Hijab Store Online: A guide to buying hijabs in the UK
A guide to buying hijabs in the UK
For a muslim woman the hijab is the most important item of clothing that defines ones modesty. The primary function of the hijab is to cover your head and the meaning of the term hijab is modesty. These modest items of clothing have moved on from being just a means of coverage. Clothing companies that specialise in hijabs and scarves have started to bring out new types of designs including: plain, pleated, maxi, crimp and ridged designs.
These new designs and styles have bought a new era of modest wear, and in some cases have bought on a new form of fashion design. The current wave of designs has shown a rise in multitude of colours, patterns and styles of hijab wear.
How to wear the hijab?
Wearing the hijab is quite simple, the primary reason for wearing it is to cover all your hair and to only let the face be visible. There is however several ways you can wear the hijab based on the design type. There is the square look, the oblong shaped look and the triangular look. It is best to try all these types of hijabs to see what best feels comfortable to you and looks good for your own face and which one prefer based on how easy it is to wear. You could also choose the style, colour and pattern to match your current outfit. Some hijabs require you to wrap it around your head and tie it on one end.
Some people like to place a headscarf or bandana on their head before wearing the hijab so that it sits better and doesn't move afterwards. You can then place the hijab on your head so that the two ends of the hijab fall to either side of your shoulders and let one of the ends to be longer than the other. You can then wrap the ends around your head to ensure all your hair is covered. You can then use an accessory such as a pin to hold it in place, you can also leave one ends free so that it looks good. The overall rule is to ensure your hair is covered.
Are there any restrictions on which hijab I can wear?
There are no actual restrictions on what colour or style you can wear. It is best to go for colours that compliment your skin tone. You should also avoid dark colours in hot weather, however you can go for nylon based hijabs in the winter to keep you face warm. Try going for more comfortable materials such as cottons and silks, which will be less abrasive on your skin in the long term as they will let your skin breath, which is ideal for hot weather.

Blood Pressure Monitors
Before we look at how to use a home blood pressure digital monitor, and which ones are the best, let's first consider what the blood pressure readings will mean. These figures are taken from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
Systolic Pressure
Diastolic Pressure
< 120
< 80
120 – 139
80 – 89
Stage 1
140 – 159
90 – 99
Stage 2
> 160
> 100
Digital Home Blood Pressure Monitors v Doctor's sphygmomanometer
When you get your blood pressure measured at the doctor's office, he/she will place a cuff around your upper arm, level with your heart.
The cuff is inflated, and then, while the doctor listens on his/her stethoscope placed on your arm just below the cuff, the cuff is slowly deflated. the doctor is listening out for the first signs of a "tapping sound" which signals the point when the cuffs pressure is just less than the pressure of your blood, and blood flows intermittently past the cuff during heart beat. At this point, the doctor notes the pressure on the sphygmomanometer. This is your systolic blood pressure.
The cuff continues to be deflated until the "tapping" sound completely disappears. This is the point where full blood flow has been restored, and represents your diastolic blood pressure.
Measurements taken by your doctor are the most accurate, and most reliable. However, due to a phenomenon called "White Coat Syndrome", some patients find their blood pressure raised by the mere act of visiting the doctor. I suffer from this, and find that my blood pressure is significantly lower (even normal) at home, yet at the doctor's office, it is always high. Because of White Coat Syndrome, more and more doctors are recommending digital home blood pressure monitors for their patients.
If decide to buy a home monitor, you MUST get it checked at your doctor's office for accuracy. These meters can be extremely accurate, but you need to check that yours is calibrated properly. All you need to do is to go and get the doctor to check your blood pressure, wait 2 minutes, and then take your blood pressure using your digital meter. The two readings should be very similar (they wont be 100% the same as blood pressure varies). Once accuracy is confirmed, you can confidently take your blood pressure at home.
Types of personal blood pressure monitors
I have seen and used two types of home monitors. One has a cuff that goes around your wrist, while the other has a cuff that goes around your upper arm (at the level of your heart). While I have not done extensive testing, I did find the wrist cuff more temperamental and inaccurate. My own recommendation is that you buy a blood pressure monitor with the arm cuff. They are both similarly priced and can be bought for between $50 – $100.
Precautions when taking your own blood pressure
It is important that your are completely relaxed when you measure your blood pressure. There are also a few other guidelines that you should stick to before taking your reading:
- Empty your bladder before sitting down to take a reading.
- Don't drink coffee for at least an hour before measuring your blood pressure.
- Don't smoke for at least 1 hour before.
- Sit for five minutes with your back supported and your feet flat on the ground before taking your blood pressure. Keep your arm supported on a table at heart height.
- Do not wear tight fitting clothes on your arm. When you fit the cuff, your rolled up sleeve should not be constricting your arm at all. If in doubt, take off your top.
- Take two readings two minutes apart, and find the average.
Where to Buy Blood Pressure monitors
With these personal monitors being relatively cheap and yet highly accurate, we recommend you buy one to use at home. This will prevent "White Coat Syndrome" where your blood pressure is elevated just because you visit the doctors. However, when you get your, you must visit your doctor to check its accuracy. I recommend a cuff blood pressure monitor like this Omron:

Opel introduced the Speedster, otherwise known as the Vauxhall VX220, in the summer of 2000 and production lasted until 2005. No more than just one series of this model has been released.
The Opel Speedster is a mid-engined, 2-seat sports car that is produced in England at the carmaker Lotus' plant in Hethel, Norfolk. This model stands out mostly due to its great performance and handling.
The sole Opel Speedster version was unveiled at the 2000 Geneva International Motor Show. This mid-engined sports car is otherwise known under the badges Daewoo Speedster and Vauxhall VX220.
The car received different names so that both left-hand and right-hand drive versions were made available under distinct badges. The Vauxhall VX220 is the right-hand drive version that fits the UK market, while the left-hand drive Speedster is sold in the other European countries.
The Speedster's assembly at Lotus' plant in Norfolk, England, was shut down in 2005 and no direct successor has been released ever since.
The rear-wheel drive Opel Speedster sports a rear mid-engine that was initially released with a 2.2-liter capacity and 145 hp. It could reach up to 137 mi/h (220 km/h) and perform 0–60 mi/h in an average 5.9 seconds.
In 2003 the Speedster gets a new turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with 197 hp. The latter, race-purpose VXR220 version of this model was given 220 hp.
The Speedster works with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Aluminium sports chassis. Platform Lotus Elise series 2 platform Suspension Four-wheel independent, double wishbone suspension. Steering Power steering. Brakes Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS.
The 2-door, 2-seat roadster was styled by designers Niels Loeb, Martin Smith (exterior) and Steven Crijns (interior). The car panels benefit from an excellent stiffness that comes along with quite vertical edges and very well defined wheel arches. The Speedster's headlamps and tail lights stand out for their rather three-dimensional sculpting style.
Opel entered the automobile business in 1899, selling Opel-Lutzmann cars, the first of them being the "Patent Motor Car". Partnership between Opel and Lutzman was terminated in 1901 and Adam Opel's son initiated a new contract with the French carmaker Darracq that allowed the German company to built Opel-Darracq cars. These cars received their chassis from Darracq and their bodies from Opel.

Fed-Up Sheriff Goes off, Tells the Real Truth About Liberals and Mass Shootings
A Wisconsin sheriff sounded off on what he believes to be the "root cause" of mass shootings in the U.S., and called on parents to discipline their children more effectively.
Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt penned a Facebook post Thursday arguing that a major cause of mass shootings may be a radical culture shift that has occurred in the U.S. over the years — a culture shift caused by weak parenting.
"Following every mass killing, I ask myself, what has happened to our society?" Schmidt wrote. "I also wonder what the solution is to ensure our families do not become future victims."
Schmidt added that substance abuse and mental health problems are also a driving factor, but noted that "it is imperative that we raise our children in a manner that instills respect for authority."
According to Schmidt, every child needs to face "disappointment" at some point in his or her life in order to build character and develop a basic understanding of how to handle adversity.
"While no one wants their child to ever be disappointed or upset, when they are young, they need to face conflict and disappointment and learn to resolve it appropriately under the guidance of adults," the sheriff wrote.
He continued: "When youth are not taught how to handle difficult situations, they must find their own way to cope, which without guidance may be result in unhealthy or even dangerous future behavior."
Schmidt explained that his motive behind penning the piece was not place blame. Rather, he said he hopes to start a conversation that could lead to an effective solution.
However, with gun control being the end-all solution touted by the left, he chimed in with his thoughts on the matter.
"Many have strong opinions about gun control but realistically gun control will do nothing more than place a very small band aid on a much bigger problem," he stated in his conclusion.
And Schmidt may have a point. A Crime Prevention Research Center study that used data from 1950 through July 10, 2016 showed that 98.4 percent of mass shootings have occurred in areas where guns are banned.
The sheriff's post received a lot of positive feedback on social media, according to The Washington Times.
On Facebook user wrote: "Very well said…….and maybe putting God and religion back in our life could help the situation."
Another user thanked Schmidt for refraining from placing the blame on firearms.
"Thank you for recognizing the true problem and not just focusing on a gun control agenda like some of your colleagues around the country," the user wrote. "Like you said, it is a very complex issue." (For more from the author of "Fed-Up Sheriff Goes off, Tells the Real Truth About Liberals and Mass Shootings" please click HERE)

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition by the Britain-based global mobile giant Vodafone challenging a $1.7-billion tax notice served on the company related with the acquisition of majority stake in an Indian company last year for $11.1 billion. The HC order - if not challenged in a higher court - will result in about $2 billion (Rs 10,000 crore) flowing into the Income Tax Department.
Vodafone is likely to challenge the order in the Supreme Court. The high court has granted an eight-week stay, providing Vodafone time to appeal. The transaction was one of the largest mergers and acquisitions in India last year and the court's directive could have a potential implication on several other such acquisitions, both executed and potential.
VC Circle brings to you viewpoints from two leading corporate lawyers (Shantanu Surpure & Vijay Sambamurthi) discussing the ramifications of the High Court order.
On Attracting Capital Gains Tax
Shantanu : According to reports, the justices held that there was no "patent illegality" in the IT Department's notice to Vodafone. This supports the view that the IT Department may take a wider tax footprint including in cross-border transactions outside the jurisdiction of India.
Vijay : Since Vodafone's potential liability arises on account of its alleged failure to withhold tax from the payments it made to Hutchison Whampoa, the primary issue is that of whether the transaction in question attracted Indian capital gains tax in the first place, and if the answer to that question is in the negative, then of course, there can be no question of a liability on Vodafone for failure to withhold tax. Broadly speaking, a transaction could attract Indian capital gains tax liability either if (i) the seller is an Indian resident party, or (ii) if the capital asset being transferred is an Indian capital asset. Since the buyer and seller in this case were both non-resident entities, the key legal issue is that of whether or not there was a transfer of a "capital asset" as defined in the Income Tax Act, 1961.
The news reports suggest that the Hon'ble Court has taken the view that notwithstanding the fact that the company whose shares were sold is not an Indian resident, the said transfer still amounted to a transfer of an Indian capital asset, as there was a change in the indirect controlling interest of an Indian company. On this basis, the news reports suggest, the Hon'ble Court has held that as the person making payment to a seller for a transaction that was taxable in India, Vodafone was liable to have withheld taxes from Hutchison Whampoa.
If the above is indeed the basis and rationale behind the dismissal of Vodafone's writ petition, it seeks to establish a legal principle that an "indirect controlling interest" is also a capital asset distinct from the shares of an Indian company. I understand from press reports that Vodafone might prefer an appeal to the Supreme Court on the matter and has been given time to prepare its appeal.
On FDI
Shantanu : At a time when India is already suffering from the negative impact of a global recession and terrorism, the recent judgment may further dampen foreign direct investment ("FDI") into India.
Vijay : If the Supreme Court upholds the High Court's decision, then it would establish a binding legal position that indirect controlling interest in an Indian company amounts to a "capital asset", which position would have the force of the law of the land as per the Constitution of India. Needless to say, while such a position might result in a short-term surge in revenue for the Indian Government, however huge, it could have a pronounced adverse effect in terms of investor sentiment and impede FDI inflows into India.
Such a principle would most certainly increase apprehensions amongst the global business community about the unpredictability of the Indian tax regime, which in turn might adversely influence their decision to invest in India. This is a particularly badly timed double whammy for the Indian economy, which has already seen a slowdown in FDI on account of the global financial turmoil.
On Mergers & Acquisitions
Shantanu : In particular, this has an immediate bearing on similar cross-border transactions where the transactions occur between non-Indian entities which have Indian assets (the sale of the offshore holding company entity comes with the underlying Indian subsidiary companies).
Vijay : Firstly, this case is not merely about Vodafone's potential tax bill for the Hutch-Essar transaction, but also about the principle being applied by the tax authorities to numerous other deals that have already taken place in the past! This could mean several done M&A deals possibly getting scrutinized by the tax authorities and several legal proceedings being commenced for recovery.
If that were to occur, it would also mean that the buyers in those deals would likely be studying their share purchase agreements with a fine tooth comb to consider options for recovering from the sellers any liability imposed on the buyers by Indian tax authorities. Indemnification clauses in share purchase agreements are likely going to be studied and debated (and fought over!) like they never have before in India.
On Deal Structuring
Vijay : Any global M&A transaction, even if it is a buy-out of one US company by another, for example, would now have to specifically address the tax implications arising on account of the transfer of "indirect controlling interest" of any Indian subsidiaries that the target company might have. This would make the transaction more expensive as a whole. This would also raise questions about how the 'indirect controlling interests" of the Indian subsidiaries of the target company are to be valued.
It would also mean, of course, that the Indian tax authorities could earn revenue on a global transaction that has nothing to do with India, but for the target having a subsidiary in India. One can expect the legal documentation (especially the representations & warranties and indemnification clauses) in global M&A deals to get a lot more complex (if they weren't complex enough already!).
On Investments Through Tax -haven routes
Shantanu : Many VC and PE funds invest in similar offshore structures with Delaware, Cayman and Mauritius being the most typical jurisdictions for holding companies. These holding companies typically then hold Indian subsidiaries.
Mauritius transactions have been under scrutiny for several years because of potential "round-tripping" issues where money may be routed out of India and then back into India. The Vodafone case adds a new dimension where the issue is not necessarily round tripping but one of capital gains where the IT Department is extending its jurisdiction outside of India. In any case, whether they are VC/PE or M&A transactions, the result may be greater scrutiny of offshore transactions including a demand to see the otherwise confidential transaction documents.
There are several interesting unanswered questions from the Vodafone case. The Vodafone case involved the Cayman Islands which does not have a double taxation treaty with India. In contrast, both the US and Mauritius have double taxation treaties with India.
Would a Mauritius blocker entity in between the Cayman parent entity and the Indian subsidiary have been an effective tax shield? Would a Mauritius holding company (rather than Cayman) have been more effective as a tax shield? Similarly, had this been a Delaware holding company and capital gains tax already been paid in the US, then the IT Department may not have able to claim the tax as it would have resulted in double taxation.
One upshot of the case may be that holding company structures may move to jurisdictions which have a double taxation treaty with India, although the scenarios described above have not been tested in the courts yet.
Vodafone will certainly appeal the verdict to the Supreme Court. The likely argument will be that the transaction occurred between two offshore entities and therefore India does not have tax jurisdiction. The Bombay High Court at least was unsympathetic to this view.
The Vodafone case is not without precedent as tax authorities globally have also become more aggressive on the taxation of offshore entities.
As an example, in the period after the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s - three leading US private equity funds, ie. Newbridge Capital, Carlyle and Lone Star Funds routed investments in Korea either through the Malaysian tax haven of Labuan or through Belgian or Cayman entities. Upon the sale of assets in Korea in the mid 2000s, the Korean tax authorities made similar capital gains tax claims as the IT Department. In addition, Korean prosecutors brought criminal charges of tax evasion against Lone Star executives.
Vijay : If a Cayman Islands company which indirectly owns a subsidiary in India does an IPO in the US markets (very common start-up structuring model in the US) in which the founders sell their shares through an offer for sale, that could also potentially be held to be a transfer of an "indirect controlling interest" of an Indian company by the founders, resulting in Indian capital gains tax liability! A rather strange position, if one considers that even income earned by transfer of ADRs and GDRs and FCCBs issued by Indian companies (and which are convertible into direct equity positions of the Indian company) has specifically been exempted under the Income Tax Act from capital gains tax!
Concluding Remarks
Shantanu : Given the emerging scenario, the prudent approach for funds or companies entering into offshore India related transactions would be to factor in capital gains or other tax liabilities both at the time of the initial structuring and at the time of the potential exit, both of which may impact valuation. In addition, indemnity provisions in the transaction documents, particularly with respect to future tax claims and liability, will become critical.
Vijay : Ironically, if this principle is upheld that an indirect controlling interest in an Indian company is an Indian capital asset, it would effectively mean that had Vodafone directly bought the shares of Hutch Essar India from Hutchison Whampoa's Mauritian subsidiary (instead of buying the shares of the Cayman subsidiary which owned the Mauritian subsidiary), Vodafone would have had no liability whatsoever, as the selling entity, being a resident of Mauritius, would have been exempt from capital gains tax anyway.
Ironically again, this would mean that the importance of jurisdictions like Mauritius and Singapore would now only INCREASE in the context of private equity and M&A transactions."

Vijay Sambamurthi is the founder partner of Lexygen, a Bangaore based law firm focused on private equity/venture capital, M&A and general corporate transactions.

2014's biggest stories, #3: The return of NASCAR's legendary #3
It's been 13 years since Dale Earnhardt senior entered turn three at Daytona and lost his life protecting a lead held by cars that bore his name. 13 years have passed since the stylized #3 last took to a Sprint Cup race. Much has changed in the world of stock car racing over those years but one constant remained the same; team owner Richard Childress would not field a Sprint Cup car with the number he once won championships with. Now, with grandson Austin Dillon ready to make his debut in the top tier series, Childress is finally ready to bring the number back. How Dillon does- and how fans react to the sight of his car- should prove to be one NASCAR's biggest stories in 2014.
Earnhardt was not the first driver to race the #3 at NASCAR's highest level. Junior Johnson, one of the biggest names in the history of stock car racing, piloted the #3 to nine wins in 49 races. Drivers ranging from Ricky Rudd to David Pearson to Cale Yarborough spent time behind the wheel of a #3 car. Childress himself has the second most starts with the number, having driven the car for 172 races before turning the keys over to Earnhardt. 30 of the 97 Sprint Cup wins earned under the number came with someone other than the Intimidator behind the wheel. In short, the number has earned its place in NASCAR history long before Earnhardt senior drove it.
Yet numbers have little to do with the place Earnhardt's slanted "3" holds in the hearts of NASCAR fans. He was the working class man who made good, the driver that fans either loved to hate or just plain loved. He talked and acted like the average fan in the stands. He combined the very best aspects of today's drivers all in one package and was the ambassador of a sport on the rise. He drove fans of other drivers crazy with his willingness to do anything it took to win and he did it all behind a pair of mirrors sunglasses that never betrayed the warm personality that those closest too him loved best.
Celebrate Earnhardt Sr with a diecast of his Daytona car
His death left a hole in the fabric of NASCAR that no one has quite been able to fill to this day. Many lost their passion for the sport because there really was no one else quite like Senior. Other drivers just didn't measure up. When Childress decided to continue racing (with Kevin Harvick behind the wheel) the following race, he left the #3 behind. Harvick drove the #29 to 23 wins in 13 years with RCR but he never once designed to enter the #3. During Earnhardt Jr's free agent summer of 2007, some speculated that he might sign on with RCR to drive the car his father made famous. Instead, aside from a spot Nationwide race from time to time, Junior allowed the #3 to say in unofficial retirement.
Two years later, the number quietly returned to NASCAR in a (relatively) unlikely place. Richard's grandson, Austin Dillon, drove a #3 truck twice during the 2009 season and brought it back for the full 25 race season in 2010. At the time, Dillon was just doing what he'd always done. Growing up a fan of Poppop's race team, Austin made a habit of using the #3 around the country on developmental circuits. So despite growing up in the shadow of Earnhardt's death, it's unlikely that Austin recognized just how powerful a force he was touching initially.
But Childress knew. He's often described himself as the world's biggest Earnhardt senior fan. The two were close friends off of the track and six time champions on it. No one understands just what seeing the #3 on a NASCAR track means as well as Childress does. He's a part of the car's history both as a driver and as a team owner. After all, he gave up his own career as a driver (despite never quite being able to win a Winston Cup race) so that Earnhardt could become "The Intimidator".
It's also that kinship to both the number and the man behind it that makes seeing the 3 return easier to take. While accessible to the media and living life as an Everyman, Earnhardt was still a very private man. He didn't often speak publicly about life after racing. The formation of Dale Earnhardt Incorporated showed that Senior must have spent time thinking about it. Childress, who was his closest friend, says that Senior spoke of wanting to see the #3 live on and win titles without him. If that's true (and there's no reason to think it's not), then the number has already been away far too long.
Since first bringing the #3 back to the track, Dillon has done both himself and the number proud. He won a Camping World Truck series title in his second full season there. He moved up and won a Nationwide title in his second season there as well. Since he began running a full-time NASCAR national series schedule he's won seven races, scored 49 top five finishes and landed inside the top five in season points for his full time series.
Perhaps even more important than the wins and championships, Dillon has proved adept at handling the pressure that comes with running one of NASCAR's iconic numbers. He has endured an ever-increasing media spotlight while maintaining an easy smile and confidant tone. He may not have initially recognized what the #3 meant but he's clearly learned over the past four years. He also shows a deep knowledge of the number's history for his family. He seems to look at the number not as a cross to bear (as Earnhardt Junior seemed to do) but as a dear old friend we hadn't seen in a while.
The desire to see the #3 return to the track is not a universal one. Critics have noted that young Dillon and Earnhardt come from vastly different places. Earnhardt grew up dirt poor, scrapping for every ounce of speed he could get when winning was the difference between feeding his family and going bankrupt. Dillon grew up in a wealthy family who provided top flight racing equipment every step of the way. Earnhardt forced his way into the sport on sheer guts and talent while Austin and younger brother Ty are accused by some of being "silver spoons". To some fans, the idea that the #3 is coming back to the track while driven by someone like Dillon is sacrilege.
RCR announces Austin Dillon will run the 3
Yet to blame Austin for being born into the Childress family is ludicrous. He cannot control who his parents are any more than the rest of us can. He cannot control that he's been given opportunities that other racers of similar age and talent have not. All he can do is make the most of those opportunities once they are provided. He's done precisely that, all the while showing respect to those who came before and respect for the others on the track. He may not have "earned" the right to drive the #3 in some fans' eyes but neither has he disgraced himself or the number while driving it.
For many fans, seeing the #3 come to the green flag at Daytona will be a moment of healing 13 years in the making. The car that brought them unbridled joy will be on the track once again, running on the high banks that once took that joy away. Some of the toughest men on the planet will be watching that car come up to speed with a tear in their eye and no one will judge them for doing so. The healing that begun with Steve Park, Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt Jr in 2001 will come full circle a month from now. If for that moment alone it will be worth it.
And there's no reason to believe that moment will be the end. Dillon has won races against a wide range of competition at nearly ever level. He's already won two NASCAR championships and will have the opportunity (matched only by Greg Biffle) to win a season championship at the Truck, Nationwide and Cup levels. His career is on the rise and his talent is undeniable. If starting a single race can make grown men cry, imagine the reaction should Dillon hoist a Sprint Cup trophy while standing atop a black #3?
Somewhere, a man with a helluva good mustache might be getting the champagne ready.

Now it's your turn!
Should the #3 return to a Sprint Cup car?
I used to be part of the contingent that wanted the #3 retired: it belongs to Sr, end of story. I thought I'd always feel that way.
Now seeing that it's back, I'm excited! I want to see how Austin does. I know virtually squat about him (I don't follow trucks or Busch series), and I think that'll help in that I don't have any preconceived notions or expectations.
I'll be wearing my 3 gear on the 23rd and teary-eyed watching that car make it's first lap, and hopefully it'll be one lap of many more coming!

Doing Pawn The Right Way
Elements to Prioritize When Picking a Pawn Shop
A pawn is one of the great ways that you can obtain some money for items that you do not want. Additionally, you can have a collateral loan in a very short time if you are in a bind. Unfortunately nit every pawn shop is created equal. Therefore it is important that you do some research so as to ensure that you get the right shop for the needs that you have. Discussed below are some of the aspects that you should put into consideration when selecting a pawn shop.
To start with, prioritize the customer service. It will not be easy for a pawn shop that lacks good customer service to remain in business for long. You should pay a visit to the pawn shop that you are planning to work with to observe how professional their employees are. Also, find out whether they respect their customers. It is vital to have an idea of the cost you can likely get for the items you intend to pawn. Reason being you will be in a position to know how accurate their employees are when doing their assessment.
The second thing is that you should go through customer reviews. It is advisable that before decide to walk into a pawn shop, you research online concerning the local pawn shop. You can also ask around and see what the friends you have, are recommending. A good pawn shop is going to have so many customers that are satisfied. Most of these customers normally post online. Make sure that you see what is being said by these customers. In the event that their reviews are positive just know that the pawn shop will not be a disappointment. Nevertheless, if the pawn shop is given negative reviews just avoid them.
Doing research on the market price is crucial. A pawn shop is supposed to be upfront when it comes to their prices and terms. Customers are supposed to feel that they can rely on the pawn shop. The pawn shop should be up to date when it comes to the items that you are buying or selling. You can make a point of getting information beforehand in the market price of your item. This will be evidence that the pawnbroker is experienced enough to give you the guarantee that the transaction will go well.
Lastly, make sure that the pawn shop is one that is properly licensed. Pawn shops are supposed to carry both the state and local license. A good pawn shop is going to be in possession of more than a single license.

The Ukip candidate upstaged by the defection of Douglas Carswell has refused to "stand aside" for the former Tory MP and says he will still fight for selection.
Roger Lord, the existing general election candidate in the seat of Clacton, said he would not drop his campaign – despite his own party telling him to back down.
But Ukip's ruling national executive committee said he was "mistaken in his belief that he is the candidate" and that he could "best serve the party's and the county's interests" by backing Mr Carswell as its candidate.
Mr Carswell's resignation on Thursday, triggering an immediate by-election, marked Nigel Farage's biggest coup so far and prompted reports that eight more Conservative MPs were planning to jump ship.
Senior Eurosceptic Tories denied he was the first of many, with John Redwood saying the "so-called eight" were "a figment of Ukip's imagination".
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Lord said he would "absolutely" contest the selection and hoped he would get a "fair hearing".
He said: "Douglas Carswell could have done what I did in 1997 – let my conservative membership lapse and joined Ukip. Everybody thought I was mad, but all these years later, we've built an organisation that can take on the establishment.
"He's only jumped ship because the water's around his ankles – he's got nowhere else to go. He knows that if we meet in public I can debate him down.
"He could have rung me, he could have called me, he could have called round at my house for a cup of tea. Bu he didn't do that, and he'll pay the consequence. If you push somebody too hard, they'll push back."
He also seemed to hint that he might attempt to join the Conservatives, claiming he had recruited "key members" of Mr Carswell's campaign team who do not wish to work with him.
The defection leaves David Cameron, the Conservative leader, facing the prospect of a by-election in a previously safe Tory seat and growing questions about whether he can keep his back-benchers in line.
It came as all the more surprising as earlier this year Mr Carswell told Eurosceptics to get behind Mr Cameron and his referendum pledge.
Mr Cameron condemned Mr Carswell's decision, describing it as "deeply regrettable, counter-productive and self-defeating".
Although local media had previously reported the selection of Mr Lord, Ukip's party secretary said he "[was] not now, nor has he ever been, the by-election candidate for Clacton.
"[He is] mistaken in his belief that he is the candidate and he can best serve the party's and the county's interests by standing behind the decision of the NEC."
John Redwood, a former challenger for the leadership of the Conservative Party against John Major, said the purported eight potential defectors were merely the "dining list" of Stuart Wheeler, Ukip's rich treasurer and fundraiser.
Mr Redwood said: "Apparently now nobody should accept an invitation from Mr Wheeler, who has been the friend of quite a lot of Conservatives in the past, because then we score as someone thinking of defection.
"Dream on, Ukip – it's the kind of rumour you would put around if you were them."

Plus, you can be rewarded in the process.
It's good for you and good for the world.
Living more ethically and sustainably is something that we should all aspire to do. Collectively, small changes can make a big difference – and, as Captain Planet says, the power is yours. But what if you could do the right thing and be rewarded in the process? Read on, and we'll show you how you can put the Velocity Frequent Flyer program to good use (for you, the community and the environment).
Earn Velocity Points via our sustainable partners
Envirobank is an innovative environmentally-focussed organisation that specialises in rewarding recyclers for their efforts. Their Crunch program allows you to rack up Crunch credits for every eligible bottle and can that you recycle at one of their locations.
What's better, transfer your Crunch credits to Velocity Points whenever you want. Each recycled item is worth 15 Crunch credits, which can be redeemed for five Velocity Points1. It's a win for the environment and a win for you. That means if your household consumes beer, soft drink, bottled water, and other recyclables – you could potentially be missing out on thousands of Velocity Points a year. In fact, just one can a day represents nearly 2,000 Velocity Points over the course of a year. Trust us, the math checks out.
If you're a small business (or just someone who spends a lot of time in the post office), you should look into Sendle. Sendle collects parcels directly from your door and will get them to where they need to go, saving you time and money in the process. Most importantly, Sendle is Australia's very first 100% carbon neutral delivery service (who took out top spot at the 2016 Banksia Sustainability Awards). Just link your Velocity membership with your Sendle account, and you'll earn one Velocity Point per dollar spent as an Easy or Premium account holder2. What are you waiting for?
Spend your money with ethical businesses (and boost your Velocity balance)
You can also earn Velocity Points for shopping with ethically-minded businesses. Voting with your wallet is a direct show of support for ethical companies, and it's super simple to do with the Velocity eStore. Just log on, ensure your cookies are enabled and start shopping with over 200 global brands - plus earn Velocity Points in the process3 – it couldn't be easier.
Look for companies like Kathmandu, whose EarthColors range converts agricultural waste to fabric dyes, or Bonds, who are committed to reducing their carbon emissions by 40 per cent as well as diverting 100 per cent of their landfill material by 2020. Alternatively, shop with online retailers like The Iconic or Mr Porter that stock sustainable brands like Patagonia or Arc'teryx. Despite Kermit's protests, it's actually pretty easy to be green (and look good doing it).
Make donations (and be rewarded for it)
If you'd prefer to make a difference directly, you can still do so via the Velocity eStore (and earn Velocity Points in the process). Donate to the Starlight Children's Foundation to make a difference in the lives of ill children, or to Points4Purpose – a social exchange program that allows you to support a cause of your choice. For every dollar that you donate to either charity, Velocity will give you one Velocity Point3. It's a feel-good circle of giving where everyone wins. If only everything in life could be as simple.
- Velocity Frequent Flyer members must link their Velocity membership to their Crunch account to enable the transfer of their Crunch credits to Velocity Points. Once set up, each month your Crunch balance will be transferred to your nominated Velocity Frequent Flyer Account on the 1st (first) of every month. Linked members may transfer a minimum of 15 Crunch credits (equivalent to 5 Velocity Frequent Flyer Points) per redemption. Crunch credits can only be transferred in increments of 15. Visit envirobank.com.au/crunch to transfer Crunch credits. Crunch credits transferred for Velocity Frequent Flyer Points will be credited to the linked Velocity account . To earn and redeem Velocity Points, you must be a Velocity member. Standard Crunch Terms and Conditions apply to the collection of Crunch credits. Standard Velocity Frequent Flyer Terms and Conditions apply once Points are transferred to Velocity Frequent Flyer.
- Velocity members will earn 1 Velocity Point for every $1 spent once the members' 'Easy' or 'Premium' Sendle account has been linked to their current Velocity account. Velocity Points will be earned on the dollar value of orders paid for and picked up ('purchase'). It is the responsibility of Velocity members to link their Sendle account to their Velocity account by adding their Velocity Membership number and name to their Sendle account. Velocity Points will not be earned when an incorrect Velocity membership number or name is associated with an account. Purchases completed prior to successfully linking your Sendle account to your Velocity account will not earn Velocity Points. To be eligible to earn Velocity Points, the Velocity member must be the person who makes the purchase. No Velocity Points will be earned when a purchase is subsequently refunded. Sendle 'Pro' account members are not eligible to earn Velocity Points for any purchases. Any applicable Velocity Points will be awarded 14 days after the completion of the purchase. All purchases are governed by Sendle's Terms and Conditions and Sendle's Privacy Policy. To earn and redeem Velocity Points you must be a Velocity member. Velocity membership and Points earn and redemption are subject to the member Terms and Conditions, as amended from time to time.
- To earn Velocity Points, the Velocity member must be logged into the Velocity eStore website (using their Velocity membership number and password) and access the retailer's website via the links from the Velocity eStore. In using the Velocity eStore the Velocity member agrees to the use of cookies to track and record purchases made by the Velocity member via the Velocity eStore. It is the Velocity member's responsibility to ensure that cookies are turned on in their browser and that the security settings in their browser allow the use of cookies. Not all items purchased through the Velocity eStore are eligible for Points earn. See the individual retailer purchase conditions available on the individual retailer's page on the Velocity eStore website for full details of any exclusions. Once you enter the retailer's online store, the retailer's Terms and Conditions will apply. Click here for full Velocity eStore Terms and Conditions. Retailer eVoucher promotions are at the sole discretion of the retailer, please see the retailer's site for further terms and conditions. Promotions are available while stocks last. Velocity membership Terms and Conditions apply.

Flexible rules for overseas insurance companies in Myanmar.
New rules have been announced relating to the funds required by an overseas insurance company, when operating in Myanmar. In the past, the capital fund required was set at $1 billion based on their operations in Myanmar. Although this figure remains unchanged, the insurer can now include the funding on their total operations, including figures from overseas. There has for some time been a call for change, due to what was seen as a high benchmark.
At present foreign insurance companies can only operate in the Special Economic Zones in Myanmar. In 2015 three insurance companies from Japan were awarded operational licences. More recently, reports have stated that further licence requests have been received from local and overseas insurance companies.
In October 2016, local sources disclosed that the government planned to open the market to foreign insurers during 2017. It was also said that the government planned to reduce restrictions on local firms, who until now have been required to offer only pre-defined products at standard prices. Furthermore, The Financial Regulation Department, under the Ministry of Planning and Finance, would present a 'road map' for insurance liberalisation.
Currently, insurance and insurance broking business must be conducted through either a company incorporated in Myanmar or a company established outside Myanmar with an established place of business in Myanmar.
Until 2013, Myanma Insurance was the sole insurer in Myanmar, and is the state-owned insurance company, founded in 1952. The Insurance Business Supervisory Board, which reports to the Ministry of Finance and Revenue, is responsible for licensing insurers, underwriting agents and insurance brokers. Myanma Insurance performs the work of the Supervisory Board.
There are reports that the Ministry of Planning and Finance will also introduce changes that would authorise foreign insurance companies to serve customers who are not within the Special Economic Zones. The Ministry is mandated "to formulate and implement effective monetary and financial policies to meet new political, economic, social, and other development objectives laid down by the State". The ongoing growth in the Myanmar economy is leading to changes in rules for the insurance sector, together with an increasing demand for insurance services.
FocusCore helps companies start trading in Myanmar. We are not only capable of helping overseas companies fulfil the process of company incorporation and then operate in Myanmar, but also facilitate introductions to local and international companies already trading in Myanmar.

Creamy Basil Chicken Pasta is a combination of fresh basil, chicken, and asparagus with a bit of creaminess. Here, I have tossed it with some gluten free sweet potato noodles, but it works well on any kind of pasta!Jump to Recipe
Living in an urban setting as I do, I no longer have a garden. (Boo.) You can be darn sure, though, that I found a tiny patch of ground for a basil plant. I just love the aroma, and the freshness that it adds to any summer dish.
You probably know by now that I also love pesto. (See my AIP Pesto recipe.) This dish combines sort of that pesto-y taste with creamy chicken and asparagus.
When I serve this in my house, my family has it over regular pasta while I enjoy it with sweet potato noodles. You could also serve this sauce over zoodles, or maybe cauliflower rice. Whatever. I encourage you to experiment in your kitchen!
About those noodles…
Did you know that there is actual pasta out there that AIPers can have??? Yes, my friends. Try sweet potato noodles, made with only sweet potato starch. These noodles are also called glass noodles because when you cook them, they become transparent. They're a little bit weird in that regard, but when you've been on this diet as long as I have, anything that reminds you of real pasta is a joy. A joy, I tell you.
One last comment. It is really handy to have a mini food processor in your house. (Yes, I talk about this all the time!) I use mine for pesto, sauces, dips, dressings, etc. And just to add some fun to my kitchen, mine is bright yellow. 😀
Wishing you love and healing!
Creamy Basil Chicken PastaCourse: MainCuisine: AIP, PaleoDifficulty: Easy
Creamy Basil Chicken Pasta is a combination of fresh basil, chicken, and asparagus with a bit of creaminess. Here, I have tossed it with some GF sweet potato noodles, but it works well on any kind of pasta!
2 TBSP + 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 lb. chicken tenderloins, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 tsp + 1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup full fat coconut milk
2 cups chopped fresh basil
5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/2 TBSP large flake nutritional yeast
2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
2 cups chopped fresh asparagus (discard woody last quarter of the stalks)
1 TBSP arrowroot starch/flour
1 TBSP water
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a chef's pan or large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sauté for two minutes.
- Add coconut milk. Cover. Reduce heat to medium low. Cook for ten minutes. Meanwhile…
- Place 1/2 cup olive oil, basil, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a mini food processor or blender. Process until it is about the consistency of pesto. Set aside.
- When the chicken has cooked for ten minutes, add asparagus. Stir. Cover and cook another ten minutes.
- In a small container with a tight-fitting lid, place arrowroot starch and water. Shake vigorously to make a slurry. Add slurry to the pan, and turn the heat to high. As soon as the liquid thickens (which will happen quickly!), turn the heat down to low.
- Add basil mixture to the pan. Stir to combine. Taste to see if you'd like more salt.
- Serve over sweet potato noodles, zoodles, spiralized veg, etc.

How to Write Clean Code: Part I
How to Write Clean Code: Part I
In this article, the author explains the importance of writing clean code and provides four different ways to be sure that yours is clean.
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
We're always talking about writing good, clean code according to best practices and standards, but do you ever ask yourself, "Is my code really good?" If you haven't, then most likely your code is not at all good. Most of the time, we are proud of our ability to solve problems, but if you are not articulating thru proper art of authoring your code then you will never be appreciated for what you have written. Code is not just for computers but also for your fellow developers to understand. If you have not done it properly, then during support, a lot of effort will be put into cleaning up your code.
Computers can understand code written by idiots of any culture but what's important is to ensure that anyone who can read code can understand your code.
It's always misunderstood that speedy development means bad code and more times means good code. That's completely wrong. Speed has no mathematical equation to make your code look bad; please get the hell out this misconception! If you would like to be called a professional developer, then it is very important that you author beautiful code (no, you are not going to use colors or italics or bolding). Dirty code means more noise that interrupts and reduces the quality of the good music. Here are some ways to write the best possible code.
Follow Some Principles and Don't Compromise
Choose the editor and accessories that matter to you. It is very important to not abuse what you like. The minute you do that, you have done damage that can't be repaired. Learn through examples and experiences that you and others have had. Choose the right tools and techniques that ensure that you won't deviate from authoring the best code.
Layer It So You Know What to Write Where
If you are choosing to write HTML code with script injection, then you are doing it terribly wrong. JavaScript is a tool for storing markups. SQL code should be separate from your business layer and injecting it to the same layer will make you embarrassed, even in front of recent college grads. It is important for you to ensure that you code in the layer it matters. Never write HTML injection in the service layer and don't try to overboard by using hacks. Hacks give immediate relief for the pain, but do the hacks only if you have more affinity to pain in the end.
Separation of Responsibility
Your code should tell what it is doing and express this very clearly. You don't want to end up putting more citations about what the code is going to do. Ensure that your code does one thing and not too many things. Break code into pieces so that every unit understands what it should be doing. Your desk becomes messy over time, not on day one; it's the same with code. Put in the effort to keep it up.
DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
This principle is something taught on the day one of programming that don't repeat yourself. The idea behind this is that a piece of code doing the same thing should be written only once. This is simple and doesn't need more explanation. If you are copying and pasting code, then you are repeating. Apply this idea alone and you will end up writing good code. The intention is that if you don't repeat yourself, then you will fix code issues and not repeat code fixes.
If you follow the above four principles, then you have authored code in a best possible way. Write the code as if others are going to read it (computers understand it, but your peers, boss, clients, etc. read it and will have no patience to solve your code puzzle).
Stay tuned! In my next blog, I will take on the practices of writing classes and functions, declaring variables, following design patterns, and more.

A young Huddersfield Town fan found an adorable way to thank one of his favourite players after his team's fairytale win over Manchester United .
Little Adam Bhana was at the Kirklees Stadium to see the Terriers 2-1 victory with goals from Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre.
The youngster found a £5 at the football ground and - having been taught "we cannot keep what is not ours" - he thought of the perfect recipient.
In a heartwarming pencil-written letter to club director Sean Jarvis, Adam suggested that manager David Wagner should give the cash to Mooy as a reward.
The note read: "I was at the Huddersfield against Manchester United match.
"I found a £5 note at the stadium and gave it to my dad because we can not keep what is not ours.
"Can you please ask Mr Wagner if Aaron Mooy can keep the money because he played very well and scored yesterday.
"I have put the £5 pound note in the envelope."
Jarvis was charmed by the gesture, and shared the letter on Twitter, adding: "Pure class from young Adam."
Mooy himself later replied to the tweet, saying: "I would love to meet you Adam."
Boss Wagner hailed Huddersfield's victory over United as one of the proudest moments of his career.
The German watched on as his side stunned United at the John Smith's Stadium, running out 2-1 winners in West Yorkshire.
Goals from Mooy and Depoitre put them 2-0 up in the first half, which saw Jose Mourinho introduce Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Marcus Rashford at the break.
England striker Rashford pulled one back for the Red Devils, but Huddersfield hung on for one of the most famous results in their modern history.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch bypassed the American people to bring a vile congregation before the Islamic High Council, AKA the United Nations – entitled the Strong Cities Network.
This global police force was dreamed up by professors from the halls of Oxford and spearheaded by the New World Order think tank, the Institute of Strategic Dialogue.
Now launched as of September 29, 2015, it is described on the Strong Cities Network website as "a global network of local authorities united in building resilience to prevent violent extremism." The Strong Cities Network will be spearheaded by an International Steering Committee of cities and local authorities selected from different regions across the globe.
Of course Muslim-Americans are complaining they will be targeted, but most Americans are well aware of who the real target is.
Watch: Alex Jones breaks down the UN's Strong Cities Network.
Watch: Lee Ann McAdoo and David Knight analyze the law enforcement initiative which would encompass the globe.

Terezín – Refuge in Music – A film with D. Hope and A. S. von Otter
Daniel Hope has devoted the last 15 years to the intensive study and preservation of music by composers who were murdered by the Nazis. Many of them were imprisoned in the Terezín (Theresienstadt) concentration camp. Following a prize-winning Deutsche Grammophon CD with Anne Sofie von Otter, featuring this music as well as giving concert tours, lectures and seminars sharing this music with the world, Daniel Hope helped to produce this documentary film, in a sense, a continuation of the journey.
The film tells the story of Alice Herz-Sommer and Coco Schumann, two extraordinary musicians from very different musician worlds, both of whom survived Terezín. The Film was made possible by the very generous support of the Bayerische Akademie der Schönen Künste. All musicians in the film appeared without a fee and all musician royalties are donated to charity.
"Terezín – Refuge in Music" – A documentary by Dorothee Binding and Benedict Mirow, producer Katja Schaefer was awarded the ICMA 2014 Prize in the category "Best Documentary".
The Trailer can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag54epiu9Tg
