Frequently Asked Questions
Will I receive confirmation of my journey?When booking online, you will receive two separate emails. The first email confirms we have successfully received your payment, and we are in the process of confirming your journey with our fleet. A second email will be sent to you confirming your driver has been allocated, and you're all booked. If, in the unlikely situation we are unable to cover your journey, we will automatically refund your booking giving you plenty of time to make alternative arrangements.
How do I pay?You can pay by credit/debit card or by cash to the driver on the day. We accept all major cards including American Express as payment.
Do you provide a receipt?We will email you a receipt with a booking reference and contact number by email.
Is the payment secure?Yes, this payment is 100% safe, and we do not store your card details on our system.
Are there any surcharges?We pass on the credit card fees at the rate charged. We only do this to help keep our prices low for customers paying by debit card and cash.
Why is the price I've been quoted more than advertised on the website?The fares advertised are our typical fares for our standard vehicle, however, fares can sometimes be higher depending on the time of day and day of the week. Fares can also be higher on bank holidays and at other busy periods.
Can I book a vehicle with a child seat?Should you require a car seat, please provide details in the child seat request box when making your booking and we will endeavour to meet your requirements.
Do I need to tip?No, the price you pay covers everything. In the UK tipping is optional. However, on an airport journey in a booked minicab, you might wish to tip two or three pounds if the driver helps with your luggage.
Where do I meet my driver when I land at the airport?Your driver will be waiting for you in arrivals holding a 'meet & greet' board with your name clearly written on it. Ensure you provided a working mobile number and your phone is switched on. We will try and contact you if we have any difficulty finding you. Please take a note of our phone number this is sent in your booking confirmation email so you can ring us should you need to.
When do I need to be at the airport by?We advise you get to the airport as early as possible. You should always allow 30 minutes to get through security.
- Long-haul and El Al: three hours before scheduled departure
- European flights: two hours before scheduled departure
- UK and Ireland flights: 90 minutes before scheduled departure
How much time do I need to leave from my flight landing to booking a taxi?The time can vary quite a lot depending on airport and time of day. We recommend you book for 30 to 45 mins after you land but that you also give us your flight number. Our experienced drivers will know how long you need to come out of the terminal.
Do you need to know the flight number or terminal building?It's best you give us the flight number or airline name, from this, we can work the rest out. Don't worry if you don't know the terminal number.
Am I charged if my flight is delayed?No, we do not charge you any extra if your flight is delayed. We always check your arrival time before we dispatch your driver.
I have a lot of luggage, will it fit?If you're not sure your luggage will fit in the vehicle you've selected, it probably won't. The best option when booking with large amounts of luggage is to book the next available vehicle size up. For example, if you are booking a saloon, book an estate. If you are booking a six-seater MPV book an eight-seater minibus and if you are booking a twelve-seater minibus book a sixteen-seater minibus. The price difference is often not that much greater, and it will ensure you have a more comfortable ride. And remember, if you're booking with a return you may have more luggage on the way home.
I'm a single female passenger, How safe are your drivers?When you travel with us, you'll travel with approved drivers only. These are the driver who has gone through a strict vetting process. All drivers have a minimum of 2 years experience. All journeys are logged, The details of the journey are comprehensive, and they include drivers details, pick up and drop off details, plus the journey is tracked via GPS.
What is your Passenger Safety policy?We've taken a rigorous approach to ensuring the companies and drivers we work with are the best and safest operators in the UK because your Safety is our priority. Every one of our partner companies is licensed with the Public Carriage Office (PCO) and are fully insured. Also, they all guarantee an exceptional level of customer service via email and over the phone. Our partners are fully licensed with the PCO, which means:
- Drivers have passed criminal record checks with the Criminal Records Bureau.
- Drivers have passed medical checks.
- Drivers hold valid EU driver's licenses.
- All cars are less than five years old and checked for safety every six months.
Why do you have a countdown timer?When we search for a quote, we fetch the price and availability in real-time. We then hold the vehicle and the availability for you at the price. Our transport providers price and availability can change at any time. This is similar to the experience you might find when booking a flight or hotel.
Do you operate a fixed price policy?Price quoted online is the price you pay.
Is the price per person?No, the price you see is the total price.
Are there any time restrictions?No, we operate 365 days a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
How long will the driver wait for me?Your ride includes 15 minutes' waiting time for standard pickups and 45 minutes for airport pickups (unless otherwise stated). Even if your driver has arrived early, your included waiting time starts from the time you booked your ride.
What are 'one-way' and 'return' bookings?A one-way booking is a single journey from A to B, such as from the airport to your hotel. The price is based on the number of miles driven. A return booking is a two-way journey from A to B and back again, such as from the airport to your hotel and then back from the hotel to the airport a few days later.
How much waiting time do I get with additional pickup and drop offs?Each via allows five minutes of waiting time per pick up, the driver may charge extra if this is exceeded. Costs are at the discretion of drivers. If you require additional waiting time, this should be agreed with the transport company before the booking takes place.
Do I need to have an account with you to book a taxi?No, you can book a taxi without an account, however, creating an account provides an easy way to manage all of your taxi bookings in one place.
Do I get a driver with a minibus or coach?Yes. All our ground transport bookings come with a driver. We do not offer a rental service.
How do I know you have availability?We have a network of over 1000 operators, if we can not supply the vehicle in the first instance we will be able to book the journey with one of our other partner companies. We will do this automatically and for the same price. If you're booking for an event like a race day or music festival or if you are booking a large vehicle, we recommend you book as far in advance as possible to guarantee your booking.
I have not received my booking confirmation email?The first thing to do is check your spam folder, If you can't find your email, you can find your booking by logging in to your user account or by creating a user account with the same email address as the one you made with your booking.
How do I know the service is reliable?To date, we have provided ground transport services for over 500,000 happy customers.
Are your drivers licensed?Yes, it is required by UK Law that all taxi companies are licensed by the Public Carriage Office or Transport for London.

JENKS, Okla. – A woman in her 80s met her 94-year-old half-sister over the Memorial Day weekend — the first time the siblings had ever set eyes on each other.
KOTV reports (http://bit.ly/1nuu2Ia ) that 85-year-old Zelda Gates didn't even know she had a half-sister until she read her father's will.
On Monday, Gates finally met Reta Knight, her older half-sister, in Jenks, about 12 miles south of Tulsa.
Knight says her father left her and her mother and she always wondered why. She says her mother was evasive when she asked, so she didn't push the subject.
Family members used old pictures and online genealogy resources to make sure of the connection.
Gates says meeting her sister for the first time was wonderful. She noted that the two look alike too.

The Quranic Arabic Dependency Treebank (QADT)
The Quranic treebank is an effort to map out the entire grammar of the Quran by linking Arabic words through dependencies. The linguistic structure of verses is represented using mathematical graph theory. The annotated corpus provides a novel visualization of Quranic syntax using dependency graphs.
The Ontology of Quranic Concepts
The Quranic Ontology uses knowledge representation to define the key concepts in the Quran, and shows the relationships between these concepts using predicate logic. Named entities in verses, such as the names of historic people and places mentioned in the Quran, are linked to concepts in the ontology.

Do you look forward to summer,to be in your element or are you just sick and bored with all the hype
And what about all the competition, the Langda, the Himsagar, the Hapoos, running the rat race, do you really want to be there
Do you want to be the chosen one to be sent overseas or you would rather get your guts sucked out by the little boy on the dusty road
Do we even care what you think, no wonder you are sour at times but then your sunny soul takes over and you spread your warm yellow sweetness
But Mango, we really love thee.
I am not sure if the above is a food art that deserves to go to Indira for her Mango Manthram, but I will send it over and see.
Talking of mangoes, I love the hot, sweltering, Indian Summer. I am not sure I loved it as much when I actually survived it. But now when my Ma cribs about the temps soaring to the 40's and it being extremely hot and unbearable, I sympathize with her audibly but secretly I am pining for that heat, for the relief that the whirring fan would bring after a prolonged power cut, the coolness of the watermelon sherbet that waited for me when I reached home after a sweaty bus journey, the cool feel of the marble floor soon after it had been freshly mopped.There is pure pleasure in seeking out comfort instead of it being served on a platter.
Now every summer my Ma would do this particular Puja called "Jai Mangalbar" each Tuesday of some summer month. I do not remember the details, it was kind of a fast or actually a vrata followed by a katha/story and Puja for the Goddess Mangalchandi who I am sure is one of the many embodiments of Durga. Only that it was not fast in the real sense, you went without breakfast in the morning and then at lunch instead of the usual, rice-daal and fish curry you had a special delicious spread taking full advantage of the summer bounty a la Mangoes. So lunch was "Chire Doi Aam" which means beaten rice or poha mixed with yogurt, sweet ripe mangoes, bananas and the whole thing sweetened with sondesh. This was also called "Falar"(Falahar or fruit diet) for some unknown reason as it was not strictly fruits that you ate.
This simple dish was so delicious that after having the Prasad for a a week or two, I decided to go the whole nine yards and jumped into the "Jai Mangalbar" bandwagon. It was summer hols anyway and I woke up late, so skipping breakfast wasn't a big deal. A quick bath and a few mantras and rituals later I would join my Ma for this special lunch sitting on the cool floor of the Puja Room.
The strange thing is this concoction of Chire, Doi and Aam could be normally had at any day of the week without the "holy" tag and was often offered to me as an evening snack or breakfast during the summer. But there was some kind of a special feel about having it on those particular summer Tuesdays, sitting on the Puja room floor with my Ma & Grandma, the heady smell of the incense and flowers making the dish ethereal.
When I got the first ripe mangoes of this season, I was craving this simple dish. I had it for breakfast sitting on the dining table on a regular weekday, not exactly the same effect that the mantra, the katha , the incense and the Langda would induce in this simple dish but it was a joy none the less.
Chire Doi Aam
Soak 1 cup of beaten rice(raw poha) for a minute or so in water. The poha I get here gets soft very quickly and needs minimal soaking, you might need to soak yours longer till it is soft but not mushy. Drain the water completely and transfer to a bowl. Add about ½ cup of plain yogurt. Peel and add the flesh of one ripe, sweet mango. Add half a banana chopped. I added about 1 tbsp of jaggery instead of sondesh to sweeten it. You can add other forms of sweetener too. Mix well, umm... your fingers being the best mode as you can lick off them too. Eat immediately.
This healthy and ideal summery breakfast is my entry for May Mango Madness (WBB #22) hosted by Escapades. I just came across the Beautiful Bones event by Susan at Food Blogga, my Mom suffers from osteoporosis and I might be at risk too though I haven't got tested yet and so I thought this would be a easy simple brekfast that gives you your calcium from yogurt and bananas. Also vitamin B-12 and vitamin K may reduce fracture risk by increasing bone mineral density as well as the improvement of bone microarchitecture and mangoes provide a good source of both.
Trivia: Chandi is one of the most popular folk deities in Bengal, and a number of poems and literary compositions in Bengali called Chandi Mangala Kavyas were written from 13th century to early 19th century. These had the effect of merging the local folk and tribal goddesses with mainstream Hinduism. (The Wiki)
Personally I feel these folk cum religious rituals played a more social than religious part. In an era when the women were deprived of simple pleasures and denied good food, if you notice most of these rituals practiced by women folk of the house had good food as an important part of the process, thus giving the women an excuse to savor the nicer things which they were normally deprived of.

A quick and easy meal, perfect for Meatless Mondays! A combination of Shiitake, Baby Portabella and Cremini mushrooms with noodles in a light creamy sauce.
I played around with Mushroom Stroganoff a few times last week (until we were sick of it) for a Meatless Monday option. Now don't get me wrong, I love Beef Stroganoff, so for me it was a challenge to get the flavor of the beef without using any meat as well as keeping it creamy yet light. The bonus of making it without the beef is that you can eat more for less calories and fat.
Using a variety of mushrooms gave nice textures and flavor and the Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste helped give me some of that beef flavor I was looking for. I love Ronzoni Smart Taste noodles, I think they have the best taste but No-yolk and Healthy Harvest are also good options.
As a kid, I always topped my Stroganoff with grated Parmesan cheese. This is completely optional, but I personally think it makes any noodle dish go from good to great. Hope you enjoy!

Calories: 268 • Fat: 3.5 g • Carbs: 52.5 g • Fiber: 7 g • Protein: 12.5 g • Sugar: 4.5 g
Sodium: 312 (without salt)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 cups fat-free, less-sodium vegetable broth (or beef if you're a carnivore)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp tomato paste
- 5 oz sliced Cremini mushrooms
- 8 oz sliced baby Bella mushrooms
- 3.5 oz Shiitake mushrooms
- 1/4 tsp thyme

- 2 tbsp white wine or sherry
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 8 oz uncooked noodles (Ronzoni Smart Taste, Healthy Harvest or No-Yolk)
- 1 tbsp minced fresh flat-leaf parsley for garnish
Cook noodles in a pot of salted water according to package directions, I like to under-cook them a bit so I can mix it with the sauce and let it finish cooking.
Meanwhile, while the water starts to boil for the noodles, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter over medium heat and add onions to the pan. Cook 2 – 3 minutes over medium-low heat.
Add flour; stir with a wooden spoon for 30 seconds. Gradually add broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste, stirring constantly. Add mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper; stir and cook 4-5 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly.
Add wine; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 30 seconds. Stir in sour cream; add noodles, mix well and garnish with parsley if desired.

Tiffen 82mm Circular Polarizer Filters - Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.
If you're out walking on a lovely day - in the mountains or at the beach - and you want to get a fabulous shot of a cloud-filled sky or make the water seem more saturated, then a polarizer is the way to go. This filter is the best way to make the clouds stand out, increase or decrease the saturation of the ocean or increase or decrease the reflection off the water. You can also use this filter when shooting into glass or windows since it will, again, either increase or decrease reflections.
If you're shooting black and white and want to simulate a threatening storm, try throwing on a #25 Red filter. The vista will take on the appearance of an imminent, ominous storm.
Along with a UV or Skylight Filter, a polarizing filter should be a part of everyone's gear bag. It can turn a run-of-the-mill image into a stunning, creative photo by increasing color saturation.

Air sample collection gives you factual evidence about the current state of your air quality. We can gather samples of air from areas you smell or see something out of the ordinary. If there are small indications of water damage on a wall we can do in-wall samples to conclude if there is a issue beneath the surface.

Professional Background:
Licensed Florida Mold Assessor, InterNachi Certified Home Inspector, IAC2 Mold Certified, Micro Certified.
Certified Boston Mold Inspector, InterNACHI Certified Home Inspector, IAC2 Mold Certified, Micro Certified. BS, MBA, Home inspectors license #647
Major Metro Served: How long have you lived here and what do you like most about living in this area.
I was born and raised in Boston Massachusetts and plan on living here forever. I love the area and all it has to offer. I service the Boston and the southern New England area and know it very well. I understand the people here and I understand what makes New England special. I like that the people here are straightforward and honest, like myself.
What do you like most about being a mold inspector?:
I get to meet new and interesting people everyday. I also like that I can provide information to help my clients so they can make good decisions in their life. Whether it be helping them find out what the source of their mold problem is and what steps they need to take to have it restored back to a habitable environment. To helping them know what is going on in the house they are looking to purchase.
Describe an inspection that you are particularly proud of: (Specifics on mold issue, Client relationship, What was rewarding about it)
Last month I had a customer who could not enter the house. Every room in the house had mold in it. I was able to find out where the mold originated and document how the mold got moved around the house. Finding the source and how it cross contaminated the rest of the rooms allowed me to write a comprehensive report that provided the steps for removal. The client was so happy that she could shop around and get estimates and begin the process of having her home clean again.
Why should a prospective client choose you to perform their mold inspection?:
Clients should choose MI&T in the Boston area because I do my inspection slowly and I try to get everything covered using my tools and my experience. I don't belittle the customer and I provide easy-to-understand information. I am reliable and very knowledgeable and always have their best interest in mind.
Mold Inspection & Testing Tewksbury Massachusetts
For clients that do have elevated levels of mold in their residence, we offer a full protocol for remediation. This includes a step-by-step process for how the labor should be handled and who should be doing the work. Mold remediation is different than a standard remodeling job. When removing moldy materials, you are sending thousands of mold spores into the air. For this reason, problem areas should be contained and equipped with an airscrubber while work is being done. After contaminated materials are removed, walls must be hepa vaccumed and treated with antimicrobial solutions and sealants. These are things that professional remediation companies have the capabilities of doing that a normal handyman would not. If this type of work is attempted by someone without the proper experience, there is a high chance they will only further the air quality issues within the property or business.
When dealing with these kinds of issues in your residence or business, you want to make sure that you hire a company without a conflict of interest. Hiring a Taunton, Massacusetts mold remediation company to carry out an inspection is an example of what you don't want to do. These companies often offer free inspections to get their foot in their door to pitch a larger, more costly job. As we already mentioned, sometimes clients have tests that come back with no problem at all or one small enough to be handled on their own. A visual inspection could never tell you these types of details and some mold restoration companies would not pass up the opportunity for work by letting you know your concerns are unjustifiable.
Here at Mold Inspection And Testng, we operate under a strong code of ethics. Our inspectors are the best at determining whether or not you have a problem, where the source is, and giving you specialized advice on how to fix it. So if you are worried about your indoor air quality, call the company you can trust at 855-600-6653. We are thrilled to provide our services to all of the following cities around Tewksbury,Massacusetts.
MI&T offers all of Tewksbury MA and surrounding services unbiased mold inspection and mold testing.

The composite timber look frame adds a high-end finish to your canvas print and measures 15mm wide and 50mm deep and floats freely around the wall art.

To allow more room for stretching, each artwork is printed with an additional 45mm of the mirrored image, as well as 25mm of the white border to be wrapped around the stretcher-bar.

Headache Tips from a Mankato MN Chiropractic Office
Just about everyone in Mankato MN suffers from headaches once in a while. Most of them don't require any kind of medical attention and gradually subside with time. It is when a headache starts to interfere with your daily activities or takes them over completely that you need to seek professional attention. Follow these headache tips from a Mankato MN chiropractic office to find relief and stay one step ahead of the problem.
Why Does My Head Hurt in Mankato MN?
There are a host of different "triggers" that may be causing your headaches. Some have to do with your lifestyle choices, some are due to an underlying health condition, some are genetic and some are postural. Some common headache triggers include specific foods, certain smells, bright lights, loud noises, obsessive exercise, changes in blood sugar, using an improper pillow at night, poor posture at work, or poor sleeping habits.
In roughly 95% of headache cases, the headache is not caused by an underlying health issue or disease. Most headaches are the result of muscle tension in your neck and/or upper back caused by spending long hours in one fixed position. This means virtually every headache can be treated by changing your habits and making an appointment with a Mankato MN chiropractor.
Help Yourself First
The most important headache tip you'll receive from Mankato MN chiropractors is to take steps to help yourself. If you have a job that requires you to sit in a static position for several hours per day, force yourself to get up and move around every 30 minutes or so. It doesn't have to be anything substantial. Even a walk around the office or light stretching will do, as long as you aren't sitting.
If you are prone to getting dull throbbing headaches you'll want to avoid engaging in heavy exercise until they are under control. You can still work out, just switch things up to include more low-impact activities. Clenching your teeth during exercise or at any time is another thing to avoid because it causes stress to the joints in your jaw. Dehydration is always a big headache trigger so drink water throughout the day and keep yourself hydrated.
Visiting Your Chiropractor
If you find that your headaches persist, even after following the self-help tips, make an appointment with our Mankato MN chiropractic team at RiverRidge Chiropractic. Spinal adjustments are an effective treatment for headaches that originate in your neck or upper back. Once your misaligned vertebrae are back into position and normal function is restored your headache pain may subside.
At RiverRidge Chiropractic our team is here to help answer your questions. Please feel free to contact us today.

Dear Taylor,
Where the HALE is your dad?! Every time a new photo of you comes out of you at an airport or running around town I hold my breath as I scroll through each image just waiting to see Bid Daddy's face among them. Preferably off to the side, holding a to-go box wearing an XXXL polo shirt and some dad pants but alas he's no where to be found. He's been missing in action for weeks, maybe even a month since we last saw the man we've all come to know and love and refer to affectionately as Big Daddy.
Where could be be? Did he get stuck in Rob's old hotel room jail cell? Was Summit jealous of the coverage Big Daddy was getting from paps so they threw him in the same cell Rob was in for almost a month? Is Big Daddy jealous of Taylor Swift and all the face time she's been getting with YOU? I mean, you took her to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and didn't take Big Daddy? That's blasphemy! They serve red meat there! I would be hurt too. I've even started searching every McDonald's in the Los Angeles area looking for a cuddly dad in a corner self soothing with a Filet-o-Fish while you're out on the town with the other half of Swiftner, but he's no where to be found! It's as if he never existed! Tell him to stop taking Edward's words so literally. I can't take this anymore!
And now you're off gallivanting through foreign countries with KStew with NO parental guidance? Is Big Daddy sitting at home in his easy chair when the newscaster says "It's 10PM do you know when your children are?" and NOT KNOW where you are?! I shudder to think.
I'm worried Taylor! Please tell me Daniel "Big Daddy" Lautner is ok.
It's 10PM do you know where your Big Daddy is?
Oh and Dear Kristen,
Nice outfits! No, I'm serious, I swear!
Thank god for press tours! Oh and wanna share shoes?
<3 sometimes,
What say you? is Big Daddy MIA? Where is he? And do you heart or hate KStew's look in Mexico?

Theodosius the Great (emperor)
For another saint called Theodosius the Great living in the fifth-sixth centuries, see Theodosius the Great (Cenobiarch).
The holy and right-believing Emperor Theodosius I, also called Theodosius the Great, was the last emperor who ruled over both the eastern and western portions of the Roman Empire. He ruled from 379 to 395. Theodosius I is also known for making Christianity the official state religion of the Roman Empire. He was a strong defender of the Orthodox Christian faith and is a saint. His feast day is celebrated on January 17.
Flavius Theodosius was born on January 11, 347, in Cauca (modern Coca) in the Roman province of Spain, the son of Comes Theodosius (the elder) and Thermantia, who both were Orthodox Christians. He married Aelia Flacilla, by whom he had three children: two sons, Arcadius and Honorius (his future successors), and a daughter, Pulcheria. Aelia Flacilla (also Placilla or Plakilla) is commemorated as a saint on September 14. Both Aelia and Pulcheria died in 385. After Aelia's death, Theodosius married Galla, the daughter of Valentinian I, by whom he had a daughter, Galla Placidia, the mother of Valentinian III.
As the son of a senior Roman military officer, Flavius Theodosius accompanied his father to Britannia to quell the Great Conspiracy in 368. In 374, he became the military commander (Dux) of Moesia on the lower Danube River, where he distinguished himself in battles with the Sarmatians. At about the same time that his father suffered disgrace and was executed in 375, Theodosius retired to his estates in Spain, apparently fearing further persecution because of his family ties. But his reputation was not forgotten.
Two co-emperors, Valentinian I and Valens, governed the Roman Empire—Valentinian I in the West and Valens in the East—until the death of Valentinian I. After Valentinian I's death on November 17, 375, his sons, Valantinian II and Gratian, succeeded him as rulers of the Western Roman Empire. Theodosius regained his commission, fought the Sarmatians again, and won the rank of magister militum per Illyricum in 376. In 378, Gratian appointed Theodosius co-augustus for the East after Valens was killed in the Battle of Adrianople. In 383, Gratian was also killed in a rebellion. Also in 383, Theodosius named his son Arcadius as co-augustus in the east. With the death of Valentinian II in 392, Theodosius became the ruler of the Roman Empire as the sole emperor; he was the last Roman emperor to do so.
Upon becoming emperor, Theodosius' attention was called by the entrenched Goths in the Balkans, the solution to which occupied Theodosius for the first two years of his reign. On November 24, 380, Theodosius was finally able to enter Constantinople, and a settlement with the Gothic forces was finally achieved with the signing of treaties on October 3, 382. During the latter 380s, Theodosius was occupied with aiding Valentinian II in the West against the usurper Clemens Maximus. This episode was finally concluded when Theodosius' army defeated Maximus in 388. The captured Maximus was then executed on August 28, 388.
With Valentinian II's death, under questionable circumstances, Theodosius gave his son Honorius the full rank of Augustus of the West in January 393. In the meantime, the magister militum Arbogast, who had served under Valentinian II, elected Eugenius, a former teacher of rhetoric and a pagan, as emperor of the West. Armed force was needed to settle the usurpation. Aiding Honorius, Theodosius led the campaign against Eugenius, culminating in the two-day Battle of Frigidus on September 5 and 6, 394. The first day of the battle did not go well for Theodosius' forces, but the battle turned on the second day after it was said that two "heavenly riders all in white" gave Theodosius courage, and a Bora (natural air current) arose with its cyclonic winds blowing directly into the face of Eugenius' forces, disrupting his line of battle. Eugenius was captured and soon executed.
Trinitarian Christianity
While born into a Christian family, Theodosius was not baptized until 380, when a serious sickness in Thessalonica brought him to make the decision. He was baptized by the Orthodox bishop of Thessalonica, Ascholios, after assuring himself that the bishop was not an Arian. From the start of his reign, a considerable part of Theodosius' activities were spent defending the Orthodox faith and suppressing Arianism. In February 380, he joined with Gratian in a edict declaring that all subjects of their domains should profess the Orthodox faith. Upon entering Constantinople, Theodosius began to expel the Arian party from their hold there. St. Gregory of Nazianzus was elected patriarch of Constantinople by the Second Ecumenical Council, which had been called into session in 381 to deal with a number of issues, including the Creed, various heretics, and the order of honor among the patriarchates.
During his reign Theodosius, while holding strictly to the Trinitarian position of the first two Ecumenical Councils, attempted to be conciliatory with the heretical parties but was not successful. In 388, against the remnants of the pagans, Theodosius took severe measures, sending prefects throughout the Middle East, destroying temples and disrupting pagan associations. In 391, Theodosius refused the restoration of the Altar of Victory in the Roman senate. He also put an end to the Olympic games.
With the rise of Eugenius, the pagan forces made an armed attempt to restore pagan rites. Eugenius set up pagan altars in Rome, including the Altar of Victory. Thus Theodosius' Christian armies met Eugenius near Aquileia on September 6, 394, once more the Christians triumphed over the banner of the ancient gods, and Theodosius entered Rome as the sole emperor of the now finally Christian empire.
Theodosius proclaimed his two sons, Arcadius and Honorius, augusti earlier during his life, and with his death Arcadius became emperor of the eastern half of the empire and Honorius emperor of the western half. Theodosius died in Milan on January 17, 395. St Ambrose, with whom Theodosius had a close relationship, preached his funeral oration ("De obitu Theodosii", P. L., XVI, 1385). With the division of the empire between his sons, his death was a milestone in history: The Roman world was never again to be united.

: impressions of land, sea and sky National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Constable symposium 8 March 2006 John Constable (1776–1837) was one of the greatest British landscape painters, renowned for his landscapes, his 'pure and unaffected representation of nature'. The breadth of his vision of the English countryside is evident in masterpieces such as Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop's Grounds 1822–23, A boat passing a lock 1826 and The Vale of Dedham 1827–28. Constable's works – from the smallest pencil notation or oil sketch to the finished painting – reveal his deep understanding of nature. His rapid, on-the-spot sketches, such as Rainstorm over the sea c.1824–28, brought a new vivacity to the observation of nature, capturing the effervescent sensations of light and atmosphere. His art became the benchmark for naturalist painters in Europe in the nineteenth century. French artists were the first to be stimulated by the innovative character of his work, which brought a new boldness to the handling of paint. Constable was a great innovator, but he also had a passionate interest in the works of the Old Masters, and in particular the great tradition of landscape painting of Claude and Ruisdael. He continued to study and copy the work of earlier artists for as long as he lived, constantly juxtaposing their interpretations of the natural world against his own experience of it. In some of his finest paintings, such as The Vale of Dedham, he adapted Claude's compositional structure of trees framing a view overlooking a valley. Constable had long felt that the sky was 'the chief organ of sentiment' in a painting, and Constable: impressions of land, sea and sky will include a group of his well-known sky studies, which capture unique atmospheric effects. These sky studies are wonderfully observed, recording the time of day, date, wind direction and weather conditions under which they were painted. They are also evidence of the astonishing range and skill of his oil-sketching method of painting outdoors, capturing the passing effects of nature and changing light. Later in his life Constable began to use stormy weather more self-consciously, as expressive of his own feelings. Constable's subjects were connected to the places he lived in and knew well. He combined truth to nature with truth to feeling. He created landscapes in which man worked in harmony with nature, capturing the freshness and sparkle of the landscape under sun and rain.

Financial Data Source and Analysis Principles
The above is a comparative analysis of the company's financial position and performance. The comparison is based on official financial statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (EDGAR) (about 10,000 largest publicly traded companies). The comparison is made using the eleven key financial ratios (see the table above). The company's financial ratios are compared with the median of the ratios for all companies and for companies in the same industry, as well as to the quartiles of these ratios. Each ratio value is assigned a score between -2 and +2 depending on its position relative to the quartiles (-2 – below the first quartile; -1 – between the first and the second quartile; +1 – between the second and the third quartile; +2 – above the third quartile; 0 – the ratio value deviates from the median by no more than 5% of the difference between the median and the quartile closest to the ratio value). To draw a conclusion from the analysis, the individual scores are weighted equally to produce an overall score ranging from -2 and +2.
much better (+1 - +2incl) | |
better (from 0.11 to +1incl) | |
about the same (from -0.11incl to +0.11incl) | |
worse (from -1incl to -0.11) | |
much worse (from -2incl to -1) |
Change during the year is calculated by comparing the resulting score of financial position within the industry with the last year's (quarter's) score. The result of the comparison may be as follows:
significantly improved (positive change of more than 1 point) | |
improved (positive change of less than 1 point) | |
unchanged (little or no change in score, no more than 0.11 points) | |
deteriorated (the score has decreased by less than 1 point during the year) | |
deteriorated significantly (the score has decreased by more than 1 point during the year) |
Please note that this analysis does not indicate that the company's financial position is good or bad, but rather describes it in comparison to other U.S. businesses. For a detailed financial analysis, please use "ReadyRatios Financial Analysis" - load the data into the program>>
