What Makes a Great Skydiving Experience?
Want to experience a blast of real thrill? Have you tried skydiving?
Skydiving is a fantastic adventure sport that truly introduces you to the scariest pleasure. Be it the first time you are stepping out of the plane or have tried it several times; skydiving comes with increased excitement and fear too while even thinking of doing so.
But do you know, by making prior preparations you can boost up your experience to the next level! Yes, there are particular things you need to include in your checklist before starting with skydiving.
Just as other adventure sports require preparations, skydiving too needs the same before you finally approach to the big day and today, we shall make a quick view of the checklist.
Things to check on to make your skydiving experience great
· Are you mentally prepared?
There are many people who think they would easily step out of the plane, but they actually fail to do so when the time comes. No doubt, during the training you are provided with each and every situation and things that would matter at the time. But sometimes, the activity can be more challenging.
There are many divers who have freaked out at the time of diving out during the fall. Hence, before the day arrives, start preparing yourself mentally. Skydiving is definitely scary, but it is much helpful for a healthy face too. Speak to yourself that you are brave and adventurous for mental and physical preparations.
Things you are worried about might happen, you might have a stomach drop, and you might feel smooth and soft while landing and much more would be running in your mind. So, prepare yourself mentally to explore the activity as much as possible adventurously.
· What are you going to wear
What are you thinking to wear while you will fly in the sky? Don't worry; you don't have to wear layers of clothes for this. All you need to wear is a comfortable bottom with tennis shoes that come with tight laces.
Make sure you avoid loose shoes as the strong wind might grab them from your feet. Coming to the pants, wear pants or shorts you prefer to wear while visiting the gym. It would provide you with more room to move. The top you choose should also be snugly fitted. Get more tips on what to wear for skydiving here.
Again, during the warm season, make sure you carry long sleeve top. Lastly, wear something that doesn't contain any kind of strings, rhinestones, metal grommets, or any kind of decorative things that might disturb you while you are with the wind up there.
· Don't need to skip your meals
A big mistake made by most of the first-time divers is to avoid meals before going for skydiving. Turning for the activity with a full stomach or a completely empty one is surely a bad idea. Before going for skydiving, it is important to eat sensibly, moderately and normally too.
If you don't eat anything while diving the blood sugar would be bottoming out which would make you uncomfortable. Similarly, if you are with a full stomach, the blood supply would churn around the abdomen trying to process the food.
So, the best option is to have something light and healthy like a smoothie with high-calorie levels, or any such light ingredients or something available at the store there.
· Make it your landmark event
Definitely, for the first-time divers, this is going to be the most memorable event of their lives. So, why not enjoy it with utmost joy and excitement! For making it a landmark event, get more and more photos and videos talking about the process, journey, and your expectations. You can also do a little research on different Skydiving Dropzones and talk about why you picked the one you chose.
Capture the moments and the sights. If possible, try to plan a complete day for the activity. You have never done anything such exciting before. So, let your first jump be the beginning of a new journey in your life. Welcome the landmark event with open arms.
Get your diving filmed where you share your experience. This would be proof of the excitement and thrill you have experienced while diving.
· Be a questionnaire
Whether you are new to skydiving or have tried it before, being a questionnaire is surely not a bad thing. Before going for the diving, ask every question that disturbs your mind. Also, while looking for any skydiving school, make proper research before finalizing one.
Talk to the instructors, students there, etc. and know whether they are licensed and best in their work and training. Again, don't be too excited about diving. Select the right style for diving that would be suitable for you.
Ask the instructors about the style if you are too confused with it. Make sure you don't jump with a confused mind. Be clear on a lucky day to enjoy the diving thoroughly.
· Share your experience
Last but not least, sharing the experience you had while diving is the best way to make your diving experience more memorable. Sharing the event with your friends and family would enrich your life.
Explain to them and tell them the excitement you had at that time. Tell them how the butterflies were running in your stomach and how you overcame your fear by diving from the plane. Doing so would help you know your mistakes if any and help you with an improved diving experience.
Again, hearing the experience of your other friends who have been through the activity would help you in improving your diving experience. This would also boost you for going for skydiving again for adding to the experience list.
While going for skydiving, the jumpers also need to have a keen interest in the physical safety equipment before and at the time of diving.
At the time of diving for the first time, you might be a little conscious about the safety procedure, however, as your experience increases, you might become less careful which can prove to be harmful.
So, make sure you have gone through all the required safety procedures before diving anytime. Happy diving!

Automatically migrate old merge request diffs to object storage - take two
What does this MR do?
This is like !25432 (merged) , but attempts to avoid a difficult scheduler that scans the
merge_request_diffs worker by enqueuing migration operations in response to actions taken by the user (close an MR, merge an MR, push to an MR).
This means we lose the "after 7 days" part of the spec, but also means we can provide most of the requested feature without too much difficulty.
- On push
- On merge
- On close
@jramsay @DowueM @NikolayS WDYT to this alternative approach? The code is still quite shaky, and I've not tackled the "on push" case yet (I'm guessing we just need to touch
MergeRequests::UpdateService), but it definitely means we drop the 7-day cutoff. There's been basically no movement on the other MR for a fortnight, and I'm concerned that it could miss %11.10 as-is.
What are the relevant issue numbers?
Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
- Changelog entry added, if necessary
- Documentation created/updated via this MR
- Documentation reviewed by technical writer or follow-up review issue created
- Tests added for this feature/bug
- Tested in all supported browsers
- Conforms to the code review guidelines
- Conforms to the merge request performance guidelines
- Conforms to the style guides
- Conforms to the database guides
- Link to e2e tests MR added if this MR has Requires e2e tests label. See the Test Planning Process.
- Security reports checked/validated by reviewer
Closes #54670 (closed)

Remember the childhood story about Little Red Riding Hood? The villain, a.k.a. the wolf, locked grandma in the closet, put on granny's nightie and night cap, and pretended to be grandma tucked into bed when Red showed up. But Red was not fooled by the wolf. Something just wasn't right. Red was smart to challenge the wolf, suggesting that his eyes, ears and teeth did not look quite right to be her grandma. Ultimately Red was not tricked by the wolf and Grandma was freed. (Full disclosure, some versions of the tale take a dark turn, but we are focused on the happy ending.)
Times have changed. The villains today are identity thieves. Like the wolf, who was simply looking for a tasty but ill-gotten meal, identity thieves have a single goal to steal your money. And like the wolf, identity thieves masquerade as people you trust in order to do you harm, delivering malicious links or attachments via email and text messages. Known as phishing, these scams rely on your inability to spot the sender as a fraudster to trick you into handing over what they treasure most -- your personally identifiable information.
One of the latest phishing scams targets the valuable PII associated with your paycheck. You can be like Little Red Riding Hood by outsmarting your villain – challenge any request for personally identifiable information, even if it looks like the request comes from someone you trust.
The Payroll Angle
The personally identifiable information associated with your paycheck includes Social Security numbers, addresses, birthdates and, most importantly, bank account numbers used for direct deposit of your check. The fraudster masquerades as your employer's Human Resources (HR) or payroll department and contacts you and other employees directly via email. As part of the scam, you will be asked to enter, update or confirm your personally identifiable information, either by clicking a link to a dummy website or by responding to the phishing email directly.
The scammer's goal is to obtain your direct deposit bank account information. They then use that information to redirect your pay into a different bank account that they can access. Employers may first become aware of this scam when employees start complaining that their pay is missing, at which time the money is already gone.
Variations of Payroll Phishing Scam
A payroll or direct deposit phishing attempt is a type of Business Email Compromise (BEC), or a hoax in which the attacker gains access to a corporate email account and assumes the owner's identity to defraud the company or its employees, customers or partners of money. Creative criminals have multiple variations of defrauding folks with a payroll or direct deposit-related scam.
For companies that use a third-party payroll vendor, an employee can be lured to a spoofed website (a fake site designed to resemble the actual third-party's site), where they are asked to provide login credentials, which the scammer collects for their own use. In another variation, the fraudster gains control of or spoofs an employee's email account, then contacts the payroll vendor to request a password change for an online payroll portal.
Because this particular scam involves payroll, employees are more likely to respond in an effort to avoid having their regular pay interrupted.
"Stealing paychecks hits people where it hurts," said Trevor Buxton, Fraud Communications Manager and Certified Fraud Examiner with PNC Security. "Having awareness of this particular scam, and knowing how to spot it, is the best way to ensure the villains don't get paid for your hard work."
Don't Take the Bait
As with all phishing campaigns, the email or text message involved often share certain tell-tale features hinting that they are fake:
- Misspellings
- Grammatical errors
- Offers of fantastic prizes
- A sense of urgency
- Request for personally identifiable information (PII)
- Request for User IDs and Passwords
- Threats with consequences
- Specific demands
Fortunately, there are things that can help individuals and small businesses detect and avoid a phish:
- Hover the cursor over the sender's email address, which should bring up a "mouseover" box containing the sender's actual email address. Inspect it for irregularities that could signal signs of spoofing.
- Use email's "forward" feature rather than "reply." "Forward" forces the user to type in a known and trusted email address, whereas "reply" will respond directly to the phisher.
- In a suspected phish, do not click links or respond to a text message requesting personal or financial information like credit card numbers, Social Security numbers or other banking information. It is best practice to contact the company directly by typing in a known URL address into your Internet browser and not use information contained in the suspect email/text.
- Do not open attachments in a suspected phish.
- Do not call phone numbers contained in a suspected phish.
Go to a known source of information for contact information, such as your company's HR or payroll departments, using a phone number or email address that you would typically use. If they are not aware of the request, you should follow your company's process for reporting suspicious email.
If your company does not have a formal process, file a complaint with the Federal Bureau of Investigation Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov.

Trevor Buxton warns that identity thieves use business email compromise scams to dupe employees at companies of all sizes into transferring money, releasing employee and payroll data, or exposing trade secrets and intellectual property.
In 2016, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Internet Crime Center (IC3) received 12,005 Business Email Compromise/Email Account Compromise complaints with losses totaling more than $360 million. [1]

Android 5.1 Lollipop Update Release Date: Motrola Moto X & Moto G 2013 OTA Rollout Begins,
As we previously reported, earlier this month, Motorola decided its Moto X and Moto G first generation handsets would be leapfrogging directly from Android KitKat to Android 5.1 Lollipop. Now it appears that Motorola is beginning tests for the Moto X (2013), with some Android 5.1 Lollipop OTA update notifications already going out in some testing grounds.
If you own a Moto X or Moto G from 2013, the news that Android 5.1 Lollipop would be the first update you get came as bittersweet. Of course, it'd be great to leapfrog over Android 5.0 Lollipop, especially with the bugs and awkward UI elements that Android users have been reporting with the new operating system. But you want your Lollipop now!
At least first-gen Moto X users can look forward to that happening soon, as it appears Motorola is working to get the Android 5.1 Lollipop update to users quickly. According to GSMArena, the Android 5.1 Lollipop update has been seen rolling out in Brazil for the 2013 Moto X, as the company is likely testing features and bugs in small markets before expanding the update elsewhere.
If those early rollouts prove bug-free, Moto X (2013) users, according to the smartphone-centric blog, should expect a worldwide rollout in May. Of course, when your particular carrier ends up sending out an OTA notification will probably be a little later. Later still, the rollout for the first-generation Moto G (with LTE), which takes second place in priority behind the same-gen Moto X handset.
In any case, if the second-generation Moto X (2014)'s update to Lolllipop, followed by the subsequent, slight update to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, is any indication, Motorola is working more quickly than many OEMs to get updates flowing.
And since the Moto X (2013) is still under full firmware support by Motorola until the end of this year, expect your handset to get several updates this year before being sent off on its way.

Jeremy Loenneke is an assistant professor of Exercise Science in the Department of Health, Exercise Science and Recreation Management at the University of Mississippi and has a PhD in Exercise Physiology from the University of Oklahoma. He is based in Oxford, Mississippi.
Blood flow restricted training is exactly what it sounds like. It involves restricting blood flow into the muscle you are training, and occluding – or preventing – blood flow out of the muscle.
In lab settings this is typically applied with specialised equipment but can also be applied with knee wraps in the gym. This type of resistance training allows a person to exercise at low loads – around 20-30% of their maximum – and results in muscle growth similar to that observed with higher loads of around 70% of their maximum.
It is important to remember that moderate blood flow restriction – around 40-50% of what it takes to cut off blood flow completely – appears to be just as effective as very high percentages. As such, as in many things in life, more does not necessarily mean better.
Lighter loads, same result
It was thought for some time that a muscle had to be exposed to repeated bouts of high-load training to make a muscle bigger and stronger, but applying blood flow restriction (BFR) allows this to happen at lower loads.
Lifting weights in combination with BFR has been shown to result in similar muscular adaptations as traditional high-load training. The benefits of this stimulus have been observed in trained, untrained, older, injured, and even some clinical-type populations. The benefit in using this stimulus is that you get substantial muscle adaptation with minimal recovery time because it does not typically result in a measurable level of muscle damage.
The benefits of BFR have been observed with a variety of exercises, both compound and single-joint movements. Additionally, some evidence suggests that muscles not directly under BFR, such as the chest, may also be improved. Most of the research is done with a leg extension and arm curl model but some studies have also found improvements in bench press and squat following this type of training.
How it works
It appears that both mechanical and metabolic factors are at work behind the effects observed with low-load resistance training in combination with BFR. This is different from high-load training, which is thought to be mediated largely by mechanical factors. When BFR is applied to a limb during exercise it causes the metabolites produced by the muscle to accumulate. In addition, the acute muscle swelling that occurs from applying BFR may also be important for muscle adaptation on some level.
Maximising muscle strength
Maximal muscular strength in a lift is very dependent upon the training principle of specificity. Thus, if a person only ever trained with low loads for a particular lift their maximal strength in that lift would likely be a little less than a group who trained that lift repeatedly with high loads, despite having similar changes in muscle mass. If maximal strength is something you are interested in, it would make sense to use low-load training in combination with BFR as a supplement to your normal training and not a complete replacement.
Minimising the negatives
The application of BFR has been shown to be a relatively safe stimulus. It doesn't result in measurable amounts of muscle damage, it doesn't appear to activate coagulation factors, and it doesn't produce change in blood pressure greater than that observed with traditional training. Indeed, it often produces less of an increase.
However, I would caution those who have had lymph nodes removed that perhaps BFR may be contraindicated on that limb. There is no data that I'm aware of showing that it would be harmful but physicians typically don't even allow blood pressure to be taken on the arm where they've been removed. In addition, those with underlying vascular problems may also want to be cautious. There is no data here either way, but playing it safe is not a bad thing.
Why you should try it
Can you not lift heavy weights, perhaps due to some type of injury? Do you need a type of workout for your deload week that will produce positive adaptation without negatively affecting recovery? Do you need a psychological break from lifting heavy weights?
These are all situations where you may want to include BFR into your training programme. It is important to remember that you don't have to do BFR, but it may be a useful tool. BFR is just another protocol which may help improve your overall training progress.
Putting it into practice
For those wishing to try it out in a gym setting, I recommend using cheap elastic knee wraps for the lower body and narrower wraps for the upper body. Those using a wide wrap in the upper body may inhibit much of the movement and may also inhibit some adaptation below the wrap. That's not definitive, just a possibility.
For most who are healthy and capable of lifting heavy weights, I would probably recommend using BFR as a supplement to their normal training. To illustrate, one could add it to the accessory work at the end of their workout or they could have a day set aside specifically for BFR.
Monday: Heavy lower body
Tuesday: BFR upper body
Thursday: BFR lower body
Friday: Heavy upper body
The protocol I typically recommend for most lifts is 30 repetitions for the first set followed by three sets of 15 at 30% of the maximum weight you can lift, resting 30 seconds between sets. For more complex lifts, such as the squat, I may reduce the repetitions to 20 for the first set followed by three sets of 12-15.
The 30-15-15-15 protocol is commonly used but that doesn't necessarily mean it is the 'best'. It just means that routinely produces favorable changes in muscle mass and strength.
I prefer to use the workload completed as a gauge for how tight the wraps are, provided you are using practical BFR. For example, you may not make all of the target number of repetitions for every set, but if you aren't even getting close then the load is too high or the wraps are too tight. If you are sure the load is approximately 30% of your max and you aren't getting remotely close to finishing all the repetitions, then the wraps likely need to be loosened.

A call rings in to Shirl Rachal's phone console.
A young woman tells of her plight: She and her 6-year-old daughter have no place to spend the night. "My sister don't want us no more," the woman says.
On the other side of the room, Carolyn Stubblefield picks up an incoming call.
"My son has a alcohol-drug problem," an older woman laments. "He has a short fuse, a real anger problem. He had an outburst this morning and threw his computer monitor and hit a window. We're really at wit's end -- other than call the police."
And nearby, Miguel Serrano presses a button on his console.
"I got a family of nine," a woman tells him. "Two adults and seven children, all under age 18. They need shoes, clothing and food."
In a sense, with each call he takes, Serrano hears echoes of his own past. "I came from a tough family," he said. "We were a big family. There were 14 of us, and sometimes we had no food in the home. You have to have the heart to help these people."
The litany of woes issuing from Los Angeles County's populace flows without letup through the sunlit office cubicles in San Gabriel where Serrano and colleagues try to find solutions.
As resource advisors for the new Call 211 L.A. County information and referral service, they are uniquely knowledgeable about the boggling patchwork of public and private assistance available. They are uniquely knowledgeable, too, about the gaps in it, such as the dearth of emergency housing.
The countywide 211 service, which operates around the clock, seven days a week, began July 1 as a simpler, more easily remembered way for people to connect with various social services. County officials hope also that it will lower the volume of nonemergency calls to the overburdened 911 emergency system.
With its three-digit dialing code, Call 211 replaces a service called Info Line of Los Angeles, which consisted of eight assistance phone lines in various parts of the county. It also connects with 10 other information lines for specialized services dealing with such matters as elder abuse, unwanted newborns and employment opportunities.
Cellphones cannot connect with the 211 dialing code, though county officials hope to have that service in place by year's end. Similarly, certain businesses' internal phone systems don't allow connections with 211. For both categories of phone users, the service is available at (800) 339-6993.
Call 211 offers services directly in English and Spanish and, through a nationwide translation service, in more than 140 other languages. Its 65 advisors can instantly access a continuously updated computer database of 4,000 human service agencies and more than 28,000 widely varying programs, including those involving health screening, building code enforcement, animal services and anatomical donations.
In its first two weeks of operation, the service logged 4,000 more calls in English and Spanish than Info Line had received during the same period last year. It was an increase of nearly 60%, according to Maribel Marin, executive director of Call 211 L.A. County, the nonprofit organization that runs the program. Marin said the service is on track to record 450,000 calls a year, compared with about 350,000 logged annually by Info Line.
The goal, said Peter Talavera, 211 director of programs and services, is to make people "as familiar with 211 as they are with 911 and 411," the phone codes for emergencies and directory assistance.
Soft rock music burbles in the background at 211's office on Las Tunas Drive. The atmosphere is one of calm efficiency, in distinct contrast to the distress that besets many who call.
Thirty-year-old Miguel Serrano deals exclusively with callers in need of food, directing them toward soup kitchens and free food banks. His cubicle is decorated with religious cards and photographs of his two daughters, ages 2 and 9 months.
The telephone system automatically gives Serrano and his colleagues a one-minute break between calls to clear their computer screens and prepare for the next inquiry; during these intermissions, he spoke of his passion for his work.
"I've been here five years and would not change jobs," he said. "I could do this work till I retire."
Serrano, a veteran of Info Line, said that because there are many food banks and soup kitchens in the county, he usually is able to get callers some kind of help.
That's not true for Rachal. The 41-year-old mother of three handles primarily calls for emergency housing, which, like all housing in L.A. County, is hard to come by.
"It's difficult because a lot of times you can't find shelter -- and you've got a mom in tears on the phone with four, five, eight kids," she said between calls in her cubicle, which is adorned with tiny ceramic angels and photographs of her husband and children. "And the older the children, the harder it is. Nobody wants teenagers, especially teenage males."
Each morning Rachal surveys the 18 shelters on 211's master list to learn how many beds are available. This morning nearly 60 were, but the number was deceptive.
Some are open only to men or only to women. Some are not open to drinkers or drug-users. Some are not available to families. None is open to single men who have children with them. Some stop accepting clients for the day before noon.
Often the last resort is to find an agency that will issue hotel vouchers on the spur of the moment.
The county's size -- at 4,084 square miles, it is nearly half as large as New Jersey -- often is an obstacle in itself to those without transportation. For example, the woman with the young daughter found herself shelterless in the Brentwood area, and the only place Rachal could find for her was the Union Rescue Mission on skid row.
"You have to get to downtown Los Angeles," Rachal told her.
"Without any tokens or money?" the woman asked.
Rachal put her on hold and consulted her computer. The closest source of free bus tokens appeared to be at a Salvation Army Center in Hollywood, a long way from Brentwood. "Oh, no," she murmured. "They closed at noon. And they're only open on Tuesdays."
The best Rachal could do was suggest that the woman go the next morning to the Watts Labor Community Action Committee Homeless Assistance Center on 108th Street. "Make sure you get there tomorrow before 11 a.m.," she instructed. "And make sure you have all your papers."
Often Rachal and her colleagues must draw out from callers what their real needs are. Carolyn Stubblefield took a call from an elderly woman who asked where she could file an application for general relief assistance. On further questioning, it turned out the woman was homeless and had been unable to find shelter.
"They send me here, send me there. All full," the woman said. "All the shelters, they are full. This is not the first time I call you. This the sixth or seventh time. Not even a place, for last three weeks."
As Stubblefield called a Salvation Army Center for free bus tokens so the woman could get to an agency that might be able to help her, the woman hung up. Stubblefield sank back in her chair and lifted her palms in frustration. "We do get chronic folks going through the system," she said.
For 211's resource advisors, their calm and reassuring voices notwithstanding, daily exposure to the hardships of others can be wearing.
"Just hearing what people are going through -- young people with all kinds of ailments and disabilities, people who are 35 and sound like they're 70 -- is painful," Rachal said.
"I pray a lot," she added. "I try not to take too much home with me. But sometimes I have to put callers on hold and kind of cry with them.
"Then you have to take a moment to catch your breath, and get back on the line."

We decided at the last minute to escape from Florida as hurricane Irma was bearing down on us, and Stratos came through for us. Despite our first choice airport running out of fuel, they managed to get some at another and we got out with about 1 hour to spare. It was a hectic time, with everyone else scrambling to escape, but Stratos made the whole experience simple and efficient for us.We will definitely fly with them another time, preferable when we're not all stressed about a hurricane aimed right at us!

Because jet charter is not priced on a per person or ticket basis, it is not likely that it would be more cost effective for a group of 10-15 individuals to charter a jet compared with flying via scheduled airline service in coach or first class. Even if the total cost for a charter trip is split among 10 people, the cost each person would cover would still be significant.
Very professional, very knowledgeable - truly care about their clients. Stratos is always very good to work with. When one of their requests come in we know we will be treated equitably, politely, and professionally, as the Operator. The Stratos team is always friendly and thorough. The Stratos Guests are always very good to our Flight Crews, which we appreciate very much. I would highly recommend Stratos Jet Charters. Malachi Mountain Aviation.
As the assistant who actually booked the trip and made the plans for my employer and her family, I must say that the experience was a new one for me. That said, the unfamiliar process was made much simpler thanks to the knowledge, expertise and patience of my rep, Christina Nesbit. She was extremely informative and helped thru each step of the process, reassuring me that the passengers were getting the most appropriate plane for their needs.I will double check to be sure there isn't any additional feedback I am missing, but to date I was told that the flight was a pleasurable one and they were appreciative and impressed that the President came to greet them pre flight as well.Thank you, Shari
Joel Thomas: Hi William! Thanks for the opportunity to serve you and your wife. We are always grateful when our clients take the time to offer feedback. We reached out to Chief Pilot of the air carrier you flew with regarding the noise you mentioned and here is what they said: "Frequently you'll hear noises that sound like that and its just the airplane expanding as altitude, temperature and humidity change. Its actually very common." Looking forward to working with you all again soon! All my best
Every aspect of our operations at PACI revolves around a steadfast commitment to safety. To ensure maximum safety for our customers, all aircraft operated by PACI are IS-BAO Registered, ARGUS Platinum Rated, Wyvern Approved and have a robust Safety Management System (SMS) and a comprehensive Emergency Response Plan (ERP). All charter flights are tracked by FAA licensed dispatchers in our 24/7 Operation Control Center. Pentastar Aviation meets the maximum industry safety standards.
I met Joel, years ago, when he first introduced me to Stratos Jet Charters during its start-up phase. I was always very impressed on their marketing and honesty, as a broker. Joel is very genuine and caring when it comes to his customers or the operators that he works with. I know that Stratos Jets will not sacrifice safety for anything. I know that he likes to treat everyone like they are part of the Stratos Jet family. The trip planning process, from quote request to trip planning to invoice, is seamless – they've thought of everything and continue to be ahead of the trend in our industry with the way they do things. They think of everything! In my opinion, Stratos Jet Charters set the bar for aircraft brokerage and I will always continue to look forward to working with them.
Recently booked a jet for 11 people from my organization to continue operations during hurricane Irma. As business owners know, operations do not cease during a disaster and customers must continue to be served. Stratos Jet Charters booked the aircraft we needed within an hour of reaching out. Our team was able to continue business operations in NYC seamlessly. Much appreciation to Joel and his team for fast action!
We prefer to finalize our itinerary, plane and crew at least a week in advance. We did not get things completely final until the day of the actual flight. Secondly, we prefer to pay post-flight rather than pre-flight. You were able to make an exception in our case which was appreciated. Lastly, the quality of the catering service from STT was atrocious. It was inedible.
No matter what company you're flying with, be sure to ask if there two pilots or one. (Though two pilots are standard on commercial flights, regulations vary for private planes of all sizes.) It also helps to ask if the operator owns the plane—typically, companies that own their planes offer better service. Never forget to ask about daily minimums and taxi fees. "If the hourly rate is $9,000 and you have a single 40-minute flight, you might assume you are going to pay $6,000," says Doug Gollan, creator of PrivateJetCardComparisons.com. "But if your provider has a daily minimum of 1.5 hours, you are going to actually be charged $13,500, plus taxi time, which in my comparisons I have found varies between being included and up to 12 minutes per segment."
We fly to and from the over 5,000 regional airports in North America, which are crowd-free and conveniently located close to your home, office, and your destination of choice. With easy parking and pilot escort for security, check-in, and boarding, you can arrive at the airport just minutes before your flight. Since we focus exclusively on your schedule and desired route, you fly straight to your destination. And with our 99%+ on-time departure rate, add it all up and you will save hours vs. a typical commercial airline trip (or long drive for that matter!).
For those who don't mind mingling with strangers, companies like Tradewind offer shuttles between places like New York and Boston, Stowe, and Nantucket, as well as Caribbean Islands like St. Barth's and Anguilla. (Flights begin at $250 plus tax each way.) The bonus? On a route from from San Juan to St. Barth's, a Tradewind rep will meet you at your terminal and help shuttle you through.

We decided at the last minute to escape from Florida as hurricane Irma was bearing down on us, and Stratos came through for us. Despite our first choice airport running out of fuel, they managed to get some at another and we got out with about 1 hour to spare. It was a hectic time, with everyone else scrambling to escape, but Stratos made the whole experience simple and efficient for us.We will definitely fly with them another time, preferable when we're not all stressed about a hurricane aimed right at us!
The key words here are prop planes, turboplanes, and light jets. Prop planes like the Cessna Caravan are popular because they're roomy (the seats are like business class, and often configured face to face). More popular these days are planes like the six- to eight-seater Pilatus PC-12, and KingAirs, which fly faster and feel more like jets. And then you get into light jets like Learjets, Embraer Phenom 300s, and Citation CJ3s, and Hawkers, all of which are sleeker and more streamlined, and can fly for four to five hours, for slightly longer trips.

Small businesses know they have to get online, but finding the time to figure out how is proving a real challenge for small business owners of every stripe. If you're Internet-savvy and know how local businesses can harness the power of local search, coupon pages and social media, you could be working from home helping small business owners promote their companies online.
Whether you're looking to make some fast cash, or you're after long-term, more sustainable income-producing results, there are certainly ways you can make money online today. The truth is that making money online isn't as difficult as most make it out to seem. It does require some discipline. Sure. Without discipline, you'll find it tough to make a buck both online or offline.
The home office deduction may become even easier to use in the near future. Colleen DeBaise wrote, in an early 2006 article entitled "Locking In The Home-Office Deduction," about efforts being made to simplify this tax deduction. She wrote, "The National Association for the Self-Employed, a small-business group in Washington, D.C., supports a simplified, standard deduction to ease the burden on home-based businesses. And perhaps someday, sweet relief will be granted: Two bills introduced in 2005 contain language for a standard home-office deduction, although neither has passed. One of the bills, the Small Employer Tax Relief Act of 2005, specifically calls for a standard home-office deduction of $2,500'¦. In the meantime, small-business owners have little choice other than to muddle through the form—or hire a tax adviser for help."
Pet sitting usually involves going to someone else's house to take care of furry loved ones. Pet sitting could even involve living in someone's house while the client is away. You have to think about the types of services you'll provide and the types of animals you'll take care of, but generally pet sitting is a low-cost, high-pleasure business idea.
Choosing the path of entrepreneurship, and working on your side business idea, is without a doubt riskier than being content with holding a 9-5 job. It requires way more sacrifice. However, once you're reaping the lifestyle benefits of being your own boss and hustling your way into making significantly more money with your business idea than you ever could at your day job, the hard work will have all been worth it. So, let's talk business ideas.
Once the home-based business gets off the ground, many entrepreneurs tend to go to the opposite extreme and overcommit themselves. In their need to attract clients, they become uncomfortable turning down work. But unlike people who work for a large employer in an outside office, home-based business owners cannot leave their work behind and go home, because home is where their work is. As a result, some entrepreneurs work too many hours and abandon their personal lives, resulting in stress and burnout. Instead, experts recommend that home-based business owners set up realistic work schedules in order to reinforce the boundaries between their personal and business lives. It may be helpful to establish the following day's schedule the previous afternoon and prioritize the activities. The schedule should be realistic and allow for inevitable interruptions. Some experts claim that an important factor in successful time management for home-based business owners is arising early in the morning to get a jump start on work. Others stress the importance of dressing comfortably yet professionally in order to establish a positive psychological state for working. Although these methods do not apply to everyone, it is important for home-based business people to find a pattern that maximizes their productivity and stick with it.
"I love working for TTEC@home. I get to interact with and help others from the comfort of my own home. (Have you ever been in Houston traffic rush hour? That says it all!) Plus, they have some of the most amazing people I've ever had the privilege of working with. They aren't just here to draw a paycheck. They truly care about their co-workers. I work many miles from the brick and mortar buildings, but I have a sense of security that my coworkers have my back and I'm not alone."
If you have graphic design skills then you could make money online by creating and selling your own design elements, like templates, fonts, graphics, and other assets. This is a great way to earn extra money and build up a portfolio of work, which could lead to you picking up freelance graphic design jobs. Websites like Envato Elements pay you a fee per element sold, which can become quite profitable if your work is popular.
Another flexible non-phone option in the educational field is test scoring. There are a few reputable companies that do hire home-based workers to score everything from standardized tests to essays. Before you apply, you should know that ETS and Pearson (listed below) do require that you have certain qualifications and/or past teaching experience before they'll let you become a scorer. WriteScore on the other hand requires just a two-year college degree.
Simultaneously, the song made an appearance in the charts in the Republic of Ireland, earning the group their first top five there. In the Netherlands, the single debuted at number 29 on the Dutch Top 40 after its first week of release. It climbed for the next three weeks, reaching number four in the fourth week and becoming their first top 10 single in the country. It also became the group's highest peaking single in the Netherlands, surpassing the peak of its predecessor "Worth It", which peaked at number 25 in August 2015. "Work from Home" eventually topped both the Single Top 100 and the Dutch Top 40, becoming the group's first song to top both charts in the country.
If you were not able to find luck with the list of jobs I have presented above, visit FlexJobs. This job site has been rated by the Better Business Bureau with an A+. They even provide a money-back guarantee in case you are not satisfied with how they deliver their service. FlexJobs assures that every single work posted is hand-screened to check its legitimacy. This is a fantastic method to find legit home-based jobs without the worries of handling scams.
A home business (or "home-based business" or "HBB") is a small business that operates from the business owner's home office. In addition to location, home businesses are usually defined by having a very small number of employees, usually all immediate family of the business owner, in which case it is also a family business. Home businesses generally lack shop frontage, customer parking and street advertising signs. Such businesses are sometimes prohibited by residential zoning regulations.[1]
You'll enjoy the flexibility to telecommute* from anywhere within the US as you take on some tough challenges. Primary Responsibilities: ... Job Keywords: Licensed Behavioral Health Care Advocate, Telecommute, telecommuter, Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, Marriage or Family, Ph.D., mental health, work from home, Medicaid, utilization, medical necessity, concurrent review, Optum, Optumhealth.
The process of gathering information and writing a business plan helps the entrepreneur take an objective, critical look at the business idea and its chances for success. A home-based business may be related to an individual's previous occupation, but may also be based upon a hobby or the discovery of a unique business opportunity. In any case, the idea should be evaluated with an eye toward market potential and competition. Once the business is up and running, the business plan sets forth goals and standards for management and serves as an operational tool to measure progress. Although there are many ways to start a home-based business—including "moonlighting" while employed full-time, working part-time for an employer and part-time at home, and just taking the plunge—planning is important to all of them.
Ghostwriting pays pretty well, and if you're talented at researching and creating great content within a certain subject domain, you can quickly build a roster of high-paying clientele with this business idea. Ghostwriters like Jeff Haden have created very lucrative careers for themselves by writing for business executives and CEO's—and Jeff also started his ghostwriting career as a side business idea outside of his full-time job as a factory manager. Listen to his interview with me on The Side Hustle Project (podcast) right here.
How to Get It: Sylvan Learning (Tutoring.SylvanLearning.com), Tutor.com, TutorVista.com and Tutorzilla (Tutorzilla.com) all offer a good cross section of the kinds of remote-based tutoring jobs out there, and they all have great reputations with students and teachers. Since you will be working with children, you can expect a background check before you are hired.
However, not matter what method you choose to make money online, understand that you might be able to make some money fast, but for the sizable returns, you'll need significant sweat equity. However, a year from now, you'll be happy you started today. Remember, time is far more valuable than money. Focus on creating passive income streams that will free up your time so that you can quit the rat race and focus on the things that matter. That's the important thing here.
There are quite literally hundreds of clever ways to make money online. From taking online surveys, to renting or selling your old clothes, flipping your iPhone to someone in a different country, and even buying low-cost products locally, just to resell them for a higher price on Amazon. There's truly no shortage of unique ways to make money online.
If all Federal employees who are eligible to telework full-time were to do so, the Federal Government could realize $13.9 billion savings in commuting costs annually and eliminate 21.5 billion pounds (9,800,000 t; 9,600,000 long tons) of pollutants from the environment each year.[100] Events in 2007 have pushed telework to the forefront as a critical measurement for the U.S. federal government. Telework relates to continuity of operations (COOP) and national pandemic preparedness planning, reducing dependence on foreign oil and the burden of rising gas prices, the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC), and a focus on recruitment and retention. During a keynote address at the September 12, 2007 Telework Exchange Town Hall Meeting, Lurita Doan, at that time the Administrator for the General Services Administration, announced an aggressive commitment goal to increase agency telework participation. Her challenge would enable 50 percent of eligible agency employees to telework one or more days per week by 2010. As of 2007, 10 percent of eligible GSA employees telework, compared to 4.2 percent for the overall Federal workforce. Her goals were to increase participation to 20 percent by the end of 2008, 40 percent by the end of 2009, and finally 50 percent by 2010.[101]
Turning your favorite craft or hobby into a revenue-generating business idea easily counts among the most fulfilling experiences anyone can have. Just take a look at what Jacob Huss of Soteria Designs is doing wit his hobby of hand-building furniture and wood jewelry. With more and more people demanding a higher degree of personalization in just about anything they own or use, count yourself lucky if your craft happens to be the creation of custom furniture. Not only is the real estate sector regaining its footing, the number of style-conscious customers is also on the rise, creating plenty of room for growth into this business idea.
But if you get the green light to do it, starting a catering service is a relatively low-overhead way to create a new business. It's a lot of work, but if you enjoy cooking, it could turn into a lucrative and fulfilling career. To get started with minimal investment, you could first cook in your customers' homes and use their dishes. Also, a narrow specialization on a particular type of cuisine or event may help you attract clientele as you work develop a strong customer base.
Work remotely for a call center. Because many call center jobs are location independent, finding work in this field is an easy way to earn some money from home. Dozens of sites list job openings for call-center representatives, including Freelancer.com and SimplyHired.com. Meanwhile, you should check local job listings for openings and opportunities as well.
Of the more than three million web entries resulting from a search on the phrase "work at home", more than 95% of the results were scams, links to scams, or other dead ends. Work at home scams earn their perpetrators more than $500 million per year, and home business scams account for another $250 million per year. Even the sites that claim to be scam-free often feature ads that link to scams.[98] According to Christine Durst, CEO of Staffcentrix, there is a 48-to-1 ratio of scams to legitimate offerings among work-at-home job leads on the Internet.[99]
Hi, I really enjoyed this article. I think everyone has a skill they can market like being a VA, writing, web design etc for some extra cash. I think the main thing to consider when starting a business is if you can run the business with your day job. It's great if you can build a service based business to work from home but it takes time to build these business to replace a wage – it took me three years. Great post!
When it comes to a company's work from home policy, everyone is different. Your productivity and overall success as a remote employee depends entirely on your preferred work style. That's also the reason it's hard to find any solid data on whether or not people are more productive at home. Anecdotally, it seems to boil down to personality type and the job you do. We're all different, and some of us can't fathom getting work done with a TV nearby and all our comforts of home surrounding us, while others find it a struggle to stay focused among office chatter and other distractions.
Starting a business in this field will require some experience, but as long as there is anxiety, there will be a market for coaching people to create and deliver presentations. Invest in video equipment or use a smartphone to record students as part of the coaching process. If you have a background in radio or TV or specific experience in high-profile public speaking, all the better.
If you don't mind parading yourself around in public places as a side business idea, and enjoy a little attention, then working as a human billboard can pay a surprising amount of dividends. Renting out your beard, for example can earn you as much as $5 a day while having a brand logo tattooed on your shaven head for five years could pay as much as $7,000—though this type of earning opportunity is admittedly rare. This business idea is definitely not for the faint of heart, and is a little extreme for me, but nonetheless it's been done as a side hustle for many people. You can start by holding a placard or wearing a sandwich board. If you think this is a good side business idea, you can go all the way and turn it into a full on small business idea with enough hard work—plus you won't have to deal with all the issues other more complex businesses have to constantly think about (like reducing churn).
You'll also need ecommerce software, fulfillment software, worry about warehousing, customer service, refunds and so on. But that's not all. You'll also need traffic. Think search engine optimization, Facebook ads, and other social media campaigns. Sound like a lot of work? Sure, it is. Especially if you do it all on your own. You could opt for Amazon's platform, which might be the easier route. But, then again, at the end of the day, this is a serious business, which could produce significant profits. So you're either all in or you're not.
If you have a knack for organization, you can make money online as a virtual assistant helping people to keep their days in order. A virtual assistant will do everyinthing from bookkeeping to research, database entry, booking travel, and managing email. It can also be an awesome way to rub shoulders with some very important people, build up your professional network, and of course grow another stream of income. You can find great gigs on UpWork, Fiverr, Indeed, and Remote.co.
Become an Amazon Associate and then use Keyword planner to find an in-demand niche: With more than a million different products to choose from and up to 10% commission the sales you drive, Amazon's affiliate program is a great place to get started. Browse their available products and see what connects with you. Or take it a step further and use Google's Keyword Planner to quickly check how many people are searching for a specific term. With affiliate marketing, the more relevant traffic you can pull in, the more you'll make off your site.
Some of the potential benefits and drawbacks of telecommuting can be explained by job characteristic theory, which proposes that the traits and tasks of the job itself affect employees' work attitudes and behavior.[30] If five characteristics of a job are present (skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback), then the employee in that job will experience more internal work motivation, satisfaction with personal growth opportunities, general job satisfaction, higher job performance, and lower absenteeism and turnover.[30][31] Many studies have provided evidence that job characteristics influence employees' behaviors and attitudes.[32] Additionally, job characteristics can interact with individual differences to impact employee attitudes and behavior.[31][33] Of these five job characteristics, telework specifically changes autonomy and feedback compared to face-to-face work and can thus influence employees' behaviors and attitudes. According to Job Characteristics Theory, changes in autonomy and feedback influence work behaviors and attitudes more than a change in skill variety, task identity, or task significance.[30]
No one likes doing taxes, and they need to be paid whether the economy is booming or tanking. This is why at-home tax preparation can be a great business for anyone with a tax background, or anyone willing to take training courses. Since there are annual changes to the tax code, you will need to refresh your training each year, and you will also need to register with the IRS as a tax preparer. This is more of a seasonal business than a year-round endeavor, but it can be a great way to earn some extra income each winter/spring. Median salary: $30,900.

Everybody knows that finding (and landing) your dream job can be tough—especially when you've had the same position for a while and your resume is looking a little rusty. Before jumping in and becoming an expert resume writer, you'll have to learn how to write a resume on your own, and then practice by redoing resume's for your friends and co-workers. Next, you're ready to join a resume writers' association, continue establishing your credibility and you can eventually make your way into more hands-on career coaching opportunities.
Work from Home News – Editor II – Gannett Co.: "The Product Manager will primarily curate product sets of headshots spanning all the rostered athletes on major league teams in North America: NFL, NHL, NBA, MLS and MLB.

FlexJobs is 100% legit. While it may not be necessary for everyone, if you have limited time available to dig around on the internet and vet companies for legitimacy it's well worth the investment. They research each job lead to make sure it is truly remote or flexible and it isn't a scam. I've had a membership for a very long time and find it well worth the small investment.
What It Is: Students in countries including Japan, Korea, France and Germany are looking for English speakers to practice with. Sessions focus on things like making professional small talk or running a meeting (trainers are provided with specifics on how to teach each topic, and are also trained themselves for two days before starting the job). Lessons take place either over the phone or on a live Internet video service like Skype — sometimes at night, because you're working with students in different time zones. You need to commit to a minimum of 20 hours a week at consistent times, and can work as many as 35 hours.

Robert said he did an average of 4-6 of these gigs per year for a while depending on his schedule and the work involved. The best part is, he charged a flat rate that usually worked out to around $100 per hour. And remember, this was pay he was earning to advise people on the best ways to use social media tools like Facebook and Pinterest to grow their brands.
