50 tips for buying and selling your home
Buying or selling a house is the biggest deal you can do in the course of your lifetime. It brings all sorts of challenges from finding your dream house to getting your finances ship-shape and negotiating the best price for you and your family.
No wonder it is also one of the most stressful experiences you can go through - in the battle to get everything from a BER cert to your packing done, it's easy to overlook a detail. And we all know that the devil is in the detail. With that in mind, Fran Power asked 10 experts across the property market to share their insiders' tips on how to buy and sell a property in today's market.
For the sellers
1 Inform your pricing strategy by understanding how buyers' purchasing power is determined. Think of a couple - give them names, occupation, everything - that you think would buy your home. What do they work at and how much do they earn? This will lead to the obvious next question: what is 3.5 times their gross annual salary? This, plus whatever their likely deposit is, is their budget.
2 Organise all your paperwork. If your property has a separate septic tank, make sure it is registered and check whether the septic tank and percolation area are inside your site boundary. Make sure any rights of ways are correctly shown on your property. Ensure all planning permissions and building certificates are to hand for alterations and extensions. Explore carefully whether the property has any development potential. Carry out a Building Energy Rating Assessment - these need to be updated every 10 years and cost approximately €150.
3 If you're selling a second house, make sure your NPPR (tax for second homes that preceded property tax) is paid up to date and that your property tax is up to date. Ensure all household charges and water charges have been discharged.

4 Pick a good agent - they will be your best (or worst) asset in the course of the sale. Don't necessarily choose the cheapest or the most expensive. Take time to turn up to open viewings of properties they have on the market and make sure they are there in person or at least that there is a competent senior agent who can answer questions there in their stead. It is crucial that the agent showing your house knows all its special features and can answer questions. Check too that they are licensed and agree a sales fee. Expect to pay between 1-1.75pc of the price your property eventually sells for. Some agents have a scale fee, charging 1pc up to a certain price and an increased percentage beyond that.
5 Most estate agents charge an upfront marketing fee on top of their fee - this will cover, for example, professional photography. The flipside is that those who don't charge a marketing fee may absorb the cost of photography themselves and the quality may not be as high. Make sure outside photos are taken with no part of your house in the shade. Ask for a walk-through video, if possible. Make sure the auctioneer's brochure contains room measurements and floor plans as they help interested parties to visualise the layout.
6 Don't follow the herd; people traditionally sell in autumn and spring but demand is constant and less seasonal than it once was. It may work to your advantage to sell off-peak when there are fewer new properties and less competition on the market.
7 Don't always believe the estate agent's valuation of your property. Some may price high to get your instruction and up their market share, rather than working to get your house sold in a swift, active campaign for the best possible price.
8 Keep an eye on places similar to yours that are for sale in the area; google them or view them, get a brochure, then use the information to guide your pricing strategy. Examine the Property Price Register for price comparisons and remember, location and condition are the drivers of strong pricing.
9 If you're not happy with the progress of a sale, change your estate agents. Sometimes a new agent can breathe new life into a sale. To this end make sure when signing your property services agreement with your agent that you can break the agreement with reasonable notice after an initial period of, say, 8-12 weeks, without penalties. Be aware that if you have paid for professional photography, you can reuse it with another agent, so it's a cost saved.
10 Instruct your solicitor and agree their fee - these vary hugely in amount and in structure. Ask for recommendations from people you trust.
11 Many sales fall through due to delays with contracts. You can't do anything about the purchaser's solicitor but you can ensure the delays will not be from your end. If you have a mortgage, make sure your solicitor looks for your property deeds from your mortgage company as this can be a source of long delay. If you don't have a mortgage, make sure the solicitor examines your property deeds to see if they are in order.
12 Normally, your house should sell in around three months. If it is lingering, sit down with your agent and discuss the possible reasons - it may not be anything wrong with the agent's campaign. In the current market, the price may be too high or the market may have slipped for your property.
13 You have eight seconds to make that all-important good first impression. Make sure you have 'curb appeal' by sprucing up your front garden and entrance. Trim the grass, fix peeling paint and make your windows sparkle. Clean the gutters so there's no greenery growing out of them.
14 Clean, clean, clean. Make the house clutter fre, fresh and ready for a new owner to move in. This attracts those who do not have the time, inclination or patience to do work. If this means painting, it has to be done. Pick light neutral colours, use loads of white paint and replace old tired carpets. Wash the windows, let as much light in as possible, when viewing make sure all curtains are open. Viewers love bright properties.
15 Consider renting a storage unit - with luck it will only be needed for a few months - and do a big de-clutter. You want to strike a happy balance between your house looking like a home and it looking like a show house. Sometimes people are buying the house for your taste.
16 Do the repairs you have always meant to - it will be worth several multiples of the cost on the price. BUT if you are painting an old house, be careful, particularly if the walls are damp. While this may look good to the intending/viewing purchaser, a competent surveyor will pick up the dampness and your re-decorations will have been wasted as once the necessary repairs have been addressed, it will need repainting.
17If you're spending money just to pimp your property, ie, putting in new bathrooms or a kitchen in an old property that needs a total refurb, be aware that you may not get it back. A surveyor will spot what needs to be redone and a potential vendor will take this into account in bidding for the property. In short, you've wasted your money.
18 Try to look at your house with fresh eyes. Make sure each room has a use and a purpose - make a wasted space into a study, put a cot in to a tiny box room, a dining table in that second downstairs room you never use. Get rid of bulky furniture and make sure that the circulation and flow through the house is seamless.
19 Decide on one fragrance for the house in terms of candles and diffusers, and stick to it. Don't have a curry or fried fish the night before a viewing.
20 Indoor plants are cheaper than flowers. M&S is good value for flowers; alstroemeria gives you a lot of bloom for your buck.
21 If you think a table or other piece of furniture will improve your dining room, so will a potential buyer - you can rent one from professional house stagers (try Design Source; design-source.ie) if you don't want to buy one.
22 Avoid showing a house without furniture, you're selling a potential home.
23Putting your house on the market just before you go on holiday is the ideal time - it will stay tidy and be available for viewers at all times.
24 Do your best to ensure that there is parking outside your house for anyone coming to view. That means moving your own car around the corner. Take the time to pick up litter and dog poo off the street before viewings.
25 Decide if you need a quick sale or can hold out for a better price.
For the buyers
1 Set a maximum bid for yourself at the start of the process and don't budge, no matter how much you have fallen in love with a property. To do that, calculate what the rent would be if you rented rather than owned the house, and express that in per-year terms. A rough rule of thumb is that the price shouldn't be more than 20-25 times the annual rent so, for example, a monthly rent of €1,600 converts into an annual rental bill of close to €20,000, making your maximum bid between €400,000 and €500,000. In 2007, there were homes trading for over 50 times the annual rent - this was over-paying, relative to the 'rental service' the home offers, and it has hurt people.
2 Make a realistic estimate of your current property's resale value - if you're trading up, get your current home valued accurately, the more you secure for it, the more you have to spend for your next purchase. Use the Property Price Register or get in a local estate agent. Many people make the mistake of over-valuing their garden, extension, kitchen, etc. You may not be allowed to borrow more if you get it wrong.
3 Calculate all the costs involved in your proposed purchase - most people become consumed with the monthly mortgage repayments and the associated expenses involved in closing the sale. But remember to include the running costs of your purchase, including lighting, heating, service charges, property taxes or general maintenance. A recommended annual figure for this is approximately 1.5pc of the value of the property.
4 Check out the parking - where a property is in a built-up area, what are the facilities for parking? Is it on-street, permit parking and if so, how much does that cost. If you're buying an apartment, is the parking communal or allocated and is there an extra fee for usage.
5 If the building is in an area with planning restrictions, or it is a listed or protected structure, can you make the renovations you want? Check this with an architect or quantity surveyor before you buy.
6 Check the quality of any home improvements. If a property has had work carried out - a loft conversion or extension, for example - check that all permits, building regulations and planning permissions have been observed. Ensure that the survey carried out examines the standard of workmanship so you can assess any future repairs needed.
7 Look at the history of the management company. In Ireland, management companies generally arise in apartment complexes or townhouse schemes. Check whether it is fully functioning, how did it fare in the crash, what maintenance and services does it cover, what are the service charges, are the communal areas well-kept? Developments with large communal areas are most vulnerable. Most private developments of semi-detached or detached homes establish their own internal resident's association.
8 Explore the 'hood. Look out for anti-social behaviour, how green spaces are used, graffiti, traffic patterns and proximity to schools and shops. If you have children, are there pedestrian crossings where needed? If you are looking for a community to tap into, a cul de sac or square generally has more interaction between neighbours than a busy thoroughfare. How many houses in the area are owner-occupied? A high number can usually be taken as an indication that people are happy to live in the area. Visit at different times of the day, especially at rush hour to assess the traffic, and late at night, weekends for noisy neighbours and to assess what sort of locals are living there.
9 Check with your local authority on the plans for the area you are proposing to buy in. Is there a road being planned, a large development? Some of these may improve your property's eventual value and some may decrease it. Be informed.
10 Always have a survey carried out by a qualified architect/engineer or surveyor. Never rely on a survey carried out by the lender.
11 Make sure your loan offer does not lapse prior to the completion of your purchase.
12 When it comes to calculating your deposit. You will need a minimum of 10pc of the purchase price (to €220,000) as a first-time buyer (FTB), and 20pc of anything over this, or, if you're buying second time around, 20pc on the whole lot, either in cash, or equity in your existing house. Banks want to see a clear, unambiguous and preferably lengthy savings record toward a deposit. While it's possible to use gifts from parents, etc, towards the deposit, it is inadvisable to top it up with a separate loan, eg, from the credit union.
13 Decide on whether you want a fixed or variable rate mortgage. Fixed interest rates are excellent value and banks are pushing them. Consider all rates over the entire term and don't get swayed by short-term gimmicks like cash back or cheap insurance unless the overall interest rate is competitive.
14 Get rid of existing debt, if you can. Banks want to see that you have enough disposable income to repay the mortgage if interest rates rise. They will 'stress test' by 2pc more than the current rate. A personal loan, or maxed-out credit card will be counter-productive. You may have to make the tough decision to use some of your deposit toward paying these off, or at least, show you can afford both.
15 Clean up your credit rating. It is assessed over two years (at least). Any missed payments or defaults on previous loans, credit cards or any court judgments will stand against you. Find out your rating in advance with icb.ie (costs €6).
16 If your credit rating is 'impaired', five of the six banks issuing mortgages won't approve your's. New arrival Pepper may do, however, you will need to have a clean credit report on secured loans for the last four years and two years of clean credit on any unsecured loans.
17 Tidy up your current account. Your records will be scrutinised for a minimum of six months. Banks will be on the look out for morally dubious spending, such as a gambling habit (get rid of that bookie's app!), or a high expenditure in your local, for example.
18 Consider mortgage coaching - for a fee of roughly €250, a broker will look at your finances and put a plan in place to correct bad habits in your current account or patterns of spending with your credit card to make sure you succeed with your application.
19 If you're self-employed and looking for a mortgage, the lender will take the average income figure over the last three years, not the last year which might be your best.
20 If you're in negative equity you can still get a mortgage but it'll be hard. While most banks have a negative equity mortgage product, they are very restrictive and nearly impossible to get unless your salary(ies) exceed €80,000 pa. There were only 300 negative equity mortgages in 2014 and while figures are difficult to come by for 2015, it seems likely there were fewer. You must have a 10pc deposit for the house you are buying as part of the application process. Typically, 175pc loan-to-value is the maximum amount you can borrow where you carry forward debt from your original mortgage. These types of mortgages are exempt from the Central Bank's rules on loan-to-income and loan-to-value.
21 If you're a first-time buyer, the next budget may bring good news. The Government has indicated that there will be an incentive for FTBs with a figure of €10,000 per property purchase being mentioned, back dated to July of this year.
22 Get your life cover in order. Mortgage protection is compulsory and medical evidence can take time to underwrite. Have the plan in place or you won't be allowed to draw down funds. This is one of the most unnecessary causes of delay in getting a mortgage.
23 If you're buying new, get accurate estimates of completion from the developer. There's no point drawing down funds before you need them, and there should be a staged deposit process. You only pay interest on what you have already borrowed.
24 On a chain gang? If you're caught in a seller-buyer-seller triangle, the purchase may take longer than expected. A good solicitor and estate agent will smooth the passage and ensure that your move in/out time is clearly agreed.
25 Have patience. Getting a mortgage may take three to six months. It is the most important and biggest purchase of your life, so don't underestimate the stress or expense. Consider using a specialist mortgage broker for the heavy lifting. It will cost around €500.

Episode 12 - what am i? (1:26)
Fur on my head. Painted forehead and nose. Dressed sharply and modern. Well-knit black vest and baggy trousers.
What am I?
More clues…
I travel often. Last night I was in London. A week ago in New York. Last month in Greece. Today, I decided to stay local; I'm in your head.
Lo and behold, I'm talking to you right now. So I'm real. But you can only imagine me. You cannot touch me, or see me. My voice is inside your head.
What the hell am I? No answer yet?
Ok. Here's the answer: I'm your missing half.
Ancient, yet modern. Physically here, yet mentally everywhere. And nowhere. Made of dreams, yet rooted in reality.
I'm a fable of your imagination.
Unfortunately, I mean trouble. I'm here to disturb you. And the reason you might be awakened.
Sorry… You'll thank me later.

S'Mores Hostess Gift
Last summer our good friends were kind enough to invite our family out to their lake home. As a hostess gift I choose to bring a s'mores kit complete with the roasting forks. I wanted to make the gift family friendly since they have two kids. I purchased the white cake box at the local craft store and packed it with graham crackers, marshmallows and Hershey bars. There were Reese's peanut butter cups in there as well, although you cannot see them in the pictures. You could include any candy you think that they would enjoy...the ideas are endless. Tied up with a bow it makes a sweet gift.

Ray Bradbury
As a teenager, I fancied writing science fiction. One day, I wrote a few pages, and then threw them across the room, because they were too Bradburyesque for my liking (I'd just been creeped out by a Cece story).
Then I crawled around and rounded them up because they were the best bits of writing I'd done in my life till then. A few years later, I read Dandelion Wine, still my favourite Rad Bradbury book, and then the super-creepy Mars stories...
If I ever reach peaks of Bradburyesque writing again, I guess my days will be made.
Goodbye, Rad Bradbury.

The OLED touchscreen itself carries on the theme of quality: it feels practically as responsive as the screens on Apple's products, is pretty sharp and bright and, with a height of three inches and resolution of 432 x 240, large enough to display album covers, videos and pictures, as well as the web thanks to the in-built WLAN and browser.
A direct link to YouTube is also provided, as is an area for managing podcasts, and the touchscreen is accompanied by hardware controls for music on top and a 'Home' button at the bottom.
Sound quality seemed up to muster, too, with plenty of rich bass complimenting snappy, accurate treble. Sony is talking up its noise-cancelling technology – it's claiming that the X-series if the world's first mp3 and video player with digital noise cancellation – but our first impressions suggest that the cancellation is subtle rather than intrusive.
The player has three noise cancellation modes – for trains, planes and offices – so we'll test those more thoroughly when we get our hands on the X-series for review.
The new Sony X-series is available in any colour as long as it's black and, while not having the thousands of applications of the iPod Touch, is looking like it could be a rival: excellent sound quality, a vivid and responsive touchscreen and a decent range of features should appeal to those who value the sound of their music over Apple's legendary design. Prices rival Apple's, too: £209 inc VAT for the 16GB model and £279 for double that capacity.

Ideas For Minimizing And also Getting Rid Of Skin Care Issues
Taking care of your skin is very important. This article will give you tips on how to best take care of your skin. From what kind of soap to use, to how often to wash your face, you will learn exactly what you should be doing when http://www.pbfingers.com/collagen-benefits/ it comes to http://blogoferma.com/?how-to-build-a-profitable-online-supplements-business-from-scratch-article-writer-Brady-Ragland.html skin care.
When you are looking for skin care products that can help you firm your skin you should look for things that contain components like green tea, aloe-vera, Shea butter, emu oil or hyaluronic acid. Many plastic surgeons agree that these help firm your skin. Look for these or a combination of them to see the results.
Have healthier skin by not smoking. Not only is smoking hazardous to your heath, but it can destroy your skin as well by causing it to wrinkle. What the smoke does is restrict blood flow in the blood vessels in your face, depleting your skin of much needed oxygen and nutrients. This also depletes the collagen in your skin, causing it to sag and wrinkle.
There is no "end-all cure" for acne breakouts., There are only treatments and maintenance that can be applied daily to either reduce or possibly eliminate the breakouts for long periods of time. Discussing your situation with a dermatologist can help you find a treatment or maintenance routine for your needs to have healthier skin.
Many people find that their skin appears blotchy and irritated immediately after a facial. To counteract redness, apply a chilled compress of chamomile or green tea to the area. You may also look for skincare products that contain aloe vera, licorice extract, or hydro-cortisone. These products are soothing and will quickly reduce inflammation.
Wipe a cotton swap lathered with a cortisone cream on a bothersome zit in order to reduce the size and redness. After letting it absorb for about five minutes, add a layer of Neosporin to kill any existing bacteria lurking in your pores and reduce the likelihood of leaving a scar.
Taking pomegranate pills can be an important part of any skin care routine. This pill can improve your skin's natural ability to repel sun by an astonishing 25 percent. Coupled with sunscreen, the pills can ensure that you keep your skin from getting too dried out from the sun.
Wipe a cotton swap lathered with a cortisone cream on a bothersome zit in order to reduce the size and redness. After letting it absorb for about five minutes, add a layer of Neosporin to kill any existing bacteria lurking in your pores and reduce the likelihood of leaving a scar.
To have glowing skin, it is imperative that you get your full six to eight hours of sleep every single night. While you are asleep, that's when your skin cells work to repair your skin. Not getting enough rest will interrupt your re-growth and it will show up on your face the next day.
When you think about taking care of your skin, do not overlook the skin on your lips. That skin is very thin and needs to be protected. You may be surprised to learn that the most aggressive forms of skin cancer start with the skin on the lips. Use a lip balm with a sunscreen containing an SPF level of at least 20 daily.
If conventional methods or natural methods of scar removal don't work for you, try dermabrasion. Dermabrasion involves taking away the top layers of skin to expose the younger skin underneath. Dermabrasion is done by using abrasive materials such as sandpaper or if you wish for a different solution, laser dermabrasion.
A pack of moist wipes can be a great tool in your skin care routine. If you don't have any time or opportunity to take a shower following a work-out or a physically challenging task, wipe you face with one of the towelettes. It will wipe away the dirt and help to prevent acne from appearing.
To care for your skin naturally and promote healthy skin that glows, make sure you are getting enough essential fatty acids in your diet. They are necessary for healthy cell growth and can fight the inflammation that makes your skin look dull and puffy. Salmon and sardines are good sources of essential fatty acids.
To keep skin healthy, try not to take baths or long showers. Spending too much time under water can dry skin out and deplete it of its essential oils. Instead of using cold or hot water while in the shower, try using warm water. It is the best for skin.
Acne and other skin eruptions should never be treated by squeezing, popping or other direct contact. Not only do such actions spread infectious bacteria to other vulnerable skin areas, but the fingers also transfer dirt and oil to the affected areas. Other treatments are far more reliable and safe for resolving acne successfully.
Use a face mask depending on your needs. These can usually be done once or twice a week and can make a big difference in how your skin looks. There are different masks out there for different needs and there are also masks you can make using ingredients you already have.
Caring for your skin in colder weather means you have to moisturize every day. Sometimes this seems like a hassle, but it is best to apply a creamy lotion as soon as you step out of the bath or shower. A layer of lotion locks in the moisture your body has just absorbed.
If you suffer from problem skin and are prone to acne breakouts, you may want to consider cutting back on the amount http://hsmug.org/?different-ways-to-maximize-and-profit-from-your-senior-care-business-content-by-Mariah-Easley.html of milk that you drink on a daily basis. Studies have shown that drinking large amounts of milk can increase acne. This could be the result of certain hormones contained in cow milk. Consider drinking milk substitutes like soy, almond or rice.
The information you've just read can serve you well throughout your lifetime. These tips will help you get the higher self esteem that you desire through beautiful skin.

Flashback… HH & GBM targeted for treason.
Posted on October 12, 2016
In total desperation, the PF have realized that the UPND gallants, HH & GBM are too clean and way too high to be easily destructed from their determined goal to get back their stolen vote in the past general election. Because of this, the dual's political status has continued to gain positive international attention and concern. This is unsettling for the PF, both at home and internationally. Several efforts have been made to try and drag down HH & GBM to the PF level of thuggery kind of politics, but alas this has not yielded a favorable outcome for the PF.
Emanating from several Local Government and MP petitions ongoing, the PF is being proven to have indeed rigged the elections and abused the government machinery to do so. Efforts to drug down both HH & GBM has taken many twists and turns. One of the paths being pursued now, is to get a treason charge for both of them and have them locked up for a very long time.
Reliable sources from the inner circle of the PF evil planning team, indicate that possibility of using the now PF security wings to further arm some thugs to cause chaos in the nation, then associate the caused chaos with UPND gallants, HH and GBM. When these thugs get arrested, they will then implicate HH and GBM.
Based on that chaos, get HH and GBM arrested and charge them with treason.
Upon arrest, the paid up corrupted clergy, judiciary and NGOs will then be unleashed for propaganda and seeming clean judiciary through the PF media as has been going on. The state owned media houses shall continue to drum up and propagate the treason lies-case and build on it to get more PF sympathy from the Zambian citizens.
This is a scheme PF is pursuing in the quest to cage the two UPND leaders in the hope that most Zambians shall lose hope and let go of the stolen vote fight. The PF is desperate in trying to legitimize its hold onto the stolen election and an outright coup of the Zambian government. As unfair and and as inhuman as it is, the few people leading in these scandalous plans seem to be determined to the bitter end without shame. What a ploy. How can our nation sink so low. How can men and women of God be trashed up in such a mess so as to further deprive this beautiful Zambian nation.

West's hopes of reaching the play-off place in North One East are hanging by a thread after a comprehensive defeat at struggling Dinnington.
Rivals Penrith leapfrogged the Brinkburn side. The Cumbrians will now have to lose at Percy Park in the final game in a fortnight's time, while West will have to take maximum points at Huddersfield if they are to regain second place.
They will have to go into that game without Carl Miller who broke his leg and ankle in two places in the closing stages of the game at a sun-drenched Lodge Lane.
By then his side were losing 38-19 - after struggling to find anything like the form which ran league leaders Pocklington so close last week.
West did have to make half a dozen changes from that game, but won enough ball from set pieces to continue their battle for promotion.
Instead, they rarely got the ball out wide with a home side desperate for the points to avoid relegation happy to play a simple game.
When West lost the ball, or infringed, Dinnington kicked for territory and used some big runners to break the first tackle. As a result they ran in the five tries which keeps the in the league for next season at the expense of Durham City.
They went ahead after five minutes with a penalty kick to the corner. The maul from the line-out proved unstoppable with prop John Marshall emerging with the ball under the posts with Jonny West converting.
West did come back with a try from one of their own props. Anth Carr eventually crashing over after the visitors had forced two pens in the Dinnington 22 both of which were kicked to the corner for line-outs.
Gavin Painter equalised the scores with Jonny West nudging his side in front from a long range penalty.
West were winning good line-out ball and took two scrums against the head in the first half. As a result they looked like they may go on to better things when they went ahead after 17 minutes.
Winger Joe Willis was sent in from ten metres, but he was tackled by two defenders as he went over the line and referee Adam Robson ruled he had been held up.
However, West kept up the pressure from the scrum with Gavin Painter spotting a gap to go in under the posts to give his side a seven-point lead.
It wasn't to last with two missed tackles on the half way line allowing speedy winger Sam Crane an uninterrupted run.
Jonny West added the conversion before finishing the half with another long-range penalty.
His trusty boot was in action again from close to the half way line shortly after the restart when Adam Coates was sin-binned for a high tackle.
West's response was to go down the slope and mount a series of attacks on the home line with Carl Miller held up as he tried to force his way through.
Dinnington managed to clear the danger, and the immaculate Jonny West kept the scoreboard ticking in the home side's favour with a neat drop goal from 25 metres.
From the restart the game was effectively clinched with the Dinnington backs gathering and charging up the left wing with centre Chris Williams finishing off the move.
At 31-14 the game looked up for West.
There was brief hope when Andrew Rollins forced his way into the home 22. The ball was quickly moved left where West had a three man overlap and Zac Southern gratefully accepted the opportunity to touch down.
Painter's kick was wide, and with 15 minutes left on the clock West needed another one of their second half comebacks to rescue the game.
Sadly, it was not to be as Dinnington again punished poor tackling . Dynamic flanker Michael Leitch broke through the centre of the field and he had full back Duell Trueman in support to go in under the posts to earn his side a bonus point and a 38-19 lead.
Then came Miler's unfortunate injury half way into the West half. The physios deemed it unwise to move him and play resumed on a neighbouring pitch while the ambulance was called.
The restart was with a five metre scrum, and a distracted West defence was caught napping by scrum half Neil Francis who nipped over to set up yet another easy conversion.
There was time for a late flurry from West with Adam Coates popping up on the left wing and forcing his way over for what would have been a valuable try bonus point.
However, for the third time in the game the defence was there and the decision was "held-up." The response of Coates and skipper Dan Boatman turned a five metre scrum into a clearing penalty for Dinnington.
Dinnington: Duell Trueman, Connor Brown, Tyle Simpson, Chris Williams, Sam Crane, Jonny West (capt), Neil Francis, John Marshall, Matt Starr, Antony Toss, Andrew Pickering, Garry Woodcock, Tom Doughty, Michael Leitch, Will Marshall.

If you're considering career paths, you may have thought about accounting as an option. But before you can pursue it further, you'll need to know just what is involved in this kind of role. So, what does an accountant do?
A variety of roles
There are more options within accounting than you might think, with an array of different roles with varying responsibilities. Accountants can work in almost any industry, from entertainment to logistics, in roles from management to forensic accounting.
There are, however, common themes linking each of these roles together.
Processing transactions
All accountants have to deal with the numbers for an organisation, whether this is for their employer, or for clients at a firm. But what do we mean by "the numbers"?
Accountants are responsible for processing financial transactions. This means entering the invoices for both sales and purchases into the final accounts. It also means processing all bank transactions.
As you progress in your accountancy career, you are likely to be less involved with processing everyday business transactions, and more focused on the bigger picture.
You could be responsible for analysing information to get a good idea of how the organisation is performing. This can include calculating ratios to ensure financial goals are being achieved.
What does it take to become an accountant?
Watch the webinar with AAT qualified accounting tutor Patricia Barlow
As you gain experience and knowledge, your role could progress into the production of financial reports, which will include the profit or loss report, and the statement of financial position. These reports will then be used by stakeholders in the business to ascertain its performance.
At a higher level, you will need to ensure your organisation or your clients' organisations are compliant with the rules and regulations surrounding the production of accounting information.
It will also be part of your role to ensure the company plans for tax, calculates its liability, and pays it on time.
Future progression
The higher up in your accountancy career you move, the more your role will move from day-to-day processing to a focus on steering the company towards its goals.

The best time to plant a tree was yesterday, the next best time is now".
– An old Chinese saying
On a wet Sunday morning of 2nd July, over 60 volunteers consisting of members, friends and family of New Acropolis including 20 children participated in a tree plantation at the borders of the Sanjay Gandhi national park in Mumbai. Organised by the Active Ecology department of New Acropolis, the group was guided in their activity by Afzal and Nusrat Khatri a couple dedicated to several Ecological efforts across Mumbai, with a prime focus on adopting and transforming barren land into areas that support biodiversity.
After an informative briefing on the importance of the trees, and our role in increasing the green cover, volunteers were divided into groups. One group soon got into the act cleaning the area, while another got into digging up holes with spades and pickaxes. At each stage the advice provided by the Khatris' provided an insight to the volunteers on the role of forest conservation in a city like Mumbai.
Team work and effort were clearly visible at times where volunteers even resorted to forming a human chain to help clean up and pave a foot path amongst the plantation. This tree plantation drive was a part of a 3 day initiative where 350 trees were collected and planted in the area. At the end of a tiring mornings work, volunteers were able to walk away with a sense of pride for not only having planted saplings but also for having made a small contribution that over the years will hopefully fructify to making a big difference to the environment of our city that is today gasping for a breath of cleaner air.
As our city has grown into a megapolis we have neglected the ecological defects of this development. Mumbai city is said to have the greatest amount of reclaimed land anywhere in the world which unfortunately came at the cost of loss of mangroves and other biodiversity from the region. To add to this, carbon monoxide and particulate emissions have risen owing to development, traffic congestion and general loss of tree cover. Activities such as this tree plantation drive help put some balance back into our environment. The time for waiting and watching is over and as Philosophers the time to act is now.

Often times we are called upon to perform leaking balcony repairs Melbourne. There are many situations that can cause a balcony to leak. Many of the cases we run into are due to poor quality materials use or incorrect application. Other times we discover the person involved in the balcony waterproofing was simply unqualified for the job and ended up costing the owners thousands in repairs or a major hassle with insurance claims and trying to get these sorts of issues covered. Following is some helpful advice to help you avoid these pitfalls.
How to prevent leaking balcony repairs Melbourne
Leaking balconies, tiled areas and other outdoor structures are problems I deal with every day. I want to share some of the outdoor structure waterproofing issues I've dealt with and give you my top fixes.
Of course, this post is just an overview and every situation is different, so I recommend seeking professional advice before you attempt any DIY fixes.
What causes leaking balcony repairs in Melbourne?
Roughly 90 per cent of the structure failures I see are caused by poor workmanship, detailing and design rather than the membrane itself.
Are all balcony waterproofing contractors created equal?
If you own a building, you need to make sure any contractor you use for remedial repairs is experienced in that specific type of work.
I'm often approached to fix building defects after a lot of money has already been spent – often because the contractor doesn't have the knowledge or skills needed for the job.
Large amounts of money are often wasted on unnecessary repairs.
For example, at a recent job, a $12,000 ventilation system was installed in a sub-floor space that held 50-75 mm of surface water after heavy rain. We simply installed drainage to draw off the water in the first place, which was far more efficient and cost effective.
Expert engineer?
In another case, a so-called 'expert engineer' wrote a report listing a massive amount of rising damp in a property when in reality only one small area was affected. We installed ventilation at 40 per cent of the cost of new damp courses, which had been recommended. The installation of damp courses would have done nothing to fix the problem.
Money well spent
If an experienced contractor suggests paid investigation work, this can be money well spent. Alternatively a consultant can prepare a report and scope of the work needed.
Keep in mind however, that while investigation work can be worthwhile, inviting multiple contractors to provide quotes could also be a waste of money.
Waterproofing warranties
I've had one project where around $150,000 was wasted on 'repairs' – all of which failed.
I use all types of membranes and have had to repair or replace most types – liquid, sheet and loose laid PVC – that have been incorrectly applied. All have their advantages and disadvantages.
My advice is to ask for a manufacturer's warranty, normally for a period of 10 years. The technical rep from the supplier will visit the site and inspect the work as part of this process.
In a current contract I'm working on, the membrane has had many failures due to poor workmanship and design, despite being of high quality. The clients paid a premium for this system, but failed to get the manufacturer's back up. The contractor who installed it is no longer in business and multiple areas on the building need to be redone at considerable expense.
What to be aware of
Owners should also be careful when using companies who advertise that they can 'fix leaking balconies or showers without removing tiles'. There are cases where this can be a successful, cost-effective solution. In general, however, I suggest being cautious and reading the fine print of the warranty because these warranties often have a lot of 'outs'.
Why getting an expert remedial contractor is so important, the original membrane installed by the builder failed, the repair job by another contractor paid by the client also failed. I often fix things for the third and in one case the fourth time.
Why I don't like loose laid membranes. When there is a leak the water just tracks under it all over the place. At least with a liquid membrane system and in most cases a stuck on sheet membrane any leak occurs at the failure point. This also demonstrates why the edge details are so important for membranes and absolutely critical for loose laid ones.
Waterproofing checklist:
If you're waterproofing an exposed, above-ground outdoor structure like a balcony, use this simple checklist to make your life easier:
- Use a solid, well-built base under the membrane: The base must be constructed using moisture-resistant material with all holes or gaps filled.
- Do not apply the membrane to a level surface: The membrane must be applied to a surface with the required falls to the drainage outlet. Do not use the tile screed to form the required falls.
- Use a continuous membrane system: This must run from the outside edge, across the base and under the sills to the inside of the doors.
- Ensure the membrane turns up at the edge: Keep a suitable distance above the finished surface.
- Make waterproofing continuous: On low walls and on brick walls, the membrane should run under the wall then over it once it's built.
- Build a well-designed drainage system: It needs to cope with heavy rain to catch water and discharge it into the storm water system without backing up.
- Ensure sufficient overflows: This prevents water entering the building.
- Create a raised hob: A must-have for under items including columns, air conditioning outlets, plumbing and vents.
- Avoid fixing balustrade posts through the membrane: In general, the membrane must finish above the finished tile level.
- Allow for movement: This includes wall and base junctions, structural expansion joints and sheet joints.
- Make sure tiles aren't glued to membranes: This should only be done if there is no other option.
- Get a ten-year manufacturer's warranty
- Use compatible materials from the same supplier: This includes the membrane, sealants and adhesives. Get advice from the technical department if in doubt. I use Ardex Australia.
- Isolate the membrane during building works: Wait until the tiler has laid the screed over it before any other works are done in the area.
- Make sure the membrane is UV stable: They can break down quickly otherwise.
- Keep maintenance up to date: This includes keeping drains clear of debris, salt deposits and ensuring expansion joints are in good condition.Article Source
Fixing a leaking balcony can sometimes require major work to be carried out. This can disrupt peoples lives causing major inconvenience and allot of unecessary expense and stress. Always leave work like this up to professionals who are qualified to do the work correctly the first time.

* Two Beaver County residents have been charged by the state Office of Inspector General for food stamps fraud at the public welfare department office in Rochester:
- Carlos Edwards, 53, of 280 Linmar Terrace, Aliquippa, is accused of improperly obtaining $1,630 in food stamps from January 1, 2011, to May 31, 2011, by not reporting wages earned by his wife.
- Robin Miller, 47, of 3609 Constitution Blvd., Darlington Township, is accused of improperly obtaining $2,236 in food stamps from Dec. 1, 2009, to June 30, 2011, by failing to report child support income she was receiving.
* A Monaca man has been charged with illegal transfer of a firearm and lying on a legal document in Rochester.
State police reported Brandon Michael Carter, 32, of 804 Indiana Ave. illegally transferred ownership of a semi-automatic AK-47 rifle to John Brown's Armory, 198 Brighton Ave., on April 26, 2010.
Carter was not allowed to possess or sell firearms at the time because he was under a protection from abuse order, and lied about his status on legal documents, police said.

The loveliest trip I have ever taken has to be when I traveled to the French Riviera, the South of France. Every corner of Nice, France was breath-taking yet quaint. I stayed in Nice, but traveled around a bit for the few days that I was there on fall break in October.
The buildings were colorful and the people authentic. It felt like an off-season seaside resort filled with locals- not tourists – since we visited in October. And the weather was perfect for exploring.
Our first evening in Nice we climbed to the top of this tower for some spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. The water was bright blue with white foam waves crashing onto a gray pebble beach set against a colorful and hilly coastline.
We ate a three hour dinner in Old Town Nice that evening outside on a breezy night. It was a perfect French dinner experience filled with crepes, wine, seafood and laughter.
Each day we spent there my friends and I walked through gorgeous plazas, flower markets, and art shows. Every street you turned on was picture-worthy. I felt transported to another time and place. I had never been that relaxed in a foreign place before!
One morning my friends and I woke up and spontaneously decided we wanted to try and hop on a train to Italy for the day. That is the beauty of Europe, it is so easy to get from one country to the next. Within 45 minutes, we were in Ventimiglia, Italy!
Our first order of business was to eat lunch at an Italian restaurant. The woman serving us couldn't even speak English, which made it that much more special. That was something I noticed throughout the entire trip in the French Riviera, English wasn't spoke anywhere near as frequently as I had heard in Paris.
We visited two other cute areas of the Rivera: Villefranche and Beaulieu sur Mer. We traveled by bus to get to these places and they were only about 20 minutes from the center of Nice. Lots of cute restaurants and coffeeshops (although I did try ordering iced coffee and I implore you not to do so. The French don't have iced coffee and it was a very confusing conversation resulting in a mug of hot espresso with ice cubes in it.)
I highly recommend visiting the French Riviera. I remember feeling so sad on my last day, because I knew it would be a long time before I could return to this place. But it was the most memorable and vivid trip I have taken so far.

Not Every Successful Businessman Is Successful With PR
As a lifelong passionate Newcastle United fan I have been frustrated with the way the club has been run by owner, Mike Ashley. On 4th September, 2008, Newcastle United manager, Kevin Keegan resigned due to a falling out with Mike Ashley over signings that were being made by the club without Keegan's permission.
Since then, the fans have showed their anger and frustration out on Mike Ashley, and as a result he has put the club on the market twice, with both attempts failing. What has frustrated me and all the other fans is that since Keegan's resignation, communication between the owner and the fans has been almost none existent.
Mike Ashley hasn't told the fans what is going on with the club and what his plans are to take the club forward. He is a successful billionaire businessman, although his public relations knowledge is very poor. It took the club 13 months to appoint a permanent manager since Keegan's resignation, and in that time the fans were not told of any plans of who may become the manager.
Communication is vital in any football club, between the club and the fans, the club and the players, and the players and the fans. There was no communication with the players and the club either and this could have contributed to the players underperforming last season, which resulted in relegation.
When Keegan resigned he was claiming compensation on the ground of constructive dismissal, while Mike Ashley counter claimed for breach of contract. The Premier League arbitration panel concluded that Newcastle United should pay Keegan £2 million as in several publications it had been quoted that Keegan would have the last say on player transfers.
Mike Ashley was claiming that what was written in these publications about Keegan having the final say 'were nothing more than an exercise in public relations carried out so as not to undermine Mr. Keegan's position.' This annoyed many fans as Mike Ashley was openly admitting that he lied and misled the fans. This was very unethical of him and as a result none of the fans trust a word that he says. For many fans, this was the final straw, and at every Newcastle United match there are continuing protests by the fans to get the owner out of the club.
Maybe he should have done the MA Public Relations degree and none of this backlash from the fans would have happened!

Good point Raj! The problem with Ashely is he was never a Newcastle fan so he didn't share the passion of the fans. Similar things have happened at my club, Luton Town. It has been run by people who don't care about the team. They ran it like a business and didn't care about what the fans felt. As a result we almost went bust and now play non-league football. As you say good PR is vital for any football club owner to keep the fans, who are the lifeblood, onside.ReplyDelete
I agree with you, a football club owner needs to share the passion of the fans and have the same understanding as them in order to communicate effectively with them. I wish we had a new owner! Then again, although our previous owner was better at communcating, he was far worse on the business side of things as he run the club on massive amounts of debt.ReplyDelete

Chokehold is a Canadian vegan straight edge hardcore punk band from Hamilton, Ontario. They were active from 1990 to 1996, and came together again for a reunion tour in 2015 and 2017.
Choked was formed in 1990 in Hamilton.[1] Their first release More Than Ever was in 1991. This was followed in 1992 by a split EP with Crisis of Faith and the Life Goes On EP that same year. Their rise in popularity paralleled that of other vegan straight edge bands such as Earth Crisis and hardline bands like Vegan Reich and Raid.
In 1993 Chokehold released the Prison of Hope LP through American label Conquer the World Records (CTW). They released their next record, 1994's Instilled EP, on Philadelphia's Bloodlink Records. This EP featured some of their most political material to date, notably the anti-religious song "Anchor" and the anti-homophobia song "Mindset", and their kind of manifesto "Burning Bridges", that proclaim the Animal, Earth and Human Liberation.
They followed this in the next year with their second LP, Content With Dying. This album contained "Not a Solution," a vehemently pro-choice hardcore song.
They signed in 1996 to Germany's Mad Mob Records and recorded four new songs to be released as a split CD with Feeding the Fire, but after a European tour in 1996 the band decided to break up. They played their last show in March at the New Bedford Fest in Massachusetts.[2] These four songs were released as a self-titled EP on Jawk Records the following year. Members went on to play in such bands as The Swarm, Brutal Knights, Left for Dead, Haymaker, Our War and Seventy-Eight Days.
In 2015, remixed versions of the band's albums Prison of Hope and Content with Dying were re-released.[3] The band reunited and began touring in support of the new releases. Comments by a band member and a subsequent confrontation at their first performance led to allegations of racism which were denied by the band members and their label.[4][5]

Why students should prioritize their physical well-being
This past Friday, Oct. 13, Grand Valley State University President Thomas Haas led the GVSU community on a two-mile walk about the Allendale Campus to raise awareness about the importance and benefits of physical activity.
For students at GVSU, it can be all too easy to put exercise on the back burner and prioritize homework, studying, work and other personal commitments. Making time to work out becomes even more difficult (unrealistic, even) at this point in the semester when deadlines for midterm papers and projects loom ominously over students' schedules.
Inevitably, most students need to drop something from their schedules just to survive their busy semesters. Because exercise doesn't have an immediate, obvious effect on students' academic and career goals, it frequently gets dropped, right along with sleep and other activities that are usually directly related to students' physical health. In short, students frequently sacrifice their physical well-being for the sake of their academic well-being.
What some students may fail to realize, though, is that investing even a small chunk of time in their physical health may reap enormous benefits in their academic pursuits. Exercise, for example, boosts energy, helps clear mental fog and stimulates brain cell development, making long study sessions more bearable. It can also help regulate sleep, which in term regulates energy and mental clarity. In addition, exercise also improves memory retention, which can prove useful when it comes to studying for exams.
Making time for exercise is also an important part of living a well-rounded, balanced life in general. If students neglect this component of a balanced lifestyle, they will throw the other components (maintaining strong relationships, succeeding in school, etc.) out of whack. It is easy for students to forget to value their physical health in a college setting, but it is extremely important.
GVSU recognizes that although good students will spend much of their time studying and preparing for their future careers, it is just as important for them to develop good exercise habits to contribute to a healthy, well-rounded lifestyle.
That's why events like "Walk with the President" are so important, especially this time of the year. The university is sending the message that physical health should be prioritized right along with academic and mental health, just as it should be.
The university is practicing what it preaches, too, with its considerable investment in exercise-based resources like the recently renovated Recreation Center, which is encouraging more and more students to prioritize their physical health. The equipment there is accessible for all students, and even if running on a treadmill or counting reps on a bench press isn't your thing, getting involved with intramural sports or taking exercise classes are other easy and fun ways to stay active.

In November 2016, Matthew Taylor was commissioned by the Government to undertake an independent review of employment practices in the modern economy. He was asked to make specific recommendations and promote a national conversation, and explore how we can all contribute to work that provides opportunity, fairness and dignity.
The review considered the implications of new forms of work, driven by digital platforms, for employee rights and responsibilities, employer freedoms and obligations, and the existing regulatory framework surrounding employment. As originally commissioned, it did not include tax.
The report, Good work: the Taylor review of modern working practices, is now published.
ICAEW staff and active members met with Matthew in December 2016, specifically to explain why the review would be incomplete if it did not reference tax, and we followed this up with a written response ICAEW Representation 30/17. Following discussions with ICAEW and others, some aspects have been included in the report.
The report's recommendations focus on three challenges:
Summary of recommendations affecting tax
Throughout the report recommends greater clarity and simplicity.
It acknowledges that some of the changes being recommended may move the current classification goal posts and addresses the possibility of unintended consequences as people may be moved to different categories. For example, workers in the gig economy may have used substitution rights in their contracts to substantiate their self employed status both for law and for tax. They may find themselves reclassified as DCs. The report acknowledges this, but does so in the context of loss of flexibility which many works and engagers want.
The report is clear that workers doing the same work should pay the same levels of tax, and this means NIC in particular. In return they should all receive the same benefits in return for what they pay. It notes that most do already, especially since from 2016, their NIC contributions earn them the same rights to accrue the State pension entitlement. As Ministers have said recently that self employed rates of NIC will not be brought closer to employee rates, this is going to be politically sensitive. It does however make sense since following the abolition of class 2 NIC, it was always the expected intention that class 4 would have to increase. The report notes that raising public awareness will help to get public support for the necessary changes.
We welcome the statement regarding business that 'Businesses should structure their workforces in the most appropriate and efficient way possible, without the tax position distorting the decision.'
An online employment law status indicator tool is an ambitious suggestion, particularly given the challenges still being faced by HMRC in its attempts to adopt that approach for tax status.
We were surprised to see Making Tax Digital (MTD) feature in the report, but it welcomes the Making Tax Digital proposals, noting that it 'expects the Government to continue with MTD reforms as soon as possible'. In the event, we now understand that the implementation of MTD is being slowed and scaled back to a more manageable timetable, see separate news item, Welcome new plan for Making Tax Digital.
The report also notes that imposing cashless transactions as a way of enforcing tax could help tackle the tax gap. This seems a big step and could harm many small businesses which do not want to use internet banking. While the tax gap is a undoubtedly a problem, imposing an unwelcome burden on compliant small businesses would be unwelcome.
There was a lot in this report and we will have to wait and see how the Government responds to its challenges and suggestions. Certainly, these problems are not going to go away on their own and we can look forward to more discussion and consultation in these areas.

Blackhawks to see familiar faces in playing Panthersby Brian Hedger
PANTHERS (26-21-12) at BLACKHAWKS (35-20-5)
CHICAGO -- After taking a long look in the mirror, the Chicago Blackhawks will try to end a three-game losing streak while getting a look at their past at United Center on Tuesday.
The Blackhawks conclude a disappointing eight-game homestand against the Florida Panthers, who have six former Blackhawks in their organizational system and five on the NHL roster.
Injuries and ineffective play will keep all but Panthers defenseman Brian Campbell and forward Jimmy Hayes from facing their former team, but they'll have plenty of motivation being back at the Madhouse on Madison Street.
"It's always fun playing your old teammates, especially Brian Campbell," Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith said after Chicago's morning skate. "I got along with him good here and we're good friends to this day, so it's always fun playing guys you're familiar with. When you get out on that ice, the competitive nature takes over and you want to win the hockey game and do everything you can to get the best of them."
Blackhawks forward Kris Versteeg has played for both teams. He helped the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup in 2010, then played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Philadelphia Flyers and Panthers. Florida traded him back to Chicago last season in a trade that sent Hayes and defenseman Dylan Olsen to the Panthers.
"Florida was huge for me," said Versteeg, who had 54 points (23 goals) in 71 games in 2011-12 for the Panthers, the only full season he played in Florida because of injuries and the trade. "It helped me. I played the best hockey of my career there, that first year when I wasn't injured. I really enjoyed the time there and the experience, to become a top guy on a team and help a team that way."
Four other Panthers have Blackhawks roots as well. Center Dave Bolland signed with Florida as a free agent last offseason, while Campbell, forward Tomas Kopecky and center Brandon Pirri were each sent to the Panthers by Chicago in separate trades.
Upper-body injuries will keep Bolland and Pirri from playing. Kopecky will be a healthy scratch after having no points and a minus-6 rating in the past six games. Olsen is currently playing for Florida's affiliate in the American Hockey League.
"Anytime against any team you've played for, it's always fun to come back and see some old faces," said Campbell, who was traded from the Blackhawks to the Panthers at the 2011 NHL Draft. "It's another game on the schedule, but for us, I think this one's a little bit closer to the end of the season than when we're normally here and we're trying for the playoffs. They're battling for points too. It's going to be an exciting game."
The Chicago connection on the Panthers doesn't end with the players.
Blackhawks assistants Kevin Dineen and Mike Kitchen coached with the Panthers in separate stints, with Dineen the coach from 2011-14. Florida general manager Dale Tallon preceded Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman in Chicago, and Panthers assistant coach John Madden centered the Blackhawks' fourth line for much of their run to the 2010 Stanley Cup.
Tallon is the main reason so many former Blackhawks dot his team's roster, drawing from veteran experience in some cases and granting more opportunity to prospects. Hayes, a 6-foot-6, 221-pound power forward, is a good example.
"It's all about opportunity and playing," said Hayes, who has 17 goals and 10 assists playing on the top line. "I've just got to continue to develop my own game as a big power guy. Everything's a business thing. Now it's just about opportunity and it's going well."
Rookie goaltender Scott Darling will start for the Blackhawks, while veteran Roberto Luongo will start for the Panthers.
Here are the projected lines:
Jussi Jokinen – Nick Bjugstad – Jimmy Hayes
Jonathan Huberdeau – Aleksander Barkov – Brad Boyes
Tomas Fleischmann – Vincent Trocheck – Scottie Upshall
Garrett Wilson – Derek MacKenzie – Shawn Thornton
Dmitry Kulikov – Erik Gudbranson
Steven Kampfer – Alex Petrovic
Scratched: Sean Bergenheim, Tomas Kopecky
Injured: Willie Mitchell (upper body), Dave Bolland (upper body), Brandon Pirri (upper body)
Brandon Saad – Jonathan Toews – Marian Hossa
Patrick Sharp – Brad Richards – Patrick Kane
Bryan Bickell – Andrew Shaw – Kris Versteeg
Joakim Nordstrom – Marcus Kruger – Ben Smith
Niklas Hjalmarsson – Brent Seabrook
Duncan Keith – Michal Rozsival
Kyle Cumiskey – David Rundblad
Scratched: David Rundblad, Tim Erixon, Daniel Carcillo
Injured: Trevor van Riemsdyk (patella surgery)
Status report: Quenneville said there could be some news regarding van Riemsdyk following the game. It could be a conditioning stint in the AHL or the Blackhawks might activate him for the upcoming road trip. … Bergenheim will miss a seventh straight game as a healthy scratch and has played two of the previous 11 games. … Wilson will make his season debut, but what line he's on is a guess. Coach Gerard Gallant only said he would play left wing.
Who's hot: Toews has two goals and four assists in the past four games, including a goal in the Blackhawks' most recent game Sunday.

Her landlord terminated the lease and sued to evict her on the grounds that the AirBnb rentals of the unit were illegal under Santa Monica law. The Santa Monica rent control ordinance specifically allows termination and eviction for any illegal activity. The residential zoning for the property makes any rental for less than 30 days illegal. Santa Monica does not have an AirBnb exception. The trial court granted the eviction, because the use was illegal.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is left from Spring 2018. Updates coming soon. Message us for other inqueries please.
What is a Hackathon?
A hackathon is best described as an "invention marathon". Anyone who has an interest in technology attends a hackathon to learn, build, & share their creations over the course of a weekend in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. You don't have to be a programmer and you don't have to be majoring in Computer Science. We have cool hardware to play with and lots of workshops to introduce participants to technology.
What is Hackital?
Hackital is a hackathon in the capital. We are focused on mentorship and learning. We give participants resources and incentives to go out of their way to learn new things from each other and apply the skills they have. By the end of a hackathon weekend we hope people will have created cool new things and also become better problem solvers.
Who can participate?
Anyone can apply to participate in the Hackathon. Applications are based on interest in Ethereum and demonstrated ability to code or meaningfully contribute to a project. Applications from any corner of the globe will be accepted. PLEASE NOTE that non-technical contributors are welcome as well. If you have something you think you can add to the ecosystem – whether it's a knack for crafting white papers to explain dApps, a creative or artistic perspective, or an entrepreneurial vision – we'd welcome your talents and skills on one of the Hackathon teams.
How much does this event cost to attend?
Short answer: nothing.
Longer answer: Hackathons are great places to learn new things and exchange ideas. We think that charging for admission would seriously diminish this so there will never be any charge for attending any Hackital event.
Will there be food?
Yes, food (and soylent!) will be provided while you are at the event. We will have veggie options and accommodate anyone's specific needs.
Is there a travel reimbursement?
No, unfortunately, we can't offer any reimbursements.
How do I get to George Washington University
We are very accessable via metro and there is parking nearby.
Where will I sleep?
Grab a soylent and some coffee and hack through the night! If that doesn't appeal to you, we will have gender separated silent dark rooms but don't provide any sleeping accommodations, so bring your own sleeping bag if you'd like to lay down at some point.
What if I don't have an idea / team / coding skills?
Not a problem! You can find all things you can find at the event. You may also want to use the event's facebook page to find team members with similar interests or different skills. This will be made a few weeks before the event.
What are the prizes?
Prizes will be announced at Hackital's opening ceremonies. We're excited to announce them! There will also be several cash bounties up for grabs by our sponsors and friends.
What should I bring?
Bring a valid ID, anything you need to hack with (like a laptop), toiletries, and some enthusiasm! Additionally you might want to bring a sleeping bag & pillow if you plan on sleeping, and a change of clothes. An extension cord / surge protector would be great too.
Can I start working before the event?
No. We want to see what you can come up with in one weekend.
How does judging work?
Every team will get a few minutes to pitch their idea and show a demo to a panel of experienced judges. We want to focus on technical difficulty and not just UI.
How big can my team be?
Teams can be as large as you like, but prizes are only for teams of up to 4 people so we suggest you aim for teams of 4.
Can I still come to Hackital if I am not participating in the hackathon?
Unfortunately, we will not have space. However, follow us on social media because we may be running additional workshops throughout the year.
When will I know if I have been accepted?
Waves of acceptances go out every Wednesday night until we are full, at which point you will be notified.
What if I am new to hackathons?
There's a first time for everything. If you're not an experienced developer, that's quite alright. If you're interested in learning, even better reason to come. We'll provide mentors, resources and workshops to help you sharpen your skills and unleash your inner awesomeness. Be eager, coachable and open. You never know what you might be able to create.
What sort of workshops will there be?
We will have several beginner level intro workshops focused on making dApps, learning Solidity, and Ethereum development fundamentals. There will also be a few deeper dive workshops for more experienced folks.
Can I leave the event to go explore DC and come back?
Yes, please do. The District is beautiful in April and the cherry blossoms may still be blooming during Hackital. We will have a shuttle going between our venue and the Foggy Bottom neighborhood, which is adjacent to the White House, Lincoln Memorial area, and a few blocks from the National Mall where the rest of the monuments are.
What if I have a question that isn't answered here?
Email us at
We would love to answer any other questions you have!
