Accident Reporting in the Workplace
Incidents can have serious implications and costs to the business including injury costs, lost time, repairs and in more serious cases loss of customer confidence. In order to learn from previous accidents and help avoid re-occurrence, accurate reporting and investigations are essential.
An accident can be defined as a number of incidents which would occur, including injury, fatality, fire, hazards, "near misses", disease, security or environmental events.
Accident Report Book Template
It is important to report and investigate all incidents.
Arguably the most effective method is to report and investigate Near Misses as no injury or damage to property has occurred. Effective investigations will identify the contributory factors leading up to the Near Miss or any other incident. Additional controls can be put in place before further injury or damage to property occurs.
In more serious circumstances, incidents must be reported to the Enforcing Authority, such as The Health & Safety Executive (HSE). You can check and report these via the HiViz Safety System whilst recording the incident online.
The HiViz Safety Accident Reporting Module offers a number of 'tools' not only to record incidents in an online accident book, but also carry out an effective investigation with the sole aim of preventing reoccurrence.
All the reports including statistical analysis of the results can be downloaded and stored.

Epic Games Store
Sometime in December 2018, Epic Game, the owners of Fornite, made their own digital distribution client, called Epic Games Store, where the developers get 88% of the revenue.[1][2]
Role in Gamergate
Epic Games Store's was praised from Polygon, Kotaku, and other mainstream game journalist news sites, for taking on "toxic pro-consumerism".[3][4] and lamenting that Steam does things poorly because of their "failure to police the system, some, gamers, have weaponised the tools Steam gives them" and "Review bombing is becoming a more and more common technique to inflict damage on certain games.[5][6] Even to the point of even shilling for Epic Games' new launcher, a Polygon article stated "The line about improving the economics of game stores "for everybody", the Epic Games has found a way to get more players to more closely consider the economics of storefronts, and it did with both exclusives and a lower price."[7][8] Ignoring issues, some of which are present in the Fornite launcher, where thousands of Fortnite gamers' accounts got hacked as well as taken over and that the new EG store doesn't comply with the GDPR laws.[9][10]
A December 10, 2018, article in Gamasutra by David Galindo, puts in his two cents, were he reached the conclusion that the new client isn't good in its current state, especially for indie developers. Galindo listed Epic Games' features to find that its' lacking. - Friend list (block/unblock functionality), DRM-free packages (optional),refunds, limited regional pricing (more to come in 2019). These lack of features are also this to him - Epic Games is "aren't necessarily taking just 12% to benefit developers, they're taking that 12% because they're offering absolutely nothing in return, feature wise, and it would be a crime to take any more than that at this stage."[11] He makes it clear that he's not against making money, what he doesn't love is the launcher client's restriction of the freedom to choose - "..Epic's launcher, the only way they can funnel customers into their launcher is by locking everyone else out. Outside of a lager dev cut, no one would or should ever choose the Epic launcher as their go-to store."[12] Gamers, including those that buy from Steam, aren't thrilled about the lack of features as well, even listing just how small it is, even suspecting that Epic Games Store does Chinese Commie spying, since Tencent owns 40% of Epic Games share.[13]
The Great Yonking
It's recently in 2019 that Epic Games Store began "poaching" games from Steam and making them timed exclusives, like Metro Escape, The Walking Dead's Final Episodes,[14][15][16] and Operenica: The Stolen Sun [17].[18] Epic Games's CEO, Tim Sweeney, in 2017, was bashing Microsoft for its using exclusivity on its Windows 10 app store as stated in this Polygon interview.

I'm enchanted by little things. Tiny boxes, miniature bottles… it's probably why we created the fairy garden in our front yard – to encourage little fairies to visit, and it's so fun to build the tiny houses and pathways.
When we took the kids to see Beauty & The Beast in 3D, we saw a trailer for a new Disney movie that I thought at first was a new take on fairies. The Secret World of Arrietty, however, is about tiny people living normal lives – using their own ingenuity and hard work – to survive.
They spend their lives "borrowing" raw materials from humans, and avoiding contact with them. The story unfolds when one brave little "Borrower" girl becomes friends with a human boy.
The kids and I can't wait to see this movie, which opens mid-February. The animation looks like no other Disney movie I've seen – lush, vibrant backgrounds, but spare, simple almost anime-style people. It looks very interesting.
I also love the subtle environmental message:
Arrietty and her family represent nature and the small things that one rarely thinks about––blades of grass, bugs––life that is usually tucked away in the environment and that has learned to live underfoot. They've learned to borrow from the planet only what is necessary to survive and will allow for comfortable living.
Here's the trailer from the movie, and Secret World of Arrietty Coloring & Activity_Sheets for the kiddles. You can also find more info and fun stuff on the Facebook page.
Will you see The Secret World of Arrietty when it comes out in theaters later this month?

Wasps Pest Control
Call us on 0777 9271 680
Wasps pest control by South Yorkshire Pest Control will always do our utmost to prioritise any Wasps nest treatment and attend the premises within 24 hours. We also offer a full guarantee without any extra charges to re-visit if the initial treatment fails for any reason until the problem is resolved.
Wasps are at their most active during the summer months in the UK. Many of us have suffered from the occasional sting from a wasp. It hurts a lot and some people who may be allergic can suffer terribly and even go into anaphylactic shock when stung. It is always advisable to let a professional pest controller deal with the problem.
Wasps are at their most active during the summer months in the UK. Many of us have suffered from the occasional sting from a wasp. It hurts a lot and some people who may be allergic can suffer terribly and even go into anaphylactic shock when stung. It is always advisable to let a professional pest controller deal with the problem.
Wasp Types UK
The main worry for us in the UK is the common wasp (Yellow Jacket) and the German wasp.Hornets a much larger species are also present throughout the UK.
Why Wasps Sting
By the time a wasp nest is established later in the summer, it may contain thousands upon thousands of wasps. If that nest was disturbed, they may become very defensive and attack in large numbers which could be very unpleasant for any person.In rare cases even fatal.Wasps are very defensive of their colonies, and if they feel threatened in any way, they can become very dangerous.The female wasps are the ones who will sting, and they may do so multiple times.
Nest Location – Common signs to look for if you suspect you have a wasp problem
You may see scores of wasps entering your property, sometimes under the eaves and gutters of the roof or a small gap/crack under a window or a ventilation brick, etc. They may then be building a nest inside the cavities of the house building etc. You may often find them in the roof space, under the tiles, under beams, etc. in bird boxes sheds garages. Sometimes at ground level and below and often high up and out of reach without ladders.
One of the easiest ways to locate a nest is to watch the wasps on their return flight path's and see where they're going. Naturally, this becomes a lot easier later in the summer as numbers increase.
Wasp Treatment Pest Control
Wasps nests are best dealt with earlier in the summer if possible.
DIY treatments are not recommended once a nest has become established.
If the nest is accessible to the pest control officer it will be a simple matter of treating it with professional grade insecticides that do not cause the wasps to become excited and overly aggressive. This can be done within 30 to 45 minutes if access to the nest is possible.
- As a general rule of thumb, the nest will not be removed at this point in time or any later time as once the nest has been treated all occupants will be destroyed.
This can take up to 48 hours to be completely clear of any returning foraging wasps.
If the customer does want the nest removing this can be arranged to be done at a later time a few days later, this would obviously incur extra costs and it's not really necessary other than for your own peace of mind because once the nest is dead it usually remains that way.
If for any reason the Wasps are still present after 5 to 7 days we will return and re-treat the site as part of our guarantee.
South Yorkshire pest control does not treat honey bees or any other type of bees unless for some reason they may be a threat to human health.
Honeybees are a protected species and if you suspect you have honeybees on your property the first port of call is a beekeeper who will put you in touch with the beekeepers association.
https://www.bbka.org.uk/ ( British Beekeepers Association )
It is sometimes quite easy to confuse a Wasp with the Honeybee so it's always best to get expert advice on the subject before attempting any kind of treatment etc.

The NBA officially accepted the Clippers-Celtics trade on Tuesday, sending Doc Rivers to the Clippers and a 2015 unprotected first round draft pick to the Celtics. After agreeing on a three-year, $21 million deal — making him the highest-paid coach in the league — the Clippers named Doc Rivers head coach and Senior VP of Basketball Operations. Per Clippers.com:
The Los Angeles Clippers today named Glenn "Doc" Rivers as the team's Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations and head coach. The Clippers signed Rivers after the Boston Celtics agreed to release him from his contract in exchange for a first round pick in the 2015 NBA Draft as compensation.
Rivers joins the Clippers after nine seasons with the Boston Celtics, compiling a 416-305 (.576) record and guiding the Celtics to the 2007-08 NBA Championship with a NBA-best 66-16 regular season record. Rivers led the Celtics to six Atlantic Division titles, the 2009-10 Eastern Conference Championship and a 59-47 (.556) Playoff record during his tenure.
Rivers is just one of only four active NBA coaches to win an NBA title, and since 2007-08 owns the third-highest winning percentage (.661) among current coaches.

One point of contention was whether to block internet access in the law school classrooms. They felt the students were distracted and multi-tasking. Professor Bainbridge made this quote about law firms embracing technology:
Law firms doubtless will resist these trends. Law firms are incredibly slow in adopting both new technologies and new approaches to human resources. Just as Chicago is trying to perpetuate the Kingsfieldian style of legal education, big law firms are trying to perpetuate the 1980s Wall Street model of lawyering. Just as Canute was unable to keep the sea from rolling in, however, these institutions will find that the tides keep coming. They'll need to adapt or die.J. Robert Brown over at the Race to the Bottom, notes:
The most interesting insight is his view on technology in the classroom. Luddites at Chicago have proposed that Internet access in the class room be cut off. Some professors likewise suggested that computers be banned from the classroom. As Bainbridge notes, the potential distraction provided by comptuers and the Internet are merely an "up-to-date version of an age-old issue."Clearly lawyers need to do a better job embracing technology to practice law, learn their craft and deliver their services.
As Bainbridge notes, its more than just a battle with technology (or even behavior). Its a refusal to find a way to integrate technology into the classroom. In my securities/corporate law classes, power point slides are augmented by routine use of the Internet. In securities, it's to go to the SEC web page and examine relevant SEC filings. Sometimes it involves a trip to the NYSE web site to look over the company's definition of independent director. Bainbridge notes that he has experimented with the use of blogs and is considering requiring students to construct wikis.

Online Billing
Welcome to Gardner-Webb University. We are honored that you have chosen GWU to further your education and offer this synopsis of financial information to aid the transition into your studies.
Each semester the Gardner-Webb University Student Accounts Office will provide an online bill for each student detailing charges (tuition, fees, etc.) and anticipated credits (grants, loans, etc.). For students who are registered, the GWU online bill generally becomes available for review about three weeks prior to the first class of the semester. Later registrants may expect to see an online bill within a matter of days of enrollment. After reviewing the bill, questions regarding charges should be directed to the Student Accounts Office (704 406-4287); questions regarding financial aid should be directed to the Financial Planning Office (704 406-4243).
Please note: The deadline for making payment in full, or for completing all requirements for financial aid or a deferred payment plan, will always occur at the beginning of the semester by the end of the first full week of classes. The actual due date will be provided via the online bill each semester.
Accessing Your Online Bill
With the username and password provided to you by Technology Services, log on through the WebbConnectportal in the top left corner of the GWU homepage (www.gardner-webb.edu). After accessing WebbConnect, click on the "Student Account" tab on the left, followed by "Online Bill."
The top portion of the billing page reflects your class schedule. The middle of the page includes charges to the left and anticipated credits to the right. Any remaining balance, indicating the amount for which the student remains personally responsible by the due date, is included below the charges section.
Additional links will be listed at the bottom of the online billing page including the deferred payment plan and a link for paying via credit or debit card.
Payment Methods
Any balance may be paid by the due date via one of the following methods:
Cash, check, money order or credit/debit card presented in person to the Student Accounts Office, first floor of Dover Campus Center (please include student ID number on check memo line).
Check or money order, payable to Gardner-Webb University, mailed to GWU Student Accounts Office, PO Box 7324, Boiling Springs NC 28017.
Credit or debit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or American Express) via the online payment link at any time or by calling the Student Accounts Office between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays at 704 406-4287. Please note that card info is not retained for security reasons. It will need to be resubmitted for each payment made via card.
Deferred payment plan to be found toward the bottom of the online bill. If charges and credits appear correct, click on the deferred payment link. (Print a copy of the plan before clicking on accept.) Submit the initial payment to the Student Accounts Office by the due date.
GWU Online Student Billing - Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I review my bill online? I have financial aid.
GWU utilizes an online billing system; paper bills are mailed only if the student contacts the Student Accounts Office directly and specifically requests a hardcopy of the semester statement.
It is important to review the online E-awards/eligibility section of Student Financial Aid to ensure all requirements have been completed (loan applications, loan entrance counseling, signing of the master promissory note, etc.). It is also important to review the charges and anticipated credits on your online bill for accuracy, for balances owed, and for payment due dates.
Some students receiving financial aid are selected for "verification." Additional information required for the verification process, such as W2s or other tax documents, should be supplied by the student to the Financial Planning Office in a timely fashion at the beginning of the semester in order to avoid late fees.
Specific questions regarding financial aid/anticipated credits may be directed to the Financial Planning Office (704 406-4243); questions regarding charges, the online bill, or payments may be directed to the Student Accounts Office (704 406-4287).
May I charge my textbooks to my student account?
Graduate students may charge textbooks to their student account during the first three weeks of the semester. Visit the GWU home page (www.gardner-webb.edu) then select "Student Life" at the top of the page, subsequently clicking on "student services" and "Campus Shop." The "textbook central" section will provide instructions regarding online orders as well as return/refund policies
If a student has sufficient financial aid, textbooks ordered online will be charged against the excess credit, reducing any anticipated refund for the student. For other graduate students who ordered textbooks online, the payment will be due approximately four weeks after the first class meeting.
I have excess financial aid. When may I expect my refund?
Refunds typically become available approximately 10-14 days after aid monies or other payments have been received that pay in excess of the semester's bill. Refund checks normally are mailed to the student's home address that is on file with the Registrar's Office.
My address has changed. How do I update my address?
Much of the correspondence from the University will be to your assigned GWU e-mail address. However, it is important to ensure that your mailing address is updated as necessary through the WebbConnect portal via the "Personal Information - Address Change" link online.
How do I make use of my employer's tuition reimbursement program?
Employer reimbursement is treated as a semester-by-semester contract and must be renewed each semester. Students may apply by downloading the two-page employer reimbursement policy/form at the lower left corner of the student's online bill. Fax the letter from the employer, indicating reimbursement specifics as noted in the policy guidelines, along with the signed individual form to the Student Accounts Office (fax 704 406-3055). Payment for the portion covered by employer reimbursement will be due to the University no later than three weeks after the end of the semester.
Do you offer a monthly payment plan?
Tuition and fees are payable in full at registration; however, the University makes available a deferred payment plan to students who prefer to pay their semester's costs in payments rather than in a lump sum at registration. This plan allows you to pay the balance due over a four month period during the fall and spring semesters (a two-month payment plan is offered during the shorter summer sessions).
The deferred payment plan may be found under the "Use a Payment Plan" link at the bottom of your online bill. Click on the link and the balance for which you are responsible will be broken into payments with amounts and due dates reflected in a copy of the plan (student should print this copy prior to clicking on "accept" for future reference).
The plan includes a $15 application fee and a nominal service fee of 2-percent on the deferred payments. Your student account will reflect the deferred payment arrangement once you have actually made the first payment which will be due the first week of the semester.
Please note that failure to make payments per the agreement may result in late fees and additional interest charges. Unpaid balances are not carried over from one semester to another and all indebtedness to the University must be satisfied before students will be permitted to register for the next semester.
FERPA Consent Form
Log in to the WebbConnect portal; click on the "Maintain Information" tab; then choose "FERPA Consent Form;" enter the names of the people you would like to have access to your records. Check the appropriate boxes for academic records, financial aid records, and accounts (billing) records for each person you list.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) refers to the requirement that students receiving financial aid enroll in and complete sufficient credits each term to complete their studies within a reasonable period of time as well as maintain an acceptable cumulative GPA. Gardner-Webb University is committed to ensuring that graduate and professional students are successful in completing their degree programs. Students who are not meeting the SAP criteria may be placed on financial aid probation and eventual suspension from receiving financial aid (including all types of financial aid).
Graduate and professional students must:
Maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) that is equal to or greater than the graduation standards published by their program;
Successfully complete a minimum of 67% of all hours attempted; and
Complete their program of study by attempting no more than 150% of the hours normally required for the degree.
Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average
Graduate and professional students must maintain a cumulative GPA that is equivalent to the graduation standards published by their program.
Minimum Completion Rate
Students must satisfactorily complete 67% of all credits attempted.
|Hours Attempted
|Hours Earned to Meet 67% Requirement
Maximum Timeframe
Graduate and professional students must complete their programs of study by attempting no more than 150% of the credits normally required for attainment of the degree.
For example, if a degree program can normally be completed with 50 credit hours, a student's financial aid eligibility will be suspended once the student has attempted 75 credit hours, whether the student has attained the degree or not.
Each graduate division determines the number of credits by which the student normally completes the degree. This information is available in the individual graduate program catalogs.
What happens if I fail to meet the minimum standards of academic progress?
- If you have failed to meet one or both (quantitative or qualitative) of the minimum standards at the time of review (end of spring semester), you will be placed on financial aid probation and continue to receive aid during your semester of probation.
- If you meet the minimum standards the subsequent semester, you will be placed back in good standing.
- If you fail to meet one or both of the standards again in the subsequent semester, you will be placed on financial aid suspension. Financial Aid suspension means that you will no longer be eligible for any financial aid, including loans. In this case you will be notified in writing.
If my Financial Aid is suspended, how can I regain eligibility?
- You can enroll for and attend a new semester without financial aid. You must however, enroll for the same number of credit hours as the semester which resulted in suspension. We will recheck your status at the end of the semester to see if you have regained financial aid eligibility.
- If you feel there were mitigating circumstances (death of a family member, injury, illness, etc.), you may appeal the suspension. To request an appeal you must: Submit a letter of appeal to the Associate Director of Financial Planning requesting reinstatement. Your letter must include:
- the reason(s) why satisfactory progress is not being made, with detail surrounding the mitigating circumstance
- documentation which supports the rationale for the appeal
Once received, the Financial Aid Appeals Committee will notify the student in writing of their decision within 14 business days after the Committee meets and makes its determination. All decisions made by the Financial Aid Appeals Committee are final.
Return of Title IV Aid
Students withdrawing from Gardner-Webb University (GWU) prior to completing 60% of the semester will have their financial aid prorated. A refund/repayment formula developed by the federal government is used to determine which sources of aid may be retained by the student. The formula considers the number of days in the semester compared to the number of days the student attended classes. Aid is "earned" based on the number of days the student was considered enrolled and disbursed accordingly. It is entirely possible to withdraw and owe GWU a balance.
Please note if a student is determined by the Registrar's Office to have stopped attending classes during the semester they are considered an unofficial withdrawal. Any financial aid received during the semester will be reduced accordingly. If this occurs a student will be placed on financial aid suspension for the upcoming semester.

Coherence and cohesion
Dear All,
In systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and in discourse analysis, there exist two notions, which are sometimes confused: coherence and cohesion. In this post I would like to clarify any potential confusion by defining the terms and by providing examples.
Coherence (from Lat. "cohaerere" – to stick together) can be understood in a wide sense and in a narrow sense. In a wide sense, coherence is the semantic structure which helps to unite several sentences into a holistic text. In a narrow sense, coherence is the connection brought about by reader's/listener's knowledge that helps him/her to understand any given discourse (e.g. through the knowledge of the context in which the discourse is unfolding). Coherence has to do with mental processes and cultural knowledge rather than any explicit discourse markers such as deictic words or linking words (Bussmann, 1998).
Example 1:
Tom: May I have some more?
Helen: Yes, of course, any time you want more, just go ahead.
In this example, Tom does not mention what exactly he wants, but through the context of the situation Helen knows that he is speaking about perogies (Tom has just finished a plate of perogies). Thus, despite the fact that Tom is not mentioning explicitly what he wants, his discourse is coherent as is Helen's (who is not mentioning perogies either).
Example 2:
[A newspaper article headline and a lead to it] A NEW AMAZING RECORD SET. Solomon University students have cooked the biggest perogi. A whole weekend has been spent in hard work.
Similarly, in example 2, there are no textual indicators pointing at the relationships between the sentences. However, it is still easy to understand the text based on the semantics and logical order in which the sentences are organized. Therefore, this text is coherent.
Cohesion "is the connection that results when the interpretation of a textual element is dependent on another element in the text. […] Cohesion refers to the connection that exists between elements in the text" (Renkema, 2004, p. 49).
"Cohesion is produced by (a) the repetition of elements of the text, e.g. recurrence, textphoric, paraphrase, parallelism; (b) the compacting of text through the use of devices such as ellipsis; (c) the use of morphological and syntactic devices to express different kinds of relationships such as connection, tense, aspect, deixis,or theme-rheme relationships" (Bussmann, 1998, p. 199).
Example 3:
James likes yellow apples. He eats them every day.
In example 3, the interpretation of "he" depends on another element in the text (i.e. "James"). Similarly, the interpretation of "them" depends on "yellow apples". In this case, cohesion is achieved by the use of personal pronouns "he" and "them".
Example 4:
Ann is not going to Ukraine soon. Ann has just returned from there.
In example 4, cohesion is achieved through the use of the deictic word "there" which relies on another element of the text, the noun "Ukraine".
The important difference between coherence and cohesion is that coherence relies on semantics of a given text as well as cultural knowledge and the overall context in which discourse is unfolding. There is no explicit manifestation of textual coherence in a text itself. Coherence is rather deduced from a text.
Cohesion, in turn, starts with concrete textual elements which are then built upon to produce the effect of cohesion. Cohesion is often manifested through the use of such "devices" as pronouns (e.g. I, he, she, it) and deictic words (e.g. here, there, then).
I hope that these definitions and the examples will help to understand better the notions of coherence and cohesion.

Okay. Already. I DO remember having stated in my first post that I will post links to only DIY hypertufa resources here. From time to time, however, I come across some great general DIY garden art tutorials which are just SO amazing that I just want to share them.
So, to keep it short, I am (sort of) bending my own rule a little bit here (but hopefully, in a structured manner). I'm creating a new category on this blog called 'Other Garden Art' and will post useful non-hypertufa garden art links under this category from time to time.
Here is the first one:
DIY Garden Mushrooms – by the good folks at Birds&Blooms. Just take a look – irresistibly pretty!!! Hypertufa or not, as long as you're in to DIY garden art, I"m nearly sure you'd want to build these (and the link below will show you how, very easily too):

Martin, Tenn. - With five minutes remaining, the Tennessee State University Tigers were able to outlast a 10-2 run by UT Martin for a 67-64 OVC win at the Elam Center on Saturday.
Holding on to a one-point lead with seven seconds left, Wil Peters knocked down two free throws and UTM missed a desperation three-point attempt to help TSU snap a three-game skid.
Robert Covington finished with game-highs, notching his fifth career double-double, with 18 points; 14 coming in the first half, and 15 rebounds. He shot 7-of-13 from the floor, dished out four assists while tacking on five steals and two blocks.
Kenny Moore added 15 points, six rebounds and a career high, five assists. Patrick Miller scored 11 points from 4-of-8 shooting, posting a career and tying a game-high with six assists.
For the game, TSU (7-9, 4-2 OVC) shot 48 percent from the floor and three-point range, winning the rebounding effort, 35-28. The Tigers held their largest lead in the first half, 31-15, from a 17-2 run.
UTM answered back to close out the half, outscoring the Tigers 16-7, but continued to trail at the break, 38-31. The Tigers only increased their lead back to eight points in the second but was able to answer the Skyhawks' short runs for the final outcome.
UTM (4-12, 0-5 OVC) drops their fifth straight, tenth in OVC play, shooting 44 percent from the floor on the night.
Reuben Clayton led the Skyhawks with 14 points from 4-of-8 shooting. Andres Irarrazabel shot 6-of-8 for 12 points, finishing with a team high nine rebounds.
Up next, the Tigers will host the top team in the OVC, Austin Peay State, for the White Out at the Gentry Center. The highly anticipated rivalry will be televised on ESPNU and is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 15, with a 3 p.m. tip-off.

Despite the growing popularity of ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft, demand for rental cars continues to increase. Although there are many different situations in which you may need to rent a vehicle, the two most common are as a replacement for your primary car after an accident or a means of transportation when you're traveling.
Understanding how your insurance applies in each of these situations can prepare you for the unexpected and help you to maintain your peace of mind, whether you need a vehicle in the aftermath of an accident or for sightseeing while on vacation.
When You Need a Rental Car After an Accident
Unfortunately, you can't put your life on hold after a car accident. You still have responsibilities that require a car, like going to work, running errands and keeping scheduled appointments. With a rental car, you are able to get these things done while your car is out of commission.
Does My Car Insurance Cover Rentals?
It's so important to understand your auto policy's Transportation Expense (or Rental Reimbursement) Coverage. It helps pay for the cost of a rental car while your vehicle is in the shop due to a covered loss.
1. Do I have Rental Car Reimbursement Coverage?
Generally, if you have auto insurance, you have some combination of comprehensive and collision coverage. Collision coverage pays for damage to your vehicle caused by contact with another object, such as another car or structure. Comprehensive coverage pays for non-collision-related damage to your vehicle caused by events such as theft, glass breakage or fire.
What your rental car reimbursement insurance will cover depends on whether you have collision coverage, comprehensive coverage or both. If you carry both comprehensive and collision coverage on your vehicle, your Transportation Expense Coverage will pay (at least in part) for a rental vehicle needed after a comprehensive or a collision loss. However, if you only carry comprehensive coverage, your rental car reimbursement insurance will kick in for a comprehensive loss (e.g., your car is stolen) but not for a collision loss (e.g., your parked car is hit).
2. Will my Rental Reimbursement Cover the Full Cost of a Rental Car?
How much Transportation Expense Coverage you have influences the type of rental vehicle you can select without incurring out-of-pocket expenses. For example, even if you drive an SUV, that doesn't mean your rental coverage will pay for a replacement SUV. Depending on your coverage, you may only have enough coverage for a compact car. This could make it difficult to carry on with your normal activities while you wait for your repairs. For example, imagine if you had to squeeze yourself, your spouse, three kids, and two pets in a compact car for more than a week.
Even if you can get by with a compact, your auto policy may not cover its full cost. In many auto policies, the base coverage for rental car expenses in the event of a covered loss is $20 a day. Let's say the average compact rental costs more than $30 a day. This means that you could face out-of-pocket expenses to cover the additional costs when renting a vehicle after an accident. If you'd like to avoid this type of out-of-pocket expense, consider adjusting your coverage.
Based on an average vehicle rental fee and an average vehicle rental length of 13 days.
3. How Do I Adjust My Coverage?
Adjusting your rental car reimbursement insurance is easy. It can reduce or eliminate your out-of-pocket expenses, as well as give you the flexibility to choose a vehicle that suits your lifestyle. For Hartford customers, you can log in to The Hartford's Online Service Center to:
- Estimate the cost to add Optional Transportation coverage.
- Decide whether the additional coverage best meets your needs.
- Submit a change to increase your coverage for rental car expenses.
When You Need a Rental Car on Vacation
The warmth of the sunshine on your skin, the breeze as it blows through your hair, your grandchild's exuberant laughter. These are the moments you want to remember about your vacation. Then you have those moments of indecision at the rental car counter, when you think to yourself, "What does my auto insurance cover? Do I need the coverage offered by the rental counter?"
4. Does My Car Insurance Cover a Rental Car on Vacation?
Whether the rental car you are driving on vacation is covered by your car insurance policy depends on two key questions: "What type of car insurance coverages are included on your policy?" and "Where are you going on vacation?"
In most cases, you'll need collision coverage–for damage to your vehicle caused by contact with another object–on at least one vehicle on your policy. Also, typically, you'll need to be traveling within the United States, its territories, Puerto Rico or Canada to qualify for rental coverage through your auto policy.
If you meet both of these conditions, comprehensive and collision coverages may be extended to your rental vehicle subject to your deductible. If you have multiple vehicles on your policy with different deductibles, the lower deductible usually applies. Check with your insurance professional to understand your specific policy coverages.
Will your auto policy with The Hartford also cover your rental car on vacation? Let the Rental Car Coverage Calculator help you estimate coverage that might be available to you.
Collision Damage Waiver
It may make sense to reject the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) offered at the rental car counter if you already have coverage. But before you do, you'll want to be aware of a few additional details.
5. Should I Reject the Waiver at the Car Rental Counter?
Even though damage to your rental car may be covered under your auto policy, the rental car company may require payment for those damages at the time you return the vehicle. You should consider whether you can afford such a payment, even in the short term, before you reject the waiver. Ask the rental agent for more details as you may have to pay from $1,000 to the full value of the car if it is damaged.
If you don't have collision coverage on your auto policy, purchasing the collision damage waiver is strongly recommended. You wouldn't want to risk having to pay for a new rental vehicle if the one you're driving is destroyed in an accident.
If you're planning to rent a vehicle while traveling abroad, you can contact the U.S. consulate in advance regarding the particulars of renting a car in the country you're planning to visit. You can also ask the rental car company about coverage options.
6. What Does Suspending Collision Coverage on My Personal Vehicle Have to Do With My Rental Car?
If you're planning to take an extended trip or vacation—more than 30 days—and you're not taking your vehicle with you, you can suspend collision coverage on that vehicle. After all, you're not driving it and comprehensive coverage will cover the non-collision-related damage.
But, let's say you rent a car while on vacation and end up having an accident. Because you suspended your collision coverage, it would no longer extend to your rental car. This means that you would be financially responsible for the damage to your rental car. Depending on the extent of the damage, you might find yourself buying the rental company a brand-new car. Therefore, if you're planning to suspend your collision coverage on your owned vehicle, it is strongly recommended that you purchase the Collision Damage Waiver at the rental counter.
Insurance, as it relates to rental cars, can be complicated. If you have questions, reach out to your agent or insurance carrier for more details.

Okay, before we begin with the article, let's get one thing out of the way: before we start receiving emails from single men in Los Angeles telling us that women are also afraid of commitment, let us say that there is a valid reason why we're writing this blog today. There seems to be an epidemic happening in the dating world day. Too many single men in Los Angeles are afraid of commitment and women want to know why.
Perhaps there is an equal number of women who are afraid of commitment, and men wonder the same. But today, our Los Angeles matchmakers are going to focus on men only. Women today want to get serious and don't want to waste their time with men who aren't ready to do the same.
If you're one of the many single men in Los Angeles who is afraid of giving up his single life, you need to realize the many benefits that come from being in a committed relationship. As the leading matchmaking service in Los Angeles, we can tell you from firsthand experience that a long-term relationship with a great woman will improve your life dramatically. In this helpful dating blog, we're going to show you why being in a committed relationship isn't something to be feared. In fact, it could be the best decision you ever make. After this blog, you'll want to hang up your single hat and find an incredible woman to share your life with.
You'll Expand Your Horizons
When a man gets into a relationship with a woman, he expands his horizons. There are two people with two different stories and two different points of views that come together to form a great relationship. Having a woman in your life will expose you to new things you've never tried before and bring on new and exciting experiences. You might not typically be into winetasting, art galleries, or rock climbing, but having a woman who is into these things will open your eyes to new things. Because of this great woman, you'll be more open to new experiences and you'll want to share yours with her too. It's a win-win.
Her Love Will Boost Your Confidence
There is something about knowing that a gorgeous woman loves you unconditionally. Believe it or not, it's something that boosts your confidence like nothing else can. It doesn't matter how many wild nights you had out on the town, nothing will come close to having an amazing woman by your side. When you find a woman who loves you, flaws and all, you will achieve the highest level of confidence.
You'll Always Have Someone to Talk to in Life
Everyone needs someone to talk to once in a while, even if we don't like to admit it. Sure, you can hang out with your guy friends or family members, but nothing can compare to having a woman to talk to every day, especially when you're feeling down and out. She will be by your side to listen and give you her honest opinion and advice when you need it the most.
Life Becomes More Exciting
Whether it's traveling to Mexico for a romantic getaway, or attending special events with a wonderful woman by your side, your life will be more exciting and fulfilling. Being in a committed relationship will immediately enhance the quality of your life—in a way that no night on the town or casual fling will do.
Someone Loves You Unconditionally
When you're one of the many single men in Los Angeles who is on the hunt, you always have to be on point, so to speak. There is always pressure to look good, present yourself well, and be on your best game, especially when you're meeting new women. Now, of course we always want to continue improving ourselves in life, but when you're in a relationship, you have flexibility and freedom to be who you are. In other words, you don't have to be tiptop every moment of the day because she will accept you for who you are.
You're More Motivated in Life
Sure, being in a committed relationship means she'll love you for who you are, flaws and all, but that does not give you an excuse to stop learning and growing. When you're in a committed relationship, you'll always be motivated to improve yourself. When you have a great woman who looks up to you and encourages you, you'll always want to improve yourself and your life together. Perhaps you'll start eating healthy, working out regularly, watching less TV, and going to church more frequently. When you're single, you don't have anyone to motivate and encourage you to improve your life.
You Learn More About Yourself
Relationships don't just give you the opportunity to learn more about your partner, but they'll help you learn more about yourself too. You might realize that you have some shortcomings that need to be worked on. You might uncover new desires, goals, or challenges that will allow you to grow and become a better man.
You'll Have a Cheerleader by Your Side
Life is known to throw us curveballs, and sometimes it's hard to be positive with all the negativity going on around us. Whether it's personal, professional, or both, it's always good to have a supportive woman by your side who encourages and supports you. The great thing about being in a committed relationship is having a cheerleader for life, someone who will be there during your darkest days. She will be the one carrying the flashlight on those dark days and help you see the pathway to the light.
Plus, the encouragement she gives you will be different from that you receive from friends and family. She knows you well and knows what advice you need, not just what you want to hear. You gain a support system, a teammate, and a loving partner for life.
Being in a committed relationship is one of the best feelings in the world—no night on the town or casual fling can even come close. The feeling of having a great woman by your side doesn't have a price. So are you ready to give up your single days to be in a committed relationship? Let's hope so. As you can tell, a committed relationship is not something you need to shy away from.
For many single men in Los Angeles, being in a committed relationship is the last thing on their mind. But as you can see, being with a woman long-term will improve your quality of life.

Commissioner Bob Martin Joins DEP Staff for Volunteer Day at Liberty Hall Farm at Kean University in Union County
(16/P101) TRENTON –Department of Environmental Protection staff are helping prepare an urban farm for harvest as part of a Volunteer Day effort at Liberty Hall Farm on the campus of Kean University in Elizabeth.
Commissioner Bob Martin, Deputy Commissioner David Glass and other DEP management and staff joined Groundwork Elizabeth's Come Grow With Us! Community Gardening Program today to harvest crops and work the farm.
Liberty Hall Farm provides locally grown produce to nearby urban communities that may lack adequate resources to access healthy fresh fruits and vegetables.
"The Christie Administration recognizes the importance of improving the quality of life in urban communities across New Jersey," Commissioner Martin said. "I am proud of the nearly 60 DEP staff who have volunteered to spend today at Liberty Hall Farm to help fulfill that mission by harvesting locally grown, healthy produce for families, and preparing the farm for the end of the growing season."
The DEP volunteers are helping to weed, harvest, spread compost and perform general winter preparation work. Partners that are participating in the event include the Elizabeth Housing Authority, Elmora Public Library, Groundwork Elizabeth's Green Team, faculty and students from Kean University, and the Elizabeth Board of Education.
Jonathan Phillips, Executive Director for Groundwork Elizabeth, which oversees the Come Grow With Us! program, is overjoyed by the volunteer response
"This is our second successful activity day at the Liberty Hall Farm for volunteers posted by the office of Environmental Justice at DEP," said Jonathan Phillips, Executive Director for Groundwork Elizabeth. "We make them all a promise – they will be put to work, they'll have fun doing it, and they'll be helping our community and our environment."
In April, DEP awarded a $250,000 grant to Groundwork Elizabeth's Come Grow With Us! Community Gardening Program to improve access to healthy foods, develop strategies to build sustainable agricultural systems, develop green-focused career opportunities, as well as quality of life initiatives in socially and economically challenged areas of the City of Elizabeth, Union Township and other urban sections of Union County.
Groundwork Elizabeth is working to achieve those goals through an initiative known as Permaculture Education Agricultural Systems (P.E.A.S.), which is sponsored in part by DEP. The program promotes environmental stewardship, social and cultural revitalization, urban reinvestment and recycling.
Founded in England in 1979, the Groundwork program was formed as an international effort to engage the public sector, private sector and community in addressing challenges in urban communities. The Groundwork Elizabeth program, an outgrowth of this effort, promotes economic and social well-being in the Elizabeth area through a variety of community-based partnerships that empower residents, businesses, educational institutions and other organizations that improve quality of life.

Every local authority must write a Local Offer and publish it on the Internet. A Local Offer is information about what services and support are available for young people with special educational needs or disabilities and their families.
Website design, focus groups for user experience, CSS templates.
The Family Information Services department of Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council wanted their Local Offer to be as inclusive as possible, by providing SEND service information along with other essential family services information for the whole borough.
The website had to appeal to three target groups; young people, parents and carers, and support providers. All of these target visitors had to find the website appealing, easy to navigate and to trust the information provided.
Initial focus groups were held across all three target user groups to establish what they would expect from this website and how they would interact with it. After initial designs were drawn up a second wave of focus groups were held to discuss the designs and proposed structure of the website. Amended designs were then signed off and CSS templates were supplied for the web development stage.

Penn State Football: Joe Paterno to Retire at End of 2011 Season
Penn State coaching legend Joe Paterno announced Wednesday that he will retire at the end of the 2011 football season, the latest fallout from a criminal case against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky and two administrators.
Here is a statement from Paterno released around 10:35 a.m. on Wednesday:
"I am absolutely devastated by the developments in this case. I grieve for the children and their families, and I pray for their comfort and relief.
"I have come to work every day for the last 61 years with one clear goal in mind: To serve the best interests of this university and the young men who have been entrusted to my care. I have the same goal today.
"That's why I have decided to announce my retirement effective at the end of this season. At this moment the Board of Trustees should not spend a single minute discussing my status. They have far more important matters to address. I want to make this as easy for them as I possibly can. This is a tragedy. It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.
"My goals now are to keep my commitments to my players and staff and finish the season with dignity and determination. And then I will spend the rest of my life doing everything I can to help this University."
Paterno, who will turn 85 in December, is in his 46th season as head coach of the Nittany Lions.
This is the latest from the child sex-abuse allegations that have rocked Penn State since last Friday, when news broke that former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was being charged with 40 counts of criminal misconduct.
There have been no announcements as to whether Paterno will be coaching the team when it hosts Nebraska on Saturday at noon in Beaver Stadium. If he does, it will be his record 549th game as a major college head coach. He won his 409th game when the Nittany Lions last played, a 10-7 win over Illinois on Oct. 29; the 409 is a major college football record as well.
It is Penn State's last home game of the 2011 season. The Nittany Lions play at Ohio State on Nov. 19 and at Wisconsin on Nov. 26. There is a possibility that Penn State, 8-1 and ranked No. 12, could play in the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis on Dec. 3, with a bowl game in late December or early January an almost certainty.
On Monday, athletic director Tim Curley and university vice president Gary Schultz were charged with perjury and failure to report, following the Child Protective Services Law. Curley is on paid administrative leave, while Schultz has retired.

The captain watched the mutinous black ship fade on the pale blue horizon. They had left him on a small, lush, volcanic island with a boat, a gun, and several crates that amounted to a few months of provisions. It was a benevolent, generous mutiny; he fervently prayed that none of the mutineers would hang. Now he had nothing but time on his hands, time to spend as he pleased. The excitement was terrifying. It was like vertigo. On the first day, he wept with gratitude. On the second day, he wept for all the past days when he could not weep. On the third day, he wept for sorrow. On the fourth, for all the days he was alone and all that he was not alone. On the fifth, he wept for everything ephemeral and eternal. On the sixth, he wept for beauty and joy. The morning of the seventh day was clear and calm; the captain lit a cigar and went for a long walk on the beach.
** I wrote this for Umberto Eco (1932-2016), who passed away this week. I loved his books from the time I was thirteen. Since the day he passed, I have been reading The Island of the Day Before. I am thankful for his great literary and philosophical gifts to the world. May he rest in peace.

Myfast-search.com virus is introduced as an alternative search engine. It does not cause many suspicions since it is not overcrowded much with advertisements and links to sponsored domains.

"We take what light we can to keep us through the night."
Shortly before she died in 2015, Elizabeth Burns asked two poet-friends to put together the new collection of poems she would not have time to work on herself. Wayleave is proud to be able publish the result: Lightkeepers, edited by Gerrie Fellows and Jane Routh.
Admirers of Elizabeth's writing will recognise Lightkeepers touches on those central themes Elizabeth pursued throughout the whole of her writing life, 'making what was invisible, visible through words and images'. The poems range from delicately poised moments of home life through music and literature and art (particularly of and by women), to historical events and the natural world. Tender and precise, vigorous and lucid, Elizabeth's writing moves confidently into new condensed forms and, ultimately, celebration.
"An exceptionally gifted writer" – The Scotsman
"Elizabeth Burns' work deserves to be read, celebrated and remembered for the intensity of its thought and feeling and its spirituality, which in her later work becomes visionary. She is an exceptional poet." – Myra Schneider
"The overriding sense I have of these poems is as givers and bringers of light … something of her spirit is contained in what she has created." – Richie McCaffery on Clay
"Burns lets her language make connections, lightly and with a sure touch; she delights in movement, the merging of the real and the spiritual, and the visible containing the invisible." D A Prince, The North
"…a fine, meticulously unfussy poet of crystal-clear perceptiveness." Glyn Pursglove, Acumen
"Her last poems are brimful of her characteristically scrupulous compressed lyric composure. In every line she discerns where the spirit visits and is welcomed into ordinary places, a recovery room, a kitchen, an old cupboard." Penelope Shuttle
Designed and typeset by Gerry Cambridge with a cover image by Elizabeth's friend Jane Rushton, Wayleave has published Lightkeepers with a special
thread – sewn binding on Munken 100gsm paper with coloured endpapers.
Listening to Bach's B Minor Mass in the kitchen
Finally, I'm done with the phone calls and everything else
and when I switch on the radio it feels like lying in salt water –
all I need to do is breathe: Bach will keep me afloat.
I'm mixing yeast into flour, making rolls for my daughter's
birthday breakfast in the morning, kneading and kneading
the dough then setting it to rise; arranging in a glass
the last of the tiny pink roses with a sprig of green,
finding the blue candles and ironing the tablecloth,
the one my granny embroidered, sweeping the floor,
thinking about the hot August night of the birth,
and about the people we met on Westray last week,
and the presents I still need to wrap, and Bach himself
who is like a mountain covered in wildflowers,
and the singers in the Albert Hall who, the conductor says,
get close to godliness through this performance;
and I'm wondering, as all those voices fill my kitchen
with the Mass, if this is what he means: the sense
of time and place dissolving, so what divides us
from the past and elsewhere, and from each other,
falls away, and everything's connected and we are all
drops of water in this enormous breaking wave.

Gov. Chris Christie has ridden the Sandy disaster to victory and a second term in the November election and used it to bolster his image as take-charge sort of guy — with a heart of gold — on the national stage. But here in New Jersey, details are beginning to emerge about the Sandy recovery, and they raise questions.
For instance, our investigative story this week reveals that decision-making about Sandy fund allocations is chaotic and error-plagued at best. And the administration has kept a tight lid both on how decisions are made and on what decision have been made.
At a town hall meeting this week, the governor blamed the federal government for the slow pace of Sandy payouts. What's your opinion?
