Sarah White
"I wanted to write to say how excellent your Doctor was during my HGV medical today in Segensworth. I was very impressed with the whole experience in dealing with your company. The facilities, were clean, easy to find, with adequate parking. I shall definitely be recommending yr firm to other HGV drivers & firms." Gordon Currie
"From booking my appointment for today and turning up early, i was seen early by the doctor and all was ok. My HGV was due to expire soon and was a lot easier and cheaper using your service in Chatham than my normal doctor, so thanks to all involved". John Woodman
"Once again thank you for your help and support with DVLA. it wouldn't be possible without your cooperation .I'll update you as soon I receive a call from DVLA. definately let you know the outcome of the application. I am highly impressed and inspire from your customer service and professionalism. Special thanks to Dr Phil Thornley for his efforts, putting his all efforts after a very busy schedule. Kind regards" I Aulia
I've just had a medical with you in Norwich. Booking the appointment by phone was quick and very easy. The instructions received by email were clear and easy to follow. I arrived early and the woman on the desk knew who I was and was very polite and professional. I chatted with a young man while waiting. The doctor greeted me on time and was very friendly and professional. Very pleasant experience and would go back again. Richard Button
"Just thought I would write back and let you know that the venue at Grays in Essex was excellent. I was able to park outside for free and grab a cup of tea from the cafe before my appointment. Dr Haroon was very charming and professional. I shall recommend your services to other drivers. Thank you."
Adrian Polley, Dagenham
"Thank you all. What a great service, I will be back again!" David Moreton, Coventry
Thought I would send you an email to say what a fantastic service you are providing in Norwich at a very reasonable price, my previous experience is one of high cost for the exact same medical usually in a facility for the offshore industry, your doctor was very friendly a really nice man, I will be recommending you to all of my fellow lorry drivers for when they need their medicals doing, Regards Tom Laxon
"I attended a medical on Monday. From my initial enquiry with Helena and my confirmation with Steve to the medical with Dr Bell I cannot recommend your company enough. Friendly attitude. Professional service. And perfect location choice in Doncaster. (genius). I wish your business every success. You've got a brilliant team. All the best, Tony"
"Having worked alongside Cotswold Medicals for as long as I have, you have always provided clients with an excellent service but Dr Thornley has exceeded my expectations. Please pass on my thanks and best wishes." Patsy, HCT Group, London
"I just wanted to say how impressed I have been with the whole process of having my medical through your company. After only being offered one date and time by my GP practice, which was unsuitable for me, I took to the internet to try and make alternative arrangements. I am so glad that I did and that I came across your website. Helena who arranged my appointment was extremely helpful and quickly found a suitable appointment time, which fitted around my work. In addition, the cost was half that of an appointment with my own GP. The confirmation letter was very informative, with accurate directions to the location and Dr Khosla was very pleasant and thorough. In fact, when I couldn't get my car started after the appointment he offered to help me. I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone requiring a driver's medical". Jenny, Stafford
"Had a medical with you this morning in Doncaster. After finding you on the web rang up, booked and attended. Fantastic service, so easy, people all so very polite. Will not hesitate in using you again. Will recommend you to others and many thanks for a superb service". Mr J Hollis, Lincoln
"Thank you so much for getting the medical appointment as such short notice, I was so glad to have come across your website, and such a saving on Kettering prices, which ranged from £121 to £165." John Meredith, Kettering
"Dr Haroon who I saw in Bedford came out for me early, and did a thorough eye test, blood pressure reading, and a proper chat about general health and wellbeing. I felt relaxed and cared for. I'll not hesitate in recommending you to my employer, and look forward to using your service again in 5 years time!" Darron Keeling
"Kate, I just wanted to say thank you for getting my medical arranged so easily - and please pass on my thanks around the office; I didn't catch the name of the lady I spoke to before you but it was so nice to be dealt with in such a friendly and professional manner. Should I meet anybody in the future who needs to get a driver's medical then for sure I will recommend that they talk to you. (And yes, you can use that on your website!)" Mark Crowley Russell
Thank you very much Matthew and all your team. Excellent service! I'll recommend to anyone of my friends in future! Thanks again." Chris Gooderham, Lowestoft
"Just thought I would write back and let you know that the venue at Grays in Essex was excellent. I was able to park outside for free and grab a cup of tea from the cafe before my appointment. Dr Haroon was very charming and professional. I shall recommend your services to other drivers. Thank you." Adrian Polley, Dagenham

"I recently attended an HGV/LGV Drivers' Medical at one of your clinics in Derby. My reason for writing is to thank you for the immediate, polite and helpful advice that I was given. The medical practitioner I saw was most professional. More importantly, the service that was provided was in short, a top drawer service and one that I would/will be recommending!" Ade Wills, Derby
"Can I please congratulate your organisation on the professionalism. Dr Seward in Chester - great - thorough, and a real gentleman. See you next year." E.M.Evans
"The service was fantastic from beginning to end. It was all so simple, from the very first phone call to the clear instructions and the medical itself. The clinic was easy to find and the doctor was there to greet me. The price is simply fantastic and I couldn't be happier! I will be mentioning your great service to my friends and colleagues and would like some flyers to hand out." David Williams, Newport
"I'm thoroughly impressed! People don't give praise enough though they're quick to complain. Your service is outstanding. Us professional drivers are grossly under-appreciated and it's brilliant to find a company such as yourselves trying to help out. That most GPs charge in excess of £130 in some cases is astonishing - and disconcerting. Keep up the good work." Steve Dyke, Sheffield
"I would just like to pass on my sincerest thanks and gratitude to both Becca and Dr Godley (Doncaster) for an outstanding job well done. As a Ex Warrant Officer in logistics, it is all too frequent in this day and age to receive poor and shoddy service, something I was not accustomed to in the military, but this cannot be said of both Becca and Dr Godley. Many thanks to you both and many thanks to Cotswold Medicals for an outstanding service. I wish you all the best for the future. Geoff Burkill, Training Manager, Carl Stahl Evita Ltd"
"I try to direct most of our drivers to your company as I do find you are thorough and complaint free! When at conferences, meeting my peers, I always recommend your company.

"I had a problem with some paperwork and you sorted it out instantly without any inconvenience to me." John O'Connell, West Midlands
"I've been coming to you in Weston-super-Mare for several years. I usually see the same doctor. He's always very thorough and gives me a good examination." Anthony Dibble, Weston-super-Mare
"I'm 69 and was going to give up because I didn't want to pay my GP £120... and then I found you." J Brown, Darlington
"I contacted you because I needed my drivers medical urgently. I called this morning and easily managed to fix up an appointment thanks to the lovely and very helpful lady I spoke with on the phone. You guys have been a great help. Thanks again." Tommy Wareham, SuperVettura Sales Ltd
"I came to you because my HGV training school said you were good. You've been amazing! DVLA lost my medical form so the doctor at your head office went to loads of trouble to get a replacement form completed and sent out to me first-class. You didn't charge a penny to do all this. Ben Killingbeck, Essex"
"I ring your office to arrange medicals for our trainees. Your staff are always very polite and efficient. They make the process as easy as possible." Daniel, British School of Trucking
"The lady was very helpful and efficient and you were able to offer me an appointment very quickly. Very efficient!" Mr Hebburn, Bristol
Fellow drivers, I was looking for value for money medical as my GP charges £100. I typed hgv medical into Google looking for doctor in Bristol area, Cotswold Medicals seemed most genuine as they carry out medicals for 'First Bus' in Bristol bus station clinic. I rang on Monday and attended medical Thursday at 17:30 hrs same week.I attended clinic at Little Sodbury not far from junction 18 M4. Genuine and professional and saved a great deal of cash. Mike Newton, Bristol
"The lady I spoke to on the phone was very nice and very helpful." Philip Young, Bath
"I was very impressed with the lady on the phone, she was extremely nice. It was because of her nice manner that I decided to come to you." Gary Norcott
I have been recommending Cotswold Medicals to my trainees for over five years now. My licence is up for renewal next month and I obviously chose Cotswold Medicals. The booking system was easy and quick with a very pleasant (and not at all pushy) lady to talk to on the phone. I used your centre in Nottingham and the medical was carried out by a very thorough doctor who explained everything to me as she did it - as a bloke, I don't look forwards to going to see a doctor! It was all over in around 15 minutes with the D4 medical form filled in and ready to be sent off to the DVLA! I will definitely continue to recommend Cotswold Medicals to my trainees when applying for their LGV licences. Many thanks, Ian Markwick DSA ADI (LGV) Ian Markwick Driver Training Ltd.
"I was lucky to get an appointment just when I wanted one because my lorry was off the road anyway today. I've already told my friend about you." Mr R Uphill, Frome
"I am writing to thank you for providing such a fantastic service. I was advised by a friend of mine to used your services for the driver medical test. My enquiry was handled superbly and i was was able to sit a medical three days after the initial enquiry. The directions and instruction given on the appointment letter were extremely useful. The cost of the medical was also very reasonable.Once again I would like to congratulate and thank you for efforts. (Please feel free to use this in any publications you wish)." Mr J Squires
"A speedy first class service. Good value for money. Just the ticket!"
"I'm really impressed with the service. My dad and my brother are lorry drivers; when they need a medical I'll recommend you." Mr P Jervis, Kent
"I would like to say how pleased I am with your service: everyone from your very friendly and helpful girl on the phone, to the very professional and friendly doctor and his receptionist. They are indeed all a credit to you."
I can't praise your company enough for your service. Thank you Julie. I needed my D4 medical as quickly as possible so i went down to my local surgery to book an appointment and i was quoted 3 to 4 weeks to get a medical, i rang you company on 8th April and they arranged it for 11:30 the next day. Brilliant. Thanks again for your help and you have my full permission to use this letter as you wish. Kindest Regards. John Loftus
"I had a query about my medical history and the girl I spoke to on the phone explained everything really easily." Pat, Yeovil

I deal with a lot of professionals in my line of business and it was great to see that even though your prices are so much lower than other doctors you still offer a highly professional service. Nigel Kemp, CMP Contracts Ltd, London"
"I've been coming to you for years, and to be honest I wouldn't go anywhere else. I think it's great that you give money to charity from every medical." Mr Grey, Swindon
"I've sent hundreds of our drivers to you over the last few years but I've only recently got round to having a medical myself to apply for an HGV. I saw your doctor in Leicester and I was surprised how thorough the medical was. I shall definitely keep on sending our drivers to you!" Jayne Hamley, Scania Driver Experience

"One of your team made a small administrative slipup which was a bit inconvenient for me and I felt quite cross. However, I spoke to Gail who was very professional and really apologetic and did everything she possibly could to sort it out quickly.

Ilkeston, Derbyshire

Gerald Hodgson, Bath
"My appointment booked in Wolverhampton but you telephoned me the day before to tell me you'd noticed I was driving down from Crewe and that you could now fit me in at Stoke-on-Trent.

John and Dylan wake everyone early banging on pots and pans and soon the kitchen is a hive of activity organizing breakfast and bagging up lunches.
They drive out to the day's site, there are several climbing spots close to a dense woodland and they settle in for the day, several of the guys eyeing the woods for their suitability for some outdoor sex. Andy wants to try several things with Spence this trip and has come prepared.
After the party last night everyone is slow to get going. It's as much a social trip as a climbing one and there is no pressure to be particularly active.
Miles and Jesse are the first to venture into the woods for an adventure. It seems all the boys share fantasies of sex against a tree.
Jesse is holding the truck steadying himself as Miles pounds away intensely. It feels so good, so risky, so fun.
Jesse groans and cries out as he cums hard against the wood.
Miles stokes twice more and shudders filling Jesse's ass.
"Oh fuck that was so good. I love you." Miles breathes as they finish.
Jesse tenses and feels sick in shock. It was awesome but he's not in love, nowhere near.
Miles treats him way better than Gervais ever did, takes care of him and more importantly isn't in love with anyone else.
Is that the issue? Does he love the chase? Does he love the stress that he had with Gervais knowing he had to work to hold on to him? Is it just too easy with Miles? Jesse realizes he isn't bothered Miles is bi it was just an excuse to hold him back. He wants out. Shit.
Walking back through the wood they see Andy and Spence walking towards them.
"Come join us." Andy says with a grin.
"Uh we need a little recovery time." Miles laughs.
"Watching us would get you back in the mood." Spence says.
"Maybe another time." Jesse says thinking he would like to go now but accepting he can't treat Miles badly and needs time to think.
"See you later." Andy shrugs.
Spence and Andy head much deeper into the wood, they do not want to be caught, well not by the wrong people. Spence strips off and stands still as Andy deftly knots a rope harness around him, securing his arms at his sides. Spence enjoys being bound by his man and his thick dick is proudly erect as Andy carries out the task.
Dylan and John appear through the trees.
"Thought we were far enough off the path." Andy says with a grin not at all embarrassed.
"As club leaders we needed to come far enough in not to be caught." John says fascinated by the work Andy is doing.
Andy catches him looking.
"John my bitch needs a thorough pounding. I'd love to see you two take a turn." Andy says and Spence whimpers in delight.
John and Dylan look at each other, grin and nod, this saves a 'who is bottoming today' discussion.
"You'll do as I say?" Andy asks and they nod happy to be a part of the scene.
Andy bends Spence at the waist keeping a firm hold of the rope with one hand and slapping his ass with the other.
"Hasn't he got a magnificent rump?" Andy says looking round and grinning.
Dylan and John nod both are practically drooling.
"May I prepare him?" John asks.
Andy nods with a smile.
John sinks to his knees behind Spence and buries his nose between his cheeks before rimming away, John loves to eat ass and Spence has a mighty fine ass. John groans as he gets to work and Spence mews his appreciation.
Dylan and Andy take turns holding Spence steady and stripping off, checking each other out eagerly. Dylan is mesmerized watching his man have so much fun. Andy digs in his bag for condoms and lube and offers both to Dylan who smiles. Andy moves forwards to play with Spence's ass a little getting him good and ready with his fingers. Spence is utterly relaxed, fully in the zone.
John sucks Dylan to make sure he's good and hard, he really doesn't need much help the whole situation has him fully turned on. John rolls a condom onto his boyfriend who steps forward to be first up. He grips the harness in one hand and guides himself in with the other.
Slowly he pushes against Spence's hole trying not to be too eager.
"He can take it, he's a good boy." Andy says ruffling Spence's hair before beckoning John over so he two can make out in front of Spence.
Dylan is soon fully in, gripping the harness to give leverage to be truly balls deep he feels amazing. He starts out slowly giving good long strokes but can't keep reserved for long and starts pounding. The whole situation, his boyfriend kissing another, the super strong masculine Spence bound and at their mercy, he just can't last too long.
"Holy fuck." Dylan screams as he fills his rubber deep in Spence's ass. He leans forward and kisses Spence thank you. John is rubber end and ready to go. He eases his bigger dick in loving that he's going where Dylan just was.
"How was he?" Andy asks as he watches John start his pounding.
"Amazing, so tight and I could go so deep. How do you keep him so tight?" Dylan asks in awe.
"He's all mine and he keeps everything in great shape. He is a perfectionist when it comes to his body, inside and out." Andy grins.
"That ass, oh boy. You are so lucky." Dylan says.
"Your boyfriend is loving it too, look at him go, trying to ruin that hole." Andy grins.
John is having an amazing time, he loves how Spence feels wrapped around his cock. He loves slapping his ass, he loves dominating someone so sporty, strong and manly. It is a total dream come true for John, especially sharing it with Dylan. Seeing Dylan being so dominant was such a turn on, he was back to the man he fell for.
"Arrrrrrrrgh." John and Spence cry together both cumming hard.
Andy grins at his boy's utter helplessness at the assault of John's cock. He takes over rubbing Spence's back and kissing him a little to give him a little break before taking him.
"Give it to me baby, I've been good." Spence pleads and Andy smiles, Spence always wants him, whatever has come before.
Andy pushes in, one hand on the harness the other on Spence's shoulder, knowing his boy is going to be tired he tries to support him well.
Dylan and John are lying on the blanket the brought with them gently making out. Dylan is ready to go again and John is happy to take it. They fuck in rhythm with Andy and Spence and all four grunt and gasp until last they cum within seconds of each other.
Andy leads Spence to the blanket covering him in kisses and loosening the ropes so he can move again.
"Thank you, all of you that was so good." Spence says trying to catch his breath and stop shaking, his legs are like jelly. He lies still as Andy sets him free entirely, giving him lots of kisses and touches. John and Dylan join in worshiping Spence's body and showing him their thanks for a good time. Spence lies back glowing under the attention, so happy to have pleased these men.
Blue and Elliot are hanging out at the climbing site, both tanning away their hangovers.
"Seems like everyone is getting some except us." Blue says as another couple re-emerge from the woods with leaves in their hair.
"I am insanely jealous." Elliot says.
"We should make up for it in our room tonight. Make good on that deal we made." Blue says grinning.
"Seriously? What about Austin?" Elliot asks and Blue shrugs, stands, grins and winks at Elliot who is delighted at the prospect.
Blue heads over to help with the girls group as he can see them moving away from one guy who is helping them. Elliot follows over and the other guys soon back away.
"Is he a problem?" Blue asks.
"Sometimes, more so today as Simone drunkenly kissed him last night." Annie says.
"So embarrassing. He now think we're all after him but I was so wasted." Simone says.
"Aside from him have things been better recently? I saw you all dancing with Robin and Spence last night." Blue says smiling.
"Mostly still one or two pushing their luck and it puts some of the girls off mixing too much." Simone says.
"Are things better for you on campus now?" Annie asks.
"Yeah the occasional name calling but I've not heard of any attacks or anything too bad since Robin's really." Elliot says.
"You know Dylan and John had some trouble after that meeting they got thrown out of. They worried they'd been set up, luckily they are both fast runners and got away." Simone says.
"Shit I didn't know. John and I still talk some but not often. I wish he'd told me." Blue says.
"Still that was a while ago and nothing has happened since." Elliot says.
"And Dylan was a total shit that night, they were not being set up." Blue says.
"Dylan is a shit 90 percent of the time now." Annie says.
"Totally." Elliot says.
"Robin is so cute, we can't believe you brought him to club when he's not single though, I mean come on we have so few options here." Annie laughs.
"Sorry. We brought George." Blue says.
"Is he not gay?" Annie asks.
"He's undecided. A cute girl might help him decide." Elliot says.
"But don't scare him, he's really, really, really nice. No good for you guys who like bad boys." Blue says feeling super protective.
"Sounds like you want him on your team." Annie says.
"I don't want to influence him either way. I just want him to be happy." Blue says causing the girls to awwwww.
That evening the vibe around the pool is much more chilled than the night before. New friendships are forming and everyone is enjoying hanging out. Dylan and John are grilling and Blue has made the veggie dish for the night. He's not eating any though, he's all cleaned up ready for Elliot.
"I'm going to shower, come up in a bit." Elliot says with a wink.
Andy and Spence are sitting a bit apart, Andy is still giving Spence lots of attention. Spence feels amazing, he's proud of what happened in the woods and loves the attention Andy is giving him. John is on cloud 9, he loves that Dylan is back to his old self, and in the woods he was so hot, exactly the sort of guy he wants to be with.
Dylan is feeling pretty good too, he really enjoyed the encounter in the woods and wants a rope work tutorial from Andy. Being around Andy and Spence was eye opening. Dylan is really struggling with his identity since coming out and seeing Spence and Andy in sexual roles that betray the stereotypes for their bodies was really helpful. Dylan loves John but knows he isn't being the best boyfriend. It has been hard to juggle exploring who he is whilst building a solid relationship with John. Coming out has not been quite as freeing as he imagined.
Dylan looks over at Spence and Andy and is jealous of how comfortable they are just being themselves. Blue and Miles are laughing with the girls and totally at ease, Jesse is the only one who looks troubled.
Jesse is feeling totally conflicted. He wants to end things with Miles right now but doesn't want to wreck the atmosphere of the trip and would have nowhere to sleep.
Blue heads up to the room, a little nervous ready for his first one night stand.
"Finally. Let's do this." Elliot says, he's lying on the bed in a towel.
Blue steps forward, Elliot stands and they start to kiss. The break apart and both giggle a little, it feels a bit weird. They try again and this time it is hot.
Elliot quickly undresses Blue and they move to the bed.
"Are you sure about this?" Elliot asks.
"Oh yes, I really want something real inside me." Blue says.
"You been practicing?" Elliot asks.
"Oh yes, dildos for days." Blue laughs.
"You are so hot, your body is amazing. I've admired it so many times in climbing gear to see you naked is amazing." Elliot says running his hands all over his friend.
"You're pretty hot yourself." Blue says smiling.
They lie down and kiss and touch each other, exploring each other's bodies like a feast. They move to a sixty nine position Elliot feasting on Blue's ass as Blue sucks Elliot's dick. Blue loves eating ass himself but can't believe how good it feels he gasps and moans and has to stop sucking for a minute.
"You like that" Elliot asks looking up grinning.
"Soooo good. Man I want you." Blue says.
"I want it too. Ready?" Elliot asks.
"Been waiting all my life." Blue says quietly.
Elliot wraps up and check's Blue is ready. Blue is pretty relaxed and after a bit of work Elliot pushes in, Blue flat spoton his back, his long legs high in the air.
"Fuck it is so hot being inside you with your big dick bouncing around as I push." Elliot grins enjoying the feel of Blue's tight ass and view of his great uncut cock.
All Blue can do is smile and grunt in response. It is finally happening, he feels so full, and every nerve is on fire. He feels so fucking turned on, so excited. Holy shit this is not going to last.
"Ahh, ahh, ahh, Fuuuuuuck" Blue moans as Elliot hits his spot over again.
Elliot looks at Blue losing control and feels amazing.
"Sorry, I'm cumming." Blue blurts out and shoots a huge load, hitting the wall behind him.
"Want me to stop?" Elliot asks.
"No, bang me, fuck me." Blue groans totally out of it in pleasure.
The tightness and the view is getting to Elliot and he loses control himself thrusting into Blue wildly before cumming deep.
"Holy shit you were so tight. You were all relaxed as I went in then it was wow can I even move." Elliot says as he lies next to Blue panting.
"Virgin hole." Blue says kissing Elliot.
"Well I don't need to ask if you had fun." Elliot laughs.
"I imagined it would be good, but not like that, it was amazing. So good. I'm sorry I was so quick." Blue says.
"It was awesome. Don't feel bad, but of recovery and I'll be riding that big cock of yours." Elliot says.
"Sit on my face and I'll be ready in no time." Blue says.
"Challenge accepted." Elliot grins and wriggles in to place.
Holy shit Blue is good at this. Has he really only been with Austin Elliot wonders. Whatever this feels amazing. He leans forward and starts to lick at Blue's big plum head. He's excited and a little nervous about taking it.
Blue enjoys exploring Elliot's cute ass, his tongue can't get enough and he is slightly worried he'll cum before he even gets inside Elliot. He is feeling positive that this will work, that it isn't like it is with Austin, there is so much less at stake, he is just going with it, not worried about staying hard or getting things wrong. For once he's relaxed and having fun.
"You are going to have to let me on or I'm going to cum from your tongue." Elliot grins.
"Yeah I was worried about popping early again." Blue says.
"We are on fire together." Elliot grins.
"For sure, now get riding with that thick tush." Blue says propping himself up on his elbows and pointing to his big cock.
Blue helps steady Elliot as he tries to balance and begin to take Blue. Slowly, he takes a fair few pauses before taking about a third in he begins to bounce a little, taking a little more each time.
"Wow. So fucking big." Elliot groans feeling so happy.
Blue feels good, he has begged Austin to ride him before as he thought it would be hot, with Elliot it really is, he feels good for the first time.
Can I?" Blue asks.
"Don't push too far yet." Elliot says.
Blue grins and begins to buck upwards, Elliot leans back on his hands and groans.
"More, fuck me more. Holy shit, fuck me." Elliot groans after a minute loving every inch.
Blue feels full of strength they switch to doggy for a while and Elliot screams out in delight with every thrust, he has never been so loud.
Blue pulls out and flips Elliot on to his back and re-enters him, usually missionary bores Blue no end but today he's feeling it, he is feeling super turned on and super alive and wants to see every reaction that Elliot has.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck me." Elliot moans grabbing the bed sheets in his hands, his toes curled.
"Take it baby." Blue moans.
"Fuck I'm cumming so hard." Elliot groans and shoots almost as far as Blue did earlier. Blue pulls out, unwraps and sends rope after rope over Elliot. They wipe each other down and look at each other with sparks in their eyes, they nap and fuck all night long.
As the sun comes through the window Blue turns to Elliot.
"This has been amazing. It is such a relief to enjoy sex and find out I don't suck, I just didn't have chemistry with Austin." Blue says.
"Oh you suck, so, so well. Honestly I cannot believe you ever had a bad time, you really care how I'm feeling at every moment." Elliot says.
"We had a lot of fun." Blue says.
"We sure did." Elliot grins sleepily.
"We had fun and we get on pretty well. Maybe when were back at school…." Blue begins before Elliot cuts him off.
"Look Blue we had a lot of fun but I'd have to be out of my mind to date you."

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Talk About Their Normal Lives in Rare Interview
Entertainment 10.03.2017 POPCREED
The famous twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have known fame at a
young age, but in the last few years they aren't so fond of it anymore.
As time goes they continue to move further from the spotlight; however they
make some public appearances from time to time.
The 30 year old twins have decided to give an interview for Net a Porter's The
Edit, in which they gave a sneak peek on their personal lives.
Mary-Kate told that she has a husband, two step kids and a life, "I have to go
home and cook dinner", she says.
Talking about their absence on social media, Mary-Kate and Ashley told that
they have never liked the idea of it.
"We don't dive into that whole world [of social media] and we don't have
Facebook, we've never been connected to our fans in that way. We've stayed
quite sheltered in that sense," Ashley told.

Another Kind Of Horse Brand Business Branding In Equine Marketing
It's winter time, the breed examination season has traveled every which way in North America, and alongside it marking the season.
Marking season for steeds – NOT for horse BUSINESSES.
In the event that you have any business or showcasing foundation, or have done any perusing regarding the matter, you have known about marking in the business setting. How about we investigate what that really is.
Brands on steeds and other domesticated animals in the Old West demonstrated proprietorship. There was some level of guaranteeing acknowledgment for owning a quality creature, yet principally the fact of the matter was to shield domesticated animals from being stolen. Marking served to lawfully recover stolen domesticated animals.
In Europe, marks on steeds were not a sign of individual possession, but instead showed the stallions' affiliations with one of the provincial registries.
That thought, which is behind advanced marking of stallions in European-subsidiary breeds and a portion of alternate breeds in North America is nearer to the idea of business marking. Truth be told, it IS business marking for the individual stallion breed.
So What is Branding Exactly?
It isn't a string of stop marked images or an arrangement of moose horns or other breed images. Those are compared to a business logo or trademark, however, those things aren't marks in the negotiating prudence, either.
A brand on a stallion implies everything the breed speaks to the quality, history, execution record, starting point, et cetera. A stallion that conveys a breed's image check apparently has the majority of the properties of the breed and is hypothetically fit for performing to the standard built up by that breed affiliation. For instance, when you see a stallion with a Holsteiner mark (accepting you have commonality with the stamp), you perceive the steed as a Holsteiner. You instantly know a smidgen about the steed's heredity, foundation, and the sorts of exercises it may be great at.
That is the reason a few registries require a physical investigation and endorsement of the individual steed before giving it a brand- – the marked steed is a delegate of the breed's personality, a mobile promotion. It bodes well for the breed association to need to control the nature of those promotions.
In like manner, a brand is the exemplification of all the data associated with an item or administration. A brand ordinarily incorporates a name, logo, and other visual components and includes the arrangement of desires related to an item or administration which typically emerge in the psyches of individuals. (reference: wikipedia.org)
Logos and such- – like brand marks- – are a shorthand image for the brand. Those imprints are aimless to the point that the brand is fabricated.
Assemble Your Brand from the Ground Up:
As Chevy Chase's character, Ty Webb, says in Caddyshack, "Be the ball." Live the brand. Marking is all that you and your business speak to. You set up a brand through the nature of your steeds, your aggressive record, the standard of administration you give to your customers, the way of your business dealings, put stock in, your notoriety. A brand is a business' personality. Consistency in these components fabricates a brand.
Incomprehensibly, I am going back and forth about whether to mark steeds or not. Perhaps simply the identity hugger as a part of my identity turning out, however, I think marking harms the creature.
For your steed business, unquestionably, marking shouldn't do any harm. It may take a little mental extending to get a handle on the idea, however, the real foundation and working of your image require not be difficult.
In any case, one thing is sure: There is no conclusion to the marking season for organizations!

As Solotel prepares for major initiatives in the latter half of the year, PubTIC speaks with high-profile agency man Dan Lacaze, who has been engaged as Solotel's first Group Marketing Director.
Bruce Solomon and Matt Moran's Solotel has come to boast 30 brands in hospitality, incorporating some of Australia's best-known hotels and restaurants. Before the end of the year the group will launch its 3-storey free-standing bar restaurant in Barangaroo, and two-storey pub-café in a heritage-listed house in Brisbane.
Joining the group from creative agency BMF, which embraces the virtues of 'long ideas' that are "baked into the brand to create experiences, not simply stories", Lacaze was client services director for icons such as ALDI, Sportsbet, A-League and Dulux.
He says he's excited by the opportunity to join the successful and growing operation, to be responsible for building digital, customer and marketing capability, and was struck by Bruce and Matt's passion and entrepreneurialism.
Speaking with PubTIC, Lacaze gave his assessment of the operation's virtues, and where he can provide valuable input.
"I think the real strength of Solotel is the diversity of our people. Matt and Bruce really encourage individuality and our venue teams are empowered to own and shape their brand experience. That way the venue is authentic and tailored for the locals.
"Where we are doing some really interesting work is defining who we are as a group for our 1700+ staff. This includes our brand purpose and our three key values, which are a really important tool to articulate how strong our culture lives within the group, and how connected the teams are behind the scenes. It will also help us tell our story to our partners and suppliers in a much richer way."
As well as the new venues, the group is also gearing up to launch its expanded 'events by ARIA' business, to be known as Together with Solotel, employing specialist event creatives, designers and producers.
Lacaze says the portfolio has been segmented into 'channels', such as Creative Culture, incorporating venues such as The Bank, The Marlborough Hotel, GOROS and The Darlo Bar, and Signature Dining, featuring the more intimate Aria and Chiswick.
Each channel will enjoy its own mix of marketing strategies, publicity and social media, but Lacaze believes that old-fashioned hospitality is still king.
"Our most important channel to engage our guests is our venues. The experiences they have with our staff are really critical, and where we see the most success is when we have strong, cohesive teams having fun at work with the locals.
"There is a real authenticity to that."
Solotel COO Justine Baker echoes Lacaze on the group's asset of diversity, and believes he will add a unique creative flavour to the mix.
"We made a decision to upskill our team, and re-focus on our customers. We're really looking forward to Dan joining the family at such an exciting time."

In all its sheer, bedazzled glory
Whatever your fashion knowledge, you won't have been able to avoid noticing the fabled 'naked dress.'
Typified by sheer, figure hugging panelling, with only the hint of embroidery or bedazzling to preserve modesty, it's a fairly striking piece of garmentry.
Beyonce's 2015 Met Gala gown is arguably the most striking of recent 'Naked Dress' outings, mainly for it being draped over her particularly killer body and her S-bend posing on the red carpet stairs.
But in case you thought this was just a 2015/2016 phenomenon, here is the complete history of The Naked Dress, from Marilyn Monroe through to Cher.

Why can a forest fire be prevented?
Forest fire must have three basic colors: Combustible materials (including trees, grass and shrubs and other plants) are the basis material for occurring forest fires; fire weather is an important factor for forest fire; fire source is the leading factor in forest fires, the three factors are indispensable. A large number of facts show that forest fires can be prevented. Combustible materials and sources of ignition can be artificially controlled, and fire weather can also be predicted and prevented.

People often discuss various human, civil, and migrant rights issues around the world due to they get some reminders in the form news reports, images, and more. For instance, Alan Kurdi who drowned in the Mediterranean Sea in 2015 was a big pain for compassionate minds.
Around the world, people see such news and sympathize towards refugees. It should be noted many of those migrant issues are created by some groups of people ranging from business to political groups. The migrant rights issues have more significance as it also causes civil and human rights issues.
Why are migrant rights issues happening? It should be noted that the refugees or migrants are forced to leave their home and locality due to they face some danger to their lives. The people migrate to escape from horrific violence, extreme poverty, discrimination, or persecution. Though it is visible across the world, Central America, Syria, and Africa experience the most widespread movement. Read more: Michael Larcey | Crunchbase
The refugees face discrimination, hostility, and exploitation in the host country depending on the political and social conditions of the destination. Considering the fact that a significant proportion of the migrants are children and women, the sufferings reach a higher level. The groups which are working to exploit those souls, adding fuel to the fire.
To alleviate the struggles of the migrants, various groups and non-profit organizations are working tirelessly with legal assistance and support for life. They provide food, shelter, legal support, assistance against exploitation, funds, and more. While some of these groups are locally set up to address issues in a particular region, others are large organizations with a network around the world and organized strategies to handle human and migrant rights issues. Learn more about Jim Larkin and Michael Lacey: http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/blogs/az-aclu-honors-new-times-founders-jim-larkin-and-mike-lacey-as-civil-libertarians-of-the-year-6500737
Some of those organizations are Migrant Rights.org, United Nations Human Rights, Migrants' Rights Network, World Wide Movement for Human Rights, Migrants Rights International, and more. All of these organizations campaign through media, raise funds to assist migrants, sign petitions, expose various exploitations, and more.
Lacey & Larkin Frontera Fund is another significant initiative set up by Jim Larkin and Michael Lacey using the settlement amount they received for their alleged arrest by Maricopa County Sheriff. Both Lacey and Larkin are senior journalists and co-founders of Village Voice Media and Phoenix New Times.
Jim Larkin and Michael Lacey received a settlement amount worth $3.75 million after challenging their alleged arrest by Sheriff Joe Arpaio on October 18, 2007. They were arrested by the Sherriff at midnight from their homes for reporting a grand jury procedure of demanding reporters' notes that featured Sherriff.
Alarmingly, the jury was even asking the identity of the people who read those news articles. Lacey and Larkin and challenged the jury in United States Court of Appeals and acquitted of the charges with the settlement amount.
Considering their long years of fights for human, civil, and migrant rights issues, both the journalists decided to dedicate the amount to the violation issues. The fund supports the groups that promote human, civil, and migrant rights along with civic participation and freedom of speech throughout Arizona.

A case pending before the United States Supreme Court could have a significant impact on defendants in child abuse cases.
While people in general have a moral obligation to report suspected child abuse, certain professionals, including doctors and teachers, are required by law to report suspected abuse. This puts them in a unique situation, serving as both civilians and as law enforcement agents, according to a state court ruling in Ohio v. Clark. Because of this, a child's statements to a teacher may be considered testimony, and therefore subject to the Confrontation Clause of the United States Constitution. While the Ohio Court ruled that a child's statements to a teacher are testimonial, other state courts have ruled opposite. These courts find that teachers and day care workers are not acting as law enforcement in questioning children about suspected abuse, and therefore, the child's statements are neither testimonial nor subject to the Confrontation Clause.
Now, with state courts at odds on this issue, the case is headed to the Supreme Court, with the petition to be considered at the Court's "long conference" at the end of this month.
To understand the petition before the Supreme Court, let's look at the details of the case.
Darius Clark was arrested and charged with five counts of felonious assault, two counts of endangering children, and two counts of domestic violence involving his girlfriend's 3-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. Clark first came under suspicion when a day care teacher noticed an injury to the 3-year-old's eye and asked him what happened. The boy replied, "I fell," but seemed withdrawn, and the teacher was not satisfied with his answer. Upon returning to a brighter classroom, the teacher noticed additional injuries and pointed them out to the class's lead teacher. That teacher asked, "Whoa, what happened? Who did this?" At that point, the preschooler implicated Clark.
Although Clark was able to leave the day care with the child, a social worker found him the next day at his mother's house. The social worker confirmed the injuries to the 3-year-old child and identified significant injuries to the boy's younger sister. The girl was transported to the hospital where a doctor ruled her injuries consistent with child abuse.
Prior to Clark's trial, the 3-year-old was ruled incompetent to testify, yet his testimony to the teacher was admitted as evidence. Clark argued that the child's statement was improperly admitted because it was testimonial in nature, but the defense was deprived the right to cross-examine, thereby violating the defendant's Constitutional rights under the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment.
The majority opinion of the Supreme Court of Ohio agreed, issuing the following two findings in the Syllabus of the Court:
1. At a minimum, when questioning a child about suspected abuse in furtherance of a duty pursuant to R.C. 2151.421, a teacher acts in a dual capacity as both an instructor and as an agent of the state for law-enforcement purposes.
2. Statements elicited from a child by a teacher in the absence of an ongoing emergency and for the primary purpose of gathering information of past criminal conduct and identifying the alleged perpetrator of suspected child abuse are testimonial in nature in accordance with Davis v. Washington, 547 U.S. 813, 822, 126 S.Ct. 2266, 165 L.Ed.2d 224 (2006), and State v.Siler, 116 Ohio St.3d 39, 2007-Ohio-5637, 876 N.E.2d 534.
Not every justice on Ohio's Supreme Court agreed, and the ruling hinged on a 4-3 decision. In the minority position, Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor dissented. She argued that no reasonable person would assume that a teacher's questioning of a child about possible abuse "served a prosecutorial purpose rather than a protective one."
She continued, "The majority decision creates confusion in our case law, eviscerates Evid.R. 807, and threatens the safety of our children. Not surprisingly, it is also wrong as a matter of federal constitutional law."
Now, at the end of the month, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether the Ohio court's ruling is, in fact, a violation of federal constitutional law, or whether the court was right in determining that teachers and day care workers serve a dual role as both educators and law enforcement officers in investigating child abuse.
As a criminal defense attorney in Oklahoma, I'm interested in the outcome of this case. Our state in 2012 reported a child victim rate of 10.3 of every 1,000 children, which placed Oklahoma 20th in state child abuse rankings. Whether the statement of a child who does not testify is considered hearsay or testimony subject to cross-examination could have a significant impact on how these child abuse cases are handled at trial.

A field test using agents for coordination of residential micro-chp
By Warmer, C.J.; Hommelberg, M.P.F.; Roossien, B.; Kok, J.K and Turkstra, J.W., for the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN), February 2008In the Netherlands decentralised generation of heat and power by µ-CHP units in households is expected to penetrate the market at high speed in the coming years. Using ICT these µ-CHP units can be integrated into a Smart Power System or Virtual Power Plant. Other local production and consumption of electricity such as PV, wind, heat pumps and electrical vehicles can be added to this cluster.
The main goal of a Smart Power System is to optimize the value of decentralised power production and consumption in view of the total energy value chain. The PowerMatcher is a multi-agent based control concept (and software package) for coordination of demand and supply in electricity networks with a high share of distributed generation. The concept is demonstrated in several real life field tests. One of these field tests is a virtual power plant consisting of 10 µ-CHP units reducing the local peak demand of the common low-voltage grid segment the µ-CHP units are connected to. In this way the VPP supports the local distribution network operator (DNO) to defer reinforcements in the grid infrastructure (transformers and cables). To realize this VPP, an ICT-communication network containing a hardware and software infrastructure has been added to a test rollout of µ-CHP installations in The Netherlands. Main conclusion from the field test is that a peak reduction of 30 - 50% can be achieved, depending on summer or winter season.

I once read somewhere that a programmer is machine that transforms coffee in code… and eventually I fought in the company where I'm working to do just that… – I need focus on finishing that damn graduation… – I though
result => waste a lot more time codding because I'm totally out of the design.. so I have to work twice as hard to understand it… and deal with the fact that often I disagree with it, in a : as much passive way as possible… which is not much good for my stomach. It's the trouble of being a girl I guess.. I get emotionally attached to the projects. Like if each one of them was a child I wanted to see grow healthily..
Really.. I hate this pressure of "start coding" "start coding". Years of documentation on the importance of design… From my current knowledge… mostly read, preached and applied in universities. Occasionally used in companies with university related people… And pretended to be true else where.
Lesson learned: the more levels you have between the people that are implementing the request, and the person requesting.. the further away from it is the result. Do you know that game… tell a tale, to someone that tells the tale.. that tells the tale… make it circle around a table..
So far the best method, which I have only been able to apply for small free lance projects I did on the side. Seems to be a sort of "Iterative" development.
1º Request Requisites
2º Reply Interpretation of requisites with sketch design, as little implementation details as possible
3º Confirmation from client, with notes. Usually there are always corners that are bent.
4º Implementation of requisites
5º Submit to client evaluation. (you can call this the alfa )
6º Client inputs back changes Repeat steps 4,5,6 until everyone is happy
It is more important to understand the problem, than to figure out ways of solving it. 'Cause most of the time, you end up solving the wrong problem. To try to know everything from the beginning is just.. plain stupid. But you need to be very careful not to do the opposite. Which is why I like that feedback method. It's not a conversation. It is an independent swap of readings of the problem. No one is in the way of anyones reasoning. So the odds of escaping comprehension are smaller.
I guess there's a reason why big company's use SRS's…
2.4 General Constraints
well it was done, generally…
