Cape Town - In an exclusive interview, former Sharks flyhalf and full-time Harlequins recruit TIM SWIEL on life in London, why he has time for Jake White and the SA conference decider at Newlands on Saturday.
Sport24 asked: You have signed for Harlequins on permanent basis after a successful four-month loan spell. What most excites you about the move to Twickenham Stoop?
Tim Swiel: During my time on loan, I was very impressed with the set-up at the club and the amazing support base. Along with a raft of talented youngsters rising through the ranks, Harlequins have made some big-name signings in Adam Jones, Jamie Roberts, James Horwill and Tim Visser, which will delight the supporters. I look forward to linking up with my new teammates when the season starts. My stint at Harlequins was a great learning curve, and I believe that joining the club on a full-time contract will allow me to further develop my game. It was very nice of Conor O'Shea to describe me as "a young player with a huge amount of potential" but I have to prove myself upon my return.
Sport24 asked: What is life like for a South African rugby player plying his trade in London?
Tim Swiel: While I'm the only South African at Harlequins, London certainly enjoys South African rugby players. Saracens bears testament to that – they have almost 30 000 South Africans on their books. But all jokes aside, London is a great city. I stayed in the capital while on a school exchange programme in Grade 10 and made a number of good connections, which bodes well for me living on my own. During my loan spell, I stayed with outgoing Harlequins stalwart George Robson and he was my adopted father in England. George and his wife Bantika really looked after me, but with George heading to France, I'm now ready to fend for myself. I believe it's important to experience a new environment. It's a life journey any individual needs to take in order to discover all-round balance.
Sport24 asked: How would you describe the club's playing philosophy and your own style of play?
Tim Swiel: Conor serves as the Director of Rugby at Harlequins and, as a former backline player himself, advocates an innovative, attacking brand of rugby which suits my playing style. I would describe myself as an attack-minded player with a penchant for taking the ball to the line and putting my teammates into space. As a flyhalf, you have to possess a very good understanding of the game in terms of when to do what. In the past, a lot of the time I wanted to run the ball from my own goal-line, but due to my experience in England, I've learned that it's important to vary my game.
Sport24 asked: How have you balanced work and play during your off-season in Cape Town?
Tim Swiel: The off-season has allowed me time to reflect and spend quality time with family and friends. However, it has not been a holiday. It entails early morning wakeups and cardio work in the gym. Whenever I'm back in town, I also train at the Pride Fighting Academy. I work out with EFC Africa fighters Don Madge and Irshaad Sayed. MMA comprises of boxing, grappling and wrestling, which improves my strength and helps in terms of my contact skills. I have been handed a great opportunity at 'Quins and hopefully the training I've done will pay off when I take to the field. As a professional rugby player, I've learned that preparation is key to attainting consistent performance.
Sport24 asked: You ruled yourself out of selection for the 2013 Junior World Championship. At the time, why did you describe it as the hardest decision you have ever had to make?
Tim Swiel: It was a really difficult decision because all I wanted to do was to play for the Baby Boks that year, but I was advised that if I did so, I would be ineligible to represent another international team. Having now left South African rugby and signed for Harlequins, in retrospect, maybe it was a good decision. I was born in Somerset and hold a British passport. I am England-qualified, but I'm not looking too far into the future. I will enjoy every day as it comes and see where the road takes me.
Sport24 asked: Jake White took you to the Sharks. Why did you enjoy playing under his tutelage?
Tim Swiel: Under Jake, I learned a lot about discipline and preparing for games. He has an analytical mind and always has a plan and sticks to it. He knows how to win and, at the end of the day, isn't winning what most coaches want? If Jake was still in Durban, I reckon the Sharks would be much higher on the log owing to the continuity he would have brought through. It's sad the Sharks haven't had a good season, but it's difficult when there is a turnaround of coaches. When you restructure, it takes time to gel as a unit. However, Gary Gold is a good coach and needs to be given a season or two to fully imprint his philosophy. While Western Province fell at the final hurdle to the Pumas in the Vodacom Cup final, John Dobson and Dawie Snyman have shown the value of continuity. I really developed as a player under Dobbo and, for me, Dawie is the most underrated backline coach in SA.
Sport24 asked: With the World Cup fast approaching do Lambie and Pollard have the inside lane?
Tim Swiel: I agree the battle at ten between Lambie and Pollard is an exciting one, but I wouldn't count out Elton Jantjies. Owing to the fact the Lions are playing the most attacking brand of rugby, Jantjies is the form flyhalf in South Africa. It will be interesting to see who Heyneke Meyer selects at Number 10. Lambie brings tactical attributes to the game, whereas Pollard is a more physical flyhalf.
Sport24 asked: Aside from injuries, what has led to young players being given more opportunities?
Tim Swiel: With a player exodus on the horizon, the reality is younger players are getting more opportunities within South African rugby than ever before, which is really positive. The reason I believe the likes of Jean de Villiers and Jaque Fourie are Springbok greats is because they were given a chance at a young age at international level. Jesse Kriel and Damian de Allende are playing really well and are the in-form players at the moment. In my opinion, they should be given an opportunity to test themselves at the highest level, so that in 10 years' time they too are legends of the game.
Sport24 asked: Which three celebrities would you invite over for dinner and what's on the menu?
Tim Swiel: I would have Cheryl Cole over because she is beautiful. I would also extend an invitation to David Beckham, so I can make some more connections in London, and a seat would be reserved for American comedian Kevin Hart who would provide the in-house entertainment. I would prepare a traditional South African braai in the English winter, and Drake would be the evening's soundtrack.
Sport24 asked: The Stormers host the Lions in what is set to be a conference decider. Your call?
Tim Swiel: Both the Lions and Stormers are playing really good rugby at the moment, and their last encounter was a very tight affair. The Lions play with more finesse on attack and focus on getting the ball wider. The fact that their wingers are scoring the tries is a good sign. However, the Stormers are a well-structured side, and if they come out on top in the set-piece battle they should win the clash.

How to Be Healthy and Happy in Life
We can write a book on the countless ways to keep healthy but I will tell you that what are the best habits for real health and happiness? It is not an essay to maintain a lifestyle or tips to make you fat but here are some excellent methods to stay, fit, strong, beautiful and happy. We shall discuss best behavior to have a naturally peaceful, faster and stress free body and mind.
To keep oneself thin, is a good and even the best thing but we also need a natural beauty, glowing skin and attractive face to live a Healthy and Happy in Life. Each paragraph of this paper is like a speech to gain the best look without makeup, costly foods and gym exercise.
Commonly the teenagers have a simple charming look and need not to gain or lose something there in the physique. While in the older ages you will have to make a food list and home lifestyle for a joyful and vigorous healthy life.
Let's start on How to Be Healthy and Happy in Life
- How much do you sleep in 24 hours? I don't mean the time you spend in the bed. I am intended to speak on a peaceful sleep without stress and anxiety. The health specialists say it from 6 to 9 hours.
- Healthy fresh and well ripened foods are the key to healthiness. Normal, natural and simple eating will keep your stomach on ease. Especially the fruits, milk, honey, juices, yogurt and homemade foods are best for your health and fitness. Strike more negatives to spices, canned foods, over cooked things and marketed brands.
- Water rests in your blood and runs in your body. This running factor keeps your body moving. You are made of water more than 90%. So keep your basic item in your basics of life. At least 7 to 10 glasses in 24 hours are must. But please don't overdose. It may lessen your strength and memory.
- I think the gym, exercises and workouts are not possible for all teenagers, school readers and common men and women. If you do it, then it is the best and if you can't, then you should fix your body on moving. Increase your physical activities. Walking, jogging, running and in home transportation is a good workout. You are lucky, if you are tired of physical work. I said physical and not mental, computer or file work. Bodily fatigue will seek more sleep, more water and will return you more freshness and happiness.
- Give yourself what you love and like. Necessities are not the only things in your life. Know what your heart and soul seeks for. Include your lovely hoods in your shopping and busyness.
- Don't be alone. Loneliness and a fixed home routine affects both of your health and happiness. A good company of your mode relaxes your nerves and muscles. Attend parties, joyful events, open air celebrations and smiling faces.
- If you are in some problem or a tension, then try to ignore or to forget it. Continuous thinking or worrying is not the solution and even can make your trouble worse. It is life and all happens in it. So why to get worried for what you can't stop. There are thousands of people around you which don't have the things you have. Keep smiling, laughing and enjoying.
- I tell you the source of real happiness. It is to help others and make them happy. You feel spiritual peace and calm when you make an anxious person pleased. Try it anytime. You will be thankful to me.
- Attend only what is necessary and leave what makes you bothered and stressed. Earth is very wide and air is free. Billions of people are doing the things which you have missed. Please leave what you feel unfit and upsetting.
- Bring confidence in your attitude and actions. Trust in your mind and trust on yourself. You are not the biggest but you're the best of millions. Feel free after performing your duty and dealing with your daily life.
Happiness comes both from health and mind. Healthy mind resides in healthy body. You will be healthy and happy when you will decide to live such life.
Keep smiling!

Where there are no functioning banks, no interest charged or paid, and financial transactions can involve bartered bags of salt or sugar left for nomadic dairy farmers at a desert crossroads, what does financial literacy mean? Young Somali men and women are finding out thanks to an innovative program of Education Development Center.
In its efforts to reach and equip Somali youth with employability and life skills, the Somali Youth Livelihood Program, or Shaqodoon, developed Dab iyo Dahab, an Interactive Audio Instruction (IAI) series on financial literacy specifically tailored for that population.
Shaqodoon recently launched and demonstrated Dab iyo Dahab at a celebration in Hargeisa. Shaqodoon, its partner organizations, members of the private sector, and government officials participated in the event, marking the initial rollout of the program to 1,262 youth trainees in Somaliland, Puntland, and Central Somalia.
Tradition and Innovation
Featuring dramas and expert interviews, each episode encourages a high level of student interactivity to promote effective learning among small groups of youth who gather to listen. Additionally, a cellular audio bonus segment allows listening groups to dial in, listen to questions about the day's episode, and answer using the phone's keypad.
"The traditional use of the story to educate linked with technology is a powerful combination," said EDC's Paul Sully, a youth expert and participant in the launch event. "The interactive audio response via cell phones will incentivize and excite youth about the learning process."
For Somalis, storytelling is a way of learning; it's handed down through generations, and is used to transfer valuable insight and knowledge across time. Somalis respect stories for the information they contain and are accustomed to listening and learning, Shaqodoon uses this tradition of listening and learning to pass the story of Financial Literacy to learners. The objective is simple: to create a story so relevant and interesting that the listener is pulled into the drama and the lessons are learned by listening to and critically evaluating the actions of the characters.
Responding to real challenges
Pre-production focus groups and a limited life cycle analysis yielded a large amount of information about what kind of financial decisions Somalis make and when they are asked to make them. Respondents overwhelmingly agreed that marriage was the first time that young people make their own decisions and often find themselves with difficult financial problems. With this in mind, the financial literacy storyline revolves around a newly married couple in their early 20s who struggle with a wide range of financial challenges. The main characters of the storyline represent the different Somali regions, and the title Dab iyo Dahab refers to the concepts of fire (conflict) and gold (wealth) that can be destructive if not managed.
Dab iyo Dahabutilizes proven educational methodology that employs facilitated listening groups, frequent review of prior lessons and queries to the groups to test their recall and learning. The production of this audio series is supported by the United States Agency for International Development and through it expands Shaqodoon's efforts to address work readiness life skills and technical training to improve youth livelihood options. It also expands Education Development Center's use of technology in its educational programming. Dab iyo Dahab will soon be followed by a similar audio program on entrepreneurship.

World Wide Injunction Orders Editing of Google Search Results
What is a Court to do when faced with repeated breaches of Court orders by a virtual entity? In the case, Equustek Solutions Inc. v. Jack, 2014 BCSC 1063, the decision of the BC Supreme Court was to order an innocent third party, Google Inc., to remove the wrongdoer's website from further search results – anywhere.
The case has far reaching implications on the ability to enforce injunctions on wrongdoers in cyberspace, on the role of innocent third parties such as Google, and on the possibility of the Court process being used as an avenue for censorship. The decision has been appealed so the British Columbia Appeal Court will also get an opportunity to consider these difficult issues.
The plaintiffs manufacture networking devices that allow complex industrial equipment made by one manufacturer to communicate with equipment made by other makers. They claim certain defendants misused trade secrets of the plaintiffs to design a competing product and passed off that product as that of the plaintiff. The plaintiff obtained a number of court orders which the defendants did not comply with. The defendants continue to advertise and sell their product but now as what the Court described as a 'virtual company', a series of websites. The defendant's websites were the subject of further Court orders prohibiting the defendants from carrying on business under any website. The defendants continued to act in violation of those Court orders.
In the face of the continued violation of the Court orders the plaintiff sought an interim injunction restraining the non-party, Google Inc., from including the defendants' websites in search results generated by Google's search engines.
Google voluntarily removed specific webpages from its .ca search results in response to the 2012 Court order against the defendants but opposes being ordered to block an entire category of URLs from its search results worldwide.
The Court had to address the preliminary issue of whether it had jurisdiction over Google, not physically present in BC. Google opposed the application of jurisdiction over its operations and also argued that if the Court were to find it had jurisdiction then the order should not be granted as it would amount to a worldwide order that could not be enforced and because it was be an unwarranted intrusion into Google's lawful business activities.
The Court noted that deciding whether jurisdiction should be assumed in a case with inter-jurisdictional aspects is a complex question and especially challenging in the context of the internet. After considering jurisprudence from the BC Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court the BC Superior Court held that "proof on a balance of probabilities is the appropriate standard on this application because the jurisdictional ruling is a final one vis à vis the applicant and respondent. However, that standard should be applied while recognizing that the plaintiffs have had a limited opportunity to marshal supporting evidence."
In BC the substantive issue required consideration of the Court Jurisdiction and Proceedings Transfer Act, S.B.C. 2003, c. 28 which codified and replaced the common law on the subject. The CJPTA requires an assessment of whether there is a real and substantial connection between the fact on which a proceeding against a person is based and BC. Weighing the applicable factors the Court noted that the effort to protect the plaintiff's intellectual property (trade secrets in this case) was a weak connecting factor but the fact that Google carries on business in BC was a stronger connecting factor. After struggling with the unique challenges posed by the internet and Google's virtual presence in BC, the Court found Google's search service is not a mere passive website noting Google sells ads to BC parties. The Court also considered the González decision of the Spanish Data Protection Agency finding Google's advertising activities and search activities are inextricably linked and came to the same conclusion. The Court rejected Google's concern that it could, on this analysis be subject to the jurisdiction of every state in providing worldwide services.
In the end the Court found that it had territorial competence over Google on the application.
The Court then considered if BC was the most convenient forum to make the decision, noting that "the burden falls on Google to show why the Court should decline to exercise its jurisdiction and displace the forum chosen by the plaintiffs". The Court found that Google's proposed voluntary blocking of the states websites by Google Canada was not adequate. The Court also considered whether California was a more convenient forum including consideration that a California court order is easier to enforce in California than a British Columbia court order, but in the end found California was not a more appropriate forum than British Columbia for adjudicating the plaintiffs' application for an interim injunction against Google.
The Court considered if it should make this order against a non-party, Google. The Court examined exceptions to the principle that a Court does not have authority to make an order against a non-party who owes no duty to the plaintiff. The Court noted this was not a case where Google had sought to flout a Court order.
Noting that the second exception that a Court may issue "orders made against non-parties to aid in the fact finding necessary to the administration of justice" (such as the Norwich line of cases), the Court rejected Google's position "that the Court only has authority to make an order against a non-party in relation to contempt or to further fact finding necessary to effect justice", instead noting that the Court has "inherent jurisdiction to maintain the rule of law and to control its own process" and that "the power to grant injunctions is a broad one". The Court went on to examine how Mareva style injunctions were first granted in Canada and the extra-territorial nature of such orders.
As a result, Madam Justice Fenlon found "that the Court has authority to grant an injunction against a non-party resident in a foreign jurisdiction in appropriate circumstances". Having found subject matter competence the Court considered Google's arguments for not making the order including:
- Google provides "an important and valuable tool for navigating hundreds of trillions of webpages on the internet. Google argues it cannot, as a practical matter, monitor content or arbitrate disputes over content because of the enormous volume of content; because it cannot determine whether information is inaccurate or lawful; and because content on websites is constantly changing so even if Google could form judgments about the content of sites on its index at any given moment, those judgments would be obsolete moments later";
- Concern over unfairness of "de-indexing entire websites without regard to content of the specific URLs would constitute undue censorship";
- Concern that the worldwide nature of the order may force Google to do something that might violate a law elsewhere; and
- Concern that the order sought is too broad and "no court should make an order that has a reach that extends around the world".
The Court considered and addressed each of these arguments applying the test of a strong prima facie case (or a good arguable case) to cross the threshold and then to balance the parties interests seeking to reach a just and convenient result. The Court also considered the Norwich factors adding a factor – the degree to which the interests of those other than the applicant and the non-party could be affected by the order.
In conclusion, the Court granted a 14 day interim injunction under which "Google Inc. is to cease indexing or referencing in search results on its internet search engines the websites" of the defendants.
While discussed, it is not clear if the final form of the order would include the so-called Baltic proviso that would excuse Google from compliance with the order if doing so would breach local laws. As well there was no mention of whether the final form of the order would require the plaintiff to indemnify Google for costs it may be exposed to as a result of the order (one of the Norwich factors).
And so it begins. As noted the decision has been appealed. There are other interests to be considered. This appears to be the first time a Court has ordered the blocking of entire websites, not just individual posts.
As well if a BC court has this right then why not another Canadian or foreign court also who may see the need for content controls for other purposes. The issue of limits on "free speech" is properly difficult and should continue to be so. The appeal of the decision may well enlighten the debate on whether any court should have such a sweeping power, the safeguards on how it should be exercised and the burden placed on the innocent third parties. In that debate one might recall the decision of the US Supreme Court in Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union 117 S. Ct. 2329, 1997 (U.S. S.C.) in looking at content controls under a legislative scheme:
As a matter of constitutional tradition, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we presume that governmental regulation of the content of speech is more likely to interfere with the free exchange of ideas than to encourage it. The interest in encouraging freedom of expression in a democratic society outweighs any theoretical but unproven benefit of censorship.

Migration itself does not guarantee gene flow. If individuals are locally adapted to their natal environment, the reproductive fitness of those individuals in a different population residing in a new environment may be quite low, leading to an effective isolation of the populations. Selection may act differentially on parts of the genome that are most directly affected by environmental differences. For example, if an individual migrates into a population and successfully reproduces with a native individual, sexual recombination of gametes will generate offspring with combinations of 'native' and immigrant gene copies. Considering two physically unlinked genes A and B, where different copies at the A gene are selectively neutral but alleles at the B gene are not, many offspring may survive in the population that carry the immigrant allele at the A gene, but few or none may survive if they carry the immigrant allele at the B gene. Here, isolation is again quantitative in that the isolation may only be for particular elements of an organism's genome, rather than isolating two populations or species entirely.
The net result of these varying types of isolation is that to a certain extent, indirect techniques such as measuring allelic diversity at a variety of genetic loci in multiple populations can be used to characterize the degree to which populations fit the equilibrium neutral model governed by mutation, drift, and migration. There are a number of ways in which this model may be violated, particularly in cases where one or more populations being compared is or has recently expanded from a founder population (e.g., range expansions or species introductions); nevertheless, the comparison of isolation measures across many markers may be indicative of both demographic and selective forces that promote the evolutionary divergence of populations in isolation.
Isolation is not a static characteristic of populations. The Isthmus of Panama is an excellent case of complete contemporary isolation of marine populations on either side; there is no gene flow, no migration, and no interaction between individuals from the tropical eastern Pacific and the Caribbean. However, as the Isthmus formed over the course of a million years or more, populations that were initially freely mixing were slowly but increasingly isolated by the uplift of land masses and reduction of currents by freshwater inflows and mangrove swamps, and the final reduction in the number of pathways by which individuals could travel from one side to the other. This more realistic scenario of isolation allows for migration to persist beyond the initiation of the isolating event. Known as the isolation-migration model, this statistical approach allows more complete description of the cause and timing of isolation between populations. Without considering both factors, it is difficult to distinguish whether two populations share many alleles due to high migration, or recent (complete) isolation, or a mixture of intermediate migration and intermediate levels of isolation.
Complex scenarios may arise due to the interaction between historical and contemporary causes of isolation.
While the variance in allele frequencies from one population to another is a standard method of measuring isolation it is not always clear whether that isolation is truly due to an equilibrium of mutation, drift, and migration - the isolation by distance model. It is also possible that ancestral events could separate a single population into two or more disjunct populations; subsequent environmental change, again permitting migration between the two areas, would cause a pattern of secondary gene flow. Geographic areas where two genetically or morphologically distinct groups interact, with incomplete isolation, are called clines. Many well-studied clines are caused by the secondary interaction between historically isolated populations.
One case study that illustrates both isolation by distance and the interaction of historically isolated lineages involves a 'ring species' of warblers in Asia. The geographic range of Phylloscopus trochiloides wraps around the Tibetan Plateau, and limited dispersal from the nest site results in populations from western Siberia through Tibet that exhibit a strong correlation of the geographic distance between sampled sites and the genetic distance measured at a mitochondrial gene. With greater geographic distance around the Tibetan Plateau, genetic distance gradually increases. However, there is a zone of overlap in central Siberia in which populations at one end of the 'ring' encounter populations from the other end -but in this region, the birds differ significantly in terms of plumage and song. This case is made more interesting by the isolation of eastern Siberian populations from those further south on the Tibetan Plateau due to deforestation -eventually, without any means of dispersal between the two sites, the east Siberia populations of P. trochiloides could become completely distinct (ecologically and demographically isolated).
Isolation and its subsequent effect on the evolutionary trajectory of a species has been the central theme of speciation literature over the past century. Only recently has this topic begun to be regularly incorporated into the study and theory of ecology and demography. Much of the diversity in form and function observed in our present-day environment can be thought to be the result of past isolation events and should therefore be considered a topic of much importance in fields of study other than evolutionary biology. Isolation events and their underlying mechanisms can have wide-ranging effects on a species. The effects of isolation may be detectable in genetic, ecological, and demographic patterns. Therefore, these topics should be of increasing relevance to current research focused on population ecology, local adaptive processes, and conservation biology.

Expedition horseback riding
This excursion is going to be done in the well-known Esqueletos´s Coast, located in Mitre´s Peninsula, on the south east of Tierra del Fuego, that wonderful place in the End of the World.
During long hours we are going to be in the deep nature of Tierra del Fuego, enjoying of it variety on wildlife and flora.
Our way to move around are going to be horses specially trained to walk on this land, same as many years ago, the men who explored over the Patagonia.
The most wonderful of this excursion is the pleasure of the loneliness sensation that you are going to experiment once we are in places that are far away of any city or noise.
The landscape invited us to discover the silence and with a lot of respect the secret that they are hiding in these millenaries trails. During the tour we are going to have the opportunity of seeing really close the variety on the wildlife that includes cows, wild horses, also cetaceans shipwrecks of hundreds years old, abandoned ranches, Indian trails and more. At night we are going to make a fire to enjoy, share experiences, to tell stories, always in the magnificent company of the Austral Sea; that it gets its name from the big amount of whale´s skeletons and sea lion's skeletons, also of the establishments and boats which where famous many years ago.
We are going to be in the most magnificent adventure, with a constant contact with the nature and it changing climatic conditions. If you are lucky and the surrounding allows us, maybe you could fish.
The overnight is going to be in tents which will give us more contact with the night and it mysteries, also you are going to get relax with the constant sound of the Ocean, and we are going to be in contact with the people who live in the ranch. This experience is unique and one way or another it will change us forever.
Itinerary Summary
Day 1: Ushuaia / Maria Luisa Ranch / La Chaira Station
A transfer is going to pick you from your hotel in Ushuaia to take you to the place where the horseback riding is going to start, the Maria Luisa Ranch.
This Ranch works mainly in ranching and logging. Along the way, the passengers will witness the most beautiful and amazing scenery, especially when you cross mountain range through Garibaldi Pass, where you could see incredible panoramic views.
Once you get to the ranch you are going have a horse assigned, and the staff is going to introduce themselves. The first day is going to be about getting in tune with the nature and getting used with the place.
You are going to use a trail that is going to take to the shore of Irigoyen´s River, this is an special place to people who like to do fishing, you can get trout fishes over 10 kilos.
The first day we are going to sleep in a tent on La Chaira Station, place where there´s not going to be more people than us, and you are going to have a delicious BBQ.
Day 2: La Chaira Station // Rio Bueno Station
After enjoying an energetic breakfast, we are going to start our 2 horseback riding day.
The objective today is to reach the Rio Bueno Station, place where we are going to sleep.
Along the way you can see how the civilization's track starts disappearing and the wildest side of Tierra del Fuego appears.
During this horseback riding day you are going to visit some shipwrecks like the "Barca" which is been stuck in the beach for many years. Also you may find abandoned stations. The shocking part is going to be how close we are going to be from the wildlife of the place. Between all the species that you will see, you may see foxes, guanacos, condors, marine mammals, beavers and many beautiful birds. The last part of the day we are going to go around "Leticia" River which is going to takes us to our last stop.
Like the night before, we are going to sleep in tents and we can get relax with the sound of the "Bueno" River.
Day 3: Rio Bueno Station // Policarpo Ranch
After breakfast, you are going to start the way with the objective to reach Policarpo Ranch which was declared a National Historic Landmark
The trail is going to take us along the shore of the "Bueno and Policarpo" Rivers, where you may find aboriginal remains from the native " Haush" tribe.
The conditions on this there are pretty similar to the day before, the difference is going to be in the peatland you are going to find, and you will be able to see the different abilities of the horses, while walking on this floor.
Along the way we could see the local wildlife where the wild horses, sea lions and king penguins will surprise us. You may also find different shipwrecks as "Duquesa de Albania".
From the high valley we could see Falsa Creek which was abandoned in the 60's. Here is possible to find remains and tools of all kinds.
We are going to do our overnight in a tent in "Policarpo" Ranch.
Day 4: Policarpo Ranch
On this day we are going to rest and relax in Policarpo Ranch. If you want to, you could visit the cormorant colony which is located in the marine caves or do a trekking in the Bilbao Hill, place where you could see incredible panoramic views.
Day 5: Policarpo Ranch // Rio Bueno Station
On this day, we are going to start our return trip to Rio Bueno Station. In some parts you are going to use different trails.
Day 6: Rio Bueno Station // La Chaira Station
In your return trip to La Chaira Station, you are going to use different trails, compared with the ones we used on our first way.
On La Chaira Station, we are going to enjoy a delicious BBQ.
Day 7: La Chaira Station // Maria Luisa Ranch // Ushuaia
We are going to come back from La Chaira Station to Maria Luisa Ranch, where we are going to go up the cars which are going to take us to Ushuaia. Here is where our services finish.
Times riding and distances
You will ride for 6 hours each day, doing stops and breaks. The distance each day is doing to be 30 kilometers approx.
Level of difficulty
This is a medium difficulty since is necessary to know about horseback riding and you need to have a good health condition. You will ride through different lands, but most of all through beaches and peatlands where because of the conditions of the land it could be necessary to dismount. Also you are going to go through leafy forest and some steep cliffs.
It´s important to know that the schedule for the places where to sleep and the durations of the days are going to depend on the weather conditions and the tide, since during the excursion your are going to go along 5 different and important rivers.
Security conditions
We are going to be riding in places completely isolated and lonely, away from civilization and sanitation, that's why the staff is going to carry a satellite phone for emergencies. Also the guides on charge are SAN-WFR (Wilderness First Responder) Certified, given by the Argentine School of Lifesaving and First Aid. Each guide is going to carry with a First Aid kit and also they are going to know the whole technical part. All the water is potable during the trip.
Horses and Mounts
We are going to use Native Argentine horses, of 1.55 meters on average, a really known race all over the world because of their nobility and strength, they are ideal for this kind of excursions. The same ones have been raised in Tierra del Fuego, reason why they are familiarized and comfortable riding in the different kind of lands.
Talking about the mounts we are going to be using a combination between the Chilean and Argentinean ones. The horses don´t need spurs.
Weather conditions
The weather is going to be very variable. During summertime the days are incredibly long with a length of 14 hours, where we can experiment different weather conditions.
People said that you can have all four seasons in just a few minutes in Tierra del Fuego, although the extreme conditions are rare. In general the weather is cold and windy and the temperature goes from 2 to 12ºC, although the wind and the regular drizzle can make it colder.
Either ways the weather could be nice with cold nights even though we are close to Antarctica.
Clothing and other items required
Because of the weather, the clothes need to be warm and waterproof as an esential ítem for the a comfortable trip.
The best system you can use to dress is the layers system, to adapt to the changing weather conditions.
We recommend this equipment
1 -Shoes: 2 pairs. We highly recommend waterproof leather boots, which are really good for rain or cold weather. We really another pair of a comfortable and warm shoes for the relax moments. If you want you, you can take leggings which are really good to avoid friction.
2- Socks. 5 pairs. The best option is to take some cotton ones and some wool ones.
3 –Interiors. 2. One for the chest and the one that is being worn. Take a look on the Power Dry or similar options for material. If you suffer the cold weather, to take pair of pants of the same material could be a good option. The cotton clothing is not a good option because they absorb the humidity and take a long time to dry.
4 –Pants. We highly recommend taking lightweight trousers and a pair of pant covers of any waterproof material.
5 – Jacket. Take a waterproof material one as a Gore-tex material with an adjustable hood.
6 – Gloves (2 pairs and posibly waterproof), hat for the sun and a warm hat, sunglasses and a scarf. It's pretty useful to take leather glove's covers.
7 – Overcoat. Polar fleece's vest and a feather's jacket.
8 – Backpack. Is important to take a backpack with you (35 to 40 liters) where to put the thing we are going to need close to us during the riding and during the trekking. Is a good idea to take a waterproof backpack cover.
This is the equipment recommended by the guides, this doesn't mean if you don't have something of these things, you can't do the excursion. The most important thing is to have waterproof clothes, so we can keep our body temperature.
For those who don't want to spend so much money, an option is to buy those yellow robes that are one hundred percent waterproof. The cons with this robes is that you can get really hot when the sun is shining. We don't recommend using poncho, since they scare the horses when they get shaken by the wind and don't give the necessary isolation.
Remember to bring your sleeping bag which needs to have the comfortable temperature under -10Cº. Renting these sleeping bags is possible in Ushuaia, they been tested and approved.
Complementary list
• Toiletries
• Photo camera / film camera with batteries.
• Personal medicine,

But, the problem comes when as soon as a live position is updated, the remaining custom parking options (either from the bgl or configured by myself), are erased. I've seen this, and tried to edit the file time and time again, but once PSX starts, all my custom options disappear, save for the live parking positions.

When should organizations practice customer journey mapping? Should it be done before the customer experience is built? There is a case for mapping the actual experiences after the fact and using the lessons learned to adjust the customer experience is strong. There is an emerging possibility of using real time emotional measures to adjust the customer experience based on the customer's reaction to the customer experience so far, which may include multiple touch points over time.
The Planning Approach:
Organizations that want to understand their customer experience and plan a better approach will use customer journey methods and technologies to actively create a better customer experience. This approach really works well with new systems and planned augmentations. The trick here is not to over-analyze, but to practically involve real customers, organizational representatives with a good dose of independent thinking.
The Audit Approach:
Organizations that want their analysis of the customer experience to be reality based, will use a measurement approach that gleans data from systems and people to create a near realistic view of the customer experience in context of the customers goals and persona. The challenge here is to think out of the box and imagine situations beyond the expected "happy paths" when designing a better customer experience.
The Real Time Approach:
Organizations that want to adapt inflight, will gravitate to use technologies and techniques to measure the real time moods of the customers. This "on the fly" approach requires some newer emerging technologies such as AI enabled by emotion detection embedded in voice inflection, real time images and gestures or natural language understanding. This allows organizations to customize responses to individual customer situations in context. The challenge here is that the costs could get out of hand without creating some common responses over time.
Net; Net:
The obvious answer is to use all three approaches, but that is easier said than done. The real time approach is still emerging and maturing. The planning approach might be too late if an organization has a legacy base that requires significant augmentation or change. Measuring what's going on might require significant instrumentation to gather the data. The answer depends on the situation at hand, but doing nothing is not an option. A customized mix is probably a solution, but this is not a "one and done" circumstance. We can't depend on getting lucky like the squirrel pictured above as we will all get wet with customer experience issues.

Citation: Mey W, Rutjan E (2016) Catapterix tianshanica sp. n. – the second species of the genus from the Palaearctic Region (Lepidoptera, Acanthopteroctetidae). Nota Lepidopterologica 39(2): 145-150. doi: 10.3897/nl.39.9882
Based on a single adult male collected in Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan) the new species Catapterix tianshanica sp. n. is described and illustrated. The new species differs from related species by details of the male genitalia, especially by the reduction of the medial process of the transtilla and by the structure of the uncus. It is the second species of the genus and family found in the Palaearctic Region so far. The record significantly expands the distribution of Catapterix from Europe to Asia.
In the 1980s the Russian lepidopterists A. K. Zagulaev and S. Y. Sinev collected an unusual micromoth on the Crimean peninsula. The species could not be assigned readily to any of the known families in Europe. As a result of a detailed study of the adult morphology (head, abdomen, wing venation, male genitalia) the collectors were convinced of having discovered a representative of a hitherto unknown evolutionary lineage within the homoneuran Glossata. It was described as Catapterix crimaea spec. nov. and gen. nov. and assigned to the simultaneously established family Catapterigidae (
The concept of Catapterigidae did not gain much acceptance.
The morphological differences between the two families involve head morphology, wing venation, wing coupling and abdominal sternites – strong characters which are usually of significant weight in other lepidopteran taxa, but in light of the shared, unique genital morphology of the males, these characters appear to be homoplasious and of less importance, and thus, are of little value for separating the two families. In this evolutionary lineage even the presence or absence of a frenulum or jugum is obviously of low phylogenetic significance in comparison with other superfamilies. In addition to the male genitalia the corresponding peculiar vestiture of the antennal segments also point to a close relationship of Catapterix Zagulajev & Sinev, 1988 with Acanthopteroctetes Braun, 1921.The two genera make up the family Acanthopteroctetidae Davis, 1978, with Catapterigidae as its junior synonym (following
Acanthopteroctetes was long thought be an endemic genus in western North America. Recent discoveries in South America (
Since 2002 Oleksiy Bidzilia from the Zoological Museum in Kiev has been a regular visitor to the Lepidoptera/Trichoptera collection of the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin. He has always brought and donated Trichoptera material, which he and the second author collected during field trips in Asia. Among a number of pinned microcaddisflies from Kyrgyzstan, a single, tiny micromoth was found, which in its un-spread state indeed resembled a caddisfly from the family Hydroptilidae. Since the individual did not have eye-caps or other external characters that provided a family identification, the abdomen was removed and the genitalia examined. The specimen turned out to be a second species of the hitherto monotypic genus Catapterix. The surprising finding was immediately communicated to lepidopterists, who have since been collecting in Central Asia in the hope of obtaining further material of this interesting, primitive micromoth species. This hope has remained unsatisfied, and after six years of waiting we have decided to publish the description of the species at this time.
Holotype ♂, labeled: "Kyrgyzstan/ Tian-Shan/ prov. Dzhalal-Abad/ distr.:Kotshkor-Ata/ prope pag. Toskool/ fauc. Alash-Saj/alt. 1100M, 16–17.v.2003/E. Rutjan leg. Lum.[at light]". Genitalia slide Mey 34/16, Museum für Naturkunde Berlin.
Adult (Fig.
The external characters and the male genitalia of this new species are similar to C. crimaea. There are, however, some remarkable differences. The head capsule of the latter species is evenly rounded on the dorsal side from eyes to top of vertex, whereas in C. tianshanica sp. n. the head capsule around the eyes is somewhat protruded laterally to form a flattened area on the dorsal and frontal sides next to the eyes. This area is covered by appressed, lamellar scales, which are absent in C. crimaea and replaced by the usual hairlike scales of the head. The male genitalia of both species exhibit a bifid valva with apex of costal margin and sacculus as elongate processes, curved mediad. This form of valva is diagnostic to Catapterix. The valva of Acanthopteroctetes is slender, with slightly expanded sacculus. The medial, sclerotized process of the transtilla is a prominent feature of both genera. In C. tianshanica sp. n., however, this process is reduced and nearly membranous. Another autapomorphic character of the latter species is the enlarged uncus with subapical, triangular processes or spines on the dorsolateral sides.
The two genera of Acanthopteroctetidae can be separated as follows:
|Forewing uniformly coloured, or with fascia or fuscous and yellow spots; interocular index 0.75–0.8; medial process of transtilla serrate on ventral margin and tip upcurved; valva simple
|Forewing uniformly coloured; interocular index 0.6; medial process of transtilla without serration and tip straight or down-curved; valva bifid
The hostplant of Catapterix is unknown. The larva of the North American Acanthopteroctetes unifascia Davis, 1975 is a leafminer of Ceanothus (Rhamnaceae). Another species was found to be a miner in leaves of Ribes (Grossulariaceae) (
Due to the arid climate Middle Asia is an impoverished refuge of Tertiary forests, which survived only in favorable places in the mountain chains of the Tianshan. This concerns especially the deciduous trees, which are present in large numbers (
The distance between the known localities of the two Catapterix species is about 3000 km (Fig.
The photograph of the adult moth was taken by Bernhard Schurian, and the English text was corrected by Jason Dunlop for which both colleagues deserve our sincere thanks. We are also grateful to Don Davis and Charley Eiseman for their reviews of the manuscript.

Newsletter – February 2019
|PATH Partners with Watershed Protection on Encampment Cleanup Project
|For individuals experiencing homelessness, living in an encampment can provide a sense of safety. However, when these camps spring up in Austin watersheds, they can present environmental risks ranging from obstruction of stormwater conveyance to water contamination to flooding. Historically, the city has responded to these issues by clearing debris when necessary, which only offers a temporary solution and can sometime mean individuals lose all their possession.
Now, the Watershed Protection Department (WPD), Austin Parks and Recreation, Austin Police Department, Austin Resource Recovery, EMS, Downtown Austin Community Court, and Integral Care are partnering to tackle encampment cleanups with a service-oriented approach. Through this collaborative effort, team members, including staff from Integral Care's Programs for Assistance in the Transition from Homelessness (PATH) and Homeless Outreach Street Team (HOST), will meet with individuals living at nine targeted "hot spots" to engage them in services, inform them about upcoming cleanups, and even educate them on the "Leave No Trace" principles.
|Campsites that pose a high level of risk to public health and environmental safety will be prioritized. Individuals who live in immediate need areas (i.e. locations with the highest risk to health and safety) will receive a 72-hour notice prior to cleanups. Integral Care and other partners will connect them with emergency shelter, health care, and ongoing support. At medium priority sites, individuals will have 30 days' notice – low priority sites will offer 90 days' notice before cleanups.
WPD has contracted with a company to clean up the sites on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the need of each location. In addition to regular cleanups, the department also will provide cleanup materials, including trash bins and drawstring bags, to individuals residing in these camps. By offering these materials and teaching basic principles of Leave No Trace, the department will give this community the resources to maintain their campsites and increase health and safety at the location.
"We're happy to be part of this solution," said David Gomez, PATH Project Manager. Most of all, he applauds that the effort will allow many people to remain in their encampments. Before this new program, individuals often would be forced to leave their campsites during cleanups, making it difficult for teams like PATH and HOST to find them again. "Now we know where they are and we can continue to help them."

|Upcoming Hard Hat Tours
|Before our official grand opening of Terrace at Oak Springs, we invite you to take a sneak peek at our newest permanent supportive housing community. Join an upcoming hard hat tour!
Tours are currently scheduled for Thursday, March 14 and Thursday, April 11. They will be held light rain or shine. Attendees should plan to wear comfortable attire and closed-toe shoes, as we will be walking through an active construction site. Integral Care will provide hard hats.
To sign up for a tour or learn more, please visit our website.
|Donate the Comforts of Home with COCObundle
|Give the Gift of a New Beginning. Homelessness means surviving with the bare minimum. When individuals transition from the streets to housing, they often bring only what fits in a backpack—not the kitchen utensils, cookware, linens, or cleaning supplies that make a house into a home.
By purchasing a bundle of household essentials through our partners at COCObundle, you can help create a home for a future resident of Terrace at Oak Springs. Visit the Integral Care campaign on the COCObundle website to select a bundle before move-in day.

Performance anxiety is a recognized psychological condition in which one's very fear of performing badly at something causes this to happen, in something of a self-fulling prophecy. For instance, some people are afraid of performing poorly during sex, and this causes the release of adrenaline, which interferes with the brain's activity, causing the person to do poorly. When we're dealing with performance anxiety regarding test-taking, we speak of test anxiety. This is simply where stress about taking the test causes you to experience "brain freeze," and to not remember things that you thought you had committed to memory.
As we mentioned, the primary culprit in test anxiety is adrenaline—released because of fear. Fear causes the release of adrenaline, because this is the hormone that causes your heart to beat faster so that you can escape from dangerous situations. It's a protection mechanism. But with something like test-taking, it becomes a problem, because the symptoms associated with the release of adrenaline interfere with your thinking processes. The pumping of adrenaline causes you to have trouble with your memory and with problem-solving skills. The result: Worrying about a test actually causes you to do worse on it.
Is there any hope to battle test anxiety? Absolutely! In fact, here are eight proven ways to overcome performance anxiety as it relates to taking exams.
Here, then, are some strategies for beating this self-fulfilling prophecy.
1) First, find ways to relax. This means, for starters, sit in a comfortable position as you're testing, with comfortable lighting. Before you begin the actual test, try a couple of easy breathing exercises, to get you in the right frame of mind. Some people even find that saying a short prayer helps them relax.
2) Think confident thoughts. Remember, the reason that adrenaline flows during tests is out of fear that you'll do poorly. So if you think confident thoughts instead, the adrenaline will not flow so freely, and you'll be more relaxed, and perform better. What's it mean to think confident thoughts? First, think of all of the tests you've done well on—especially the ones where you surprised yourself. Think about how well you know the material. Finally, refuse to entertain thoughts like "I'm going to bomb this test."
3) Get help. Nothing builds confidence that you know what you're doing than a qualified instructor, showing you the ropes, and verifying that you have a good grasp of the material. For some, this means spending time with the instructor. Others choose to hire a tutor. Both are good ways to build confidence.
4) Take care of your body. Test anxiety is a physical reaction to stress that's going on inside your brain. You can combat this reaction by taking care of yourself. This means you should get plenty of rest and eat a healthy diet. It's especially important that you do these things in the week or two prior to the exam.
5) Read the test instructions at a slow and careful pace. This is important for a couple of reasons. First, this sets a comfortable, relaxing pace before getting into the test itself. Plus, the directions should help you better organize your thoughts before you tackle the questions.
6) Avoid caffeine and energy drinks the night before and the hours right before the test. These will cause you to feel jittery—something that doesn't help someone who is already prone to experiencing anxiety.
7) Making an outline before you tackle an essay portion is a great way to fight anxiety. The outline serves to help you organize your thoughts, so whenever your brain freezes, you just consult the outline, and it should help put you back on track.
8) We've saved the best for last: To best overcome test anxiety, make sure that you're well-prepared for the exam. Any time you know positively that you have the answers committed to memory, your confidence level will soar. And confidence will keep your adrenaline from flowing, which will prevent anxiety from defeating you on the test.
None of this assures that you'll make a perfect score, or even that you'll do better than average. However, they're sure to give you a better grade than you would have gotten if you'd just given in to test anxiety.

A Migratory Expedition Southward
Winter in the Rockies is a long season. Even in the southern Rockies cold and snow can be expected for a long six months. Staying mostly indoors sitting by the fire has it's comforts but can also lead to stagnation. Mental, physical and creative abilities begin to deteriorate without some sort external influence. There are remedies, such as old and new authors to read, taking up a new hobby can be helpful, attending social gatherings, visiting a museum or art gallery can be inspirational or perhaps attending a lecture could break a cycle of repetitive winter drudgery. Another option would be travel. Visiting a new city or taking a cruise can lead to adventures not imagined. Migratory birds nullified the effects of a winter season long ago. They travel to southern climates.
The snow started to fall at the Lower Farm in October this year. Temperatures have been below freezing, new snows fall every month. Mid January I started formulating a plan. I was accomplishing nothing as to construction improvements or landscaping projects. An expedition was in order. I would be driving south for a distance I'd not attempted in quite awhile.
Leaving Las Vegas, New Mexico driving east through Santa Rosa, Tucumcari and on to Amarillo, Wichita Falls, Dallas, Texas; Shreveport, Louisiana; Jackson, Mississippi; Mobile, Alabama; Pensacola, Florida to Tallahassee where the road begins to turn south towards my destination of Fort, Myers, Florida on the Gulf Coast.
1900 miles of looking at the world through a windshield. The high plains and last sight of any mountains or hills, the prairie of west Texas sprouting hundreds of new wind turbines, herds of cattle, metropolitan islands of dense population, scrub woodlands, the vast Atchafalaya Basin of swamp and bogs, east of Pensacola a wake of devastation left after hurricane Michael, where 1000s and 1000s of pine trees are snapped and toppled. Broken. Lake City, Florida is my entrance to the north/south corridor of Interstate 75. Besides the areas around large cities, Florida's I-75 had the most traffic I'd encountered in over a thousand miles. Around Tampa I noticed the temperature had risen significantly. At last warmth, real warmth in the upper 70s. Finally… Sweetwater Landing Marina on the Caloosahatchee River where my brother resides on a boat. I'll be there the next month and a half as winter wanes.
The day after arrival I stripped down to shorts and T-shirt. No socks or shoes, no sweater, winter coat, hat or gloves. The sun kisses bare bleached skin. It's wonderful. Migratory birds have the right idea. A change in climate does the body good.
While here I won't be reposed on a beach blanket all day. This is an expedition afterall. Everglades National Park is on a high priority to explore. Not as dramatic as Yellowstone or the Tetons but an ecology found nowhere else on Earth. Tremendous amounts of water flow in a sheet across miles of flat terrain.A sea of grass they call it. Cypress swamps, mangrove swamps, bogs and marshes are a habitat for birds, fish, reptiles and insects that have adapted to an environment of shallow flowing waters. Once rested I'm excited to explore.
Meanwhile my feet are so happy not to be encased in thick socks and heavy boots. Living on a boat you are pretty close to being outdoors all the time. It is so pleasant not to be encumbered with the weight of winter.
For now, Adios.

Some questions regarding this week's Bible Lesson (version 1.02)
For the Christian Science Quarterly Bible Lesson for Sunday, December February 18, 2001
The answers to all of these questions can be found (1) in the Bible Lesson itself, (2) in the "Bible Lesson study aid" at http://www.bibletexts.com/bl.htm, or (3) in other webpages on the BibleTexts.com website, the homepage of which is http://www.bibletexts.com.
No longer will you be called "Forsaken," or your land be called "The Deserted Wife." Your new name will be "God Is Pleased with Her." Your land will be called "Happily Married," because the LORD is pleased with you and will be like a husband to your land.
To whom or to what is the biblical writer referring? How does this apply to each of us today?

Great Ride!
I wish I wasn't limited to 500 words! Captain Rick made our trip around Charleston absolutely amazing. We brought our 10 month old with us and Rick made us feel completely at ease. He was friendly, accommodating when we needed to charge our time and had the boat fully stocked. We had the best time and would highly recommend him! Multiple dolphin sightings was a great plus. Thank you Rick!
We had the greatest day on Rick's boat. We were so happy with the entire experience. The boat is spotlessly clean, has great sun protection and areas to sunbathe, is well decorated and offers a smooth ride. Rick wasn't available on the day we were hoping to use the boat, but was able to secure a great captain who not only gave us a great day on the water, but also shared history and stories about the area. We couldn't have asked for more!
Rick was very quick with response and he and his member of crew Mandy did a great job. We enjoyed the tour and had a chance to make great photos!

With Fallout 76's battle royale mode Nuclear Winter, Bethesda is expecting more players to be visiting the Wasteland for the first time. The Fallout 76 patch 11 has a lot to do with making sure those new players are not beaten down right off the bat. For more veteran players, Bethesda is also implementing some much-requested features as well. These quality of life improvements will hopefully keep the favour of the players. Will players miss the challenge and the accompanying excitement from making new characters?
For new players, some things are a little more forgiving than for higher level characters. For instance, players under level 25 will be able to fast travel for a reduced price. Players under level 15 will be more resistant to disease. Bethesda is also adding more early challenges with rewards and items to give these new Vault Dwellers a better shot at surviving. Some of the areas surrounding the Forest will have creatures with reduced difficulty so that players will not be confined to the Forest.
Some quality of life changes include having legendary items and recipes fully display their descriptions. All attributes on legendary weapons will be listed instead of just the first. When crafting, the resulting items will be displayed in the menus. Speaking of recipes, raw food and fluxes will now have a 50% increased lifetime before spoiling. Fast Travel will also not reduce condition on food and drinks. Bethesda has also made changes to how Auto-Scrapping works and the Power Armour HUD options. You can view all the changes on Bethesda's blog.
Has Bethesda addressed any of your specific concerns with Fallout 76? Let us know in the comments below.
Welcome to enjoy the cheap price for Fallout 76 Bottle Caps& Items in Gamerusher! Gamerusher makes it easy to contact the customer support by offering Live Chat that is available for all customers 24 hours each day. We employ a large staff of well trained customer service agents and inventory specialists and use proprietary technologies to service your needs quickly.
