Frequently, once a document has been notarised, some further formalities must be undertaken before it can be used overseas; these formalities may include consular legalisation (often referred to simply as "consularisation") or certification by apostille in accordance with the 1961 Hague convention abolishing legalisation.
Ontario does not provide an apostille certification service. However, some countries still require notarial documents to be legalised and the document must in these circumstances be presented to the consulate or other diplomatic representation of the country where the document is to be used.
The Province offers useful guidelines online:
Authenticate a document for use outside Canada
How to get a legal document authenticated for international travel or business purposes. The Official Documents Services (ODS) department issues the Certificate of Authentication.
If you are doing business or travelling abroad, you may need proof of authentication for official documents issued in Ontario.
Consulates and embassies ask for these certificates to ensure that various documents are valid.
ODS authenticates documents by verifying the seal, stamp and signature of notaries public in Ontario and commissioners for taking affidavits who have been appointed by the Ministry of the Attorney General. ODS does not validate the contents of documents.
What documents can be authenticated
ODS can authenticate notarized or commissioned documents such as:
birth, adoption, marriage or divorce certificates
property ownership documents
school, college or university admission papers and transcripts
business and commercial import-export documents
contracts dealing with incorporation, partnerships, product standards and distribution, fiscal matters
approval certificates for customs
other government official documents
How to get a document authenticated
St 1:
Contact the appropriate consulate/embassy to verify their requirements.
Sp 2:
Have your document notarized by a notary public, or commissioned by a commissioner for taking affidavits in Ontario.
Sp 3:
For documents more than one-quarter inch (or 7 mm) thick, have 2 holes punched in the upper-left-hand corner, where the authentication certificate can be attached.
St 4:
Include the appropriate fee:
Document typeFees payable in Canadian dollars only (all taxes exempted)
Notarized legal document$16
Commissioned legal document by a commissioner for taking affidavits$32
An Ontario government official document$32
A status of good standing for a notary public$16
Accepted forms of payment
In person
Cash, Visa, Mastercard, debit, certified cheque or money order.
By mail
Certified cheque or money order.
Cheques and money orders are to be made payable to: The Minister of Finance.
Step 5: Mail the request or deliver it in person to:
Official Documents Services
Main Floor
222 Jarvis St
Toronto ON M7A 0B6
Tel: 416-325-8416
Office hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m., except statutory holidays.
Faxed applications will not be accepted.
Authentication process
ODS authenticates your document by comparing the signature and seal or stamp on the document against the information on file from the notary public/commissioner for taking affidavits.
ODS does not validate the contents of documents.
Authentication will only proceed if:
all parts of the signature, seal and/or stamp of the notary public or commissioner for taking affidavits are clearly displayed on the same page of the document — if not, it has to be re-notarized or re-commissioned;
the notary public or commissioner for taking affidavits is registered with ODS;
the name, seal and/or stamp is identical to that on file at ODS.
You will be issued a Certificate of Authentication attached to each document.
If your information is not complete, payment is missing or a document is not notarized — it cannot be authenticated.
Standard processing time
In person
Your documents can be authenticated while you wait. Standard wait time is about 30 minutes if your documentation is complete. If you have more than one item for authentication, you may be required to wait longer.
Mailed documents
We will return the documents, by Canada Post, within 15 business days of receipt. You can use a courier service of your choice if you enclose a pre-paid envelope with your request.
An apostille is the authentication of official documents of foreign origin for countries that are signatories of the Hague Convention.
Canada is not a signatory of the Hague Convention and therefore does not fall within its requirements.
Instead, Canada is required to provide a Certificate of Authentication.

Sir Arthur Nicholas Winston Soames (born 12 February 1948), sometimes known as Nick Soames, is a British Conservative Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament for Mid Sussex since 1997. He is a grandson of Winston Churchill.
Soames was first elected to Parliament in 1983 for Crawley. He was Minister of State for the Armed Forces from 1994 to 1997 in the government of John Major. His main political interests are defence, international relations, rural affairs and industry.
Early life, education and military service
Soames was born 1948 in Croydon and is a grandson of the British prime minister Sir Winston Churchill, the son of Lord and Lady Soames, and a great-nephew of the founders of the Scout movement, Robert Baden-Powell and Olave Baden-Powell. His brother is the industrialist Rupert Soames.
Simon Hoggart, writing in The Guardian, related an anecdote of Soames' childhood: "He gave me the true version of what I had always suspected was an apocryphal story. In or around 1953, when Soames was five, he didn't know how important his grandfather was until someone told him. So he walked up to the old man's bedroom, managed to get past the valets and the secretaries, and found him sitting up in bed. 'Is it true, grandpapa, that you are the greatest man in the world?' he asked. 'Yes I am,' said Churchill. 'Now bugger off.'"[1]
After attending St. Aubyns Preparatory School in Sussex, Soames received his secondary education at Eton College. Later he studied at Mons Officer Cadet School before being commissioned into the 11th Hussars on 5 August 1967 on a Short Service Commission before serving in West Germany and Britain with the 11th Hussars and later the Royal Hussars.[2] Soames was transferred to Regular Army Reserve of Officers on 9 March 1970 before resigning his commission on 5 August 1975.[3][4]
Early career
In 1970, he was appointed Equerry to HRH The Prince of Wales; he has remained a close friend of the Prince ever since and publicly criticised Diana, Princess of Wales, during the couple's estrangement. When Diana first accused the Prince of Wales of adultery with Camilla Parker Bowles, Soames told the BBC that the accusation, and Diana's fear of being slandered by her husband's courtiers, stemmed merely from Diana's mental illness, and "the advanced stages of paranoia".[5] Charles later admitted his adultery and Soames apologised. When questioned by the inquest into the death of Diana, Soames said that he saw his job as "to speak up for the Prince of Wales". He denied threatening Diana, and warning her, "accidents happen" in the months before she died.[6]
In 1972, he left Kensington Palace and the army to work as a stockbroker. In 1974, he became a personal assistant; first to Sir James Goldsmith and then in 1976 to United States Senator Mark Hatfield, whose employ he left in 1978 to become a director of Bland Welch, Lloyd's Brokers. Between 1979–81, he was an assistant director of the Sedgwick Group. He fought Central Dunbartonshire in Scotland in 1979, where Labour's Hugh McCartney defeated him by 12,003 votes.
Parliamentary career
Soames was elected as the MP for Crawley at the 1983 general election. He sat for Crawley until the 1997 general election (when Labour defeated the Conservatives in Crawley). In the 1997 election, he retained the constituency of Mid Sussex for the Conservatives after Tim Renton stood down at the election, and Soames has remained the seat's MP since then.
He served as a Parliamentary Secretary at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food between 1992 and 1994, as Minister of State for the Armed Forces at the Ministry of Defence under Prime Minister John Major between 1994 and 1997, and later as the Shadow Secretary of State for Defence from 2003 to 2005.
On 9 May 2005, shortly after Michael Howard announced his intention to resign as leader of the Conservative Party, Soames resigned from the shadow cabinet. He immediately ended speculation that he intended to stand for the post of leader, saying that he merely wanted to be free to think about, and to influence the future of the party. He added that he was interested in joining the executive of the 1922 Committee. He later announced his support for David Cameron.[7]
In one edition of The Mark Thomas Comedy Product, Mark Thomas investigated the practice of avoiding inheritance tax by declaring art, furniture, homes and land available for public viewing. After discovering that Soames was claiming tax relief on a "three-tier mahogany buffet with partially reeded slender balustrade upright supports" on this basis, but without making any arrangements for the furniture to be inspected by the public, Thomas invented a 'National Soames Day' on which hundreds of people made appointments to see the furniture.[8][9] Soames subsequently decided to pay the tax on the item and Gordon Brown, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, changed the law. In 2015, Thomas told The Independent's Adam Jacques: "I try to find the good in my enemies. It's not unusual to be able to get on with people despite what they are doing being awful. The only person I have met who I considered to be without any redeeming features was […] Nicholas Soames. […] He was such a pantomime baddie."[9]
On 13 July 2011, Soames was sworn of the Privy Council.[10] He was knighted in the 2014 Birthday Honours for political service.[11][12]
Soames was opposed to Brexit prior to the 2016 EU membership referendum.[13]
Allegations of sexism
According to the book Women in Parliament published in 2005, Soames has been named as the 'most sexist' MP, with several female MPs stating that he has made vulgar comments to them.[14] In other accusations of sexual harassment, it has been alleged that Soames makes repeated cupping gestures with his hands, suggestive of female breasts, when women are trying to speak in parliament, in order to distract them.[15] He allegedly harassed Alastair Campbell by telephoning him and saying "you sex god, you Adonis, you the greatest of all great men". However, unknown to Soames, he was actually speaking to Campbell's young son.[16]
On 31 January 2017, Soames made 'woofing' noises at Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh when she was asking the foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, a question in the House of Commons. Ahmed-Sheikh called a point of order to bring the speaker's attention to the noises.[17] John Bercow, the speaker, described the noises as "discourteous and that expression should not be used", and Soames was asked to apologise.[18] He did so, saying he was only offering her a "friendly canine salute" in reply to her "snapped" question.[17]
Aegis Defence Services
Soames is chairman of the private security contractor Aegis Defence Services and chairman of Framlington Second Dual Trust plc.[19][20] Aegis had a series of contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars to provide guards to protect US military bases in Iraq from 2004 onwards. From 2011, the company broadened its recruitment to take in African countries, having previously employed people from the UK, the US and Nepal.
Contract documents say that the soldiers from Sierra Leone were paid $16 (£11) a day. A documentary, The Child Soldier's New Job, broadcast in Denmark, alleges that the estimated 2,500 Sierra Leonean personnel who were recruited by Aegis and other private security companies to work in Iraq included former child soldiers.[21]
Political funding
Mid Sussex Conservative Constituency Association has received over £1 million in donations, with Soames receiving well over £100,000 from private military company Aegis Defence Services Ltd from 2010 onwards.[22] US multinational professional services, risk management and insurance brokerage firm Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc has given Soames £518,069 since 2010 in remunerations for his services as an MP.[23] Soames has also received private donations from a variety of people, including £5,749 from Majlis As Shura, £10,000 from David Rowland, and £20,000 from Ann R. Said.[24]
Meeting with Robert Mugabe
In October 2017, Soames faced criticism following a meeting with Robert Mugabe while visiting Zimbabwe.[25] Zimbabwean media claimed that the visit was "part of a private initiative of friends of Zimbabwe in the British establishment" to normalise relations between the two countries, and quoted Mugabe as saying that Soames had carried messages of goodwill from both Lord Carrington (who had co-signed the 1979 Lancaster House Agreement on behalf of the British Government) and Prince Charles.[26] The Zimbabwean state-owned Herald asserted that "Sir Nicholas insisted on meeting President Mugabe in the full glare of publicity. He promised to publicise details of the meeting in the British media."
In response, Soames maintained that he had met Mugabe in a personal capacity, rather than as a representative of the UK government: he explained that his father Christopher Soames, who had overseen Zimbabwe's transition to independence, would not have forgiven him if he had not tried to "call on" the president.[25]
MP Kate Hoey, chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Zimbabwe, criticised the visit, stating that Soames' behaviour "pander(ed) to the vanity of a wily and ruthless dictator." She continued "(y)ou can't have a private visit which is then front page of the newspapers in Zimbabwe."[25][27]
Personal life
Soames has been married twice. His first marriage (4 June 1981 – 1988) was to Catherine Weatherall[28] (the sister of Isobel Bowes-Lyon, Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne). They have one son:
- Arthur Harry David Soames (1985)
He married, secondly, Serena Smith (a niece of the Duchess of Grafton) on 21 December 1993. They have two children.
- Isabella Soames (28 November 1996)
- Christopher Soames (11 January 2001)
His brother, Rupert Soames, is the CEO of outsourcing company, Serco.
Driving offences
On 15 May 2008, Soames pleaded guilty to riding a quad bike on a public road without motor insurance. A photograph of Soames using the vehicle to pull a trailer carrying three children and a pregnant woman was taken from footage filmed by hunt saboteurs in Slaugham, West Sussex, on New Year's Day. It was given to the police and published by the Daily Mirror. Since he had several previous offences on his licence, he was disqualified from driving for two months, fined £200, and ordered to pay a £15 victim surcharge and costs of £35 by Crawley magistrates.[29]
In 2012, he was disqualified from driving for two weeks for speeding at 51 mph in a 30 mph residential area in Handcross. Soames was also fined £35,000, plus £85 court costs and a £15 victim surcharge.[30] The Argus, a Sussex paper, describes him as an 'anti-speed MP'.[31] According to the Argus, it was 'the third time he has been caught flouting traffic laws in four years'. After the ruling at Mid Sussex Magistrates' Court on 17 October 2012, the Mid Sussex Conservative MP told The Argus: "These things happen. Haven't you ever gone over the speed limit?" The speeding incident angered Brake, a campaigning road safety charity, which said, "speed limits are in place for everyone's safety, and it is particularly alarming to see a public figure like Nicholas Soames repeatedly flouting traffic laws and needlessly putting lives at risk. A two-week ban and a £666 fine is simply not enough, and we would like to see courts hand out tougher penalties to traffic offenders in order to create a real deterrent".[31]

Man on the Move: Fashion Fusion
Fusion is not typically a word associated with the fashion industry, but that's exactly how White Mountaineering can be described. Whether it's combining futuristic with the outdoors or a collaboration with Adidas – as shown above – White Mountaineering is the king of mixing elements. This makes for a style that's bound to be bold and beautiful. And that's always a winning combination.
Style Advice: In the new era of fashion, this versatile windbreaker can be worn over a t-shirt or even a dress shirt (yes, that can be pulled off) for maximizing the cost per wear, which looks at the number of wears vs. the cost. In hopes of not getting too technical, this metric can actually help you justify some investment pieces for your wardrobe. But anyway, you shouldn't need to invest too much to pull this look off. Windbreakers are a dime a dozen, but they're so functional that you should at least have one or two hanging in your closet. The vibrant colors are reminiscent of the '90s fashion, but retro is in – like with this colorblock option from Nike - so rock them with confidence. It'll pair well with this matching Nike shirt designed by NikeLab, an offshoot Nike brand focused on collaborative and innovative design. In keeping with the theme, Nike's dri-FIT technology compression pants will compliment the outfit perfectly. Complete the look with these lightweight sneakers from Nike, although these days, cross-training shouldn't just be limited to describing shoes.
Must-Have: Track jackets are the perfect transitional outerwear pieces as we gear up for the fall breeze. As we've touched on previously, it's back to being a wardrobe staple. There's plenty of luxurious options, but the 'it' designer has the 'it' track jacket of the season. Gucci's design pops out and ensures you'll be noticed. It's the perfect layering piece for those casual days as the temperature drops. For a more budget-friendly option, Zara has a very Gucci-like design that'll do just as good of a job in turning heads. Bring on the cool (cheesy pun intended).
Industry Update: Another month, another collaboration. This time Uniqlo and JW Anderson are teaming up for an assortment of wardrobe items from shirts to scarves to down jackets. The collection is expected to drop in September. Jonathan Anderson notes that "working with Uniqlo is probably the most incredible template of democracy in fashion, and it's nice that my design can be accessible to anyone, on all different levels." That's always a refreshing and humbling take from a designer of Anderson's stature. Uniqlo has had great success with previous collaborations, including beautiful collections from Jil Sander, Christophe Lemaire, and Pharrell Williams. This 'democracy' and unity in the fashion industry is especially meaningful in these trying times, at least symbolically, but let's hope for more collaborations both inside and outside of the wonderful world of style.

First of all: congratulations with the successful search and selection of the new promising engineer joining your team.
Feeling sense of victory and being proud of yourself? No? Well you should be, because you have done a great job – we know exactly how much it takes to find one. Not everyone manages to meet high qualification standards expressed by engineer department manager along with CEO demands for a reasonable pay.
Ok, so let's move on to the following step. So now you have a new employee: thrilled by a new given opportunity and sincerely willing to absorb all the information. So guess what, now you have a new challenge – to train and turn him into a good/ great/ ideal (how ambitious are you?) engineer. Basically you have two options:
A. Success – you will grow a highly motivated, enthusiastic, highly qualified and loyal engineer
B. One more opportunity to test your search and selection skills – failed training process inevitably will lead to significant loss of motivation not only to learn but to work in your company as well. In addition to that, you can face expensive mistakes, dissatisfaction of clients and managers – probably you already understood perfectly the picture that we are trying to describe.
So, what to do to be sure you are heading to the option A? The answer is – plan, a smart engineer training plan. And what steps to include to this plan we will try to explain in this series of articles.
1. First of all, you have to consider the knowledge and skills that are necessary working in an engineer position in your company. Make a list. It might be detailed and horrifyingly long – this is how you won't miss a thing. It might be useful to divide all the themes into categories. Give each theme a category that expresses the importance, for example:
- Must have now – must have knowledge and skills from the day one;
- Must have – must have knowledge and skills from the day one, but it might be learned later;
- Nice to have – the knowledge and skills that might be learned later (at least approximately – how much later?).
In such a way you know exactly what to start with: must have now – first, then – must have, and finally – nice to have.
NOTE: We would recommend writing down every detail for your trainee to the slightest detail, especially if it is your first training plan. Write about the details like all the equipment that is being used in the department, where the certain tools are held, how to use them, how to leave them after using them. This might seem silly at first, but every company has its own order that is unknown for the newcomer. For instance, how easy is it to make yourself a cup of tea in somebody else home, when you don't know where the cup, tea or sugar is? Right? So, such an expanded list will help you to avoid missing something significant for everyday engineer routine that might seem like an obvious thing for you.
2. Second step. Before choosing the suitable training for your employee, take into account his/her qualification: skills and knowledge that already exist. This way we are pretty sure you will shorten the primary list.
3. Now, that you have a final list of subjects for your new engineer training, it is time to decide who will train your engineer. It does not have to be one person for the whole plan. It might be that through the whole training program the newcomer will have different trainers. However the most important things to consider before choosing a trainer are:
- Certain trainers for the certain subjects. Not everyone has a right level of knowledge to train, and most importantly not everyone is capable to teach and to properly explain new information. So if you have a number of subjects that must be taught, be sure that one trainer is capable to deliver few topics, or choose different trainers. And if you think that someone from your company has enough knowledge to train a newcomer – be sure he has enough knowledge how to do that.
- If you do choose someone from the company to deliver the training – do not forget to evaluate how comfortable he/she feels in your company. Dissatisfied with the company employee is very likely to pass or at least to reduce the newcomers enthusiasm and motivation.
NOTE: If you do not have any current employees capable to perform training, then we strongly recommend using the engineer lease service. Such service is being provided by the some companies in full flight simulator industry. Professionals qualified for both engineering and training will prepare your trainee for the job and will save a great amount of time that you would spend searching for the various trainers, and definitely save you additional expenses that otherwise could appear after the incorrect training performed by under-qualified trainers from your own company.
However, if you still decide to choose someone from your own employees to continue handling your engineer training, then stay tuned to the SimHelp news. In the next article we will talk of how to schedule and perform the training.

The host community offers opportunities to learn about and experience challenges that are either larger in scope or foreign to Bozeman area community challenges. Students come back to MSU with an enhanced understanding of the diverse issues that face our national and global community. Communities see tangible results from the MSU student's projects, while students gain new skills, perspectives and relationships. Trips are organized by the Office of Student Engagement and are led by two MSU student Site Leaders.

The ONE Smart Piano Review
The Piano is one of the most popular and iconic instruments throughout the world. I for one wished I knew how to play but didn't know where to begin. Enter, The ONE Piano & Light Keyboard.
The ONE Piano is targeted at new learners who want to learn how to play the piano with ease. I am a fan of aided learning, and the piano helps support my case. Generally, it takes some time to learn the patterns and read sheet music which can easily stress and discourage new students. But with The ONE Smart Piano, the whole equation changes.
Setup took less then 5 minutes. Half of that time was spent downloading the app and loading their learning modules to my smartphone. The ONE Smart Piano app currently works for Android and iOS devices. It came with a lightening and microUSB cable to integrate your device with The ONE Piano.
The Smart Piano app offers three options, watch video tutorials, choose an LED-Guided practice, or play the game using the piano keys. To familiarize ourselves with the piano, we choose to first watch the video tutorial.
The instructional videos were produced by the Hoffman Academy and each video was roughly 11 minutes long. During the guided lesson, we followed the instructions which were aided by the LED lit piano keys. I found the lessons easy to follow.
My editor, who had piano lessons decades ago, loved the guided scores section of the app. Here, she picked a score she wanted to play. The top row of the app would show sheet music while the lower half would show which keys to press while keys on the piano illuminates. For scores she hasn't played before, she can lower the speed to make the interaction easier to follow.
The interactive games was a great addition. Think Guitar Hero meets The ONE. There are a variety of music to choose, from Yankee Doodle to Minuet In G. One option we wish the interactive games had was the ability to lower the speed of the score, just like what's offered in guided scores part of the app.
The main motive of the smart piano is to enabled us to learn fast and build skills quickly in an interactive and fun manner. The virtual music instructor helped us go through the music lessons and creates an environment where we flourish with skill and joy!
The ONE Smart Piano is currently running an Indiegogo Campaign. More information can be found on http://www.smartpiano.com/

State Agency Fines Chesapeake
On May 17, 2011, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection fined Chesapeake Energy over $1 million for incidents resulting in groundwater contamination and a tank fire. Unfortunately, this administrative action comes after private property groundwater supplies and land have been damaged. Incidents such as these are likely to become more prevalent in Arkansas as fracking becomes more widespread. McMath Woods is prepared to assist landowners in seeking damages for property and groundwater impacted by fracking. The following is a link to the news release regarding the fine: https://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/newsroom/14287?id=17405&typeid=1

About Us
We are a small group of Christians with an evangelical background in French-speaking Switzerland. We desire to relay the many warnings that exist concerning the New Apostolic Reformation.
A variety of teachings and theological points are detailed in the posts dealing with the New Apostolic Reformation and Word of Faith.
We believe that God is the Almighty, and that He still heals and does miracles today. However, we also believe that God allows sickness and that the absence of healing is no evidence of a lack of faith or the presence of sin. Following Jesus's return, we will have transformed bodies and will no longer know sickness.
What we condemn through this website is, among other things, the claim that at the cross, Jesus delivered us from sickness and poverty (even more so if one gives a lot of money to the Church), and that the absence of healing is never due to God's choice not to heal. Those teachings cause individuals who deal with a handicap or sickness to experience great sorrow. In the New Testament, it says that Paul had a "thorn in the flesh" (2 Corinthians 12:7) and that Timothy had "frequent ailments" (1 Timothy 5:23). Paul also left his friend Trophimus ill at Miletus (2 Timothy 4:20).

What Is CryptoCurrency why people use
Cryptocurrency is based on cryptography the guarantee and its security and makes it difficult to count on it. OneCoin is created through the process is called mining. This ensures that every mined coin is unique, Similar to how every dollar built has a unique serial number called digital money or electronic cash. CryptoCurrency can be used instead of paper money. CryptoCurrency makes it easier and faster to transfer funds between two parties. The Processing fees are low and enabling users to avoid the expensive fees charged by the most traditional financial institution for wire transfers.
CryptoCurrencies are not tight to a particular Country or Central Bank, therefore, the value depends mainly on a number of people and merchants using them besides supply and demands. A broker is involved in cryptocurrency so they buy and sell cryptocurrency. Best cryptocurrency brokers are those that have a lot of money to invest in the business. Now a day the one of the most popular cryptocurrency is bitcoin. CryptoCurrencies are not tight to a particular Country or Central Bank therefore the value depends mainly on number of people and merchants using them besides supply and demands. OneCoin is not pre mined and therefore the users create the market, mine and use the coins. The finite number of coins that can be mined and consequently traded means there is no real risk of inflation. OneCoin changes the way we use financial services.
3 Reasons Bitcoin Rocks
- Bitcoin challenges the traditional systemof commerce, controlled by governments, the banking industry, and big corporations. It invites us to imagine a new and better way to conduct business. A community system of exchange where all people are treated as equals. Anybody can participate, no matter how little wealth, power, or influence one possesses.
- Bitcoin is brilliantly designed. It is such a highly complicated, yet efficient means of trade that many financial pundits predict Bitcoin will last a very long time. Indeed, as far as digital currencies go, there have been others that have either failed or seriously stalled.
- Bitcoin possibilities are endless. First of all, the trading value of Bitcoin (BTC) with CAD or USD is astonishing. Even though in the past its value has been volatile (1 Bitcoin has ranged in price from about $20 to $240 USD), it currently trades for about $115 CAD and has shown recent signs of greater stability. All of us get some adrenaline rush from risk and uncertainty, and who knows what the price of a Bitcoin will be in a year or two. Secondly, most shopping with Bitcoins in done online, with mainstream brick and mortar stores lacking the knowledge and infrastructure to accept Bitcoin as payment.

The numeral one billion has nine zeros. This number is equal to one thousand million. In scientific notation, one billion is written as 1x10 to the ninth power.
When trying to get a feel for a number this large, it is helpful to put it in everyday terms. For example, to save $1 billion, a thrifty saver would have to deposit $100 in the bank each day for over 27,000 years. If a person wanted to count to one billion and could spit out numbers at the rate of three per second, it would still take over 95 years to finish.
There are two different scales to describe the number of zeros in a billion; the long scale has 12 zeros and the short scale has nine zeros. The long scale is common in Europe and South America, while the short scale is typically used in America, Arabic-speaking countries, and Russia.
The long scale definition describes that one billion is a million times larger than one million and that a billion means a million million. The short scale definition describes that the number one billion is a thousand times larger than one million and that a billion means a thousand million.

'Smell like rotting corpses' Diggers start clearing massive 20,000 tonne rubbish pile
A MASSIVE rubbish pile that smells like "rotting corpses" and weighs a massive 20,000 tonnes has begun to be cleared by a team of diggers today.
Some 2,500 tonnes of waste were removed from the mound of garbage which stands at 40ft high and in some places measures 60ft wide.
People who live nearby have called for the entire rubbish pile to be cleared amid fears it is emitting toxic fumes which are endangering their health.
The heap of garbage in a cul-de-sac near Orpington, Kent has been the sight of 23 significant fires.
Borough commander for Bromley fire station Daniel Cartwright said it has taken 2,000 hours to put out the blazes at a cost of £650,000 to the taxpayer.
The Environment Agency (EA) sent a team of experts to clear the rubbish to a "safe level" to help fire crews get better access to the hot spot.
Residents have demanded tougher action to immediately remove the waste pile which they said is like living next to "rotting corpses".
The smell that comes through is like rotting corpses
Jan Watkins, 60, a grandmother-of-two, said: "It is a plague. It is a living nightmare.
"It is really, really horrible. You can't open your doors or your windows. The smell that comes through is like rotting corpses.
"You can't go out, it is in your clothes, in your hair, because the smell gets in them. You can't use your garden.
"Many residents have sore throats and coughs. Anybody who has a breathing problem suffers greatly."
She said residents had campaigned to clear the site for three years but accused the EA of letting the mound get out of control.
She said: "If the Environment Agency had taken action when we wanted them to two and a half years ago it would be half the size.
"We feel very, very let down."
She said she feared the frequent fires were emitting toxic fumes which could be endangering the health of her two young grandchildren.
Denise Clark, 34, a mother-of-two, added: "The smell, especially when it's hot, is repugnant, disgusting. It makes you feel sick to the stomach.
"It's like living next to a sewage works.
"We have a real rat problem. The size of the rats are massive - up to 2ft with their tails.
"I have a three-year-old son and five-year-old daughter and it makes me fear for their health. My son has eczema and it is not good for him."
She also blamed the "scourge" for sending house prices in the street down tumbling.
She said: "House prices have plummeted by about £100,000. This rubbish tip is hitting our purse strings and our health and it is hitting our way of life."
Mr Cartwright said the rubbish pile is so big that it would always pose a threat for fire.
He added that the original permit allowed for a recycling centre to hold only 5,000 tonnes of waste.
The EA has been locked in a long-running battle with site operator Waste4Fuel to clear the rubbish.
In a statement it said: "Environment Agency contractors have entered the Waste4Fuel site in Orpington in an operation to lower the illegal waste pile to a safe level.
"The Environment Agency's battle to ensure that the site operator and landowner clean up the site is continuing, but is taking this rare step to reduce the blight on the local community."

MCQs on Breast Cancer
I hope I have made the topic very simple by breaking it into different questions. If you have any clarifications, please don't hesitate to leave your comments
very nice mcq
I like your question and answer approach to writing this article. People can learn much by reading this and most of all to be aware of the risks in developing breast cancer. Sharing!
I'm sorry about your friend who suffers with breast cancer. What a relief that there are some treatment options out there.
thanks, I also like the short cut details, easy to read
Breast cancer is a major problem all over the world, and here, it is encouraged to do self-exams, even while young. You never know when it might strike. I was a late born, my mother never breast fed, and she smoked. She had cancer from mouth to anus when she died, but no in cadet of breast cancer according to the autopsy report, which I found very surprising.
Nice, informative and so important for everyone. It is great on your part to spread awareness through this hub.
Thank you!
I liked you questions dealing with estrogen and progesterone. Many don't understand that the hormone treatment in ER/PR positive patients is for the purpose of reducing or eliminating the levels of these hormones. My wife's life was prolonged by years because of these drugs and it was a relatively high quality of life. The MCQ format was an effective way to present this information. Thanks for presenting this to us.

Distracted driving is a problem across the nation, and California drivers are no exception. But just what causes distracted driving? How many reasons exist behind distracted driving, and how common are they?
Safe Start lists the top ten causes of distracted driving, and perhaps surprisingly, the leading cause is "general distraction". This includes thinking of other things while driving, or essentially letting the mind wander. A whopping 62 percent of distracted driving accidents are caused by this. The runner-up cause is using cellphones, which causes 12 percent of accidents. This can include making phone calls or, more popularly, texting or checking messages while driving.
Other causes include moving objects like pets in the car or animals outside of it, drinking and eating, other people in or outside of the car, or fiddling with things brought into the car. Adjusting the air conditioning or music can also contribute to accidents.
The Balance also lists driving factors behind distraction at the wheel, citing many of the same issues. Driving under the influence is also mentioned, as is using a GPS. Navigational systems are meant to make our travels easier, but they do unfortunately sometimes take one's attention away from the road while they're trying to recalibrate or see where they're going.
Ultimately, eliminating every distraction is impossible. However, plenty of the top reasons for distracted driving are within the driver's hands and can be combated. By eliminating certain distractions like cellphone usage and learning to keep an eye out for others, like surprise developments on the road, these issues can potentially be lowered or limited.

Project Summary
Make accessing web services more convenient for citizens. That was the goal.
With this in mind, the Provincial Identity Information Management Program, within the Ministry of Citizens Services worked with Sierra Systems and FreshWorks Studio to create the BC Services Card mobile app solution. A team of 15 developers from three different companies came together to develop a mobile app that allows British Columbians to securely login to their accounts using their registered mobile device.
The innovative approach taken here to improve citizen convenience has impressive results:
10,000+ downloads in the first six months
40,000+ total logins
Every download and login represents a BC resident that has used this app to simply and securely access citizen services, which means many have already benefitted from this digital transformation in the public sector.
The Challenge
How do you make it more convenient for BC residents to use your services? And how do you ensure that the people logging into your services are actually who they say they are?
Services BC was facing exactly these issues when they decided that one of the main goals they would like to focus on was "citizen convenience." While most services were already accessible through the web, there was still the issue around forgotten passwords or ensuring the person logging onto the system was the owner of the account.
The Work
In November 2016, a FreshWorks project manager and team of app developers started working on the prototype with support from Sierra Systems, IDIM BC, and Service BC.
As it is with many prototypes, it wasn't always clear whether it would go into full time production. When production was a go in early 2017, the 15 developers from Sierra Systems and FreshWorks worked on the app relentlessly to assist in fulfilling Services BC's goal of improving citizen convenience.
To ensure the person accessing the app is the person associated to the BC Services card, a level of assurance 3 proof needed to be implemented. This means that the approval authority - in this case Services BC - has completed a very strong identity verification process.
As the project went on, more and more people came on board to provide feedback and help the progress along. From meetings to demo days, the FreshWorks mobile app dev team was leading the way. Working on this project over the past 2 years has allowed all of us to really get an in-depth understanding of all the ins and outs of mobile app development and specifically when working with multiple organizations towards a common goal. The app was launched in April 2018 and immediately saw a high adoption rate.
The application was made for both iOS and Android platforms utilizing the Swift and Java programming languages respectively.
The Features
Proof of Identity
The app allows Services BC to have a proof of identity level of assurance 3. This requires the user to verify their identity in person at any designated government counter or through a video call that can be scheduled directly from within the application.
Sign Into Services BC Online
The BC Services Card app allows citizens to pair their device with their BC Services Card and use it to sign into any of the participating BC Service websites through a simple push notification on their phone.
With a solid foundation since the launch of the app, Services BC has taken major steps towards making it even easier for BC residents to conveniently access the services that are offered to them. With the move to the BC Services Card mobile app, Services BC has further established its hold on the spot of the innovator in the provincial government. Additionally, the app has allowed citizens to gather a better understanding of what services are offered to them.

Shannon Hale is the�New York Times�best-selling author of seven young adult novels, including multiple award winner The�Goose Girl�and Newbery Honor book�Princess Academy. Shannon also wrote the hit graphic novels Rapunzel's Revenge and Calamity Jack with husband Dean Hale. They live with their four small children near Salt Lake City, Utah USA.
How much of your own personality comes out in your characters? Is there one in your latest book that you relate to?
All my characters must have pieces of me since they all came from my head, though I've never based a character on myself. Miri from PRINCESS ACADEMY is probably the closest, though I'm not as awesome as she is.
Have you always enjoyed writing or was it something you developed later on in life?
I was making up stories before I knew how to write and I would act them out with friends in mini-plays. At age 10 I declared I wanted to be a writer and started four books that year. I still haven't finished those ones.
What inspired you to write 'The storybook of Legends'?
My publisher came to me with the fantastic idea from Mattel: a boarding school where the children of famous fairytales go to school and prepare to relive their parents' stories. As soon as they told me the concept, I knew I'd have a blast writing it. This is the first book I've written in someone else's world instead of making up the story myself. It was a terrifically fun challenge.
What is the best and worst part of being a published writer?
The best is that publication allows me to keep writing new books. The worst is that once I became published, the business stuff started taking a lot of my time, giving me less time to write!
What advice would you give to a young author?
Read. Read everything, not just the genre you write in. And write at least 15 minutes every day. Some days you'll have longer, but you need to devote at least 15 minutes to keep honing your skills and working those brain muscles. It takes lots and lots of time devoted to writing to master your craft.
Do you have a certain place or time in order to write?
I'm a mom of four small children, so I write whenever I get a child-free moment. I usually write in my room with my door closed when the babysitter is here, so I'm on hand for emergencies but otherwise don't get interrupted.
What are your plans/hopes for the future in your career?
I hope I get to keep telling stories for the rest of my life. I like to write in lots of different genres (fairy tale, fantasy, science fiction, comedy, mystery, romance) and lots of different forms (novel, graphic novel, screenplay, illustrated chapter book) for lots of different ages (young children, tweens, teens, adults). I love trying something new.

In our internationally mobile society, it's becoming increasingly likely that people may hold assets in more than one country. So in keeping with our moving and working abroad series, we thought we'd now cover how your UK assets will be treated in the event of your death overseas.
A question of origin
Simply, it all comes down to what's known as your 'domicile', this can dictate the tax treatment of your worldwide assets. It's a complex area so we thought it useful to pull together this short Q&A to cover some of the finer points for you.
What is a domicile?
Your domicile's usually the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born. However it may have changed if you moved abroad and you don't intend to return.
How does my domicile affect tax?
If you're considered to be UK domiciled, all your worldwide assets will be subject to UK Inheritance Tax (IHT) and all the normal UK exemptions such as the nil rate band, currently £325,000, are available. However, the tax due could be offset through any relevant double taxation agreement in place between the UK and your new country of residence.
What's double taxation, sounds costly?
It's not, the purpose of the double taxation agreement is exactly as it says, to ensure you don't pay tax twice. The agreement outlines which country will apply tax in certain situations. So if UK IHT is applied, there should be no further tax due in your country of residence. If not UK domiciled only your UK assets will be liable to UK tax. Again these assets can still benefit from all the normal UK exemptions.
Under UK law, individuals will generally, but not necessarily, be domiciled in the country where they have their permanent home. It's separate from nationality or residence, and it is only possible to have one domicile at any given time.
Can I change my domicile?
Yes, an individual can change their UK domicile status and adopt a domicile of choice. To do so, they must leave the UK and settle in another country. Strong evidence will be required of an intention to live there permanently or indefinitely. Living in another country for a long time, although an important factor, is not enough in itself to prove a new domicile.
I live overseas but still come back to the UK regularly – could I be considered UK resident?
In short yes, but the rules are complicated. In simple terms, you need to be aware of your connections to the UK and how often you come over. If you're unsure then you can get some government guidance on tax on foreign income here
Seek advice
Hopefully we've managed to give you some pointers, but as we mentioned earlier it's a complex area, so if you believe it will apply to you then it's important to take legal advice in both the UK and your country of residence.

This information is based on our understanding of taxation legislation and regulations in September 2015. The legislation and regulations can change. Your personal circumstances also have an impact on tax treatment.

A letter to Ministers by a member of the public, Xavier Chong to Singapore ministers about the behaviour of Minister of Home Affairs and Law, K Shanmugam at the hearing of the Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods.
I initially hesitated but feel compelled to write this email.
The recent "Fake News" hearings frankly appeared nothing more than a sham. Besides the huge backlash that it has created, the whole proceedings also sullied Singapore's hard-earned reputation globally.
In particular, I found Mr. K Shanmugam's questioning of the Facebook representative during the hearing not just distasteful, but plain rude and disrespectful – even towards a fellow human being.
I wonder how someone like him could be a "Minister" in Singapore's cabinet.
For lack of better description, he behaved like a "thug in a suit" – a "wolf in sheep's clothing"!
Singapore's economy is already in a very bad shape. His actions (convening this whole "Fake News" Select Committee, and then conducting it in such an obscene manner) has imposed a huge cost on Singapore – both in terms of foregone domestic productivity, as well as dented our global reputation.
It is shameful that despite having been in politics for over 30 years and as one of PAP's longest serving MPs, K Shanmugam has failed to earn the respect of Singaporeans. Instead, he is increasingly becoming a liability for the People's Action Party and for Singapore.
As a very concerned Singaporean, I hope he will retire in this cabinet reshuffle and allow a new generation of leaders to repair the damage done and take Singapore forward!

text: Submitted by firstname.lastname@example.com on Fri, 05/10/2019 We celebrate teacher appreciation this week. Teacher – it's a word that has strong connotations for each of us. As I contemplated why we appreciate teachers, I thought of the women and men who guided me on the path that led me to this time and place. Ms. Moll, who was my first crush (albeit in second grade), in part because she created a space where I could let go of fear and excel. Mrs. Ford, who elicited talents I didn't know I had. Mrs. Mitchell, who inspired me to express my voice. They showed me encouragement and compassion. But they also challenged me to grow. The love of learning they instilled led me to three degrees in three different disciplines and a career in education. As a result, I spent 15 years teaching college students. During one professional development retreat, we were encouraged to answer the question, "When I am at my best as a teacher, I am like a (fill in the blank)." I chose Jedi Master (of course). A jedi spends years in training, then training others, practicing the same things over and over, like a samurai warrior, circling deeper and deeper into the truth of life, shedding obstacles that come from fear and hate, using the self as the tool to connect with the invisible but very real spiritual foundation of all things. A jedi master leads others, sometimes by getting out of the way and allowing them to succeed, or to fail, to learn the full truth of the lesson. Okay, so a teacher can dream, right? I would love to think I am a master at something. But all students want to learn from someone who is a master. Jesus was often referred to as "rabbi," meaning teacher or master. He clearly was both. He taught his disciples lessons using everything from stories, to fishing expeditions, to healing people on days he wasn't allowed to do so. Jesus was a master teacher. He sets the example not just for our spiritual lives, but for our lives, period. And that example shows us that The Way is paved with teaching and learning. Do we value teachers to the degree that we should as individuals, a school, or a culture? There is perhaps no greater argument for the well deserved veneration of teachers than that Jesus showed us that we all need to learn, to dig deeper, to see what lies under our often false assumptions and blind ignorance. And we need teachers who, like Jesus, know The Way but are humble enough to get out of the way when a disciple needs room to practice on her own. After spending a year observing our teachers, I am grateful that we are blessed with masters who know The Way because they see God's image in each student here. They tell insightful stories. They set students on adventurous quests. They allow for success and failure. And like true masters, they are humble enough to know that the lesson they teach is not their own – it comes from the one who sent them. Thank you, teachers. Michael C. Smith, Ed.D. Head of School

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville has Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson and the Cardinals are motivated to build on their best Atlantic Coast Conference finish.
Rebounding from the stretch-run meltdown that followed the Cardinals' 9-1 start last year also provides incentive to close the deal.
"You can be motivated by your successes or be motivated by your failures," coach Bobby Petrino said of moving past the three-game slide that ended last season.
"The one thing you need to keep in mind is that with all the great things we did and the success we had," the coach said, "we have to address why we didn't succeed, learn from it and get to work."
With Jackson eager to follow up his stellar season and a veteran defence, the Cardinals (9-4, 7-1 ACC) believe they have the components to make another run at the Atlantic Division title after tying with Clemson. (The Tigers earned the tiebreaker with a 42-36 win over the Cardinals.)
Leading the way is Jackson, who believes winning the ACC is only the start for Louisville.
"A national championship, that's what I want," said Jackson, whose numerous school records included 3,543 yards passing, 1,571 rushing and 51 combined touchdowns.
"We need to get it," Jackson said. "We've got the team to do it, too."
Eight pounds of muscle have bulked Jackson up to 212 as he works more under centre this season. The youngest Heisman recipient shuns talk of becoming only the second trophy winner after Archie Griffin (1974,'75), smiling mostly about winning more games.
Jackson's prospects depend on finding new targets after losing his top three receivers from last season. Running back Jaylen Smith (382 yards rushing, 8 TDs) returns for a Cardinals backfield needing to build depth.
Louisville's offensive line meanwhile must replace three starters and bounce back from a collapse in which it yielded 22 of its 46 sacks in the final three games.
"We weren't consistent," junior tackle Lukayus McNeil said of the unit's struggles. "We're focused on improving that this year."
Nine defensive starters return including cornerback Jaire Alexander, whose five interceptions led Louisville. Making big plays instead of allowing them, as the Cardinals did late last season, is a priority.
Other things to look for from Louisville this season:
TRADING PLACES: Louisville and Mississippi State essentially swapped defensive co-ordinators, with Peter Sirmon taking over the Cardinals while Todd Grantham is in Starkville with the Bulldogs. Sirmon's resume' includes stints at Power Five schools such as USC, Washington, Tennessee and Oregon. That background helps Sirmon as he inherits a unit that ranked 14th nationally last season and allowed 322.2 yards per contest.
UTILITY PLAYER: Not long ago, Reggie Bonnafon was showing his mobility as the Cardinals' QB before Jackson came along the next year. The Louisville native moved to receiver last season and caught 13 passes for 159 yards and five TDs, but starts over this fall at running back. Petrino insists that might be Bonnafon's natural position and vows to get the ball in the senior's hands a lot more than before.
EXCUSE THE MESS: The Cardinals will play under a backdrop of construction as the north end zone of Papa John's Cardinal Stadium is enclosed. The $63 million renovation is scheduled for completion by next season and will expand seating capacity by 10,000 to 65,000.
KEY GAMES: A trio of challenges begins Sept. 2 against Purdue and new coach Jeff Brohm, a former Cardinals QB and assistant. Consecutive ACC games follow at North Carolina (Sept. 9) before Louisville hosts a showdown against defending national champion Clemson the next week. A visit to conference favourite Florida State (Oct. 21) could determine whether Louisville contends for the Atlantic Division title.
PREDICTION: The schedule gives the Cardinals a chance to match last year's win total. But they again must hurdle Clemson and FSU in the division, a task that requires reducing turnovers, sacks and defensive breakdowns. Not to mention, using Jackson as often as possible — again.
SEASON OPENER: Louisville faces Big Ten Conference Purdue on Sept. 2 in Indianapolis.
