#PetTheft debate is on 2nd July 2018 in Westminster Hall at 4.30. Please email your MP.
At last the day we have all been waiting for! Now we must all write to our MPs asking them to support us and attend the #PetTheftReform meeting.
Pets are family, not things! The law currently doesn't reflect this and looks at the pet's purchase price when sentencing. While there is a maximum possible sentence of seven years for theft, pet theft rarely results in any custodial sentence.
Pet theft is therefore seen as a low-risk, high-reward crime and is on the rise.
Pets are priceless, irreplaceable and their loss wrecks lives. Only one in five stolen dog is ever recovered, people have no closure and are traumatised by the worry of what is happening to their pet – even if the crime is investigated, these cases rarely get to court and seldom result in a custodial sentence.
Will your MP be talking at the Pet Theft debate, Monday July 2nd, 4.30pm Westminster Hall? Do remind them! Here's how to contact them, do email and tweet so they know you care about this. Use the hashtag #PetTheftReform
And if you copy this link you can send them the whole 8 page briefing document to their inbox – you can read it too if you like! http://bit.ly/PETTHEFTDEBATE
If your MP wants to know more there's a #PetTheftReform drop-in on the same day as the debate; Room 10, Westminster Palace, from 1-4pm on Monday 2nd July. Photo opportunity for social media.
Template letter for your MP: http://www.stolenandmissingpetsalliance.co.uk/write-to-your-mp/
We are extremely concerned about the email sent out from the petitions committee giving 100,000 signatories the wrong information :-
"""Parliament debated this topic
Parliament debated this petition on 18 July 0002
You'll be able to watch the debate online at parliamentlive.tv
Waiting for 736,294 days for Parliament to publish the debate outcome""""
Please note the #PetTheftPetition debate will be on the 2nd July 2018 in Westminster Hall at 4.30.
Thank you all.

It was a disappointing ALCS for my team this year. After coming back from a seven point deficit I was certain that it was meant to be. It is hard to believe that after years of cheering for the team that always lost I expect them to win every time now. So it is on to next year. We look to be pretty well set for next year. We are returning with virtually the exact same team that was only one win away from the World Series. With a healthy Lowell batting 5th we may have been able to pull it off this year. All we have to do is straighten out the catching situation (or teach Tek to hit again) and figure out who is going to be the 5th starter.
Hopefully, Upton and the Rays have some magic left so I can at least say we lost to the World Series champs.

Tried the lime mojito. It's very minty smelling when first applied but then it fades. Found it worked well. Like the application tube
I've been using this deodorant for over 6 months and have been completely impressed. Odour protection is great, easy application and the tube has lasted me over 6 months! I find it's best to give it a few minutes after application before putting clothes on, or putting deodorant on under clothes to avoid white marks but also have found the underarm skin has gone back to a much healthier colour now that it's not blocked by anti perspirant and my clothes aren't as discoloured under the arms. 👍👍
Really happy with it! Just the best
This is the best deodorant I've ever used! I've tried a few natural ones since I've gone zero-waste, but was never happy with them. I am so happy with my purchase from Glowing Orchid Organics, I will never go back to anything else.
I've tried a variety of natural deodorants - some at much lower price points and some a bit higher. Once I tried this deodorant I knew I found the one! I'm a landscape gardener and I work 9 hour days in sometimes 35+ degree weather and this works like a charm. My only complaint is that the vanilla doesn't come in biodegradable packaging so I normally buy a few vanilla and a few other scents that aren't in plastic.

After suffering years of developmental delays, the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) plans to accelerate the Tapas BH-201 (Rustom II) program and now plans to expand the envelope of the flight trials and increasing the range, altitude, and endurance in the second half of this year in which all the payloads, imported as well indigenous, will be flight tested.
To meet the immediate requirement of the programme, An imported Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) payload has been used but the development of an indigenous ELINT is completed and is undergoing flight trials with EMBRAER aircraft. Indigenous development of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload for the Drone already is in an advanced stage with one prototype undergoing flight trials and evaluation in Dornier manned aircraft and the indigenously developed medium-range electro-optic payload is already developed and been successfully flight tested.
So far, six airframes have been realized and 25 flight trials have been carried out and Tapas has achieved a maximum endurance of 85 minutes, at an altitude of 14200 ft and range of 40 km during the trials. In our Previous report, (Indigenous Diesel Turboprop engine for Rustom-2 Developed) idrw.org had mentioned the development of Two Prototypes of the indigenous higher power engine has taken place and the program already has achieved 50 hours of endurance testing at the Ground trials.
ADE and DRDO are confident that Tapas BH-201 will be able to meet requirements of Tri-Services for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions and will be ready for User trails from 2020 onwards and to accelerate the program more drones will be built in near future. Tapas BH-201 program suffered from over-engineering due to which it was unable to remain within its target weight, weight reduction measures were initiated but the drone was still found to be overweight due to which to compensate weight growth a new powerful engine was installed which could deliver optimal in-flight performance.
Salient Features
- Multi-mission capabilities with a variety of payloads.
- State-of-the-art real-time simulator to train an external pilot.
- World class GCS & data links.
- Advanced Ground Support Systems (RAIR & HILS).
- Flight Control (GTH & GHH) Logics.
- Airworthiness Certification by CEMILAC (DO178B-Level A); first time in the country for UAV.
- Easy up-gradation and customization based on user requirements.
- Easy maintenance and cost-effective product lifecycle support.
- Technologies being developed, a legacy for future UAV/UCAV.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd. (HKEx) (00388.HK) will add the world's first deliverable renminbi futures to after-hours trading on April 7, stepping up the game in Chinese currency related business.
The futures, which will have a market maker, have a price limit of plus or minus 3 percent of the last traded price of each RMB futures contract month during the day trading, the local stock exchange operator said on Tuesday.
The new product will have coverage of 16 months from April. The bourse will also introduce a fourth calendar-quarter month of 2015 June on the same day it launches the RMB futures. The calendar spreads available for trading will also be boosted from six to 10.
HKEx chief executive Charles Li also said the bourse will launch LMEwire, a London Metal Exchange trade reporting service, in September. It will begin consultations this year on a closing auction for the cash market and circuit breakers to protect the market from "disorderly" volatility.
The Chinese currency has been relatively volatile in recent weeks, prompting businesses and traders to call for more hedging instruments to reduce risks.
Meanwhile, HKEX warned last week that market sentiment in Hong Kong is unlikely to improve significantly in the near term due to uncertainties surrounding China's economy.
The subdued investor mood will weigh on trading activity and keep in check the average daily turnover of the Hong Kong market, it said on Feb. 27.
"Given the outlook — you guys know better than we do — what investors are thinking about China these days," said Romnesh Lamba, co-head of global markets at HKEx. "Probably we won't see a huge uplift in market sentiment anytime soon."
Shanghai mulls board for emerging industries
The Shanghai Stock Exchange is studying a trading board for strategic emerging industries to enable larger and more mature firms to raise funds from the stock market, Shanghai Securities News reported Wednesday, citing bourse chairman Gui Minjie. Trading rules will be adjusted to distinguish the proposed board from other markets, the report said. At present, smaller firms can tap the Growth Enterprise Market for funds.
CSRC to unveil preferred stock trial scheme
The government will unveil a trial scheme soon for preferred stocks after public consultation, China Securities Journal reported Wednesday, citing Wang Xian, deputy director of market supervision at the China Securities Regulatory Commission. All qualified listed and non-listed firms can apply to issue such stocks. The scheme is open to all industries. Also, a draft proposal intended to avoid double taxation on private equity funds will be submitted this year, Wang was quoted as saying.

Tax Considerations for Captive Insurers
A FREE 16-page special report courtesy of Captive.com
Dig deep into important issues and trends in captive insurance. Download this FREE special report featuring practical knowledge and insights from nine respected captive insurance thought leaders!
Show Me My Free Report
A Lloyd's and RMS report titled Reimagining History: Counterfactual Risk Analysis states that "whenever an event occurs that takes the insurance market by surprise, questions are asked how the loss might have been averted, or what additional risk mitigation measures might have reduced the loss. It is also useful for questions to be asked how the loss might have been worse. To analyze what could have happened if events had turned for the worse is called a downward counterfactual. By contrast, an upward counterfactual considers what could have happened if events turned out better."
According to Lloyd's website, the "report aims to encourage insurers to think about risk in a different way by highlighting counterfactual analysis' potential to mitigate data bias, test model results, analyze tail risk and identify potential high impact events. It also details how counterfactual analysis can be carried out in practice and acts as a starting point for future research."
Trevor Maynard, head of innovation at Lloyd's, said, "The fact that downward counterfactual events are anchored to actual historical experience helps facilitate complex explanation, deeper understanding and more coherent communication of future risks and modelling uncertainty to board members, policyholders, policymakers, risk managers and others.'
The report states that "for catastrophe risk quantification, counterfactual risk analysis can be applied in all three core catastrophe modelling activities of a [property and casualty] P&C (re)insurer, namely pricing, capacity management and capital calibration."
According to Gordon Woo, catastrophist at RMS, "Downward counterfactual risk analysis helps address the bias that can be inherent in some models that are based on the same historical data sets. By expanding the data available based on what could have happened, these models can be built with less reliance on single-source data, which might improve their accuracy. It also provides a useful tool for regulators to stress-test catastrophe risk models."

When launching its new crispy chicken tenders for the first time, Burger King found out people already loved them. Or did they really?
It is not always easy to get people to try your new product. It is even harder to get them to love it and talk positively of it as soon as it hits the market. For Burger King, however, it was a totally different story. When the brand hit the streets of New York to launch its new Crispy Chicken Tenders, it found out they were already famous and loved, despite them having never existed before.
"I like the crispy crunch on the outside," says one. "… and the tender all-white chicken inside," answers another, when asked by a film crew about Burger King's crispy chicken tenders. The problem is that none of these people could have ever tasted the chicken tenders because they simply did not exist until now.
But as the crew found out, people are ready to say and agree with anything when on camera nowadays. The resulting video is probably one of the best expression of brand loyalty and credibility means. And a great way to officially launch the new crispy chicken tenders by Burger King.

For years, the Toronto Maple Leafs played like a franchise without a plan.
Now, in their first season under Coach Mike Babcock and General Manager Lou Lamoriello, the Leafs appear to have a blueprint for success.
"We have different systems now," said Tyler Bozak, who scored 1 minute 40 seconds after Michael Grabner in the second period to lead the Maple Leafs to a 3-1 road victory over the Islanders on Sunday night.
After going 1-7-2 in October, the Leafs are 12-7-5 in November and December. Toronto has recorded at least 1 point in seven of its last eight games (5-1-2). Over all, the Leafs are 13-14-7.
"Guys are buying in," Bozak said.
Jonathan Bernier stopped 25 shots, and James van Riemsdyk added an empty-net goal.
"It's about his confidence, it's not about my confidence," Babcock said of Bernier. "If he's confident, I'm confident. If he's not confident, I'm not confident. If he's not confident, his teammates aren't confident."
After an 0-9 start to the season, Bernier was sent to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League for a conditioning stint on Dec. 2. In four games with them, he had a 3-0-1 mark with a 1.25 goals against average and a .948 save percentage.
Thomas Greiss made 35 saves for the Islanders, who have lost four of five. The Islanders fell to 19-12-5.
Nikolay Kulemin scored the Islanders' goal, his third of the season and his first since Oct. 20.
"We weren't managing the puck well, starting with myself," said John Tavares, the Islanders' captain. "We have to be a lot better. You're not going to dominate for 60 minutes in this league, but you have to make it tough on the opponent. We just made it a little too easy. They made some plays and put us behind the 8-ball."
After a scoreless first period, Bozak scored 1:33 into the second period, his ninth goal of the season. The sequence began with Greiss stopping a shot from the slot by Roman Polak, but Greiss could not control the rebound and was alone in the right circle.
It did not take long for Toronto to build on its lead.
Grabner haunted his former team as he made the score 2-0 with his fifth goal of the season by poking a rebound of a shot by Morgan Reilly into the net at 3:13.
Toronto acquired Grabner from the Islanders during training camp. The Islanders received the prospects Taylor Beck, Matt Finn, Christopher Gibson, Tom Nilsson and Carter Verhaeghe in the trade.
"I was open to it," Grabner said of the trade. "And when I got traded, I was just trying to see it as a fresh start."
Kulemin's goal 12:30 into the third period made the score 2-1. But that was as close as the Islanders would get. Van Riemsdyk's empty-netter came with 45.3 seconds left.
The Islanders killed both of Toronto's power plays. The Islanders entered the game having killed 29 straight power plays, and 33 of the last 34 man advantages against them.
Toronto outshot the Islanders, 38-26.
"We passed up some opportunities; their defense did a good job blocking shots," Islanders Coach Jack Capuano said. "We want to shoot pucks. For whatever reason, tonight we passed up chances when we should have been shooting pucks."
Before the game, the Islanders announced that goaltender Jaroslav Halak had been placed on injured reserve, retroactive to Dec. 21, with an upper-body injury. Christopher Gibson was called up from Bridgeport of the A.H.L.
STARS 3, BLUES 0 Kari Lehtonen made 22 saves in his 33rd career shutout, Jamie Benn scored his 23rd goal of the season — the most in the N.H.L. — and Dallas beat visiting St. Louis.
Benn and Patrick Sharp each had a power-play goal and an assist. Cody Eakin scored into an empty net with 1:32 remaining.
The victory avenged Dallas' 3-2 shootout loss to the Blues in St. Louis on Saturday night. The Stars have a league-best 57 points.
The Central Division rivalry game featured two fights in the first seven seconds of the second period and a total of 38 penalty minutes.
PANTHERS 3, BLUE JACKETS 2 Aleksander Barkov had two goals as Florida took over the top spot in the Atlantic Division with a home victory over Columbus.
SENATORS 3, BRUINS 1 Mark Stone scored twice, Craig Anderson stopped 38 shots, and Ottawa beat visiting Boston. The Senators ended a two-game losing streak.
HURRICANES 2, BLACKHAWKS 1 Justin Faulk and Victor Rask scored, the backup goaltender Eddie Lack stopped 35 shots, and Carolina won at Chicago.

If you have recently installed the Adobe CS4 Master Collection and days later you received a "License for this product has expired" popup when trying to open Photoshop or other CS4 applications, this post will help you. Here is a workaround that will fix your licensing woes indefinitely
The main problem is that after a certain period of time, the AMT Licensing file refuses to allow the CS4 application to load
Apparently after reading around, it is discovered that the amtlib.dll file that is contained in each individual application folder in the CS4 Master Collection needs to be replaced with a "lifetime version" to get your product working again.
Contained in this download is the amtlib.dll file as well as a crack.bat script that will replace each old amtlib.dll file in each program folder with the "lifetime version"
There should be no need to change your serial, but a keygen that works is included if anyone needs it

Statement Against California Proposition 22, The Knight Initiative
Statement by George Durgin, GOP Candidate for California Assembly, 74th District (San Diego)
One of the most important reasons I am running for the State Assembly is that I am tired of being the silent majority; seeing our State continually bickering over partisan politics, seeing only special interests being rewarded, and Californians being ignored. California is a very unique State with a diverse population whether in the red woods in Northern California or the beaches in Southern California. I believe that it is a Legislator's responsibility to not only represent his or her district, but the overall well being of the State. In a State as diverse as ours, this can be difficult at times, but manageable.
Having spent a great deal of time studying Proposition 22, the Knight Initiative, and at peril of my own campaign, I have learned a great deal. I have spent a great deal of time talking to citizens supporting both sides of the issue, which I feel is my responsibility no matter what the issue. That is something that I have been doing since declaring my candidacy for the 74th Assembly District in January.
As a result I concur with Republican Congressman Tom Campbell that this "proposition is utterly unnecessary" and "could result in increased hate and hurt in our state". I firmly agree that "given that truth, to remain silent is unacceptable".
Congressman Campbell pointed out that "initiatives become necessary when the legislature has repeatedly failed to address an issue that calls out for action, or when the legislature has acted in a way contrary to the people's will". This issue has repeatedly been addressed in the State Legislature and has failed because it was obvious to the legislators that this was not an appropriate piece of legislation for Californians. It saddens me further to learn the motives and how this initiative was started to begin with.
Proposition 22 appears to have been prepared by unwarranted fears about one person's own family members. To bring these fears to Californians and take the chance of dividing our state, creating hate, is wrong. As a Republican, I am surprised that fellow Republicans are creating more "government control" where Republicans truly desire to lessen government control and return it to the people and in this case – our churches, where marriage is truly decided – before God.
As a Police Officer (and former Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff), Soldier, College Instructor, Labor Leader, Father, and Republican, I am voting NO on Proposition 22 and joining Republican Congressman Tom Campbell, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, San Jose Police Chief Bill Landsdowne, Republican San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts, Republican San Diego City Council Member Barbara Warden, the Los Angeles City Council, The San Diego Fair Housing Council, California State Employee Association, California Teachers Association, Service Employee International Union Locals #250, 790, & 817, Greater San Diego Business Association, San Diego Interagency Coalition, American Association of University Women of California and La Mesa, San Diego American Civil Liberties Union, League of Women Voters of California, National Organization for Women, San Diego Operation Understanding, San Diego Japanese American Citizens League, San Diego United Nations Association, San Diego Voices for Justice, Episcopal churches, Methodist churches, Unitarian churches, Interfaith Alliance of California, Pacific Association of Reform Rabbis, as well as many other individuals and organizations throughout our great State.
I encourage voters to research the issue like I did, visit www.noonknight.org or www.doma.org. Look at the Defense of Marriage Act web page, where it is said "a marriage initiative sends a clear and positive message to 'yes' vote for the protection of California's children about the future of family strength". If this is the message that is to be portrayed, then why would the author ignore his own gay brother and child?
I pray that others will learn the truth and join me in voting NO on Proposition 22.
George A. Durgin, Jr.
74th Assembly District Candidate

How to buy the best beard trimmers and hair clippers
By Patrick Gallagher
The best beard trimmers and hair clippers keep you looking smart and save a trip to the barbers. Our top tips help you pick the best from the rest.
Put us to the test
Our Test Labs compare features and prices on a range of products. Try Which? to unlock our reviews. You'll instantly be able to compare our test scores, so you can make sure you don't get stuck with a Don't Buy.
Cutting your own hair or trimming your own beard can save you the time, money and perhaps even the disappointment of a trip to the barbers. After all, what better way to get your hair and beard looking exactly how you like than by doing it yourself, right?
Well, yes and no. The best beard trimmers and hair clippers will do all this with ease, but the worst will leave you with scruffy hair or a patchy beard. Some will cut evenly, but are so imprecise that it's all too easy to take more off more than you were planning on one side, leaving you desperately struggling to even it up on the other side.
Don't risk picking up a dud – read on for our expert advice on how to buy the best hair clippers and beard trimmers. We answer the most important questions so you know how much you need to spend, the type you need, what features and settings to look out for and how easy different models are to use, clean and maintain.
If you already know what you're looking for take a look at our first look beard trimmer and hair clippers reviews, to discover what our researchers made of different models.
How much do I need to spend?
The price of hair clippers varies hugely. A basic set might only set you back £10, but professional hair clippers can cost hundreds of pounds. Factors such as brand, type and special features can all effect the price, so read on to find out what you should be looking out for.
Beard trimmers tend not to be as expensive as hair clippers – even at the high end of the market you should still get change from £100, and plenty of models cost much less. If you want both an electric shaver and a beard trimmer you might want to consider an all-in-one product, but expect to pay more.
Most electric shavers come with a pop-up trimmer, but this is more for straightening up sideburns and cleaning up the hair between your upper lip and nose than for a full beard. If you think that's all you need then read our electric shaver reviews.
What type do I need?
The main decision to make when choosing a beard trimmer or hair clippers is whether you want a cordless model. The advantage of cordless clippers and trimmers is that you can manoeuvre them easily and use them anywhere. But you'll have to remember to recharge them afterwards, or risk only having enough battery to cut half your hair or beard next time around.
You'll never have this problem with corded models, but you might find that the cord can get in the way, and you'll only be able to use them near a suitable socket.
With beard trimmers, you also need to think about whether you want to trim a full beard or simply maintain stubble. If it's the latter, you might want to consider buying a stubble trimmer, such as the Babyliss i-Stubble 789OU.
What settings and features should I look out for?
The most important thing is to choose a trimmer or clippers that will be versatile enough to cut your hair to the length you want. Some models come with different attachments, while others have a built-in setting that changes the angle of the head to achieve different cutting lengths.
The latter can be more expensive but the advantage is that you don't have to remember to pack several little bits when you go away, and they often let you adjust the length setting by mere millimetres for greater precision.
All our beard trimmer and hair clipper reviews list how many length settings the model comes with in the technical specifications section, so you can easily pick out the one that best suits your needs.
Are they easy to use, clean and maintain?
Beard trimmers and hair clippers come in all shapes and sizes, some of which are easier to use than others. It's essential that it feels secure and comfortable in your hand as this will give you more accuracy and make trimming or clipping seem like less of a chore.
If you want to get the most out of your trimmer or clipper for years to come, you'll need to lubricate the blades from time to time and make sure you clean the head after each use. Look out for products that come with lubricating oil and a cleaning brush in the box. Or, for even easier cleaning, choose a waterproof model that can be rinsed under the tap after each use.

Data De-duplication for Treasure Agent
Treasure Data supports data de-duplication via the following mechanism:
- Treasure Agent assigns a universally unique identifier (UUID) to each chunk of data.
- Treasure Agent retries whenever it detects network failure. However, this can sometimes result in the same chunk of data being sent more that once.
- When a chunk arrives, to avoid duplication, Treasure Data's API endpoint inspects the chunk's ID and discards it if it has been processed in the last 10 minutes.

Storm part ways with goaltending coach
By Tony Saxon, Guelph Today
After six years as goaltending coach with the Guelph Storm, Matt Smith and the team have parted ways.
Smith said there are no hard feelings, it's just a matter of not being able to make the time commitment the job requires as he needs to focus on his business and family.
"I would have loved to have worked something out with the Storm and continued, but people forget how much time and effort goes into being a goalie coach at this level, and for very limited money," said Smith, who operates a goaltending school in Cambridge.
"I just need to spend a little bit more time on the business side and with family and friends … I just don't think it would have been fair for me to continue with the organization, but i have nothing but positive things to say about the organization.
"I was here for six years and I'm pretty proud of the work we did."
Smith joined the Storm as a 22-year-old, hired by Mike Kelly.
"I'm just grateful for the opportunity," he said.
Storm coach/general manager George Burnett said their were no hard feelings.
"We met at the end of our season and went through our discussions and we've agreed to go in different directions, both ot us," Burnett said.
"No ill will. Matt works hard and did a good job."

Product Announcement – ProtectStar Inc. of Miami, Florida has released Camera Guard Professional 2017, the company's new safety software solution for macOS. Camera Guard Professional ensures that no hacker, spy or malware can observe you or listen in on you. With just one single click, not only the camera, but also the microphone will be completely protected.
The app brings back privacy at the work place and in the children's room at home with a single click. It is an uncompromising, unprecedented solution, specifically protecting the webcam and microphone of iMacs and MacBooks.
When Camera Guard is installed, a single click is enough in order to secure the camera and microphone. This safety tool from then on reports all applications and processes that try to gain access to the camera and microphone. The user then decides if they wish to allow access to the eyes and ears of the Mac Computer. Or alternatively, not allow access. All accesses and warnings are protocolled in a log file.
The personal settings of the Camera Guard are also protected by a PIN number which is equipped with special hacker protection in order to prevent the software itself from being manipulated.
At the core of Camera Guard is the intelligent Deep Detective. This detective not only recognizes well known malware (for example the Backdoor.MAC.Eleanor, which specifically takes over the control of the integrated webcam), it also identifies attacks of previously unknown malware. Just like an alarm system or personal firewall, all attacks from hackers, spies and trojans are detected and blocked using heuristic methods. At the same time the software uses minimal system resources.
After the NSA documents from the archive of the whistleblower Edward Snowden became public, it was clear: Not only data thieves and computer scammers are interested in invading the privacy of the user. Also secret services use every possibility at their disposal to gain access. Taking over the computer webcam or the built in microphone from afar is no longer just science fiction.
Supported Languages: German and English
System Requirements
- Mac OS 10.11 or higher (OS X El Capitan, macOS Sierra)
- 30 MB free hard drive space
- Internet connection for updates and activation
Camera Guard Professional 2017 offers protection of the microphone, the Deep Detective, protection against well-known and unknown access attempts, a protocol in a log file, password protection and a 24/7 support via email. The pro-version costs just $29.90 (USD) and is available from the website. There is also a free version of Camera Guard available that offers protection of the webcam and safety information over accesses.

love | columbus, ohio newborn photographer
Coming home with your first baby is such an out of body experience. Really, you could insert any and every word in to describe the experience. Gosh, I can't think of a single word that could encompass all of my emotions the day we brought my son home. I could say the same for when we brought my daughter home. I can give you one word to describe what I felt when I walked in the door to photograph this little lady. Love. It was undeniable. Their love as a couple. Their love for that gorgeous little girl. I get wrapped up in the trials of being a stay at home mom of two. Its hard. I tell you what, though, walking through the door of their gorgeous house, reminded me of the love. It was like a great big 'ol warm hug. Love.

During September's KBG Bar reading, Victor LaValle took some time after he had read from his book, The Devil in Silver, to get his picture taken with his son's favorite picture book, Charlie Parker Played Beboop by Chris Raschka.
A friend gave me Charlie Parker Played Bebop by Chris Raschka as gift for my fifteen-month old son. At first I wasn't sure how this book would go down. I thought that since jazz can sometimes be atonal and ambitious even a book about a jazz musician would require a more sophisticated palette than the one my kid had formed so far. Nevertheless, the friend was quite smart and had a daughter of her own and swore Charlie Parker… was one of her child's favorites. My wife and I gave it a shot.
If you know this book, then you already know that I'm an idiot. My fears were baseless. Chris Raschka is a crazily gifted artist, one who charmed my son, my wife, and me right from the jump. The book manages to sound like bebop even as it tells you some essential facts about Charlie Parker. For instance, that he played be bop. Every day now our son picks this book up, walks toward me or my wife, shouting,"Be ba! Be ba!" The smile on his face is as beautiful to me as Charlie Parker's music.
Be sure to check out the last Photo of the Week with Kam Mak. Happy Reading!

I was raised within the Anglosphere, so naturally my preference — and the bias of Traveller — is for a naval 'empire of bases'.
But there is an alternative: instead of ships sailing the black desert of space, you can have wormholes or gateways (orbiting, or ground-based) from one world to another. This is a lot more friendly to land-based empires and their love of long railways… including both the declining land empire of Russia, and the rising land empire of China.
Now, I personally don't think that China can become a real competitor to the US. Still, they are useful as an alternate model of modern empire-building.
An empire of bases and an empire of railways are grounded in the same thing — cheap transport, easy trade — but feels different.
Transport analyst Dr. Ruth Banomyong thinks the economic benefits of a modern railway network are now too tempting for many poorer Southeast Asian countries to pass up.
"High speed rail is very expensive and none of the countries – Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, or Cambodia – can really afford one," Banomyong, who is a professor at Bangkok's Thammasat University, told DW.
Whenever the Emperor offers a generous, broad-minded Imperial Donation, it pays to sniff out all the strings attached. Not just the troop transport possibilities or the interest on those generous loans, but the maintenance contracts, technology barriers… even the exact identities of those receiving the under-the-table kickbacks.
Not that a poor backward nation/world/pocket empire can afford to be choosy. But, it's nice to have your eyes wide open before you sign on the dotted line: fewer Unpleasant Surprises or Altered Agreements, and a better chance to head off trouble before it comes to a head.
He added that there is also a question mark over the cost of the proposed route through Thailand, a middle income country. Although the costs for the whole project haven't been revealed, the Thai section alone is estimated to be worth 20 billion euros ($23 billion.)
Construction has already finished on the Vietnam stretch of the rail link, while work got underway last December to connect landlocked Laos to Kunming.
China is also bidding to build high speed railway lines in India and has proposed a direct rail link to the Iranian capital, Tehran.
The rail route between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur already exists but the contract to upgrade to high-speed lines is expected to be taken by the end of the year. Local media reports suggest that Singapore prefers a Japanese or European bidder but Malaysia favors a Chinese firm.
I admire Singapore's government — imagine a single high-integrity/high-pop/high-tech/high-law system in a sea of empty voids and low-integrity/high-pop/low-tech/low-law worlds — but I doubt that they will be able to get away from the Big Man of the Neighborhood (sector after sector after sector of low-integrity/high-pop/mid-tech/high-law systems… with an triple-helping of pollution.)
All three powers — Japan, Europe, and China — are aging rapidly: but both Japan and Europe are well along their Inward Turn, while China is still in an expansionist mood. I have no doubt that China will turn inward as well (too many old people, not enough money), but not just yet.
Genetically, most Singaporeans are the children of the Chinese Empire; but in their spirit, they bear a strong resemblance to the (1950s-style) British Empire, 'complete with caning'. Interesting. You can probably set up a similar situation with a pro-Imperial, racially Solomani world, somewhere near both major interstellar powers…
P.S.: A different take on the railway motif is from Issac Arthur's Interstellar Highways video. Not my vision of the future, but certainly a possibility.
P.P.S.: You can now take the rail from London to Beijing for a bit more than $1100 (2017 prices). A true Traveller adventure!
And for the traders in the audience:
THE WORLD'S first China to Britain freight train has set off loaded with millions of socks – as part of its drive to develop trade and investment ties with Europe.
The 7,500-mile journey by a China Railway Corporation train will passes through seven countries in order to reach London in just 18 days.
Laugh if you want, but a profit is a profit. But I admit, there isn't much high adventure shipping socks around, so you might as well leave it to the megacorporations, who are used to squeezing tiny margins of profit from bulk shipping.

Soups traditionally are high in sodium—but they're also a very popular menu item at the four McKay-Dee Hospital locations in Ogden, Utah, says Kathleen Nielsen, north region director of food and nutrition. To give customers and patients a healthier, lower-sodium minestrone, she "cleaned up" a speed-scratch version. The hospital's Kale & Quinoa Minestrone features about half the salt content of the original, though it doesn't broadcast that fact. "Customers love it," she says. "The main thing [is] we don't call it low-sodium minestrone. People wouldn't try it."
1. Diluted broth
McKay-Dee's cooks created several recipes for the hospital's Live Well program, including a LW Chicken Broth that is a key ingredient in several menu items. "Live Well simply means better for you," Nielsen says. For the minestrone base, the kitchen adds extra water to the broth concentrate, which reduces sodium without noticeably changing the taste. Adding a little sugar brings out the flavor of the vegetables.
2. Quinoa
Quinoa provides a high-protein filler compared to pasta, and the canned garbanzo and great Northern beans Nielsen specs for the soup are lower in salt. A variety of fresh vegetables, including zucchini, kale and green beans, brighten the flavor and create a colorful dish—a key selling point for a healthier item, she says.
3. Fresh herbs
"We usually have the prep team chop all the ingredients, but for this soup, we have the cooks chop fresh rosemary and thyme to add at the very end. It makes the flavors in the soup really bloom," says Nielsen. The soup is dished up at McKay-Dee's retail cafes and is available on the room-service menu for patients.

For bookings and more information call:
Located in south-eastern France, 100km south of Lyon and 130km north of Avignon, Valence sits on the left bank of the Rhône River, which is just across the A7 motorway from the Kyriad Valence North Hotel. This small city of about 67,000 is the capital of the Drôme department in the Rhône-Alps region of France. Valence has a long history, dating all the way back to the Roman Empire, and has been occupied by many populations throughout its existence.
Valence became a Roman colony under Emperor Augustus, and remained under the control of the Romans until the 5th century. Between the 5th and 6th centuries, the Goths, the Alans and then the Burgundians controlled Valence. The Burgundians lost control of the city in 534, after which Valence was successively occupied by the Franks, Arabs from Spain, sovereigns from Arles, rulers from the Holy Roman Empire, as well as local counts and bishops, before joining France in 1446.

The Five Layers of Identity
Identities are complicated. Getting to know someone well takes time and effort. When you first meet someone new, you ask a lot of questions to understand who they are and how you should relate to them. Social context also provides many cues for us as individuals. As relationships deepen, the nuance of individual personalities becomes revealed to us as we probe deeper, and also create shared experiences with others.

Celebrities Who Cheated With Their Nanny
If you think that Gavin Rossdale is the only celebrity who cheated with their nanny, think again because you might be surprised about other big-time celebrities who did the thing before ex-Mr. Gwen Stefani. Hired help have caused many celebrity couples to call off their marriages. Recently, Gavin Rossdale has been accused of sleeping with their nanny, Mindy Mann. According to reports, this happened right under Gwen Stefani's nose. UsWeekly has also reported that the affair has been going on for three years. The report also stated that Stefani only found out after the iPhone of Rossdale was synched to their family iPad. That led to naked pictures and explicit texts being revealed. Technology can really be such a pain in the neck sometimes. If not for synching the 'No Doubt' vocalist probably would not have known about this affair.
Rossdale is definitely not the first and only celebrity to allegedly do such unfaithful actions with their nannies. Here are 7 more celebrities who cheated with their hired help:
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver had a long relationship that ended back in 2011. The former Governor of California got his marriage terminated and got the "Hasta la vista" treatment after confessing that he had an affair and a lovechild with Mildred Baena, their housekeeper.
Robin Williams
According to reports, back in 1988, the funny man cheated with their nanny Marsha Garces while he was married to Valerie Velardi. By 1989, Williams and Garces ended up marrying each other. Their relationship lasted until 2010.
David Beckham
The legendary soccer player also cheated on his wife. Beckham had an affair with Rebecca Loos, their assistant. Even Posh Spice couldn't keep his man faithful. Loos was the one who went public and shared her side, even mentioning that they had twice a week "text sex" interaction. Well, you probably couldn't blame Loos because David Beckham is one of the richest and most handsome athletes in the world!
Ben Affleck
According to reports, Affleck had an affair with hired help Christine Ouzounian. This allegedly happened while he was still with his Daredevil co-star and ex-wife Jennifer Garner. The newest actor to play Batman denied the affair but there are lots of public pictures of him and Ouzounian together. Earlier this year, Gardner and Affleck filed for divorce. Daredevil and Elektra never got their happily ever after in real life.
Ethan Hawke
Back in 2004, Ethan Hawke allegedly cheated on former wife Uma Thurman. Hawke reportedly had an affair with Ryan Shawhughes, their nanny. Hawke vehemently denied all of the accusations thrown against him. However, Hawke and Shawhughes eventually got married four years later.
Mick Jagger
According to his biography, Mick Jagger had an affair with their nanny under supermodel Jerry Hall's nose. What can you expect from a rock superstar and legend, right? Rockers usually go with sex, drugs and rock and roll anyways!
Jude Law
Jude Law played the titular role "Alfie". The playboy "Alfie" had lots of women swooning over him. However, it seemed like he adapted Alfie's philandering ways in real life as he slept with nanny Daisy Wright. Because of this incident, Law publicly apologized to his wife, actress Sienna Miller.
When you come to think of it, these actors had very hot wives when they did their unfaithful acts. Their celebrity wives, at some point, were no match for their nannies. Temptation must have been strong inside their households.

This past week, our formula team went up to Lafayette College to present our plan for our car including our goals, new materials we were using, new methods we were doing, and how these implications would better our car.
The presentation wasn't just for formula cars, but also for other types of cars and planes as well. Penn State, for example, had two teams presenting a plane that they want to build for next year and the other team showed their Baja car that they have been working on.
This is Zach, the lead designer for our car's brakes. He talked about how he was able to make more efficient brakes using a design method a little bit more different so that there could be no warping on the brakes. He also talked about the factor of safety and the new features that the brakes could perform.
Presentation night was new to me so it was pretty interesting to see how each team's idea for building their car or plane. Our revealing of the car is this Friday and although we are not completely done with the car, we have been on track with most things and will be ready by competition.

Endemol North America's digital network, Endemol Beyond USA, has added new talent to its team. TV producer-director Rico Martinez has joined the company as its new chief programming officer.
Martinez will be in charge of Endemol Beyond USA's content and programming with an emphasis on comedy, scripted originals, music, and reality. As such, he'll be helping some of the company's talent like Pitbull, beauty YouTuber Michelle Phan, and Viner Brittany Furlan create premium content for their fans. Working out of the company's Los Angeles office, Martinez will report to its president, Will Keenan.
"Rico is one of the few people in the entertainment industry right now who has producing experience with television geared towards a younger demographic combined with real credibility and success in the digital space," Keenan told Variety in their exclusive coverage of the hire.
Martinez comes to Endemol with substantial experience in writing, producing, and directing both digital and traditional TV properties. Online, he has experience working with Maker Studios. He was an executive producer and director for Oh, You Pretty Things!, created in partnership with Nylon TV. He also produced, wrote, and directed the series In Transition starring Maker partner and comedienne Margaret Cho. Before that, he worked on shows at MTV, VH1, NBC, Fox, Oxygen, A&E, The History Channel, and more.
Martinez is just one of many recent hires Endemol's announced within the past year. As such, we're expecting to see the company roll out a lot more initiatives and content very soon.

Hi everyone, I'm Brian McQuaig. Why do pro athletes and movie stars make the big bucks while teachers still make far less? Does it have anything to do with WHAT they do? Or could something else be at play?
LeBron James makes about $500,000 a week. Ouch. But the average public school teacher makes about $960 a week (50k a year) while the average private school teacher makes about $769 a week (40k a year) Don't worry about the private school teachers…they have better benefits than public teachers in most cases so it evens out.
More on why pro athletes make so much more money later. Right now, let's discuss teachers.
Teachers operate in the same job market as the rest of us – RIGHT? Well, for the most part, that is true. However, let's consider some special factors about teachers in general and public school teachers specifically.
Public schools (from this point forward referred to as 'Government Schools') are a monopoly. The government runs them and unless you fight like hell for home schooling or the semi-free alternative like Charter Schools you have no alternatives. But the main thing that happens when a market has a monopoly player is:
- There is no competition, therefore no incentive for putting out a good product.
- Monopolies tend to grow in management and not the actual skilled workers…that is, they become top-heavy. Actual workers & the service they provide become secondary.
- Workers who have a specific skill for that monopolized market have only one place to go to sell their skills. They have no power during the negotiation of a salary. Take it or leave it.
So…Government Schools being a monopoly explains – at least partially – why teachers don't make much and that their product quality is poor. In this case, "product quality" would be the education of the children in their charge. Most free market incentives have been short-circuited by this monopoly and the teachers unions that exist (IMHO) to counteract the monopolistic nature of Government Schools. Teachers unions either knowingly or unknowingly make a bad situation worse because unions NEVER focus on product quality but on their constituency…in this case teachers. But that is a future subject for the more politically-centered series, Pushing Back, not Splinter.
Getting back to why teacher's salaries are low and pro athlete's salaries are high…we get to the Splinter of knowledge I want you to walk away from this video with:
Strip away the government & unions and teacher's salaries would still be low in comparison to a pro athlete's. Why?
Salaries are nothing more than prices for a service and that price is subject to simple economic theories of supply & demand.
Linda Gorman in The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics has an excellent article you should read. In it, you will learn the many factors that go into setting teacher salary. And what you will learn…as is typical…is that the government screws up everything it touches. But even if it didn't, market theory would still apply:
Basic Supply & Demand
- LeBron James has a special talent that only a handful of people can do.
- Anyone with a degree can get a teaching certificate.
Return on Investment
- Pro athletes start their craft from childhood.
- It takes a short time to become proficient as a teacher in a specific field.
Wealth Generation
Pro athletes bring in the bucks in attendance and sports broadcasting deals.
While teachers do something much more important than bring in bucks, Government Schools are "free". And as we've seen many times before, the lack of a profit incentive is what makes socialism fail to outperform capitalism consistently. BTW, schools only seem free because your local, state & federal governments steal that money before you can use it to pay for a private school.
Length of Service In Career
- A pro athlete's average career spans less than 5 years.
- Teaching is a lifetime career.
Opportunity For Income Enhancement
- Pro athletes – in many cases – have 'celebrity'. This gives them opportunity to make money when the season is over.
- Teachers work 180 days per year on average. Their only opportunities for extra pay is to further their education (which normally increases their base salary) or teach summer school.
The disparity between pro athletic salaries VS. teacher's salaries becomes crystal clear when:
- You think of salary as the cost an employer pays to get a given skill.
- You think of salary as a PRICE like purchasing food.
- Like the price you'd pay for a pineapple (which are scarce & expensive to grow/ship, therefore expensive) VS. an orange (which are plentiful & inexpensive to grow/ship, therefore inexpensive)
- You think of teachers like you think of any other job.
- Especially when you strip away the government & union interference with normal economic forces.
Is what teachers do in their lifetimes more important than what a pro athlete does in their lifetime? In terms of contributions to their community: most certainly. Teachers do not get into teaching to make bank, they do so to make a difference to humanity. I don't make anything doing these videos but I do so because I want to make a difference. And lacking any other incentive, teachers do it because they want their lives to mean something more than selling rental cars, underwear or horse liniment.
Thanks for watching…seeya next time!

Helping Those in Transition: Coaching for Career and Life
"Domestic violence ... has no age discrimination, it has no color, it has no sense of economic structure. It affects everybody."
In this episode, Judithe speaks with Kay Kunda Musonda, a career/life coach focusing on people in transition, such as homeless men and women, survivors of domestic violence, immigrants, and other underserved populations. Kunda focuses on helping people envision different futures for themselves during difficult times and then taking actionable steps to bring themselves to those futures. The idea is to dream a dream and then live into it.
"You have to [support] people to tap into themselves, to believe in themselves. It's [about creating the space] to help them realize that they're so much more than their circumstance."

It was 17° upon arrival to work today. We didn't open the range until eleven and only one player braved the weather for eighteen holes of fun.
My pipes must have come close to freezing last night. Plenty of air in the system. After flushing the toilet, an ear splitting shriek supplanted the usual bowl-filling rush of water. I'll leave the water slightly running tonight to prevent a repeat.

"Where are you from?"
It's a question we get asked frequently in American Samoa, and really, anywhere we've traveled outside of the US. Over the past few years, I've felt less pride in claiming the United States of America as my home. I feel some guilt. I also feel justified by the repugnant, hateful, and combative culture which seems to have overtaken Mainstream America.
We've come across terms such as "citizen of the world" and "third culture kids" to replace the need to claim a certain country or region. Instead, we find ourselves claiming Planet Earth as our home.
Disgusted and Done
One year ago, the kids and I boarded a plane that would take us across the Pacific Ocean, to join Nate in a place far from our home. Don't get me wrong, I love our country. I love all that it stands for. But I was sick of being surrounded by hateful and hypocritical rhetoric being spewed by everyone from age nine to ninety-nine. I was tired of the box that had been constructed to hold everyone in, trying to force us all to follow the crowd. And I was desperate to ensure that our kids would know the world, not just Almighty America. And so we said good-bye to land of our birth, without any intention of returning within the foreseeable future.
Away from It All
I have loved our year in American Samoa, even though it's a US territory, people rarely talk about DC politics and there is a general sense of autonomy here. While life here isn't perfect, it's the escape we were looking for. People ask us where we plan to move next,after our two-year contract is over. "Anywhere, there's a whole, big world out there! Anywhere, except where we've been."
Still Proud to Be an American
A few days ago, on July 4th, we attended the Independence Day Celebration. Hadley performed the hula with her dance group (which was awesome, in case you were wondering, so proud of my island girl!). After which, there was a musical guest, Tenelle, and plenty of island vibe. It was like no 4th of July celebration I had ever been to. It did end with a fireworks show. Of course, you say? These were the first fireworks on the island in 5-10 years (depending on who you ask).
As I sat there, surrounded by my kids, watching fireworks exploding over the water, listening to the most authentic responses from this crowd of Samoans, who were genuinely in awe of the display, the song by Lee Greenwood, "Proud to Be an American", came in to my head. In that moment, I saw past the dishonest and dishonorable politicians, the fear-mongering, the cold, loveless indifference, and the superficial priorities of our country.
I thought about the American people who lift each other up; the ones who cooperate to bring innovation and love to the world. I remembered the quality teachers who work to guide the youth, the doctors and nurses who save lives and restore quality of life, the service men and women who promise to give their all, the ordinary people who care about their neighbors and work hard to build up their communities. Suddenly, I felt more patriotic pride than I have in a long time. The line, "that flag still stands for freedom and they cant take that away" somehow meant more.
I'm American, but America Is Not My Home
My mind is still set upon taking my family to explore and discover what else this world has to offer. I still have no desire to get in the middle of any of the myriad of political debates. And I'm still totally open to the idea that our family might, one day, find a place where we feel completely at home, where we want to settle down long-term, that just might be outside the Good Ole' US of A. But I also feel a renewed determination to stand up, alongside the kind, conscientious, and purposeful citizens of our country. If the world only sees the corrupt, pompous, or mean-hearted, that's all they'll associate us with. But if more of us can work hard to be unprejudiced, open-minded, welcoming, and interested in the greater good, then we might still have a chance of showing what our country still stands for.
So next time someone asks me, "Where are you from?" I'm going to swallow that feeling of embarrassment down and prove to myself, and to the world, being an American can still be a good thing.

The task
Preparing your presentation
It's never safe to assume prior knowledge of your research topic, so start your talk with a short general introduction to the subject area. Follow this with a more focused look at your own research, highlighting collaboration with other researchers. Authenticity is important so be honest about things you tried which may have pushed you off onto unexpected directions. Talk about your results and how these fit within the wider context of the field. End by briefly indicating future directions for your research before inviting the audience to ask questions.
It is important to pitch your talk correctly. If it is too technical or specialised then your audience will lose interest so avoid obscure terminology, references and above all, acronyms. Similarly if you dumb it down too much, they may feel patronised. Your audience may have a good general background but may not be familiar with all of the terminology and methodologies you use.
Only extremely experienced speakers can pull off an unprepared presentation. Don't risk it - this is too important. Practice your presentation beforehand, preferably to colleagues.
Questions and answers
At the end of the talk there is usually 20 minutes or so for the audience to ask questions. If your talk has engaged the audience then this session may be a lively affair.
If you get asked any seemingly controversial questions, or perceive yourself to be on the end of some aggressive questioning - do not panic. The questioner is not trying to undermine you or make you look foolish, but just giving you an opportunity to justify your ideas. Academics love a hearty debate. So keep your cool, take a moment, smile and then make your case. Be honest and enthusiastic about your work, and at the end of the question and answer session thank the audience for coming to hear your talk.

Shaun Goater hailed a debut victory as Ilkeston manager this afternoon and called for more of the same from his players as they battle against the drop.
The Robins earned their first win since October 22 thanks to Dexter Atkinson's early goal and began Goater's reign in the perfect fashion.
And although the match wasn't a pretty one in terms of quality, it will matter little to Goater who paid tribute to his young squad.
He said: "I said to them that they have to remember this feeling of being shattered at the end of a game but it being one they've taken a win from, as you don't win games without having put in that kind of effort.
"I hadn't had long to work with the players but everyone did what was asked of them. Now it's about producing that kind of effort in all of the remaining games as we'll need to."
Key for Goater now is continuing the momentum when Ilkeston host Hednesford Town on Tuesday night, aiming to make it three games unbeaten as they try and claw their way towards safety.
He added: "Today is a great feeling but it starts again at 0-0 on Tuesday and we have to work hard between now and then.
"There were some issues with our decision making today which we'll need to address as once or twice we chose the wrong options but overall I'm delighted to have got a win.
"It remains the case that we need some more height in the team as it's something we lack right now, but the players I have now showed me how much they want to be part of this team and that's pleasing."

up for such a service?
by admin on Jun.24, 2009, under Storage
Consumer On-line Technical Service – would you sign-up for such a service?
Whenever I have a problem with my home personal computer, I always wish I could just call an on-line technical service person, just like I can do at the office. Using a network management software application, they can look at my system remotely and help solve my problem. If I provide permission, they can take over my system and make the changes that are required to fix my problem. I know there are various services to help consumers with their home PC problems, but only a few that offer this type of on-line technical service nationally. Of course, there are various security issues and logistics, but now as more system management technology such a Intel® vPro™ technology has been used by business, this is starting to look like it might grow for consumer use. What are your thoughts on this type of service for consumers? Do you think more consumer will begin to sign-up for on-line technical service? Would you?

Recently, my partner in crime and I took some time in Orlando. Good occasion to grill your skin, run some flat roads and visit the some theme parks (better than racing them)! But getting around is difficult, so, we needed a car. So, I decided to search for the best deal. I used to take enterprise to rent a car. Easy and convenient, it also worked and never tried to screw me with any special deal. But as a member of the American Auto Association, I looked at the potential opportunities and found out that they offer good deals for renting a car with Hertz.
Let's compare the deal: for a basic car (Kia Forte), Enterprise charged about $25/day whereas the AAA/Hertz deal proposed $16/day. So, why not give a try to take advantage of my membership? I booked the car online, the total for renting the car for 3 days was about $85 with taxes, insurance and all the additional costs. I never received any confirmation by e-mail. Never mind I thought they will find my reservation when I pick up the car. And worst-case scenario: I can always show up the Enterprise office at the airport.
Once I got to the airport, I was received by a screen when an operator guide you through the renting process using a camera. No "real human", just a camera. This makes the process not really human-friendly and weird. But after all, why not taking advantage of the new technologies? Once I got there, the guy asked me some questions and showed me the quote. Total: $250.
I said this was not what I got and it turned out that the agent upgraded me from a Kia Forte to a sport/muscle car (Dodge Charger). Needless to say, it increased the price significantly. He also automatically add the insurance and the gas refill because "it is for your best interest". In other words, the agent took the freedom to replace the complete quote I made online. Of course, I asked to stick to the quote but told me he was not able to find the quote (even if he got all my personal details using my credit card number). After changing the car type, the quote went down to $150. After wondering why I still have the gas refill even if I did not ask for it, he argued that "it was for my best interest". Loving all the consideration I got for me, I asked to remove it and the quote was finally $100. Not the initial quote but a good discount considering the first one.
After signing the documents and waiting for the instructions, I was finally able to get the car. Once on board and driving my Kia Forte, I was not sure if I made the right choice for not taking the muscle car. On the other hand, I was sure about two things:
- stop to use Hertz and the aaa discount and stick to what used to work.
- report the issue to consumer association (such as consumer reports) and potentially to aaa, that might be interested to know that their partners do not honor their offers
