Sorry we didn't blog last week, we were on tour… No, not with Lord Dodo's heavy metal band the Wailing Dodo's (one for another blog, I'm sure *hemhem*), but to celebrate National Stationery Week at the London Stationery Show! Like Nelly the Elephant before him, Lord Dodo proudly packed his trunk (and we packed ours) and we transported our wares up to the big smoke to showcase the best of Dodo Pad at the Business Design Centre in London's Islington. Though we did request from HRH Queen Elizabeth II that The Royal Train be used to ferry His Lordship to the city, unfortunately the locomotive was in for a service on the 1 – 2 April and therefore we had to find an alternative mode of transport . The drive from Cornwall meant several pit stops to stretch wings and legs, but we made it to the capital in one piece and boy, was it worth the journey! From pens and sticky notes to little folding contraptions and staple-less staplers that – if it wasn't down to the little perspex window that shows you exactly how it works, you'd surely mark down as witchcraft – the show was a feast for the senses; a true stationery lovers' paradise. Taking place during National Stationery Week (a fantastic campaign to 'Get Britain Writing' – you can read more here) some of the nicest little companies – including us *blush* – showcased the latest and best products on their stands. We proudly displayed next year's diary (it's the one before the big 50th edition – hold on to your hats!), the new, blue and just for you Acad-Pad 2014/15 and our new Dodo Mini Blank Book along with our range of greetings cards and even our very special (and freshly hatched) Dodo Jotter! The London Stationery Show is a very special place, with the best of the best stationery on display for all to see, touch, sniff and peck at. We went, we saw, we made new friends and showed the stationery world what Dodo Pad is all about. We only wish you could have all been there to have a good laugh with us on our stand. You'll have to save your giggles for Lord Dodo's 50th birthday bash and bonanza, which you're all invited to! Details to follow in due course, stay in touch with us here, on Twitter or on Facebook! Or if you'd like to be 'Kept Posted' on the #DodoJubilee celebrations sign up here.

'Tis the Planning Season
Hallooo, dear Dodopadlers! Miss Peabody here.
As I was noting down a date in my Dodo Pad diary today, I realised that there are less than two months until Christmas! Goodness me, the time does fly. I immediately brought out my Dodo Book of Christmas and began planning.
You may say it is too early to begin planning the festive season, but I say pish-posh. I require some time to reflect on what I have done for past Christmas celebrations in order to decide what to do this year. Same? Different? Decisions, decisions!
Every year I am in charge of decorating the Grand Hall at Dodo Towers, which I greatly enjoy. Ever the organisational whiz, I use the 'Decorations' section of my Christmas Book to draw schematic diagrams of the Hall to help me decide where to place the tree this year, whether the flashy lights should go all the way up the stairs or on the balcony only, and where to hang the mistletoe (I hang it in a different location each year to try to position myself under it when Lord Dodo is near, but alas he never seems to notice the greenery above my head…).
Each year we have a feast of staggering epic belt bursting great proportions. In the 'Recipes' section I keep the menus from previous years as well as all my Christmas recipes (including my Great-Great-Gran's famous recipe for Christmas Pudding – always a crowd-pleaser!).
The (ever-lengthening) Cards lists show to whom I have sent cards each year and who has sent cards to me. The handy pockets in each divider help me keep track of those little scraps of ideas and notes that otherwise would be lost. Amazing capturing device! The 'Gifts' section reminds me what I gave to whom each year, to avoid any embarrassment of repetition.
The 'Children' section is excellent to record children's games, activities, and holiday performances each year. Young Master Ludodo and little Lady Cosima Dodo adore the holidays as all children do, and this section not only helps plan their fun but also has become a sentimental record of their seasonal delights. How Lady Dodo cherishes those sweet memories!
But perhaps my favorite section in the Book of Christmas is the 'Traditions' section. We have many traditions here at Dodo Towers, my favorite of which is wassailing out and about among the neighbours. I must say, the Hardworking Sales and Customer Service team has several members blessed with lovely voices, led by Bert Whistle's booming baritone. Great fun!
With the Book of Christmas, planning is almost as fun as the festive season itself!
Happy planning to you all, and toodle-oo for now!

Technology is advancing flooring materials' durability and making all flooring types easier to mimic and maintain. Homeowners can have classic hardwood look with the easily maintained and low price of laminate flooring. Now, we're finding that homeowners can bend the rules of which floors can and cannot be around moisture. With the new developments in these 5 waterproof flooring options, we may be seeing trends of the once forbidden floors owning their new space.
Pets, kids, and frequent guests inevitably put your home at risk for something to be spilled. Your new puppy may confuse your carpet with the backyard, or your kids may be having too much fun to realize they knocked over their bright blue drink a ten minutes ago. What could be the solution? How can we keep with our aesthetics and have flooring that makes sense for our lifestyle?
Waterproof flooring does exist!
Vinyl flooring is easily one of the top flooring options for 2019. It mimics wood so effortlessly and its durability is hard to beat. WPC is an acronym for Waterproof Core or Wood Plastic Composite.
A new generation of vinyl flooring has come into the marketplace with enhanced stability, durability, and stain and dent resistance. This is backed by 4 layers of highly effective technology.
Printed Vinyl Layer. This is the top layer that mimics the appearance of hardwood flooring and even stone.
The wear layer. This layer is the protection on top of your printed vinyl layer. It does very well at protecting dents and scratches. The thicker the layer, the better the durability.
Backing layer. This is the backbone of your plank.
WPC core. This is a solid, waterproof, WPC core. It won't swell, peel or ripple no matter how much moisture or liquid comes in contact with it.
This one may be obvious because tile is typically found in areas prone to moisture and wetness. Tile has a very durable glaze that does not let any water seep through. Additionally, this glaze makes cleaning an absolute breeze.
Tile also has the ability to mimic other more expensive flooring options such as stone and hardwood.
Related Topic: 5 Benefits of Having Tile Floors
Laminate flooring is new to the waterproof flooring scene, therefore, it is a fantastic option but it does come with some flaws. Because it is so new, you don't have very many options to choose from and it tends to be more expensive than vinyl. However, there are a few benefits.
Related Topic: Advantages of Laminate Flooring
On our list of 5 waterproof flooring options, this one may have shocked you. I know what you're thinking. Carpet isn't waterproof. When in fact, now it is.
How? Waterproof carpet has a water and soil repellent that protects the carpet from spills and dirt, and offer complete protection of the carpet fiber. Even if spills reach the base of the carpet, it'll get pushed back up to the surface so even wine can be blotted back up.
Scottsdale Flooring America carries Shaw brand carpeting which has the ultimate waterproof carpeting. On top of this water and soil repellent, it has Lifeguard, guaranteeing nothing will penetrate.
Rubber flooring may sound a little too out of the ordinary, but you'll be happy to know it comes in many different patterns and colors. You may be surprised to find a style that could work for you. Additionally, rubber flooring can come in tiles, making clean-up even easier.
While these types of waterproof flooring options may or may not impress you, you do have the option to waterproof your flooring yourself. However, this process is tedious and complicated and you may benefit from contacting a flooring professional who can best direct you to the help you need.
If you are in the process of trying to find out the best flooring options for your lifestyle, we invite you to visit our showroom. We have a number of experienced professionals that don't even work on commission. We're here to help you through the entire journey and make it fun instead of stressful.
Scottsdale Flooring America is a part of the largest floor buying group in the state. This means prices are negotiated to there lowest so we can pass the savings along to homeowners in the valley. Contact us today to start your floor buying journey!

Preference Set Format
Over the course of the Cloud4All project, the GPII Needs and Preference Set (NP set) format was revised several times based on feedback and contributions from Cloud4All's matchmaking, context-awareness, and architecture teams. In particular, a number of improvements were made, including:
- support for user-defined contexts and conditions
- users can now define priorities for their preferences, improving a Matchmaker's ability to resolve conflicts in a preference set
- containers for metadata such as provenance were added
Figure 4 provides an example of a preference set in the new format, which is now supported throughout all major components within Cloud4All.
{ "contexts": { "gpii-default": { "name": "Default preferences", "preferences": { "http://registry.gpii.net/common/fontSize": 12 } }, "nighttime-at-home": { "name": "Nighttime at home", "preferences": { "http://registry.gpii.net/common/fontSize": 24 }, "conditions": [ { "type": "http://registry.gpii.net/conditions/timeInRange", "from": "18:00", "to": "06:00" "inputPath": "http://registry\\.gpii\\.net/common/environment/temporal\\.time" }, { "type": "http://registry.gpii.net/conditions/inRange", "min": 700, "inputPath": "http://registry\\.gpii\\.net/common/environment/visual\\.illuminance" } ], "metadata": [ { "type": "provenance", "scope": ["http://registry.gpii.net/common/fontSize"], "source": "snapshotter" }, { "type": "required": "scope": ["*"] // all preferences in this context are required. } ], "priority": 100 } } }
Figure 4: An example of the GPII needs and preferences set JSON format, featuring support for contexts, conditions, priorities, and metadata.
User-Defined Contexts
NP Sets are now grouped at top level into a container called contexts, which allows users to define their own custom groups of contextual preferences. Each context is given a document-unique identifier as well as a friendly user-readable name. A special identifier,
gpii-default, is reserved for the user's default preferences; this context is applied in absence of an appropriately matching context.
Each context is determined by a set of conditions contained within the conditions array. The format for conditions is also declarative. In other words, it is a standard JSON data structure that can be operated on by any programming language. As a result, this format is straightforward to read and process, and substantially easier to programmatically generate than one based on a grammar-based approach. Since it is assumed that components across the GPII system (many of which are written in different programming languages) will manipulate conditions, this approach represents a significant advantage for interoperability.
Conditions and operators take the form of named terms associated with a JSON object describing their arguments. These terms are bound by the runtime system (e.g. the GPII Context Evaluator component) to a function that will evaluate the condition or operator. Operators are identified by the special keyword "operator".
"conditions": { "operator": { "type": "http://registry.gpii.net/operators/booleanOR", "operands": [ { "type": "http://registry.gpii.net/conditions/timeInRange", "from": "18:00", "to": "06:00" }, { "type": "http://registry.gpii.net/conditions/location", "gps": { "lat": "79.3N", "long": "74.9W" }, "range": { "value": 200, "unit": "metres" } } ] } }, "priority": 0.5
Figure 5: Example of a declarative condition specification that uses a boolean OR operator to define context of "whenever it's night time or I'm at home."
Conditions, Operators, and Priorities
Condition Evaluator Functions...
- are bound to a condition term identifier (e.g.
- take as input an arbitrary condition "value"
- take as input some form of relevant context data (e.g. device reporter information, time of day, environmental reporter data, etc.)
- return an appropriate value (e.g. a boolean if the condition is successfully matched)
Operator Functions...
- are bound to an operator term identifier (e.g.
- take an array of operands as an argument
- may contain sub-operators
- defer to a set of condition evaluator functions to evaluate its conditions
- return an appropriate value (e.g. a boolean value for a boolean operator)
Priority Values...
- are IEEE 754 floating point numbers
- represent the priority for a particular collections of preferences in the case that multiple contexts match equally
- reserve values above 1024 for "system-level" prioritization
- are optional
Another benefit of this architecture for conditional preferences is its ease of "authorability." We know that users will employ a variety of tools to create, edit, and manage their preferences sets. In order to provide good user interfaces for editing conditions, we will need an architecture that is semantic—one that closely captures the user's natural terminology and concepts. Initial sketches for Cloud4All's conditional format used low-level boolean operators to define conditions; further exploration and discussion revealed that this approach significantly limits the usability of the interfaces we can provide to the user. The current format emphasizes higher-level semantics that will facilitate the creation of highly usable authoring UIs. These high-level user concepts (e.g. "in the range of", "in the morning", etc.) will be registered as condition terms in the Common Terms Registry and bound to particular evaluation functions by the runtime environment. As a result, the set of conditions and operations that can be expressed is both semantic and extensible.
Previous versions of the NP Set format were only capable of modelling user preferences. However, it is often necessary to store other information that is associated with a preference, but is not, in itself, an expression of what the user needs or wants. For example, Matchmakers may want to analyse the provenance of a particular preference (i.e the source from which it came, such as the Snapshotter or the Preferences Management Tool), and the algorithms by which it has been processed (e.g. the Statistical or Rule-based Matchmaker). A user may also want to describe the fact that some preferences are absolutely required for them to operate a computer, while others are just preferred. In both cases, this information is stored in a metadata container. Metadata can be either context-specific or can apply to all preferences within the user's set.

Kenya has ratified agreements to normalise its participation in joint regional peace keeping missions.
On Tuesday last week, the National Assembly approved Kenya's signatures on the East African Community Protocol on Cooperation in Defence Affairs, the Mutual Defence Pact between Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda and the Agreement on the Establishment of the Eastern Africa Standby Force.
The protocol, which Kenya signed in April 2012, is meant to enhance cooperation on regional "all defence affairs" such as joint rescue operations, peace missions, shared military training and exchange of information.
It allows EAC member states to collaborate with regional and international organisations on matters "of peace, security and stability of the community".
The protocol is expected to boost the adoption of the Eastern Africa Standby Force, whose creation was hampered by Kenya's presence in many regional bodies without a proper arrangement to coordinate military operations.
The agreements will now be deposited with the (EAC) secretary-general.

Mobile payment technology is set to disrupt legacy business models, owing to new technological innovations such as integration of wearables, biometrics, and blockchain technology. For instance, in September 2018, Infinito Wallet launched the Universal wallet with Cardanol's ADA cryptocurrency support. The technology is expected to pave way for fast and secure transfers through a smart contract platform, specifically for applications that consumers, businesses, and governments can rely on.
The global e-commerce boom is a primary factor expected to drive the mobile wallet market growth during the forecast period, 2019–2026. The e-commerce market is growing at a rapid pace on account of the increasing penetration of smartphones and the internet, which has compelled e-commerce companies to rely on strategic acquisitions and new product development to expand their market presence. In December 2017, Kroger Co., a Cincinnati-headquartered grocery chain, launched a new mobile payment option by teaming up with JPMorgan Chase & Co to offer mobile payment options with select retail markets and e-commerce programs in 2018.
As mentioned above, blockchain technology could revolutionize mobile wallet technology by mitigating the cybersecurity risk associated with digital transactions. Blockchain technology can provide a secure medium for identity verification and authentication of a user's financial transaction. In blockchain technology, all transactions are time stamped, encrypted and tamper-proof, which largely reduces the issues of fraud and double spending. Currently, the average remittance charged by any financial intermediary (bank) for performing any financial transaction is about 7.5 to 10%. The adoption of blockchain would enable customers to have direct point-to-point transactions without a need for third-party interface, thereby reducing expensive transaction fees.
The global mobile wallet market was valued at USD 700 Billion in 2017 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 37% during the forecast period.
Intended Audience
Mobile Wallet Market Segmentation
The global mobile wallet market can be segmented on the basis of wallet type, payment mode, and application.
Based on wallet type, the market can be segmented into device-centric, merchant-centric, network-centric and others. On the basis of payment mode, the market can be segmented into near field communication (NFC) and remote payment. Based on application, the market can be segmented into mobile commerce, mobile transfers, micropayments, and others.
Regional Analysis
North America is estimated to hold the largest share in the mobile wallet market, owing to rapid developments in mobile wallet technology, which have intensified competition among various companies in the U.S. with an intention to improve consumer convenience and lower payment costs. For instance, in 2010, AT&T and T-Mobile launched a near field communication-based mobile wallet with payment credentials secured through mobile network operators. In the same year, Stripe was launched, which reduced the time associated with accepting online card payments. In 2016, Google upgraded its wallet for person-to-person purposes, and Android Pay was launched. At the same time, bank-centric wallets such as Capital One, Chase Pay, and others were also launched.
The Point of Sale (POS) environment is changing rapidly in Canada, owing to the increased usage of tablets and mobile devices for payments in e-commerce. These devices have enabled the creation of a secure channel to conduct financial transactions. In 2016, Payments Canada enhanced its framework to allow mobile payments through POS by introducing the process of tokenization, which replaces customers' banking credentials with proxy credentials, thereby introducing privacy in customer transaction. Additionally, the integration of high-level authentication methods such as biometrics for the protection of banking credentials is also projected to fuel the demand for mobile wallets in Canada.
PayPal, one of the global players in the e-wallet market, has expanded in Europe by integrating with many e-commerce platforms. It has also recently rolled out its mobile app to offer a better user experience. Additionally, other companies that are expanding in Europe include Apple, Samsung, Alipa, and others. Alipay has recently acquired the support of more than 900,000 merchants in Europe for supporting Asian communities and travelers abroad.
The emergence of new players in the mobile wallets market, such as Yoga Wallet and Pay by Bank App in the U.K., has also intensified competition. Pay by Bank App was developed by four of the biggest banks in the U.K., namely Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Halifax, and Lloyds Bank and offers a secure and trusted solution to customers. On the other hand, Yoga wallet adopts a competitive strategy to indulge incorporated player and their beneficial schemes into their application, thereby expanding its consumer base. The Yoga wallet application has received an investment of about USD 15 Million from the retail company, Metro Group, which would be used for its expansion.
Key Players
Some of the key players operating in the market include American Express, Apple Inc., Google Inc., Blackberry Ltd., Sprint Corporation, MasterCard Incorporated, AT&T INC, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, and Visa Inc.

Did you know most people only wear 20% of the clothes they own 80% of the time? Keep this factoid in mind as we talk about tips for downsizing from a house to an apartment. No matter why you're downsizing, the transition can seem daunting without these quick tips.
1. Determine What You Already Have
Once you've figured out exactly how much square footage you have in your new apartment, you can tackle the task of sorting through what you already have and then choosing what items are moving with you and what items are not.
2. Organize Your Belongings
It's important to prioritize in the early phases of downsizing. Identify the most important items you have which will most likely be key furniture such as your bed, sofas, dining table, bedside tables, and chairs. Start planning out where you will put these items first as they are the most important. Then you can begin to plan around with decor or smaller items.
3. Consider Lifestyle Changes
Getting into the mindset of your new life will be extremely helpful to your downsize project. Consider how your everyday activities will change in your new surroundings. For example, according to a long distance moving company in Dallas, if you are moving to a city without good public transportation, you need to restructure your budget to allow more spending on gas.
Think about your lifestyle changes as you go through your possessions and determine which ones make the cut, and which ones are better left behind. Consider things that may be useful to you now but won't be useful in an apartment and a different environment.
4. Choose Your Supplies Wisely
As you start packing, it may be helpful to designate boxes: items you're taking with you, items you're giving away, items you're putting in storage, items you're throwing away. Remember, long-term storage can be expensive, so if there are items you don't want to get rid of but don't have space for (like a piano, for instance) ask a friend or family member to store those for you.
5. Deciding What to Give Away vs. Keep
Many people find it hard to discard their belongings even if they haven't used them in a long time. While there is no getting around the sentimental value an item might have you should ask yourself two important questions when sifting through your things. One: how useful is it? And two: does it have aesthetic value?
Remember the stat we threw at you in the beginning of this post? Your downsize project may seem intimidating but the fact is most of the items we accumulate in our homes are not particularly useful. While you won't want to bring a rarely used kitchen mixer, you may want to bring a rarely read book. Why? Because books are great accent pieces that can add aesthetic appeal without breaking the budget.
6. Declutter Your Life
Making the most use of your available space will be very important when downsizing. For many, this means minimizing clutter. No matter how organized you are, we all have clutter and moving is the perfect time to declutter your life.
One helpful hint for minimizing clutter is using wirelessly connected devices like printers and laptops so you don't have a bunch of wires creating an eyesore in your new place. Plus, if you're relocating to a new office, you may consider bringing some home items to your new space (i.e. small plants, notepads, etc.) Also, utilize the space under your bed and behind your doors (door-mounted shoe racks and underbed storage are great sources of organization).
A Great Opportunity
In reality, downsizing is a great opportunity to simplify, de-stress and reprioritize your life. It's a chance to reinvent yourself and your living space. So we hope this post has given you a positive perspective of the whole ordeal. Ready, Set, Go!

It's no secret Jefferson Parish's Elmwood neighborhood is a shopping destination for residents across the Greater New Orleans Area. Its large shopping center has a great selection of big-box stores, its movie theater boasts 20 screens, and its area attractions include an indoor trampoline park and laser tag venue. In addition to an abundance of amenities, Elmwood is an ideal place for those looking for a quiet and affordable alternative to downtown New Orleans living.
Living in Elmwood makes shopping a breeze. Elmwood Shopping Center is a one-stop shop for all of the items on your shopping list. In one trip, you can find new shoes at DSW, find a new dining table at World Market, find a television at Best Buy, and more! Instead of having to drive all over town to get the items you need, you can make one trip to one central location and then head right on home! It will save you gas, time, and a lot of patience.
Elmwood's little corner of the Mississippi River is a quaint residential area with quick access to paved bike paths, public parks, and recreational spaces. La Salle Park is a well-kept multi-purpose recreational space for sports and nature explorations. Its nature boardwalk winds through native cypress trees, making it a scenic and calming spot for outdoor enthusiasts.
If you're looking for some two-wheeled fun, the paved levee bike path is a great way to enjoy the action on the river while you get some exercise in. Pack a blanket and some snacks for a riverside picnic, or wind your way over to Oak Street on the outskirts of New Orleans for some good local eats and live music.
Elmwood might be a shopping haven, but it's also a secluded treasure. Many of our 1st Lake properties sit tucked away on peaceful, open green areas which provide a feeling of escape and relaxation.

You can go for an easy evening stroll alongside the flowing streams of Palmetto Creek. Every one of our Elmwood locations is designed to make you feel like you're living in a remote luxury retreat.

It's not hard to find countless tips and best practices for apartment hunting online, but what if you're looking for the perfect apartment space for you and your significant other?
While apartment hunting individually or as a couple can be similar in many ways, there are certain factors to consider that are unique to approaching the process as a pair – just like deciding how to spend the holidays or making big purchases. If you're launching into an apartment hunt with that special someone, check out these 3 things that'll make the process faster, easier and more enjoyable for both of you.
1. Know Your Apartment Negotiables & Non-Negotiables in Advance
This is a largely ignored step that can save couples a ton of hassle and disagreements. Before launching into your couple apartment search, make sure to write separate lists of each of your apartment negotiables and non-negotiables. Then, combine all your non-negotiables into one list and make this your starting point. If the list seems too long, try to cut it down by eliminating items that both of you don't feel strongly about. Completing this exercise before going into the process will be instrumental in avoiding nasty surprises later on.
For example, are there certain locations that won't work for one of you? Is a community pool a necessity or are both of you willing to forgo that amenity? Questions like these can help both partners get on the same page and narrow down the apartment search criteria – separating the necessities from the "icing on the cake" items will help speed up the apartment search process tremendously.
2. Split the Apartment Search to Double the Efficiency
Okay, we get it, you do everything together. However, when it comes to apartment hunting as a couple, this may not be the most efficient strategy. We suggest maximizing the fact that there are two of you – you can cover twice as many locations, online resources and showings if you split the search process between the two of you. While there will be times when you need to research a listings site or attend an apartment appointment as a pair, tackling some of the legwork separately can make your apartment search twice as effective.
To avoid any miscommunication or confusion, make sure to keep each other in the loop through cc'd emails, pictures and regular touch bases. As far as visiting apartments solo, that's what FaceTime is for.
3. Establish a Soft Timeline
When you first decide to rent, you've most likely discussed a feasible timeline for research, appointments, application process, etc. However, it's best not to place a hard deadline on when to make a decision. Unless there are factors such as a new job or the birth of a child to consider, it's best to leave plenty of room for research, discussion and changes of heart. Renting an apartment as a couple should never be approached in a rushed fashion, and if one person isn't 100% on board with a particular place, it's best to wait rather than try to convince them otherwise.
Apartment hunting with a significant other can be an exciting time but can turn ugly if both parties aren't open to reaching common ground. It's important to consider your partner's point of view while being clear about your own needs and non-negotiables. As long as you know what to stand firm on and what to let go, you'll be moving into both of your dream apartment in no time!
Finding the ideal apartment is a big part of the puzzle when moving as a couple but there are many other moving-related tasks to consider as well. If you're moving in the near future, check out CableMover's Custom Moving Guide for personalized tips, tools & timelines for your move – your way.

Congratulations, you've found a great new apartment!
Before you settle in, you must go through the inevitable moving process. If you opt to do the moving yourself, there are a number of factors you must consider. Number one: how am I going to get my stuff from here to there? Before you jump the gun and rent a truck, consider the following items.
Thinking about renting a truck for a DIY move? Consider these factors:
For the most part, if you're staying in the same place or making a short move (from the city to the suburbs), a rental truck makes sense.
However, if you're moving across the state or out-of-state, make sure the company offers one-way trips. That way, you can drive the truck from your original destination and leave it at the new one. Before renting, make sure to check whether or not the company charges large fees for driving out-of-state or not returning to the pick-up destination.
You can estimate your U-Haul rate here.
Once you have decided you're renting a truck, make sure to get the right size. You don't want to be driving around an extra-large truck for no reason, but by the same token you don't want to choose a truck that's too small to safely fit your belongings. Make sure to consult your truck rental company before settling on a vehicle.
Make sure to reserve your truck for the correct length of time. If you think your drive will take two days, reserve the truck for three. You don't want to be hit with crazy overage fees.
Also, book your truck as far ahead of time as possible. Trucks can be hard to nail down, especially during peak moving season (May through September).
If you have several vehicles, you may need to rent a trailer and a hitch to tow them. Make sure to have the correct materials to transport your motorcycle, boat, or extra car safely.
Once all of your moving transportation is set up, you need to think about the actual items you are moving. Buy dollies, pads, and packing materials to avoid damaging any furniture or decor. You'll also likely be able to rent these items from your moving company.
Movers are a fantastic option if you have more flexibility in your budget. Professional movers can move more quickly, safely, and easier than you can, even with the help of your friends and family in tow. Here are our top 3 ways to save money when you hire movers:
Although the end of July and early August are prime moving seasons for students, if you can move in less busy moving months or in the middle of the month, movers usually have more availability. This can translate to lower rates!
The closer you try to book movers to your move, the harder it is to a) find ones who are available and b) find them at an affordable price. Aim to book a moving company as far in advance as possible to secure lower rates and enjoy that priceless gift: peace of mind. At least two weeks in advance is recommended.
It's easy for additional charges to spring up during the moving process if you use movers. Most movers charge for extras like packing, unpacking, flights of stairs, long-distance carrying, or multiple pickups. Remember to be as transparent as possible about the conditions of your move, and confirm all charges before movers get started so you aren't taken by surprise.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- A new apartment complex with 151 units will open in Broad Ripple at the beginning of April. While the project had pushback from the community to start, nearby businesses are excited about a potential uptick in sales.
The apartments, named The Coil, sit on College Avenue, just north of the Canal. Future tenants will have options of a studio, one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments, and townhouses.
Browning Investments developed the apartments, with shares a wall with a soon-to-open Fresh Thyme.
"We're very excited," said Angie Wethington, the vice president of asset management at Browning. "It's doing a lot of different things. It is creating more space for people to come and live, buy and be a part of Broad Ripple."
Wethington said she and her staff can't wait for people to start moving in come April 1 and are very pleased with the work of Sheehan Construction, whose workers are putting on the finishing touches from now until the end of March.
With an additional 200 or more people soon to call Broad Ripple home, nearby businesses are hoping the new residents will realize their part of town has more to offer than the night life it's known for.
"People think that this is just a night life area and that there's nothing to do in Broad Ripple," said Jenny Velasco, who manages The Bungalow along East Westfield Blvd. "It's totally not true."
At nearby Good Earth, owner Rudy Nehrling was once concerned about the project, especially when Whole Foods was considering being the grocer, rather than Fresh Thyme. Now, he's optimistic about the additional day-time foot traffic outside his family business that's been around for 37 years.
"Broad Ripple village was at one time a very sustainable village," Nehrling said. "You could live here, not have a car and get all of your needs taken care of with a bike or walking around. We would certainly love to see it get back to that. I really hope they look at Broad Ripple as their village and they want to live here, hang out here, and do their shopping here."
Wethington said people have already begun pre-leasing their new apartment so they can move in when the dust finally sets in the next few weeks.
Work is also already underway to put in a new sidewalk on the north side of the Canal that should help get the new residents from College Avenue to Guilford Avenue.

Eversheds Sutherland Continues US Expansion with New California Office
- Latvia
Eversheds Sutherland has opened a San Diego office with the addition of three leading Intellectual Property (IP) litigators: Nicola Pisano, Jose Patino and Christopher Bolten, who will join the Firm as partners in the next few weeks. The group brings highly sophisticated and established multinational practices focused on IP patent litigation, patent prosecution and IP due diligence.
"We are thrilled to welcome Nick, Joe and Chris to our team," said Mark D. Wasserman, Co-CEO of Eversheds Sutherland. "Intellectual property protection and defense is an ever-growing concern for our clients around the globe. With the addition of this strong group, we are uniquely positioned to meet the changing needs of our clients with an agile, full-service suite of IP offerings throughout the world."
Eversheds Sutherland is one of a very small number of global commercial law firms that can boast a worldwide IP reach, and the addition of this IP patent litigation and prosecution team further separates the Firm from most, if not all, global law firms that traditionally have larger trademark than patent service offerings.
"Deepening and broadening the geographic presence of our patent litigation team is key to growing our already extensive global IP practice," said Partner Pete G. Pappas, Co-Head of Global Intellectual Property. "Now that we are physically located in one of the world's premier life sciences and biotech industry hubs and have the combined experience of these terrific attorneys, we are moving closer to our goal of having the strongest, most fully capable IP team on the globe."
Having just opened a Chicago office in May, San Diego marks the second new US office for Eversheds Sutherland in 2019 bringing the Firm's total offices to 69 (8 in the US) in 34 jurisdictions. These offices, in combination with Eversheds Sutherland's unparalleled managed network of relationship firms, give Eversheds Sutherland reach, including IP, into more than 200 jurisdictions worldwide. The Firm has had an office in Sacramento since 2011.
We have been looking to expand on the West Coast for a long time but were waiting for the right opportunity," said Mr. Wasserman. "Nearly all of our clients, both in the US and internationally, have interests in the region. Strengthening our presence in California is in line with our focus on growing strategically to meet client needs. We could not be more excited to have this talented IP team join our Firm."
The Eversheds Sutherland San Diego office will be located at Paseo del Mar at 12255 El Camino Real, a nearly 13,000 square foot space that can accommodate the Firm's anticipated growth, which is expected both in San Diego and in California generally.
About the Lawyers
Nicola Pisano focuses his practice on complex patent litigation as well as patent counseling and prosecution for emerging company clients. He has litigated patent and trade secret matters in federal district courts throughout the United States and in interference proceedings before the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Mr. Pisano also has extensive experience procuring patents relating to diverse technical fields, including life science, software, wireless communications, telephony, network, semiconductor, and a vast array of medical device technology spaces.
Jose Patino has a robust patent litigation practice, representing prominent companies in high-stakes intellectual property disputes. He has argued before the courts of 20 different states and has extensive experience with patent litigation-specific proceedings, including before the International Trade Commission, and as special intellectual property counsel in US Bankruptcy Court.
Christopher Bolten focuses his practice on patent litigation and patent prosecution, with a focus on clients in the medical device industry (ultrasound and X-ray imagers, neuro-stimulation systems, implantable mechanical devices, ablation devices, wound dressings and medicine dispensers), telecommunications (cellular and internet technologies), aerospace and defense technologies (signal processing and optical systems) and automotive technologies (battery systems). He also prepares non-infringement, invalidity, patentability and freedom-to-operate opinions.
About the Intellectual Property Practice Group
Eversheds Sutherland's Intellectual Property Practice Group represents clients in all areas of IP, including enforcement, litigation and other contested proceedings, trademark and patent prosecution, and transaction due diligence, negotiation and drafting. The IP litigation team has tried cases in US and overseas courts, arbitration and mediation inside and outside the United States and administrative proceedings before the US International Trade Commission (ITC), the USPTO and international patent offices. Eversheds Sutherland IP lawyers have won important rulings both affirming and reversing lower court decisions in state and federal appellate courts, including the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
The additions of Mr. Pisano, Mr. Patino and Mr. Bolten in San Diego is the latest step in Eversheds Sutherland's strategic plan to globally expand the Intellectual Property Practice Group. This past year, the IP team has grown by 12% with the addition of experienced attorneys in key jurisdictions throughout the world—specifically two IP trial lawyers in Texas, a five-person (and building) IP full service team in Greater China, a five-person IP team in The Netherlands, and two additional IP attorneys in Russia.

Time travels slowly in west Kansas
Last week I had the opportunity to attend a church conference in Colorado Springs, which seemed like a great idea until I found myself traveling all alone down I-70 on the great expanse of nothingness that ill-fated cartographers labeled as western Kansas shortly before their deaths.
They died of boredom, of course, because there is absolutely nothing else out there that could possibly kill you.
I listened to the radio until I ran out of stations. At one point I watched my dash display cycle endlessly through the stations, searching for a frequency?any frequency?to latch onto.
Then I attempted to listen to an audio book that is saved on my iPhone, which I stuck in an empty coffee mug to amplify the sound. However, all the ?s? syllables were turned into hissy screeches, so that didn?t last long.
There were also snacks. Lots of snacks. But it turns out Chex Mix bags are filled mostly with pretzels. And I really dislike pretzels.
So then it was just me and my thoughts. And, like most people who run out of things to think about, I eventually turned to the study of physics.
I am not a physicist. I don?t even play one on TV. But thanks to a randomly remembered segment of an old ?Bill Nye the Science Guy? episode, I do have a very basic understanding of part of Einstein?s theory of special relativity.
It?s called time dilation, and it goes like this: If one twin brother rockets into space at nearly the speed of light and the other twin brother stays on earth and does what most earth-bound people do (watch TV and eat McDonald?s), then the space twin will return to earth to discover that his brother has aged more rapidly.
The idea is that time literally travels at a slower pace when moving rapidly than when sitting at rest. It offers an explanation for the one twin brother who went to rocket, and the one twin brother who stayed home, but we still know nothing bout the twin brothers who had roast beef, and who had none, and the one who went wee-wee-wee all the way home.
If you?re still reading this after that awful attempt at humor, time dilation was apparently proven in an experiment with two atomic clocks, one of which sat stationary while the other was spun around rapidly. At the end of the experiment both clocks were brought together again, and the one that was in constant motion showed a later time than the one that was not.
However, we should bear in mind that I?m getting much of this research off of Wikipedia, which has all sorts of implications when it comes to the perception of time and accuracy.
Another interesting theory about time perception is that when a person is bored, their internal clock speeds up, which makes time seem to crawl by. I actually learned this in a high school physics class, although not for the reasons you might think.
Back in my car?about three years later?mountains finally appeared on the horizon. It was about time, theoretically speaking.
