Together we can stop bullying and create safe environments in which children and young people can live, grow, play and learn. Cognita Schools has signed up to eradicate bullying in our schools, working in partnership as an associate member of the Anti-Bullying Alliance (ABA); based at the renowned charity, the National Children's Bureau in London. ABA is a coalition of organisations and individuals working together to stop bullying. ABA coordinates anti-bullying week each November and is the national voice for evidence-based practice in this field. We access specialist training for all our schools, respect difference and welcome diversity. Our schools' anti-bullying policies support the values of ABA. We believe that bullying in any form is wrong and should not be tolerated. It is a behaviour choice and anyone can be encouraged to change their behaviour. We believe that children have the right to feel safe, secure and valued and that creating a safe environment and dealing with bullying is everyone's responsibility. We support a range of positive strategies in our schools to tackle and prevent bullying. We actively challenge the use of humiliation, fear, ridicule and other similar approaches. Our policy is implemented whenever the school is responsible for the conduct and welfare of children. As successful schools, we create an environment that prevents bullying from being a serious problem in the first place. Schools that excel at tackling bullying have created an ethos of good behaviour where pupils treat one another and school staff with respect because they know it is the right way to behave.

When Todd Stansbury learned that Mike Bobinski had resigned from his position as Georgia Tech athletic director this past August, his reaction was something like anguish. Coming back to his alma mater to run its athletic department was a dream job, but he didn't feel it was one he could pursue only one year into his own tenure at Oregon State.
That hurdle was cleared when Tech initiated the conversation. But there was another matter. At that point, his contract with Oregon State had bound him tightly to the school. Were he to leave the school at that point, a little more than a year into a five-year contract, he would owe Oregon State in the neighborhood of $2.2 million.
"It wasn't a moment of panic," Stansbury told the AJC. "I think it really came down to Georgia Tech knowing what my situation was and whether they were even interested in continuing the conversation, and so I think that was really the first step of the conversation, like, Hey, I love my alma mater, but I've got this issue."
As it turned out, Tech president G.P. "Bud" Peterson was still interested in Stansbury, and he was hired as Tech's ninth athletic director in September. The contract and buyout arrangement between the two parties, obtained through an open records request, sends a clear message that both sides are committed to the relationship.

Removing Repeated Pressure Injuries In The Office
Source: Flickr
Recurring Stress Injuries (RSI's) that happen at work are best eliminated at the source; this is the essential goal of occupational health and wellness.
When it comes to repetitive pressure injuries, the prime source of injury is constant repeated and/or static flexion of the fingers and hands in a unidirectional (one way) movement. (i.e. Mouse usage, typing, writing, gripping work tools, and so on) Other elements, such as used force, fixed body position, and the speed of work needing repeated or long-lasting fixed movements are likewise contributing factors in becoming affected with a disabling recurring stress injury.
For that reason the main effort to secure employees from repetitive pressure such as carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, cubital tunnel syndrome, guyon's syndrome and other injuries must concentrate on limiting or "neutralizing" repetitive and static flexion activities that need constant overuse of the flexor muscles of the hand and forearm. If left unchecked, repeated or long-lasting static finger and wrist flexion ultimately results in muscle imbalance and the start of one of the many debilitating repeated stress injuries listed above.
Security against repeated stress injuries can be accomplished through the implementation of workplace procedures that include the following:
· Job/task rotation
· Individual-specific ergonomic work stations
· Quick Breaks
· Extending program
· Workout program
Implementing the work environment procedures listed above is exceptionally crucial in preserving structural integrity and muscle balance of the entire upper extremity. (i.e. Fingers, hands, wrists, lower arms, elbows, upper arms, and shoulder.)
If you are beginning to suffer from a repeated pressure injury at work, make sure to consult your company's employee health director for help in establishing the procedures listed above in order to keep the injury from advancing any even more. Keep in mind – prevention is a lot cheaper than rehab, both physically and financially!
Stay Healthy!

Citadele bank was registered as a joint stock company on 30 June 2010 and commenced its operations on 1 August 2010. Citadele was established as a result of implementation of an EC restructuring plan, which was approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of the government of Latvia in the spring of 2010 and pursuant to which AS Citadele Banka was to take over from AS Parex Banka certain assets and liabilities and other items, i.e. an undertaking. The transfer of undertaking took place on 1 August 2010. Citadele, the Latvian Privatisation Agency (LPA) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) signed an agreement on 30 July 2010, whereby the EBRD took a shareholding of 25 % of share capital plus 1 voting share. 75% minus 1 share was owned by the LPA.
Following a tender process, the Latvian government decided to sell its 75% stake in Citadele to Ripplewood Advisors LLC and an international group of investors. EBRD retained its 25% minus one share stake in Citadele. Privatisation was concluded in April 2015.
Development of the bank
- Euromoney Awards of Excellence - Citadele declared "Central and Eastern Europe's Best Bank Transformation" in Euromoney magazine's annual "Euromoney Awards of Excellence".
- Change of ownership - in April 2015, a consortium of international investors led by New York-based Ripplewood Advisors LLC and its founder Timothy Collins acquired a 75% plus one share stake in Citadele from the Latvian Privatization Agency. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development holds a 25% minus one share stake.
- Supervisory Board joined by experienced shareholders – the newly elected Council consists of the representatives of Ripplewood, EBRD, as well as an independent Member of the Council. They each bring a wealth of experience from different sectors and geographies, and Citadele has been benefitting greatly from their combined insights and acumen.
- EC Restrictions removed - Until privatization closing in April 2015, Citadele was operating under the European Commission Restructuring plan. The plan placed a number of restrictions on Citadele, such as caps on lending and deposit amounts in all Baltic countries, a cap on the capital adequacy ratio, a dividend ban, and other restrictions.
- Rating upgrade - Moody's Investors Service upgraded Citadele bank's long-term deposit ratings to B1 from B2, and changed its long-term outlook for Citadele banka to "positive". Additionally, Moody's upgraded Latvia's sovereign ratings to A3 from Baa1 reflecting continued macroeconomic improvements.
- EUR introduction - On the eve of the New Year, alongside with the accession of Latvia to the Eurozone, Citadele successfully performs switching of switched IT systems for the automatic exchange of Lats to Euros. Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis, Prime Minister of Estonia Andruss Ansip, Minister for Finance of Latvia Andris Vilks and the Prezident of the Bank of Latvia Ilmars Rimsevics withdrew the first Euro banknotes from a Citadele ATM.
- Moody's Investors Service improved Citadele's outlook - In the third quarter of 2013, the international rating agency Moody's Investors Service revised the Citadele Group's outlook from negative to stable, leaving the existing rating of the Citadele Group (B2/NotPrime/E+) unchanged.
- Privatisation process resumed - In July 2013, the Government decided to resume the process of attracting new external investors to Citadele. The international investment bank Société Générale was selected by Latvian Privatisation Agency (LPA) in a tender process to act as its financial advisor. Société Générale would assist the LPA in determining the best model for attracting new investors for the Group during 2014. During this process, Citadele would continue to operate as usual and concentrate on implementing its existing strategies and providing services to Retail, Corporate and Private Capital Management customers.
- Financial journal "EUROMONEY" recognized bank Citadele as the best local bank in Latvia. Citadele Group received in total ten awards of "EUROMONEY"; nine of them for its activities in Latvia and one for Lithuania for having the best clients relations.
- American Express loyalty programme Membership Rewards® launched in Latvia. Citadele was the only cooperation partner of American Express in Latvia entitled to issue American Express payment cards.
- GE Money Bank exited the market - Citadele signed a contract to transfer from GE Money Bank the servicing of accounts, deposits, savings accounts, and credits previously ensured by GE Money Bank for individuals and companies. The transaction also envisaged that the management of GE Money Asset Management funds and the 2nd and 3rd level plans of pensions would be transferred to "Citadele Asset Management".
- Moody's Investors Service increased the outook for Citadele Group from negative to stable, maintaining the rating of Citadele Group - B2/Not Prime/E+.
- Citadele repaid State's Term Deposits and additional Compensation for State Aid - Citadele repaid the last term deposit of 46.94 million Euros to the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Latvia, hence fully repaying all term deposits made by the state totalling 203.7 million Euros. 2011 results allowed Citadele to transfer LVL 3.5m to the State treasury as additional compensation for the use of state aid in line with the commitments given to the European Commission. Accordingly, the 2011 full year results were restated as per the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.
- New professionals joined the bank's management team - the Supervisory Council of Citadele Bank confirmed Guntis Belavskis as Chairman of the Management Board. Santa Purgaile was approved as a Member of the Board.
- Citadele received the highest assessment and recognized as the best managed enterprise in the Baltics in the May 2012 research "State Enterprise Governance in the Baltic States" performed by Baltic Corporate Governance Institute.

If Risk Is Your Friend Check Out This Interest Bearing Opportunity
When it comes to investing in cryptocurrencies, I consider myself pretty conservative.
A lot of this is because I'm fairly new to this exciting world.
I don't feel comfortable going all out in these types of investments because I know I'm not ready to be at that level.
I am dabbling in multiple things but really like the steady returns of products like Bitconnect so far.
A friend of mine showed me something that is like Bitconnect in terms of being paid a daily interest so I figured I'd share with all of you.
What are friends for right!
This investment platform is called Control-Finance and the way they make money is they have a portfolio on Poloniex, BTC-e, bitstamp, bitfinex and many more.
They hold and trade cryptocurrencies and pay out a 1% interest daily.
The more money you lend this company the more you earn and the best part is you don't have to do anything because they do all the selling and buying for you.
Your money is used as capitol for the investment platform and in return you get the daily percentage paid out which you can withdraw daily to a private account.
A Few Perks Similar Sites Don't Have
While this may seem like other investment programs, there are a lot of little perks along the way that make this program stand out.
The first thing I wanted to point out is the minimum deposit for Control-Finance is only ten dollars!
That's right, ten bucks!
I know I've seen a lot of investment programs and have seen anywhere between $100-1000 minimum deposit requirements so I like the fact you don't have to risk a lot to get started.
This allows you to test the waters and you can always add more to your account if you feel like this is a program you want to stick with (or if you want to see if it seems legit.)
Control-Finance has been providing their services internationally since they began.
They are involved with China, Japan, Germany, Malaysia and many other countries who are recognizing cryptocurrencies and block chain technology.
How Is Their Communication?
Control-Finance has plenty of ways for you to communicate with them if you have any questions, and the CEO even has his email on the contact list if you ever want to shoot him an email with any questions you may have.
I haven't done this yet but I like the fact that he is making himself available because I know a lot of other CEO's won't do that.
If you just go to their website they always have someone available to chat in case you have any questions (which I did use and had a fast answer to my questions.)
They also list a phone number along with telegraph, skype, facebook, and twitter as other options for communication.
A Super Affiliate Program
Now the main thing that really sets this company apart is their affiliate program.
If everything goes as planned you should be able to make money using them as an investment platform, but that's not where the earning stops.
They are so confident they can make you money that they encourage you to tell friends by having one of the better affiliate programs I've seen.
Depending on how much you invest into the company, you will be placed in an affiliate tier and can make money by helping your friends make money through them.
One of the cool things Control-Finance offers is you can benefit from the affiliate program without investing any money.
You are eligible for the first tier as soon as you make an account and will be giving an affiliate code.
If someone you refer to the site deposits money you will get 5% commission.
Direct signups will always count as your first tier but if those signups go out and get their own signups, you get paid for them as well.
I wouldn't suggest referring the program to others though, if you are not willing to trust their service yourself.
Multiple Tiers Offered
I know it sounds like a pyramid scam and that is one of the knocks to this company, but if my friend Richard refers me, I'm his first tier and he gets the 5% commission (assuming he doesn't invest himself) and if I refer someone, that becomes Richards second tier and he will get 5% of their deposit as well.
While most people fear this kind of stuff, I've seen multiple companies in different areas use this method and they have been very successful doing so because it gives incentives for other people (like me) to tell others about Control-Finance.
This is a fairly common practice in online poker and daily fantasy sites so I'm not that surprised to see an investment platform offering the same deal since it really boosts the public's interest to make money off commissions.
I encourage you to take a look at some of the affiliate percentages for those who do invest as well because naturally they are a lot better than those who don't.
What Sets Control-Finance Apart?
The one thing that really got me interested in this company is they publish all their reports on their website.
You can see all the trades and moves they made for the week and gain a better understanding to how the company is doing if you want.
This is promising because you can see everything and know exactly how much the company is making.
What Are The Risks?
Now just like anything that deals with cryptocurrencies, there is a risk here too.
The first risk is that Control-Finance is relatively new and they haven't been around that long.
In fact, they have only been public and licensed since September of 2016.
The general public typically has two different approaches with new companies, and it's either A) take a wait and see approach, or B) get in before it's too late.
With their low minimum deposit requirements, I tend to lean on the get in while it's hot approach myself.
I personally feel like the longer you wait the more risk you are taking because it is very possible for this company (just like any other company in this market) to go belly up.
As of now it looks like you are going to have to wait about two and half months to get your money back.
I'm just wired in the way that I'd rather get it in now than wait to start my two and a half month trial down the road if I'm going to try this.
Any Red Flags?
And that leads me to the biggest red flag this company has going for it.
That red flag is you cannot pull out your original deposit once it's made!
This is where Control-Finance is completely different than other investment platforms like Bitconnect.
Again, I'm fairly new to investing and use Bitconnect because it's one of several platforms I'm invested in, but once I hit 120 days in Bitconnect I have the option to pull out my original deposit.
That just isn't the case with Control-Finance.
Once you invest with them, the original investment is gone and you are basically banking on that 1% interest paid to you daily to get your money back and then some hopefully.
From what I've been reading on multiple sites is that while this is risky, there is at least a track record of payments being received daily from multiple people.
So, it looks legit for now, and if you can get through that month and half, you should be golden and everything after that is just income if you so choose it to be.
Or you can reinvest and compound the interest. Just build your account to where you want it to be and receive fatter daily interest payments.
It's all up to you on what you want to accomplish so the sky is the limit if you believe in this company and have an appetite for risk.
I took a little leap of faith and deposited $1000 to start off my account in order to get the bonus interest along with the improved affiliate tier.
They also threw in a $50 bonus to my account that I wasn't even aware they offered!
Here's what I should be earning below:
Check out Control-Finance Here if you are interested! - Affiliate Link Disclosure
Thanks for reading!
We will be posting updates on how the program is going.

You can receive Orthodontic treatment at any age
Wanting orthodontic treatment when you're an adult is perfectly normal. Whether you're in your 2...
An early orthodontic screening enables us to advise you if treatment will be necessary, and if so, determine the best time for your child to be treated. It is recommended that children visit an Orthodontist by age 7.
Most teenagers have the necessary permanent teeth by early adolescence to allow full treatment to be completed. Treatment options for teenagers can include traditional, self ligating, custom braces and even Invisalign Teen!
More adults than ever are deciding to pursue orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment can dramatically improve your smile and overall health. Contact us today for a free consultation and start the journey to a winning smile!
To deliver faster results with the same high quality, we use the new OrthoPulse system. Just one fast and convenient self-treatment session of 10-minutes per day can accelerate orthodontic tooth movement allowing teeth to move faster.
In order to best meet the needs of every individual patient and smile, at Escott Orthodontics we offer a wide variety of orthodontic care solutions. One of our most popular treatment options is Invisalign because of the many benefits it brings to your lifestyle in terms of comfort, appearance, and flexibility.
Orthodontic treatment can truly make a difference in someone's smile and self confidence. Visit our before and after section to see just how we help shape our patient's smiles using state of the art braces or Invisalign.
Both my girls see Dr. Escott and staff and we have been incredibly pleased with our experience there. Dr. Escott and staff run an efficient office and are highly communicative, very warm and incredibly professional. I am grateful for their flexible and accessible appointment times which is particularly important with kids in different schools! I would highly recommend this office!!
This place does amazing work. Dr. Escott is extremely good at what he does. In just 7 ½ months my teeth have become perfect. And I now have a perfect smile just in time for my wedding. I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work.
This is the best place to get orthodontic treatment! The office is very clean and the staff is friendly. The complimentary coffee and cell phone charging station is pretty neat! Dr. Escott has a lot of experience in the field and is a really nice person. Since day one I knew I was in good hands. I'd recommend this place to all of my friends and family. Oh, and the payment options are adjustable!
The feeling of being put to ease with the ability to communicate with the doctor, given options all in my best interest not his, he stayed in the consult (by the way there wasn't a charge) until he was sure I hadn't any more questions.
I can't imagine going ANYWHERE else than to College Park Ortho. We moved to Lake Nona a year ago and I happily drive all the way back to come see Dr. Escott and the amazing staff here to take care of my daughter's braces. It's the doctor appointment we ACTUALLY look forward to!!
Dr. Escott and staff make the patient experience with treatment comfortable. They're knowledgeable and helpful in every way from the moment you walk in the door you're greeted with a smile to the moment you sit in the treatment area. I would highly recommend College Park Orthodontics to anyone seeking that perfect smile!
Dr. Escott and staff are terrific with My son and his treatment is going well. Everyone is caring and works with his needs as a young musician and orthodontic patient!
Everyone is so incredibly nice and personable. They are always ready for us when we arrive and our appointments are quick and efficient. Most importantly, my son has a beautiful smile which I hope to see more of now! Thank you Escott Orthodontics!
I have been coming to Escott Orthodontics for a while and the experience has been wonderful. They are always considerate of appointment timing and give several options and why certain options would be better choices for your teeth. My teeth look fantastic and I would highly recommend to anyone in need.

Taking part in a congress whose delegates are actually the very people you deal with when you associations organise yours is always eye-opening. And when that congress takes place in a destination that's reinventing itself – and whose congress centre is part of that reinvention – you clearly understand how associations, venues and destinations can better work together to make the most of a conference.
Words Rémi Dévé
AIPC, the international association of congress centres, represents a global network of over 185 centres in 59 countries with the active involvement of more than 900 management-level professionals worldwide. It encourages excellence in convention centre management, based on the diverse experience and expertise of its international representation. To do so, it is engaging in a variety of educational, research, networking and standards programs. Its Annual Congress is part of those efforts to bring excellence in all areas of centre management: 2017 saw more than 150 delegates converge to Sydney and its international convention centre to tackle the very broad theme of Transformation!
Competition and adaptation are the two top challenges facing centres worldwide today, and for most venues that means applying new models and refreshing established ones in a transformation process that involves both the destination and the centre itself. At the same time, this must be linked to the broader strategies and approaches of the city and country in which centres operate, in order to ensure consistency with overall destination priorities.
In this regard, it made sense for the AIPC Annual Congress to kickstart with a session on how cities that want to play a role on the world scene – like Sydney does – must have all their stakeholders, including convention centres, work together to achieve the same unified vision and achieve growth. This way, association events can be regarded as partaking of this growth. Sydney, a recognized destination, indeed chose to reconfigure itself based on a new vision for its economic future, based on a range of perspectives that re-imagined the role of the new convention centre in the context of economic sector advancement, talent attraction and acquisition, academic leadership and an image consistent with all these goals.
As Michael Rose, Chairman of the Committee for Sydney, an independent think tank and champion for the whole of the city, pointed out: « Convention centres are a platform for success in the business events economy, has to play a role of a facilitator, and sometimes even of an accelerator, of knowledge and is hence a crucial partner in the way a city thinks about itself. »
Of course, I was particularly interested in a session called 'Client Perspective'. After all, how associations and congress venues can work better together? What's the overall experience of clients when it comes to convention centres around the world? Jan Tonkin, Managing Director of the Conference Company, which, among other things, offer convention services to associations, and Sven Bossu, Head of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), who organises Sibos, the only global conference on financial services out there, shared their perspectives on change and evolution in the industry.
Jan Tonkin explained how key client groups are re-shaping event formats, centre expectations and traditional business practices. She summarised her experience this way: « Clients – including associations – and centres alike must demonstrate their open-mindedness, flexibility and forward-thinkingness. The trend is to experiment with meeting environments, designing 'nooks and crannies' possibilities or better interactive learning experiences. Security concerns are also dramatically on the rise, and collaborative planning in the matter is absolutely key. »
Sven Bossu explained: « Our last conference, which took place in Geneva, was completely reshaped. After having around 13 forums the previous year, we restructured and reformed the programme into four streams. Sibos is all about financial compliance, all about anti-money laundering, and all about cybersecurity, amongst other things. The goal is to bring people together and make them think about how to solve common challenges and that is what we've always tried to do with an event like ours. If convention centres understand what we want to achieve and they can be part of it, then it's win-win situation. »

There are many different styles of hearing aids and it is critical to talk with your with your audiologist regarding which style will provide the most benefit for your hearing loss, listening needs and lifestyle. Not all styles provide the same features and benefits nor will they fit all hearing losses.
NANO/CIC/MC: Completely-in-the-canal or mini-canal hearing aids are molded to fit inside your ear canal and can improve mild to moderate hearing losses. This type of hearing aid is the least noticeable of the in the ear styles and is less likely to pick up wind noise and is easy to use with a cell phone or a home telephone. These units use small batteries (which typically provide up to 80 hours of use, 4-5 days) and will not contain features such as a volume controls, directional microphone or blue tooth technologies.
ITC: In-The-Canal-hearing aids are custom molded and fit partiallyin the ear canal but not as deeply as the smaller cic/mc. This style of hearing aid can improve mild to moderately-severe hearing losses, is less visible in the ear, is easy to use with a telephone, has directional microphones and can have Bluetooth wireless technology as well as a programming button. This hearing aid depending on your ear size, will either use the size 10 battery (80 hours) or a size 312 battery (140-180 hours, 10-14 days).
HS/LP: The half shell/low profile is a larger version of the in-the-canal hearing aid and is custom molded to your ear and fills the lower portion of the bowl-shaped area of your outer ear. This style is appropriate for mild to moderately-severe hearing loss, is easier to handle than the smaller hearing aids, and also includes features such as directional microphones, volume controls, programming buttons and Bluetooth wireless technology. This hearing aid typically uses the size 312 battery. (160-180 hours, 10-14 days)
BEHIND THE EAR/ OPEN FIT / RITE: Today's behind the ear hearing aids are very small devices which rest behind your ear and carry sound to your ear either through the use of a custom mold or through a small wire to a tiny dome or speaker in the ear canal. The OPEN FIT or RITE style leaves the ear canal relatively open providing a very natural sound quality to your own voice. Originally designed for high frequency hearing losses with advances in technology, they can now fit mild to severe hearing losses as well as have all the very best in features. These hearing aids typically use a size 312 battery but some do use the larger size 13 battery.

A Fit Body Experience, Health and Fitness Requirements Travel Insurance Equipment Needed (Footwear, Clothing, Miscellaneous, Optional, Toiletries, Personal Items) Trip Costs Include Trip Cost Does Not Include Gratuities
A Fit Body
….and with Werner's help you can do it! Just remember, his 100% success rate on the May 2010 trek when 40 people started out and 40 people made it to Base Camp (an unheard of record in the trekking community).
"Werner, everything you did was first class, timely, comprehensive & informative". –Philip K. AZ
Experience, Health & Fitness Requirements
Physical fitness will add significantly to your enjoyment of this trip (and your life!). From this posting we have 4 months to get ready, which is ample time if you take your preparation seriously (clearly, this also places a bit of urgency on your registration and getting started on a fitness regime). We will be walking on the trail most days between 4 and 7 hours. As always, hiking/camping experience is an advantage, yet absolutely not necessary. Although the trek (or climb to Mt. Everest Base Camp) is non technical it is rated as Medium to Hard because of the altitude and the length of some of the days.
The best way to get fit for this trek is to walk on undulating ground, with a light back-pack (start with 15/20 minutes/day and work up to 45m.). Add some upper body strength, back and stomach exercises and you will be ready. Indoors, stair climbing is excellent, as are walking on a treadmill (on and incline – caution, don't hold onto the support bars since this negates the purpose of the incline) and/or training on a Stairmaster or Step Mill. The intent is to get your heart rate up and be reasonably comfortable for about ½ hour (and preferably ¾ to 1 hour) at 75-85% of max. Work up to exersing in "the zone"…where your speaking is choppy due to slight breathlessness. If you are interested in a core-strength exercise program check with your physical trainer and/or let Werner know. Get fit and your body will love you for the effort by feeling great, having more energy and sleeping better.
Late starters, please speak to Werner for suggestions on a quick get-fit tune-up.
If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, you must let us know the details at registration. We also recommend you consult your doctor regarding medical concerns the trip may raise, plus any vaccinations (s)he suggests…non are mandetory. Remember: Medical and evacuation insurance is a must (see below).
Travel Insurance
A condition of you trekking with us is you must be fully insured, including air rescue services – it is your choice whether to take out trip cancellation insurance. Make sure your personal and air rescue insurance policy does not have special exclusions related to adventure travel. We must know, definitively and well before our departure that this insurance has been obtained.
Equipment Needed
Having the right clothing and equipment is important to your comfort and enjoyment of the trek.
Foot Wear
Good fitting trekking boots (make sure they are worn in and comfortable before coming to Nepal – this is not a time to get blisters)
Woollen socks
Lighter socks
Down or warm ski jacket
Insulated pants
Wind pants
Thermal underwear

Lip tretment (SP minus 30-45)

Backpack, duffel bag or hockey bag for porter to carry (no wheels)

Your welcome. This way of reporting domains is. only AFTER the 30th days is up
This is the problem. While they will check for a connection between the whois and the CH after 30 days, there usually isn't an obvious connection. 99% of the time when I check, it's a private registration, so there's no way to know. What SH won't do after 30 days is contact the CH to ask them if they registered the name. IMO, if the contest is still ongoing-- a winner hasn't been declared-- they should. The 30 day rule should be 30 days after the contest is closed, not 30 days after the name is submitted.
I agree with this completely. I guess instead of saying I wish we could report until a contest is closed, I should have said I wish they would follow up with the CH until a contest is closed. Thank you @Therold for stating the problem more succinctly.
@Therold, .................Touche.
Hey @Grant and @Darpan Thatnks so much for adding the mass delete checkboxes on the watchlist! That will help a lot to keep from having to go back and forth all the time! Appreciate it! I love time-savers!
I also loving the little trophy icon next to entries we won with
Me too! It sure makes it easier to remember your wins so you don't accidently try to resubmit something.Great tool,SH!
Now, if only the powers that be (a/k/a/ @Dan or @Grant ) could fix the dreaded back button...all would be right in squadhelp land. When I'm in my watch list and look into a particular contest, when I hit the backbutton it would be lovely if it stayed in the watch list and not jump back to active contest main page
Thank you! The back button is fixed!!!!!!
My suggestion..if a person makes the Leaderboard,but doesn't have high enough "percentages" to do early entries..(because many times very talented creatives have a style that is creative and not as "mainstream"..so even though they win lots of contests..their CH ratings don't always reflect that..)..wouldn't it make sense to allow those creatives early entries as part of their Leaderboard award?
Getting on the Leaderboard is a tough thing..and proves you are winning contests,and CH's like your names enough to choose them..so wouldn't it follow that those creatives deserve to also get the perk of early entries? Thanks.
Pls @Grant @Darpan .... see to this ...its really slowing down my momentum and am sure many other Creatives ...if yall check my total points right now you wont be impressed at all ....twill be good if u can change the rule a little ....e.g maybe if a creative's Ch rating is not up to 80%, he or she shouldnt be able to submit more than 2 entries in the first 3 hours of the contest, still better than having to empty out all points everytime just to submit entries and also gives Ch's in haste opportunity to see more great entries quickly.
Is there a way to add the emojis from
In between the $100 and the heart icon would be a great area if they are placed horizontally.
This information would save us time when deciding which contests to enter.
Yeah and why you're at it go ahead and put the last time they were active too 😉 Nothing makes me run faster than a CH that was active 2 days ago.
@grant would it be possible to include on the right track ratings in what is shown on our watchlist? Right now, we can only see the loves and likes when viewing the watchlist. (Maybe elsewhere, too, but it is most important to me on my watchlist). The reason I ask is because it would help me to visually recognize why a contest is on my watchlist. I put them there when I have a chance of winning and sometimes that means OTRT is enough.
Also, how often do you guys read this string? I know you are very busy so I am wondering if it is better to start a new topic or post ideas here?
@Commulinks - I will look into this suggestion.
I try to look at all new posts in the forum once a day--Monday through Friday. It is best to post in this thread. This helps us keep everything organized.
@Commulinks - We have added your suggestion to our queue. It may take some time, as we have some larger projects in development now.
Thank you very much for doing that.
Could SH add an icon to contests to show when it is Co-managed by SH? Something that would by eye-catching would be great. I ask because I don't tend to participate in non-guaranteed contests unless SH is co-managing. It would be nice if I didn't have to open it to find out. Also, I noticed a contest that SH was co-managing but it was not revealed in message. I didn't know until I got a private comment.
Thanks for considering.
All contests managed by Squadhelp should have the comment. Any contest that does not have the public comment, "This contest is co-managed by Squadhelp." is due to an oversight on our end. We will look over all open Managed Contest to make sure they have the proper messaging. Also, almost all SH Managed contests will be guaranteed, as we strongly encourage guaranteed contests.
@Grant Can you explain again why SH still has nonguaranteed contests?

To the Editor:
The HEADLINE in the Belleville News Democrat today (March 30) says it all—Proposed Cuts "Going to Hurt."
The story details how the State of Illinois is cutting local government's share of the state income tax in half in order to balance the state fiscal crisis created by decades of Democrat Governors who only knew how to tax and spend.
What does this mean to O'Fallon residents? It means the city will be faced with their own budget cuts or raising taxes to offset these cuts by the State of Illinois. This is why residents need to turn out Tuesday, April 7, to vote YES TWICE on the referendums that ask if the city of O'Fallon should consider a lease of the operations of the water system.
This lease could raise over $50 million in non-tax revenue to help pay for needed improvements to our city. Currently the money in our water bills cannot be used for anything other than the operations of the water system. A lease would allow the city to use funds generated for critical projects to the city. This may be very important as the state of Illinois cuts our share of the Illinois income tax.
The alternative will be increased taxes. The city has already stated that property taxes could be increased as much as $395 a year on a house worth $150,000 or our sales tax could increase 25 percent in order to raise the necessary funds to pay for infrastructure improvements. Now with the state cutting funds to local governments, those taxes could increase.
Why take the risk? O'Fallon should be looking at all ways to raise non-tax revenue to keep our city running. A lease would provide new money and the city still retains ownership of the system, which means it controls rates and quality of service. Don't risk more taxes O'Fallon—vote YES twice April 7.

We are -for better or for worse- in the midst of the Christmas season.
Although the origins of Christmas share the origin of Christianity, a major world religion, I won't get into a discussion of world religions here due to the complexities and the overt possibility I may get something wrong, offending someone.
For all intents and purposes, it's a giant birthday party that has been ongoing for over 2000 years. Of course, it's a tradition to give gifts at a birthday party, so we give gifts to each other and have our own parties.
Ah, Christmas. Does it bring to mind an image of families reuniting and gathering around a beautifully lit tree, listening to carols, exchanging gifts and basking in togetherness with the smell of turkey in the oven, with kids laughing and pets playing with the wrapping? Or instead, insane hordes of shoppers scrambling through stores, squabbling over a certain toy, and yelling at the tired store associates because it's not in stock?
I suppose the latter ultimately leads to the former but the money mongering retail empires see Christmas as nothing more than a huge source of profit for them. Indeed, the end result can be a child's happiness, but do these corporations have to slam it down our throats with slogans such as "THERE ARE x SHOPPING DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!"
People are blitzed by an onslaught of advertising campaigns and pressured to spend wads of cash and blow their credit card limit while somewhere executives and board directors in suits are counting cash and dreaming up new ways to lure customers in and make more money.
Some big retail stores in Canada even have their doors open for 24 hours for the Christmas season. I find this ridiculous and unnecessary. Who will be out shopping at 2am in the morning? Go to bed, b'y. The store will be open during normal business hours - in the day. I wish both the hard-working day staff and night crew of a particular store (you know who you are) season's greetings.
And a merry Christmas to the rest of my dear readers. I'll be in Newfoundland for Christmas week. It's been over two years since I've been on home soil and smelled the salty sea air, so this will be a special one indeed. For my fellow Newfoundlanders - particularly some close friends of mine here in Lloydminster - who must stay here for the holiday season, I wish you a warm and wonderful Christmas.
Thanks for reading and I hope to continue this series in 2008!
Setting course for Newfoundland. Warp speed, engage.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will remain the favorites in the Eastern Conference but another rival could be on their way to becoming an elite team in the conference with some great moves in the 2016 offseason.
The Indiana Pacers have been very active this summer and have rebuilt their team to being one of the top contenders in the East. NBA rumors mainly surrounded Kevin Durant and other top free agents but the Pacers were able to nab some key free agents, as noted by Moke Hamilton of the Basketball Insiders.
"With newly installed head coach Nate McMillan calling the shots for the Pacers, there are a bevy of unknowns in Indianapolis," Hamilton wrote. "But even still, it's difficult to imagine them not reemerging as a power in the Eastern Conference."

Indiana also upgraded their starting point guard by acquiring Jeff Teague in a three-way deal that involved the Atlanta Hawks and Utah Jazz. The Pacers also signed Al Jefferson to a three-year deal worth $30 million.
Along with franchise player Paul George, Teague, Young and Jefferson will be among the key players for the Pacers next season plus holdovers like Monta Ellis, Rodney Stuckey and Myles Turner.
The Indiana Pacers were not involved in many big NBA rumors this offseason but they still got starters that can play a big factor for them in trying to become of the East's elite teams next sesason.
The Cavaliers remain the top of the East even in the offseason. Other teams like the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons have improved their rosters and teams like the Toronto Raptors, Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks are expected to be playoff contenders.

Love of Extremes
You know you're in for a wild ride, when a music festival's homepage reads 'Mark our words: this is not for the weak-hearted'. This message isn't part of a 'shockvertising' campaign because at this two-day event you can expect the BPM (beats per minute) count to reach well into the 200s. Being staged near Baga beach, the Hardcore: Invasion festival will bring the signature distorted, atonal beats and pounding basslines of hardcore—a genre of electronic music that evolved (from hardtechno) during the early 90s in Netherlands. Besides options to camp, participate in mudfights, enter beer-chugging contests, partake in UV-paint parties and go zip-lining, there's music from world-renowned artistes like Radical Redemption (Joey van Ingen), Theo Gobensen (Gibson Teo), Miss K8 (Kateryna Kremko) and Angerfist (Danny Masseling).
Meet the invaders
Though India's hardcore scene is in its nascent stage, dance music enthusiasts have expressed interest in this intense genre of music. "This is one of the major reasons why I headed here in 2013, for a three-city tour. The cool thing about India is the enthusiasm of the crowd. They really appreciate you being there and know almost every tune that you drop, which makes it an excellent experience," shares Angerfist, who's currently on a world tour to promote his latest chart-topping album, Raise & Revolt. If you were in Goa for Sunburn and Supersonic and decided to extend your vacation, then this festival is exactly what you are looking for, as Dutch artiste Ingen claims that it is going to be the "sickest party of 2016"—primarily because of the perfect venue (by the beach), and hard and pure new music. So what can party-goers expect to hear? "I'm going to play some unreleased tracks and will definitely drop my hardstyle remix of Above & Beyond's classic tune Satellite," explains Teo, the Singapore-based hardstyle DJ.
January 8-9. Tickets from Rs 1,000.

Girl Power
After conquering the dancefloors of major global hardcore festivals like Dominator, Syndicate and Defqon.1, Miss K8 is making her Indian debut in Goa. "Indian dance music fans have lots of energy and are up for dancing all night long. Hardcore: Invasion is going to create an unforgettable atmosphere and may possibly be the reason for future hardcore events in India," shares Kiev-based Kremko, who's one of few female artistes ranked amongst Top 100 DJs of 2015 by DJ Mag.

The Slinky Cool of Earl King
His '60s song, "Trick Bag," oozes with New Orleans funk.
In his hip masterpiece, "Trick Bag,"* from the early 1960s, he pulls up head and shoulders with all the Kings, Albert, B.B and Freddy while barely playing a lick. Barely, I say, because the whole thing is based on a slick little half-step chord thing that might qualify as a lick. What slays me every time I hear this song is the thing I hear in all of Allen Toussaint's early work — a funny and credible take on the eternal search for a little affection and the battle between the sexes. In lyrics every bit as clever as anything Lieber and Stoller wrote for the Coasters, he spins a tale of sexual frustration, trouble with the in-laws and infidelity over the backyard fence. It's a gem.
Twelve o'clock at night, you walk out of door
You told me, baby, you was going to the drugstore
But-a in my mind I knew you was lyin'
The drugstore close at a quarter to nine
I said, saw you kissin' Willie across the fence
I heard you tellin' Willie I don't have no sense
The way you been actin' is such a drag
You done put me in a trick-bag
When-a I come home, you start an argument
Just to keep me from askin' where my food done went
Walk in the front door, I hear the back door slam
Peep out my window, somebody's takin' on a lam
We had a fight, then you got mad
Got on the telephone, call your mom and dad
They came a-runnin down with bats in their hands
"Don't you hit her no more, you understand?"
You git me wrong, but I know I'm right
It wasn't I that started the fight
"She's my daughter and I'm her paw
"You ain't nothing, a-but a son-in-law"
© Earl King
I had to change all the first person pronouns from "i" to I. There should be an app. Anyway, it's significant because I think this lady has somehow lower-cased him. Ouch! The litany of complaints is long, mostly centered around Willie and the intruding in-laws. Some bold moves are going down, like a trip to the drug store a few hours after it closes. And how about Paw? He definitely gets the best line, "You ain't nothing, a-but a son-in-law." (Most likely Benny Spellman, familiar to many for singing the bass part on "Mother In-Law.")
The Urban Dictionary defines Trick Bag:
- A situation which can lead to a disastrous outcome, normally initiated by someone who dislikes you.
- A scheme, manipulation, or situation that seemed legitimate, honest and/or innocent, at first. Usually referred to at time when it may or may not be too late to avoid the full consequences and/or embarrassment.
There are a couple more variants of these definitions, but you get the idea. Not only is trick bag a sad sack to be caught in, it also illustrates one of things I like so much about our country; the endless richness of our language. If you keep your ears open and have the skills, you might get lucky and write a hit!
The secret of funk is not the notes. but the spaces around them. You can't do a high-wire act in a crowd. In NOLA at that time drummers were boiling it down to the bare minimum. It eventually turned into a fetish for playing just one drum or cymbal at a time. The master, Ziggy Modeliste of The Meters, would take that all the way to bank, but you can already hear it developing on this track with a guy named Bob French. He's a spaceman.
South of New Orleans, the Mississippi River splays out in a hundred directions before flowing out into international waters. But before that, just south of Pontchartrain, it has already left the South. Going to New Orleans is like leaving the country. You have a mixture of everyone and everything you might find upstream, with cajuns who came all the way from Nova Scotia! The town is bent along a crooked river that's better than any straight one I can think of. It's mixed up and will probably never be figured out. But with a little luck and some serious attention to global warming, it will always be there churning out idiosyncratic home-grown geniuses like Earl King.
* My apologies for the degraded audio. Every one I listened to featured an irritating noise in the first verse. How can it be that no one has a clean copy?
