Legal Access Services Pty Ltd was founded in 1999 by Peter Foster-Bunch to meet a growing need for affordable access to legal advice for ordinary Australians.
For many years prior to 1999 Peter helped meet this need for affordable legal advice by establishing and running a phone based legal advice service. Then he came to realise that the power of the Internet had the potential to provide the same level of service to many more consumers at a fraction of the cost. That is how Legal Access Services was born.
Legal Access Services is not a law firm. We exist to help law consumers, both individuals and small business, to obtain affordable access to the law. We are passionate about making high quality legal information and advice as accessible as we can to as many people as we can.
The benefit of legal advice to individuals and small businesses is obvious. All too often people don't seek legal advice because they are scared of the costs and effort involved. This can lead to relatively small issues escalating to the point where they become complicated and expensive.
Getting a legal issue 'nipped in the bud' can be orders of magnitude cheaper than seeking legal advice as an avenue of last resort.
Access to our legal advice service is absolutely free to all qualifying customers or members of our corporate clients.
Once a law consumer confirms they qualify for the service, they can lodge a legal enquiry via a secure online form. Within the next few days (usually much sooner) the consumer will receive a response from a qualified lawyer in their area. There is absolutely no charge to the consumer and there is no fixed limit to the number of enquiries that can be lodged.
Several of our clients have also taken up the option to provide our free On-line Legal Will service to their customers.
This service allows users to enter their details and Will requirements into a secure online form.
If their requirements are complex, they will be referred to an appropriate law firm for further advice.
For more simple Wills, the user can enter their details and requirements on-line and generate a Legal Will Document to be printed and signed. The Legal Will document also comes with instructions and a cover letter so the Will can be forwarded to a member of our panel of law firms for free, secure storage.
Legal Access Services law firms are all high quality registered law firms. Go to Our Law Firms to find out more.
Legal Access Services is sponsored by forward thinking companies that realise the importance of providing that little bit extra to their customers or members. Go to Our Sponsors to find out more.
The aim of Legal Access Services is to provide easy access to legal advice to as many people as possible.
To that end we will continue to grow the use of our service by our existing sponsors and to enlist new sponsors.
We will continue to maintain a high level of security and standards to ensure the privacy of all users of our service.
We will also look for ways to provide new and improved services to our users.

50+ Lenders of Hard Money Business Loans
A lot of people call us and tell us they need a Commercial Hard Money Loan and the first question we have for them is, "Why?" We have come to the conclusion that most people do not really understand when the right time for hard money really is. They incorrectly think that hard money loans are the only way to accomplish getting financed.
Here are four reasons why you would want to pursue a Hard Money Business Loan situation:
- You have exhausted all other financial options – There may be other options for you. Let's take a look at your commercial project and see if there is another way.
- You have a short-term project usually between 6 months – 3 years in length.
- The profit margin of your project is substantial and you need to seize an opportunity when it arises.
- You need a transaction lender rather than a relationship lender.
Here are some scenarios to expect from Hard Money Business Loans:
- Collateral: Mainly commercial real-estate, including raw land and development projects
- Interest Rate: Variable from 9% to 14% depending on collateral
- Amortization: Interest Only
- LTV: Up to 80% (usually 65% or below)
- Origination Fee: 1 to 4%
- Closing time: 5 Days to 1 Month
A highly experienced developer in New Jersey wanted to acquire a waterfront commercial office building. Despite his near-perfect credit, several banks had declined him for a conventional loan because of their conservative stance on development projects. By leveraging the developer's other assets and his excellent track record, he was able to receive commercial financing for his acquisition through hard money loans. The lender saw great value in the real estate and was comfortable with other collateral that the developer had offered. The developer paid a higher interest rate, for a short-term, but was not concerned since he was able to get the loan approved and funded quickly. Lower long-term re-financing was possible once the project was stabilized.

With the huge bottles of shampoo and conditioner that many people buy these days, a lot of old shower caddies just aren't doing the job any more. And for shared bathrooms, especially involving teenagers, it seems there isn't enough space for everyone's stuff. Some things to consider when buying a caddy include:
- does it need to hold large capacity bottles
- is space for a bar soap required
- does it need to be portable, i.e. for dorm showers
- how many bins might be required
- durability
- ease of cleaning
- how many hooks do you need to hold loofahs, sponges and wash cloths
To me it's not worth throwing money away on a cheap shower caddy that either blocks the stream of water flow, has a soap tray that doesn't drain properly, won't hold its load or, worst of all, rusts. Some are even designed such that they are too long for the space between the tub faucet and the shower faucet. If your space is short watch the dimensions.
Zenith Products 7446ss Expandable Shower Caddy for Hand Held Shower or Tall Bottles, Chrome
This seems to fit all of my requirements for an over the shower caddy:
- rust resistant
- holds the large capacity bottles of shampoo
- plenty of hooks
- even has a large hook in case you have a hand held shower attachment too
- dimensions are 4.2 x 10.2 x 24.8 inches so should fit almost all showers
Dorm Shower Caddy – Large Black – By Saltwater Canvas
For dorm residents, these are a great solution.
- mesh
- hang it right in the shower, its fully waterproof
- unlike canvass, this is mildew resistant and quick-drying
- pockets will accommodate shower accessories and hair dryer
- great for college dorms, swimmers, travellers, gym members etc.
Simplehuman Adjustable Tension Shower Caddy, Stainless Steel
Pole caddies are great for high volume requirements and for bathrooms that won't hold a large enough over-the-shower-faucet caddy.
- Dimensions: 112.24″ h x 12.72″ w x 8.70″
- adjustable shelves slide up and down to make room for tall bottles
- reinforced aluminum pole with high compression spring fits securely between your floor and ceiling
- fits between 6-9′ spaces
- No tools needed: just extend the caddy to install
- Convenient storage hooks: hold a razor, loofah, toothbrush or other accessories
- Quick dispensing: store bottles upside-down for quick dispensing
Better Living The Dispenser Classic 4 Chamber
For those who prefer a dispenser style caddy, this one gets all the rave reviews. It has four chamber dispensers that utilizes a 'patented pump technology' and comes with a lifetime warranty. The liquid is stored in 15 oz. refillable chambers, so you can buy in bulk to save money and reduce plastic consumption. With one or two strokes of the pump, just the right amount of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel or lotion is dispensed. Installs in minutes without tools using silicone and two way tape (included). Dimensions: 10.00″ h x 11.00″ w x 4.00″.

Hester Burton's Stories
Hester Burton declared that she liked to find some small real event in English history and show how both boys and girls and young men and women could be caught up in the much bigger picture of national crisis or national change.

Brief accounts of each book appear below. Please feel free to send further details where the information is sparse
.
The Great Gale ("The Flood at Reedsmere" in the U.S.A.)
One January evening in 1953 the sea swept through the neglected defences at Reedsmere in Norfolk. The doctor's children, Mark and Mary Vaughan, face the dangers alone in their house. Mary rates herself little better than a coward and Mark was constantly in trouble for being foolish and irresponsible. However, their own peril still did not allow them to forget Jim and Hepzie Foulger whose cottage was on the shore itself. The author takes us through the horror of the storm, the terror of the rescue and the misery of the slow rebuilding of the life of the village.

Castors Away
This is a novel based partly on an actual event in England, 1805, where a Sergeant on a military transport apparently dies and is left on the shipwrecked ship. He is rescued by the members of the Henchman family – Edmund, Tom, Nell and their father,a country doctor. Their struggle to save the unfortunate man's life and then to preserve him from the authorities takes us to Suffolk at the time of the Battle of Trafalgar. The unforgiving nature of military life and the sheer horror of fighting in a ship of the line are convincingly conveyed as the book traces the careers of the different members of the family. At the centre of the book is Nell, a girl whose desire for freedom is always held in check by the fact she is female. This novel was the runner-up for the Carnegie Medal.

Time of Trial
Holly Lane is a little dark bookshop in the shadow of St.Paul's. This is the home of seventeen year old Margaret Pargeter, her father and her brother John. Britain is engaged in the seemingly never-ending war with Napoleon and France and Margaret's idealistic father is fighting for the basic human rights of the ordinary people. Criticism of England during the time of war is a dangerous occupation. However, the tragic collapse of a tenement of poor people's houses stirs the old bookseller to print his pamphlet about a future England in which everything is different. Margaret then undergoes a "time of trial" not just in the courts of law where everything is twisted against her father and justice belongs to the rich, but also at the hands of a destructive mob and a brother who deserts them just when he is most needed. The latter part of the book takes place on the lonely coast of Suffolk where Margaret is snubbed by the father of the man she has come to love and where the army is engaged with the revenue service in destroying the smuggling activities of the local fisherman. This is a story about politics, injustice, suffering, love of one's fellow man and the other unshakeable love between two idealistic young people whose fate is kept uncertain to the very end. It deservedly won the Carnegie medal in 1963.

No Beat of Drum
Jo and Dick Hinton are farm-labourers in the England of 1830. The introduction of machinery has led to a shortage of work so that many men and their families live a life of poverty and near starvation. Desperate men will take desperate measures and one night the men of Stanton St.Jude rise up in anger and despair against the tyranny of their masters. The Hinton brothers have already be involved in one personal tragedy, the deportation of their foster sister, Mary, for a crime for which they feel guilty. Their own fate is to be the same and, after a brief trial, they too are packed off to Van Diemen's Land. The suffering of the poor and the intransigence of the lawyers, clergymen and land-owners puts you firmly on the side of the underdog. Life in the new colony brings further suffering, a tragic death and, at last, the possibility of some happiness.

In Spite of All Terror
In the autumn of 1939 most of the schoolchildren of the East End of London were being evacuated in their thousands to the safety of the English countryside. Liz Hawtin, who had suffered for years from being an unwelcome addition to her Aunt Ag's family, is one fifteen year old who relishes the prospect of a new start with new people and fresh surroundings. Fitting in with the Bruton family proves not to be so easy. However, as they share the common griefs and worries of the war Liz and the family grow gradually closer together. Liz discovers within herself a new person, a girl of courage and adventure that she had never suspected existed. A tremendous book that could be read alongside "Dunkirk Summer" by Philip Turner and "The Dolphin Crosssing" by Jill Paton Walsh to make a wonderful trilogy by our best writers about this crucial time in British history.

Otmoor for Ever (Antelope Series*)Young Jake Tredwell would always remember the day of the Otmoor uprising. The common land of Otmoor is being enclosed by the local rich land-owners as they put up their fences and grow their hedges. His brother Seth is determined to hack his way back to freedom but the militia never sides with the poor. * The Antelope series were intended for children from about six to the age of nine.

Thomas
This is a story of the Civil War and its aftermath, culminating in the tragedy of the Great Plague of 1665. It is also the story of three friends: Thomas, Richard and Richenda who manage to withstand all the differences of background, temperament, loyalties and religious beliefs to remain faithful to each other. Even the jealousy which arises when both Thomas and Richard fall in love with Richenda does not finally destroy it. It is not her choice which brings tragedy to one of them. This novel was placed on the short list for the Carnegie Medal of 1969.

Through the Fire (An Antelope Book)This is the story of the Quakers who were imprisoned in London gaols during the reign of King Charles II. It is a particularly nasty period of oppression that is often covered up by those who extol the so-called virtues of the Restoration of the monarchy. Rachel and Will ride into London with their father to take food to their friends. When the Great Fire of London breaks out they too are trapped.

Kate Rider ("Kate Ryder" in the U.S.A.)In 1646 a young English girl tries to cope with the many pressures, changes and divided loyalties that the continuing Civil War imposes on her family. Hester Burton brings out convincingly the disruptive effects of the long conflict on the lives of an ordinary family. The book draws to its climax during the Siege of Colchester in 1648.

The Henchmans at Home ("The Day that went terribly wrong and other stories" in the U.S.A.)This is a book which is constructed in six inter-linked episodes about the three children in the Henchman family who live in Suffolk during the reign of Queen Victoria. In the first story young Rob runs away in anger on his birthday and then has to face the consequences of his action. In the second 12 year old Ellen has to come to terms with the "fact of life" when her one-time friend Etty abandons her baby. The last story in the book is set at the time of the South African War and finds the more mature Ellen gradually realising how love can unfold from the most unpromising beginning.

The Rebel This is a novel which seems at last partially inspired by events in the life of William Wordsworth at the time of the French Revolution. Catherine Parkin lives with her two brothers Stephen and Josh in the Westmorland town of Camberstock. As orphans they are under the care of their two narrow-minded uncles. Stephen is a passionate lover of freedom and rebels against both the subservient respect paid to local landowners and the country's attitude to the poor. The story traces his adventures in revolutionary France and Catherine's slow journey to independence and to love.

Riders of the Storm In 18th-Century England, a teacher in a slum school is charged with conspiracy and fomenting unrest.

To Ravensrigg In late 18th century England a young girl, in trying to find the identity of her real father, is led to the Liverpool slave trade.

Tim at the Fur Fort (An Antelope Book)
Tim's ambition was to be an explorer like the great David Thompson who had reached the mouth of the Columbia River in 1811. However, most of his time in Canada is spent working over account books as he serves his apprenticeship to the Hudson Bay Company. When disease strikes the lonely outpost of Fort Frederick he has to prove himself by making the most dangerous journey of his life.

A Grenville Goes to Sea (I have no details.)

When Beacons Blazed One sunny day in 1558 Kit Bassett gazed out from his schoolroom window. Outside it looked peaceful enough, yet Kit knew his country was in terrible danger. A sudden change of wind had brought Drake's fleet face to face with the mighty Spanish Armada.

Five August Days (This a children's adventure in East Anglia about which I have no details. )

A letter received in February, 2006.

Dear James,
I wish to thank-you so very much for the excellent information you did on my dear Mum. Shortly after World War 11 Mum wrote a book called "The Reluctant Spy", she used her Maiden name, Hester Wood-Hill. The proceeds from the book helped put food on the table and coal in the shed. I could always tell when Mum had another book on her mind, she would start to cook the meal while still wearing her overcoat and hat. My sisters and I had a marvellous childhood, full of love and support. Dad was very encouraging of Mum's writing career.

Again, thanks very much,
Elizabeth Cloutier.

Blurbs from various editions

Thomas
Richard Holder never forgot his first meeting with Thomas Egerton. It was at Maplehampden, the Egertons' great house by the River Thames, on an autumn day in 1651. Richenda Bradford introduced them, hoping they would become friends. At the time all three of them were seven years old, growing up in an England torn by Civil War and religious strife. At first Richard and Thomas seemed to have nothing in common, but from that riverside meeting sprang the friendship that enveloped tLe three of them. It was no ordinary friendship. It withstood differences of temperament, background, and of religious and political beliefs. It transcended jealousy, even though Thomas and Richard were rivals for Richenda's affections and the time came when she had to choose between them. It spanned years and separations, until the day when the three young people were reunited in London during the Great Plague—a meeting that was to have tragic consequences for one of them.

Castors Away
Set in the early nineteenth century at the time of the Battle of Trafalgar, this story concerns the four children of a Suffolk doctor, who are suddenly jolted from the calm of a country summer by their unexpected and dramatic rescue of a soldier escaping arrest. The story follows Edmund, the eldest of the four, to London, where he studies to be a surgeon, and Tom, the second son, to the terrible dangers and hardships of war at sea. It is their sister Nell, however, who plays the central part, when she realises that she can no longer share in her brothers' activities. She must stay quietly at home in Suffolk, and it is for her that the sailors' cry, 'Castors Away!', heard so often in those days, has a special meaning . . . 'Cast us away ... let us go free!'
. . . Using the two themes, medicine and naval warfare, a story is told with such a multitude of incident, and with the whole knit together so convincingly, that a young reader, once started, is unlikely to want-to put the book down again. The characters are drawn with compelling sincerity and the historical background, convincing in its detail, never dominates either the plot or the characters...

The Henchmans at Home
Set in Victorian England, this collection of six stories is centred on the same characters—Dr. and Mrs. Henchman and their children William, Ellen, and Robert—who live in the small Suffolk town of Rushby, where Dr. Henchman has his practice. The stories span eleven years and spotlight incidents in the children's lives as they grow up. These incidents are sometimes amusing, sometimes moving, and together they make up a family-story full of interest and likeable personalities.

In Spite of All Terror
The Second World War . . . In the autumn of 1939 thousands of schoolchildren were sent away from London to the safety of the country. Among them was Liz Hawtin, who had been living in the East End with her aunt and cousins, where she felt unwanted. For her the evacuation seemed a release, but she soon met difficulties when she found herself in the midst of the Bruton family, so different from her own. She had a hard struggle to overcome these problems and to come to terms with the demands of war.
'. . . the book . . . must be regarded as one of the most outstanding contributions to children's literature of recent years; a book to read and to re-read.'

Time of Trial
'. . . perhaps even for the author of The New Jerusalem the future was not so black. "I have a great belief, Meg, in the common sense of English justice," said her father. "They cannot imprison a man merely for suggesting a way for people to live in greater happiness."
But in the troublous London of 1801 they could. Only a few weeks after this discourse with his daughter, Stephen Pargetcr, bookseller of Holly Lane, was arrested for writing and publishing seditious libel, 'to stir up resentment among the poorer people against the Government'. With her father in prison, and their bookshop pillaged by the mob, Margaret goes to live in humble lodgings on the Suffolk coast, where her life takes an unexpected turn.
'The book excels because all the situations are so vividly portrayed . . . The social evils of the early nineteenth century arc part and parcel of the story. Their presence and ubiquity arc courageously tackled without bias or smugness.'

The Rebel
Set at the end of the eighteenth century, in a period of revolution and social upheaval, this is the story of three orphans—Stephen, Catherine and Josh Parkin—who have been left to the unloving care of their two narrow-minded uncles and their foolish aunt on their uncles' farm in the Westmorland town of Camberstock. Stephen's rebellious refusal to take part in the Centenary Celebrations of 1788 earns his uncles' disapproval and results in a disruption of all their lives. He himself is banished from the farm, until it is time for him to go up to Oxford, while fourteen-year-old Josh, whose ambition is to own a farm, is sent to sea; Catherine, whose whole life and expectations revolve round her brothers, stays on at the farm, alone but for her friend Martha. Meanwhile Stephen's passionate love of freedom and defence of the poor take him to France and the Revolution, where he hopes to see for himself the plight of the French peasants. But his experiences are such that he returns to England a sick and broken man, tormented by failure, guilt and disillusionment. Mrs. Burton's moving story portrays the effect of Stephen's frustrated genius and idealism on the lives of Catherine, Josh and Martha, and describes how he comes to accept a different, more realistic, concept of freedom.Janhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Hello everyone,
I am using a Picoscope 6402c and the Matlab Toolbox. I am little bit confused with the ADC Resolution. In the Datasheets is written that the ADC Resolution is 8 Bit, but the max ADC count is 32512 in Matlab? How is this possilbe? So how can i change the ADC Resolution in Matlab or how can i convert to int8 without information lost (meaning values above 255 dont get lost), that I can store my channel values in an int8 Matrix? It is not possible to use a int8 Pointer because SetDataBuffers only allows int16.
Best regards,

Slashdot | Do Gamers Enjoy Dying in First-Person-Shooters?:
"Brandon Erickson has an interesting post about an experiment on players' emotional reactions to killing and being killed in a first-person shooters (FPS) with a group of students who played James Bond 007: Nightfire while their facial expressions and physiological activity were tracked and recorded moment-to-moment via electrodes and various other monitoring equipment. The study found that "death of the player's own character...appear[s] to increase some aspects of positive emotion." The authors believe this may result from the temporary "relief from engagement" brought about by character death. "Part of this has to do with the intriguing aesthetic question of precisely how the first-person-shooter represents the player after the moment of death," says Clive Thompson. "This sudden switch in camera angle — from first person to third person — is, in essence, a classic out-of-body experience, of exactly the sort people describe in near-death experiences. And much like real-life near-death experiences, it tends to suffuse me with a curiously zen-like feeling." An abstract of the original article, "The psychophysiology of James Bond: Phasic emotional responses to violent video game events" is available on the web."

From South Bend, Indiana, USA:
I am an OT who is working with a third grader who has a diagnosis of 'brittle diabetes'. This young man is demonstrating a lot of anger and is becoming more physically aggressive toward staff and some students. Several team members are saying it is because he is diabetic. Is there a connection between aggression and diabetes? Is there an emotional component? I have worked with several diabetics who's actions were nowhere near aggressive, upset with the limitations perhaps but not stabbing at students, head butting, screaming, etc. Is there any research out there that discusses this?
It sounds like this child needs a referral to a psychologist. Perhaps the diabetes brought out some other latent psychological or behavioral problems. This could happen with any chronic disease.
Yes, there are published studies about these issues. Start with Sweet Kids: How to Balance Diabetes Control & Good Nutrition with Family Peace by Betty Brackenridge & Richard Rubin.
There are also several books available from the American Diabetes Association, including "The Human Side of Diabetes", "Caring for the Diabetic Soul: Restoring Emotional Balance for Yourself and Your Family", "Raising a Child With Diabetes: A Guide for Parents" that will discuss these issues.
Then look up "psychosocial aspects of diabetes" in PubMed for more research information.

CMOS Circuits Manual is a useras guide for CMOS. The book emphasizes the practical aspects of CMOS and provides circuits, tables, and graphs to further relate the fundamentals with the applications. The text first discusses the basic principles and characteristics of the CMOS devices. The succeeding chapters detail the types of CMOS IC, including simple inverter, gate and logic ICs and circuits, and complex counters and decoders. The last chapter presents a miscellaneous collection of two dozen useful CMOS circuits. The book will be useful to researchers and professionals who employ CMOS circuits in their work, such as practical design engineers.All MOSFETs in the 4007UB are enhancementmode devices; Q1, Q3, and Qs are p-channel MOSFETs, and Q2, Q4, and Qo are n-channel MOSFETs.

If you ran a firm making gizmos, wouldn't you want a few actual gizmo-makers on your board of directors?
I mean, let's say that one day talks around the board table focus on — humour me here — "the best way to make gizmos."
Do you think it would be worthwhile to hear from people who had, um, actually made gizmos?
Spoiler alert: My topic today is not gizmos. It's health care in Nova Scotia.
When the Liberals set up the Nova Scotia health authority in 2015 — the body responsible for delivering health-care services provincewide — they decreed that the NSHA's voting members of the board of directors could not include working doctors.
The reason, according to a Department of Health and Wellness spokeswoman, was to avoid potential conflicts of economic interest.
Meanwhile, the rules do permit a retired physician as a voting member or a working physician as a non-voting member.
How many doctors did the Liberals appoint in either of those capacities? Exactly zero.
In fact, only one person named to the NSHA board — Marie McCully Collier, a retired nurse — has direct health-care experience.
The rest of the board includes successful lawyers, retired public servants, business people and other upstanding Nova Scotians. But none of them have a front-line physician's experience.
Is that important? It seems like common sense to have doctors involved in the top-level governance of a health-care organization. What does the evidence say?
As it turns out, possibly the first systematic review of studies on that question over the last decade was published in the medical journal BMJ Open last September.
The article — Medical leadership, a systematic narrative review: do hospitals and health-care organizations perform better when led by doctors? — concluded "there is a modest body of evidence supporting the importance of including doctors in the composition of hospital or organizational governing boards."
Though the review said more study was needed, it "found that evidence supporting the relationship between doctors' board participation and organizational performance is accumulating, with empirical studies from the U.K., Europe and the U.S. all reporting positive associations. This finding is consistent with pre-2005 data and supported by a recent literature review on the topic."
A Nova Scotia health-care solutions paper, put out last July by Dr. Ajantha Jayabarathan, Dr. Robert Martel, Dr. John Ross and former deputy health minister Kevin McNamara, argued "every successful health management jurisdiction around the word has welcomed clinicians into their organizational governance structures."
As examples, they cited the Mayo Clinic, Kaiser Permanente Health Group (the U.S.'s largest not-for-profit health-care system) and Britain's National Health System, all of which have doctors on their boards of directors.
- OPINION: Nova Scotia health-care solutions: a start
- OPINION: Nova Scotia Healthcare Solutions – Governance
So health-care organizations worldwide with doctors on their governance teams seem to do quite well — and arguably better than those without doctors in such roles — delivering health-care services.
Why, then, don't we want doctors as voting members of the NSHA board here? Right, potential conflicts. Funny, all those other organizations with doctors on their boards seem to have figured out how to handle that.
The department spokeswoman says the minister is now reviewing possible additions to the NSHA board. Who knows, maybe he'll include a doctor or two.
Medicine in Nova Scotia is a mess. Health officials, describing their efforts to transform the province's health-care system, have likened it to building a plane while flying it. Maybe it's time to put some doctors in the cockpit.

Unblock Minecraft – Minecraft at School and Work!
Trust and integrity – our two core values. For the past 5 years our experts & users have reviewed hundreds of VPNs. Our reviews are never influenced by the industry. We sometimes earn affiliate commissions, which contribute to our fight for a free internet. Click here to find out more.
Many people want to know how to play Minecraft at school, college, university or at work. Sadly, those places have often got Minecraft restricted on the network. The reason? Most employers and education institutions aren't keen on their staff or alumni playing games instead of completing their work tasks. With a Minecraft VPN service, however, it is possible to get around those frustrating restrictions. How? VPNs allow anybody to spoof their IP address to a remote location. The result is that you too can become one of the many people who successfully get to unblock Minecraft!
A VPN service uses strong military grade encryption to overcome the pesky Minecraft blockade. That means you will be completely secure when you play Minecraft at work or school. As such, your boss or school network administrator won't be able to tell you are playing Minecraft when you shouldn't be – as long as you don't get physically caught in the act, of course!
While we don't want to get anybody in trouble (and certainly don't want to be responsible for anybody losing their job), we are aware that many people around the world are restricted by landlords, schools, and bosses from playing Minecraft – even in their own time! In addition, some people aren't lucky enough to have an Internet connection at home. Those students would love the opportunity to play Minecraft at school – in the library, for example.
With that in mind, we have created this list of the 5 Best VPNs for playing Minecraft from anywhere in the world. To make sure you are secure, we have included only reliable, tested and trusted VPNs that provide strong, military-grade encryption!

- Outstanding encryption
- Excellent VPN software
- Super fast connection speeds for Minecraft
- Awesome customer care
- Servers in 78 countries
- Some connection logs kept for internal use (no usage logs kept)
ExpressVPN is our most recommended VPN for getting Minecraft unblocked. Playing Minecraft at school or at work is often against the rules. For that reason security is essential. ExpressVPN provides the highest levels of security using our recommended encryption protocol (OpenVPN). OpenVPN is strong military grade encryption that will keep you highly private and secure as you spoof your IP address to unblock Minecraft.
ExpressVPN also has servers in 78 countries, and all of the servers on that VPN network are fast – perfect for playing Minecraft. Customer care is top notch, and ExpressVPN will be able to walk you through any problems you might have. The VPN software is available for all popular platforms, and downloads quickly and with ease. In addition, the VPN client software is also very easy to use, which is great.
Although ExpressVPN keep a few connection logs to ensure the service runs smoothly for its subscribers, it does not keep any usage records. This is great for your privacy. We recommend ExpressVPN because it has a fantastic track record of providing privacy for its users! The service also allows you a 30-day money back guarantee so that you can test it out fully.
2nd place
- Incredible security features
- Servers worldwide
- Excellent customer care
- Outstanding VPN software
- Fast connection for Minecraft
- Double encryption may slow you down while gaming
We have placed NordVPN in second for getting Minecraft unblocked. NordVPN is a highly secure VPN provider with a zero logs policy. It is a VPN that prides itself on providing only the very highest levels of security for its subscribers. Features include a killswitch, DNS leak protection, and double encryption. Double encryption can slow you down a little, but OpenVPN (our recommended protocol) will suffice.
Server speeds are excellent throughout the network, though Nord doesn't have quite the speeds of ExpressVPN (or the massive list of servers to choose from). Having said that, NordVPN has many, many servers everywhere that you are likely to need them. For that reason, it is certainly more than good enough for you to play Minecraft at school or work.
The VPN software is truly outstanding, and it is available for all popular platforms. With security and connection speeds accounted for, this VPN is a definite winner when it comes to unblocking Minecraft. A worthy option.
3rd place
- Excellent customer care
- Very fast connections for Minecraft
- Servers in 35 countries
- Strong encryption and security
- Aps for all platforms
- Some connection logs kept (for internal use only).
Buffered ia Hungarian VPN provider that we love here at BestVPN.com. The service provides strong military grade encryption and has a fantastic track record of keeping it's users secure. It has uber-fast servers in 35 countries around the world, perfect for playing Minecraft at school or work. The VPN software is available for all popular platforms and is really intuitive. It also has an awesome feature called port discovery that will allow you to search for open ports and connect to them without the need of a password (in hotel reception areas for instance).
Customer care is also well above average with this VPN, and they can help you to fix any problems you might have. All in all this is a suberb option if you want to play Minecraft at school or work securely.The service also offers a 30-day moneyback guarantee, which means you can test it risk free.
4th place
- Servers in over 60 countries
- Fast connection speeds for Minecraft
- Excellent security and encryption
- Zero logs policy
- Budget price
- Based in US
IPVanish is a US-based VPN that provides excellent security. Despite being in the US, this trusted VPN has a zero logs policy – to make sure you aren't at risk from the likes of the NSA. On top of that, encryption is robust as they provide our recommended protocol, OpenVPN. Servers are located all over the world – great for all your unblocking needs including Minecraft. The servers are also really fast, so you won't have any problem streaming in HD or playing Minecraft.
Finally, we love that this VPN is slightly cheaper than many others, great if you need security and privacy but are on a budget! All in all a great VPN to play Minecraft at school or work.
5th place
- Apps for all platforms
- Strong encryption
In fifth place is VyprVPN. This VPN owns its own infrastructure of servers, which allows it to pump out some of the best connection speeds we have ever recorded. Encryption is the top-notch OpenVPN protocol. The VPN software is outstanding, available for all popular platforms, and easy to use and install. It also allows 3 simultaneously connections. Finally, the provider offers a 3-day free trial to test the service.
Minecraft Facts
Minecraft is the brainchild of Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson. Since it's beta release in 2009 it has sold millions of copies and made Persson one of Forbes' "World's Billionaires".
The sandbox style game allows people to get creative by collecting materials that they can use to build things. The social aspect of the game is also a winner. It allows people to play together on Minecraft servers, where they can form gangs and communities to help each other in their building projects.
In fact, gameplay comes in a variety of shapes and forms – which is one reason for the game's vast popularity. Survival mode, creative mode and adventure mode all offer various different experiences. It is Minecraft's differing gameplay capabilities that make it popular with huge swathes of different people. It is also the reason that it has sold a whopping 106 million copies worldwide.
As a result – Minecraft is the best-selling PC game of all time – and the second most sold video game ever!
Considerations for Unblocking Minecraft with a VPN
Why can't I play Minecraft at school or work?
We understand how addictive Minecraft can be! It is also why it is blocked in so many places! Bosses and teachers know just how immersive Minecraft can be, and how much of your time it can soak up. For this reason, they sometimes ask network administrators to block the Minecraft servers. Hence, you will need a VPN to unblock Minecraft.
How can I overcome the problem?
A VPN is a service designed to not only unblock websites but also to make you secure when you do it. How? VPNs 'spoof' your IP address away from where you are to a remote location.
A VPN also encrypts your data from you to its servers. That means that your employer, school, landlord, ISP or even the government – are unable to easily tell who you are or what you are doing online. The data you create with a VPN installed is just a jumble of indecipherable random characters.
Why security is vital to Unblock Minecraft
If you decide to play Minecraft at school or work, it is essential to be highly secure. The reason? If it could get you fired (or in trouble with your teacher) you are taking a massive risk.
Here at BestVPN.com, we are acutely aware that many of the 800 VPNs available on the market are full of flaws. The vast majority will not allow you to spoof your IP address to a remote location securely. Why not? Some VPNs use substandard and outdated encryption protocols that simply aren't good enough to protect you. These must be avoided at all costs and can cause a great deal of harm and stress.
Which Minecraft VPN should I choose?
Some VPN providers don't follow the simple steps necessary to run the VPN in a secure manner. If the VPN doesn't have suitable security protocols and a strong privacy policy, it is possible that your VPN is putting you at risk. Some VPNs, for example, keep usage logs: These are the logs of where a VPN user has been online, and those that could reveal what you have been doing.
Best VPN for Minecraft – Conclusion
In this article, we have reviewed the 5 best VPNs for unblocking Minecraft in 2016. Unblocking Minecraft in an institution where it is not permitted is risky business. For that reason, we have been very careful only to bring to your attention world-class VPN services.
These trustworthy VPNs are run with subscriber privacy in mind, a fact that is reflected in their policies. As such, none of these VPNs keep usage logs. They also all provide the highest levels of encryption. This guarantees that your data will be safe as you spoof your IP to a remote location to unblock Minecraft. With everything taken care of, all that is left is for you to decide on one of the 5 excellent VPN services above. Your VPN will have Minecraft unblocked in no time.
VPN Minecraft – A Final Warning:
Here at BestVPN.com we pride ourselves on giving impartial advice on VPN services. While we are aware that many people are highly interested in unblocking Minecraft at work or in school, we would like to remind you that it is highly risky. Although a VPN will keep your data secure and allow you to play Minecraft with as much anonymity as is humanly possible, what we can't promise is that your boss won't creep up behind you and catch you. You could always learn some quick key commands to minimise your game window just in case e.g. Windows Button + M.
With that in mind, we would like to remind you that you unblock Minecraft at your own risk. The team here at BestVPN.com takes no responsibility for the loss of employment that may result from playing Minecraft at school or work. You have been warned!

I have a hard time with resolutions for the entire year; those have never worked well for me. (See related post here.) But I have already settled on my fast for Lent.
I love observing Lent. It is a different kind of fasting that Mormons do every first weekend of the month. It is a sustained abstinence from some luxury. It is long enough to reset unwanted patterns of behavior, and there is a great sense of support, of a shared experience, as Christians throughout the world are fasting as well. That camaraderie makes it easier.
In the past, I've given up meats or sweets. In either case, I am choosing to be less wasteful and more thankful. For the last two years, I ate neither. But this year, I want focus on my behavior more than my diet, although I'll likely not eat meat as well. Note: I probably ought to give up everything fried; that would cut out fries and chips which I noticed I ate more during the last Lent, perhaps to compensate for lack of meaty savory things and desserts.
This year I want to not drive my car for all of Lent.
That sounds reasonable, right? We deliberately bought a house close to downtown in a very walkable city. We are less than three miles away from everything we need to get to: work (1 mile), grocery stores (.5 miles, .9 miles, 2 miles), library (1 mile), school (Claire's school is the farthest at about 3 miles and one big hill from our house, Jacob is 1.5 miles), church (2 blocks), restaurants (1 block to the closest, .3 miles to the center of downtown), the Home Depot (seriously, with the home repairs and small renovations, I end up going there about once a week), and the Frontrunner station (about 1 mile).
So why do I even drive the car? I am an American living in a western city. It is culturally ingrained in us out here that cars are how we get around, and pedestrians and bicyclists are nothing more than an inconvenience for which we must occasionally slow down. And I have to admit that I'm lazy. I was doing really well at riding the bike and hauling my five year old and books and groceries around in the trailer. But then I allowed myself to be defeated by goatheads, the lovely little local weeds that produce copious amounts of tire puncturing stickers. The chariot's tires have been flat since Election day.
I really hate patching inner tubes.
But today I'm going to do it. I'll patch up the tires. I'll even fix up the kids' bikes. I think I may also have to get a fender for my bike because it's wet and wintery now, and after one ride in the rain with the subsequent stripe up my freezing cold back, I never want to do that again.
So there is it: my Lent resolution. I will not drive my car. My car will not be driven. I will not bum rides off of others. I will walk, I will ride my bike, and if I want to go farther afield, I will take the train. And my family is coming with me.
What will you do this year? Do you make New Year's Resolution related to your stewardship and use of resources? Or are you like me, preparing for Lent? If you share your goals here, we can follow up in the coming months and encourage each other as we endeavor to do improve ourselves and do good in the world around us.

As children grow up, their lives expand – with friends, school, sports, hobbies and part-time jobs. It's too easy to lose touch. What are they doing? How are they feeling? How are they really feeling?
Getting children, tweens and teens to engage in meaningful conversations isn't always easy. Rare is the kid who eagerly downloads you. (If you're lucky enough to have one of these, soak it in!) Most kids dislike being peppered with questions the minute they get home from school. They're apt to clam up until they've had time to unwind. You can help them transition by offering a warm welcome home, a snack and some space. This is also a smart approach for those kids who need to get their homework done first thing and can't relax until it's finished. In any case, respect their needs.
When your child is in a talking mood, let them begin the conversation if possible, so you can learn what's on their mind. If you need to get the talk flowing, ask a specific question or share something personal from your own day. Then, let them talk. Be a good listener. Don't interrupt, criticize or lecture. If your child brings up a problem, resist the urge to dictate a solution. Instead, brainstorm some ideas together.
Many kids are more talkative while something else is going on: riding in the car, preparing dinner or walking the dog. If your child loves to have their back scratched, their feet rubbed or their nails painted, that's an ideal time to open up a discussion. And for some kids, bedtime is when they crave a heart-to-heart talk.
If there's a proven time and place for meaningful conversations, it's family meals – as long as all phones are banned from the table. You might even start the daily tradition of sharing what "Seattle Mama Doc" Wendy Sue Swanson calls BPOD: best part of the day. (Here are some great conversation-starters.)
If your child approaches you and needs to talk, give them your full attention. They need to know that they are your priority. Honest and meaningful conversations will build your child's self-esteem and self-knowledge, and strengthen your relationship – now and in the future.
It takes children and teens longer than adults to get better from concussions and go back to normal activities. Their brains are still growing and developing, so they need more time to heal. If a child returns to play before the brain heals, any additional bump or blow can cause more damage. This can make the symptoms last longer or cause "second impact syndrome" – a rare but devastating brain injury that happens when the brain has not fully recovered and is injured again. This is why, before returning to sports or other physical activity, children and teens in Washington state must get written approval from a doctor or other licensed healthcare provider trained to evaluate and treat concussions.
Learn about our Seattle Sports Concussion Program.
Being a parent means being consistent. When parents are wishy-washy and bend the rules, it's confusing for kids, who need and crave consistency. So stick to the rules you've made, and be sure that all your child's caregivers do the same.
If you are going to make a special exception to a rule, explain it to your child ahead of time so they understand it's a one-time change. As kids get older and become more responsible, they earn new freedoms and new rules. Be sure they understand the reasons behind these changes.
Also remember that no means no. Once you've said no, you can't give in to begging or tantrums. So think things through before you answer a child's request.
Finally, keep your promises. If you say you'll go to the park after naptime, stick to your word. Only announce it as the plan ahead of time if you're certain you can follow through. Being consistent isn't always easy, but it's better for everyone!

From preschool through high school, parent-teacher conferences are a powerful way to learn more about your child – and to gain insights that go far beyond their academics. For a regular conference, the timeline will be tight and the meeting will be very brief. So plan ahead. Make a short, prioritized list of topics you hope to cover. If one parent can't attend, get their input. And ask your child if there's anything they'd like you to ask about: their answers can be very revealing.
At the conference, let the teacher take the lead. They have their own list and will convey what's most important in the brief time you have. While it may be tough to hear about areas where your child can improve, resist any impulse to be defensive. Listen carefully and take notes for later. When your time is up, respect the schedule and the other parents who are waiting their turn. If you need more time, ask how you can best communicate further, or schedule a follow-up meeting.
After the conference, debrief with your spouse or partner and compare your takeaways. Then at home, talk with your child about what you learned. Start with the positives, touch on areas that need improvement and problem-solve on how to improve, then restate the positives.
Teachers are experts who have special insights into your child. Most teachers wish they had more time and resources to help your child. After your conference, a personal thank-you note from your family will be appreciated more than you can imagine – and will set a wonderful example for your child.

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) and vape pens are devices that mimic tobacco smoking, delivering nicotine in vapor form. Kids can quickly become addicted to nicotine, and e-cigs can deliver dangerously high amounts.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now considers these devices to be tobacco products. So nationwide, it's illegal to sell them to anyone under age 18. Sellers must now verify a buyer's age with photo ID.
This is an important safeguard, because e-cigs had been too easy for kids to buy. But clever kids have always found ways around the law. That's why there's no substitute for vigilant parenting. Be sure to talk with your child about the health risks and consequences.

SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) most often happens between the first and fourth months of life. To reduce the risk, remember the letter B. Cribs should be bare, basic and boring.
Never place pillows, stuffed animals, comforters, bumpers or sleep positioners in an infant's crib. And infants should always be placed on their backs to sleep. If you swaddle your baby, back sleeping is even more crucial, and swaddling should stop when the baby shows signs of being able to roll over, at about 3 months of age. This is because new research shows that swaddled infants may be at higher risk for SIDS when they are placed on – or roll themselves onto – their sides or tummies.

Everyone age 6 months and older needs a flu vaccine every year. It's the best way to reduce the chances that you will get the flu and spread it to others.
Get the vaccine as soon as it's available so you'll be protected when the virus arrives. Because the virus itself varies each year, so does the vaccine. Last year's vaccine will not protect you against this year's virus.
This year, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) are recommending the flu shot only, because the nasal vaccine was not effective the last two flu seasons. If you have any questions about vaccines, ask your child's doctor. Visit the link below for tips on helping your child prepare for a shot.

Girl's dress shirt for Violet's Revels show
Violet has been participating in a homeschoolers singing group called Revels, which she has really enjoyed. Last Tuesday they gave a short recital which was wonderful to watch. She needed a white shirt to wear for the show, and didn't have one. So I whipped one up on Sunday and Monday. Violet was very excited about it: "Dad, look it has cuffs and a collar! So fancy!".

As such, I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Liam and the services of Breeze Development."

In many ways, I ran to Cuenca. Roughly two hours outside of Spain's capital in the Castile-La Mancha region, the small town of my refuge teeters on a rocky ridge. Like a tightrope walker, I tip-topped through this UNESCO World Heritage city, almost as if I wasn't supposed to be here. Then again, I wasn't.
Cuenca was never on my Spanish itinerary, until perhaps by happenstance, we checked into what could have been a minimum-security prison in Madrid. Just off of Puerta del Sol, I lost a little piece of my soul in that Madrid hotel. The accommodations reeked of trash, attracted salty characters and boasted a buzzing system for every door in the building with the intention of promoting safety while achieving the opposite. Something told me it was one of those cases where getting up and leaving seemed like a good idea. As Madrid disappeared from the rearview mirror and Cuenca appeared in the front, I quickly realized travel is filled with new beginnings. You never have to dwell on a husband's bad hotel decision for too long. And so we pressed on to see this city haphazardly hanging on the edge of a cliff.
Built by the Moors as a fortress in the 8th century, Cuenca remains as it were, a medieval fortified city. The Castilians would add royal touches in the 12th century, sprucing up the place with grand buildings like Spain's first Gothic Cathedral. After lazy meandering, the Cathedral appears, basking in a certain light that probably floods heaven on a regular basis. Dominating Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral of Nuestra Señora de Gracia was built on the site of a mosque, as is the case with many churches in Spain. Bearing Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque touches, it is a masterpiece in its own right. The doors might be locked this evening but the main act is always on display.
The Castilians would also be responsible for one of the main reasons why Cuenca caught my attention, the Casas Colgadas. Translating as the Hanging Houses, this small medieval city packs in the punch with a series of homes that appear suspended in air, almost as though that at any moment, they could come cashing down into the gorge.
Once noble quarters, Cuenca's calling cards date back to the 14th century. Their layers of wooden balconies extend in natural fashion from the cliffs supporting them. One of the hanging houses holds the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art where you can see some original elements of the Casas Colgadas.
Viewing Cuenca's main attraction is a feat in itself. We follow the Spanish chatter to what could be our demise, the Puente de San Pablo. Hailing from the 20th century, the bridge crosses the Huécar River, connecting one side of Cuenca with the other. A stone bridge once acted as this connecting point, but I'm told it collapsed. As I make my first step off of the cliff and on to the Puente de San Pablo, I'm hopeful that this reconstruction will hold up better than stone one before it. Seeing as it is composed of wood and iron, I'm skeptical but if little Spanish children can run across this stomach churner with glee, surely I can too.
Every aspect to Cuenca is dramatic, from its houses clinging to a cliff to its exits. A set of stairs invites me up to what appears to be old castle ruins. In essence, the city gives the green light to crawl all over its history, to bask in remarkable views from every angle. As the light begins to fade and after no sleep from my Madrid prison, we head in for the night, most appropriately beneath a perfect stone archway. I wasn't supposed to meet Cuenca and perhaps in turn the spontaneity makes for a sweeter meeting. It isn't Toledo with its convenient proximity to Madrid, but by going a little bit further and taking a bit of a leap, I found myself stuck between two dramatic gorges and a hard place. I ran to Cuenca and left Cuenca dragging my feet.
Have you been to Cuenca, Spain?

1996 -
Below is the text of Mr Major's comments on sport, made during an interview held on Wednesday 24th July 1996.
[Mr Major was asked why he was planning a sports academy].
I think the British nation is a sports loving nation. It likes to see its athletes win, delighted at the silver medal overnight, it would like to see a lot more medals from the Olympic Games. Absolute delight across the country when Tim Henman did so well, when the Test Team win, when the Rugby Team win, with that marvellous soccer win we had against the Dutch just a few weeks ago. It lifts the whole nation, we love sport. I would like our sport to be as good, if not better than any other nation in the world. And the purpose of the British Academy of Sport is to provide elite training, coaching, research into sporting injuries at a level better than you can find anywhere else. And I hope that by developing that excellence at the top it will filter down with the other changes we are making to improve both the quality and the quantity of sport at all levels in this country.
[Mr Major was asked why it had taken so long to get to this point].
We didn't have the lottery. Sports and the arts have always lost out in government over the last 30 years, whomsoever has been in government, to social security, pensions, defence and matters of that sort. So I invented the lottery to provide a guaranteed amount of money for sport, to improve sport, and the arts for that matter, and other issues. So as a result of that we now can look forward to having something like 300 million pounds a year for as far ahead as we can see devoted to sport. That is going to revolutionise sport and it has only happened because I invented, and this government passed, the British lottery. So we now have an opportunity to develop sport in the way we are seeking to do. And one of the developments will be the British Academy, but only one, it is much wider than that of course.
[Mr Major was asked how he could get youngsters into sport given that school playing fields had been sold, and how that talent could be developed].
I think that is a very important part of the sporting strategy, and that is what we are dealing with at the moment. Firstly, as far as selling off playing fields is concerned, that is going to stop because we have made the Sports Council a statutory consultee, they will not permit sports fields to be sold unless there is such a surplus of sporting facilities at a school that it is just unnecessary. So you can expect to see the end of sports fields being sold off, and I am very pleased about that. We have also done a deal with British Coal that will preserve a lot of sporting opportunities, mainly in the north, that otherwise might have gone. That also will be announced this morning.
Of course a good deal of the lottery money will go into sport in schools. Many schools have already applied for lottery money -
