Porcelain Dental Crowns
Porcelain dental crowns are frequently called caps because they fit over the top of the tooth just like a cap would. They are designed to encase the entire crown, or visible portion of the tooth, Our Northridge dental crowns expert may recommend using dental crowns if you have:
• Severely damaged teeth
• Teeth that have suffered extensive decay
• Teeth that are misshapen or severely discolored
• Missing teeth that you would like to replace with dental implants
• Missing teeth that you would like to replace with a fixed dental bridge
• A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy
Our Northridge porcelain crowns expert will evaluate your smile to determine the best treatment to restore and improve your smile. Porcelain crowns have many uses. When used with damaged, decayed or treated teeth, they can strengthen what is left of the tooth and restore the function and appearance of the tooth. They can conceal cosmetically flawed teeth to create a beautiful, natural-looking smile. They can be used with dental implants or to support a dental bridge to replace one or more missing teeth.
Porcelain Dental Crowns Northridge
If you are a candidate for a dental crown, our expert in dental crowns in Northridge will perform an evaluation of your teeth and may take dental X-rays to identify the underlying structures and ensure good dental health. If necessary, a root canal treatment may be performed to remove any decaying or infected tissues. The tooth will be prepared and shaped for the placement of the tooth. A dental impression will be taken to craft the new crown, and a temporary crown will be placed until the permanent crown is ready.
Once your crown has been bonded to your tooth, you can keep your smile healthy by brushing and flossing after meals. Visit our expert in porcelain crowns in Northridge twice a year for a dental exam and professional cleaning. If your crowns are supporting a dental bridge, you may need to take additional steps to ensure continued good dental health.

Yesterday, I just learned, was the hottest day we've had in the last decade. It sure felt like it. My kickboxing class has moved outdoors and yesterday when I couldn't hold a plank because my forearms kept slipping, I realised my arms and legs too were pouring sweat form every pore. I walked out at the end of class looking and feeling like someone had emptied a couple of buckets of water over me.
I like tropical weather because I'm not very good with cooler climes at all. So this weather is much more suited to my natural state of equilibrium. Except I'm increasingly realising that somewhere the balance is tipping. With every summer getting hotter than before I'm beginning to wonder just how much worse this can get. This year we've really felt the effects of stripped green-cover, vast areas of mushrooming construction and the temperatures this year have already broken several records.
Despite having faced five Goan summers and five hot Octobers, my memory for this kind of oppressive heat seems short. Summer comes and goes, and by October I am suffering all over again, like by body and mind has no memory of the summer just gone by, so it can accustom itself to it, to some measure. When October ends and the temperatures drop ever so gently, I behave like I'm being graced by winter, and it makes me forget the wretched climes we've just waved away. By summer, my memory is wiped clean, and the misery begins all over again.
October heat is a special variety of heat. It always feels like the most intense, hotly hot and painfully strong rays of the sun are saved up for this time of year. The light and heat doesn't slant down on us gently baking us to a crisp, so much as hit us directly, straight down, which makes it feel like you're in an overheated oven at all time. Burning to a crisp, faster than you know. Afternoon light hurts the eyes, staying out in the sun is physically painful, and most days end in exhaustion from not really doing much at all but just sitting in the heat.
As the day grows older, our house gets impossibly hotter. The oven that is my home (top floor, high ceiling, west facing — all the worst things) was hot enough to bake a something nice if I had just set it on my dining table long enough. It's not too bad until noon, but after that it begins to get physically uncomfortable to stay indoors and I have been cooking up reasons to get out in the evenings, only to come back in time to slip into the artificially cooled interiors of my bedroom.
I've become slightly obsessed with tracking the weather. Because its been so erratic and unpredictable, for one. And also because I totally feel overpowered by it, here in Goa. Doing outdoorsy things means checking how hot its going to be. Picking a dinner place means thinking extra hard for a place that's good for dinner and is air-conditioned. Going out to work in a cafe means planning it at a time of day when I'm not going to spend my time fighting exhaustion from just being outdoors.
Yesterday really did feel like the hottest day in a while, and despite not having any plans, we set out for dinner in another attempt to escape the heat that was getting impossible to bear. Over dinner I told VC that I'd really like to pick a place that has a real winter, for our next move.
He nearly choked on his thai chicken.
I'm the joker who goes to Delhi in October and worries about not having enough warm clothes. A few visits there in the months approaching winter, I found myself bundled in layers and layers of clothes, and still feeling miserable when I have to take my pants off and sit on a cold pot, for example. Or I have to brush my teeth before I go to bed. Or like when I was at a winter wedding, dressed in all my finery, only to cover it all up in a thick brown shawl. We've put off a trip to Leh for years on end now because I wonder if I will be that odd case that will go all the way and just not be able to do anything because even the slightest dip in temperatures has a debilitating effect on me. Living in a hot tropical beach town doesn't help. It's weaned me off even the pleasant Bangalore winter, and last year when I visited home in December, I roamed about my house in a sweater and socks.
But like I said that inner equilibrium seems to have tipped. Something has shifted, and I am tired of feeling constantly sweaty and exhausted from just not doing much. So much energy is spent in just tiding through the day, I can't imagine what I'd do if I had a job that was physically strenuous. This year I clutched on to the delayed and weaker-than-usual monsoon we had, and I realise I love the break from the heat. When August ends and the heat starts spiking again, I begin to dread October. It's a generally unproductive time, everything around me seems parched and everybody unfiromly has the same complain on their lips — want this month to be over already!
In all these years in Goa, the heat hasn't affected me so deeply as it did this year. I see pictures of autumn leaves, signs of cooler weather, thick sweaters, woolen caps and food blogs about pumpkin soup and the like and my heart aches for some cooler weather. Like I told VC last night, being subjected to hot weather 10 months of the year is pretty life-altering. I own no winter clothes. I barely ever wear jeans. I love soup, but cannot get myself to cook and consume it often enough. We think and re-think holidays depending on how similar or different the weather will be compared to home. We give up on so many little things we want to do on an every day basis, with a casual oh, it's too hot for that today.
It's clear I hate this time of year even more than summer. It really does feel like the collective intnsity of four months of summer is sort of squished into this single month. I hate it with a vengeance. There's just one thing I love about October in Goa. And it's the October skies.
Four out of five days put up a spectacular show. Sunsets are distractingly gorgeous and unnaturally bright and beautiful. It's like natures way of fooling you into thinking there's something beautiful about the day gone by. I've fallen for this only too many times.
I'd really like the next place we live in to be one that has a good variety of weather. A solid few months of cooler weather would be such a welcome change. I want to be able to bundle myself up in sweaters, drink soup and take walks without sweating. October skies would only just be a welcome bonus.

Estonian domestic capital based Napal Ltd. was founded in 1993. Company's main business areas are import, distribution, installation and servicing of heating equipment.
During the recent years, the company has bee more increasingly acting as main contractor in boiler houses and cogeneration plants area.
In 1998, we started to develop electrical and automation design and construction area in our company. Today we have extensive experience on automation and electrification of industrial installations. In many occasions, the clean visual appearance of our installations has been highlighted. We are empowered to complete the installation sites from the very beginning of design through to the automation system programming (PLC), visualization (SCADA), start-up and fine tuning. Naturally we perform all the rest of works between the beginning and the end (preparation of enclosures, cable tray installation, etc.).
In 1999, we became authorized reseller of Vacon, the well-known Finnish manufacturer of frequency converters. At the end of 2010, we established respectable stock of different transformers, which in addition to the local market is covering also the needs of Latvian and Lithuanian retailers. For more information on these products, please visit www.vacon.ee.
In 2001, our service area was enlarged to road construction supervision and design of roads.
Till today, we have commissioned more than 1,000 MW of the new boiler house and nearly 500 MW of renovated boiler house capacities (including single KVGM 50 boiler, two PTVM 100 boilers, 100 MW peak power boiler in Ahtme, etc.).
Another specific sector in our operations includes thermal oil boiler houses erected for petroleum products terminals. These boilers are replacing the less economical steam boiler plants.
Gaining such a high market share had been possible due to running of the high quality 24-hour service system.
By 2008, the number of service sites had been risen to a level (today, more than 100 sites), which required establishment of the separate company. For this, we established Napal Service OÜ.
Our technical solutions for installation sites are based in particular on the customer's wishes, and are supplemented with our long-time experience. If necessary, we consult with our international partners. Our experience includes cooperation with top specialists of their fields from Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and France. We are following closely the overall technical progress, in order to provide our customers with reliable, convenient and environmentally friendly solutions.

We had a fun Halloween weekend this year…and given that Jonah got a stomach bug last Halloween and missed out on the festivities, I'd say it was a million times better than last year! We missed our annual trip to the pumpkin patch, but we picked apples early and found a nice, small pumpkin there. Then I found an even bigger and better one at the grocery store on Friday, so we had fun carving it on Halloween morning. I was impressed that Jonah drew the face all by himself this year!
On Saturday evening our sweet neighbors volunteered to host everyone for food and games before the main event of trick or treating. The boys were beyond excited to see all their friends in costume and they had a blast at the party.
We ended the evening on a trick or treating "trek" around our neighborhood and the village nearby. Trick or treating is not very common here, but because of the large amount of expats in the area there are neighborhoods and pockets all around Geneva and the surrounding villages that participate. We got lucky and hit about 10 houses all in one neighborhood, but then had a looong walk to end at the village next to us where the Dads were waiting while
drinking beer and watching sports passing out candy. 😉 Luckily the kids were all wired with excitement so there were no complaints about the long trek. It's funny because what they got wouldn't have even compared to the haul they would have made in the States, but my boys have never trick or treated in the US and the other kids who have did not seem in the slightest bit disappointed. For them, the evening was a big success and loads of fun.
On Sunday Lukasz left for a business trip, but I ended the festive weekend with the boys at a Trunk or Treat organized by Lukasz's work. The kids scored loads of candy, stuffed their faces with snacks, and had fun in the costume parade.
At this point Mason was beyond done with posing for pictures in his costume, but you get the idea. 😉 We had a great Halloween and I'm so happy that even far from home in a country that doesn't really celebrate this holiday our boys got to experience some real Halloween fun!

Microsoft. Yes, Microsoft. You know them from the great Windows-7 debacle. You trust them to install and run spyware on your computer. You loved their Windows-10 auto-upgrade plan, though you were a little concerned about the huge volume of data downloaded.
And now Microsoft are offering to assist in optimizing your web page. Remember, your web page is great, so if you are not getting the traffic you want then it is obviously someone else's fault.
Well, we will not waste time pointing fingers. Instead, we will waste money by sending it to smelly little scammers, located in remote foreign lands, who happily send pink e-mails promoting SEO wizardry. In keeping with the Microsoft traditions of quality, many of the words are spelled correctly.
So, having determined that you need a dodgy SEO expert, why not pick the best? You can pick one who qualifies as a Microsoft Partner ® and so gets to use a Microsoft Outlook or Hotmail maildrop. There is no reason not to insist on the best.
With that decided, all you need to do now is decide which smelly little scammer gets your money:
Get in touch with the SEO experts. They will furnish all the information you need to send money abroad. If you are feeling really bold, you could even allow these people to touch your web site. If you do that and people find out, then you will be considered mentally ``special''.

|Softlips® Lip Balm
Thanksgiving is really just the pre-cursor to the holiday that we are all REALLY looking forward to... Christmas.
I was hoping to find a holiday item to post about but, with hours of research under my belt, I couldn't find anything truly blog-worthy. However, now that the colder weather is upon and the heat is on, I want to let you know about my best-kept, kissable secret: Softlips® Lip Balm. It is perfect for under the mistletoe.
I love, love, love this lip balm and have been using it for the better part of the decade. For real! I keep one in my desk at work, one in my car, one on my night stand and one in my make-up bag. I am not joking.
According to its website, Softlips® goes beyond moisturizing and protection with a collection of flavors and tints that areperfect for your every mood and moment. So irresistible. So versatile. So you.TM
In honor of the season, Softlips® is offering several holiday flavors: Sugar and Spice; Sugar Plum Berry; Winter Mint; and Sugar Cookie and everything nice; yet my all-time favorite is Vanilla.
Who did you see Santa kissing underneath the mistletoe? It wasn't me!


text: This paper studies how the idea of space (such as involved in a controversy about the location of a hight-tension power line in Normandy) contributes to remodeling and reorienting the controversy, as much as the controversy remodels and orients the space. The base of the study was a sociological approach to science and technology. Thought, as our analysis progresses, the idea of place (instead of space) seems better adapted to explain the complexity of the geography of the controversy. The place translates the capacity to contain all of these heterogeneus elements and to re-organize them.

Feldard eyed the guard with a scowl and for a moment considered telling the others to continue on without him but that would mean he would not be present when the others met with Nicolai's mother.. that wouldn't do.
The dwarf stomped his way over to the scribe and gruffly gave his name and handed over his crossbow and his two axes. "If they are tampered with in anyway, YOU.." Feldard pointed to the guard, "will find out quickly that this dwarf doesn't need weapons to upset your precious peace."
Stephan muttered under his breath and followed Feldard's lead in allowing the town's guard to register his bow and arrows.
He followed along with the group, keeping an eye on the townsfolk. Upon seeing where their weapons would be kept, he said "Da. I'll be on my way then. Back for my things soon."
Hasan and Ludo followed suit, quietly handing the guard their bows. The scribe recorded their names and confiscated weapons in her ledger.
"We don't need to all stay and present at the court, do we?" asked Stephan, turning to his companions. "I'll go with Feldard to Nicolai's mother's place. We'll meet back here at the third hour."
Ludo muttered to Stephen. "Yes, but what will Arthol say? He has in effect 'asked' us to accompany him, I doubt he will agree to you and Feldard splitting off after we 'demand' to go to the Clerical Court."
While Feldard only wanted to be done with this place as quick as possible, he wasn't willing to split off from Maruc and the main group. Maruc had stretched the truth a bit, by telling the guard that he, Feldard, was his personal bodyguard. Feldard wasn't about to let the cleric be caught in a lie by leaving his side just as he was going to see this Court of Clerics. "Where Maruc goes, so do I—you know that, Stephan," Feldard answered loud enough for the city guard to overhear. "Nicolai's remains will wait. Plus do you REALLY want to be without the priest when you tell her that her son died? Not I," he added softly.
Stephan knew all too well when he was defeated in an argument. He grunted acquiescence and stood near the back of the group, watching with some curiosity the goings on.
Arthol and his contingent of men held their posts on the wharf until another group of guards showed up to take their place. All dressed uniformly in white surcoats over chain mail, they saluted one another and then Arthol explained the situation.
"This lot be raisin' a ruckus 'bout surrenderin' their arms. That one," said Arthol, indicating Maruc, "seems to be the ringleader. We be goin' to Town Hall to see what the clerics make of this."
They started off into town. Hoisting his backpack, Ludo wondering where the spies were that Golthar had most likely hired were watching from. He felt strangely nervous about entering town and wondered if perhaps buying Arthol a few drinks later might reveal some information about Golthar's whereabouts. A man of his description should not be hard to find, especially having traveled to Threshold on a flying carpet.
In the meantime, he followed the guards and the group to the Clerical Court. As they walked through the bustling streets, he turned to Miklos, "This could go badly for us, its much better to obey the law when they watching, and do what you like when they are not".
Feldard followed the group, his scowl would remain in place for the entirety of their guided walk into town.
Ludo chuckled, "Feldard, maybe they have heard of your reputation with that axe and figure that this is the best way to keep the peace. You should take it as a compliment."
The elf fell into step with the troops and trudged through the town, bristling as he heard the little boys heckle the group of "five men traveling with one girl — she must be tired! how desperate can they be?" He didn't care that the boys had seen so few elves they thought he was a girl. The elf turned in fury to Feldard, "Your stubbornness will be the death of us yet, dwarf! Would it kill you to enter somewhere quietly, even once?!" The boys in the crowd tittered more, and the butt of a guard's spear dug deep into the small of Hasan's back. The elf stumbled forward again, quietly.
"Is it my fault the folk here are ninnies? They cower from an axe yet think nothing of allowing those with swords into their city freely," the dwarf retorted.
As they walked to the clerical court, Ludo kept a wary eye out for land marks and suspicious faces in the crowd, sadly having the guard 'escorting' new arrivals to the town was making that job impossible, as it seemed that everyone in town was congregating to see what the fuss was about. Sadly Ludo's thoughts of sneaking quietly into town, conducting their business and leaving just as quietly without fuss had just gone up in smoke. Golthar would know all about their arrival now.
Maruc remained aloof and silent in front of the guards. He wasn't really one for trouble making but he felt he needed to teach this sergeant a lesson in deference.
Finally, they arrived at the Town Hall, located in the center of the frontier town. One of the few stone buildings in Threshold, four guards were positioned outside. They saluted Arthol and he led the way inside. Throughout their walk and particularly inside the hall, it was clear that he was well known and respected by his fellow guards and city officials as he gruffly returned the salutes and greetings he received along the way.
The clerical court was comprised of five clerics appointed by Patriarch Sherlane. Charged with overseeing the running of the town, they took a dim view of lawbreakers.
Normally, they would have required an appointment, but apparently it was a relatively slow day and after Arthol conversed with one of the bailiffs, they were brought into one of the courtrooms.
after description of court and introductions of key characters…
Arthol started right in, quickly, and gruffly stating the matter as he saw it. "This here man seeks to be bringin' illegal weapons inside the town borders. His whole crew be lookin' suspicious to my eye," he said gesturing to his non-patched eyeball, "but all of 'em have complied, 'cept for him. I'm happy to be rid o' the lot of 'em and leave them to ye to deal with."
The priestly judge nodded at Arthol and then turned to hear what Maruc had to say.
"I must have the honour of being in the presence of The High Court of the Most Holy Patriarch Sherlane? I give you greetings and and prayers from my Abbot who resides in a modest quarter of Specularum. Thank you for your servants' … kind invitation to visit your city. He was however somewhat robust in his respect for the cloth. I very much doubt that your Holinesses would have him disrespect those of a …higher station? It would surprise me greatly that, although his loyalty is beyond question, his freedom to treat the priesthood in the manner demonstrated to me …. was what you desired."
"If I have caused offense by showing my feelings to this servant then I beg your forgiveness. This is but a small matter, and he has my weapon. But I felt this matter deserved some small moment of your attention. I shall pray for his misguided soul and this matter will not reach the ears of the clergy of Specularum as I know the special relationship that dwells within the hearts of all clergy."
Maruc affected a brave but slightly hurt face for a few moments before dropping his eyes in a solemn gesture. "Mere greetings is not all I have to bring to your attention Most Holy. Firstly, a brave companion of mine has fallen in battle against an evil….wizard." Maruc paused. "I have brought his ashes for his mother to bury. The wizard was vanquished and my companions and I are hunting out his Dark Brothers who have infested these lands. Despite the best efforts of the soldiery of the Divine Duke Stefan." Maruc looked up into the eyes of the Patriarch
"This brings me to my second reason for standing before you. We have uncovered the identity of one such Dark Brother who was seen entering Threshold. I seek your permission to bring this man to Holy justice. He is a dangerous and powerful Wizard and will stop at nothing to gain his own ends. He can call on vast numbers of indoctrinated slaves and I fear what mischief he will cause within your walls."
Maruc knelt. "Your holiness, do we have your permission to continue our Holy quest?"
Miklos winced behind his hand at Maruc's out of character bluster. There must be some reason for this as the cleric was normally is that enthusiastic about violence. Perhaps these last few months have opened his eyes to the world. But something about what his was donning smacked of manipulation. Like he wanted to see the Patriarch and didn't want to wait for an audience. Either Maruc was stupid and was going to end up in a cell or Miklos was witnessing a master stoke of political wiles.
Time would tell. While he slunk along behind Lucius making himself as unobtrusive as possible, he wondered also if this bluster was almost aimed at taking attention away from him? Either way Miklos distanced himself from Maruc.
The curate regarded Maruc inquisitively. "Specularum, you say? What order be you?"

Syria conflict: Strikes hit Syrian airfield, state media report
Several people have died or were injured after a military airport in Syria came under missile attack, the country's state media reported.State news agency SANA said several missiles struck the Tayfur airbase, also known as T4, near the city of Homs in the early hours of Monday.Details are still emerging and it is not clear who is responsible.It follows international alarm over a suspected chemical attack on the rebel-held town of Douma.Suspected Syria chemical attack kills scoresUS president Donald Trump branded Syria's President Assad an "animal" on Sunday, warning that he, along with allies Iran and Russia, had a "big price to pay".

Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price…— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2018

End of Twitter post 2 by @realDonaldTrump
Mr Trump and France's President Emmanuel Macron issued a joint statement the same day vowing to "coordinate a strong, joint response" to the alleged attack. But US officials have denied launching a missile attack."At this time, the Department of Defense is not conducting air strikes in Syria," the Pentagon said in a statement."However, we continue to closely watch the situation and support the ongoing diplomatic efforts to hold those who use chemical weapons, in Syria and otherwise, accountable."Syria's state news agency initially called the reported missile strike on the Tayfur airfield a "suspected US attack," but later dropped the reference to the US. In April 2017, the US fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Syria's Shayrat military airfield in response to a chemical weapons attack on a different rebel-held town, Khan Sheikhoun.Israel carried out major strikes on Syrian targets earlier this year.What happened in Douma?Medical sources say dozens of people were killed on Saturday in the attack on Douma, in the Eastern Ghouta region.One video, recorded by rescue workers known as the White Helmets, shows a number of men, women and children lying lifeless inside a house, many with foam at their mouths.However, it has not been possible to verify independently what actually happened, or the actual number of dead.Both Syria and Russia deny a chemical attack took place, and have reached an evacuation deal with the rebels who hold Douma.The UN Security Council is expected to discuss the crisis on Monday.

When your blog has the tagline "when stuff comes in, this is what comes out," you are often dealing with a lot of stuff. Most of the stuff makes it to this blog in the form of the two hundred and forty-nine posts (soon to be plus one) that have been published. But my mind is restless. There are plenty of things I could write about, but I either don't have time, or I don't flesh the ideas out enough to make it to publish. So what we have here is a kind of cleaning out of the junk drawer. Only the junk drawer is in my head.
- I can't say that I've been watching the numerous debates and town halls on television as the country lurches toward November's elections. I get the sense that there isn't a whole lot of substance in these televised circus acts/reality shows, but what I am also getting a sense of is that I really don't feel all that enthusiastic about any of the candidates for President. I, like many, am amazed at how well Donald Trump has done; while I am not a fan, he is giving his constituency what it wants. And that makes me very nervous, whether he wins or loses. The fact that there is a large group of Americans who would rather be right as opposed to working together on some of its problems makes me fearful for our future. In fact, it's this kind of obstructionism and failure to make any meaningful progress that is making people feel unease. When you'd rather shout at each other about being right, instead of working to find common ground and do what is best for the people, well this is the kind of government we get. And we all lose. Remember, we all have more that unites us than divides us. But like this? WE ALL LOSE.
- Related: did we really need all these debates and town halls? They have been going on since the middle of LAST YEAR—with the election over one year away! Now that it is dragging closer to November, I think many of us are tired of the soundbite politics that these carnival shows are set up to provide us.
- I was feeling a little anxious recently about some personal issues that I've been dealing with, when I was reminded that I can get through all of them by just focusing on what needs to be done, being mindful of the moment and just letting some things go. And while the issues haven't completely gone away, I know that I will be fine, regardless of what happens. I have taken some steps forward in dealing with a few of the things that seem to be worrying me, and I like the progress I am making. So for now, I'm trying to be content with what I have and where I am, while looking to continue to improve and go forward.
- As many of you have no doubt noticed, the blog has become very music heavy recently. That may be by design; I am fond of music and I love writing about it. With the ability to hear music every day on the job, and with music always around even on off hours, it would be foolish to ignore its call to my sensors. One song that I've wanted to feature on the blog, but haven't quite figured out how to write about it is by The Foreign Exchange. From their latest album Tales From The Land Of Milk And Honey, the song "Body" exemplifies what is now called R&B for the "grown & sexy." Unlike some albums from the past year, I did get to listen to and enjoy this one very much. I've been a fan since Leave It All Behind was released back in 2008, and even went back and got the first album, Connected. Needless to say, I've gotten every album since then.
Not bad for a group formed when lead singer Phonte Coleman asked Nicolay (born Matthijs Rook in the Netherlands) if he could vibe over a beat he had heard from him over the internet.
- It is probably wise not to put too much stock in the first week of baseball preseason games, but the Baltimore Orioles are already making me nervous. The first week of games has seen the pitching staff get rocked regularly—but again, it's the first week of preseason games. No need to panic yet. Opening day is a few weeks off. If the balls are flying off the bats like that when the games count, then I'll have reason to worry. Until then, get ready for the season, and let's go O's!

Excerpts From the Graduation SpeechTo Parachute Training Facility ClassOf Fort Benning, GA, April, 1998By 0. B. Hill
You know that now you can wear the wings of a qualified jumper. You are a paratrooper. One of America's finest. ..
Troopers are a special breed. … They have a special spring in their step. They walk more erect. They take more pride in their uniform....
You are all better educated than we were back in the early forties. You are supplied with equipment that is superior to any in the world. You are in better physical condition. You share the same spirit, but you have many more things to your advantage. ... You are the finest soldiers of today and we are very proud of you. ...
After leaving Benning, you will learn yet another part of life in the airborne. There is a special bond between you and troopers of other countries. In many cases, this bond feels stronger than family ties. ... This bond will remain with you throughout life. I can assure you that all veterans in this group today feel a special bond with our visiting British paratroopers. ... It is always good to get together with airborne people.
It is now my pleasure to welcome you into the world of the airborne soldier ... From all who have gone this way before, I wish each of you, "Best airborne wishes and soft landings always."

An employee who entered into a lump-sum settlement agreement under G. L. c. 152, Section 48, in redemption of his employer's liability for medical expenses and workmen's compensation benefits arising out of a work-related injury, would be entitled to have the agreement set aside on the ground of mutual mistake of fact, upon proof that the parties did not intend to release liability for an existing serious injury of which they were unaware at the time of entering the agreement. [257-260]
Where the language of a lump-sum settlement agreement pursuant to G. L. c. 152, Section 48, did not unambiguously indicate whether the parties, an employee and his employer's workmen's compensation insurer, intended to discharge liability for an existing serious injury of which they were unaware, the employee, in an action to set aside the agreement on the ground of mutual mistake, would be entitled to introduce extrinsic evidence on the question whether the parties had a conscious and deliberate intention to release claims for injuries existing but not known to them at the time of the agreement. [260-261]
CIVIL ACTION commenced in the Superior Court Department on May 18, 1981.
The case was heard by Hiller B. Zobel, J., on a motion for summary judgment.
The Supreme Judicial Court on its own initiative transferred the case from the Appeals Court.
Page 255
Thomas B. Benjamin (Daniel Burnstein with him) for the plaintiff.
Andre A. Sansoucy (Richard L. Neumeier with him) for the defendants.
HENNESSEY. C.J. The issue presented by this case is whether a settlement agreement may be set aside on the ground of mutual mistake where the parties were unaware at the time of entering the agreement that the injured person had suffered a serious and unknown injury.
In January, 1975, Michael LaFleur suffered a work-related injury when a forklift blade fell on his right foot. The company doctor told LaFleur that the injury was superficial, and that an X-ray showed no fracture or other complications. LaFleur returned to work within two weeks but continued to experience pain. A doctor from his employer's insurance carrier told LaFleur that he was suffering from a sprain of his great right toe. LaFleur was offered a desk job, but was discharged in May, 1976, upon his failure to report for work.
In August, 1976, after filing a claim with the Industrial Accident Board, LaFleur entered into a lump-sum agreement with the employer's insurer in the amount of $4,000. The agreement recited that the payment was "in redemption of the liability for all weekly payments now or in the future due me under the Workmen's Compensation Act, for all injuries" received from the industrial accident. The agreement further provided that LaFleur understood "that this is a complete and final settlement of my claim and that I will not be able to reopen my claim or seek further benefits because of this injury." The Industrial Accident Board approved the agreement pursuant to G. L. c. 152, Section 43 (1984 ed.), in November, 1976. [Note 2]
After entering into this agreement, LaFleur experienced increasing pain in his right foot. In January, 1977, LaFleur was
Page 256
diagnosed as having arterial occlusive (Buerger's) disease. Several operations to combat this problem were unsuccessful. As a result of this disease, LaFleur eventually had both of his legs amputated above the knees. LaFleur is permanently confined to a wheelchair.
LaFleur filed a complaint in Superior Court against the employer and its insurer, requesting that the lump-sum settlement agreement be rescinded on the ground of mutual mistake, and that the case be recommitted to the Industrial Accident Board. LaFleur moved for partial summary judgment, and submitted in support thereof the affidavit of Dr. Edward D. Frank, an assistant professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School and surgeon at Beth Israel Hospital. Dr. Frank attested that he had examined LaFleur, and had concluded that LaFleur's arterial occlusive disease existed at the time of the accident, but had not been diagnosed "because the disease is rare and difficult to detect." Dr. Frank further attested that the forklift accident had injured LaFleur's arterial system and had aggravated the preexisting arterial disease. The injury to the arterial system was "completely separate, and distinct in nature" form the sprained toe which was diagnosed after the accident. Finally, Dr. Frank attested that the forklift accident was causally related to the amputation of LaFleur's legs. [Note 3] LaFleur also introduced the defendants' answers to the plaintiff's interrogatories, as well as LaFleur's own affidavit, which indicated that none of the parties knew at the time the settlement was executed that LaFleur was afflicted with Buerger's disease, or that the forklift accident had aggravated this condition.
The judge denied LaFleur's motion for summary judgment, and entered judgment for the defendants. The judge reasoned that "[a]n incorrect prediction of the future, notwithstanding the inaccuracy proceeds from mutual ignorance of an essential
Page 257
fact, is not grounds for setting aside a release which the parties have fairly and freely undertaken. . . . Here, the parties, each represented by counsel, struck a bargain. Plaintiff received compensation for his injuries; the insurer obtained a release from further liability. The one could not complain if the amount of the lump-sum agreement turned out to be too small, nor the other if the amount was, on hindsight, too large." LaFleur appealed from this judgment, and we transferred the case here on our own motion. We reverse.
Under G. L. c. 152, Section 48, the parties to a worker's compensation claim may enter into a lump-sum agreement in redemption of the employer's liability for medical expenses and benefits. Once approved by the board, this agreement precludes reopening of the case except upon a showing of fraud or mutual mistake. [Note 4] Hansen's Case, 350 Mass. 178, 180 (1966). Cook's Case, 19 Mass. App. Ct. 986, 988 (1985). Jurisdiction to set aside the lump-sum agreement on either of these equitable grounds rests with the Superior Court. Perkins's Case, 278 Mass. 294, 299 (1932). O'Reilly's Case, 258 Mass. 205, 209 (1927).
The legal principles underlying the doctrine of mutual mistake are well established. Where there has been a mistake

between the parties as to the subject matter of a contract, there has been no "meeting of the minds," and the contract is voidable at the election of the party adversely affected. Jeselsohn v. Park Trust Co., 241 Mass. 388, 392 (1922). 13 S. Williston, Contracts Section 1535 (2d ed. 1970). The mistake must be shared by both parties, and must relate to an essential element of the agreement. Century Plastic Corp. v. Tupper Corp., 333 Mass. 531, 534 (1956). Cavanagh v. Tyson, Weare & Marshall Co., 227 Mass. 437, 444 (1917). See generally Restatement (Second) of Contracts Section 152 (1975). The mistake must involve a fact capable of ascertainment at the time the contract was entered into, and not a mere expectation or opinion about future events. Cook v. Kelley, 352 Mass. 628, 632 (1967). Aldrich v. Travelers Ins. Co., 317 Mass. 86, 88 (1944). A contract will not be rescinded for mutual mistake where one party was aware at the time the contract was signed that he had limited knowledge as to essential facts, but nonetheless assumed the risk that circumstances would prove to be other than as expected. Aldrich, supra. Covich v. Chambers, 8 Mass. App. Ct. 740, 749 (1979). See Maloney v. Sargisson, 18 Mass. App. Ct. 341, 346 (1984). See generally Restatement (Second) of Contracts Section 156, comment a (1975).
In Tewksbury v. Fellsway Laundry, Inc., 319 Mass. 386 (1946), we declined to set aside a release for personal injuries on the ground of mutual mistake. The minor plaintiff had been struck and injured by a truck owned by the defendant. Her injuries were diagnosed as "abrasion of face and right hip, laceration in right groin, and fracture of the right femur." Id. at 387. She settled her claim against the defendant for $1,850, and executed a release in complete discharge of her claim for damages "ensuing from the aforementioned accident." Id. "Thereafter . . . , the plaintiff became afflicted with an `aggravated and perilous condition of osteomyelitis of the right leg . . . directly, solely and exclusively a result of the accident.'" Id. at 387-388. The plaintiff brought a bill in equity seeking rescission of the release on the ground of mutual mistake. We held that "[t]he great weight of authority supports the view that a release of a claim for personal injuries cannot be avoided
Page 259
merely because the injuries proved more serious than the releasor believed them to be at the time of executing the release, and that, in order to invalidate a release on account of mutual mistake, the mistake must relate to a past or present fact material to the contract and not to an opinion respecting future conditions as a result of present facts." Id. at 389. Because the plaintiff's osteomyelitis developed after the accident and execution of the release, id. at 387, any misapprehension by the parties related to a future condition, and not to a fact capable of ascertainment at the time of contract.
In Tewksbury, we were confronted with a situation in which the consequences of an injury turned out to be more serious than expected. [Note 5] In this case, however, we are dealing with a separate condition which existed and yet was unknown to the parties at the time of contract. Although this presents a question of first impression in this Commonwealth, the great weight of authority in other jurisdictions supports the view that a release of claims for personal injuries may be avoided on the ground of mutual mistake if the parties at the time of signing the agreement were mistaken as to the existence of an injury, as opposed to the unknown consequences of known injuries. See Evans v. S. J. Groves & Sons, 315 F.2d 335, 339-341 (2d Cir. 1963) (latent head injury); Great N. Ry. v. Reid, 245 F. 86, 89 (9th Cir. 1917) (unknown hernia); Casey v. Proctor, 59 Cal. 2d 97, 110-112 (1963) (unknown fractured vertebrae);

Co., 368 Mich. 253, 258 (1962) (unknown brain injury); Doud v. Minneapolis St. Ry., 259 Minn. 341, 346 (1961) (thoracic aneurysm); Frahm v.

Contra Trevathan v. Tesseneer, 519 S. W. 2d 614, 615 (Ky. 1975) ("[g]eneral judicial reluctance in Kentucky to invalidate a release for personal injury claims on the basis of mistake"). See generally 6 A. Corbin, Contracts Section 1291 (1962); Restatement (Second) of Contracts Section 152 comment f (1975).
Of course, the intention of the parties is controlling, and the relevant inquiry is whether there has been a conscious and deliberate intention by the parties to release claims for injuries existing but not known to them at the time of the agreement. [Note 6] See Shea v. Bay State Gas Co., 383 Mass. 218, 225 (1981) (citing basic rules of contract construction). In this case, the release itself does not clearly or unambiguously indicate that the parties intended to discharge liability for the unknown injury to LaFleur's arterial system; rather, the standardized form of the Division of Industrial Accidents merely released claims "for all injuries received by Michael LaFleur on or
Page 261
about January 21 and February 15, 1975." Extrinsic evidence may thus be introduced to ascertain whether the parties intended to release liability for LaFleur's unknown injury. See Mickelson v. Barnet, 390 Mass. 786, 792 (1984) (parol evidence rule no bar to the consideration of extrinsic evidence of intent when mistake is alleged). Factors which should be considered on this issue include the language of the agreement; the circumstances of its negotiation and execution, including the legal representation of the parties; the seriousness of the unknown injury; and the consideration paid to the plaintiff for the release of the defendants' liability. The inquiry should include a consideration as to whether the plaintiff suffers from an unknown injury which is so serious as to indicate clearly that, if it had been known, the release would not have been signed.
Our analysis of the doctrine of mutual mistake leads us to adopt the "unknown injury" rule followed by most other jurisdictions. [Note 7] Therefore, we think the judge erred [Note 8] in entering
Page 262
judgment for the defendants. It seems evident that the judge interpreted (we think incorrectly) our holding in Tewksbury to preclude rescission of a release on the basis of newly discovered injuries irrespective of whether these injuries existed before, or arose after the release was signed. [Note 9] By application of the "unknown injury" rule, it is clear that there is a genuine factual issue presented on the record which precludes summary judgment for the defendants. Mass. R. Civ. P. 56 (c), 365 Mass. 824 (1974). See DeVaux v. American Home Assurance Co., 387 Mass. 814, 817 (1983).
The judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded to the Superior Court for trial, where LaFleur bears the burden of proving that the industrial accident aggravated a preexisting Buerger's disease unknown to the parties, and that the parties did not intend to discharge any claims for these specific medical consequences. [Note 10] If LaFleur prevails on his claim of mutual mistake and the settlement agreement is rescinded, he will be entitled to have his case remanded to the Industrial Accident Board.
So ordered.
[Note 1] The Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company.
[Note 2] The agreement recited the following reasons why the settlement was in LaFleur's best interests: "The insurer questions the causal relation and extent of this disability because the employee was having problems with his left foot which was not involved in the work injury and a doctor at Tufts Medical felt poor footwear might be causing the problem. The insurer feels that the employee at least has an earning capacity and at best he is only partially disabled. The settlement is entered into to resolve the issues."
[Note 3] According to Dr. Frank's affidavit, the forklift accident aggravated the Buerger's disease and injured LaFleur's arterial system, leading to the amputation of his right leg in 1979. Due to added stress to LaFleur's left leg as a result of this operation, the underlying arterial disease in the left leg was aggravated. As a result, LaFleur underwent an amputation operation on his left leg in 1980.
[Note 4] In December, 1985, the Legislature amended G. L. c. 152, Section 48, by St. 1985, c, 572, Section 52, expanding the section to six numbered paragraphs, and making substantial additions and deletions. Paragraph (2) provides in part: "No lump sum agreement made prior to the establishment of liability for compensation shall prohibit an employee from subsequently filing a claim for medical benefits only, in any instance in which such employee has suffered a substantial deterioration of his medical condition which (i) could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time said agreement was entered into, (ii) is the result of an injury for which the insurer would have been liable under this chapter, absent the lump sum settlement. Claims under this paragraph shall be considered only if brought within one year of the date the employee first became aware of the causal relationship between the substantial deterioration and the employment. Claims shall be consistent with the procedures set forth in sections ten, ten A, and eleven. No liability for such claims shall be redeemed by any additional lump sum settlement."
This new provision, which provides for the reopening of certain settlements before the Industrial Accident Board (rather than the Superior Court) does not take effect until November 1, 1986, and therefore does not affect the rights and duties of the parties to this action.
[Note 5] There is language in the Tewksbury decision which might indicate that the plaintiff would not have been able to avoid the release even if her osteomyelitis existed at the time that she entered into the contract. "[O]ne who executes a release for consideration for the injuries then known cannot, on the subsequent discovery of injuries not known or suspected at the time of settlement, obtain a cancellation of the release on the ground of mutual mistake." Id. at 388. This discussion is unwarranted by the facts of the case (which indicate that the plaintiff's osteomyelitis developed after the release was signed) and apparently in conflict with the language quoted above. We decline the defendants' invitation to read the Tewksbury decision broadly to preclude the rescission of a release where the parties are mistaken as to the existence of an unknown injury.
The defendants also rely on language in McCarthy's Case, 226 Mass. 444, 446 (1917). That language, in so far as it relates to the crucial issues in the instant case, may well be dictum. In any event, dictum or not, we decline to interpret or follow that language as urged by the defendants.
[Note 6] Some jurisdictions which follow the "unknown injury" rule nonetheless decline to rescind a settlement agreement where the release explicity discharges liability for both known and unknown injuries. See, e.g., Emery v. Mackiewicz, 429 Pa. 322, 326 (1968) (releasing "claims that are known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected"); Gecy v. Prudential Ins. Co., 257 S.E.2d 709, 712 (S.C. 1979) (release plainly stated that it included subsequently discovered unknown injuries). Other courts, however, have held that a release may be avoided with respect to uncontemplated injuries despite the all-inclusive language of a settlement agreement. See, e.g., Mangini v. McClurg, supra at 562 ("based on a realistic recognition that releases contain standardized, even ritualistic, language and are given in circumstances where the parties are looking no further than the precise matter in dispute"). We decline to follow either of these two approaches, but instead adopt the view that the intent of the parties must be inferred from the entire circumstances of the agreement, including the language of the release.
[Note 7] We recognize our strong policy of encouraging the resolution of disputes through agreement of the parties. A release "is a jural act of high significance without which the settlement of disputes would be rendered all but impossible. It should never be converted into a starting point for renewed litigation except under circumstances and under rules which would render any other result a grave injustice." Mangini v. McClurg, supra at 563.
The defendants argue that adoption of the "unknown injury" rule will open the floodgates to rescission of personal injury releases on the ground of mutual mistake. We doubt that today's decision will have such a revolutionary effect. Our considered prediction is that the actual circumstances in which a plaintiff has suffered an injury which exists and yet is unknown to the parties at the time of executing the release, and where the prospect of such an unknown injury is uncontemplated by the parties during the settlement negotiations, will be exceedingly rare.
In addition, lump-sum settlement agreements entered into after November 1, 1986, will be governed to some extent by the provisions of G. L. c. 152, Section 48, as amended, which allows for the reopening of certain claims, for medical benefits only, if the employee has suffered an unforeseen deterioration of his medical condition. Finally, a plaintiff in a personal injury case who succeeds in proving his claim of mutual mistake will nonetheless have to surmount the additional hurdles of statutes of limitations and, if judgment was entered pursuant to the settlement agreement, res judicata.
[Note 8] While of necessity we refer to the judge's ruling as erroneous, we appreciate that he did not have the benefit of any Massachusetts decisions on this precise issue other than our 1946 opinion in Tewksbury and our 1917 opinion in McCarthy. See note 5, supra.
[Note 9] Citing Tewksbury, the judge ruled that "[e]xecuting a release to cover known injuries precludes re-opening the matter should the claimant discover additional injuries at some point in the future."
[Note 10] Our prior decisions have indicated that the party seeking to avoid an agreement must prove mistake by "full, clear and decisive" evidence. Kidder v. Greenman, 283 Mass. 601, 613 (1933). See Mickelson v. Barnet, 390 Mass. 786, 792 (1984) (reformation of trust).

2. My regression analysis of private fractional interest data.
Thus, in Chapter 10 we use three models for calculating the fractional
interest discount: the economic components model, the partnership pro-
п¬Ѓles database regression, and the private data regression.
If any chapter may have rough edges to it, Chapter 7 is it. I hope to
be able to smooth those edges in future editions of this book. For now,
however, this chapter will have to remain as it is.
The calculation of the discount for lack of control in Chapter 9 is also
subject to further research and revision. Nevertheless, this is valuable and
novel material well worth the struggle through the quantitative parts.
I caution the reader not to get bogged down in the quantitative parts
of Chapter 7. Read it through lightly п¬Ѓrst for understanding the gist, and
do not worry about understanding every statistic in the academic articles.
The most important thing to get out of Chapter 7 in a п¬Ѓrst reading is an
understanding of why the acquisition premium data that we have been
using for the past 30 years tell us almost nothing useful about the value
of control of a private п¬Ѓrm and why we have to look elsewhere. It is then
worth a second reading to master the technical details.

PART 3 Adjusting for Control and Marketability
Adjusting for levels of control and marketability is a complicated and
very important topic. We will be discussing control premiums (CP), their
opposite, discount for lack of control (DLOC), and discount for lack of
marketability (DLOM).
Historically, these valuation adjustments have accounted for substan-
tial adjustments in appraisal reports—often 20–40% of the net present
value of the cash flows—and yet valuation analysts may spend little to
no time calculating and explaining these adjustments.
This is a long chapter, with much data and analysis. It will be helpful
to break the discussion into two parts. The п¬Ѓrst part will deal with pri-
marily with control and the second part primarily with marketability. I
say primarily, because the two concepts are interrelated. The level of con-
trol of a business interest impacts its level of marketability. Therefore, it
is logical to begin with a discussion of control. Because of the interrela-
tionship, two academic articles that we will discuss in the section on
control relate more to marketability, yet they п¬Ѓt in better in the control
We will begin our analysis of the effects of control on value by reviewing
prior qualitative professional research and prior academic research. Then
we will present some additional data and come to some conclusions
about the magnitude of control premiums and DLOC.
The top portion of Figure 7-1 shows the traditional level of values
chart.3 The conventional wisdom represented in the traditional levels of
value chart holds that it is appropriate to add a control premium to the

Often referred to in the literature as the вЂ˜вЂ˜as-if-freely-traded-value'' for private п¬Ѓrms.
3. The bottom portion shows Chris Mercer's modified traditional levels of value chart, which is
identical to the one above, except with the addition of the strategic value. We will cover this
later in the chapter.
CHAPTER 7 Adjusting for Levels of Control and Marketability 197
marketable minority interest value. There are significant opinions to the
contrary, i.e., that one should not add any control premium whatsoever.
Additionally, there is controversy over the appropriate magnitude of the
control premium among those who do add them to the marketable mi-
nority interest value. We will cover that in greater depth later in the chap-
ter. Of course, if the valuation method is a guideline company approach
using a database of sales of privately held п¬Ѓrms, the starting value is a
private control interest, and a control premium is inappropriate.
It is extremely important to understand that the valuation adjust-
ments in Figure 7-1 be appropriate to the valuation method used. If we
are valuing a control interest and we used a discounted cash flow analysis
with discount rates calculated using New York Stock Exchange data, the
resulting value is a marketable minority interest, and a control premium
must be considered.4
The alternative levels of value chart is two tiered, i.e., it is a 2 2
chart (2 rows and 2 columns, versus the traditional chart, which is 3
1). It represents the four basic types of ownership interests, which are
combinations of public versus private and control versus minority inter-
est. Obviously, there are shades of gray in between the extremes. Bolotsky
(1991) was the п¬Ѓrst to propound this chart, although he used it for slightly
different purposes, which we discuss below. Much later in the chapter,
we will discuss Figure 7-3, which is my own extension of Bolotsky's levels
of value chart to a 3 2 chart.
The traditional sources of control premiums are the Mergerstat and
the Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin (HLHZ) studies.5 Table 7-1, col-
umns B and C show Mergerstat's compilation of average (mean) and
median five-day acquisition premiums from 1985–1997. The premiums
were measured as (POffer/P5Day) 1, where the numerator is the offering
price and the denominator is the minority trading price п¬Ѓve days before
the announcement of the offer. Mean acquisition premiums have ranged
from 35–45%, with the average being 39.5% (B21), while median premi-
ums have ranged from 27–35%, with an average of 30.5% (C21).
Two-Tiered Levels of Value Charta
Public Private
Control x x
Minority x x
Note: these are also the four basic types of ownership interests.
4. It is also important to make sure the measure of income is consistent with the interest valued.
When valuing a control interest, it is appropriate to add back excess salaries of the owners.
When valuing a minority interest that cannot force salaries lower, the add-back is

Read the latest news about alternative business finance.
It's the season to be jolly, but Christmas can be an expensive time of year for many business owners. We have put together four simple tips to help you enjoy the festive season whilst making sure your small business finances stay healthy.
Plan ahead
You may find it easier to make sales during the Christmas period, but it can be tricky to run a profitable business and keep your workforce engaged.
If you are planning to hold a Christmas party for your staff this year, make sure that you take costs into consideration. Can your small business finances take a large hit at such an important time? This also applies if you are planning to give gifts or bonuses to either employees or clients. It may be a nice touch and seem like a minor cost, but they can add up and massively impact your cash flow.
Delay finalising profits
As Christmas day draws closer, customers start to panic buy last-minute presents. If you have extended your gift refund policy, or even if not – be prepared for an influx of refunds after Christmas. Unfortunately, the return of unwanted gifts can affect your small business finances, so bear this in mind when making calculations and plans for 2017.
Prepare for unexpected costs
With the new financial year looming in 2017, budget changes also await. Changes to small business finance, such as increases to the national minimum wage are unavoidable and can be expensive. If possible, you should always try to keep some emergency funds aside. With January's self-assessment tax return around the corner, and a government crackdown on small business tax, a business cash advance can solve problems with your small business finance. The flexible finance provided by Quick Capital can provide you wih the additional funding you need with flexible repayments in line with your card turnover.
Chase payments
Small business finances are currently under strain thanks to late payment. Only 51 percent of small businesses claim they are paid on time – this means 49 percent of businesses face real issues with their business finance. Small company owners can wait up to six weeks to receive payments, making it difficult to manage a healthy cash flow. If you have certain suppliers who constantly delay payments, it could be an idea to address it with their accounts department.
If you are planning on paying your employees' wages early in December, make sure that you have available funds. Be realistic with your staff, and if you are not entirely sure that your incomings will be cleared in time, don't commit to early payments. It's better to be up front and honest rather than give your workforce false hope!
If you need further help managing your cash flow in the lead up to Christmas, a business cash advance could be the perfect method of small business finance for you. Call 0800 3777 402 or visit www.quickcapital.co.uk to get in touch with one of our advisors and see how much you can raise.
