Entrepreneur's proof of income tax and NI contributions for Home Office applications
Since the Brexit vote, we have seen that a larger than usual number of enquiries about ensuring that an entrepreneur, doing business in the UK, needs to make sure they have updated their visa and rights to remain in the UK by the British Home Office.
Normally this involves the services of a solicitor to organise your paperwork or at the very least a good understanding of the Home Office rules for application if your doing it yourself. The solictor will often also ask you to provide a qualified accountants letter and financial evidence of the past 5 to 10 years of employed or self employed activity in the UK. With evidence showing how you have contributed to the British economy through your taxes and national insurance contributions (NI).
If your employed this is through P60's, P45's and P11d's. And if your self employed this is in the form of Company Accounts, Corporation Tax Returns, Personal Tax Return's, SA302's (tax calculation) showing total income and tax and NI payable and a HMRC statement of account (like a bank statement showing payments made and balances due).
Your accountant can provide the company accounts, SA302's and tax returns if required urgently. And copies of the HMRC headed statement of account and SA302's can be ordered from HMRC with a normal delay of 7 to 10 days. This information along with others required eg bank statements and ID documents etc can then be submitted with the application to the Home Office.
Some types of visa's such as the entrepreneur visa require detailed business plans with the application and this is something we have a speciality in and can help create this to help your application.
At Tax Affinity Accountants we have already helped many self employed businessmen and women with their successful applications. So if you feel you need help with any of these documents then feel free to contact us and we would be happy to help.

|Subject: Re: Using the RER from CDG
In December, we took the Roissy bus from CDG Terminal 2 to the Opera, where you can catch the Metro. The bus leaves from right outside one of the terminal exits. The cost was about 8 euros per person and you buy your ticket on the bus, so there is no waiting. The trip takes a bit longer than the RER, but we thought the Opera would be a safer metro station to negotiate with bags at night. The bus was only about half full so there was lots of seating.

With Euro 2012 nearly upon us, a lot of money is exchanging hands between punters and bookmakers to predict the outcome of this prestigious event. Favourites to win Euro 2012 include, World Cup '10 winners and current European Championship holders, Spain as well as 3-time Euro winners Germany. Both Spain and Germany posted 100% win percentages during qualification and are seen as hot favourites to take the 14th European Football Championship. Armed with this information, it would appear to be a seemingly easy decision where to place your money, but with a tournament that has seen 9 different winners in 13 tournaments it is never quite that simple. Historically, the tournament has thrown up shock winners such as Greece in 2004 and Denmark in 1992, and has restricted some big footballing nations such as England and Portugal from winning. This blog will try and investigate trends that have emerged during the last 4 European Championships (since the modern group phase changes in 1996), in terms of qualification and group phase statistics and try to highlight possible winners.
The qualifying phase leading up to the Euros consists of between 8 and 14 games. These matches include teams of varying abilities on the FIFA world ranking table and give all teams an opportunity to show off consistency and prowess on the main stage. The team posting the best record in qualification is usually tipped for a succesful campaign in the main tournament, but in essence, is this strong qualifying record indicative of tournament wins?
The above table shows that on average the team that finishes 6th or 7th (6.5) during qualifying (ranked by points and goal difference to every team in every group) progresses on to win the main competition. This combined with the fact that no team in the modern era group stage (1996-present) has won the European Football Championship after qualifying with a perfect or overall best record, quashes the notion that the best qualifying team will win the overall tournament. Another statistic observed in the table above is that the team that manages an average total of 2.3 points per game during qualifying will progress on to win the main tournament. This again goes against the concept that the team who amounts the most points during qualifying will the lift the trophy. One other statistic to take note of is, no team has finished 2nd in their qualifying group and gone on to win the main tournament (1996-present).
Another perspective to approach the statistical analysis of the European Championship qualification phase is with goal analysis.
The figure above shows an average goals scored per game of 1.83 and an average goals conceded per game of 0.79. This difference is obvious as you would expect a team with a winning record to score more goals than it concedes. This data will be more important during further analysis when these figures are applied to the recent Euro 2012 qualifying data to see if any teams show this trend. This goals scored to conceded data equates to a ratio of 1:0.43 which will also be analysed further to see if any teams show consistency with this trend.
Group Stage
To predict the overall tournament winner based on qualifying prowess seems to be a redundant statistic, as shown above. It would be more relevant to use trends found in qualifying and during the group stage to make a more informed decision. If a team has a successful group stage, which is quantified by points accumulated and a healthy goal difference, they are tipped by bookmakers as heavy favourites to win the tournament. This beckons the question, does the most successful team in the group phase (ranked by points, goal difference and goals for) win the tournament?
The above table shows that on average approximately the 4th (4.25) ranked team (ranked by points, goal difference and goals for – against all other teams) will progress on to win the main competition. This is a steady improvement compared to the qualifying data (6.5) and shows progression by the eventual winners. This again goes against the argument that the most successful team (in qualifying or group phase) actually wins the tournament. This data may suggest that the eventual winner improves throughout the tournament process, peaking at the right time and not peaking too early in the tournament like hot favourites.
This data also shows that a team which has been statistically ranked as no.1 from group stage results has never progressed to win the overall tournament (1996-present). The average points gained per game during the group stage were 2.17. This statistic will be analysed later on in the blog to advise what to look out for in Euro 2012, in conjunction with qualifying trends. An additional point to consider is, out of the previous 4 Euro winners, 2 have won after finishing 2nd in their group. This data questions the popular decision by punters to bet heavily on the favourite.
Again, a goal analysis for the group phase, eventual tournament winners needs to be investigated to see if there are emerging trends.
The figure above depicts average goals per game scored and conceded during the group stage for the team who eventually won the tournament. There was an overall average of 2 goals scored and 0.92 conceded per game. These are slightly higher values compared to the qualifying figures, this may be because the improved quality of opponents and the increased pressure on the 3 game group stage i.e. more goals scored. The ratio of goals scored to conceded is 1:0.46, translating to a higher rate of goals conceded than goals scored when compared to the qualifying group (1:0.43). Although the 0.03 increase in goals conceded, these ratios are very similar between qualifying and group. This data could suggest that there is a winning trend to look out for in qualifying to group stage in terms of the team's ratio. Conversely to this, a specific year were a positive goals for and against ratio didn't take place was in 2004. Greece finished winners of the tournament but scraped through the group on goals scored in 2nd place, with a zero goal difference.
Application of Statistics
This section of the blog will attempt to apply the trends observed in earlier qualifying data and highlight potential winners for Euro 2012. It will also suggest what to look out for during the group stage to try to finally predict a winner. Trends beyond the group stage have not been analysed because this blog is trying to pick a winner as early as qualifying to try to change an everyday punter's betting behaviour. Big money rests on Spain and Germany for Euro 2012 but will they peak at the right time?
The table presented above takes the averages found in the first section of the blog and applies them to the current Euro 2012 data. The first noticeable point to make is the fact that Denmark relates to every trend. To say definitively that Denmark will win Euro 2012 is a bold claim because they are arguably in the best group, but if they manage to get out of group B they may be the surprise of the tournament. Greece are another team that could be the surprise of the tournament. If they perform the more than possible task of making it through group A they will have to take on a heavyweight from group B which could prove too much. Another team which is of particular interest in the table above is England. England qualified 1st in their qualifying group which seems a necessity as no team has won the tournament after finishing 2nd in qualifying (1996-present). Also England gained an average of 2.25 points per game which fits the trend and leaves England room to improve in the group stage.
I'm not going to say any of these teams will win Euro 2012 because trying to pick a winner after looking at qualifying data is hard with all the other variables that haven't been quantified. What I will say is track the 3 teams I have suggested and see if they conform to any group phase trends. The main things to look out for are:
1) ranked not as favourite but approximately 4th overall (England are ranked 4th in UEFA rankings)
2) averaging 2.17 points per game (~6-7 points)
3) Do not be put off if the team doesn't win their group as the team who did win may have already peaked.
The problem with drawing conclusions with this method is obviously there is no qualifying data for the hosts. By looking at their group stage data in the same way as all the other teams it might be possible to make different predictions on the 12th of June.
The application of trends is not an exact science or criterion to produce a definite winner. This blog has tried to show that during the modern-day Euros with 4 groups and 16 teams (1996-present), the team ranked no. 1 statistically, has never won the tournament. It is easy as a punter to back the favourite but as seen time and time again, throughout history the favourite does not always win. Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona failed to make the Champions League Final, Chelsea failed to make top 4 but won the champions league, 33/1 Neptune Collonges won the Grand National so why can't Denmark cause an upset?

So lately I've been watching the War of the Worlds TV series on YouTube. You can read my review of it over on Nostalgia Equals Distortion.
I got done a draft of the mwvm press release for the new record. So it feels like things are on the ball for that.
I sent in the artwork to Fluttery for the new Remora disc. It still feels weird to me having a Remora disc where I didn't do the artwork myself (though granted that Shane did the artwork for Songs I Sing).
Wrote to a couple of other artists about getting some things ready for their press releases (Plumerai & new signing Bosques) & digital art booklets for their upcoming releases.
Did some preliminary work for a couple shifts on the website. Going to try again (I have tried a couple times in the past) to make the Silber Radio thing play the tracks randomly (currently playing from newest track to oldest track) & also going to try again to have a page on Silber where you can listen to some of our favorite radio stations. On the radio station thing, it basically ends up with the Yahoo Javascript I have throughout the site, it'll be super easy to do with the radio stations that made their streams to naturally work with Windows Media Player, however it will be a real pain to make things work with the stations that made their streams to naturally work with iTunes. So unfortunately, at least for now, my solution is to abandon half the stations. If someone with fancy skills can figure out a solution that will work easily on the Silber site, you are more than welcome to contact me about it.
Lately I've been getting demos from some sort of classically trained acoustic jazz guitar types. I have no idea what is going on to cause that. I mean, it's fine, do what you do, but you should really mainly send stuff to labels that would care for your work.
Assembled some more mini-comics. Trying to slowly but surely get ready for orders of the complete box set of comics once I make that available.

It's almost back to school time! All three of my children will be going to school full time this year. This year we're moving back into our regular school building after it has been COMPLETELY renovated..in fact, most of it was demolished and a new building was built behind and attached to the historic building. Suffice it to say that there will be a lot of change and chaos around the start of school this year.
Thankfully our school is fantastic at communication. We get emails, newsletters and lots of paperwork helping keep us informed and in the loop regarding school stuff. I decided to throw two simple clip boards up on the wall in my kitchen to contain this paperwork.
It makes it really easy to find whatever important paper I'm looking for and they don't get lost in a pile of paper or in a bin somewhere. We keep the school lunch menu on top so we can always check it in case one of the children wants to eat a school lunch. Cheap, easy idea…maybe this would work for you. Tackle that paper! If you can get a plan for the paper before it starts rolling in you'll be so much happier. Oh…and MOST of the paperwork that comes home ends up in my recycling bin.

Markets and Off Road Camping
As we were leaving Kununurra on Saturday I noticed lots coloured gazebos at the oval. The local markets, so just had to go.
Yes a stall with quilts and some fabrics.
Finally I was able to buy a few fat quarters.
We drove till about 4pm and then found a beautiful spot in the bush to set up camp.
It was so peaceful and sunny in the morning to just sit and stitch before packing up.
We fuelled up like so many other travellers.
and it's on the road again only stopping for the
occasional bathroom stop
morning tea and some lunch. As we drove along there was a huge bush fire going on for many kms.
For our second night of camping DH had to do a bit of bush bashing.
I am always amazed where DH takes our dear old van. This branch was stuck underneath.
It was a perfect spot next some beautiful Boab Trees
Lovely sunset.
As it is such perfect weather in this part of Aussie we decided to spend a few days in Broome before making our way home to the cold and rain.
Will post again tomorrow for One Flower Wednesday and show you what we are doing in Sunny Broome.

A diet high in red meat has been found to cause the kidneys to fail. It was found that those who ate the most red meat had a 40% higher risk of developing ESRD (end-stage renal disease) commonly known as kidney failure.
ESRD is the final stage of chronic kidney disease; the kidneys stop doing their job to keep the body alive and the only way for survival is to have dialysis or a kidney transplant.
There was research using data from The Singapore Chinese Health Study that followed 63,257 Chinese adults, aged 45-74 for an average of 15.5 years. They found a strong relationship between those eating big quantities of red meat and ESRD. There were 951 cases of ESRD occurred showing a very clear trend. It is interesting that they found no association between the consumption of poultry, eggs, fish or dairy products. Soy and beans were actually found to be somewhat protective.
Woon-PuayKoh, the researcher, and her team examined the data from the Singapore Chinese Health Study linking the data with the Singapore Renal Registry holding the records of all Singapore ESRD patients. The goal was to find the role of different protein sources on ESRD outcomes.
"We embarked on our study to see what advice should be given to CKD patients or to the general population worried about their kidney health regarding types or sources of protein intake. Our findings suggest that these individuals can still maintain protein intake but consider switching to plant-based sources; however, if they still choose to eat meat, fish/shellfish and poultry are better alternatives to red meat." said Dr.Koh.
The research found that kidney failure was less when red meat was replaced in one's diet with proteins like fish and poultry. The study found that when one serving of red meat is substituted with another protein, there was a 62% reduction of developing ESRD.
"It is best to eat red meat in moderation. For example, instead of eating red meat for every meal or daily, it is advisable to replace it with other meat such as poultry and fish, or plant-based protein such as soya and legumes for alternate meals or days," said professor Woon-Puay Koh, from the Duke-NUS Medical School.
Red meat consumed in China is mostly pork; it is 97% of the red meat intake. The other proteins were eggs, dairy, shellfish, fish, soy, legumes, and poultry.
Kidneys are necessary!
To survive we need our vital organs, kidneys. To make sure we survive we were given two kidneys. If both kidneys fail we will not live.
- One of the important things kidneys do is remove the waste from our body (drugs, urea, ammonia, and other toxic substances). Build up of waste can be very damaging to the body.
- They remove excess water from the body.
- Kidneys help control blood pressure.
- Help make red blood cells and maintain the body's calcium levels.
What happens for those at risk of ESRD is that the kidneys slowly stop working over 10 to 20 years.
To learn more about the symptoms of ESRD go to The National Library of Medicine for the list.
Many reasons to be concerned about kidney failure. See these facts:
- 10% of the people in the world get chronic kidney disease; millions die every year.
- 26 million American adults have kidney disease and most don't know it.
- Chronic kidney disease is on the rise, growing by approximately 8% each year according to the World Health Organization.
- More than 2 million people in the world receive treatment with dialysis or a kidney transplant yearly.
- Diabetes (type 2) and high blood pressure are the two leading causes of kidney disease. Ageing and hypertension are next on the list.
The above is from The National Kidney Foundation and WHO.

Why do authorities, notably churches, pressure preach that we forgive our abusers, rapists and pedophiles? Forgiving rapists and pedophiles enables more rape and pedophilia.

2019 12 04: Report says Alberta women at high risk of being killed
… The report also states nearly 2/3 of women entering shelters — roughly 65.9 per cent — are at severe or extreme risk of being killed by their partner.
ACWS executive director Jan Reimer said this is the highest the risk level has been in eight years. "We're continuing to see more and more women at extreme risk of being killed," she said. "That has to be really troubling for every Albertan. We know that we have so much more we need to do."

Oh Misogynistic Canadian "Justice!" 2019 11: Kings County teen who could not legally consent to sex with older man shocked by plea deal, Sexual assault charge is withdrawn after accused pleads guilty to lesser charge of assault
Everyone she trusted said what happened was wrong — her parents, the police, the prosecutors, the school principal and her therapist. She says she did what they told her to do. She gave statements to the RCMP. She was interviewed by Social Development. She was cross-examined at a preliminary hearing. And she prepared herself to testify at a seven-day trial to which 400 potential jurors had been summoned.
But at the last minute, the ground shifted, said the teen, who is now 17 and can't be identified because of a publication ban. The Crown and the defence agreed the charge of indictable sexual assault would be withdrawn if Zachary Gallant pleaded guilty to indictable assault.
Indictable offences are among the most serious and because the complainant was under 16, a sexual assault conviction would have carried a maximum sentence of 14 years of incarceration and a minimum of one.
On Sept. 10, Gallant was sentenced to 16 months to be served in the community. The sentence meant no jail time, no curfew and no requirement to be registered as a sex offender.

Rape victim set on fire on way to court in northern India, police say
A 23-year-old rape victim was set ablaze by a gang of men, including the alleged rapist, as she made her way to court in the northern India on Thursday, police said, stirring public outrage and shame over the scourge of crimes against women.
During the past week, thousands of Indians have protested in several cities following the alleged rape and murder of a 27-year-old vet near the southern city of Hyderabad.
Protesters and parliamentarians are pressing for courts to fast-track rape cases and demanding tougher penalties.
The woman attacked and burned on Thursday morning was in a critical condition, according to D.S. Negi, a doctor at the Civil Hospital in Lucknow, the capital of the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.
She had been on her way to catch a train in Unnao district to attend a hearing when she was doused with kerosene and set on fire, police said.
"As per victim's statement five people were involved in setting her on fire, including the one who was accused in the rape case," Vikrant Vir, a police superintendent in Unnao, told Reuters.
All five men have been detained, Uttar Pradesh police said in a tweet.
Police documents seen by Reuters showed the woman had filed a complaint with Unnao police in March alleging that she had been raped at gunpoint on December 12, 2018.
Having been subsequently jailed, the alleged rapist was released last week after securing bail, police officer S.K. Bhagat said in Lucknow.
Uttar Pradesh is India's most populous state and has become notorious for its poor record regarding crimes against women, with more than 4,200 cases of rape reported there in 2017 – the highest in the country.
The Uttar Pradesh state government, currently controlled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), came under fire in July from opposition groups accusing it of protecting a lawmaker accused of rape.
Comment to the article
Solidarity with women in India. This is a terrible atrocity and too many women and girls are victims of sexual violence. It is powerful to see so many out protesting these issues.
Lest us forget that here in Canada, women survivors of rape rarely find their court cases taken up. It is rare that a rape ends in the conviction of the perpetrator. We must change this.
Attire does not imply consent, Ontario Court of appeal says, calling out Justice for comments [Why isn't that Justice removed from the Bench, pronto, with pension taken away? The year is 2019, not 1019!]
Interest in sex does not affect a complainant's credibility in a sexual-assault trial, Ontario Appeals Court rules
A complainant's interest in sex should not affect her credibility as a witness in a sexual-assault trial, Ontario's highest court says.
It was the second time in less than a week the Ontario Court of Appeal has singled out judges for falling back on what it described as myths about sexual-assault complainants. The earlier case involved a judge who found that the way a woman dresses may indicate consent.
The complainant in the new case was between 11 and 14 when she alleges her mother's boyfriend sexually abused her four times. She had only recently returned to her mother from three years of foster care when the first alleged incident occurred. She disclosed the alleged incidents 2 1/2 years after the final one.
Last year, Ontario Superior Court Justice Gary Tranmer acquitted the man, identified by his initials, L.M., saying the Crown had not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt. The appeal court threw out the acquittal on Monday, partly because Justice Tranmer was concerned, it said, that the complainant's interest in sex reduced her credibility as a witness.
The appeal court said unanimously that it is a legal error to connect credibility to an interest in sex.
"Evidence of a complainant's prior sexual activity is never admissible to support the twin myths that the complainant is less worthy of belief or more likely to have consented to the activity," Justice Mary Lou Benotto wrote, supported by Justice David Brown and Justice David Paciocco.
"Consent of a child is irrelevant and, in these circumstances, impossible at law. Yet, the trial judge considered this evidence in reference to her credibility."
Justice Benotto added that other underlined headings that dealt with credibility were far from neutral. They included "Lies" and "Motivated by Money."
The "twin myths" were set out by the Supreme Court in a 1991 case known as Seaboyer. In last week's case, in which a male resident of a home for people with disabilities was accused of sexually assaulting a female resident on consecutive nights, a judge had acquitted the man, while saying the woman's attire was "significant." The appeal court ordered a new trial in that case, too.
… Elizabeth Sheehy, a professor emeritus at the University of Ottawa's law school, said in an e-mail that the case demonstrates "that judges continue to struggle to apply the law of sexual assault on so many levels," including using the complainant's sexual history despite Criminal Code provisions that "constrain resort to such prejudicial and irrelevant evidence."
She said he found reasonable doubt "where his own review of the accused's statements to police concluded that they amounted to a confession to criminal sexual acts."
She said the country needs closer screening of judicial appointments [Do misogynistic racist politicians appoint misogynistic racist judges?] and improved training of judges in sexual-assault law. She added that the case is all the more distressing because it will require "a young and vulnerable complainant to testify for a second time against a man who stood in the place of a stepfather."

Is Canada "a pedophile's paradise?" Appeal court cuts child molester's 'unduly long and harsh' sentence (too short to begin with given the lasting harms inflicted to children!) in half.
Non-Disclosure Agreements "are, indeed, an ugly instrument."
Do you want fairness, equality, diversity, inclusion in Canada's legal profession? In 2019, 85% of the legal profession in USA is white and mostly male. No wonder so many sexual assault victims are re-victimized in court by judges and known convicted pedophiles are granted licence to practice law! No wonder our environment is underrepresented and unjustly served with vile demented gag orders.
"Unconscionably Unjust!" "Beyond the Pale!" Legal gag at it's most vile: Protecting known multimillionaire pedophile Epstein and entire network, aided & abetted by? Lawyers! "Non-prosecution deal" gave Epstein and his pedophile ring immunity from all federal charges. How many churches & law societies? Will lawyers & judges hammer out another humdinger of a gag to make sure the world never finds out?
Abuse of Faith, 20 years, 700 victims: Southern Baptist sexual abuse spreads as leaders resist reforms; 'Awful, awful trauma' – Southern Baptist church members, leaders react to sexual abuse findings
All the world's not a stage, it's a pedophile ring! Is Rod MacLeod's ungagged legal victory against basilian pedophile priest why catholic/extreme right white lawyers took over Ontario's law society a year later? To keep vatican's Pedophile Ring & "Silent Shuffle" busy? Jury was blunt: "Put children in harm's way – grossly negligent. … Betrayal of trust with the community." Meanwhile in Australia, the ultimate court-ordered gag order betrays the public's trust
"Law Society of Ontario taken over by 'right-wing, fundamentalist religious zealots?'" Taken over by the catholic church to better protect and feed its sex-crazed, child-abusing "celibate" priests? Do white privileged people think loading up on religious self-righteousness and the church will hide the law society's pedophilia? It's not working.
Law Society of Ontario a Pedophile Ring? Racism, misogyny *and* enabling sexual abuse of children? Ottawa lawyer, John David Coon, in custody for sex crimes against four-year old daughter of one of his clients. Law Society documents reveal they gave Coon licence to practise law despite knowing of his prior criminal conviction for sexually assaulting another child.
Errors or more judicial misogyny? Appeal panel rules trial judge 'erred,' issues convictions on 25 charges related to 18 complainants for Chatham-Kent violin teacher; Panel requested different trial court judge determine sentencing. Phew! It's about time.
No wonder Canadian "justice" is so often misogynistic, racist &/or abusive. Looking in the mirror: Harassment in legal workplaces
"The [legal] system's not broken; the system was built this way." Of course it was! Just like it was built to piss on the poor, women, the environment and the Rule of Law itself
Cornwall, Canada: Pedophilia victims given large settlements to get rid of their lawsuits, including 16 against Catholic Church, in all possibly totaling $70-100 Million with some individuals getting less than $20,000. "The Inquiry found the Catholic Church, police, the Ontario government and the legal system all failed to protect children from sexual predators."
Disgraced ex-judge Robin Camp said he's learned his lesson. Really? "Knees Together" Camp Accompanied Ezra Levant On Trip To Train UK Rebel Staff, Camp stood by his comments about sexual assault, ex-Rebel employees say
Unbelievable Gall! No wonder Canada's legal system is broken! Ex-Judge "sex hurts & why didn't you keep your knees together" Robin Camp seeks to practise law again in Alberta
"Unf*ck the system." Alberta's Neanderthal "Justice" system assaults sexual assault victims. "The judge in this troubling case was none other than former Deputy Justice Minister Ray Bodnarek, a PC loyalist appointed as a judge by former PC Justice Minister Jonathan Denis who himself resigned under troubling allegations of domestic violence." Commenter: "So who exactly is the crown protecting by blocking the publication of the victim's name?" Another commenter: "My guess…..the 'system'. It stinks and it's all because of the judges & lawyers."
Happy Easter! What's with so many judges not keeping their lips together? Protecting rape & pedophilia rings? How are citizens to trust & respect judges with so many bad lips on the bench? "That judge didn't care about me," Julie Kirby, 23, one of Keith Vallejo's victims said Friday. "He only cared about the person he was convicting, and I think that is really kind of despicable."
Oh Canada! Once-imprisoned lawyer (for child pornography) one step closer to getting his licence to practise law in Ontario, Two out of three lawyers on Law Society of Upper Canada tribunal decide he's of 'good character.' Dissenting opinion finds Ronald Davidovic failed to prove he was rehabilitated.

There was hopeful news from a Valentine's Day meeting of the Landmarks Preservation Commission regarding Coney Island's Riegelmann Boardwalk. In an apparent reversal of their past refusal to grant Scenic Landmark status for the iconic boardwalk, the agency is now offering to protect and honor the nearly century-old structure. The designation is a positive and welcome first step toward recognizing the historical and cultural significance of the Boardwalk, something that advocates have been hoping and fighting for.
The landmarking effort was spearheaded by Councilmen Mark Treyger and Chaim Deutsch, who began meeting with the LPC back in 2014. Councilman Treyger pointed out that landmark status will preserve the Boardwalk in perpetuity and require oversight, review, and public scrutiny when major changes are proposed by the NYC Department of Parks, which oversees the beach and Boardwalk.
The unusual public outreach meeting, hosted by Treyger and Deutsch and attended by LPC Commissioner Srinivasan and four staff members, was held at the YMCA in the West End of Coney Island. As we've noted before, landmark designation is advisory and has no regulatory input on requiring a wooden surface for the structure, as it is city owned. That will be a different battle. But it does change the legal status and regulatory oversight that will bring the issue into the public domain. Many thanks to Councilmen Treyger and Deutsch for their tireless efforts in protecting the Boardwalk. When landmarking is approved, the Boardwalk will join Ocean Parkway as Coney Island's only other Scenic Landmark. Now on to the public hearings at the City Planning Commission and a vote to make this a reality!

As 2017 comes to an end, I feel compelled to express my thoughts and reflections of the past year. As this is my last blog for the year, I would simply like to thank each and every family who believed in me and gave me the amazing opportunity to assist them with their birth and arrival of their new baby.

Holistic Stages of Birth
Attending Births has helped me realize that babies have their own agenda when left to birth when they feel they should. The more births I am blessed to witness to more I learn to carry forward for another birthing Mom at the next birth.There are holistic stages of birth, which I will start to talk to you about here today.

One Room Challenge – Week 3
April 16th, 2015
So here we are at week 3 in the ORC, I'm halfway there!!
Mattress update: We bought a bed last Friday!! I'm very relieved that we chose one.
It was really tough picking out a bed because whenever I make a purchase that requires me spending a lot of money, I have to do a lot of research. It seems like most people favour memory foam but Matt and I stayed with innerspring mattresses. If you are interested in more information check out the Better Sleep Council (sounds so proper!) or Good Housekeeping has a guide to help you. Finally, if you want to go crazy, check out Sleep Like The Dead… I read so many reviews across all the brands on this site and although it was very informative, I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere. It doesn't help that the companies change the names of the mattresses so some of the reviews could be based on discontinued models but are still part of the collection you could be looking at. In the end, we went with the one that felt right for us, and was a decent price – we chose the Beautyrest Recharge Infinity Comfort-top. Done!:)
Lighting Update
I still haven't decided on table lamps. For the past year I have been looking out for lamps that I would like in our bedroom but I haven't found anything. I thought I would find something at Home Sense but I usually see clear class bases and I would prefer something white. While looking online I found some options…
Left – CB2 / Centre – West Elm / Right – Home Depot
I'm still looking and I think I will check out the antique shows near my house to see if I can find anything! Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

Caliendo's draft joke with Cardinals GM Keim led to some fake news
May 21, 2019, 9:15 AM | Updated: 1:10 pm
(Photo by Mike Moore/Getty Images for Celebrity Fight Night)
Comedian Frank Caliendo thought he was being a funny guy when he sent Cardinals general manager Steve Keim audio messages impersonating Raiders coach Jon Gruden and proposing a trade before the NFL Draft.
It wasn't so funny when the two publicly discussed their pre-draft joking around and the vicious news cycle churned the prank between friends into a lambasting of Keim.
After Caliendo and Keim went on The Dan Patrick Show to joke about their friendly exchange, headlines posted to more than one website took things out of context.
Some accused Keim of nearly being fooled by Caliendo's Gruden impression, charging the GM with nearly believing a trade for the first overall pick for the fourth and 27th selections was truly on the table from Oakland. Others even suggested he should have been focusing on the actual draft, believing Keim was busy joking with Caliendo while on the clock.
"Steve always knows it's me," Caliendo said Tuesday on 98.7 FM Arizona's Sports Station's Doug & Wolf. "I sent him audio files. This is not during the draft. So Yahoo! takes the story and says that I'm doing this during the draft. It's a complete lie. Fake news.
"I'm like, no, this is 100 percent not — he knew it was me from the beginning. This is a joke. This is silly."
Caliendo also sent fake messages to some of his NFL reporter friends. He impersonated Jay Glazer and Adam Schefter as part of the practical joke.
But like Keim, they knew it was him all along.
"It was amazing to get caught up (in it)," Caliendo said. "It was a phony story. My dad's texting me, like, 'What are you doing?' I'm like, 'It's not real!' People are mad at me, like, 'Grow up.' It was known by all parties what was going on.
"I've never been in that kind of social media fakeness."
Keim, who also joined Caliendo on Dan Patrick's radio show, joked that it was "torture" and said he believed he actually did "three or four trades" with the Raiders and had to confirm with Oakland GM Mike Mayock that it was all a farce. Within context of the interview, it sounded like Keim was joking.
But headlines took those comments seriously, charging Caliendo with actually, nearly duping the Cardinals GM. Just look at the headlines their duel appearance produced:
Comedian Frank Caliendo tried to fool the Cardinals into trading first pick to the Raiders
Comedian Frank Caliendo nearly fooled Arizona Cardinals on draft day with Jon Gruden impression
Frank Caliendo Nearly Pranked Steve Keim Into Trading Him No. 1 Pick as Jon Gruden
Frank Caliendo hilariously pranked GM Steve Keim into almost trading him No. 1 pick as Jon Gruden
Caliendo, who lives in the Valley close to Cardinals headquarters, has known Keim for a while. He's coached one of Keim's sons in flag football and two of their children are friends.
He doesn't feel great about how some news entities took his ribbing and turned it into an indictment on the Cardinals GM.
"I'm looking at these stories, I text Steve, like, 'Can you believe what's happening here?'" Caliendo said. "It was kind of a lesson and I know Steve will never do me another favor — I wouldn't if I were him. I mean, he's been so good to me and a great friend … I'm even scared to ask for tickets now."
Here is the original appearance on The Dan Patrick Show that sparked all of it.Array

Today, new drums application for Mac has been released on the Mac App Store. Renzoku drums is a drums loop sequencer with pattern selector. It was designed for drums track making, jamming, and daily musical instrument training.
5 thoughts on "Renzoku Drums"
This app has great potential. However, there aren't any instructions on how to create strikes of different intensity. It is apparently possible, given the different coloured dots. If you select dots, they disappear, then when you press the position again, another dot appears, but only one coloured dot ever appears for the user.
That is, one colour of dot (a purple one), which equals one type of loudness.
More Info:
How does the app work on a Mac ?
What about the sound, tempo, recording, can this app be used with garageband ?
Is there a video ?
Kinda neat. Can't seem to figure out how to change the intensity of a strike. Would be nice if you could setup more than one measure of beats.

We are on a pretty tight budget right now – new baby and Christmas are on their way. So when I got the good news that I had an interview with Oxford's MBA program in New York City, I immediately went into how-do-I-spend-as-little-as-possible mode. Here's a break down of how I was able to only spend $77.31 flying across the country.
The value of frequent flyer programs
I am a big fan of loyalty programs and mileage plans in particular. I am a diehard Delta flier (or flyer since I need to start using the British spelling). Because I travel a bit for work, I have a bunch of miles saved up. I also opened an American Express Skymiles card a few months ago and received 20,000 miles just for opening the card. I don't have any annual fees for the first year.
And because I'm a Medallion member, I don't pay any baggage fees. Being a Amex Skymiles card holder also gives me and upto 8 other individuals traveling with me free checked luggage.
Roundtrip airfare cost 25,000 miles and $5. Opening the Amex Skymiles card almost covered the entire purchase.
The value of a good book
In case you haven't flown recently, airlines charge you for everything. In airline industry lingo, it's called a-la-carte pricing, unbundled pricing or ancillary revenue. Rather than put the price of everything into the ticket, passengers can choose just what they want to pay for. Delta offers seat back in-flight entertainment systems and wireless Internet access on many of its routes. Unfortunately, many of the entertainment options cost money. Enter Trust Agents by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith, or any other book that you want to read. I was able to finish up reading Trust Agents, which I started on a recent flight to California.
The cost for in-flight entertainment was $0.
The value of good friends
Next to airfare, lodgings are usually the next most costly part of a trip. Though thanks to Facebook, I keep in touch with a lot of old friends, including several that live in New York. I quickly messaged one on Facebook and was hooked up with a place to crash for the one night as well as food.
Over night accommodations cost $0.
The value of public transportation
There is very little public transportation where I live. Not because I live in a rural area or anything, but it's very suburban and too spread out for mass transit. I didn't learn the value of mass transit like subways until I lived in Mexico City for two years. My friend was able to give me directions on how to use public transportation to get from JFK airport (which I hate) to his place. From there, I used the subway system to get around New York. I avoided using taxis, shuttles or black car services to keep my costs low.
Local transportation costs came to $43.50.
The value of awesome, cheap New york style pizza
I love pizza. And I really love pizza in New York. My friends had planned to provide dinner for me the night I arrived. Unfortunately, they unexpectedly ended up in the hospital for a few hours, leaving me on my own for dinner. I went to Sal's Pizzeria in Mamaroneck, New York for some amazing pizza and gelato. Okay, I splurged on the gelato. But they had stracciatella and hazelnut gelato! I also had pizza the next day for lunch near Ground Zero. The good thing about pizza in New York is that it's good and cheap.
Food costs came to a whopping $28.81 despite having to unexpectedly having to pay for dinner.
Final thoughts
I decided that I would share my final thoughts, as well as a few scenes from my trip, via video rather than making you read more. Enjoy!
Also, this post was featured in an edition of the Festival of Frugality.

Easy to use, nice color
Love this pencil.
Creamy and long lasting
Easy to apply. Not too soft or too hard. It needs a sharpen when you first get it to soften it. Long lasting. Love the color selection! My go-to lip pencil.
smooth to apply and lasting
Just wish that you had some sort of description on the lip liner colors. That would be very helpful. Would also like to see a mention of both metallic and glitter colors in the write up for eyeliner pencils, as it's very hard to tell from the color chart, exactly what you are getting.

Indiana Is Cold, So I'm Heading South, TToT 72
2. Cuckoo provided the comic relief everyone needed. He even got a true guffaw out of my grandma.
3. The weather for the funeral was perfect.
4. Since I was able to stay for two nights, we were able to get all sorts of Euchre in. We laughed and laughed, despite our exhaustion and sorrow. Well, really, because of our exhaustion and sorrow.
5. I will be in Florida for the first snowflakes of the season. Everyone here in Indiana will be bundled up in coats and gloves for trick-or-treating, while Cuckoo and I will be enjoying Halloween without layers. Shorts and a t-shirt for me!
6. The new light fixtures for the front porch and my bedroom hallway have arrived. Finally, I'll have some light at night and won't be so likely to kill myself when I trip over the junk the kids have left on the floor.
7. Bryan doesn't have to clock in at work, but can work whatever hours works for him. While he usually works from 7:30-5:30, it's been (and will be) very helpful that he can take the time to do the driving I normally do on weekdays.
8. I still have a few kids who don't mind when I hug and kiss them, even in public.
9. Internet banking lets me schedule the paying of the bills. No overdrawing the account or paying late in this house!
10. I AM GOING TO FLORIDA AND STAYING WITH MY FRIEND AND GOING TO THE BEACH!!! Did I mention that already?
It's Wednesday, so no code to put the link in here. Head over to Lizzi's if you want to join in the thankfulness with a post of your own.
Have a lovely day!

No snow here in MD, but it is cold! Fire pits were lit for t or t last night, and their warmth was welcome. I'm glad you had some good family time and that you are warm!ReplyDelete
Did you say something about Florida and the beach? I think you did.ReplyDelete
Have a fabulous time. :)
YAY FOR THE BEACH! I am SO happy for you (and I still really, really want you to meet up with Sandy and take photos - I hope that happens!). Well done Cuckoo for behaving so nicely at the funeral, and I'm glad it was a good one, and that you got lots of Euchre in with your family.ReplyDelete
I'm including TToT into my blog's month-long Gratitude Challenge. I know most of you have been doing this for a while but I'm so glad to have found it and want to share it with everyone during the month. http://bit.ly/1zVwY94ReplyDelete

I think there's much to recommend children's presence at funerals. Glad Cuckoo rocked it.

Yay for the beach and warm Florida weather. NJ is freezing-rainy-windy-yucky. I love online banking - fast, easy and efficient. I'm sure Cuckoo charmed the funeral attendees and helped them appreciate the joy of life. Enjoy you time away and stay warm.ReplyDelete
We got snow yuck last night and throughout the day today but I doubt that it will stay very long. Euchre!!!! I have not played in so long and I absolutely love Euchre! Do you ever play online? I used to play on a site but can't remember the name of it now.ReplyDelete
I'm glad you got to attend the funeral and Cuckoo being on his best behavior. Enjoy your time in FL and the beach! Hope to be able to make it there next summer as well (the North Sea or Baltic Sea coast that is). In Germany, we usually set up automatic recurrent payments for the usual things (mortgage/rent, loan payments, power, kindergarten fees, etc.), so having to pay everything by check in the States made me panic at first. Remember dropping off a rent check at 4 am February 2, 2008 before heading to the hospital to have a baby :-)ReplyDelete
you gotta love that cuckoo! Have fun at the beach....ReplyDelete
1.-2. He is a one-man show. Love that kid!ReplyDelete
3. Wonderful!
5. Snow on Halloween? That's not nice! It was really cold here, like just over 40 degrees, but at least it wasn't windy.
6. Will the lights be in place by the time you get back, or will that be on your list of things to get done when you DO get back?
7. It's always good for a husband to experience these things every now and then.
10. Are you in Florida?!

Actually, I bet Cuckoo was a humongous blessing to all those present at the funeral. A young, healthy guy like him is a reminder of hope and joy.ReplyDelete
~May @ Achieving Clarity
I've played board games after a funeral before. It's a great stress-relief to be able to laugh and play together.ReplyDelete
I know from your instagram photos that you are having a ball in Florida. I hope Cuckoo shared his candy with you! :-)
hope you had a wonderful trip Florida ... can't wait to see the picturesReplyDelete
Again I am sorry for your family's loss
one word: not fair!!ReplyDelete
lol (excellent plan… "...oh! so you say it's snowing outsider… hey Cuckoo! out of the water time for lunch!… 5 to 7 inches, you say?")
While I do love Fall, it is cold and very windy here today and the beach sounds wonderful. Enjoy!ReplyDelete
Well it is a tad chilly in Florida but it is not snowing so there is that.ReplyDelete
What a great list and I am glad there was some comic relief too. We all need that especially in times of sorrow
Oh number 8.ReplyDelete
I closed my breadbasket up after I had my one and only so I'm getting all the public displays of affection that I can!!
Yes, be very thankful of warm.
We have frost.
Well, now I know who brought the cold weather ;)! It's actually been lovely here, which of course you know, and I hope you're enjoying your trip. I got your message and replied but I think from the photos I've been seeing that you must be having a great time. I saw the one of Cuckoo in the water at the beach...on the coldest day we've had this year!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 3, 2014 at 12:51 AM
Well it definitely feels like mid-fall here, that's for sure! I love it - and I'm glad we aren't getting that snow that those around us are. It's just too soon.ReplyDelete
Glad your funeral trip was filled with Euchre (what IS that??) and that Cuckoo could bring a smile to people's faces. I always think funerals should have happy moments.
I'm so glad you came to FL (but sorry for the lost of your great-aunt.) I'm in central FL and the weather is ALWAYS perfect for Halloween. I tell people the best months to visit are Nov. and March. Unless, of course you want to swim in the ocean, which means you come in the summer, when everyone else in the world visits. Nov. and March are beautiful months - 75 degrees mostly. I'm sure you had a great time with ONE child!ReplyDelete

World's Small Powers Bypass US and UN to Ban Land Mines
Backers hope 'historic' treaty approved yesterday in Oslo will become a moral force.
A disarmament treaty that the most heavily armed nations in the world refuse to sign may seem like a lightweight document. But the land-mine treaty approved here yesterday by dozens of small and medium-sized nations shows that groundswells of idealism can play a major role in the post-cold-war world, backers say.
"This is a historic occasion," says Louise Doswald-Beck, who headed the International Committee of the Red Cross delegation here. "It is the first time we have ... a ban on a commonly used weapon. It shows that the interests of humanity can succeed over military and other interests."
After nearly three weeks of negotiation, during which the United States tried to water down the text, delegates yesterday formally approved a treaty strictly banning the use, production, storage, and transfer of antipersonnel land mines.
The document is airtight in that it covers all devices designed to explode when stepped upon. The only problem is that countries must sign the treaty to be bound by it. The US, Russia, China, India, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Israel, and a host of other nations, who account for more than half the world's population, have no intention of attending the signing ceremony in Ottawa in December.
The US argues that it needs nine years to phase out its mines, particularly those in South Korea that help defend the capital of Seoul, only 30 miles from the border with North Korea. The US has 37,000 troops stationed in South Korea.
"As commander in chief, I will not send our soldiers to defend the freedom of our people and the freedom of others without doing everything we can to make them as secure as possible," President Clinton said Wednesday in Washington, when it became clear that the conferees in Oslo would adopt a ban without the exceptions the US sought.
The US also said it could not give up weapons systems like the Gator, a canister containing dozens of antitank and antipersonnel mines that can be strewn from aircraft or delivered by artillery.
A 'moral responsibility'
"We went the extra mile and beyond to sign this treaty ... but there is a line I simply cannot cross," Mr. Clinton said. He said instead he would push for a treaty with more realistic terms in the United Nations Conference on Disarmament.
Norwegian Deputy Foreign Minister Jan Egeland says the US has distinguished itself from other heel-dragging countries by at least participating in the Oslo conference and lending support to the broad goal of reducing land-mine deaths.
"The US is not the big bad wolf here," Mr. Egeland says. "In all the countries I have visited to observe the effects of the antipersonnel land-mine plague, I have never encountered an American mine.
"I think the United States has a moral responsibility, though, to be a pathfinder for other countries that are part of the problem," he says.
Other diplomats pointed to Russia and China as black-market sources for land mines used indiscriminately in guerrilla conflicts on several continents. But crude mines are simple to make, even in the field, so most efforts to eradicate them have focused on stigmatizing use rather than hindering trade.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D) of Vermont says he will push for legislation forcing the Clinton administration to honor the ban as negotiated in Oslo.
No matter how many nations sign in December, the treaty will not take effect until six months after the 40th nation ratifies it. Since ratification in many countries is unpredictable and time consuming, even optimists expect at least two years to pass before a ban can be said to exist. A large majority of the 89 nations participating in Oslo supported the treaty, but because it was adopted by acclamation an exact count was unavailable.
More nations needed
"To be effective, the treaty must have a lot more countries on board than are here in Oslo," says John Campbell, the chief Australian delegate. "And in any case the suffering will continue for many years because the mines are still in the ground." Some 60 countries are riddled by an estimated 100 million mines, many hidden in uncharted fields from long-forgotten conflicts.
The United Nations estimated that some 25,000 people, mostly civilians, are killed or dismembered by mines every year. The most-endangered nations include Cambodia, Angola, Bosnia, and the Central American countries, all of which were eager supporters of a ban.
So arduous is the task of clearing mines that after two years of intensive effort Honduras has removed only 2,000 of an estimated 30,000 land mines left on its soil by warring Nicaraguan factions a decade ago.
Cambodia's chief delegate in Oslo, Sam Sotha, says mines and the fear of mines in otherwise tillable fields are "the single most significant factor in the impoverishment of the entire country."
Compliance comes later
The Oslo conference was part of a unique process instigated last year by Canadian Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy. The goal of the nations that answered his call to sidestep the stalled UN Conference on Disarmament was to achieve the strongest possible land-mine treaty text and to worry about compliance later.
Enthusiasts say it could be the model for dealing with other humanitarian crises.
"Since this was so successful, you can start to speculate about the future," says Austrian diplomat Thomas Hajnoczi.
"We have found a new way to do multilateral diplomacy that is much, much quicker than going through the usual institutional channels that require unanimity to proceed," Mr. Hajnoczi says.
Ms. Doswald-Beck notes that the US waited 50 years to sign a 1925 treaty banning chemical weapons, but the treaty nevertheless had the effect of a taboo. "We are convinced that the same thing can happen with the land-mine treaty," she says.
"In a very cynical world, in a very cynical century, we have to admit that most people respect the rules," says International Red Cross field surgeon Chris Giannou. "There are things that human beings should not do to each other, even in war."

the haunted man by bat for lashes
Natasha Khan, aka Bat For Lashes, delighted us with her 2006 debut, Fur & Gold for the marvelous combination of electronic arrangements and antique unknown instruments, such as the marxophone. In her follow-up, Two Suns, she continued using these techniques, but adding a peculiarity: Pearl, her alter-ego which gave double feelings of strangeness and an edgy sound to her music. Three years later, she is releasing The Haunted Man. Which is the difference between this album and her previous ones? A huge dose of hypnotizing charm.
Her first advance track, Laura, which can only be found in the special edition, immerse us into a simpler and fragile side of Khan. Though it is quite different to the rest of the record, led by a lonely piano, it showed us that on her new material we were going to discover a deeper side of her. And that is exactly what you get when you listen for the first time the breathtaking Lilies. The violins, which appear several times in this album, give a bright spirit to the melody which then evolves astonishingly into its maximum climate when she heartbreakingly sings in her already known high pitched tone: "Thank God I am alive!" All Your Gold was the second song we could listen to and the more I do, the more I think it is perfect to be a single, since the rhythm helps to make your feet move along and soon you'll be failing at trying to sing: "There was someone that I knew before, a heart from the past that I cannot forget."
There hasn't been a big change musically. However, this is the first time that it seems that the real Natasha Kahn is being completely exposed, which is surprising since this probably contains her more upbeat and danceable tunes. Throughout her career she has maintained the vibe of a mystic ritual at midnight – or at least that is the metaphorical atmosphere it transmits to me– which is formed thanks to her howling voice and the constant contrast of synthpop used in an unusual way. This is spotted clearly in the percussion, which includes drums machines, maracas, timpanis and even bells.
One of the things that called my attention was the male vocals, which she previously tried exploring with Scott Walker in The Big Sleep, from Two Suns. But this time they are featured in a different and much more interesting way. In the title track, the male vocals grow intensively, intermingling and supplementing each other, until she finally blooms into, "Still I'm holding in my hand, standing by my haunted man"; with the orchestral instruments and a marching drum that reinforce her to sound passively passionate.
With The Haunted Man, Bat For Lashes confirmed her place in the music scene: to be a mysteriously enchanting goddess. Fading slowly away in Deep Sea Diver, she leaves us satisfied with a gently glowing mood hoping she is back soon with more of her magic.

A personal plea from the Chairman....Can you help?
This season we have obtained a lease for 40 years on the ground from the East Herts District Council and are now in a position to apply for grants to refurbish and improve the facilities.
See the pictures in this news item from circa 1960 (thanks to Elaine Waumsley), which shows how the stadium looked when it was first built.
Hertford FC
Unfortunately, due to a lack of funds and maintenance it is now a shell of its former self, although we annually spend thousands of pounds on its upkeep, which is merely scratching the surface.
I have been assured that in time the ground was far better than a lot of the clubs in the old Division Four of the Football League and everyone cast an envious look at our facilities. Gone are the days in the early 60's when we had 10,000 supporters and gates of 2,000!
The main aim on the incumbent committee (who are all unpaid volunteers), is to rebuild the clubhouse, which in its heyday was open seven days a week for a variety of functions. Why it was never rebuilt after the fire in 1991 is beyond me!
Hertford town fire
We want to have the new clubhouse as a community centre for young and old. Playgroups for the youngsters, a centre for the OAPs, a youth club for teenagers etc, as well as sporting facilities for all; but without financial help this cannot happen. We do not get any help from the East Herts District Council (our landlords), nor the Government. So if you would like to have a centre for every age group in the vicinity we will need funding. This is the goal of the committee, we realise it will take a lot of time, effort and money, but we will not rest until this is accomplished.
We need people who are prepared to help us. Are you an architect, solicitor, financial director, builder, electrician, plumber, gardener or DIY enthusiast? Any form of assistance would be welcome.
If you can help us fulfil our goal and want to be of assistance, in any way, please use our Contact Us page to send a message.
Let us try and build something together for the community to make the town and surrounding areas of Hertford proud.
Thank you
Peter Sinclair
Hertford Town FC Chairman

Workplace and personal Safety
Unlock This Video Now for FREE
This video is normally available to paying customers.
You may unlock this video for FREE. Enter your email address for instant access AND to receive ongoing updates and special discounts related to this topic.
We are now going to look at security and your personal safety. Whether you are working alone or in an office, think about some of the main safety factors you need to consider.
Firstly, if you are working alone in the workplace, you need to make sure you keep your mobile phone with you or the radio or anything that you have got to be able to communicate with people. You also need to make sure people actually know where you are.
Another problem may be that the security guards have locked up certain areas, so make sure you don't get locked into a certain area and unable to get out.
Have a look around you and start planning what you would do in the event of an emergency. Make sure you have the contact numbers of anyone else you could call should there be any possible problems. If you are working at night alone, having security lighting outside can really help make it a lot safer when walking out to your car. CCTV, this can be a good deterrent as well as helping to find out what happened should anything happen.
Other areas that you need to look at is health and safety when you are working remotely. It may be you go out on-site to do a job. All the health and safety considerations at your normal place of work are going to be exactly the same if you are going to working away from work. On risk assessing, some may not apply but there may be new concerns.
Make sure you have adequate first aid equipment in your vehicle, all the right tools, the right communication equipment, make sure if you are going somewhere new, check the mobile phone signal, maybe you're going somewhere where there isn't any signal to make sure someone knows where you are and what time you expect to be back.
Maybe you are working in an area where you meet the public, maybe you're in a shop, you may well be fitted with or given a panic button.
This is a button you can push if you feel threatened in any way. It's not just looking at people within your workplace that will cause you problems it is maybe outsiders who have come in.
When you return to your car, take extreme care, if you have a handbag, make sure it is safe so no one can snatch it. Take the car keys out so you are ready to approach your car, unlock it and get in straight away. As soon as you get in the car make sure you lock the doors, and then start the engine and drive away. Make sure you are prepared and everything is ready.
Good general advice for security is to plan ahead. Always think of what possible sort of problems can happen and be ready just in case something did happen if you needed to make a quick exit or call the emergency services. Take a few moments now to prepare, and have a look at any possible risks that you would have in your business or workplace.
Look at any possible risks that are there and what you are going to do to avoid it. Just a simple little list now could save you a lot of time and a lot of potential problems later on and if you have any concerns about your personal security or the security of others, you must tell your manager.

Tribe Training with Trudy!
Now Introducing New Membership Opportunities!
Starts May 3!
CHAMP is thrilled to be rolling out new fitness opportunities! Many of you may know Trudy; she's been a member at CHAMP from the very beginning. Trudy is recently re-certified as an ACE Fitness Trainer and she can help you reach your next fitness level!
We will have the basic membership, a two tiered membership – Warrior, and three tiered membership – CHAMPION
What is Tribe Training?
Tribe Training is an exciting new opportunity for CHAMP members to experience personal training as a small group. When you sign up for Tribe Training you will get weekly sessions with your group for an entire month.
What types of exercises will be included?
We will utilize the new personal training space and use a variety of equipment from barbells to kettle bells, machines to medicine balls and beyond. If you have ever wondered what those ropes, sleds and other weird looking pieces of equipment are for, here is your chance to find out. Each session will be unique. Members will get to experience all types of training including tabata, HIIT, AMRAP, strength training, etc. And I will have some fun surprises too.
When will Tribe Training be offered?
We will begin Tribe groups in May. Initially sessions will be offered on Tuesdays at 1:00 pm and Fridays at 11:00 am. You must sign up in advance and come to the same time slot each week. More times can be added depending on member demand and feedback.
Why is group size limited?
Groups are limited to no larger than 8 people at a time. This will allow me to be able to give personalized attention to each member. .I will be able to coach for correct form and supervise everyone's movements through each exercise.
How is Tribe Training different from group fitness classes?
A group fitness class is choreographed and everyone is doing the same exercise at the same time. In training groups people may be doing different exercises at their own rate of speed, intensity and ability. Also, programs are customizable.
What are the advantages of small group personal training?
There are three major benefits that come to mind immediately. Affordability, motivation and variety.
Affordability: People shell out hundreds of dollars a month for personal trainers. With group training you share that cost with your group. And, I've done the math, Tribe Training is the best deal in town. It's a ridiculously good price for a month's worth of sessions.
Motivation: There is more energy in a group setting. Your work out partners help to motivate you and to help keep you accountable. You show up because you know your group is expecting you to be there. You may even work a little harder because you see how hard the rest of your Tribe is working. And it's just more fun to do things as a team.
Variety: I love group fitness classes and continue to do them as often as I can. Training mixes up my workouts and adds variety. I can target specific muscle groups or set a goal and crush it. Hitting the training room will help you take your fitness to the next level. Really, it's science! Your body will adapt to the specific demands placed on it (it's called the SAID principle, specific adaptation to imposed demands). Doing the same things all the time will result in exercise plateaus. You aren't getting any stronger, more muscular or can't lose any more weight because your body has become efficient enough to complete the workout you keep doing. Adding training sessions in addition to your regular classes will maximize your progress and you will see greater results.
How much does it cost?
Tribe Training will be an option you could include in your monthly membership if you sign up to be a Warrior or Champion level member at CHAMP. In addition, if someone wanted to just do group training for a month — say you have a spouse or friend who would never do a group fitness class but wants to work out with you — it would be $70.00. Either way it works out to $17.50 per session. Like I said, best personal training deal in town.
Will there be childcare available?
Yes there is childcare during the two Tribe Training times that are available right now. It is included with your membership.
How do I sign up?
There are sign up sheets at the front desk and soon you will be able to sign up online as well. First come first served
