Four backers have given $385 of the $7700 Taylor Neilson is seeking to finance the marketing of his new clothing concept, a shirt with the hidden pocket, by Nov. 03, 2016.
"Our passion is to make fashion forward clothes that are ready for any travel adventure – business or pleasure," Neilson said.
Neilson collaborated with clothing veteran Evan Glassman in his small business, T. Neils Clothing, based in Salt Lake City.
"Glassman brings over 25 years of multidisciplinary design to our table, with a multitude of completed projects in fine and applied arts," Neilson said.
The hidden pocket in the new company's start-up product, "The Traveller," is set in the seam on the right side. The idea includes a concealed zipper that allows the wearer to hide small articles in the pocket. According to Neilson the hidden pocket is meant to conceal small items like cash and a passport that can be easily accessible yet safe from theft or accident loss.
"Whether we are closing the deal abroad or exploring a new city, we need a shirt that looks good, performs well but also keeps safe that which is important to us," Neilson stated. "It's the little details that make all the difference and that is what our brand is all about. We make the small changes that make a big impact and this shirt is only the beginning for us."
T. Neil Clothing's Kickstarter campaign includes several levels of donations with rewards from $5 to $250. Pledges $45 and above come with at least one of the company's shirts, and more at higher levels.
The fabric is in stock. When the Kickstarter funding is fulfilled addresses and sizing will be taken and manufacture will begin.
"Taylor has also taken a keen interest in clothing and men's fashion, and been focused on the sweet spot of where fashion and style intersect with clothing that wears and functions well as active wear," Glassman stated. "We started with white because everyone needs a good basic shirt – one that they can count on."
Taylor Neilson is a Bio-engineering student at the University of Utah.
Glassman setup his design shop in Salt Lake City in 2015, after moving from Santa Fe NM. His past clients have included the Chicago Cubs, Rockwell Group, Chicago Transit Authority, and numerous other public and private people and organizations.
Neilson and Glassman, with other talent on their team in SLC, set up T Neils Clothing. The company has positioned itself to bring clients clothing that they love to wear, and that serves them well, while looking great, according to Glassman.
"We needed something better than an average travel shirt, so we found one of the best manufacturers that works with the big brands like Tommy Hilfiger to bring you a fashionable product that has more function to it than other shirts," Glassman stated.
Go to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1750486752/tneils-hidden-pocket-shirt?ref=PatronPress.com to make a pledge or for more information.
Kickstarter has served as an online platform since 2009 for people who want to promote and raise start-up capital for their creative ideas.

DJ Dates : Vibration Revival Party, Schmidts – 28th November 2009
I'll be "back once again with the renegade master" at Schmidt's in Wiesloch for another of their fabulous Vibration Revival parties. I can't believe it's been 15 years since I started DJing at Vibration! Expect plenty of old school tunes, scratching and Jaegermeister! All of my old records are finally out of storage so I'm going to try and find some old obscure tracks for you. Anything from hip-hop, acid house, breakbeat and banging house tunes. It's going to be awesome! Make sure you get there early as the parties are normally packed! The address is:
Ringstraße 6
69168 Wiesloch
Deutschland / Germany
The support DJs are the "Vibration Allstars" and I don't know who they are yet but I'm sure we'll have a blast together. See you all there!
And sorry for the late posting about this party but life has been a bit busy with the birth of my second child, a little girl called Amy! 🙂

When you are all loved up in the midst of pregnancy you don't ever dream that when you become a mum that your greatest wish will be to have a full nights sleep do you???
Little miss P was such a great sleeper, she would get tucked up in her bed and drift off for the night* and my little Sunshine is a great sleeper now but he wasn't always. He was pretty terrible when he first entered the world; up every hour during the night to feed and cuddle, then as he grew he was so hungry all the time he was still up to feed and cuddle. He has always been a wriggle pot so we have never been able to use any blankets in his bed in the fear of him suffocating himself so it has always been about the love me up swaddles and now sleeping bags. This winter has been super cold and our house has absolutely no insulation so you can imagine how freezing it is in here, heaters don't even have a chance at warming up a room so we had to find a comfy, cosy and warm sleeping bag for our Sunny to keep him snug but also keep him really toasty so he wouldn't wake up from the chill in the air. The 2.5 Tog Inventa Sleeping bag has been an absolute winner! On nights that our little guy is using something else due to this beauty being in the wash, he wakes at least once. I have secretly named this sleeping bag the sleep machine, it has made it onto my mummy-must-have list for all mums that want their babes to sleep sleep, sleep, sleep! Whats cool to is that is it grows with your child so you get more bang for your buck. I love it!
Features of the Love to Dream INVENTA Sleep Bag – 2.5 Tog:
- Hypo-allergenic
- 100% natural bamboo fill
- 100% cotton lining is brushed for a cosy feel
- Ergonomic Design, soft stretch fabric for increased comfort
- Longa ShortaTM length feature
Be sure to check out the Love to Dream website, I am such a huge fan of everything thats there!
*Shes not like that now though!
* Disclaimer: I was gifted this product for my little guy to trial but I loved it so much I really wanted to share it with you. All words and comments are my own true opinion.

Indonesia jails Polish tourist who met Papuan activists
A Polish tourist has been sentenced to five years prison in Indonesia for treason after meeting with Papuan independence supporters
JAKARTA, Indonesia -- A Polish tourist who was sentenced Thursday to five years in prison in Indonesia for treason after meeting with Papuan independence supporters has denied any wrongdoing and said he was the victim of a show trial.
Jakub Skrzypski was arrested in Wamena in the easternmost Papua region in August and accused of plotting against the Indonesian state. He said he will appeal the verdict.
One of his lawyers, Latifah Anum Siregar, said Papuan student Simon Magal, who met Skrzypski and communicated with him on Facebook, was sentenced by the same court Thursday to four years in prison.
The case has highlighted Indonesia's sensitivity about the volatile Papua region, where the indigenous Melanesian people oppose Indonesian rule and an insurgency has simmered for decades. The government restricts foreign journalists from reporting in its Papua and West Papua provinces.
Friends of Skrzypski, who lived in Switzerland, have said he's an avid traveler with a fascination for other cultures who unwittingly got embroiled in Indonesian politics.
In a handwritten note sent to The Associated Press before the sentencing, Skrzypski said his arrest and prosecution was "a purely political case, a trial staged for propaganda reasons."
Police initially accused him of trying to organize an arms deal but it became clear that Skryzpski, who worked in a factory near Lausanne, did not have means to do that. The accusation did not become part of the case against him.
The Papuan independence cause has recently received renewed international attention and diplomatic support from sympathetic Pacific island nations. Indonesia says its sovereignty over Papua is non-negotiable and internationally recognized. The police and military have intensified a crackdown on peaceful activists following a spike in attacks by independence fighters, including a December attack that killed 19 Indonesians.
In January, the exiled leader of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua, Benny Wenda, presented a petition signed by 1.8 million Papuans to the U.N. Human Rights chief calling for a referendum on Papuan self-determination. Lawyers, meanwhile, have launched a challenge to the constitutionality of Indonesia's incorporation of Papua into its territory in 1969 in the country's highest court.
Skrzypski said it was unjust that his trial had taken place in remote Wamena, making it difficult for his lawyers to represent him adequately.
He compared his case to two French journalists who were arrested in Wamena in 2014 after entering the region on tourist visas to report on independence fighters. Their trial took place in Jayapura, the capital of Papua province, and they were sentenced to 2 1/2 months in prison.
Polish Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Ewa Suwara said Poland's consul in Indonesia has been in touch with Skrzypski regularly and that every effort is being made to help him. She said Polish Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz has raised the case with his Indonesian counterpart.
Skrzypski, who had traveled to Indonesia previously, said he has friends in the country who sympathize with him but are afraid to show their support.
"They don't dare to voice it, to speak up. They are afraid of troubles that they think the police and prosecutors may cause them. Same applies to my potential witnesses," he said.

Tires. What would we do without them for our transportation needs? But, many people seem to not pay enough attention to them, which could be a safety hazard. So, what should we be looking for when we look at our own tires?
Steve, owner of Gerbig's Osage Auto Service, says, "In addition to looking at the inflation of tires, look for low-tread or cracking between the tread blocks."
So, how do you know that your tread is low?
He says, "You need to have at a minimum 3/32 of an inch of tread."
Anything else that we should be looking for?
Steve says, "Also, you should look for cuts, scrapes or abrasions on the side walls."
If you are needing some tires, Gerbig's Osage Auto Service has a good supply of new or used tires to fit anyone's price range. But, whereever you are…don't neglect your safety and invest in some new tires if you see any of these signs.

The final day of my first bike tour! It was an early morning start. We (my husband) wanted to finish and be out of Pittsburgh as quickly as possible. I would have preferred a much slower amble but oh well. We were awake at 530am, out of the hotel by 630am, and a meandering way back to Smithton.
Back to Smithton
I was set for these last miles to Pittsburgh. I chucked everything out of the pannier except the bike repair kit and food. No need to carry the lock or dry shirt, I was going to the end.
It was another very overcast early morning but still hot and humid.
Acid Waterfall
One of the iconic views on this section of the Great Allegheny Trail is the acid water waterfall, which is acid mine drainage from an old coal mine. The water here is acid and iron-rich, coming up to the surface from underground mines, staining the rocks rust-red. Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major source of water pollution and the cause of extensive stream degradation
and environmental damage.
Road? What road section?
I leave the little Boston Trail head area, the trail winds downhill…onto a road. With no markers. I don't remember reading about a road section…I can see a bike tire in a mud puddle, so I go in that direction. I finally see cyclists in the distance and then there is an actual official GAP mile marker, I'm still on the correct trail!
Riding in the City
I got off trail right thru McKeesport, but two nice runners pointed out the trail to me, it was parallel to the road I was biking.This little fortress is a hostel in McKeesport. I'm not sure if I would want to stop in McKeesport at night, but if your biking plans leave you no choice there is this hostel available.
I biked through the areas of Duquesne, The Waterfront and Homestead. The signage is not great here, in fact I asked another biker if I was still on the GAP Trail.
My Friend Cam
My friend Cam lives in the Pittsburgh area. I was just starting across the Hot Metal Bridge when he showed up to bike the final miles with me. Not only did we bike across the Hot Metal Bridge, we crossed back over the river to go through the South Side and cross again, this time on the Fort Pitt Bridge!
Meanwhile, my poor husband was wondering where I was..
Final Miles
Cam helped me get the bike up for the "money shot".
My husband Dennis who deserves much credit being my "batman". He picked me up at the trail
head and then delivered me back to the trail head in the morning. Since he came along, there was somewhere to sleep every night and air conditioning and showers!
Sock monkey and my bike. A successful journey on a bike. The first time I had done sustained activity, day after day. It was a very cool ride and I am glad to say this first bike tour will not be my last one!

MicroSolar 12V 3000W (Peak 6000W) Pure Sine Wave Inverter – with Remote Wire Controller
12V DC Input, 120V AC Output. Conversion efficiency: 90%
3 months free replacement and 1 year's warranty.
With Remote Wire Controller. With 1 Sets 2AWG 2 Foot (60 cm) Battery Cable
$1,000.00 (as of July 10, 2018, 3:37 pm)
- Description
- Amazon Customer Reviews
-We supply 6 month's free replacement and 1 year warranty.
Some appliances, particularly those with electric motors, require a very high Starting Surge Power of around 5 to 8 times the Running Power for the initial start up.
Pumps, air conditioner, microwave, laser printer, washing machine, refrigerators (compressors), are the most common example.
##The surge power of such appliance must not exceed the peak power of this inverter (4000W).
DC 12v system
Input under voltage protection: 10V
Input under voltage activation: 10.6V
Input over voltage protection: 16V
Conversion efficiency: 90%
Note: Induction motors such as air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, microwave ovens, and pumps may have a start up surge of 3 to 7 times the continuous rating. Heat generating appliances such as hair dryers and water heaters will have high peak surges as well.
Example: If the microwave oven has peak surge which is 4 times the continuous wattage, the 1200 Watt continuous microwave ovens will have 4 x 1200 Watts = 4800 Watts peak surge. The recommended inverter to run 1200 Watt continuous and 4800 Watt peak surge microwave is 2500/5000 Watt inverter or larger. In general, induction motors require an initial surge of power to start up ("starting load" or "peak load"). Once started, the tool or appliance requires less power to continue to operate ("continuous load")
A laser printer generally requires a pure sine wave inverter capable of surging at least 6.5 times the maximum wattage rating of the printer. For instance, a laser printer rated at 500 watts requires an inverter with a surge rating of at least 3,250 watts.

World Wide SketchCrawl 18 is set !!
Mark your calendars, call your "pencil friends", come by the forums 'cause March 29th is set for the 18th World Wide SketchCrawl !!! This is gonna be a big one, don't miss it. 🙂
9 Comments
Lee-Roy says:
Wow! I can't believe a date was set so quickly! That's great, Enrico! I'm usually chomping at the bit for the next one as soon as I've finished a crawl, so this will give me something to look forward to.
Nate says:
The last sketchcrawl was my first. It was such a great catalyst for me. My new waterbrush and I have been getting acquainted an we're looking forward to the 29th.
Jyreme says:
I'm organizing a sketchcrawl for Savannah Ga since SCAD students love art lol!!! Plus no one 's done it that i know of and I think it could be big!!!!
Ian says:
Wow. I just found out about this (SketchCrawl) and I am super jazzed… I have not gone out sketching for a few years (since I graduated in 2002) and I can't wait to get back into it. this may really help get me out of my creativity rut. Thanks so much Enrico.
steve bedser says:
Hello! Well the blogs for sketchCrawl have inspired me to get out there and sketch/paint everything! Hoping to get together a small band to sketchCrawl somewhere in Cornwall, UK 😀
lapin says:
I'll be please to participate – I like your Idea – quite close of my everyday sketch I publish on my blog – Let's have a look : http://les-calepins-de-lapin.blogspot.com/
See U, best, lapin (french illustrator in Barcelona)
Patrick says:
At what time does the sketch crawl start in san Francisco?
Can't seem to find this information on the site….
Nicola Abraham says:
An artist friend sent me the information on SketchCrawl on Monday, and it looks as though at least a couple of us will be going out on Saturday here in Toronto, Ontario (Canada) for the 18th SketchCrawl. It's a great idea and potentially a great local community-builder as well as a global community-builder. I'm not too handy with all the computer aspects but I'm sure someone in the community will surface who can help with it in future. So far I've forwarded the email to about 25 Toronto artists. It was very short notice for the upcoming event, but we may have 2 or 3 people from the Wednesday night life-drawing group that I run, as well as any others who show up from the email invitation. We'll be drawing around the St. Clair Ave. — Bathurst St. area, and using VitaBrevis studio/gallery, at 50 Vaughan Road, as a "home base" for the day.

Trailer For Tom Hardy's New Series Unveiled, And It Looks Awesome
The trailer for Tom Hardy's latest TV project – FX series Taboo – has just been released – and it looks like it could be a winner.
The series – set in London in 1814 – sees Hardy's character, James Keziah Delaney ride the line between London gentleman and savage when he returns to London after ten years missing in Africa, reports Business Insider.
Believed to be dead by those who knew him, Delaney is forced to defend his father's legacy against his enemies and as a result finds himself in a face-off against the world's most powerful trading firm at the time, the East India Company.
Hardy, who is both star and executive-producer of the series (alongside no less than Ridley Scott) is currently in the running for the 'Best Supporting Actor' at the Oscars for his role with Leonardo Dicaprio in The Revenant.
The series boasts a number of performances from other high profile actors including Michael Kelly (House of Cards), Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean), and Oona Chaplin (The Hour).
Perhaps most excitingly, Taboo will mark another venture into a British period setting for Steven Knight, the man behind popular BBC series Peaky Blinders and the show looks set to debut some time in 2017.
We're looking forward to this one.

A multicloud is an IT infrastructure deployment strategy relying on several cloud providers and platforms but without a link to one service provider. There are several reasons for businesses to choose multicloud. The main reason is that they can preserve their technological and financial independence from the provider, increase the IT system accessibility thanks to increasing fault tolerance, and select specific cloud offers to meet their specific tasks. Sergei Samoukin, Head of the Cloud Solutions Division of the Cloud Technology Department at Softline, presents our portfolio of in-house and partner multicloud services and explains how Softline implements its multicloud strategy.
Why did Softline decide to develop multicloud services?
From its early years on, Softline has always been a multivendor company. We sell software and hardware from different vendors, and we excel at it! The multicloud strategy of Softline has many years of history. In fact, at the very moment when our company entered the cloud market, our cloud service development strategy had been based on a multivendor approach. Over five years ago, we started selling cloud services such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Azure, IBM.
What is the principle of Softline cloud strategy?
We develop a branded solution portfolio and offer solutions from our partners: Azure, Amazon, IBM, Softlayer, Google. One might ask why do we need such a big vendor pool. The answer is simple: we want to satisfy the requirements of any customer. For example, if the customer finds a service of one vendor unsuitable, we offer a service from another vendor or a branded cloud. The main benefit here is interchangeability. It is possible to draw an analogy with cloud business: why do touristic agencies work with many different operators? To meet the demand and be more flexible.
What branded multicloud services does our company have now?
We offer vendor clouds and in-house solutions. A vendor cloud on a VMware platform has been hosted in 7 data centers from 6 cities of Russia: Moscow (2 sites), Saint Petersburg, Samara, Rostov-on-Don, Ekaterinburg, and Novosibirsk. We have 7 independent clouds which can be combined in different ways to meet the customer's tasks. We also have a branded cloud powered by Hyper-V 2016 and ready-to-use tools for private cloud deployment (hybrid solutions: private + public clouds).
What partner solutions does Softline offer?
We offer the following IaaS solutions from our partners: a partner's Open Stack hosted in Moscow, a partner's Open Stack hosted in Europe, a VMware stack in Europe, private clouds in Europe, Microsoft Azure, AWS, IBM, Google. All these services are unrelated to each other, and the only thing that unites them is that they can be purchased from Softline.
How do you plan to develop your multicloud strategy? What is the strategic goal of Softline?
Our priorities are the development of existing services and the creation of new ones, for example, building S3-compatible storages. We will develop an in-house platform, proactively monitor the market, and improve the expertise on these lines of business. Our company strives to create a single control panel for all our solutions that will increase the decision-making speed for our customers. The customers will be able to solve many tasks without our assistance from a portal that works as a one-stop shop.

BRYAN, Tex. (seminoles.com) –
Florida State University sophomore Jessica Negron shot a five over par 77 and is in a tie for 64th place in the individual standings with one round remaining to be played in the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship finals at the Traditions Club. Play in the event was suspended because of darkness as the field of players was taken off of the course earlier in the day because of a 1:50 weather delay for lightning.
A total of six teams were not able to fully complete their rounds; those six teams will complete their play in the third round on Saturday morning before the fourth and final round begins. Negron had completed her third round play and was unaffected by the suspension in play. Negron's starting time on Saturday morning will be pushed back to accommodate the teams that have to finish play in the third round.
Negron started her third round of play on the back nine of the course for the second consecutive day and showed that she had learned from her missteps in the second round. She earned par scores on her first three holes of the round – holes in which she earned a double bogey and two bogeys on in the second rounds. Negron was even par on six of her first nine holes of the round and was three over as she made the turn to the front nine.
Negron continued to display her desire to improve on her first hole on the front nine as she was even on the par four hole No. 1. She suffered an unfortunate triple bogey during the second round on that hole. She finished the round with one par and four holes of par and closed her day with a score of 77.
"I feel like I am hitting the ball off the tee pretty well – it's my putting that is setting me back," said Negron. This is a very challenging course that is very unforgiving. I just have to concentrate on every shot, hit the greens and stay out of the bunkers. I'm looking forward to having another shot at the course tomorrow and then becoming a better golfer in the future when I can go back and really analyze and learn from the experiences I have had this week."
Negron has a three round total of 12 over par 228. Her 54 hole total of 228 is ties for her third best of the spring as she embarks on her first four round tournament of the year. Negron is playing in her second career collegiate four round tournament – she finished in a tie for 21st place at the NCAA Division I Championship finals last year as a freshman. She had a total of 216 after three rounds last year.
Negron is one of six individuals competing along with 24 teams in this year's national championship finals. UCLA holds the team lead as they look to dethrone Purdue after the Boilermakers won the 2010 national championship. The Bruins lead Purdue by six strokes heading into the completion of the third round and play in the final round. Tiffany Lua holds the individual lead – she still has four holes to play to complete the third round.
"Jessica is playing well," said head coach Amy Bond. "She's not missing very often and when she is missing she is missing by just inches. She is also learning a lot by playing this course – it's one of the top two of three collegiate courses she will play during her career as a Seminole. She is learning to stay out of bunkers and is having a really good experience. This experience is going to make her a better golfer and that is great for her maturation as a golfer.

A selection of larger sized pieces of some of the tastiest artisan cheeses from England.
A delicious selection of English cheeses; featuring a hard, soft, blue and goats' milk cheese. A delicious, artisanal cheese course with larger cuts of cheese to serve 14-18 people - or serve fewer people with plenty of leftovers to keep & enjoy.
This cheese board selection contains:
Montgomery's Cheddar 500g (Unpasteurised Cows' Milk, Traditional). Cheesemaking at the Montgomery's farm in North Cadbury, near Yeovil, is one of the very few remaining examples of how Cheddar was made in the 19th century. You should find the cheese to be full flavoured, and at 18 months of age or thereabouts, to have developed a depth and complexity of flavour which has few rivals. There are variations of taste from one day's production to the next depending mainly on the pastures the cows have been grazing and the starter culture used.
Stichelton 500g (Unpasteurised Cows' Milk, Traditional). Joe Schneider makes this cheese on the impressive Welbeck Estate in Nottinghamshire to a recipe similar to Stilton, although it cannot use this name due to being made with unpasteurised milk. The flavour is immensely buttery with a nutty mellowness. This is due, amongst other things, to the high quality of the milk which comes from an organic farm on the same estate.
Aldwych Goat 215g (Thermised Goats' Milk, Vegetarian). A firm textured goats' milk log with a characterful flavour. Perfect for cooking as well as enjoying as part of a cheese board. Made by Pete Humphries of Whitelake Cheese in Somerset.
Tunworth 250g (Pasteurised Cows' Milk, Traditional). A hand ladled, soft and creamy cows milk cheese from Hampshire with a distinct nutty, mushroomy flavour.
Sparkenhoe Red Leicester 500g (Unpasteurised Cows' Milk, Traditional). The only traditional farmhouse Red Leicester made in Leicestershire. An attractive orange coloured cheese with complex nutty flavours.
The Essentially English Cut Cheese Collection fits in a Medium Gift box. Purchase the board and knives separately to complete the look.

It seems like everyone and their mother is trying to rent in Dublin at the minute.
Between constantly refreshing Daft and endless open viewings, it's a frustrating experience that can seem never-ending.
Any 3 bed gaffs/rooms going? 3 sound homeless gals who love Prosecco need a forever home in Dublin city centre/north side x RT pls
— Fionnuala (@FionnualaJay) August 27, 2016
We here at Lovin Dublin want to help you achieve your rental dreams, so we've compiled a list of things that landlords typically look for from tenants.
1. Previous landlord references
This is a fairly standard requests from landlords/agents - just to make sure you're not going to be throwing any Project X-esque major ragers.
2. Work reference
Again, standard enough. Gotta make sure you can afford that ridiculously overpriced rent.
3. A deposit
Expect this to be somewhere between €600 and €75,000, no matter where you're renting.
4. 'The password'
Try saying 'alakazam', 'password' or 'password123' to the landlord when you meet them initially.
5. The seven Horcruxes
Wait, what?
6. A month's rent up front
This always looks better presented in a nice, crisp envelope.
7. Three drops of water from the Fountain of Youth
It's just as well, because by the time you find somewhere to rent, you will have aged significantly.
8. The blood of your first born
9. That really nice top you lost ages ago that you only got to wear once
It's imperative that you bring this, otherwise you can kiss that extortionately priced two-bed in Ranelagh goodbye.
10. The Beatles 'White' album on vinyl, signed by Paul McCartney
11. A photograph of you looking very happy next to a house
This stands as the ultimate proof that you are the model tenant.
12. A bank statement
Landlords occasionally ask for these to make sure you'll pay your rent on time and that you're not spending €45 a week on Pokémon GO.
13. The trophy from the Credit Union quiz you won in 5th Class
Everyone knows that anoraks make the best tenants.
14. A blessing from the bishop of your diocese
Fun fact: tenants LOVE renting to servants of God. It goes without saying that the Pope's word would be best, but some landlords would also be willing to settle for your local parish priest.
15. ... And your PPS number, of course
Now you're all set to take on the big bad world of renting! Happy house hunting!

CENTRAL CITY, Neb. – A south-central Nebraska school principal has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.
Authorities say Lee Wolfe's blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit after he was stopped around 7 p.m. Sunday on U.S. Highway 30 in Central City. An officer pulled him over because of expired license plates.
Central City Police Chief Mark Hogue says Wolfe's son was with him. Wolfe was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence with a passenger under 16 and for having expired plates.
Wolfe is principal at Shoemaker Elementary in Grand Island. He says in a statement that he feels "terrible about how this reflects upon Shoemaker, Grand Island Public Schools, myself and my family."
Wolfe and a district representative didn't immediately return messages Thursday from The Associated Press.

In full: How GPs will be given their Ofsted-style ratings
The CQC has issued its handbook for GP providers to understand the inspection process and how it will award Ofsted-style ratings, which all practices inspected from October must publish on their website and in their waiting rooms.
How practices will be given their ratings
- Practices will be given an Ofsted-style rating of either outstanding, good, needs improvement, inadequate for a total of 42 ratings which will have to be displayed in the practices and on the website alongside their final score.
- Inspection teams will have to answer questions along 'key lines of enquiry' to answer five 'fundamental questions' of whether the practice is safe, well led, responsive, caring and effective.
- Practices will also have to answer these questions in the care of six key patient groups including older people, people with long term conditions and people with poor mental health (including dementia).
- The scores on the five questions and six population groups will then be aggregated, and practices will 'normally' receive an aggregate outstanding rating if they score outstanding on two or more categories.
- But they will 'normally' be limited to 'requires improvement' where they have one rating of requires improvement or inadequate where they have been found inadequate in two categories.
- These aggregate scores will then be combined to give the final rating.
Read the full handbook here.
Read the appendix explaining how ratings are calculated and aggregated here.
Readers' comments (2)
Ratings are based on the practice performance.
GP-practices have always been regulated- we have had
traffic-light systems in operations where by PCTs conducted Qof-regulated visits on Annual Basis.
I feel "one should NOT be Alarmed" instead just look at what outcomes were and adopt to new changes
2014-15. Please Primary Care there is "Good and excellent Practices across the country" so do not take it negative approach instead take it as a challenge and say fine we want to be "KiteMarked" and have Gold Stars too!!!

Hezemans Indoor Karting in Holland has re-invested back into its busy kart circuit this year with a new track and new adult and junior electric go-karts!
As part of a €1 million project which took two months to bring into fruition, owner Mike Hezemans chose to stay with BIZ Karts, this time making the switch from LPG to electric with the purchase of 28 adult and 8 Junior EcoVolt NG karts. Plus, new solar panels on the roof generate enough energy to recharge the karts throughout the day, making the circuit energy-neutral. Of the karts, Mike Hezemans said "we could not afford to be behind in an innovative city like Eindhoven. Electric driving is the future". The karts are, of course, top spec, featuring custom graphics kit, three kart speeds as well as the relevant safety features including roll bar and harness.
Got a minute to spare? This promotional video below, created by Hezemans Indoor Karting, is an absolute must-watch!

If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, the bankruptcy cost is no doubt a very important consideration. After all, if you had unlimited funds, you wouldn't be filing for bankruptcy, right? We understand that, and our goal is to provide you with the best legal services in the most cost-efficient manner. There are several costs when it comes to bankruptcy. Some of these are fixed. These include the court filing fee (currently $335 for Chapter 7, $310 for Chapter 13, and $1,717 for Chapter 11) and a credit report ($40 per person, needed only for personal/individual bankruptcies). If you are an individual, you will also need to do credit counseling before and after filing for bankruptcy ($15-35 per session, depending on which credit counseling company you choose). Lastly, of course, there is our attorney fee, which covers consulting you on all aspects of the bankruptcy process, preparing all bankruptcy documents, and representing you during the bankruptcy process.
Bankruptcy Cost is Dependent on the Kind of Bankruptcy
We handle cases on both a flat fee and an hourly fee basis. If you are doing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, your case will almost always be on an hourly fee basis at the then-current rates. Chapter 11 cases are generally too complex to allow for a flat fee structure. However, we will provide you with an estimate of the anticipated cost of your chapter 11 case.
All Chapter 7 bankruptcies, and almost all Chapter 13 bankruptcies, are handled on a flat fee basis. This gives you the benefit of knowing in advance exactly what the cost of the bankruptcy will be. Unlike the so-called "bankruptcy mills," which you may see advertising a "flat Chapter 7 fee," we do not charge a single rate for all cases. The reason for this is simple. Each case is different and presents circumstances that may require more or less work on our part. For example, some clients have little debt, while others have dozens of creditors and hundreds of thousands in debt; some have a modest income, while others may have above-median income requiring additional means-testing to qualify for bankruptcy; some may have car loans that they need to reaffirm, while others may not. Each of these factors will affect the amount of work needed to provide you with quality legal services. It would be unfair to you to charge the same rate regardless of whether your case was simple or complex. If a firm charges the same rate for all cases, inevitably, you will either be overpaying for what you need, or will not be receiving the services that you really need. To see why that is, ask yourself the following:
Would you expect a car mechanic to advertise a single price for any car repair? Of course not. In fact, if you were to see such an advertisement, you would be very suspicious of that mechanic, and rightfully so. Legal services are no different. While there may be general similarities between Chapter 7 bankruptcies, for example, no two cases are alike, and each requires an individualized approach. And the consequences of inadequate legal representation are much more serious. A botched car repair will leave you, at worst, with an inoperable car. An improperly done bankruptcy can have much more serious consequences, including loss of assets, denial of your discharge, and, in the worst cases, criminal prosecution.
Because each client's case is unique, you deserve that your case be treated with the utmost attention. For this reason, we provide a free consultation. The consultation allows us to review your financial situation in detail, and to discuss any issues that may be of particular concern to you. Based on the information we obtain during this free consultation, we will provide you with the cost of representing you in your case, in a manner that gives individualized attention to your circumstances and that maximizes the benefits of bankruptcy to you. There is no obligation on your part to retain us after the consultation. Our approach may be more time-consuming than simply quoting a standard fee, but we believe it is the only way to provide you with the kind of service, and the fresh start, that you deserve.
We understand that bankruptcy is often a difficult decision, and you need to both be comfortable with the attorney, and have an affordable way to pay for the bankruptcy. For this reason, we provide several benefits and assurances:
Money back guarantee: This applies to Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases. If the court does not accept your bankruptcy petition because of an error on our part, we will refund the entire attorney fee that you paid to us.
Payment plans: For both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 clients, we offer payment plans to make the payment of fees more affordable.
$0 down: For qualifying Chapter 13 cases, we provide a $0 down option, which allows you to pay our fees after the bankruptcy is filed. Please note that this does not include the cost of the filing fee, credit report, and credit counseling, which will need to be paid before filing.

A Brief History of Royal Weddings
When I turned on the television this morning, all I could find was coverage of the Royal Wedding and the NFL Draft. I can't make much of a connection to the NFL Draft and the classroom, but there is a potential connection for the Royal Wedding and a history classroom. The video below features Emory University historian Patrick Allitt giving a two minute overview of the history and purposes of Royal Weddings.

Beyond: The Beginning w/ Ari McKay
August 1, 2017
Hello, everyone!!!! Ari here, and McKay and I are so excited about today, because it is the release of our latest story, Out of the Ashes. This book is incredibly special to us, not just because of it's an urban fantasy, but because it is the first book in the new Dreamspun Beyond house line for Dreamspinner Press. To say that we were honored and thrilled to be selected as the lead-off story for the new line is an understatement — both McKay and I felt as though Dreamspinner had handed us the best gift a writer could ever receive!
As most everyone who has read our stories knows, McKay and I are southern girls with a love of setting our tales in the areas we are most familiar with. We both adore the Asheville region, and because it is an area which is both very liberal and friendly to the arts, we thought it would be a fantastic setting for our story. We'd previously written about paranormals in that area, and so we began to build an entire world of supernaturals who live among and yet separate from their human neighbors. We came up with the idea for a Council who acts as informal oversight for the issues the supernatural beings face in being part of a very modern, human world, and like most bureaucracies, we imagined them getting a little… well, hidebound over time. Which is why, as our story opens, both Arden Gilmarin, a half-elf and member of the Council, and Eli Hammond, an alpha werewolf who comes to ask for help, have reason for frustration.
Fortunately for Eli, Arden doesn't always play by the rules, and has no problem offering his assistance, and that of his friends, to help Eli find out what horror could have left five members of his pack dead and have kidnapped the rest. But Fate is working in very strange ways, as Eli discovers that Arden is his destined mate. Talk about bad timing! Not only is Arden a different species, he looks small and delicate and backwoods Eli thinks of him as a city boy. But even if Arden had been a shapeshifter, Eli's mind isn't on romance, and he feels as though Fate is playing a very bad joke on him.
Well, no one ever said that the road to true love, or the path of fated mates, was going to be easy! But they quickly learn that destiny has brought them together for a reason, and that more hangs in the balance than their lives, or the lives of Eli's pack. They have to learn to appreciate their different strengths and abilities, and learn to trust one another if they're going to have any hope of saving themselves and everyone they care about from the danger that's coming.
This first story sets up a conflict that will carry through two more books, and McKay and I are thrilled that we've been able to work in actual folklore and mythology from the Asheville region. In particular, there are Native American legends about the mountains and the forests in the area which we've woven into our tales, and Arden's best friend, Whimsy, is a half-Cherokee mage who will get his own story next.
We hope you'll enjoy reading this story as much as we enjoyed writing it! And since we still have two more stories in Asheville Arcana to go, we want to hear from you! Please comment below and tell us what types of supernatural creatures you enjoy most — we'd love to be able to give cameos to more of your favorites!
Check out Out of the Ashes today!

In their differences, they'll find strength—and love.
Alpha werewolf Eli Hammond returns from a fishing trip to discover a nasty surprise—five members of his pack murdered and the rest missing. He needs help locating and rescuing his pack mates, but the supernatural council in Asheville, North Carolina, turns him away.
Except for one man.
As they work together, Eli is stunned—and not especially thrilled—to discover half-elf Arden Gilmarin is his destined mate. But as Arden and his friends struggle to help Eli in his quest, Eli surrenders to the demands of his body—and his heart. They'll need to bond together, because the forces opposing them are stronger and more sinister than anyone predicted. The evil has its sights set on Arden, and if Eli wants to save his mate and the people he is entrusted with protecting, he's in for the fight of his life.
Author Bio:
Ari McKay is the professional pseudonym for Arionrhod and McKay, who have been writing together for over a decade. Their collaborations encompass a wide variety of romance genres, including contemporary, fantasy, science fiction, gothic, and action/adventure. Their work includes the Blood Bathory series of paranormal novels, the Herc's Mercs series, as well as two historical Westerns: Heart of Stone and Finding Forgiveness. When not writing, they can often be found scheming over costume designs or binge watching TV shows together.
Arionrhod is a systems engineer by day who is eagerly looking forward to (hopefully) becoming a full time writer in the not-too-distant future. Now that she is an empty-nester, she has turned her attentions to finding the perfect piece of land to build a fortress in preparation for the zombie apocalypse, and baking (and eating) far too many cakes.
McKay is an English teacher who has been writing for one reason or another most of her life. She also enjoys knitting, reading, cooking, and playing video games. She has been known to knit in public. Given she has the survival skills of a gnat, she's relying on Arionrhod to help her survive the zombie apocalypse.

Celebrating life is what we do best here at The Covering House. We find every opportunity to show each girl how worthy she is of love and respect.
We celebrate the moment they walk in the door with a huge Welcome Home sign that hangs on the front porch. She is then shown to her bedroom where she finds a welcome home basket on her bed. The basket will have towels and washcloths of her very own, along with personal items and a note.
We celebrate birthdays. Each girl gets to pick where she wants to celebrate her birthday…sometimes it is roller skating…sometimes it is at the park…sometimes it is eating mediocre pizza and playing token games at Chuck E. Cheese's.
Our Cover Care Program that the girls walk through for a year is built around change from the inside out and not a behavior modification program. We recognize that the outburst of anger or the attitude of disrespect often stems from more than just "normal" teenage angst. We dig deeper than the outward behavior to understand the depth of the trauma leading to the inappropriate behavior. The root cause is the issue…not the behavior. Our girls walk through 5 Phases of Recovery.
The Beginning: the first month allows the girl to adjust to therapy, establish physical safety, and set basic goals.
The Journey: helps her define safety and identify safe people and learn self-care.
Figuring Out Who I Am: empowers her to begin making her own choices and advocating for herself.
Courage: the girl learns the importance of facing her trauma, and how to move forward.
Moving On: the girl must identify what obstacles might prevent her from reconnecting.
Finishing Well: focuses on the re-connection. She learns how to make good choices, and express her needs.
With the completion of each phase, I take her out to dinner to celebrate. We call it the "Phase Up Meal."
What I so desperately want people to realize is how difficult it can be for our girls to accept that she is worthy of love and respect. While many of our girls have experienced physical abuse along with the sexual abuse of trafficking, it is the psychological abuse that is often hardest to overcome. When you are told daily that you are stupid, worthless and called a whore, slut or even much worse, the damage runs deep and it can take a lifetime to heal.
Yet, we have the privilege of getting to walk this journey with them and get a glimpse of the healing process. So many times I have wanted our partners and supporters to be able to see what I see.
I know that you would be as inspired as I am at the courage of our girls.
We are excited to announce that we have created a way for our partners and supporters to be able to get a glance into our girls' daily journey. We are launching a new monthly giving program called the Quilt Square Society which will not only provide a glimpse into the lives of our girls but also allow us to cover the cost of caring for them.
By joining QSS you will remain in constant contact with TCH through behind-the-scenes monthly emails such as "Monthly Moments," recipe of the month, and monthly outings. Getting to see behind the scenes will allow you to have a visible account of how your monthly contributions are changing lives for the better. We are introducing 5 Tiers of Giving, and if you give to QSS, you will receive a special gift of thanks.
Tier One: Comforts of Home – $5.00
It's all about the little things. Our day-to-day lives are filled with small details that provide us comfort. From an early morning cup of joe to a cup hot tea to wind the day down. All these small comforts provide us pleasure in life. Our girls often need these "sensory" items to help them regulate and cope with their past trauma and addictions.
Tier Two: Kid's Play – $15.00
Kicking a ball, jumping rope, riding a bike, and visiting the zoo are the simple pleasures that so many of our youth missed during their childhoods. It is a goal of The Covering House to help our youth recapture some of their childhood and that is why every Friday is an outing day. We visit museums, the zoo, the Science Center and more. We go to the park where they fly kites, play on the swings, and have a picnic.
"I believe in the mission of TCH and I am proud to partner with them on a continuing basis. The importance of committing to giving monthly allows TCH to continue providing a safe place where we can help restore the innocence stolen from these precious children" – recurring donor
Tier Three: Nurturing Minds – $25.00
100% of The Covering House girls have a gap in their education. Gaps can occur because of being kept out of school, being singled out and bullied while in school, or like some of our girls, being trafficked while living at home and attending school. Whatever the reason our girls come to us with school scars that create a barrier for learning and a fear to try. Education is a key component of our program.
"The leadership and staff of TCH are extremely caring, supportive, and dedicated to providing teens and children with empowered futures. My initial decision to give was fueled by my desire to support children and teens who are being exploited in the worst possible way." -recurring donor
Tier Four: Healing Hearts – $50.00
Therapy is the cornerstone of our care for healing the hearts and souls of our girls. We provide traditional therapy such as individual, groups, and family but we, also, have specialized therapies such as equine therapy, horticulture, and art. The combination of all of these therapies provides our kids tools to process their trauma.
"I continue to give because TCH has created a unique group of volunteers and partners that provide happiness, in a dignified way, to so many. I am proud to give and to be a part of this amazing community" –recurring donor
Safety, Dignity, Freedom – $100.00
Our motto is Safety, Dignity, Freedom. The Covering House was founded with the idea that all children deserve respect. Over the course of our short life as an organization, we have worked with over 70 kids at our long-term therapeutic home and across the community.
" 'Safety' – My mind seeks safety because safety wasn't always an option.
'Dignity' – I carry my dignity like a badge of honor.
'Freedom' – Caging a sparrow to admire its beauty destroys its chance at having
-JP, 18, survivor
I am asking each person reading this to consider helping in one of three ways:
First, if you already give to us monthly, please consider increasing your amount. Even a $5.00 increase can help.
Second, if you currently give but not monthly, please consider giving to us on a monthly basis. We want to be good stewards of the money we receive, and monthly donations allow us to budget our funds.
Third, if you don't give to us, please consider supporting us monthly. Choose a Tier that you feel comfortable with giving and help us help more girls.
We can't provide the life-changing care to these girls without the help of many. I am deeply grateful for each and every person who selflessly gives to us. To join us on this journey of love, visit www.TheCoveringHouse.org/QSS.
On behalf of our beautiful girls, I thank you.
