How To Keep Your Sanity As A Solopreneur
A native San Franciscan, Michele Lando is a Certified Professional Resume Writer and founder of writestylesonline.com. She has a passion for helping others present the best version of themselves, both on paper and in person, and works to polish individuals' application package and personal style. Aiming to help create a perfect personal branding package, Write Styles presents tips to enhance your resume, professional appearance, and boost your confidence.
Check out her previous post for SIMPLY here.
Typically we talk about entrepreneurs and how to start a company from the ground up, but this information often focuses on running a company with other people. What we often forget to talk about is what it's like to be a solopreneur and how to keep your sanity as a solopreneur.
I've now used the term "solopreneur" a few times, but what does the term really mean? Urban dictionary defines a solopreneur as an entrepreneur who works alone, "solo," running their business single-handedly.
Hello, that's what I am! It's nice to meet you.
While working for yourself is often glorified, there are aspects that can make it difficult depending on your personality and what industry you're in. Above all, it's extremely important to keep your sanity and focus on listening to what you need as a person and as a business owner.
Here are 5 tips that work for me:
1. Get Dressed
Just do it. People often daydream about working from home in pajamas, but that doesn't provide the most motivational work environment. Don't roll out of bed and start working. Instead, get up, get ready for your day, and get dressed. Maybe you don't wear a suit or dress shirt, but make sure that you do indeed have real clothes on. Changing your clothes will get you in "work mode" and minimize the temptation to stay in bed.
SHOP Work-At-Home Clothes:
2. Get Out Of The House
If you're someone who works from home, it's key to get out of the house at least once a day. I try to hit a spin class, run errands during "lunch time," or at the very least, take my dog for a walk. Sitting in front of a computer all day isn't good for you regardless of the environment, but working from home makes it that much more difficult. Lack of scenery change can get old really fast.
I happen to work with people and am in a client facing role, so I don't feel isolated. However, if you're someone without much person-to-person interaction, getting out of the house to simply see and/or talk to people can make a huge difference in your sanity. Believe it or not, your pet is not the most ideal conversationalist.
3. Create A Motivational Workspace
Working from home can be great when you love the home you've created, yet regardless of how comforting you've made the overall space, this doesn't always equate to a motivational work environment. Instead, do your best to create a small space for yourself where you can focus on work. Maybe it's full home office or just a desk in your living room, but wherever it is, decorate it in a way that motivates you to work hard.
Part of creating a motivational workspace is decorating it with things that remind you why you work so hard and why you do what you do. These things can be pictures of friends or loved ones, motivational quotes, or even pictures of a place you eventually want to visit or move to. Whatever sparks your work ethic and creativity is what should be on your wall or desk. Make this space perfect for you! The more you enjoy your workspace, the more you will enjoy your work.
Shop Desk Accessories:
4. Join A Club, Networking Society, Or Group
There are some great networking events out there where you can connect with other like-minded individuals (like SIMPLY events!). It can be really refreshing to meet people on the same page as you. Trust me, it's like a breath of fresh air when you finally meet someone in the same boat, and you're like, "Wow, you get it!"
Being a solopreneur is great, but it can get hard when people either don't understand what you do or don't relate to your day-to-day life. Meeting people who can relate makes a big difference. It can help you establish industry connections and also cultivate real friendships. There's nothing like having someone to bounce ideas off of or tell you that you're not going crazy.
Aside from industry events, think about starting a book club. It's not something I saw myself doing, but joining a book club has been great for me! It holds me accountable, ensures that I read, and it gives me a fun monthly outing. As solopreneurs, we often find ourselves completely immersed in work, so giving yourself a break from it to read a book and interact with friends is really important.
5. Remember That Nothing Is Life-Altering
Regardless of how important it may seem, waiting an extra hour or day to send an email, not answering a pestering client after business hours, or getting a blog post up late isn't the end of the world. I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts the other day, and they talked a lot about this concept and how we make ourselves think that things are more important than they are.
They're not. Yes, money makes the world go 'round, and business is important, but at the end of the day, focus on what really matters: Friends, family, health, and happiness. If those things don't come first in your life, it's time to reevaluate.
Being a solopreneur is fun, challenging, and totally worth it!

Hit The North Festival: O2 Academy Newcastle
The Horrors, Marmozets, British Sea Power and Tom Grennan are among the artists unveiled for Hit The North Festival 2018. The event, now in its second year, will return once again taking in 15 venues in the city centre.
As well as new material, The Horrors bring with them hits such as 'Still Life' and 'Sea Within A Sea' from the head of the hype that surrounded them in the early 2000's. Always guaranteed to inject a level of weird into proceedings, The Horrors dark silhouettes can be found delivering daggers of fragmented sound late night at Hit The North this year.
Also topping the bill are alternative rockers, Marmozets, who return to the North East after a stellar sell-out show at Riverside, Newcastle in early 2018. Marmozets have seen some rough times, but they've battled against the hardships as a family to come out on the other side one of the UK alternative scene's brightest hopes.
Bedford born Tom Grennan, makes his triumphant return to Hit The North Festival after an extremely successful year which sees him rise even further up the bill. The signer-songwriter is due to release his first full-length album in May this year and has so far teased fans with new material in 'Sober' which deals with his relationship with alcohol. With his March tour dates almost completely sold out, Tom Grennan is on a non-stop rocket to the top.
There's plenty of fresh faces joining the ranks with a diverse mix of genres and backgrounds making up 2018's first wave of acts. Charming story teller, Will Heard brings his unique blend of blues, folk, funk and soul; Anteros provide bittersweet dream-pop; Bath indie-rockers, Blaenavon cause a stir with favourites from 2017's debut That's Your Lot; and rising hip-hop multi-instrumentalist, Dylan Cartlidge, brings smooth baselines, quick fire lyrics, and old-school hip hop beats.
The focus for Hit the North is on new music, whether that's from established bands with new releases, or from brand new artists just stepping out into the world. This will be the second edition of the festival which runs from 4th - 6th May across 15 Newcastle venues. It will feature over 120 artists.

The 2016 Brocher Summer Academy in Population-Level Bioethics is open for applications. This year's session, on the ethics of randomized trials in development economics and health policy, will take place in the beautiful Brocher Villa on Lake Geneva in Switzerland, between 20-24 June 2016. We would be grateful to you for referring suitable candidates. The deadline for applications is March 11, 2016.
This Summer Academy brings together leading experts in ethics, economics and the health sciences to discuss an important ethical issue with immediate implications for assessing the impact of our interventions for economic development and health systems design. The rapid acceptance of randomized trials as a source of evidence in development economics and health policy has been accompanied by debates over their evidentiary value and, thus far less openly, their ethics. The ethical issues they raise have played a role – often unacknowledged – in decisions on whether and how they should be carried out. For example, Prof. Jeff Sachs replied to critics who faulted his "Millennium Villages" project for lacking controls that he had been advised that this would have been unethical. As randomized trials in development economics and health policy research increase in prominence, ethical questions should be sorted out, sooner rather than later—before ethical abuses, or unnecessary regulation, take hold.
Participants will have a unique opportunity to interact closely with our distinguished speakers, such as this year's Nobel Prize winner in Economics Angus Deaton, Econometrics text book author Josh Angrist, President of the World Medical Association Michael Marmot, World Bank economist Adam Wagstaff, and leading philosophers including Nancy Cartwright.
We would very much appreciate if this information were circulated to excellent potential participants, from related academic disciplines and areas of practice. Candidates from developing countries are especially welcome. Some leaders of population-level bioethics started their careers in previous sessions of the Summer Academy. Please be sure to email Anders Huitfeldt <firstname.lastname@example.com> recommended candidates' names: your endorsement will ensure that their applications receive close attention. If you yourself might be interested in taking part, please let us know, as we have in the past been able to accommodate a number of respected peers who are not themselves speakers on the program.
More information is available on the Brocher Foundation's website at www.brocher.ch/en/events/203/brocher-summer-academy-in-population-level-bioethics-ethical-design-of-randomized-studies-in-developing-countries. Note in particular the deadline for applications: March 11, 2016.

April marks ten years that Robert Longo is in the photography business. While most of his time consists of talking brides off the ledge, his more constructive work results in breathtaking images of people celebrating the most important days of their lives. Being the photographer at a wedding is such an intimate position to be in that brides often bond with the man behind the camera, while grooms just sit back and hope that everything turns out okay.
Robbie all too often gets too much information from brides as he tries to interview them about their weddings photo requests, but it's just part of the job he says. With over one hundred and forty weddings under his belt per year, Longo finds it hard to capture his artistic freedom and wishes to venture out into more creative fields in the future. At times he claims he may have joined the photography business just to say he has his own camera.
Growing up in a family full of well established photographers, Robbie's technological curiosity was often stifled by the words "don't touch the camera". So in rebellion, once he was old enough and could afford it on his own he purchased a camera himself, one that no one else could touch, and began snapping away.
Now he's one of the most highly recommended and requested photographers in the tri-state area and practically runs the office at Riccardo Studios at 346 New Dorp Lane in Staten Island New York. So what's in store for the future of this amazing camera man? Perhaps a book or a feature film. He says that if it were up to him his work would be geared towards Reflecting the darker side of people, setting them aside from their surroundings and revealing only the truth in its purest essence. Whatever this artistic genius chooses to do we can expect only the best from Sir Robert M Longo. an expect only the best from Sir Robert M Longo.

In San Gimignano between the Tuscan hills...
Between the Tuscan hills of San Gimignano lies a small sixteeth-century village in the Natural Reserve of Castelvecchio surrounded by woods, silence and art. Here is where you'll also find "Il Casolare di Libbiano".
The beginning of our dream goes back to the spring of 1988 when our first guests arrived.
We are Berta & Andrea, and we completely restored this farmhouse respecting its original architecture and atmosphere.
The decor, with its antique furniture, original paintings, carpets and collecting small objects that you will find around the home. All this gives the house the charm and atmosphere that allows our guests to feel at home.
In all these years Berta & Andrea have offered a warm and elegant environment in which guests at Casolare di Libbiano can feel as if they are in a "home away from home".
Il Casolare di Libbiano is a farmhouse with 4 double rooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, and 2 suites with living room, ensuite bathroom and terrace, all with beautiful views over the Tuscan countryside right outside San Gimignano.
The common areas of the house, including sitting rooms and terraces, offer guests comfortable places for reading, for sitting around and conversing or just to relax.
In the orchard garden around the house is a splendid swimming pool with comfortable lounge chairs for sun bathing, relaxing and listening to the silence.
Meals are served in the old Tuscan tradition drawing on Berta's passion for cooking and her many years of experience in the kitchen. We offer our guests completely homemade meals prepared with vegetables & herbs grown in our own garden.
In our house, you will find a magical place where you can completely enjoy your Tuscan holiday. "For our guests .. a little paradise".

United Nations Daily Highlights, 01-05-09
United Nations Daily Highlights Directory - Previous Article - Next Article
From: The United Nations Home Page at <http://www.un.org> - email: email@example.com
Wednesday, May 9, 2001
Secretary-General Kofi Annan is in Washington, D.C. this afternoon to meet with U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tommy Thompson, to discuss the UN's programs to fight HIV/AIDS. The Secretary-General will return to New York later today.
Asked if the Secretary-General would discuss the recent loss by the United States of its seat on the UN Human Rights Commission during this trip, the Spokesman said that he would not. The Secretary-Generals meetings will be focused on HIV/AIDS, the Spokesman added.
In response to a query, the Spokesman later said that U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell would be joining the Secretary-General and Secretary Thompson in their meeting this afternoon.
At this morning's Senior Management Group meeting at UN Headquarters, Mary Robinson, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights ( UNHCHR), reported on the highlights of the recent session of the Human Rights Commission in Geneva. In that context, there was also discussion of last week's elections to the Human Rights Commission, which took place in the Economic and Social Council in New York.
When asked if the recent vote on membership of the commission had been discussed, the Spokesman said that the High Commissioner reported shock and dismay in Geneva at the news that the United States had lost its seat.
The Secretary-General reported that reaction had been the same in New York, the Spokesman said. The Secretary-General also observed that the United States has contributed so much to the work of the Commission since its inception in 1947 and hopes that the United States will remain engaged, even as a non-member, and that it will have the opportunity to return as a member next year.
mso-list:l6 level1 lfo4;tab-stops:0in .5in;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
The Spokesman also said that during the meeting of the Senior Management Group, the Secretary-General further expressed some worry at reports that some members of the U.S. Congress want to punish the Organization for what was essentially a democratic process, and for that matter one that involved only a fraction of the membership. Punishing all 189 Member States, the Secretary-General said in the meeting, would be counter-productive. And punishing the bureaucracy would be unfair.
In closed consultations this morning, Hans Haekkerup, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for and Head of the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo ( UNMIK), briefed the Security Council on latest developments in Kosovo. The focus of the briefing is on the legal framework for provisional government and the holding of elections later this year.
The Secretary-General attended the session.
The Special Representative later held a press conference at UN Headquarters.
The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East ( UNRWA) is holding an informal meetings of major donors in Amman, Jordan Wednesday and Thursday.
At this meeting, UNRWAs Commissioner-General Peter Hansen will issue the fifth progress report of the emergency appeals launched in October of last year, following the start of the current uprising the Palestinian territories.
In his remarks, the Commissioner-General noted the quick and generous response of the donor community to the emergency appeals.
Hansen also noted the continued budget deficit of his agency, which is hampering the long-term capabilities of UNRWA to deliver assistance to some 3.8 million Palestinian refugees.
Funds for the emergency appeals cover, among other things, distribution of emergency food aid and cash assistance for families deemed in extreme crisis. By the end of April, UNRWA had given more that $750,000 to some 2,000 families in Gaza.
Families can qualify for this assistance for a number of reasons: loss of the primary breadwinner; forced relocation following shelling or bulldozing by Israeli security forces; lack of funds for utility payments.
In terms of food distribution, from January until the end of March, more that 120,000 families had received emergency food rations.
Last night in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo, more than 1,000 people, mostly Bosnian Muslims, marched peacefully through the streets to protest the recent violence by Bosnian Serb demonstrators near mosques in the towns of Banja Luka and Trebinje.
The UN Mission ( UNMIBH) reports that the march, which lasted until early in the morning, passed without incident and the local police performed their duties effectively. The UN Mission says that Bosnia has been quieter over the past 24 hours, although there have been some isolated incidents of tensions between Serbs and Muslims.
The President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Judge Claude Jorda, will travel to Sarajevo to address a conference on Saturday concerning proposals to set up a Truth and Reconciliation Commission for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Judge Jorda is expected to say that the Tribunal could encourage such a body, provided that its work will be complementary to the Tribunal's mandate and not weaken its work.
Meanwhile, the Prosecutor for the Tribunal, Carla del Ponte, has been in Washington, where she met Tuesday with U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell and other senior officials. She is expected to come here Thursday, to meet the Secretary-General and other senior officials.
In their weekly briefing notes issued today, the Tribunal marks the fifth anniversary of its first trial, the case against Dusan Tadic, which began on May 7, 1996. Since his trial, 21 other individuals have been tried, and 10 more are currently being tried.
Deputy Secretary-General Louise Fr�chette is traveling to Jordan this afternoon, where, at the invitation of Jordanian Foreign Minister Abdelillah il-Khatib, she will participate in the ministerial meeting of the Human Security Network, to be held in Petra on May 11-12.
The Human Security Network is an informal group of states, committed to working together on human security issues. States participating in the meeting are to include Austria, Canada, Chile, Greece, Ireland, Japan, Jordan, Mali, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Switzerland and Thailand (with South Africa as an observer).
The Deputy Secretary-General will be returning to New York on Sunday and will be back in the office next Monday.
The UN mission in Sierra Leone ( UNAMSIL), which fielded long-range-patrols in the eastern part of the country, reported today a series of attacks by the Civil Defense Force (CDF) on positions held by the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) over the weekend.
UNAMSIL regards these attacks are violations of the Abuja Ceasefire Agreement and as a threat to the peace process, the press release said. It appeals for the exercise of restraint in order not to jeopardize the progress achieved by all parties at the 2 May Abuja Ceasefire Review.
Kenzo Oshima, Emergency Relief Coordinator and Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, was deeply saddened to learn of the death of a pilot working for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), who was killed when his plane came under fire during a humanitarian mission in Southern Sudan. This tragedy, following the brutal killings of six ICRC workers just two weeks ago near Bunia in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, underscores the dangers faced by humanitarian personnel in delivering assistance to those in need. He calls upon all parties to take all measures necessary to ensure the safety and security of humanitarian personnel.
The Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) will be open for signature in Stockholm on the 22nd and 23rd of this month. The convention will ban 12 of the most toxic organic pollutants and the list includes pesticides, industrial chemicals and by products of combustion. The Convention will set out control measures covering production, import, export, disposal and use.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) today issued a new report on obsolete pesticides, in collaboration with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The report states that more than 500,000 tons of old and unused banned or expired pesticides are threatening the health of millions of people around the world. These figures are five times the original estimate of around 100,000 tons and include some of the categories to be banned by the Convention of Persistent Organic Pollutants.
Published today as official documents is an exchange of letters between the Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council, providing for a one-year extension of the UN peace-building office in Tajikistan, until June 1, 2002. In his letter, the Secretary-General notes the work of his Representative for Tajikistan, Ivo Petrov, in facilitating the reconciliation process in Tajikistan, and says that the office has focused over the past year in consolidating peace, mobilizing assistance for reconstruction, promoting the rule of law and supporting human rights.
The UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia ( ESCWA) issued a press release announcing the opening Thursday n Beirut of its 21st annual biennial ministerial meeting. This session will be chaired by Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri and will focus on Regional Integration and Globalization.

Another reason is the supporting cast. I love Dick Van Dyke (one of the villains in the first movie), but he didn't have a lot to do and was absent for most of the film. The MVP of Smithsonian has got to be Hank Azaria. Playing the main heavy, Kahmunrah, with an accent borrowed from Boris Karloff along with providing the voices of The Thinker and Abe Lincoln, Azaria really delivers. His scene with a certain green muppet and a black cloaked bad guy is hysterical.
Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan, returning as miniatures brought to life, are very funny as is Bill Hader as a crazed General Custer. I can never tell Amy Adams and Amy Ryan apart but I can assure you one of them is in this movie playing a fast talking Amelia Earhart (I almost said whip-smart, but I can't stand that phrase). And while Jonah Hill might already be overstaying his 15 minutes of fame, his scene here with Stiller is pretty strong.
The only disappointment is the usually dependable Christopher Guest has absolutely nothing to do here as Ivan the Terrible. Oh, and the Jonas Brothers make an appearance but it's brief so no real harm done.
I can't say I'm looking forward to Night at the Museum: Brunch at the Whitney (in 3D), but as long as this one stays in heavy rotation at our house, I can't complain.

Other Activities in Peisey Vallandry
Not everyone wants to ski all of the time, so why not take a closer look at what else you can do in Peisey Vallandry and the surrounding areas including paragliding, purpose built ice-climbing, climbing natural frozen waterfalls, snowshoeing, dog sledding, horse drawn sleds, swimming, speed flying, bobsleigh and Nordic Skiing. In fact there is so much on offer we are sure you will need to come back next year to fit it all in!
|Peisey Vallandry is on the edge of the Vanoise National Park and has some spectacular walks and hikes for all levels of fitness and experience from the gentile family strolls to the full-on ascents and descents of the massive peaks in the area. There are no less than 6 refuges in the area for those who want to plan a longer walk. Mountain Guides are available in both winter and summer or walking maps with routes are in PVR Reception or the Tourist Office.
|Advice: Do not hike alone in the mountains; always tell someone your route and expected return time. Bring warm clothes and raincoats, good shoes and gloves. Consult the Meteo France's snow and avalanche report. Do not insist if you have misgivings about the route, the snowpack stability or the weather.
|Snow Shoeing (or raquettes in French) is the perfect way to see parts of the mountain you would never normally see on ski's. Hire a guide to take you on some beautiful walks or rent a pair yourself and start exploring. The Vanoise National Park is a great place to go and remember to keep your eyes pealed for Ibex and other wildlife that live in the area.
Nordic Skiing in Paradiski
|Peisey Vallandry has one of the largest Nordic Ski areas in the Tarentaise, with 43km of pistes right on edge of the Vanoise National Park with all the lushness of the flora and fauna (chamois, ibex, larch forests, frozen waterfalls) alongside the local heritage (villages, hamlets, ancient mines), there is much to be discovered by all who enter this beautiful area. Lessons and equipment hire are available at the Nordic Centre and all levels and abilities are catered for.
Olympic Bobsleigh in La Plagne
|Looking for an adrenalin rush then have a go on the most technical piste in the world, the Olympic Bobsleigh run in La Plagne. Choose between: Taxi Bob, a piloted bob built like the bobsleighs used for competitions with speeds up to 110km/h Bob Raft where you can ride at slower speeds with your family and no pilot; or Mono Bob - no professional pilot, no one else, just you and the ride of your life!
Water Slide in Les Arcs
|A good laugh for spectators and a wealth of unforgettable memories for anyone brave enough to throw themselves down the run and across the 15 metre-long pool (50cm deep)…without taking a tumble??
Boarder Cross - Plan Vert in Les Arcs
|A series of whoops and banked turns on a totally dedicated route; 2 courses at different levels of difficulty to experience at your own pace! Piste du Plan Vert – Vallée d'Arc 2000.
Boarder Gliss and Rey Park in Les Arcs
|At the top of the Peisey chair lift, are 2 courses for you to have fun on. Accessible for all levels.
Natural Runs in Les Arcs
|Natural runs made safe and signposted by ski patrollers, but without any grooming to spoil the authentic atmosphere of the area. Designed for very good skiers: Varet, Crêtes, Dou de l'Homme, Lanches, Robert Blanc, Génépi, Bois de l'Ours, les Bosses, les 2 Têtes and Malgovert. Skiing in its natural state!
Piste Milka in Les Arcs
|Located in Arc 1800, this little route tells you all about the mountain flora and fauna. A fun way to arrive in Arc 1800, with information panels and animal silhouettes.
Speed test - in Arc 2000
|A special area to test your speed, located near the start of the Plagnettes chair lift, where you can test how fast you ski: timing bays with speed displayed at the finishing line (this speed test is one of the initiatives for making people aware of what constitutes dangerous behaviour on the slopes.)
Snowpark in Les Arcs
|Whether a total beginner, an experienced skier or boarder, a pro-rider or simply a spectator, head to the Apocalypse Parc in the middle of the ski area between Arc 1600 and Arc 1800.
Avalanche Parc
|An area totally dedicated to raising awareness of avalanche research and the dangers of off-piste skiing. Located at the Col de la Chal on a major busy crossing point in the ski area, the park is easy to access and there is no charge.
Ice Climbing
|Peisey-Vallandry Nordic Ski area is famous for the opportunities it offers for natural frozen waterfall climbing. The sun does not reach this sector for several months of the year from mid November allowing the formation of these amazing frozen waterfalls. From initiation classes for the general public to the most challenging routes reserved for experienced climbers, there is something for everyone. In addition there is a 22m high artificial ice-climbing tower, the only one of its kind in Europe, located in Champagny, La Plagne. Have an introduction to ice-climbing or advanced tuition on the 26 routes.
Dog Sleds
|"Le Trappeur" Peisey Vallandry is in the perfect location to take advantage of the stunning scenery and local wildlife. Take a ride on a 10 dog driven sled, wrapped up nice and warm on the edge of the Vanoise National Park or learn to drive your own team of 3 dogs. If you are lucky you may spot some Ibex and Chamois if you look closely...
Horse Drawn Sleds
|Take a horse drawn sleigh and discover the wonders of the mountains from a different perspective. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride through the Vanoise National Park from the cosy confines of the snug sled covered in blankets, starting in the beautiful old traditional village of Nancroix.
|Whether it is winter flying over the snow covered peaks with skiers below or soaring on the summer thermals over the lush green mountains, paragliding is the perfect way to see the area. Peisey Vallandry Rentals work in conjunction with a local school and can arrange tandem flights or courses so you can learn to fly your own wing. All instructors are fully qualified and the school is recognised by the French Free Flight Federation.
Speed Flying
|Speed Flying (or Speed Riding) is a relatively new sport, having been around for about 7 years. Although classed as an extreme sport it is actually as extreme as you make it. As long as you are able to ski red runs in all snow conditions confidently you will be able to try speed flying. More than 400 people have already learnt with Speedriding-School, Les Arcs and although they may have French accent all the instructors can teach you in English!

Highlighting does not have to be hard work to gain definition and a healthy-looking glow on skin. So in keeping with the naturals focus this week, from skincare to three new luminous shades of highlighter - housed in a stick. Here's how to apply them.
Nude by Nature Touch of Glow Highlight Sticks, $24 hit counters this week, designed to add dimension, colour and that much sought after glow. The idea is that you swipe on this cream to powder colour straight from the stick, and then use your fingers to blend. Where to place them I hear you ask? Nude by Nature makeup artist Owen Allison shares his tips.
Bronze Highlight Stick: to add warmth, definition and depth to skin. "Use the bronze to define and sculpt your bone structure, by adding depth to the outer edges of the face, as this lifts the highlights in the centre of the face. Pay attention to check under the jaw and make sure the bronze shade is perfectly blended."
Rose Highlight Stick: To add a hint of radiant colour and warmth, use this as you would a blusher, on the apples of the cheeks. "Apply with fingers, and then softly tap your fingers on the top of the cheeks, and then smooth the colour until it blends flawlessly into the skin."
Champagne Highlight Stick: To instantly illuminate and add sheen. Allison says this is the star product. "Apply the champagne shade along the middle of the nose, top of the cupid's bow on the top lip, under and above the brow bone, and along the top of the cheek, just above the rose blusher. Finally, blend the three shades with your fingers or a foundation brush so the look is flawless between all three colours".
Top tip: Contouring should be subtle by day but as the lights go down, ramp up the look to make the most this trend.

Today I wanted to experiment with the eyeshadows '1985', 'GRASSHOPPER' and 'ARCTIC' from the Urban Decay Vice4 palette.
This intense look is playful and vibrant. Scroll down to see how I created this look.
I started off by applying '1985' to the inner corner of my eyes and then using a clean brush, I applied 'GRASSHOPPER' to the centre and slightly blended the two together. I then used 'DELETE' and 'BUTTER' on the outer corners and blended them with a fluffy brush into the crease. I used the shadow 'ARCTIC' and also applied Urban Decay's Heavy Metal purple liquid liner called 'ACDC' under the eye. I toped the look off with some heavy lashes by Eylure and applied some black winged liner over the top.
I really enjoyed creating this look. It still surprises me just how strong in pigment the eyeshadows are in the Vice4 palette. They come on so intensely that this look was really easy to create. The rest of my makeup is all MAC products: Studio Fix Fluid NC15, 'Harmony' matte bronzer, 'Stone' lipstick, 'Spice' lip pencil.
Please like and leave a comment below your thoughts on this makeup and what kind of look you want to see next.

HOPE report
Differences in ranging patterns between sexes and between estrous and anestrous females in wild chimpanzes.
Report:Hashimoto, Chie
Date:2008/08/02 - 2008/08/12
I conducted a research on ranging patterns of wild chimpanzees in the Kalinzu Forest, Uganda from September 2004 to September 2005.
I analyzed differences in the ranging patterns between sexes and between estrous and anestrous females.
The previous studies showed that anestrous females do not overlap their home ranges in eastern chimpanzees (Williams et al, 2002) while they overlap their home ranges and use similar home range to those of males in western chimpanzees (Lehmann and Boesch, 2005).
In Kalinzu, the female home ranges were similar to those of males and they considerably overlapped each other.
However, the party composition in Kalinzu was similar to that reported for eastern chimpanzees and females tended to forage in a mother party.
These results were presented at the International Primatological Society XXII Congress Edinburgh.
I also discuss ecology of chimpanzees with other researchers.

A four-year-old who was last seen winning a maiden point-to-point at Oldtown on Sunday, Asterion Forlonge shares his sire with another of Mullins' recruits in Grade 1 scorer Bacardys as both are by Haras de Cercy resident Coastal Path.
Kirk said: "The sire was a help because we have a couple of horses in the stables by Coastal Path and he's a well respected sire in France. I like the way he won his point-to-point - he finished off the race very well - and we've been very lucky buying stock from Pat Doyle too.
"He'll go back to Willie's yard and he'll be a horse for next season."
Felix Desjy won today at Galway . shortened up for this race , but unchanged for the Ballymore hdl.

In Tushan town, Nan'an district, Chongqing city, the local marriage registry showed that 380 couples got married while 285 couples got divorced in May. In September, 1590 couples got married while 839 couples got married. Due to the sudden explosion in cases, the marriage registry workers have had to work overtime every day.
What happened here?
In Tushan town, an engineering project required townsfolk to relocate. An individual town resident is given 135,000 yuan in compensation. If this citizen gets married to an outsider, another 67,500 yuan is given to the spouse. If the outsider already has a child, another 67,500 yuan is given to the couple.
The cost of getting a marriage license is 9 yuan.
If an unmarried resident marries an outsider, the total compensation is 135,000 + 67,500 = 200,000 yuan. If the outsider already has a child, the total compensation increases to 200,000 + 67,500 = 267,600 yuan.
Consider next the case of a married couple both of whom are town residents. Ordinarily, they get 135,000 + 135,000 = 270,000 yuan in compensation. Suppose they get divorced and each remarries an outsider. Their total compensation is 135,000 + 67,500 + 135,000 + 67,500 = 400,000 yuan. Better yet, they marry outsiders who have children, in which case the total compensation goes up to 535,000 yuan.
Particularly popular are outsiders who can be hired as temporary spouses. The pay is more like 10,000 yuan while the town resident keeps 57,500 yuan.
Here are some specific cases:
One couple got married at the insistence of the family. The wife quickly got pregnant and the child came in July, which brought an extra 67,500 yuan. However, the couple had a personality conflict and they quarreled every day. Now that the child has arrived, the marriage was over (although the money is still good).
Another couple had been married 26 years. Their son is works away from home. They were living a simple, tranquil life. In April, they were tempted by the relocation money. So they each married an outsider with the understanding that they will get re-married after they get the money. But after they got the money, the husband said that he was no longer interested in getting re-married.
A 20-year-old young woman got married to a 40-year-old man. On the registry, the man was listed as receiving "primary education" while the woman was listed as "a current university student." The couple is getting a divorce after only a marriage that lasted only 28 days. The young woman is now a divorcee, which may affect her future marriage prospects.
The most astonishing case is a 52-year-old strong man who carried an 82-year-old woman on his back into the marriage registry. When the worker asked, "Do the two of you love each other and enter marriage voluntarily?" the woman was incoherent in her response. This caused the man to be angry and he stormed out with the bride on this back after the process was completed.

Memory units these terms are usually used in the world of computing to describe disk space, or data storage space, and system memory. For instance, just a few years ago we were describing hard drive space using the term Megabytes. Today, Gigabytes is the most common term being used to describe the size of a hard drive. In the not so distant future, Terabyte will be a common term. But what are they? This is where it gets quite confusing because there are at least three accepted definitions of each term.
According to the IBM Dictionary of computing, when used to describe disk storage capacity, a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes in decimal notation. But when the term megabyte is used for real and virtual storage, and channel volume, 2 to the 20th power or 1,048,576 bytes is the appropriate notation. According to the Microsoft Press Computer Dictionary, a megabyte means either 1,000,000 bytes or 1,048,576 bytes. According to Eric S. Raymond in The New Hacker's Dictionary, a megabyte is always 1,048,576 bytes on the argument that bytes should naturally be computed in powers of two. So which definition do most people conform to?
When referring to a megabyte for disk storage, the hard drive manufacturers use the standard that a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes. This means that when you buy an 80 Gigabyte Hard drive you will get a total of 80,000,000,000 bytes of available storage. This is where it gets confusing because Windows uses the 1,048,576 byte rule so when you look at the Windows drive properties an 80 Gigabyte drive will report a capacity of 74.56 Gigabytes and a 250 Gigabyte drive will only yield 232 Gigabytes of available storage space. Anybody confused yet? With three accepted definitions, there will always be some confusion so I will try to simplify the definitions a little.
The 1000 can be replaced with 1024 and still be correct using the other acceptable standards. Both of these standards are correct depending on what type of storage you are referring.
This is based on the IBM Dictionary of computing method to describe disk storage – the simplest.
Now you should have a good understanding of megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes and everything in between. Now if we can just figure out what a WhatsAByte is……:)

Little Canada OKs new breathing apparatus for fire department
The Little Canada Fire Department is getting a new self-contained breathing apparatus.
The purchase of the equipment was approved Jan. 9 during the Little Canada City Council's first meeting of the year.
The city budgeted $180,000 for the purpose in its 2019 general capital improvement fund, and the actual purchase price will come in at $177,514, according to a memo to the council.
"[The] self-contained breathing apparatus [is] by far the most important piece of personal safety equipment that we use," Fire Chief Don Smiley said in the memo. The scuba tank-like gear is used so firefighters can breath in smoke-filled situations.
Smiley explained in the memo that the fire department's current breathing apparatus was purchased in 2004, and per federal law, such equipment — specifically the air tanks — must be retired after 15 years of use. He added that since 2004 there have been multiple improvements and advancements in the gear.
The most costly piece of equipment the department will be purchasing, per the memo, is the harness system — it's buying 22 of them at just more than $3,600 apiece.
Smiley said during the meeting the department is buying the same model it currently uses, and that while the new apparatus is more advanced, there should be some continuity to make the switchover go smoothly.
Council members noted that it was an expensive purchase, but necessary.
"This has been planned for a while and it's good to make sure [the fire department has] the equipment you need," Mayor John Keis said to Smiley.

Delicious Easy Gammon Recipe
With Christmas coming up I thought I would share my super easy and delish gammon recipe. After some Googling and combining a few recipes to get the desired result I wanted this is the final recipe that I ended up with.
- Smoked gammon – the kind with the elasticated mesh around it
- Carrots
- Onions
- Cloves
- Bay leaf
- Honey
- Dijon mustard
- Tooth picks
- Glaze cherries
- Apple sauce
- Put gammon in pot and fill as much of the space around it with carrots and a quartered onion (max two).
- Then pour in cold water so that it only covers half the gammon.
- Put cloves in the water and one bay leaf.
- Bring to the boil.
- For each kg of gammon it needs 20min boiling time on each side.
- Remove from the water.
- Remove elastic from around gammon.
- Cut the skin off but try not to remove any of the fat (this will keep it tasty and moist). For those that hate fat rather remove the fat after serving it or you risk the gammon drying out.
- Score the fat into diamond shapes.
- Glaze the gammon – I used equal parts honey and Dijon mustard for the glazing.
- Using toothpicks put glaze cherries in each of the points of the scored diamonds.
- Press cloves into the gammon all over the other sides.
- At this point I normally pour the water from the pot into containers and freeze it to use as a stock for soups at a later stage.
- Place the onion and some of the diced carrots on the bottom of the roasting dish and place the gammon on top of it. I don't let the gammon actually touch the bottom of the roasting dish.
- The roasting dish should be lined with tin foil if it isn't metal. Shiny side facing out.
- Roast the gammon for about 40 minutes per kg. For best results use a meat thermometer and take the gammon out the second the thermometer says it is cooked.
- Let the meat rest for 15 minutes then carve it and serve it with apple sauce. Some people also love to add extra mustard to their gammon so that's also nice to have on the table.
*Sorry that I do not have a better photo of the gammon. I was totally wrapped up in hosting that I never got a decent shot. But I was too proud of how it turned out not to share the recipe.
What are your go to Christmas recipes?
Get Real About Your Finances
I think that this is in part a lecture to myself. It has been an insane year. I am sure I am not the only one feeling the rising cost of goods weighing on them? Also since our first child was born we have loosened up our spending habits mostly where it means that we get to buy convenience and save time. With life becoming more expensive and another kid on the way we definately need to relook our spending habits. The ways I see things, is that I can become negative about the rising cost of living or be proactive about building the life I want. Continue reading "Get Real About Your Finances"

Time Saver: Umatie
I am not a chef but before having children I used to love baking and throwing tea parties and dinner parties but I just do not have the time anymore. Our general strategy is to live off of as many marked down prepared meals from Pick n Pay as possible and when there aren't any available in store or in the deep freeze we split the cooking duties. Not the most wholesome strategy I know, but it is a survival tactic at this point. I do however stress that my little one needs to eat healthily even on the nights when we don't and this is where Umatie comes to the rescue. Continue reading "Time Saver: Umatie"

He has caught one illness after the other, most of which have been colds and flu, with seldom a break before the next illness hits. After a few numerous doctors visits I now have compiled a comprehensive list of over the counter treatments that you can use for your little one. Please note that I am NOT a medical professional and that I still recommend that you chat to your pediatrician before administering any sort of medicine.

For Zimmerman, earth, light, and atmosphere are elemental truths about our natural world that have resonated as guiding principles in her work throughout her career as a sculptor, painter and photographer. Since 2000, she has built an extensive and ongoing exploratory body of works on paper created independently in mixed drawing media and photography. These works examine the vast indeterminacy of nature and bring organization and focus to its essential dynamism between the rhythms, patterns, color and materiality.
In Zimmerman's most recent works of the KOSMOS series, she continues exploring light, color and matter but now in the deep void of outer space. Star clusters, galaxies, nebula and planets such as in the KOSMOS: Saturn series, (1-9), are dynamic and spatially provoking constructivist compositions that evoke otherworldliness.

"The only way I've found to try to keep my balance in a globe permanently on the move—and ever more cluttered with stuff—is to step out of the world on a regular basis, and to step back from my life, so as to see what's truly inside them. Otherwise, I can feel I'm standing two inches away from a vast and constantly shifting canvas, terminally unable to make out the larger picture."

Richy Sheehy is a cool person and if you're at least mildly attractive he would consider you as a potential object of lust. His unique blend of outrageous songs and stand-up comedy have garnered him a record breaking 12 'Richy' Awards and 13 days in a minimum security prison. Born in County Cork, the greatest place in Ireland and the world, Richy recently returned home after a 5 year stint in hiding from the Gardai in a not so secret annexe in Amsterdam. He likes to spend his time split between his two favourite activities of enacting vengeance and writing about himself.
This year Richy shot to fame as Cork's Biggest Liverpool Fan and since then he has performed live on Soccer AM, BBC Radio 1 and The Ray D'arcy show as well as playing to thousands at Liverpool's Anfield stadium and selling out a headline slot at the O2 Academy in Oxford. Having recently performed in Tokyo, Richy can say he has performed in 2 continents including Asia, with the positive reaction assuring him he could achieve his adult dream of being 'Big in Japan'.

For the past few months Adel has felt relatively safe.
In February she fled her home in North Aceh after police detained and tortured her and 11 other transgendered women. Activists reckon more than two dozen transgendered women, known as waria here, are thought to have escaped to safer cities outside of Aceh, such as Jakarta, where Adel, 30, now lives.
Trouble is, many feel they have simply traded fear for loneliness and isolation. With few friends, family and a growing overall hostility toward lesbian gay and transgendered people, Adel says it's all but impossible to get a job outside of sex work.
"The only possibility is an open booking job and I don't like that," she says, using the euphemism for prostitution.
"It's too risky to my health."
Now as the fasting month of Ramadan approaches, a deeply spiritual time for Muslim families, Adel says the isolation is all too much. Later this month she plans to go home, even if it means staying indoors most of the time.
"I actually want to stay in Jakarta but I have no job, no connection and the status of waria is getting tougher."
Adel's experience underscores just how vulnerable transgendered women are here. Limited contacts in the outside world make it tough to assimilate. Add to that a limited education and their options away from home narrow substantially. Many waria scarcely have a high school education because they are hounded out of their homes as teenagers.
Monica, Adel's friend, also plans to return home for Ramadan, which begins on 15 May. But Monica says she will stay with friends because relations with her family are fraught. Publicity following the police raids embarrassed her family. Her older brother beat her.
"We haven't fixed the relationship," Monica says.
"Although Jakarta is hard I am only going back to make sure my parents are ok. And then I will come back to Jakarta. I am safer here."
Aceh, an autonomous province, adopted a form of sharia law in 2014, which outlaws alcohol, adultery, homosexuality, pre-marital sex and gambling, and regulates what women can wear.
Last year a court sentenced two men to more than 80 strokes of the cane after they were convicted of homosexuality. That sentence was carried out in public, though the government has since moved floggings away from public view.
In late January the then- North Aceh police chief Untung Sangaji led his constables on raids of several salons rounding up a dozen transgendered women. The officers shaved their detainees' heads and forced them to perform calisthenics as well as to shout repeatedly, as part of a makeshift syllabus to force the trans women to adopt more masculine traits.
Former North Aceh Police Chief Untung Sangaji
Mr Sangaji was transferred in early March following an investigation, which was ordered by his boss, national police chief Tito Karnavian. The move, which gained little attention outside Aceh, was part of the regular rotation, the national police said.
Even so, Aceh is far from safe, activists warn. About 35 transgendered women are still unable to go back to work in their salons including 15 in the town of Lhoksukon, in North Aceh where the raids took place, according to local activist group Putroe Sejati Aceh. Sharia police regularly patrol salons and seeking to detain and workers or their clients. Some 33 transgendered women fled Aceh following the raids.
Making matters worse regular civilians are increasingly all too willing to take matters into their own hands. Said one local activist who did not want to be identified: "The situation is still unstable."

Switched up my Magic Online stream layout again tonight. Nothing really fits right with it and OBS. My monitor is like 1920x1200 and my secondary is 1280x720. Whichever I use for Magic Online, getting a stream layout where I'm not wasting too much space, but can put my webcam and other information seems... tough. I did some research, but not much was found.
I guess I keep digging.
I did three matches of Grixis Energy again tonight. I don't know why I keep trying this deck. Perhaps because it tops tournaments and people sing its praises, but I sure don't get it. It feels so sloppy and broken. UB Control may have its problems (Like, I don't want to play Bontu's Last Reckoning, for example.) but it feels more consistant. I don't know. Dominaria can't come soon enough to shake up this Standard because I just can't find a home in it.

There are several reasons why an individual wants to borrow a Home Loan from the bank. A person might want to save the hassles of renting or he is seeking a long-term investment through the home. At the end of the repayments, he'll have a valuable asset to his name. But the process of Home Loan is not an easy one and is not available for people with poor financial standings as a candidate's financial condition is taken well into consideration before granting a Home Loan.
Home Loans are usually long term loans. The tenure of the loan is usually 20 years and can be extended up to 30 years as per the needs of the borrower. One thing which must be remembered is that the higher the tenure, higher will be the rate of interest charged on the Home Loan interest and vice-versa. Thus Home Loans should be repaid as early as possible in order to avoid high Home Loan interest rates. You can even opt for Home Loan balance transfer by switching banks. This will help you to save a decent amount of money in the long run just by taking the right decision.
When we talk about a Home Loan, one of the most important parts is the prepayment one. Suppose you received an annual bonus or have just received a bulk payment that was due to be paid to you since a long time. In such a case you are in the thought of whether to prepay the loan or whether to invest that amount in some other area. Investment can lead to higher profit while prepayment will reduce the entire stress that comes with monthly installments. These are the primary features of the two. Let us now understand which one is better – Prepayment or investment by going in detail.
There are few variables that you need to consider when you're deciding between prepayment and investing the lump sum amount. There are goals that you need to meet and all the possibilities are to be thought of before making this decision. These variables are:
Psychology: One of the most important aspects of repayment of the loan is the psychology of a person. It differs from person to person. For some high loan amount is not a serious issue and they have faith in their abilities to repay the loan thus they encourage more loans whereas many are conservative and see Home Loan as a threat. Even if they secure a Home Loan, they wish to get rid of it as early as possible. Thus these people prefer prepayment over investment.
Tax benefits: There are various tax benefits attached to the Home Loan offers. Although investment is attractive, investment in the presence of outstanding loans is a sensible choice to many. They are looking for tax benefits and thus they divert their lump sum received in some other investment and continue to avail tax benefits. Thus they prefer to stick with the payment of monthly EMIs.
Return on investment: Every investment made is with a view to obtain a better return on investment. A profit is what everyone is looking for. When you look forward to prepaying your loan there are several factors that you need to consider. If the post-tax return on investment is higher than you should opt for investment over prepayment. This is the general thumb rule.
These are the three variables that need to be considered carefully. Give a considerable thought to it when you think to prepay a Home Loan. Apart from these variables, Home Loan Tax Benefits should be the primary focus in order to make the most out of it. If it's favorable then stick to it, if not then switch to an investment.

Program Name: Webcam for Remote Desktop
Published By: FabulaTech
License Type: Shareware
Date Released: November 19, 2012
Webcam for Remote Desktop Desciption:
Webcam for Remote Desktop is software by FabulaTech, that redirects a webcam from local computer to remote desktop session, creating a virtual webcam on the remote side, which gets video stream from the webcam plugged to user's local computer.
Webcam for Remote Desktop is software by FabulaTech that redirects a webcam from local computer to remote desktop session. It is created exclusively for webcam high-level redirection. Supporting both RDP and Citrix ICA, Webcam for Remote Desktop creates a virtual webcam on the server side, which gets video stream from the webcam plugged to user's local computer. The software compresses video stream before the transfer, thereby both bandwidth utilization and latency are consequently reduced.
The most important and awaited feature is that the virtual webcam is now isolated inside the remote desktop session. It means that no one else logged to remote server can access and use it except the user that redirects it.
One more advantage of Webcam for Remote Desktop is that the webcam drivers are not required on the server side anymore. If the webcam worked properly on your local computer it will definitely work within a remote session.
Webcam for Remote Desktop works right out of the box. By default, all the user has to do is simply log into a remote session and the program will automatically redirect the first webcam available.
So now you can finally use webcams with Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ and many other applications in RDP or Citrix environments!

Gas prices on steady decline
Gas prices are on a steep slide after reaching three-year highs due to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Prices surged when Harvey struck refineries along the nation's gulf coast, then remained elevated as demand spiked in the southeastern U.S. following Hurricane Irma.
Now supply and demand levels are returning to normal, and prices are on the decline.
"If it weren't for the recent hurricanes, gas prices would be about 25 cents lower," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA–The Auto Club Group. "Since gas prices decline much slower than they rise, it could take a few weeks before they reach equilibrium. Gas prices in the southeastern U.S. should drop another 5-10 cents this week."
The average price in Georgia has declined for the last nine consecutive days, for a total discount of 8 cents, since peaking at $2.76 on Sept. 12. Georgia gas prices averaged $2.67 on Sunday. The state average is 5 cents less than this time last week. Georgia motorists are paying 32 cents more for a gallon of gasoline, compared to this time last year.
The most expensive gas price averages in Georgia are in Atlanta ($2.72), Athens ($2.70) and Valdosta ($2.65).
The least expensive gas price averages in Georgia are in Augusta-Aiken ($2.57), Macon ($2.58) and Columbus ($2.58).

Lawyers Handling Truck Jackknife Accidents
A truck jackknife occurs when the trailer of a semi truck is angled in a different direction than the cab section of the truck. This can cause a tractor-trailer to block an entire roadway or highway, leaving motorists in a dangerous situation. Truck jackknifes often cause multi-car pileups as drivers attempt to react to the truck.
At Lorenz & Lorenz, L.L.P., in Austin, Texas, we strive to help clients understand their rights after being injured in a truck jackknife situation. Our lawyers have years of experience handling these cases, aggressively taking action against the truck driver, trucking company or any other parties deemed negligent for the truck jackknife accident.
Attorney Ted Lorenz has handled thousands of truck jackknife and other personal injury cases for clients throughout Texas. Contact us online or call today at 877-LORENZ2 (877-567-3692) for a free consultation.
Driver Negligence
In many cases, truck driver negligence is the cause of a truck jackknife. When a driver loses control of the truck due to speeding, falling asleep at the wheel or reckless driving, a jackknife may occur. Drivers need to be held accountable for their actions, and our firm is dedicated to holding them responsible through a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
Truck Jackknife Injuries
Whether the truck collides with another vehicle while it is jackknifing or the jackknife causes a pileup, serious injuries can result, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Amputations
- Burns
- Broken bones
- Severe lacerations and abrasions
If the jackknife causes the truck to spill its cargo, this can be additionally dangerous to injured occupants of other vehicles. The cargo can crush vehicles or, if flammable, can ignite and result in fatal car fires.
Contact Our Austin Truck Accident LawyersToday
If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck jackknife accident, we can help. Contact us at 877-LORENZ2 (877-567-3692) today to discuss your case with us as soon as possible. We provide a free consultation and have Spanish speakers on staff.
