How much does it cost to install a wood fence?
Help define your property line, protect your home and yard, and boost your curb appeal with a new wood fence. The national average for wood fence installation cost is $3,250. Wood fence installation costs will vary based on your geographic location, the type of wood you select, the height and style of wood fence you desire, and the condition of your property. Pressure-treated pine is a common and attractive choice that is usually resilient against rot and bugs. Cedar is another budget-friendly option that, although more expensive than pressure-treated pine, can be more affordable than redwood or teak. A wood fence requires maintenance to ensure its long-term health and beauty, so keep future staining and painting costs in mind when you're calculating fence installation costs. Here are some examples of how height and material affect the approximate cost of wood fences:
- 6-foot-high, pressure-treated pine fence: $15-$17 per linear foot.
- 4-foot-high, pressure-treated pine fence: $13-$20 per linear foot.
- Cedar fence: $18-$25 per linear foot.
- 6-foot-high, double-sided (meaning both sides are uniform), pressure-treated pine fence with 6x6 posts: $25 per linear foot.
- 12-foot-high, pressure-treated pine fence with custom detailing: $75 per linear foot.
- 6-foot-high, pressure-treated pine fence with a custom lattice top: $30-$50 per linear foot.
How much does it cost to put up a chain-link fence?
Chain-link fence is one of the most affordable options for adding safety and value to your home or business. The national average chain-link fence installation cost is $2,750. Chain-link fences are relatively simple for the pros to install; a fence of less than 150 linear feet can often be put up in under one day. A good rule of thumb is to add an additional workday for each additional 100 linear feet of fence to be installed.
Chain-link fence installation costs are affected by the fluctuating cost of steel, regional labor rates, the height of fence you select, and the features you select, such as a powder-coated finish. The industry standard is galvanized steel, which is rust- and corrosion-resistant. Galvanized chain-link fence installation cost, including labor and materials, is typically $12 per linear foot. For a more contemporary and elegant option, black powder-coated galvanized chain-link fence might cost approximately $15 per linear foot on average, including materials and labor. For industrial sites or businesses, 10-foot-high galvanized chain-link fences may provide additional security, but also have an added cost. A 10-foot-high chain-link fence could cost $17-$18 per linear foot, including labor and materials.
How much is a redwood fence per foot?
A redwood fence is a long-lasting home investment that can add beauty and major curb appeal to your home. Redwood fence installation costs are higher than those for pressure-treated pine or cedar, due to the relative scarcity of the wood. Pricing can vary for redwood fence installation costs based on regional labor rates, current prices of redwood planks, the height and linear feet of the fence, and any custom designs or features. Redwood fences, in addition to being beautiful, are naturally more resistant against bugs and rot than less hardy or dense woods. Redwood fences also generally fare well in wet or humid climates due to their natural oils — which also make them easier to maintain. Materials costs per linear foot for redwood planks can range anywhere from $6 to $20 or more, depending on grade, quality and height.
How much does it cost to install a vinyl fence?
A new fence can mean added home value, increased curb appeal, and improved home security. The national average vinyl fence installation cost is $4,600. Vinyl fences have a number of appealing qualities such as their durability, their lasting good looks (they don't weather like wood does), their versatility, and the fact that they require little to no maintenance such as staining. Fencing companies typically charge per linear foot for vinyl fence installation. They calculate their estimates based on materials to be used, height of fence, linear feet of the proposed fence, and the accessibility of the terrain. If the workers need to level the land before work begins, your vinyl fence installation costs will probably increase. Vinyl fences are typically more expensive than wood or chain-link. For example, one company might charge $19-$22 per linear foot for a basic 6-foot vinyl privacy fence. Another company might charge $25-$35 per linear foot for standard vinyl fencing, while decorative fencing with custom detail could increase that cost to $50 per linear foot. For a 6-foot-high white vinyl privacy fence with two walk-through gates (plus demolition and disposal of the old fence), the cost of the total project could run $8,000. A 4-foot-high, 36-linear-foot white picket vinyl fence with one gate could cost $2,600.
How much does it cost to install a fence gate?
Adding a gate to your fence can be a practical way to provide access to a yard, work area or outdoor living space while ensuring safety and privacy. Gate installation costs will vary based on the gate material you select, the size of your gate, whether you install a fence at the same time, and any special features you'd like to add. Standard opening size for a single-wide gate is 4 feet; a double-wide gate is 8 feet. A small gate may be for decoration; a double-wide gate can be mounted on a rolling caster system to allow access for cars or wide loads. Here are some examples of average fence gate installation costs:
- 4-foot, single-swing chain-link gate: $100 for materials and installation costs.
- 28-foot wheeled chain-link gate on a caster system: $800-$1,000 for materials and installation costs.
- 4-foot, single-swing wood gate: $75.
- 8-foot double-wide wood gate: $150.
- 4-foot white vinyl walk-through gate: $300–$400 for materials and installation costs.
- 8-foot, double-wide white vinyl gate: about $800 for materials and installation costs.
- White vinyl gate fence more than 8 feet wide: $1,200-$1,500 for materials and installation.
- Arched black powder-coated aluminum pool gates: $175-$200 per gate.

One of the bestselling herbal products of the early 1990s was an extract of the bark of French maritime pine. This substance consists of a family of chemicals known scientifically as oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPCs) or procyanidolic oligomers (PCOs). Similar (but not identical) substances are also found in grape seed. The research record is complicated by the fact that certain identically named proprietary products have consisted at different times of various proportions of these related substances.
OPCs are marketed for a wide variety of uses. As yet, however, there is no solid evidence that they are effective for any medical condition.
OPCs aren't a single chemical, but a group of closely related compounds. Several food sources contain similar chemicals: red wine, cranberries, blueberries, bilberries, tea (green and black), black currant, onions, legumes, parsley, and the herb hawthorn . However, most OPC supplements are made from either grape seed or the bark of the maritime pine. These two OPC sources lead to products that are not necessarily identical in function, although there do seem to be many similarities. In the discussion of scientific studies below, we indicate the source of the OPCs used when it is possible to do so. In some cases, however, identifying the exact product is difficult, as both grape seed and pine bark OPCs, or their combination, have at various times been sold under the same name.
Therapeutic Dosages
For the treatment of specific medical conditions, studies have used doses of 150 to 300 mg daily. For use as a general antioxidant, 50 mg of OPCs daily are often recommended; however, there is no evidence that this dose provides any health benefits.
Therapeutic Uses
The best-documented use of OPCs is to treat chronic venous insufficiency , a condition closely related to varicose veins. In both of these conditions, blood pools in the legs, causing aching, pain, heaviness, swelling, fatigue, and unsightly visible veins. Fairly good preliminary evidence suggests that OPCs from pine bark or grape seed can relieve the leg pain and swelling of chronic venous insufficiency. 8-12,74 However, no studies have evaluated whether regular use of OPCs can make visible varicose veins disappear, or prevent new ones from developing.
Other small, double-blind trials suggest that OPCs may help reduce swelling caused by injuries or surgery . 13-15
Evidence from one small, double-blind trial suggests that OPCs from bilberry and grape seed may reduce the general fluid retention and swelling that can occur in premenstural syndrome (PMS) . 50
One large study found some evidence that use of OPCs from pine bark might help prevent the leg blood clots that can develop on a long airplane flight. 51
Some studies suggest OPCs from pine bark, alone or with arginine , may be helpful for erectile dysfunction (impotence). 52,53,66 For example, in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 124 men (aged 30-50) with moderate erectile dysfunction were randomized to take Prelox (a formulation of pine bark extract and arginine) or placebo for 6 months. The men who took Prelox experienced improvement in their condition over placebo. 66
In a double-bind, placebo-controlled study of 61 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) , use of OPCs from pine bark (at a dose of 1 g per kg per day) appeared to improve some measurements of disease severity. 62
Two small, double-blind pilot studies suggest that OPCs from pine bark might help reduce asthma symptoms. 42,54
OPCs are also often recommended for allergies , but an 8-week, double-blind trial of 49 individuals found no benefit with grape seed extract. 19 On a slightly more positive note, a preliminary trial involving 39 people with seasonal allergies found that those who took OPCs at least 5 weeks before the start of the season experienced more symptom relief compared to the control group. And those that took OPCs for a longer period of time (eg, 7-8 weeks before the season) seemed to have better results. 65
According to several studies, OPCs might improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes. 55 In addition, a small study found evidence to support the use of pine bark extract for improving the symptoms and healing time of foot ulcers, a common complication in people with diabetes. 75
Some evidence suggests that OPCs protect and strengthen collagen and elastin. 20-25 Theoretically, this could mean that OPCs are helpful for aging skin , and they are widely sold for this purpose, but there is as yet no direct evidence that the herbs work.
Hemorrhoids are varicose veins in and around the anus. Since OPCs are used to treat varicose veins, it is thought that this substance would also be helpful for people who have hemorrhoids . A randomized trial involving 84 people with hemorrhoids found that both the oral and topical forms of pycnogenol (pine bark extract) eased symptoms, including bleeding. 68
One study suggests that while OPCs alone may not reduce levels of cholesterol , some benefits may occur when taken in combination with chromium. 18
OPCs are strong antioxidants. Vitamin E defends against fat-soluble oxidants, and vitamin C neutralizes water-soluble ones, but OPCs are active against both types. 5-7 Based on the (unproven) belief that antioxidants offer many health benefits, regular use of OPCs has been proposed as a measure to prevent cancer , diabetic neuropathy and diabetic retinopathy , 48 and heart disease . 37-40
OPCs have been tried as a treatment for impaired night vision , 35,36,45lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus), 44easy bruising , 16,17high blood pressure , 43 and liver cirrhosis . 49 However, more research needs to be performed to discover whether it actually provides any benefits in these conditions.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of questionable validity reported that use of OPCs from pine bark produced benefits in all symptoms of menopause . 64
One study failed to find OPCs significantly helpful for weight loss . 56 Another failed to find OPCs helpful for reducing the side effects of radiation therapy for breast cancer. 61
A systematic review of 15 trials evaluated the possible effectiveness of OPCs from pine bark in treating chronic disorders. 76 While the pooled results did not show the benefits of OPCs, 3 trials hinted that the supplement may be useful in people with osteoarthritis .
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins?
Venous Insufficiency (Varicose Veins)
There is fairly good preliminary evidence for the use of OPCs to treat people with symptoms of venous insufficiency .
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 71 subjects found that grape seed OPCs, taken at a dose of 100 mg 3 times daily, significantly improved major symptoms, including heaviness, swelling, and leg discomfort. 27 Over a period of 1 month, 75% of the participants treated with OPCs improved substantially. This result doesn't seem quite so impressive when you note that significant improvement was also seen in 41% of the placebo group; nonetheless, OPCs still did significantly better than placebo.
A 2-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 40 people with chronic venous insufficiency found that 100 mg of pine bark OPCs 3 times daily significantly reduced edema, pain, and the sensation of leg heaviness. 28 A similar study of 20 individuals also found OPCs from pine bark effective. 29
A placebo-controlled study (blinding not stated) that enrolled 364 people with varicose veins found that treatment with grape seed OPCs produced statistically significant improvements as compared to baseline. 30 There was a lesser response in the placebo group, but whether this difference was statistically significant was not stated.
In another study, 98 people with chronic venous insufficiency and edema were randomized to receive pycnogenol (150 mg/day), pycnogenol (150 mg) plus elastic stockings, or elastic stockings alone. 74 After 8 weeks, the two groups that included pycenogenol had improvements in their symptoms compared with group using only elastic stockings, and the combination of pycnogenol and stockings was associated with the best results of all.
OPCs have also been compared against other natural treatments for venous insufficiency. A double-blind study of 50 people with varicose veins of the legs found that doses of 150 mg per day of grape seed OPCs were more effective in reducing symptoms and signs than the bioflavonoid diosmin . 31 Similarly, a double-blind study of 39 people found pine bark OPCs more effective than the herb horse chestnut . 46
Edema After Surgery or Injury
Breast cancer surgery often leads to swelling of the arm. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 63 post-operative breast cancer patients found that 600 mg of grape seed OPCs daily for 6 months reduced edema, pain, and peculiar sensations known as paresthesias. 32 Also, in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 32 people who had received facial surgery, edema disappeared much faster in the group treated with grape seed OPCs. 33
Another 10-day, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolling 50 participants found that grape seed OPCs improved the rate at which edema disappeared following sports injuries . 34
Blood Clots After Plane Flights
It is commonly thought, though not proven, that the immobility endured during a long plane flight can lead to the development of potentially dangerous blood clots in the legs known as DVTs . 57 Travelers at high risk are often recommended to take aspirin to "thin" their blood prior to flying.
One crossover study of 22 smokers found that 100 mg of OPCs had an equivalent blood thinning effect as 500 mg of aspirin. 58 On the basis of this, a large double-blind study was performed to evaluate whether OPCs from pine bark could help reduce risk of blood clots on long airplane flights. 59 The study followed 198 people thought to be at high risk for blood clots. Some participants were given 200 mg of OPCs 2 to 3 hours prior to the flight, 200 mg 6 hours later, and 100 mg the next day; while others received placebo at the same schedule. The average flight length was about 8 hours. The results indicated that use of OPCs significantly reduced risk of blood clots. There were five cases of DVTs or superficial thrombosis in the placebo group, as compared to none in the OPC group, a difference that was statistically significant.
Another substantial double-blind study (204 participants) found benefit with a product that contains OPCs combined with nattokinase. 63 Nattokinase, also known as natto, is an extract of fermented soy thought to have some blood clot dissolving properties.
Periodontal Disease
Inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and plaque formation lead to periodontal disease , one of the most common causes of tooth loss. A 14-day, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 40 people evaluated the potential benefits of a chewing gum product containing 5 mg of OPCs from pine bark. 47 Use of the OPC gum resulted in significant improvements in gum health and reductions in plaque formation; no similar benefits were seen in the placebo group.
Although there are no reliable human studies, animal evidence suggests that OPCs can slow or reverse atherosclerosis . 37-40 This suggests (but definitely does not prove) that OPCs might be helpful for preventing heart disease.
Safety Issues
OPCs have been extensively tested for safety and are generally considered to be essentially nontoxic. 41 Side effects are rare, but when they do occur they are limited to occasional allergic reactions and mild digestive distress.
However, one study unexpectedly found that a combination of OPCs and vitamin C might slightly increase blood pressure in people with high blood pressure . 60 Neither treatment alone had this effect. These results may have been a statistical fluke, but nonetheless people with hypertension should use the combination of vitamin C and OPCs only with caution. One study, though, found that pycnogenol (pine bark extract) may help improve kidney function in people with metabolic syndrome who take high blood pressure medicine. 67
Maximum safe dosages for young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established.
OPCs may have some anticoagulant properties when taken in high doses, and therefore should be used only under medical supervision by individuals on blood-thinner drugs, such as warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, clopidogrel (Plavix), ticlopidine (Ticlid), pentoxifylline (Trental), or aspirin.
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking:
- Warfarin (Coumadin) , heparin , clopidogrel (Plavix), ticlopidine (Ticlid), pentoxifylline (Trental) , or aspirin : High doses of OPCs might cause a risk of excessive bleeding.

Developing Affordable Smart Thermostats
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2008 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 04, 2008
The state of California has decided to resolve it's peak-power problem with the help of programmable, communicating thermostats (PCTs).
On the hottest days of the year, when air conditioners are working hardest, sometimes California cannot make, or buy, enough electricity to satisfy its tremendous appetite. On these special days, Californians must find ways to save electricity or risk losing power from brownouts or rolling blackouts. They must go around the house turning off lights, computers, air conditioners, and whatever else they can live without. People in a few locales around the world periodically face similar choices, but as world populations and economies grow, it is likely that these types of extreme measure will become more widespread.

Other Proposed Uses
Various species of wild yam grow throughout North and Central America and Asia. Traditionally, this herb has been used as a treatment for indigestion, coughs, morning sickness, gallbladder pain, menstrual cramps, joint pain, and nerve pain. 1 The main use of wild yam in the United States today, however, is based on a fundamental misconception: that it contains women's hormones, such as progesterone and DHEA .
In reality, there is no progesterone, DHEA, or any other hormone in wild yam, nor does wild yam contain any substances that have progesterone-like or estrogen-like effects. 2
To explain this widespread misunderstanding, we have to go back a number of years. When progesterone was first discovered, it was very expensive to produce. The first methods involved direct extraction of progesterone from cow ovaries, a process that required 50,000 cows to yield 20 mg of purified hormone! 3 Other hormones like estrogen and DHEA were also difficult to manufacture. Although doctors wanted to experiment with prescribing these treatments as medicine until a simpler production method could be developed, it simply was not feasible.
The race to discover a more economical source of hormones was won by a scientist/businessman named Russell Marker. In the 1940s, he perfected a method of synthesizing progesterone from a constituent of wild yam called diosgenin. This process involves several chemical transformations carried out in the laboratory.
Marker focused his attention on two species of yam found in Mexico, Dioscorea macrostachya and Dioscorea barabasco , the latter of which is richer in diosgenin, while the former is much easier to harvest in the wild. He formed a manufacturing company in Mexico that produced progesterone and DHEA from these raw materials.
Unfortunately, corporate competition and difficult labor conditions eventually forced him to close his plant. But Marker's method of synthesizing progesterone continued to be used, bringing the price down drastically and helping to pave the way for the modern birth control pill. Progesterone continued to be manufactured from wild yam for decades, until a cheaper source of raw material was found in cultivated soybeans.
But neither soybeans nor wild yam contain progesterone. They only contain chemicals that chemists can use as a starting point to manufacture progesterone. However, just because chemists can make progesterone out of diosgenin does not mean that the body can do the same. Actually, it is very unlikely because the steps used by chemists to carry out this conversion do not even remotely resemble natural processes. Thus, any product that claims to contain "natural progesterone from wild yam" is misleading.
Studies involving cells in a test tube have found that wild yam does not act like estrogen or progesterone. 2 Furthermore, in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 23 women with symptoms of menopause , use of wild yam did not reduce hot flashes nor raise levels of progesterone or estrogen in the body. 4 On the other hand, a study involving 50 menopausal women found that the yam species Diascorea alata (12 mg sachet twice daily for 12 months) was more effective at relieving menopausal symptoms than placebo. 5 The researchers did not explain how this type of yam could produce such an effect.
An interesting point is that some wild yam products do contain progesterone. Are we contradicting ourselves? Not at all. Manufacturers add synthetic progesterone to these creams. There may be a value to taking progesterone in cream form, but the wild yam part of the product seems to be misleading.

The fact that women want and need more financial help and education is old news. What's new is the startling increase in the number of women seeking such advice.
According to the 2013 Women, Money & Power Study from Allianz Life, more than 6 in 10 women (62%) said they had an interest in learning about financial planning, retirement planning and investing. This is nearly double the amount (35%) who indicated interest in these topics during the original study conducted in 2006.
However, the study adds that despite innovations within the financial services industry, 70% of all women said they believed financial information was hard to understand, up significantly from the 44% who felt that way during the initial study.
The 2013 study, conducted with more than 2,000 women ages 25 to 75 with a minimum household income of $30,000 a year, also found that 68% of women felt financial planning materials were dull and boring. Additionally, 54% said financial material "seems like it's in a foreign language," and a full 40% said that none of the information was "applicable or useful."
Surprisingly, despite indications that women want to learn and want help translating financial material, 69% of women do not see their financial professional as a "go-to" source for information about how to save, spend and invest.
In fact, only 38% of women noted they had a financial professional. Of those who had a financial professional, more than a third (38%) said their financial professional was "not very responsive" or "doesn't seem all that interested in my personal situation" (40%).
"It's definitely concerning that the financial services industry doesn't seem to have learned much in the last seven years about customizing solutions to female clients," Allianz Life vice president of consumer insights Katie Libbe said in a statement. "Women are in more financial control than ever before, and regardless of their high level of interest in learning about financial topics, the information and planning resources made available aren't doing enough to change negative perceptions about the industry."
Retirement Planning: Who to Trust?
According to the results, women feel more empowered about financial planning and are more responsible for financial decisions than ever before. More than 90% of women said they felt that they need to be significantly more involved in financial planning than in the past. They also report that they are equally responsible for major investment decisions and retirement planning in their household (57%).
Although negative perceptions about the financial services industry remain strong, many women do see the value in having a financial professional to help guide them. In the study:
- 77% of women who reported they have a financial professional said they were more confident and prepared for their financial future,
- 75% of respondents recommend having a financial professional to other women,
- 75% of women feel they earn better returns on their money with a financial professional, and
- 72% of women felt more self-sufficient having a financial professional.
"It's clear that working with a trusted financial professional who understands women's unique perspective on financial topics is something many women are seeking," Libbe added. "Allianz Life is committed to helping financial professionals gain a better understanding of what women want in financial planning and be more responsive in creating customizable solutions."
Women also noted the importance of feeling engaged and having the ability to learn in a non-intimidating environment with other women. Yet, despite a desire to connect, the Internet was cited as the most popular source for financial information (54%), with financial professionals coming in at 39%.
Most Wanted: Retirement Lifestyle
The top financial topic that women said they most want to learn about—attaining a retirement lifestyle—is not likely the top focus for many financial professionals. Women are asking for clear and simple-to-understand financial information that is available on the Internet.
The vast majority of women surveyed noted they were more concerned about attaining a retirement lifestyle than gaining specific investment guidance. Eighty-five percent of participants want to learn how to achieve their desired lifestyle in retirement, while an equal number want guidance on how they could guarantee income for life. Seventy-five percent want to know how to invest and plan for retirement with a modest income, and 67% are interested in the basics of "buying smart" (where to save, managing a budget, etc.) Getting guidance about the stock market was the least interesting to women, with only 58% finding the topic appealing.
In addition to highlighting the most popular retirement topics among women, respondents also provided feedback about the perfect ways to learn about financial information. They asked for financial information to be clear, simple and easy to understand, with affordability and convenience ranking as the second and third most important characteristics.

Malta has developed into an international banking centre, and accounts for a significant share of global banking activity with more than 25 credit institutions having a presence on the island.
International and regional players have established operations in the country, offering a full set of banking services that range from retail and investment banking to trade finance and custody services, and prospects for future growth are high. Rated repeatedly as the 10th soundest banking system in the world by the World Economic Forum's Competitiveness Index 2014-2015, Malta's banking sector is thriving. The sector's continued robustness is based on conservative investment policies and a stable deposit base. The island's constantly expanding international finance sector offers plenty of growth opportunities in areas such as ship finance, investment banking, and custody services.
The information included in this publication is for information purposes only and is subject to change.
Malta has emerged as one of Europe's top domiciles for investment funds and asset management, hosting more than 580 investment funds.
Malta has long been an established jurisdiction for alternative funds, and its new fund regime has all bases covered, as managers are allowed to run funds under the island's PIF regime, outside the scope of the directive, or Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) under the AIFMD, as well as EU-compliant and globally recognised UCITS schemes. In 2016, Malta introduced the Notified AIF (NAIF) regime. The sector gained momentum due to increased asset management and fund servicing activity, with Malta's flexible and pro-business attitude helping to consolidate the island's claim for prominence as a fund jurisdiction. In fact, fund service providers recently voted the island as their favoured European fund domicile. As more offshore funds choose to move into regulated onshore jurisdictions, Malta is poised to win a significant share of the business seeking an EU location.
Malta has made significant strides to the international insurance market in attracting world-class companies to its shores. EU passporting rights and competitive operating costs are key attractions of locating in Malta. The country also championed the introduction of innovative structures such as Protected and Incorporated Cell Companies. Both structures allow firms to write risks through cells within a core company and provide businesses with a cost-effective alternative to setting up a stand-alone insurance company. The cell model is also applicable to insurance managers and brokers. Some 60 insurance companies are today registered in Malta, with the large majority being international players and only a handful of companies being active in the local market. International insurance business now accounts for more than 80 per cent of the total gross written premiums. With new legislation on reinsurance special purpose vehicles, Malta is positioning itself to tap new markets. The island has recognised the growing importance of insurance linked securities and catastrophe bonds, as well as the convergence of reinsurance and capital markets.
Offering a new breed of retirement products, Malta has become a key centre for pension transfers.
The island provides the ideal solution for high-net-worth individuals looking for an investment vehicle, international workers planning for retirement and global corporations seeking pension schemes for their staff. Malta is one of the jurisdictions that meet the requirements set out by the UK tax authorities for Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes (QROPS). A retirement scheme licensed in Malta is also eligible as a Qualifying Non-UK Pension Scheme (QNUPS), providing it satisfies the requirements specified in the UK Inheritance Tax Law. While Malta has seen the breakthrough in the international pension sector due to its attractiveness for QROPS and QNUPS, it is now aiming to come to similar agreements with other countries and the island sees an opportunity to cater for the pension needs of companies and individuals from EU markets.
Malta's strengths as a wealth management centre lie in its holistic offering that caters for a wide spectrum of needs, including succession planning, investment advisory, corporate structuring, investment banking and even lifestyle administration.
The Malta trust, combining all the features of the Anglo-Saxon trust concept within a civil law framework, has quickly become the preferred vehicle for professionals and high-net-worth individuals seeking an effective and trustworthy solution to wealth management issues. Trusts have been set up in Malta to safeguard everything from heirlooms to stocks, bonds, art and real estate. Recently, the island modernised its trust law to bring it in line with international trends and rival trust jurisdictions, ensuring that Malta remains one of the 'go-to' names for those in search of wealth management solutions. Private bankers and asset managers cater to all levels of wealth from the mass affluent to the ultra-high-net-worth individual. A wide range of investment vehicles is available – from simple trusts and company structures for families, to high value and more complex set-ups involving trusts, companies, investment funds and foundations for affluent clients.
Malta offers a highly efficient fiscal regime which avoids double taxation on taxed company profits distributed as dividends.
Companies are taxed at a rate of 35 per cent. However, a full imputation system applies to the taxation of dividends, whereby the tax paid by the company is imputed as a credit to the shareholder receiving the dividend. Following the distribution of a dividend, shareholders are also entitled to claim a tax refund of six-sevenths of the relevant tax paid in respect of trading income and five-sevenths of the relevant tax paid in the case of passive interest and royalties. The refund is reduced to two-thirds where the distributing company claims double-taxation relief. Malta's tax system has been deemed by the European Commission to be compliant with EU non-discrimination principles and has also gained approval from the OECD.
Malta is increasingly being perceived as a gateway for Islamic finance.
The island believes that its finance linkages and close association with traditional markets for Shariah-compliant finance could be a catalyst for Malta to emerge as a new Islamic financial services hub. Located strategically at the centre of the Mediterranean, Malta offers access to 230 million Muslims in Europe and North Africa, providing a massive client base for Islamic finance practitioners.
Malta's strategy of winning a share of the Islamic finance pie centres on investment funds, banking and the capital markets. The growth of Islamic finance globally also means there is an increasing demand for new Shariah-compliant business activities. In this climate, Malta is seeking to develop a framework for Islamic banking in Malta while the island's government is also studying the possibility of following in the footsteps of London and Dubai by issuing a Sukuk, an Islamic finance bond.
With a market capitalisation of €10.3 billion and a turnover of €940 million in 2014, the Malta Stock Exchange is presenting itself as an ideal place to accommodate specialist services, providing small and medium cap companies (SMEs) a step towards eventual listing on the main European exchanges. The island's strategic position in the Mediterranean also lends itself to Malta becoming a gateway to European investors by using the EU Prospectus Directive to tap into the wider EU capital market. Despite being equipped with and connected to the latest technology, what differentiates the Malta Stock Exchange is its very high standard of personal service. In Malta it is possible to go through the preparation for an initial public offering (IPO) with a lot more support than on a larger exchange. In addition to this, costs and fees remain competitive while those making primary and secondary applications can expect a swift, well-organised process. Local as well as foreign companies can also benefit from ancillary services that range from admission and trading to depository and custodial services.

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
The nopal, or prickly-pear cactus, is one of the major national symbols of Mexico and appears on the Mexican flag.
This cactus has a long history of use as food and medicine. Its fleshy, leaf-like stems (cladodes), especially when young, are eaten as vegetables. The fruit is eaten raw, fermented into a beer, or turned into a cheese-like food. Medicinally, nopal fruit, stems, and flowers have been used to treat diabetes, stomach problems, fatigue, shortness of breath, easy bruising, prostate enlargement, and liver disease. Nopal is also a significant source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
What Is Nopal Used for Today?
Although the results of animal studies and highly preliminary trials in humans are somewhat contradictory, taken together they suggest that nopal fruit and stems might have some benefit for diabetes . 1-9 However, only properly designed and sufficiently large double-blind, placebo-controlled trials can tell us for sure whether nopal is effective, and none have been reported for this use of nopal. (For information on why such studies are essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? )
The only properly designed study of nopal involved use of the cactus for treating hangover symptoms . In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 64 people, use of an extract made from the skin of nopal fruit significantly reduced hangover symptoms as compared to placebo. 21 The greatest improvements were seen in symptoms of nausea, loss of appetite, and dry mouth. Overall, the rate of severe hangover symptoms was 50% lower in the treatment group as compared to the placebo group. The researchers involved in this study hypothesized that hangovers are caused by inflammation, and that the herb reduced inflammation.
There is weak evidence that nopal fruit, leaves, and/or stems might be helpful for improving cholesterol profile. 10-14,22 Other studies suggest that nopal stems and fruit might have anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and stomach-protective effects. 15 Finally, test tube studies suggest that the flower of the nopal cactus might be helpful for prostate enlargement ( BPH ). 16
Neither the optimum dosage nor the most active species of nopal cactus has been established. The one double-blind study noted above used a special extract made from the skin of the fruit of Opuntia ficus indica.
Safety Issues
As a widely eaten food, nopal is presumed safe. However, safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or individuals with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

The signs and symptoms of preterm labor include:
- Contractions that do not stop, regardless of how far apart they are
- Watery discharge from your vagina
- Light vaginal spotting or bleeding
- Pressure on your pelvis that feels as if your baby is pushing down
- Low, dull backache
- Menstrual-like cramps that come and go
- Abdominal cramps that may occur with diarrhea
Call your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms or any unusual sensations.

Before beginning treatment, your doctor may want to further evaluate your heart.
One test that may be recommended is an echocardiogram, in which sound waves are used to create an image of your heart as it pumps. The information from this and other tests will help you and you healthcare team decide on the treatment that is best for you.
For some patients with atrial fibrillation, restoring the heart's natural rhythm is the goal of treatment. For others, just controlling the heart rate is a safer and more effective goal. For most patients with atrial fibrillation, preventing blood clots that could lead to a stroke is extremely important.
To help achieve your goals, several treatment options may be recommended. One option may be to take medications, of which there are several types that may be prescribed.
Antiarrhythmic medications may be given to restore the heart's natural rhythm. These include flecainide, sotalol, and amiodarone.
Rate control medications help slow down the heart rate. Some examples of these medications include beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and digoxin.
Anticoagulants are often prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke. The two most often prescribed anticoagulants are warfarin, sometimes called Coumadin®, and aspirin.
Another treatment option is electrical cardioversion. This is a procedure that can restore the heart's natural rhythm.
Before having this procedure you'll be given a sedative to put you to sleep. An electrical shock is then delivered through the electrode pads, or paddles. This single shock wipes out the disorganized electrical activity in your heart, restoring the natural rhythm.
Following electrical cardioversion, you may have a little chest discomfort or some redness on the chest temporarily; but overall, the procedure is very fast and safe. Most patients are allowed to go home a few hours after the procedure is completed.
For some patients, a catheter ablation may be recommended. This procedure is not considered major surgery and is usually performed in an electrophysiology or heart catheterization lab.
Before beginning, doctors will start an IV. It will provide you with medication to help you relax during the procedure. It may even put you to sleep.
An area usually near the upper leg will be numbed and a small incision will be made. Here, one or more catheters will be inserted into a vein, and guided into your heart.
To restore the heart's natural rhythm, the tissue conducting the abnormal impulses will be located. A catheter is placed against it, and radiofrequency energy is sent through the catheter, ablating or destroying the tissue and restoring the heart's natural rhythm.
In some cases, the best treatment may be to ablate the AV node. This does not cure atrial fibrillation, but it does slow down the heart's rate, which reduces symptoms. After this procedure you may recover in the hospital for a few hours, or even overnight.
A pacemaker helps speed up the heart when it beats too slowly. When the AV node is ablated, this device is implanted to help the heart maintain an effective rate. A pacemaker may also be recommended for some patients taking medications that slow down the heart rate.
Another option, the MAZE Procedure, is an open-heart surgical procedure that can also help restore the heart's natural rhythm. However, this procedure is usually only recommended for patients already undergoing open-heart surgery for another reason.
Don't get discouraged if one treatment option is unsuccessful. You may need to try several before getting your condition under control.

Erotic Massage Parlors - How To Get Her Wild With Desire
What kind of idea is it to give a girl an erotic massage? Does the idea of a romantic getaway during which she is in the arms of the man she loves making her wild with desire? Do you want to meet the woman of your dreams and take her on that unforgettable and special experience of her life?
When you go on a date, you want to know that the guy really loves you, but when you go on an erotic vacation, you want to find out that she really loves you. This can be the ticket to all of this in the bedroom.
Although there is no specific massage skill or massage profession necessary to give a better sexual experience for a woman, it is important that she is able to enjoy herself. That means she is comfortable. She is relaxed. This relaxes her mind and makes her much more open to ideas and thoughts.
Sexy Erotic Massage Parlors Rocky Valley PA 18036
It is the emotional part of a relationship that she needs to feel at her most alive. You don't want to step on this by rushing through a massage session. You want to spend time with her talking, and enjoying the ritual. After you've had your fun, try to leave her wanting more.
Do some research on a sex massage parlor. Start by reading up on the different massage techniques available. Find out which ones would be right for her. If you give her what she wants, you will be sure to be her favorite sex partner for life.
How is a girl going to get to know what you like and what you don't? A great place to start is through the online reviews about each one of them. The internet is a wonderful place to learn about different massage therapy services and where they are located. All of these resources will also show you a range of ratings and customer feedback on a variety of different massage parlors.
It is a good idea to take her out to one of these parlors and see what you are dealing with. She may need a special program, or a massage that will improve certain areas of her body that are not currently as well as others. Have her sign up for a free session, and see how she feels. Make sure that you give her time to prepare for the experience, and that you can be trusted to meet her goals.

Of course, it goes without saying that you have to be open minded to the idea of erotic massage. If you think it is a bad idea, do not try it. Especially, with a new girl. She may have a good idea for herself, and it could be a very exciting experience for both of you.
Many times, the idea of getting a good massage can help to lift a woman's spirits, and it does not always have to involve one of those large, faceless massages. Sometimes it can be the special things that a woman likes to receive. It could be as simple as a few minutes to relax her, or it could be as deep as a sixty minute session.
Once you have taken the girl out to one of these parlors, have fun. Let her be comfortable. If you both like the massage and think it worked out well, then allow her to enjoy the experience. The benefits of a good massage far outweigh the slight cost of giving one.
A sex massage parlor is the perfect way to bring two people together. Not only can it increase the sexual satisfaction in a relationship, but it can also make a woman's sex life easier and more enjoyable.

Real men wear bow ties!
Stylish bow tie for a true gentleman. Available in different styles to fit any budget.
Boys clip on bow ties are darling and easy to wear. A metal clip attaches to the collar and stays firmly in place all day.

The men's pre-tied adjustable strap bow tie looks just like the men's clip on, but instead of the metal clip, it has a 3/4 inch wide strap that goes around your neck and hooks securely and discretely under the bow.
The self tying bow tie is for the true bow tie connoisseur. It has a European bow tie ribbon with a T hook that easily adjusts to your neck size from 13.5" to 18.5". If you require a larger size, just leave me a note at checkout, and I can make it any size you need.

A blister is a fluid-filled bump on the skin.
Blisters have many different causes. These may include:
- Friction or constant pressure, which can occur with wearing a tight-fitting shoe or gripping a tool
- Second-degree burns
- Infections
- Contact dermatitis, such as poison ivy, oak, or sumac
- Insect bites
- Allergic reactions
- Reactions to certain medications or chemicals
- Certain cancers
- Blistering diseases, such as, epidermolysis bullosa, porphyria , or pemphigus
- Autoimmune disorders
- Scabies
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of blisters include:
- Wearing ill-fitting shoes
- Repetitive work with hand tools
- Getting a sunburn or frostbite
- Severe skin swelling, especially of the legs
Blisters may cause:
- Fluid-filled bump on the skin, which is often round
- Fluid is usually clear, but may be bloody, cloudy, or contain pus
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Blisters may be diagnosed on appearance. The cause can be determined by the activity you were doing when the blisters appeared.
A blister will often heal without treatment. You may need treatment for a condition that is causing the blisters.
Some general tips for treatment include:
Protect the Area
- Be gentle with the injured area. To prevent further injury, use a bandage made for blisters. Also, put a cushion around the blister to protect it. The blister should begin to shrink in about seven days.
- Do not pop or lance the blister. Opening the blister increases the chance of infection and delays healing.
- Do not scratch any blisters. If it is infectious, scratching may spread the infection. It also puts others at risk for getting the infection. Try over-the-counter medication that is applied to the skin to relieve any itching or discomfort. If you still have problems with the blisters, call your doctor.
Wash the Area
If the blister is closed, gently wash the area with soap and water. Apply a bandage to protect it.
If the blister is open, gently wash the area, apply an antibiotic ointment, and then cover it with a sterile dressing or bandage.
See Your Doctor If:
A blister usually heals by itself. See your doctor if:
- The blister is unusually large—bigger than a nickel
- There are many blisters
- The blister is in a sensitive area, such as on the face or the groin
- The blister is associated with a burn
- There are signs of infection, such as increasing redness around the blister, red streaks, severe swelling, pus drainage, fever, or an increase in pain
To help reduce your chance of a blister:
- Wear shoes that fit properly.
- Always wear socks with your shoes.
- Wear sports socks when exercising or participating in sports.
- Use gloves or protective padding when working with tools.
- Wear a hat, protective clothing, and sunscreen when out in the sun.
- Wear sandals in public showers to protect your feet from athlete's foot .
- Wear long shirts and pants when working outside to protect yourself from poison ivy.
- Avoid skin contact with irritating chemicals
