I drove my parents to an out of town shopping centre this afternoon. Which, according to my cutting spouse, makes a change from driving them to drink!
The primary reason for the venture being their desire to undertake a food shop at Sainsbury's supermarket.
Despite my pater being not being too chipper at the moment, he stubbornly refused to miss his weekly jaunt to the retail wonderland founded by John Sainsbury in 1869. A mystical place where you can buy anything in the world, apart from a life size Dalek.
The refusal to stock Dr Who's greatest nemesis, resultant from numerous customer complaints about constant cries of "Exterminate" in the bakery section by the confrontational wheel driven critters.
Watching my parents food shopping is a captivating experience. My dad's insistence on getting the most aesthetically pleasing of a particular product, with the latest 'use by' date is a thing of OCD magnificence. It's absorbing behaviour that doubles the duration of the shop and adds a further few grey hairs to my mum's ashen locks.
Today's spectacle of him deciding which fresh chicken to purchase was a joy to behold. He shuffled them around the chiller unit with the speed a Las Vegas blackjack dealer distributes cards. So much so that my mum was lead to cuttingly comment "You're going to make those chickens bleeding dizzy, Malcolm!"
Eventually, he chose a fine looking bird with the 'use by date' of 'When hell freezes over' which, with a pleased with himself look on his face, he gently placed in the trolley.
Mally's meticulous precision when storing groceries and greengroceries in a trolley, is akin to the strict routines of Dustin Hoffman's savant character in the movie 'Rain Man'. Forensically placed fruit and veg sit adjacent to diligently laid chiller items in designated quadrants of the trolley.
Woe betide anyone who carelessly places a tomato (or indeed any none bakery product) in the trolley area where the bread is stored. If anything perishable is inadvertently dropped in the unperishable goods area of the trolley, a look of scorn will be the minimum the perpetrator will be subject to by my old man.
Don't get me wrong, he is a lovely man who we dearly love and his quirkiness when let loose in Sainsbury's is harmless to anyone. It is, though, fascinating to behold from a people watching perspective.
In particular, the sight of my dad's procrastinating in the wine aisle is a feast for the eyes. Witnessing Mally spend 15-20 minutes hunting for the best value Merlot or Rioja is addictive. It's like espying a viral online video of a dog playing the piano or a cat delivering the Richard Dimbleby Lecture.
His indecisiveness has meant we have had to implement a 'five second rule'. This piece of Strachan retail legislation was introduced so that once pater had place a bottle of vino in the trolley, if it had resided in the trolley 5 seconds he wasn't allowed to swap it, even if he found a better wine at a cheaper price.
It might sound harsh but was borne from necessity. Otherwise Mally would have been ambling the wine aisles so long he would have been able to claim squatters rights in the store…… Although perhaps that's what he was aiming for!
God bless my dad, who's not well at the moment. A fantastic husband, dad and granddad, I hope he thoroughly enjoys his dizzy chicken for tea.
Incidentally, does anyone know where I can buy a life size Dalek?

A Tourism Board survey has found visitors' overall satisfaction rate grew to 8.2, on a scale of 10 points, last year from eight points in 2005. Visitors wishing to revisit Hong Kong grew to 90% from 85% in 2005, Secretary for Development Carrie Lam says.
She told the Legislative Council today the survey conducted last year showed Ocean Park, Hong Kong Disneyland and A Symphony of Lights were popular attractions.
Patronage of the Ngong Ping 360 exceeded 600,000 in the first four months this year, while the Wetland Park saw more than 500,000 visitors last year.
Mrs Lam said the board was successful in boosting family and consumption visits, with a 13% growth in Mainland family visitors from 2005 to 2007.
The Government will co-operate with the board and the trade to promote quality tourism, develop the city into a world-class cruise port and work with coastal Mainland cities in promoting cruise tourism.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union is considering applying 25 percent tariffs on around $3.5 billion of imports from the United States if President Donald Trump carries out his plan to apply global duties to steel and aluminum, EU sources say.
The European Commission has said it would respond"firmly" to proposed U.S. import duties of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum.
It has spelt out it would join others in a challenge at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and consider safeguard measures, last deployed in 2002, to guard against steel and aluminum being diverted to Europe from elsewhere if U.S. tariffs come in.
A further counter-measure under consideration would specifically target the United States to"rebalance" trade between the two, EU sources say.
The U.S. tariffs would be officially brought in on grounds of national security, but the European Union says U.S. military requirements represent no more than 3 percent of U.S. production and that the measures are really a form of protectionism for U.S. manufacturers.
EU exports of steel to the United States in 2017 were worth 5.3 billion euros ($6.53 billion) and of aluminum 1.1 billion euros.
For certain grades of steel, the United States cannot show there was any increase of imports last year, the EU sources say, meaning it would not be allowed to apply safeguard measures to them. For the EU, exports of those grades amounted to 2.8 billion euros ($3.5 billion).
Assuming U.S. tariffs fully covered EU steel, the European Union would put forward 25 percent tariffs on 2.8 billion euros worth of goods from the United States.
About a third would be steel grades, another third other industrial products and a final third agricultural products.
The list of products is set to be presented next week to EU countries, whose approval would be needed.
The"rebalancing" would have to take place within three months.

Drive Targeted Traffic to Your events using social media
Live-tweeting events is a great way not only to gain new followers, but also to get people to your other social media links and website that is advertising your event. To do this, one of the quickest vehicles is your Twitter profile which needs to resonate with event attendees who are also tracking the event hashtag.
For starters you should Rewrite your Twitter bio to align with the event. For example, if the event is about a hair and beauty event, mention this in your bio and include the event hashtag.
Create a landing page for the event with a free download that complements the event. For example, offer a top-ten list of ways small businesses can master attracting more customers to there hair and beauty business or if you're at a trade show, provide a code that attendees can use to collect a free prize at your exhibition stand. Put the link to the landing page in the website area of your Twitter, Instagram and facebook profile.
#Tweets that provides a link to the free download. Include the hashtag for the event and an eye-catching image so the tweet stands out to attendees.
On your website, create a Twitter wall of all tweets generated from the event. You can do this with tools like Tint, TweetWall Pro, Postano, Twitterfall, LiveTweetApp or Wall of Tweets. Embed the Twitter wall in a page on your site and include a sidebar with relevant information about what your event and how people can contact you, get a ticket, exhibit or advertise. Then tweet that link to other attendees.
- Keep tweets concise.
- Avoid splitting a thought into two tweets.
- Remember to use @[name] when starting a tweet with a name.
- Tweet your own content—photos, quotes and commentary.
- Link to books or films mentioned.
- Monitor other attendees who are tweeting. Retweet, favorite and reply to tweets and direct messages.
2: Showcase Your Services
There are a number of ways you can live-tweet about your services without spamming the event hashtag. I like to call this method the "sideways tweet."
3: Generate Product Buzz
Use live-tweeting to generate interest for a contest or make an important announcement during an event. But make sure you're not spamming the event hashtag.
In the tweet below, i3DCreatives announced the company was giving away a free 3D printer during an event and made sure to include the event hashtag.
Startups frequently benefit from live-tweeting at big technology events. You can build interest from people tweeting about your products and services throughout the event.
4: Capture the Attention of Journalists
Before the event, find out if any journalists or bloggers will be attending. Often, you can get a list of these people from the event organiser. Request this list a few days before the event.
Make sure you note their Twitter handles before the event and keep an eye on their tweets. Create a private Twitter list so you can track their tweets more easily. Be sure to retweet them when it's relevant
If you're launching a product or announcing important news at the event, let journalists know that you're available for follow-up questions during and after the event. Create a digital press kit with high-quality photos and your press release and provide a link to your announcement page.
5: Connect With Influencers
One way to create relationships with influencers is to live-tweet their speeches. Make sure you've noted the correct Twitter handle for the speaker and then start tweeting important nuggets from the presentation. This provides valuable information not only for people at the event, but also for interested people who weren't able to attend. Remember you can share to Twitter from I#nstagram, #snapchat, Google, #Pinterest #Facebook and LinkedIn
Your tweets also make speakers aware of you and your brand, and they may retweet them to their audience. This helps create a connection between you and the speakers.
You can even take it a step further and interview speakers to generate rich content for your followers and establish rapport with influencers. Forming meaningful connections with influencers can be a game-changing move for your event.
If you develop rapport with speakers for your event or exhibitors for your event, ask if you can interview them. In the video above.
To make a lasting impression, think about why you're connecting with an influencer and what interests that person. If you've interviewed him or her on camera or recorded the audio, share the end product after the event. This then gives that person the opportunity to share it with others.
6: Establish a Reputation as an Expert
Depending on the event, you may be able to get transcripts of presentations ahead of time, as they're sometimes included in press kits. If you maintain a blog that is relevant to the event, you may be able to get access to the press kit.
7: Create a e-press – influencer Press kit
The information in this kit can help you plan tweets that complement the presentation, such as relevant quotes, links to books, videos, movies or even images that you've branded with your company logo. Preparing tweets ahead of time helps you build your reputation with both attendees and non-attendees using the event hashtag. Try http://www.peopleperhour.com if your out of time and need laser support at affordable rate. Tip skroll down because the rates become more competitive.
8: Create Compelling branded Images
Because visually compelling images can go viral at events, creating branded visual content in advance can capture more attention for your brand. Also create blank-quote Twitter templates with your logo to capture important points from speakers.
Remember that graphics need to meet Twitter's frame guidelines, so you'll need more than one person to execute them quickly and effectively at an event. Try Canva you can download it to your phone.
You don't have to physically attend an event to make an impact. If you're unable to attend, you can still actively participate by reacting and responding to live-tweets from the event. Retweet, favorite tweets, ask relevant questions and create your own content, such as graphics of interesting quotes from the event.
If you're lucky, most events are live-streamed over the Internet in real time, so you can follow the presentations as if you were in the room. This is a great option if don't have the budget or time to travel to the event.
Live-tweeting is only one of the main vehicle for streamlining information about an events. So if you create, manage or go to events go prepared with a tweeting strategy, you'll likely increase your visibility with your target audience and also make valuable business connections.
What do you think? Have you live-tweeted any events? If so, how did that benefit your business? Please share your experiences live-tweeting in the comments below. I'd love to hear your tips, too!

Vuelta boss says the race will stay vertical moving forward
The Spanish grand tour has become unfriendly to sprinters because of the challenging profile
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
MADRID (VN) — Despite complaints from sprinters that the Vuelta a España is too mountainous, race director Javier Guillén said the Spanish tour will keep its focus on the vertical.
This year's Vuelta included 11 uphill finales, and even of stages that looked to have a sprint finale, nearly all of them had some sort of climb late in the stage to spice things up. Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Sharp) was one of many sprinters who were exasperated by the Vuelta profile, and came away empty.
Pure sprinters stayed away from the Vuelta this year in droves, but that doesn't bother Guillén.
"It's true, there are not a lot of opportunities for the sprinters," Guillén told VeloNews. "It's not to say we do not like those types of stages, but the Vuelta has its own style and personality. The fans like the type of race we are making, with mountains, with the explosive uphill finales."
The Vuelta has been pushing toward a more challenging, diverse route over the past several editions, and the results have been promising.
The Spanish grand tour once featured a string of long, flat, boring stages, sometimes held on four-lane highways, which went from one major city to another.
That started to change over the past three or four editions of the Vuelta, as the race moved onto the smaller back roads of "España profunda," or deep Spain, and added more climbs and punchy, explosive hilltop finishes.
Guillén said the TV ratings have inched up as a result, and the race plans to stick to its newfound formula.
"I am not going to lie to anyone, we like the mountaintop finales," Guillén continued. "We like the explosive hilltop finales, and we will continue to add them in the route, including new climbs which we are always searching for."
Overall, Guillén said he was satisfied with the 68th Vuelta that went down to the wire, with a nail-biting finale on the Anglirú to decide the winner.
"It was a very good Vuelta, with emotion from the first to the last day. Every stage was interesting. With the last stage going into the Anglirú, the gaps were small, just three seconds from first to second," he said. "We had good numbers for our ratings. We are satisfied. The stage to Anglirú had good audience. We built on the success of last year. It's important that the public gets excited about the Vuelta."
There was some chatter that Chris Horner's victory at nearly 42 years old was not ideal for the image of the Vuelta, that it would be more in the interest of the race to have a better-known or younger rider with promise to win the red jersey.
Guillén remained cautious in his comments about Horner.
"The road decides who wins. The analysis will come later," he said. "The only thing we want is that the best rider wins, that it's a good fight, and that we do not have any problems with the victories. Whoever wins deserves our congratulations."
Next year's Vuelta will start in Cadiz, in Spain's Andalusia region, with several cities and towns taking part in the opening weekend, including Jerez de la Frontera.
Details of the 2014 route will be released in January, but Guillén makes it clear that it will be more of the same for the Vuelta. That means it will be a climber's paradise, and purgatory for any sprinters who bother to show up.

Mastering Internal Dialogue Pt.1
We are our biggest critic… and we're also our greatest support system.
Internal Dialogue is something that we all have within ourselves everyday. It's the commentary we have on our life, our day to day activities and our experiences. The more we're aware of our thoughts, the more aware we are of how we're navigating our reality.
Internal dialogue can be broken down into 3 components when living a conscious lifestyle:
- Conversations with your ego– This aspect of internal dialogue usually is based from emotions of fear, anger, stress and selfishness. The ego itself is not bad, our ego contains our physical identity. Our name, race, social standing, heritage and other parts of who we are on Earth. Because our Earth identity is found in our ego, so is the results of our trauma. Who we've become and believe we are based off of how our subconscious and unconscious stored our traumatic experiences manifest in the ego and ultimately reality. It is possible to develop a healthy ego, but we have to learn how to work with a higher vibrating aspect our ourselves, our higher self.
- Battles with your Subconscious- Subconscious thoughts are going to be more like a whisper, a little feeling that can stir up confusion, guilt or fear. These thoughts are a lot like computer programming. Hard-wired responses that have been developed in our mind from previous experiences, mostly from childhood. This can create irrational assumptions like "This person will hurt you because they're being nice to you" then your ego (conjoined with your conscious mind which holds your logic and reasoning) tries to find something wrong with yourself or the person so that you can push them away. Or, it can also be something similar to "This situation is dangerous so it's fulfilling" that small feeling of thrill that comes from doing something self destructive because you saw an authority figure abuse substances, themselves or you. The subconscious and unconscious can be reprogrammed… the most difficult part of that task is discovering that is actually being stored in there.
- Conversations with your Higher Self– These conversations will initially be more difficult to hear, receive and engage in. To speak with your higher self, you must first successfully "tame" your ego and understand the contents of your subconscious. Your higher self is an aspect of you that is a higher vibrating aspect of your consciousness which is also vastly unrestricted by this physical dimension. Your Higher Self will help to guide you, see past the immediate gratification of your decisions and your reactions. Your Higher Self will let you know exactly what needs to be done in the moment. Your Higher Self gives you wisdom. Once you begin to talk with your Divine Nature which is your higher form of consciousness, your thoughts will become more constructive and less destructive to yourself and others. You don't need to be on a specific spiritual path to connect with your Higher Self. Your Higher Self is not a religion, it is a part of you.
How Do I Navigate This Dialogue?
Mastering the Ego
Your Ego is going to be a mirror of every bad memory, traumatic experience and horrible relationship you've experienced. Your unconscious stores this trauma and it stains the Ego on its way to its dormant holding place. The trauma has left a judgment on who you are and who you think you're supposed to be. This isn't all the Ego is comprised of but it does give the Ego false justification to run rampant. "I've been hurt so I can be selfish", "I'm a bad bitch that's why I cut people off with no notice", "Everybody is out for themselves so I don't need to be open", "I'm a special exception to the rules (morality) because I have a valid reason for doing it" "I'm not good enough so why should I even try". In reality, these statements provide a false perception that really fuels your weaknesses and keeps your trauma in place. These things are unreliable protective mechanisms created out of fear. The ego is all about survival, your ego is what anchors you in the 3rd dimension and its job is to keep you connected to the human condition. This is not bad, as you need to be able to function on Earth. It just needs to be balanced. When the Ego is scarred by trauma, survival mechanisms become imbalanced, cruel, power hungry, self destructive and self defeating. When you have thoughts fueled by selfishness, negativity, hate, self pity or anger… stop and ask yourself WHY you're allowing your thoughts to go in that direction. Mastering the ego takes a lot of self-discipline. You'll feel that your train of thought is valid in the moment, although you may regret it later. Resisting the urge to have decisions, reactions and trains of thought stem from pettiness, volatility and pity comes from developing your character. When we develop our character through having a healthy sense of pride, we won't allow ourselves to stoop below a certain bar because we expect and desire better for ourselves.
Building character to master the Ego exercise:
- Write a list of characteristics you want to embody as a human. In order to remain objective, this list should also line up with what you feel line up with the characteristics of people you want to have in your life. Ex: Kind, Fair, Disciplined, Balanced. Honest, Open.
- Next write the characteristics you want to embody as an adult (if you're 18+) or your appropriate age group i.e teen etc. Ex: Responsible, Reliable, Forthcoming etc
- Lastly, write the characteristics of what you want to embody as a man/woman (if applicable). Think about how you feel a man/woman should carry themselves in order to be attractive, respected etc. Ex: (woman) fierce, independent, open, loving mother, sexually empowered, selective etc, (man) emotionally open, high integrity, loyal, driven, provider, protector, faithful, selective etc.
Once you have your list written down, these are your standards for yourself. View this list as an internal moral code that you live by. These standards will help build your character and help to discipline your Ego. These standards will allow you to healthily shape your ego and develop a strong sense of self outside of your trauma. Whenever you make decisions, refer to your internal code.
Even when it feels difficult, stick to your code no matter how other people behave. If others act in ways that don't align with how you want to govern yourself and your character, that has nothing to do with the standards you set and keep for yourself. Over time, denying unhealthy impulses to behave in ways that do not align with your internal code will put you in control of your Ego and your trauma will no longer fully dictate your current behavior. This will help you feel in more control over your life and will help you build self esteem.

Understanding the Subconscious
Your subconscious mind is the bridge between your conscious and unconscious. Your subconscious mind is not readily accessible and your emotions are created here. Your subconscious mind is going to be where the unconscious mind contents are filtered and deduced into learned behavior, belief systems, and interpretations of the world.You'll also hold most of your memory here including everyday information thats committed to memory. Your subconscious is going create the emotions and responses that you have to everyday information you take in. Through self awareness, you can begin to reprogram your subconscious mind and the beliefs you hold within the subconscious. The weekly aura cleanse can help you remove mental clutter and increase your self awareness, which can make this process easier.
Understanding Your Subconscious Exercise
To understand yourself, means to also understand whats going on in your subconscious mind. When we live our everyday life, our subconscious creates tons of information about our surroundings, the people we're around and our activities. The majority of this information is never brought into our conscious thoughts, though. Our goal is to gain more insight into our subconscious mind by using deductive reasoning. Follow these steps to build the skill to thoroughly understand your subconscious mind. This will allow you to be more clear on your emotions, behaviors and patterns.
- The first step is understanding your triggers. Whenever you feel anxious, sad or angry, get to the root of the past traumas or experiences that have created the belief systems fueling these emotions from your subconscious. Ex: You're out in public and notice your leg shaking. Ask yourself "why am I nervous right now?" notice what your attention is drawn to in your environment. Then ask "why does ____ make me feel nervous?" allow yourself to recall any anxiety inducing events that have happened in the past which are similar to the situation you're in now. After you do this, see if there are any unreasonable conclusions held in your subconscious mind that are creating unnecessary anxiety (or whatever emotion you're analyzing) currently.
- Working through your triggers. Once you're aware of your emotions and any beliefs that are creating issues for you currently, begin to deconstruct those belief systems. If you have a trauma creating self pity, self destruction, an inappropriate emotional response or self defeatism, notice when these behaviors are activated and begin to reflect on your emotional reasoning for the behaviors. Get to the root of why you feel the need to behave in a way which is consciously irrational. Once you understand your emotional reasoning along with the trauma which created reasoning in your subconscious, you can begin to deconstruct the belief system that fuels the emotional reason and consciously build and nurture a healthier, more conducive way of being.
- Creating the habit to understand your true intentions. After learning how to identify the major responses that stem from the subconscious mind, start becoming aware of the "everyday" instances. Understanding not only why you're having a bad day, but why certain unhealthy states have become normalized for you. If you're often in an irritable, sad, anxious or angry mood, get to the root of what belief system is creating the disposition for you by feeling out how the mood is a familiar space for you. We can often trace feelings of familiarity back to our childhood environments. Ex: If you grew up with an anxious mother, this could've created the belief that women are anxious or in order to be a mother, you have to be anxious. If you grew up with a parent who struggled with an addiction, it can create the belief that internal instability is normal. Once you understand your everyday "moods" you will be able to further your understanding of your subconscious and successfully change the direction of your thoughts and strengthen a productive, positive internal dialogue.
- Recognizing when an irrational, unhealthy or counterproductive response surfaces. We have years of programming to undo, so be patient with yourself. We're not perfect, so we'll have bad days. Continue to master your ego and get to the root of the subconscious programming driving your emotions. Whenever you have a "bad" moment, take some time to yourself to reflect before the situation escalates any further. When reflecting, implement the practices and knowledge above to take the first steps of ending the unhealthy cycles that created the response the situation brought out of you.
Mastering your internal dialogue requires accountability, patience and discipline. The hard work will pay off as our internal world determines how we navigate the world around us.

Usher is going to Vegas!
The eight-time Grammy Award winner is embarking on a 12-date residency at The Colosseum beginning July 16, 2021 and running until Jan. 1, 2022.
via Billboard:
"I cannot wait to perform for an audience," Usher says in an exclusive interview with Billboard. "In Vegas, I get a chance to create the show that I want, and I get a chance to be with my fans who've been cooped up for months and months."
While the show promoted by Live Nation and Caesars Entertainment is still in creative development, the multi-hyphenate performer whose career spans 20 years promises an immersive experience designed for the Las Vegas audience highlighting early records, recent songs and new music. For Usher's audience, this represents a special opportunity to see him as the venue is an "intimate" 4,300 seats and he normally plays arenas.
"This is a real treat because it's the first time I've ever done anything quite like this. You have benchmarks, right? You want to have your record played on the radio and then go on to win a Grammy. Vegas was always a benchmark for me that I couldn't wait to be able to do," Usher says. " I can pull from all of the things that I've done— a little bit of acting, a little bit of personality, a little bit of music, dance. I can be more intimate than I've ever been with my audience, allowing people to come in and feel a different level of connection to the songs. Las Vegas is all about really shining it up."
He also hopes to shed light on the technical intricacies that go into his performances—exploring meaning through movement, wardrobe, lighting and storytelling.
"If you want to just hear the songs, you can play them. But to take people deeper into the songs and give them a viewpoint they didn't have, or maybe they might have overlooked and missed—that's what my focus is. I really want to bring you through the experience of what the music means," Usher says. "I've done a lot of research around immersive experiences all around the world. I traveled to Paris, London, Germany, and New York City, the South and also Los Angeles to really understand the nuances of immersive experiences."
Conversations for the multidate engagement began in February when Usher flew to Vegas thinking he was going to have some fun and it turned into an offer of a lifetime.
"We get on a plane to slide down to Las Vegas—it's not unusual to go from L.A. and just have a weekend. First of all, we go to Nobu at Caesars, and we have a really great dinner and it's a group of friends. Some who are new and some who are known," Usher says. "Then, we go on this long, winding walk in a tunnel through the entire hotel and we end up in a boardroom. All of a sudden, [executives from Caesars and Live Nation] explain exactly why [they brought me here] and what I've been looking at the entire time—I just wanted to get a chance to see the back of the house. They were like, 'we want you to put together a residency.' I was over the moon."
It all sank in when he stepped on the stage of The Colosseum—a dream come true moment for the singer, songwriter, actor and dancer. "I was walking around coming up with ideas. It was amazing," he says. The theater is also home to residences by Keith Urban, Mariah Carey and Sting.
Right after this highest of highs, came the shutdown of the entertainment industry and like everyone else, he hit pause. The "Caught Up" singer shares that 2020 has given him the opportunity to peel back the layers of his creative process. "When you aren't able to move around and do shows and interact, it changes the dynamic of how you create music and how you create intellectual property," he explains. "I would say the one great benefit is that I feel more connected. I feel more empathetic, as far as some of the things that I chose to write about, songs that I chose to offer to the world. I feel I was able to better myself."
Usher's clearly a betting man, because planning a residency amid a pandemic is nothing BUT a gamble. Vegas should suit him well.
I'll be kicking off my Vegas residency July 2021 at @CaesarsPalace Colosseum! Tix go on sale Thursday 9/10 at 10 AM PT, but you can get yours starting Monday. Text me at (404) 737-1821 and I'll hit you back with the presale code this weekend. All dates at https://t.co/QTITBB3wtW pic.twitter.com/dz5eESVhG0
— Usher Raymond IV (@Usher) September 4, 2020

An Educator remote dog training collar is a powerful tool, but it's only effective when there's a proper fit. In this post, you'll learn three steps to ensure that your dog's Educator e collar fits perfectly. The three steps to properly fitting a remote dog training collar are using the correct contact point size, getting a snug collar fit, and grooming your dog regularly. We'll now go over each of these three steps in more detail.
Step one: using the proper contact point size
The first step to properly fitting your remote dog training collar is to use the appropriate contact point size.
In order for the Educator training collar to work, both of the contact points need to make solid contact with the dog's skin. When you purchase an Educator remote dog training collar, we send you the two most popular sizes that will work with about 80% of dogs; 5/8″ and 3/4″.
However, if your dog has super long fur you might want to consider picking up a set of the 1″ contact points from our Accessories category. On the flip side, if your dog has super short fur like a Boxer or Doberman, we also offer the 3/8″Micro points. Also sold separately for $8.
Using the right contact point size is an important step in making it an effective training tool.
Step two: ensuring a snug collar fit
In step two of properly fitting the remote dog training collar you will make sure that you have a snug fit.
- Position your Educator receiver-collar high on your dog's neck, to the left or right side of the throat. If you place the collar too low it will move and not be effective.
- Tighten the e collar strap snugly so that it does not slide around when your dog moves his head. You should be able to get 2 finger between the e collar strap and the dog's neck. It should not be too tight, or it could cause what some people call collar-sores, or Pressure Necrosis, on the dog's neck, which is similar to human bed sores.
- Wiggle the collar to ensure that it is snug and that the contact points are against the skin.
Step three: grooming your dog
The third step to ensuring a proper remote dog training collar fit is grooming your dog. Brushing your dog's coat helps make the Educator e collar an effective tool.
By brushing away old hair from your dog's neck you will get better contact between the collar and the dog's skin. Some people will even thin or trim the fur around the dog's neck area where the receiver-collar will sit.
Grooming is the third and final step to getting a proper e collar fit for your dog.
In conclusion
You now know the three key steps to getting a proper remote dog training collar fit. When you use the appropriate contact point size, ensure a snug collar fit, and take time to groom your dog you guarantee that your Educator e collar will work well. Now you're ready to go out and train your dog.
When you purchase directly from www.EducatorCollars.com you'll receive a free copy of our exclusive step-by-step Educator Collar training eBook where you'll get more detailed information on proper e collar fit and lots more.

View the overlap between your audience and your selected targeting platform, such as a DSP, so you can forecast and plan campaign performance before activating segments. There are also options to share data with destinations like ad services, DSPs, ad networks etc.
Target Market Segmentation
Group profiles into segments using Segment Builder to target your most valuable users and measure the population of a segment in real time to improve your campaign results.
In this case, it's easier hitting a smaller target.
Every person who visits your site wants an experience worth their time. They want to know you understand their needs. That's why it's important to create tightly grouped segments.
Our Segment Builder tool has the solution. Build target audience segments that are focused enough that the messages you send are personal. Segment Builder lets you start with a single trait — such as price, colour or gender — called a signal. You can combine signals to create a trait, which narrows your audience. The final step is to combine traits to create segments. By organising site visitors into segment groups, you activate the audience with similar campaign messaging.
See what makes it work.
Boolean logic
Quickly and easily group traits together with "and" "or" and "and not" qualifiers, so that you're reaching a focused, relevant audience.
Automate segmentation
Advanced users can program the code editor to create audience segmentation criteria. Then we handle the segmentation so you can focus on campaigns.
Recency and frequency
Segment visitors based on actions that occur or repeat at set daily intervals. It can be determined by their real (or perceived) level of interest in a site, section or particular creative.
Segment size estimator
Powered by Adobe Sensei, get a real-time estimate of your segment population to know the size of the audience you are creating. This ensures that you are reaching a focused, relevant audience.

We may be a little bit ahead of the game on this one, but if you are planning on running an ultra marathon, you are likely going to have to put some training in. July 2018 brings one of my personal favorites to Salem, Angry Owl Ultra Marathon a Crusty Cap Event. Angry Owl is held at Bush Pasture Park. Last year I ran Angry Owl for the inaugural event. I knew as I finished the 6 hr race with goals meet, I would be back in 2018. Race director Josh and his team do a great job organizing this event. They have made a few small changes this year, making it even better. For 2018 there will be a 24 hours race added. The start/finish line has also been moved from the derby track over to the southeast end of the park by the softball field, giving runners closer access to their cars. This Ultra is really a friendly course to both first timers wanting an Ultra under their belt, or long time Ultra runners.
The course is just over a mile loop and flat. The loop consist of hard packed dirt, well-maintained non-technical trail, packed gravel, and a little asphalt. You will go onto the derby track and past the stadium. You will then run into a wooded area and around the to softball field. The course will be a well marked. The start and finish will be at the end of the park by the softball field. 1050 Leffelle St. SE Salem OR will bring you to the starting line.
When: Saturday and Sunday July 28th-29th 2018
- 24 hour: starts at noon Saturday and ends at noon Sunday
- 12 hour: pick from two start times. Noon on Saturday or midnight on Sunday.
- 6 hour: pick from two start times. Noon on Saturday or 6:00a on Sunday.
Awards will be given about 12:20 on Sunday.

- 6 hour: $60 (after May 31st, $75)
- 12 hour: $95 (after May 31st $115)

There will be an aid station near the start/finish area with water, Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel, Gu, fruit, salty and sweet snacks, and a few other goodies. You may leave your own foods near the finish line for easy access as you're running.
Why "ANGRY OWL?" There are Owls that live at Bush Pasture Park and they have gained a whole lot of attention! A few runners have been "attacked" by the Owls flying down and stealing their hats as they run by! Don't worry, no runners were seriously hurt in these attacks. Each runner will receive an Angry Owl Cap when they check in. You might want to hide your cap from the Owls while your run!

'ink-quest' was published from 1973 to '84 as 'communion'. since then it is published as 'ink-quest' in its present form, on issues that concern an existence which is as eco-centric as that of a butterfly among flowers. it is as light as the flower petals it lands on. it is beautiful, but its sense of beauty does not get tarnished even when it lands on the feces or urine. it is equanimous to both nectar and the food matter in the refuse.
'ink-quest' accepts verbal or pictorial articles of observations in thinking, actions or experiments that help one to stop acting out the learnt role-playing. this will help to mend the gap between what one is and what one has learnt to make believe what one is due to the fear of the loss of the self-identity of the role-playing. consequently, articles appearing in 'ink-quest' bear no name of the author and thus offer no identity of the writer. Send articles to 'span' by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
'ink-quest' is but an inquiry without the professional inquirer. it is a quest in ink without the printed material becoming a commercial publication. so there is no subscription fee, nor is it sold. it is sent to those persons who are somehow in places whence a change of ecocentric nature would feel effortless. should you know of some such persons, and feel that copies of 'ink-quest' should be sent to them, do write to us, or make a copy and send it yourself.
expenses for this issue were paid for from the gifts to 'span', inc., which is a tax exempt, 501 (c) (3) educational organization.

Leukemia is a type of cancer that causes your body to make too many blood cells, especially white blood cells. White blood cells are a part of your immune system, which helps protect you from infection and disease.
In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), your body makes large numbers of white blood cells called lymphocytes. The cells may work as they should, but your body makes too many of them. Over time, these cells may not work as well, and they may cause symptoms as they begin to crowd out healthy white blood cells and other parts of your blood.
There are several treatments for CLL, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or radiation therapy. But because CLL may get worse slowly, sometimes treatment can wait. Your doctor will follow your progress and let you know if or when you need treatment.
When you find out that you have cancer, you may feel many emotions and may need some help coping. Seek out family, friends, and counsellors for support. You also can do things at home to make yourself feel better while you go through treatment. Call the Canadian Cancer Society (1-888-939-3333) or visit its website at www.cancer.ca for more information.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor or nurse advice line (811 in most provinces and territories) if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
Call 911 anytime you think you may need emergency care. For example, call if:

The use of blockchain technology has seen a tremendous growth during the last few years and can be applied in a large variety of sectors (e.g. trade and commerce, healthcare, governance etc.). Potential applications of the blockchain technology can include fund transfers, pledging of collateral, registration of shares, settling trades, voting, and many other issues.
In its most widely used form nowadays, blockchain is the technology that forms the backbone of the crypto-market. It is the technology behind the large variety of cryptocurrencies currently in circulation (i.e. the technology that cryptocurrencies can run).
Blockchain is one type of so-called distributed ledger technology ("DLT"). DLT is a way of recording and sharing data across multiple electronic ledgers, which each have the exact same data records and are collectively maintained and controlled by a distributed network of computer, which are called nodes.
Blockchain is a mechanism that employs an encryption method known as cryptography and uses (a set of) specific mathematical algorithms to create and verify a continuously growing data structure – to which data can only be added and from which existing data cannot be removed – that takes the form of a chain of "transaction blocks", which functions as a distributed ledger.
Cryptocurrencies or Cryptos has become a "buzzword" recently which refers to a form of virtual/digital currencies (i.e. a digital representation of value, issued by private developers and denominated in their own unit of account) that utilise a technological technique better known as cryptography.
In simple terms, cryptography is the technique of protecting information by transforming it (i.e. encrypting it) into an unreadable format that can only be decrypted by someone who possesses a secret key. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, are secured via this technique using an ingenious system of public and private digital keys.
ICO (Initial Coin Offering)
An ICO is a new way of raising money from the public, using so-called coins or tokens. In an ICO, a business or individual issues coins or tokens and puts them for sale in exchange for fiat currencies, such as the Euro, or more often virtual currencies, e.g. Bitcoin or Ether.
ICOs are used to raise funds for a variety of projects, including but not limited to businesses leveraging on the Blockchain.
The features and purpose of the coins or tokens vary across ICOs:
- Some coins or tokens serve to access or purchase a service or product that the issuer develops using the proceeds of the ICO (usually called utility tokens);
- Others provide voting rights or a share in the future revenues of the issuing venture (usually called security or asset tokens);
- Some have no tangible value; and
- Some coins or tokens are traded and/or may be exchanged into fiat or virtual currencies at specialised coin exchanges after issuance.
How can MAP S.Platis assist you?
MAP S.Platis with its multidisciplinary team can offer a range of services in relation to Cryptocurrencies and ICOs. Learn more about our services on blockchain, cryptos and ICOs here.

KABC lets viewers monitor and report on 'Carmageddon'
In the Internet age, broadcasters' mandated community service responsibilities have taken on new meaning. Los Angeles station KABC is providing viewers with a dedicated traffic alert app for their cell phones that looks to move people through what could turn out to be the worst traffic nightmare the city has ever seen. And, for LA, that's saying a lot.
As the city gets prepared for "Carmageddon"— a weekend later this month when the 405 Freeway will be shut down in both directions from Friday night to Monday morning — KABC is letting viewers file their own traffic reports. Viewers can watch KABC before they leave their homes to plan their driving routes with the latest traffic news, and then use the app to get updates while they're driving. They can also provide their own.
The ABC O&O has teamed up with Waze, the creator of a popular traffic app that lets users record traffic conditions using their smartphones. Information recorded using the app will be shared with KABC, who will air real-time traffic reports on road congestion during "Carmageddon."
Cheryl Fair, KABC's vice president and news director, said the traffic app allows viewers "to play an active part in easing the traffic congestion."
The station eventually hopes to have access to Waze's "road reporters." KABC would be able to locate drivers on a map and could communicate with them from the scene — after they've pulled over, of course.
For safety reasons, consumers can't use the Waze system while they drive.

|SOLD! ~ 1403 S. Fulton Street
If you missed the opportunity to buy into the Fulton Street bungalow ~ and investing time and elbow grease is not your cup of tea ~ it's not too late!
|927 N Main ~ c. 1928 Brick Bungalow ~ $149,900
927 N. Main additionally has a rear-access alleyway with solid cinder-block two-car garage. You'll be able to enjoy dining al fresco on your patio amid mature maples and fig trees, to the sound of your built-in water feature.
A bungalow is a single-story house, the design of which originated in India, where it was typically a small home featuring a veranda. The British adopted the style into their summerhouses in the 1600s and the bungalow later became famous in America with a high-status connotation. The bungalows of today have evolved and offer many advantages to the occupants of these
The early 20thcentury American bungalow, due to its single-story design and moderate and open space, is an affordable living style due to modest heating and cooling requirements compared to other types of properties with multiple floors. AND . . . the bungalow is often the best investment in terms of home ownership: The property value of bungalow homes is not likely to decline. This architectural style has withstood the test of time, and a well-maintained house will have a higher resale value even during hard times. Its unique look is often a good selling point compared to recent development properties, many of which look the same.

We use vacuum cleaners to clean our houses of dirt. Imagine if you could take the same principle and it apply it on a larger scale. Fascinating, isn't it? Daan Roosegaarde felt the same way too and came up with something which seems quite absurd but simultaneously so feasible and amazing that the designer is actually busy talking with the mayor of Beijing in order to develop it further for use in the city. Beijing has become so congested that pollution is inevitable. Due to the overwhelming population, there are a large number of automobiles which are contributing to the pollution as well.
The particular vacuum cleaner has been developed using buried coils of copper which are responsible for creating an ion electrostatic field which is capable of attracting smog particles. These particles are then magnetized and pulled down. This results in a sufficient window of air above which is clear of smog.
The gadget so far is not capable of working on a city-basis but the idea is to take an initiative by clearing hundreds of feet of air in key areas which includes parks, squares and other places where pedestrians are present in a large number. A prototype has already been made functional which is capable of sucking up a square meter area's polluted air and is able to punch a hole in the cloud of smog which was artificially created. The resulting particles are collected below effectively and safely.
In words of the designer; 'We have created machines to enhance ourselves. We invented the wheel and cars to liberate ourselves and travel. But now these machines are striking back, making air polluted in high-density cities like Beijing.'
This design firm is also responsible for the sustainable dance floor (creates electricity when you dance on it) and smart highways which are capable of producing their own light and now they are working on his vacuum cleaner to make the cities cleaner and safer to live in.

Dealing with the running of Heaven, the creation of a new Earth, and a literal administrative Hell has the newly deified Kate and Daniel both frazzled and emotionally drained in Earth, the third book of Mur Lafferty's Afterlife series. Despite their godly powers and knowledge, they lack the experience to handle their new positions as gracefully as they would like. In fact, Kate relies heavily on her heavenly advisers while Daniel frets about how to run Hell on his own.
These initial problems lead to tension between the two friends. Kate's aggravation is plain as Daniel complains about his responsibilities. This time though, their travels through the afterlife don't provide the answers the seek, and they must ultimately find the solutions within themselves. Meanwhile, mistakes of epic proportions threaten the tender new Earth and its inhabitants. Will Kate and Daniel solve their problems and save the Universe?
You'll need to read the book to find out.
Fans of speculative fiction, especially lovers of mythology, will enjoy this book. However, readers should begin with the first book in the series, Heaven, to avoid confusion. The first three books are well worth the read, and I'm looking forward to reading Wasteland, the fourth book in the Afterlife series.
One Response to Review: Earth by Mur Lafferty
Now you are ahead of me. Thanks, Catherine. 🙂

From an op-ed piece title Stop Wage Payments to the Corrupt.
According to the National Civil Service Agency (BKN), the government is spending a huge amount of money on the salaries of civil servants who have been convicted of graft.
Out of the 2,674 civil servants that were convicted of corruption, the agency said that only 317 were dishonorably dismissed, meaning that the remaining 2,357 are still active as civil servants and receiving a monthly salary, which the BKN estimates is costing the state as much as US$1.6 million per month.

Main Quest
Bald Mountain

Next Quest
Final Preparations
Previous Quest
Blood on the Battlefield
Bald Mountain is a Main Quest in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. Main Quests are the main storyline of the game that can have a major effect towards the endings. Some of these quests may have dialogue choices that will alter the ending of the game.
Vesemir's death tore a gaping hole in Ciri's heart and left only a burning drive for revenge to fill it. This drive burned all the higher when she learned from Avallac'h that Imlerith, the general of the Hunt who murdered Vesemir, would be attending the Crones sabbath on Bald Mountain. Ciri smelled blood and decided at once to travel to No Ma,'s Land and kill Imlerith. Geralt, that calculating, practical-minded witcher, as usual caved immediately to his adopted daughter's wishes and agreed to accompany her on this expedition. The pair thus slipped out of Kaer Morhhen in the cool light of morning and galloped off to find vengeance.
Vengeance is what they found, and, though served warm, it was nonetheless sweet. The duo found their way to the top of Bald Mountian and there Ciri killed two of the three Crones while Geralt triumphed in a deathmatch against Imlerith. The only bitter note - the third Crone escaped, taking with her Vesemir's medallion, the only memento Ciri had kept of her dead friend and mentor.
The Witcher 3 Bald Mountain Objectives
- Talk to Thecla and get permission to climb the mountain.
- Retrieve the coin Thecla threw in the water by using Witcher Senses.
- Give the coin to Thecla.
- Travel the path to the peak of Bald Mountain.
- Kill the three Crones.
- Use blink to strike all three Crones and disturb their spell.
- Find Imlerith.
- Kill Imlerith.
- Talk to Ciri once you are ready to go to Novigrad.
Rewards for Bald Mountain in The Witcher 3
- 1000 xp
Walkthrough Bald Mountain in The Witcher 3
Disembark from the boat and ask Ciri what she knows about the place and why she think Imlerith is present. As you walk along the road she will warn you about Aen Elle elves. At the top of the steps speak to guard and man. Ask them about the feast, why the gates are closed and the ladies descending to the village. You will be directed to see Thecla aftewards.
Head down the village's main path. You meet up with Johnny the Godling and Sarah the Godling if you removed her during Novigrad Dreaming. Speak to Johnny and he will tell you the only way up the mountain is by permission from Thecla and that she has a guest.
Cross the wooden bridge and go into a tent on your right and see Marlca and Thecla. Ciri is accepted but you are not. Answer how you wish and prepare for a judgement.
Dive off the ledge and swim to the underwater tunnel, avoiding the drowners. Use your Witcher Senses to scan the area for the coin which is near the junction of the deadend alcove and the exit tunnels. Swim to the exit tunnel and head west to exit the pool. Mind the fiend prowling the area here. Climb over the rocks to the wooden stairs on the southeast and make your way back to the tent. You are deemed worthy and allowed to keep the coin.
Head back across the wooden bridge and turn east at the petroglyph rock and head towards the entrance to the mountain. You will meet Fugas, who will attack you. Defeat him and discuss with Ciri who will face the Crones and who will face Imlerith. After a game of rock, paper, scissors, Ciri gets the crones and you get Imlerith.
You are now controlling Ciri. Head along the tunnel and swim into the pool heading southwest. Climb up and head into the crones' cave. They welcoome you in and the conversation turns violent. They are a tough fight and you must stay nimble through it. Target the large one first, and be mindful of the bloody water. Inspect the corpses when they are slain. Weavess comes to and tosses you.
You now switch back to Geralt. Take the path up Bald Mountain and cross the bridge, climbing the rock ledges to a bonfire. Be prepared for a battle, by preparing your potions and meditating before you confront Imlerith. He will ask where Ciri is. Regardless of your answer, the fight will begin.
Imlerith is not as slow as he looks and can teleport around. Use the potions at your disposal to improve your chances against him. The mace can only be dodged or rolled from, so stick close and dodge. Flank him and attack behind his shield. Otherwise his shield will stop everything it encounters. When he teleports he gains a frost coating which can be burnt off with Igni. Eventually you can warp his shield to the point where it gets knocked aside, letting you make an attack.
When he's down to 20 percent, he tosses his shield down and swings wildly. In the final phase, focus on dodging and rolling until Imlerith gets his mace stuck in the ground. He rcovers as soon as you strike him so be ready to dodge. Be patient, waiting for openings and whittle his health down.
Once Imerith is defeated, Ciri joins you and you compare your notes. She suggests you meet up with Yennefer and Triss in Novigrad. You can either set off or say not yet. If you explore a little around Bald Mountain and Imlerith's corpse you can find a strange acorn that the villagers say is an important seed. Once ready to set off, 2 villagers stop and ask you about the acorn. You can say you don't know about them, give them the acorn so another tree may grow, or keep it and eat it to earn 2 skill points.

The Witcher 3 Notes & Trivia for Bald Mountain
- Player notes, bugs, and trivia go here


text:
In late 1851, Henry Wikoff was an American, a bastard, a spent-out heir, a former would-be newspaper mogul, a former theatrical impresario, and an about-to-be-fired secret agent for the British government. He was also a fortune-hunter, trying desperately to convince a woman named Jane Catherine Gamble to marry him—so desperately that when she lost interest, he kidnapped her. Although he went to jail for the crime, he managed, once free, to spin the experience into a surprise best-seller. Deceit, pistols, chloroform, sexual scandal, sexual ambiguity, manipulation of the mass media, women's rights, a racy trial transcript, inadvertently revealing quotations of Shakespeare, one of the first-ever American comic books, and an attestation of the phrase "confidence man" at least one year prior to any previous scholarly attestation of the phrase. The Wikoff-Gamble story has it all, and so I've made a short YouTube video about it, starring Kevin Spacey and Helen Mirren.
Oh, wait. No, actually, it seems that what I did was that I wrote a scholarly article about it, instead. Well, that's nearly as exciting, no? I mean, you aren't the sort of people who would click on a link to a YouTube video but avoid a scholarly article?
For the record, by the way, you're getting this at an incredible price point. A subscription to American Literary History costs $55, and a single issue of the journal $17. And you're getting it free, by virtue of the secret link to the article that the journal editors sent me. In other words, if you go direct to the ALH website and search for the article, well, first of all you won't find it, because it's not officially published yet, but even if you were to find it, you'd have to pay actual money to read it. Honestly, how often do you get to read a 36-page academic article for free? Plus, there are pictures.

No one likes the idea of unwanted visitors in their attic, but sometimes people think that if they ignore the problem, it'll simply go away. This isn't true at all, and choosing to drown out the scratching or squeaking you hear could be a very costly and potentially dangerous mistake. Rodents in your attic or walls can cause severe damage to your home and health issues to your family.
Don't Ignore Noises in the Attic
There are many noises you may hear when rats and other rodents nest in your attic, such as thuds from playing or squeaks from rodent conversation. Every scratch and bump is evidence that they're rearranging insulation and chewing their way through the structure of your home.
One of the biggest issues with these invaders is the fact that they chew on everything. Because their teeth never stop growing, rodents must gnaw on a variety of surfaces and materials to maintain their teeth. Unfortunately, one of the most frequently chewed items is wiring. When they strip away the protective rubber or plastic and expose bare wire, it creates an incredible fire hazard. Ignoring the situation, hoping the critter will leave or pass away, or pretending there isn't a problem at all could be dangerous.
Avoid Housing Disease-Carrying Rodents
The most common visitors are rats and mice, and their presence in your home is certainly not without risk. The droppings, fur, and bites of wild rats and other rodents can transmit more than 30 diseases to humans. When they're tumbling around in your attic, they may break into ductwork, spreading germs across your home.
Don't let a few visitors turn into an infestation, or prevent their entrance from the beginning. Call Critter Control of Gainesville at 352-372-3922 for a free estimate today.

1 Is it possible to initiate court proceedings via the internet?
Yes, you may, but this depends on the court/tribunal before which the proceedings are to be instituted.
2 If so, for what types of cases is it available? Are any proceedings available exclusively via the internet?
The following are proceedings that may be initiated by means of an application via the internet:
- Proceedings before the Small Claims Tribunal;
- Proceedings before the Administrative Review Tribunal; and
- Proceedings before the Court of Magistrates (Malta) and the Court of Magistrates (Gozo) in its inferior jurisdiction.
There are no proceedings that are only available via the internet.
3 Is the facility available at all times (i.e. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or just during specific hours? If so, what are those hours?
This facility is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but the claim/application is processed during Court opening hours, that is from 9 am until 3 pm (from 1 October to 15 June) and from 8 am to 12 pm (from 16 June to 30 September). If the claim/application is filed outside these times, it is regarded as having been filed on the following working day at the times mentioned above.
4 Should the details of the claim be provided in any particular format?
For claims in the Small Claims Tribunal, this is done by completing the appropriate form, which is available online, with all of the details required for it to be submitted for processing.
In the case of an Application before the Administrative Review Tribunal and also the Court of Magistrates (Malta) and before the Court of Magistrates (Gozo) in its inferior jurisdiction, the details must first be filled in as required by the eform and a scanned copy of the application must then be attached in the format required by law, together with the documents, if any.
5 How is transmission and storage of data secured?
Transfer of data is effected in an encrypted manner and the retention thereof is regulated by Government policy.
6 Is it necessary to use any kind of electronic signature and/or time record?
When initiating a claim before the Small Claims Tribunal, it is not necessary to use any kind of electronic signature. However, replies, replies to counterclaims and appeals before that Tribunal are signed electronically, since these require logging on with an e-id.
Where legal action is brought before the Administrative Review Tribunal, the Court of Magistrates (Malta), and the Court of Magistrates (Gozo) in its inferior jurisdiction, this is automatically signed electronically since this is a service offered only to lawyers and legal procurators after they register for such a service by means of the e-id.
Concerning the time, as soon as a claim/application is filed, the time and date are generated automatically.
7 Are court fees payable? If so, how can they be paid and are they different to those for non-electronic procedures?
Yes, the fees related to the act filed online are also paid online. The fees are the same as those paid when the acts are not filed electronically.
8 Is it possible to withdraw a claim that has been initiated via the internet?
This cannot be done online. Anyone wishing to withdraw a case must visit the Court Registry in person to do so.
9 If the claimant initiates proceedings via the internet is it possible and/or compulsory for the defendant to respond using the internet as well?
In the case of proceedings before the Small Claims Tribunal, the Administrative Review Tribunal, the Court of Magistrates (Malta) and the Court of Magistrates (Gozo) in its inferior jurisdiction, the online service provided is only for the institution of proceedings. It is not yet possible to reply to this type of proceedings via the internet.
In the case of proceedings before the Small Claims Tribunal, as well as instituting a case it is also possible to file a reply, a reply to a counterclaim and an appeal online.
The respondent is not obliged to reply via the internet.
10 In terms of the electronic procedure what happens if the defendant responds to the claim?
Regardless of whether or not there is a reply to the claim, the case is set down for hearing.
11 In terms of the electronic procedure what happens if the defendant does not respond to a claim?
Regardless of whether or not there is a reply to the claim, and once the time limit for that reply has elapsed, the case is set down for hearing.
12 Is it possible to submit documents to a court electronically and if so in what type of proceedings and under what conditions is it possible?
It is possible to file documents electronically when they are filed together with the original claim which is also being made electronically.
13 Can judicial documents, and particularly judgments, be served via the internet?
According to Maltese law, service of judgments is not required.
14 Can judicial decisions be given electronically?
All preliminary or final judgments are read out in open court and a copy is given to the parties or the legal representative present at the hearing. It is, however, possible to obtain an electronic copy of the judgment as will be explained below.
15 Can an appeal be made and its decision served via the internet?
An appeal via the internet is only possible in the case of an appeal against the decision of the Small Claims Tribunal, but the judgment cannot be notified via the internet.
16 Is it possible to initiate enforcement proceedings via the internet?
This is not possible.
17 Can the parties or their legal representatives consult on-line cases? If so, how this can be done?
The Justice Services website provides an online service for decisions which can be accessed free of charge by legal representatives as well as by the general public.
In addition to this website, legal professionals can use their e-id to subscribe to the eCourts service at https://ecourts.gov.mt/onlineservices/ where they can have access to cases, judicial acts and warrants.

after some world-class procrastination for the last two months (though i prefer the term "percolation") i ran up against a deadline today, and decided to confront it with a 24-hour poem free-for-all! i managed to bang out, well, 24 poems in 24 hours, the (rather nasty) results you can see here. (not to be confused with 24hourpoemS) . and yes, all on the topic of love, which was a bit of a bother. feel free to comment, i'll leave it up for a week, afte rwhich
first review
corrie tan from the straits times has stolen my reviewginity!
she awarded me 3.5/5 stars! :D (democracy, peace, a bit of progress, without equality and justice)
"...his work picks and prods at the seams of Singaporean-ness, not always effectively, but with a blend of cheerfulness and cynicism that is difficult to resist."
she also makes an interesting case for creative writing within the inherently restrictive nature of the sonnet form being a metaphor for "the many liberties we still manage to take within the unbending structure of our country". not from my lips!

ABC News reports that the CIA station chief in Algeria is being investigated for drugging and raping two Muslim women. Captain Ed has thoughts.
In subsequent reporting ABC News tells us that, based on an affidavit for a search warrant, the alleged rapist is Andrew Warren.
Barring a stunning coincidence, this Andrew Warren must be the author of "The People of the Veil", a spy thriller set in, well, Algeria.
Here is the author's bio as of Sept 2002:
Mr. Warren's career in the Foreign Service, and now as an author, has allowed him to fulfill his lifelong dream of combining his myriad of experiences and his love of writing into one career. Mr. Warren injects a cultural, intellectual, psychological realism into his writing that could only have come about by his many years of living and working abroad. He currently resides in New York City.
And a bit more here:
East Expert Weaves An Electrifying Story Line Ripped From
Today's Headline
Book Signing at Justin's Attracts Nearly 300 people
The New York Amsterdam News, May 2- May 8 2002
The full text of this article may be found at The New York Amsterdam News.
At the end of the night, Mr. Warren took some time to express his gratitude to everyone who came out and a special thanks to his family and friends who supported him along the way. "I am extremely overwhelmed by the number of people who have come out today," said Warren. "I wrote the book to explore my love of literature and to write a suspenseful thriller, that portrayed the Middle East in a more accurate light. Through this book, I hope to teach people about the true meaning of Islam."
Warren added that he hope readers will learn a great deal about Algeria and the Middle East from reading his book.

Melt Away: A Tribute To Brian Wilson CD
- Low stock - 9 items left
- Inventory on the way
She & Him's seventh studio album is a loving, LP-length tribute to one of the greatest living American songwriters and singers, Brian Wilson. Melt Away: A Tribute to Brian Wilson finds Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward diving deep into the legendary artist's extensive songbook, offering fascinating and delectable new spins on time-honored classics and overlooked gems alike. These fourteen covers are infused with the familiar magic that She & Him fans know and love, opening a new window into Wilson's iconic catalog. Wilson even features on a song with Zooey and M. Ward for the album, "Do It Again." The band have enjoyed a friendship, and mutual appreciation, with Wilson over the years and She & Him was previously a guest vocalist on his 2015 album, No Pier Pressure.
"In the spring of 2020, we started a list of our favorite Brian songs — a very long list," the duo explains. "We chose songs without any regard to their chart performance. The obscure ones hit us just as hard as the more popular songs — and all are ripe for re-imagining, re-interpreting, and re-inventing. Brian writes songs of beauty and loneliness and vulnerability better than anyone — and by sequencing them next to popular songs of confidence and love and fun, it creates a more complete picture of life on earth."

What is it that you want from life?
To be free from indecision;
Or children, a husband, a wife.
Free to choose without derision.
What is it that you want?
Don't make me keep asking.
Why would you rather flaunt,
A past with no action.
What is it that,
Keeps you awake;
Makes you pick at
Each small mistake?
What is,
Your cause of strife?
You need to remove this.
What is it that you want from life?
