionally, they have gone 38-47 on the foul line in their two victories with 14.0 steals. Meanwhile, the offense has faltered in the two losses, posting just 64 and 54 points. They have shot 39.0% overall and just 24.5% on 13 makes from three range while going 13-22 on the foul line in the two losses. They also have just 7.5 steals.
Last Time Out for the Tigers
Hampden-Sydney Basketball got Thanksgiving off to a positive start as they held off a big second-half rally by the Gallaudet University Bison to win 73-63 on Wednesday.
The Tigers came out the gates white-hot from the field and especially beyond the arc. Drew Scott accounted for nine of the first 11 Tiger points as he went 3-3 from beyond to arc as H-SC led 11-5 at 16:18. The Tigers continued to pour it on from there as Kevin Quinn connected on three straight triples to push the advantage to 20-6 at 13:43 to force a Bison timeout.
The timeout didn't do much to curtail the Tiger onslaught as they pushed the lead to a whopping 20 points, 28-8, just 10 minutes into the contest. H-SC would lead by 25, 40-15, at 6:21 but went cold from the field the rest of the half, scoring only seven points but limited Gallaudet to seven as well to lead 47-22 at halftime.
Following a Justin Reid layup that put H-SC up 27, 51-24, two minutes into the second half, but over the next 11 minutes, the Tigers went bitterly cold shooting as they were outscored 25-4 to see the lead trimmed down to just six at 55-49 with 7:38 to play. Hampden-Sydney scored the next four points, but the Bison drained two consecutive three pointers to find themselves down just 59-55 at 3:43. Leading by five, 62-57, at the 3:11 mark, the Tigers went to work on both ends of the court, using a 9-2 run to put the game out of reach with a 12-point advantage with only 24 seconds left in the contest.
Warren Zager stuffed the box score with 11 points, five rebounds, four assists, and two steals. Drew Scott scored a team-high 14 points as he shot 4-10 from three point range. Brendan McHale reeled in a team-high nine rebounds and also handed out five assists. Justin Reid contributed 12 points and four rebounds. Kevin Quinn chipped in with 10 points, three boards, and two steals. Jake Furrow chimed in with 10 points, four assists, and three steals.
Last Time They Met
Hampden-Sydney ended the regular season with a 76-57 loss to Roanoke College on February 17, 2018.
The action was back and forth in the first half as both squads struggled to convert shots with each shooting under 40%. Down 16-15, H-SC scored eight straight to go ahead 23-16 with 4:03 left in the first half. The Maroons would come back to tie the game with 42 seconds to play in the first, but a Kevin Quinn triple gave the Tigers a 28-25 lead at intermission.
H-SC maintained their lead three minutes in at 32-30, but Roanoke caught fire in the second half, going up five just two minutes later. RC extended the run to the tune of a 23-7 spurt to go ahead 53-39 at the 11:11 mark.
The Tigers gradually chipped away at the deficit and H-SC found themselves down just nine, 59-50, with 6:50 left on the clock. Roanoke would go on to score eight of the next nine and lead by at least 12 the rest of the way
Malik Crute led H-SC with 16 points, six assists, five rebounds, and two steals
Kevin Quinn chipped in 14 points off the bench. Guilherme Guimaraes posted a season-high 12 points to go with four rebounds and three assists.

So, this bird is majestic and absolutely amazing. I have to say though, I am a bit disappointed. This is one of the pair of eagles in captivity at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. It does not make her any less beautiful but, I was hoping to see her wild cousins that frequent the area.
We had heard that the wild eagles were in the area and seen other photographers images so, Joyce and I made the trip over yesterday. Well, it was a very short trip as the Nature Center is only 15 minutes or so from my house. Anyway, it was a beautiful day with the temperature around 72° so how could it be bad?
We met up with a fellow photographer who comes to the center all the time. He had seen one of the wild eagles just a short time before we met up with him. That one had gone off to hunt along the river and unfortunately, didn't return while we were there. At least now I know where to look for them so, maybe we'll get lucky next time!

How often I write or speak of our 'parish family'. This expression gives me pause to consider others' claims to the reality for 'family'. For example;
Perhaps, because of the above considerations, on February 2, Pope Francis wrote;
"Dear families . . . in our day the Church is called to proclaim the Gospel by confronting the new and urgent pastoral needs facing the family . . . In (this) context, there will also be the World Meeting of Families due to take place in Philadelphia in September 2015. May we all, then, pray together so that through these events the Church will undertake a true journey of discernment and adopt the necessary pastoral means to help families face their present challenges with the light and strength that comes from the Gospel . . . Dear families, your prayers (for families) will be a precious treasure which enriches the Church. I thank you, and I ask you to pray also for me, so that I may serve the People of God in truth and in love. May the protection of the Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph always accompany all of you and help you to walk untied in love and in caring for one another."
On this Feast of the Holy Family, I offer you the prayer our Holy Father has given us:

Delightful first floor apartment next to superb pool with west facing terrace and golf views. A real home from home with lots of extras to make your holiday special.
Share this holiday home
Apartment overview - owner's description
If you are looking for some luxury and real peace and quiet for a truly relaxing holiday and some of the best sunsets in the area, then you will not be disappointed with your stay here.
Accommodating 4 people very comfortably, this well furnished apartment is the ideal base for enjoying the fabulous golf courses in the area including the Polaris World courses. Non golfers will enjoy the quite location, sports facilities nearby and the lovely shared pool.
The apartment is equipped with all the latest electronics including an iPod docking station with top quality speakers, satellite, TV with built in DVD player and FREE wireless internet access which reaches to the pool!
The sliding patio doors lead from the lounge onto a large covered terrace which has wonderful views of the 14th hole, the orange groves, and the mountains beyond. The terrace is west facing and captures the afternoon and evening sun. It's the perfect place to eat or relax with a drink and enjoy the spectacular sunsets for which this region is renowned.
You'll be impressed with the fully equipped kitchen. There is a dishwasher, washing machine, large fridge freezer, microwave oven, ceramic hob and electric oven and grill with extractor fan. There is also a toaster, kettle, coffee maker, electric juice press and plenty of crockery, cutlery and pots and pansp".
The bathroom offers a bath with shower over, wash-handbasin, toilet and bidet. The gas combi-boiler ensures instant, unlimited hot water. Towels are provided.
Both bedrooms each have a Juliet balcony so you can enjoy the morning sun, and they each have built-in wardrobes with plenty of storage. You'll also find a hair dryer and straighteners. The bedrooms can be configured to either provide comfortable twin 3ft singles in each room or super king doubles.
There is a fantastic communal pool right next to the apartment block and you can enjoy tempting views of it from the balcony terrace. We provide 4 sun beds, a parasol (a must in the summer,) and beach towels.
Guests at our apartment can also use any of the other beautiful pools dotted around the resort - some have separate children's pools and some have jacuzzis. There are also several children's play areas one of which is close to the apartment. There is an outdoor gym, 2 tennis hard courts, 2 padel tennis courts, 2 boules pitches and a multi-sports area just a stone's throw from the apartment. You'll find a range of sports equipment (tennis racquets and balls etc) in a locker in the underground garage.
You can park in your designated bay in the underground car park and access the lift from here which takes you right to the apartment door.
If have a large family or group of friends, we have another apartment just 1 floor above in the same block (property ref 62587).
Hacienda Riquelme is a well established and delightful resort with tree lined roads and amazing flower beds and shrubs. It's a great place for either a family holiday or a relaxing break. This gated community provides a safe and attractive environment for your holiday. The resort centre is built around the original Hacienda and now houses the bar and restaurant, supermarket and Pro Shop. In the high season, the magnificent courtyard opens up to provide an additional al-fresco Italian restaurant serving homemade pastas and delicious Pizzas. You can even order them to take away. In addition, in July and August the Paloma Bar which is adjacent to the 9th green, offers a range of cocktails and is a wonderful place to unwind.
The 18 hole championship Jack Nicklaus golf course is a wonderful test of golf. However, despite the fantastic golf course and resulting views from the apartment, most people come here for the peace and tranquillity the resort offers out of season, or the fantastic weather and pools in high season. There is something here for everyone as well as many beautiful unspoilt beaches and lots of places to explore including the ancient cities of Murcia and Cartagena, with the recently discovered Roman amphitheatre.
If you enjoy your wine, the region of Jumilla and Yecla are just a little further on from Murcia. You can visit the Bodegas and enjoy their wares and some even offer lunch.
There's lots of choice of what to do in the Costa Calida - and even a choice of which Sea to go to! You can choose between the Mediterranean Sea, & the lesser known Mar Menor (little sea). The Med beaches include some fabulous white sand walks that the locals favour, while the Mar Menor is an inland sea/salt water lake separated from the Mediterranean by La Manga (the sleeve) del Mar Menor; otherwise known as the La Manga strip.
It is favoured amongst families with small children due to its warm, shallow & salty waters (salt makes you float more easily). The area is all extremely family friendly and there are many little bars and cafes to help the holiday experience!
Some of our favourite local places: Cartagena (there are some idyllic hidden beaches with restaurants for a memorable lunch or two); Playa Honda, where the beaches are quiet, safe and have wonderful sand; San Pedro; San Javier (jump on the boat across the Mar Menor to La Manga for lunch and a swim) and even the beaches at Los Alcazares can be wonderful and enjoy the a long lazy promenade on the boardwalk. Try Restaurant La Encarnacion and be sure to have a look at its amazing courtyard. You can hire bicycles, water sport equipment and go diving or sea fishing.
For golfers there are plenty of other courses nearby to enjoy, you'll be spoilt for choice.
This apartment has 10 verified reviews.
10 out of 10 people recommend staying here
We have just returned following 2 weeks of sunshine at this super apartment and have had a brilliant time. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and caters for all needs. The position of it on the site is fabulous and the resort is so quiet and safe. The very large swimming pool is very close and enticing and the perfect way to cool off on a hot summers day. We used the onsite shop and restaurant several times, together with the local town shops and eateries, (can recommend the Indian takeaway!)
The ideally situated location within the Murcia region provides access to days out at the beaches, the water park, visits to the large markets and historic towns.
Would we come back again - you bet, we do hope to return.
Fantastic apartment
Absolutely first class will recommend to everyone
We thought the property was amazing! We would deffinatly stay there again and would recommend to friends.
It was a lovely stay and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Many Thanks
Tamsin and Luke
Excellent and well equiped apartment on a well appointed site.
The additional items provided by the owner added that special touch to the apartmnet making our stay more relaxing and enjoyable.
Underground parking was a benifit in the heat.
Not being golfers we cannot comment on the course but those we met who had used it said it was of a very high standard.
The only downside to our stay was the 3 day wait over the weekend for the boiler to be repaird, as there was no maintenence available on the site.
Beautiful, very well appointed apartment in very peaceful location. Terrace has sunshine late afternoon-evening to witness glorious sunsets behind the distant hills. Relax, unwind, enjoy.

I was recently at a meet up in Boston (thanks @whitni!) and someone asked me what I want to be when I grow up. I answered "Christina Harlow"
(this true story is also recounted in this tweet:
But the real truth is actually more complicated than that, I mean it was a lib-tech thing — so I went with a brilliant lib-tech person.
Time is so dang short, and we can only portion it out so far before we run out of it entirely. I struggle a lot with figuring out where to focus my limited amount. There are two big pieces of 'librarianship' that call to me, each of which gets a piece of my attention, but neither of which has it fully:
Being a 'Cataloger'
Being a 'Metadata' person
These are certainly related, and perhaps my terms are poorly chosen so I'll explain.
I want to be a whiz cataloger. I want to be a person who knows RDA back to front, can quote chapter and verse to defend my points, and roll out 'well while that's allowed under 126.96.36.199.5, the LC-PCC-PS says, 'something something" I want to be so familiar with the SHM, and the CSM that I never make a rookie mistake again. I want to be deep into NACO/SACO work and instinctively know if a corporate body should be entered directly, and always create great proposals. I want to have the DCMZ1 under my belt. I want to have read all those cat & class books and written up great reviews of and analyses of them. I want to be able to agitate for change while better understanding the systems themselves that I'm agitating.
It means understanding the ongoing discussions (and issues) with the FRBR-LRM, and participating in same.
I want to know how to catalog things well outside my daily scope. I want to understand map cataloging, and music cataloging and cultural objects.
The latter is different. Its a desire to know more about how people are using data. It's triple stores and SPARQL, Hydra and Fedora and Islandora, turtle, JSON, RDF, and n-triples. I don't know what half of those even are (or which ones are capitalized…), but I fear that the farther behind I get on how to be a data-person the less employable I'll be. I recently took a meeting with folks from Zepheira and Atlas and felt utterly out of the loop with what they're proposing let alone how they're implementing it. And that leads me to the second piece. Code codey, code code code.
When you have a cool use for data, toss it up on the web! Learn HTML and CSS and Python and Ruby (occasionally this thing is on rails) and php and SQL and javascript and Java (which isn't the same! apparently!). What's a jekyll and why does it, what's the word: gem?
This isn't a pity-party-post. I'm mostly pretty happy with my chugging along, learning things as I go — and for the most part my chugging is on the former side. But it's not a true divide that exists, or has to exist. Lots of people do both things, and understand both things.
I also understand that neither of these are true achievable goals, everybody doesn't know something, no one knows everything etc. etc. I need to find my balance of do-able, and satisfying. Accept the things I do not know, learn what I can in the time I have, and still leave time for doing non-library things.

Bilgiusta; has been published for 4 years, and nearly all of the original content that was created with the input of a resource site. Gives weight to a personal web log that share a lot of information from the original article on our site under various categories you can access hundreds.
Wanting to share his writings with a wide audience and a platform for the people who are in search of quality, experience and knowledge in a unique manner through the pages I bilgiusta they present themselves. Bilgiustam.com at least 5,000 unique visitors daily, offering the author the opportunity to reach a wide audience of Turkish internet is one of the mechanisms of effective channels.
"Bilgiusta writing system" thanks to the system under the name of we have received for publication, written and published a brief entitled to be taken in the evaluation process, in the case of the person's control panel are reflected in the amount of gain. In terms of comfortable use and a detailed structure of this system, which is calculated in a flexible manner thanks to the full value of the article, The author is reflected in the account of the person. If you wish to retrieve information about the assessment portion, you can examine the functioning of the system. In addition, earnings for the conditions of the conditions of Use, You can check our page.
For detailed description of the whole system: Bilgiustam.doc we recommend you to download the file.
Firstly, we should note that a fixed price is not on the posts. But Getting Started with the assessment that we've set base prices according to the length of the article are available. Accordingly, the short articles: 0,80£, the middle writings: 1,40 TL , long articles: 2,40 TL. This low coefficient is "1" The minimum value that applies to.
To put it simply; the scoring as a result of the overall value of the post once it is created, your article is completely original and contains useful information; the editor by changing the coefficients of the baseline coefficient is normally 1 special person to gain the amount of raises. Directly by participating in this multiplication coefficient, for example, a "5" to a value of the type of earnings five-fold.
Little statistical information: so far, writing system, written under the post on 400 for only 10% coefficient of much of Part 1 was used. And 2 the coefficients on all of the articles they have to gain by remaining. So far, the beginning of the summer that we gave the highest price, TL has been 12.86.
Basic system need to highlight a few points:
As mentioned above the writing,, short, medium, long are considered as three main parts, but in practice this is only intended as a reference to begin evaluating. The length of the post editor, not by the number of words or lines with a different technique depends on the person the subject of the review. We shouldn't a description of this technique, but the authors of their own sentences with simple and smooth style you are looking to achieve the highest gain in the Qur'an, quoting most of the people written from right to left will allow you to gain a minimum of editing by the way, and often will face the risk of being taken in the publication of his writings. Here, our main goal is to give full value to the posts, which is why we are being very flexible in assessing. After all, one-page simple and beautiful that makes the original post, the front page only gives information that according to a study, you can save much more. So to recap, the most important criterion in the essay how useful is that really the system we use.
If you want to work with us to create content on behalf of the Turkish with us, you will be pleased to see.
Note: from other sites, copy + paste and add if there are those who desire to gain in the form of the subject, please do not get tired in vain. Both you and us not to waste our time. Wanting to share their own knowledge with our people, and we need people who are sincere in this business. Best regards...

General Liability Insurance for Small Business
General liability insurance for small business is not something one can afford to do without. Yet for an owner who is dealing with such a small enterprise, the need for general liability insurance may seem like something they can skimp on or get around to later on. The truth is, by the very nature of the size of a small business, it is much more vulnerable than a similar company of a larger stature.
A larger enterprise can absorb more unexpected costs mostly because of its size and makeup. A smaller company, whether set up as a sole-proprietorship or an actual corporation, has more risks attached to it. Especially when liabilities facing that business are seriously considered.
Still, a small company owner may have concerns regarding general liability insurance for small business. What if the costs for something that just may never happen are too high? A smaller company has to be especially careful of overhead expenses and focus on keeping them conservative so as to maximize their earnings.
Yet one small injury, fire or other damage to property can put a smaller company in line for going right out of business. Maybe the initial concerns over costs for general liability coverage can be understood from an emotional standpoint. However, from a strictly business perspective, general liability insurance for small business is not something any smaller outfit can risk doing without.
Beginning the Liability Insurance Hunt
Although concerns over costs may be holding an owner at bay, there may also be concerns about getting the proper business general liability insurance suited to the business in question. This is where getting an array general liability insurance quotes from multiple providers is invaluable. When it is available for no fee all in one place by simply filling out a form like the one here, then there really is no excuse for not getting the hunt underway right now.
The best thing about being able to fill out a form with basic information on your small business insurance needs is you do not need to know exactly where to start. You do not need to know specifically what additional general liability insurance for small business coverage you may or may not need. You can start out with a broad, general search which in return will provide you with various provider names, contact information and most importantly, their rates.
You can see nearly in an instant who is offering what coverage and at what price. Along with that, because your inquiry will result in so many responses from so many different providers you can have peace of mind knowing you have done a pretty extensive search, too. Next you can begin reviewing all your offers and start on the next step.
Choosing a Small Business Insurance Provider
The ease of receiving your quote for general liability insurance for small business coverage has made the first step a real time-saver. Now, all you need to do is choose your provider. That is easy too. You have all the information you need to compare one quote to the next. When you have picked the best quote or two for your small company's general liability coverage you can take time to get more information.
The providers you have decided to choose from can answer any questions you have. Maybe you wonder if a blanket policy, which is what general liability insurance can also be considered as being, is enough. Certainly it will cover your company's basic needs. Now that you have a means to reaching out to various providers to ask questions, you have the ability to find out more.
Perhaps your general liability insurance for small business coverage can be supplemented by additional coverage tailored to the needs of your specific line of work. All the providers who respond to your requests for coverage have the answers you need in this respect. Whether you need worker's compensation coverage or automobile coverage for a company that offers delivery service, or whether you need your consulting work protected, there are many choices for individualized coverage for you.
An additional benefit of getting your general liability insurance for small business coverage here is that you can find that provider who is specialized in your area of work. You can be assured that they will be able to provide you with the most complete information to make an educated decision regarding your ultimate general liability insurance for small business coverage.
In one simple, cohesive search you have been provided the most information in the shortest amount of time to get the general liability insurance for small business your company is going to rely on. When you can see how simple obtaining such a wealth of information can be, you can know your final choice for coverage has been a sound one.

Sarah J, Chicago IL

I had the great pleasure of interviewing Gennifer Albin – Super-Mom, writer extraordinaire and fellow Apocalypsie – about her thrilling debut novel, CREWEL.
Congratulations on your amazing book deal for Crewel! Can you tell us about the story?
Thanks! Crewel centers around sixteen year-old Adelice Lewys, a young woman who has the ability to weave the fabric of existence. But unlike most girls her age, she isn't interested in having a life of power and privilege, so she tries to run and sets in motion a life-changing chain of events that thrusts her into the inner circles of power and challenges her to decide who she wants to become. And there's boys. And kissing.
Your journey to publication is a truly inspiring story. Can you give us a summary of the events leading up to signing the three-book deal?
I started to write a book last summer and abandoned it when the prologue for Crewel popped into my head. I wrote it down, emailed it to a friend, and told my husband that I thought I'd found the "one." Then two days later I fried my laptop with a whole glass of water and gave up on the book. When November rolled around I heard about NaNoWriMo, I thought I'd give it a try, so I went to the library for three hours a night with my flash drive and worked on public computers. By the end of the month I had my first draft. I reworked it several times and was ready to query at the end of April. I decided to attend a WriteOnCon live query workshop to get feedback before I sent out my materials. The agent liked it, asked for more, and offered representation within the week. By the next week, I had seven offers of rep, including one from Mollie Glick at Foundry Literary+Media. I signed with Mollie and we did a couple weeks of revisions, went on submission Memorial Day weekend, and then to auction the following Thursday. Five houses bid, I barely slept, and then FSG came in with an amazing offer and beautiful marketing plan and won my heart and the book. It was a pretty incredible 5 weeks!
You won the pitch contest at Pitchapalooza. What makes a good pitch?
I think an in-person pitch needs a combination of plot, flavor, and poise. You need to be able to convey a high-tension, compelling plot that has an original feel, or flavor, in under a minute with as much stage presence, if you will, as possible. Also live pitches are a great place to use comps (or comparative titles) like Ender's Game for girls or Frankenstein meets Gossip Girl.
What are your tips for writing an attention grabbing query letter?
Write a basic, standard query first and then play around with it. There are no rules for a query other than it should make the agent want to read the book. Don't get all gimmicky or cutesy – it's a turn-off, but don't feel committed to following some form letter because a website tells you it's the "right" way. As long as you are professional and you include the necessary information, you can play around with the synopsis of your story. Also try to stick to the first 30-50 pages of story rather than trying to condense your whole novel into two paragraphs. Your beginning is where you hook your reader, use it to hook an agent.
Can you tell us a little more about the sequels to Crewel?
Wouldn't you like to know. Actually, I am ridiculously secretive about storylines. My poor husband can't even read my synopsis for book two, because I don't want to spoil anything. I can say the stakes get higher, the romance gets steamier, and no one is quite what they seemed to be!
If you were a Spinster, would you use your powers for good or evil?
That's hard, because Spinsters can do some pretty amazing things, but since I get so bent out of shape over the injustices of the world, I'd have to say good. But maybe I'd be wicked occasionally.
What was the inspiration behind Crewel?
I've always been fascinated by the painting Embroidering the Earth's Mantle by Remedios Varo, which shows a group of girls embroidering the reality of Earth. I started playing with that idea and the idea of the fabric of life and created a world where women could actually do that.
What's your top tip for all aspiring authors?
Stop feeling guilty for writing. It seems like everyone thinks writing is selfish because it takes time away from work or family or friends or housework. Yes, it may take some time to reprioritize your life but writing is about self-fulfillment first, and that's okay!

This past weekend, I finally sat down to watch Frontline's recent, two-part report on the lead-up to and the conduct of the war in Iraq. Despite Frontline's well-earned reputation for being left-leaning, the report itself was very well done and comprehensive, including interviews with almost every single person of note both within and without the Bush Administration. The interplay between the Administration heavyweights is enthralling, and the documentary does a great job of providing the contextual background to each person's strongly-held views. Even realizing the documentary has a political agenda, any viewer (including one as avowedly conservative as myself) can learn a lot from this report.
I found Part I, which covers the period of time from 9/11, through the CIA's war in Afghanistan, to the beginning of the fighting in Iraq, to be the most enlightening. It is fascinating to watch how the whole of the U.S. foreign policy apparatus was drastically and immediately changed by 9/11, from being perennially cemented in a defensive posture, to a proactive, "kick a[$$]" footing.
Part I also delves into the flawed intelligence leading up to the war in Iraq, but curiously fails to include the intelligence reports that actually did turn out to be accurate, as recently published by the Institute for Defense Analyses after reviewing some 600,000 Pentagon documents.
Part II delves into all the different players and chapters of the Iraq war, giving noticeably short shrift to the recent success of the "surge." However, it is a very thorough recounting of the ebbs and flows in the Iraq War and provides background information on many familiar events of which I was unaware. Recommended viewing all around.
I thought the most intriguing interviews were those in Part I of the CIA guys, including Cofer Black (who served as director of the Central Intelligence Agency's Counterterrorism Center from 1999 to 2002), Gary Berntsen (a CIA field officer who was awarded the Distinguished Intelligence Medal and the Intelligence Star for commanding a team of CIA and special forces during the war in Afghanistan in 2001), Michael Scheuer (chief of the CIA's Bin Laden Desk from 1995 to 1999 and headed an internal CIA investigation into the allegations of a link between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda), and Gary Schroen (CIA operator who was chosen soon after 9/11 to lead the first trip into northern Afghanistan to connect with leaders of the Northern Alliance, offer money, equipment and political support), who detail how the CIA went immediately into Afghanistan after 9/11 and began to bring the fight to the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
"You[, (Black),] have a personal involvement with Al Qaeda and [Osama] bin Laden. The way the story goes, he tried to kill you …. Tell me a little bit of that story."
They thought I was the target; actually, I was the hunter, and we turned it on them (snaps fingers) like that. And when they had their chance, they ran home to Mama.
Black, on his immediate thoughts after learning of the 9/11 attacks that morning:
We are now in a situation where we'll no longer be like the junkyard dog staked to the ground, … and that our capabilities were going to be unleashed and realized.
Schroen, on the orders he received from Black on September 13, 2001:
He basically said to me: "I want to make it clear what your real job is. All these other things — linking up with the Northern Alliance, preparing the battlefield, helping the special forces get in or whatever happens — is fine. But once the Taliban are broken, your job is to find bin Laden, kill him and bring his head back on ice."
Scheuer, quoting Black's directives regarding Al Qaeda:
"We're going to put their heads on pikes. And we want flies crossing–crawling across their dead eyes."
Berntsen, describing the orders he received from Black around September 15, 2001:
One-third of your men will die. Be prepared for that. I accept it; you need to accept it and proceed aggressively. I want you killing the enemy in 48 hours.
Schroen, recounting Black's summary of the strategy against Al Qaeda:
[T]he gloves are off.
Black, on implementing the war plan against Al Qaeda:
We really took momentum. And George Tenet said OK, take the plan and have it ready by tomorrow. We spent years working on this stuff, so when everybody else is looking for their maps on Afghanistan, we're ready to rock; we're ready to roll ….
Black, on the CIA's performance in Afghanistan:
[W]e'd like the survivors of 9/11 to know that those of us in the business consider it the CIA's finest hour. We went in to kick a[$$], and we did that.
Black, on 20/20 hindsight:
Well, I would like to put this into perspective for you. … It always gives me pause when I think about the fact that the 9/11 Commission hired twice as much staff … and were allocated twice as much money than I was provided to fight Al Qaeda worldwide on an annual basis.
Thx to Frontline

Domestic steel pipe producers, including a company based in Export, won a small victory on Monday when a government agency said it will continue its investigation of foreign steel importers.
The U.S. International Trade Commission said there is sufficient evidence to suggest that U.S.-based producers are being hurt by the import practices of six countries: Canada, China, Greece, India, South Korea and Turkey.
Producers from those countries are accused of "dumping" large-diameter welded pipe into the United States — that is, selling the product at less than its fair value. Such practices can hurt domestic producers by putting them at a competitive disadvantage, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said in February.
The agency's finding means that the U.S. Commerce Department can continue itsantidumping and countervailing duty investigations of the six countries. The investigations will determine if the pipe is being dumped and if the companies are receiving unfair subsidies from foreign governments.
The investigations were launched after six domestic producers, including Dura-Bond Industries in Export, filed petitions with the ITC in January. A preliminary hearing was held in February.
Dura-Bond makes and coats large-diameter steel pipe mostly for use by the oil and gas industry at facilities in Export, Duquesne, McKeesport and Steelton.
The ITC finding came just days after President Trump announced his intention to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports – 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum.
The new policy was pursuant to a finding by the Commerce Department that a glut of cheap imports was hurting domestic steel producers and, thus, posing a threat to national security.
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 authorizes the commerce secretary to investigate the impact that imports are having on national security.
Last year, Dura-Bond and several other U.S. pipe producers sent a letter to Trumpasking him to impose tariffs and take other protective actions under Section 232.
The Commerce Department's report to the president in February included recommendations that he consider either:
• A global tariff of at least 24 percent on all steel imports from all countries;
• A tariff of at least 53 percent on all steel imports from 12 countries; or
• A quota on all steel products from all countries equal to 63 percent of each country's 2017 exports to the U.S.
"Each of these remedies is intended to increase domestic steel production from its present 73 percent of capacity to approximately an 80 percent operating rate, the minimum rate needed for the long-term viability of the industry," the Commerce Department said

This is another book that I received from NetGalley, although it's been out for a while now. I've heard of Trudi Canavan, but never actually read any of her books before, despite having one or two hanging around the house. This seemed like a good one to start with, though.
I was put off reading Thief's Magic for a long time because of its length. When I was younger I used to seek out long books for the exact same reason I tend to avoid them nowadays: I can read a short book in an hour or two, and I don't like books where it takes me multiple sittings to get through them. But I needn't have worried. Although it's fairly long, it's a quick read — the prose is very readable and the storyline engaging.
Throughout the book we follow two characters, focusing on one for a few chapters before swapping to the other. I'm more used to books that swap every other chapter if they swap at all, so this was unusual, and sometimes frustrating. As the book went on, the gaps between switches got smaller, but even so, Canavan would often switch viewpoints after a cliffhanger, and by the time we returned to that character again, I'd forgotten whatever it was that had been so exciting.
The main thing I didn't like about this book was that it was very definitely setting up for a series. You couldn't forget that. The ending seemed to lack resolution — Canavan didn't even try to wrap things up, just left it all for the next book. And usually, when there are two viewpoints we expect the characters to meet at some point, but as of the end of the book, they hadn't.
I've got some idea how that meeting will happen in the future — my theories grew less vague as the book went on, and now I'm pretty confident I can predict how it would happen — but it hasn't happened yet. Which was sort of dissatisfying. I was reading two entirely separate stories, and they didn't even have much in common.
I don't mind books that leave things open-ended for a sequel, but there's a difference between an open end and, like, not having an end at all.
One thing I loved was the worldbuilding (no surprises there, right?) and the magic system, which is totally different from any others I've read lately. In this book, there's a finite amount of magic in the atmosphere, which is a problem. In places it's impossible to do spells because there just isn't enough magic. I'd always thought of magic as being something inside people, not in the world itself, so I found that really interesting.
I also loved the prominence of books: I am always up for magical books. Plus, I liked the diversity of characters, whether we're talking about things like background, culture and appearance, or their ideology and approach to magic. Even their economic situation. They definitely weren't generic cookie-cutter characters.
Overall I enjoyed it, but I felt somewhat let down by the ending and its total lack of resolution. Part of me wants to read the next book to get that desired closure; part of me is annoyed at Canavan and doesn't want to fall into her trap. We'll see how I feel by the time I track down book two. Is it even out yet? I have no idea.
Anyway, it was pretty good, so if you're cool with committing yourself to a series of which this book is largely setup, it's a four-star read. I'd probably give it 3.5 if I was into the whole partial-stars thing, but I'm not, so I'll round it up. I'm feeling generous.

I decided to go for it! We decided to sell all our material possessions and travel the world back in 2017. Can you believe it? Not only does single mom travel exist but single mom nomad life exists! This blog documents our year and a half journey of traveling the world full-time. I believe that we are so much more than just single moms. I truly believe that we can do it all despite what society likes to tell single moms they can do.
Single Mom Nomad Life
I'm sure you have heard of the digital nomad trend going on right now where people literally get rid of all their worldly possessions to travel the world with nothing but a laptop and backpack. They bounce from exotic location to exotic location staying in hostels, working on the beach, and bringing in money just from their laptops.
First of all, what exactly is a digital nomad? A digital nomad according to digital nomad soul is simply a longterm traveler that makes money online.
Now, what happens if you are a single mom of three trying to pull this nomad life off? Well… this blog will show you what single mom nomad life really looks like and how it is absolutely possible for you to live this nomad life as well.
Nomad life is not always a luxurious life especially in the beginning but it is an adventure you will never forget. I swear to it. If you want to know the Truth About Being A Digital Nomad read this post by clicking here.
Although nomad life might not be for everyone, I highly recommend you give it a try especially if you are a single mom.
Why Should You Give Nomad Life A Try As A Single Mom?
That is easy! You should give nomad life a try as a single mom because it is an absolutely life-changing experience.
Nomad life has transformed not only me but my daughters as well. When we first set out on this journey in early 2017, I was broken and shattered after leaving an emotionally abusive marriage that I completely lost myself in. My kids were also broken. They were terribly shy and lacked confidence.
Now, thanks to nomad life, they can order items off the menu by themselves in another language, go grocery shopping by themselves at the local markets in a foreign country, and adapt to living in another country every few months. I stand in awe sometimes looking at how much they have transformed.
My nearly 3-year-old didn't ever want me to put her down when we first started this journey. She was terrified of anyone that wasn't family. Now, she commands the attention of everyone around her and wants to run everywhere. She absolutely thrives in new situations.
Single Mom Narrative
Now, I know the typical single mom narrative you hear about most often is one of struggle but I am making sure to write a new narrative for single moms and I am not alone in this mission. Blogs like Negra bohemian, Wealthy Single Mommy, and Tai Travels, are just a few of the blogs out there that show how the typical broke down single mom narrative has transformed into a narrative of limitless possibilities for single mom households.
Single moms can literally give their children the world and you would be damned to get in their way.
The Advantage Of Nomad Life As A Single Mom
There are so many advantages to the nomad life. Let me break it down for you.
1. No Bra Or Pants
Y'all! I am sitting here right now writing this blog post while in my bed in beautiful Mexico with no pants or bra on and a fresh cookie and glass of milk right beside me. Can you say dream life? I don't know many jobs that will allow you to show up braless and pantless. Well… I could name a few but still… this digital nomad life is the dream. I try to avoid putting a bra and pants on at all costs.
2. No Commute
I haven't even got out of bed this morning much less had to jump in my car and sit in traffic while trying to get to a job I absolutely hate. It is hard to believe how much of my life used to be sitting in traffic and now I don't even own a car. If I want, I can choose to go to a local coffee shop to work but my favorite place to work is in my very comfy bed. Hell yes! Can you think about not only the time savings but the cost savings when you don't have to pay for gas or public transportation? Write my name down for this nomad life already!
3. Screw The Alarm Clock
This is probably the number one benefit of nomad life. I seriously hate alarm clocks. It is such an annoying and unnatural way to wake-the-fuck-up. Who wants to wake up to some blaring alarm telling us it is time to get started with our miserable day? Not me. Now, I let the sun or my two-year-old banging on my head wake me up. Both are better than a damn alarm for sure.
4. No Schedule Here
The thought of having a set schedule terrifies me. Seriously. I had enough of a schedule back in my military days even though I would call it more of a 24-hour schedule rather than just a set schedule. Now, I choose when, where, and how much I want to work on a daily basis. I love doing a few hours of focused work first thing in the morning and then taking my girls out to explore whatever current city we are in or just lounging around the house and relaxing all day with no set plans. We call these lazy days. They are the best!
5. Every Day Is Saturday
With nomad life, every day is Saturday. Actually, I forget what day of the week it is often because I no longer live for the weekends. When you create your dream life, every day tends to feel like the weekend. It is the best! No more living for Saturdays and no more dreading Mondays with this nomad life.
How Can I Become A Nomad?
I get this question from people all the time especially from single moms who are barely making ends meet with life in the US. The truth is that there are many different ways to make this lifestyle a reality sooner rather than later. I was able to launch quickly after deciding this is what I wanted because I had my military retirement. It wasn't much but it was a guaranteed monthly income. Check out my YouTube video below filled with loads of info on how you can make this dream a reality as quickly as possible.
After embarking on this unschooling journey with my girls and seeing how our lives have already changed because of it, I decided to take it a step further. With money being tight, I knew that renting or owning a place on top of traveling would not be an option right now. Instead, we will be it once my current lease is up in July. I already booked our first place for the month of August. Our own tiny home! We are beyond excited and extremely nervous. Airbnb'n
What if we absolutely hate it?
What if I am beyond tempted to strangle my not-so-sweet children? Surely, there are laws against that type of thing, right?
On top of all that, this will be our first experience with a composting toilet. I have no clue what this actually entails.
Nonetheless, every month we plan to call a new place home. We don't really have a set plan but we are thrilled to be starting on this new journey.
Here is a quick overview of the video for those of you who are not wanting to sit through a 25-minute long video of me trying to explain how I afford to travel full-time while being attacked by Florida bugs.
1. A Location Independent Income
You absolutely need a location independent income. There is no way around this. Look at the income you already have coming in. Is there a way to make it location independent income? Can you ask your boss to let you work remotely? Do you receive funds from disability, child support, etc… Let me warn you right now. I never advise depending on child support. It is not guaranteed.
Actually, I advise having multiple income streams. You will need to find a way to make money online. You could teach English online with multiple companies, blog, vlog, sell shit, do social media marketing, work as a freelancer doing various things online, start your own business, coach, mentor, write an ebook, or sell an online course.
Of course, there are many more ways as well. I am just giving you a few ideas to get you started on your nomad life as soon as possible. Start today. Stop waiting. Stop overthinking it and stop making excuses. You are reading this which means the idea is already in your mind so let's make this happen nomad queens!
2. The Legal Side Of Things
If you are a single mom like me, you need to make sure you can legally travel with your child. This could be very complicated depending on your relationship with your child's other parent. The nomad life is not possible without you being able to legally travel with your child.
I discussed this lifestyle with my ex before our divorce was finalized. I also had my divorce papers written in a certain way that would allow me to travel and live abroad with my kids legally. If your child's other parent is a healthy positive person in their life, then longterm travel without that parent might not be the best thing for them. This is something you and the other parent will have to work out. I offer hour-long consultations to help you with the exact language needed in your court papers so you can travel and live abroad with your child. You can schedule an appointment by clicking here.
3. Mindset
The money and the legalities do not matter if you don't have the right mindset. What do I mean by this? Travel is tough. Single mom travel is super tough and single mom nomad life is even tougher. You need to be prepared for everything to go absolutely wrong. You need to be prepared for when you are going to want to quit so you acknowledge that it is a feeling and it will pass. Trust me. I have wanted to quit plenty of times but I am so glad that I never gave up on this amazing lifestyle. I might have slowed it down a bit by Moving To Mexico but I never gave up on the single mom nomad life.
Do I have you convinced yet to make the leap? If you still have questions, leave me a comment or join my Single Moms DO Travel group on Facebook where you can be inspired by many single moms who have already made the leap into single mom nomad life.
If you are more than ready to take the leap but are looking for a coach to help guide you through the transition, I am the one you need. Set up a free chat with me by clicking here, and let's discuss ways we can work together to get you from where you are currently at on this journey, to where you want to be.
