How did past communities and individuals remember through social and ritual practices? How important were mortuary practices in processes of remembering and forgetting the past? This innovative new research work focuses upon identifying strategies of remembrance. Evidence can be found in a range of archaeological remains including the adornment and alteration of the body in life and death, the production, exchange, consumption and destruction of material culture, the construction, use and reuse of monuments, and the social ordering of architectural space and the landscape. This book shows how in the past, as today, shared memories are important and defining aspects of social and ritual traditions, and the practical actions of dealing with and disposing of the dead can form a central focus for the definition of social memory.

What is the Average Settlement?
People commonly ask personal injury attorneys hear: “What’s the average settlement for this type of claim?” While the question is understandable when considering your legal options after an injury, it’s not always the most straightforward question to answer. This is particularly true when the injury involves the neck and back.
Not All Neck and Back Injuries Are Equal
When speaking of “neck and back injuries,” one can refer to many different things, ranging from minor whiplash that heals within a few days or weeks with rest to a spinal cord injury that deprives the sufferer of the ability to live or complete basic daily tasks independently. Here is a look at some of the types of back and neck injuries and their impact on personal injury claims.
What About Spinal Cord Injuries?
The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that extends from the base of the skull to the waist within the bony housing of the spinal column. As part of the body’s central nervous system, the spinal cord functions as a messenger from the brain to other body parts. However, despite the importance of the spinal cord to the body’s ability to function, the organ only has a limited ability to heal from injuries. Because of this, spinal cord damage is often a permanent injury.
The most common impact of spinal cord injuries is the loss of function and sensation below the injury site, which is known as paralysis. Any level of paralysis can cost millions of dollars due to the high cost of treating the injury and the numerous complications that often accompany it.
For example, according to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, individuals who experience high tetraplegia—which refers to paralysis from the neck down as a result of damage to the spinal cord in the cervical (neck) area, can expect to incur around $4.7 million in lifetime medical costs if the injury occurs at the age of 25, and nearly $2.6 million if the injury occurs at age 50.
Those experiencing low tetraplegia, which refers to paralysis in the lower part of the back while sensation and function in the neck, shoulders, arms, and diaphragm remain intact, can expect slightly lower lifetime expenses.
Lower costs are associated with paraplegia (paralysis affecting only the lower extremities). However, any loss of motor function resulting from the injury will likely carry a lifetime price tag of over $1 million.
Spinal cord injuries are catastrophic injuries because they result in a permanent loss of earning capacity for the sufferer. Because of this, they are often valued higher and command a higher settlement value to compensate the claimant for these expenses throughout their lifetime.
Damage to the Vertebrae or Discs?
In addition to spinal cord injuries, car accidents can damage spinal vertebrae or discs.
The spinal vertebrae are the tiny bones that make up the spinal column. The most common injuries to involve the vertebrae are fractures and dislocations.
Dislocations occur due to damage to the ligaments in the back and neck that hold the vertebrae in place, causing too much movement in the area. If not treated promptly, the injury can damage the spinal cord due.
The spinal discs are rubbery cushions located between the vertebrae. A common type of disc injury suffered in car accidents is a herniated disc, which occurs when a tear in the disc allows the soft, jelly-like center to seep out. Depending on where the injury occurs, it can result in pain in the affected area, numbness, or weakness.
Damage to the spinal vertebrae or discs can often require surgery and produce chronic pain, both of which can drive the value of the claim up due to the increases in medical expenses and wage loss from the injury, as well as compensation needed for the non-economic physical pain and suffering of the injury and associated treatments.
Any Soft Tissue Damage?
Soft tissue damage involves injuries to the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves in the back and neck. Perhaps the most well-known type of soft tissue injury in this part of the body due to a car accident is whiplash. Whiplash damages the soft tissues of the neck when the head snaps forward and backward rapidly and forcefully, like the cracking of a whip. Whiplash symptoms often include pain and stiffness in the neck and shoulders, dizziness, numbness in the arm or hand, irritability, and sleeplessness.
While whiplash and other soft tissue injuries commonly heal with minimal medical interventions, some individuals will suffer chronic pain from the injury. The claim value and consideration of settlement offers often depend on how much work you lost because of the injury and the amount of pain and suffering the claimant incurred.
Other Factors That Determine the Value of a Neck or Back Injury Claim
There is a major difference between a neck and back injury claim that involves high tetraplegia as a result of a spinal cord injury and a claim that involves minor whiplash that results in a few lost days from work and a few weeks of having a sore neck. However, the severity of the injury isn’t the only factor that an attorney considers when valuing a car accident neck and back injury claim.
Other factors that can impact the claim’s value, and subsequently the value of a settlement, include:
- The at-fault party’s insurance. The liability insurance policy of the at-fault driver usually compensates for car accident injuries. Many drivers opt only to purchase the minimum amount of liability insurance required in their state to reduce the amount they pay in insurance premiums. However, these policies often carry a lower policy limit than the expenses and impacts of your neck and back injuries.
- The permanence of the injury, as permanent injuries often cause disabilities that can make it difficult to earn an income and complications that may require medical treatment throughout the sufferer’s life.
- What the claimant earned before the accident. Many expenses an individual can recover depend on lost income. Someone in the prime of a career would face a greater economic loss due to missed work or earning capacity than someone who retired and no longer earns an income or someone who is too young to have a job.
- The age of the accident victim. The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation notes that it is considerably more expensive to live the course of one’s life with a spinal cord injury that occurred at the age of 25 than living with one that occurred after the sufferer turned 50.
- Any pre-existing injuries. Pre-existing injuries can make it difficult to value a claim because the claimant can only seek compensation for the expenses and impacts created by the worsening of the condition rather than the condition itself. Insurance companies will often pounce on pre-existing injuries to reduce the claim’s value or even eliminate the claim, making the assistance of an experienced personal injury attorney even more important to protect the claim’s value.
The Unique Issues That Can Affect a Settlement in a Neck and Back Injury Case
A car accident claim often begins when the claimant’s attorney submits a demand to the insurance provider. Upon receiving this demand, the provider assigns the claim to a claims adjuster, an individual hired by the insurance company to evaluate claims and determine the claimant’s payout. After reviewing the demand, the adjuster can either choose to pay it in full, deny the claim with a reason provided to the claimant for the denial, or make an offer to settle the case for less than its total value.
Most initial settlement offers from insurance providers for personal injury claims are around 40 percent of the claim’s value, or even less if an attorney does not represent the claimant. The problem with accepting a settlement without having an attorney value the claim is that the client often has no idea what their claim is worth or the impacts and expenses they can recover.
Without having this information available when deciding on a settlement, claimants often go for quick resolution only to find out later that the payment they received was not enough to cover all of their expenses and impacts. However, the claimant can no longer go back and ask for additional compensation after accepting the offer.
Other unique issues that can impact the settlement in a neck and back injury case include:
- Questions of liability. One of the most common ways insurance adjusters reduce or eliminate the value of a claim is by producing evidence to suggest that the injury did not occur the way the claimant said it did or was not as serious as the claimant says it is. They use the client’s own recorded statements against them, by obtaining authorization to look at the claimant’s medical history to search for pre-existing conditions, or even by looking at the claimant’s social media accounts to see if posts indicate the claimant participates in activities that the insurance provider does not believe they should do due to their injuries.
- Questions about medical expenses. Insurance companies will often reduce claims by going after soft expenses such as medical expenses involving less-standard treatment methods. For example, if the treatment mostly involved chiropractic’s rather than surgery and medication, the insurance company may try to get out of paying for the chiropractic treatments, saying that chiropractors are not medical doctors.
- Willingness to compromise. In a settlement, the claimant agrees to accept a lower amount of compensation and an insurer agrees to provide that compensation to avoid the expense and uncertainty of litigation. When both sides agree on some aspects of the settlement but disagree on others, it can result in delays and ultimately conclude the case through court action.
- The claimant’s patience. Settlements can come until the court decides the matter. In other words: A large part of the life of the case will take place during settlement negotiations. The process is often frustrating for the client, who faces mounting expenses. Impatient claimants are often quicker to determine that an offer is fair. An attorney can provide guidance, but, ultimately, whether to accept an offered settlement is the client’s decision.

President Nicos Anastasiades will testify on Tuesday before a panel investigating the island’s controversial citizenship by investment programme.
The president is scheduled to appear before the four-member panel at 10am.
He is expected to answer questions regarding the involvement of his former law firm in the programme.
The panel was appointed by the attorney-general in September last year after a series of damning reports saying citizenships had been granted to dubious individuals.
Before it could start, Al Jazeera published an undercover video showing former House president Demetris Syllouris and former Akel MP Christakis Giovanis offering to help a fictitious Chinese businessman with a criminal record secure citizenship.
Both have since resigned while the programme was terminated.

Enfield (Mass.) Collection, 1800-1939.
8 boxes (4 linear feet).
Call no.: MS 010
Situated at the confluence of the east and west branches of the Swift River in western Massachusetts, Enfield was the largest and southernmost of the four towns inundated in 1939 to create the Quabbin Reservoir. Incorporated as a town in 1816, Enfield was relatively prosperous in the nineteenth century on an economy based on agriculture and small-scale manufacturing, reaching a population of just over 1,000 by 1837. After thirty years of seeking a suitably large and reliable water supply for Boston, the state designated the Swift River Valley as the site for a new reservoir and with its population relocated, Enfield was officially disincorporated on April 28, 1938.
The records of the town of Enfield, Mass., document nearly the entire history of the largest of four towns inundated to create the Quabbin Reservoir. The core of the collection consists of records of town meetings and of the activities of the town Selectmen, 1804-1938, but there are substantial records for the Enfield Congregational Church. The School Committee, Overseers of the Poor, the town Library Association, and groups such as the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Bethel Masonic Lodge.

1 drawer (0.2 linear feet).
Call no.: MS 100
To meet the growing needs for potable water in the Boston metropolitan region, the Massachusetts state legislature ordered the evacuation of the relatively sparsely populated towns of Dana, Enfield, Greenwich, and Prescott, as well as portions of other adjoining towns such as New Salem, to make way for the construction of a massive reservoir. Over the course of almost two decades, the population of the towns was systematically relocated, the houses moved or razed, and bed of the future reservoir was stripped of trees and brush. The last remaining residents of the region were removed in 1938 and the four primary towns were officially disincorporated as the dam was completed and the waters began to rise.
The numbered blueprint sheets and index that make up this collection offer a detailed depiction of the Swift River Valley towns at the time the state government was seizing land for the Quabbin Reservoir. Apparently surveyed between 1932 and 1938, the maps were prepared by the Metropolitan District Commission of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for a Quabbin Reservoir Real Estate Survey in 1959 and then revised in 1972.

48 items (3 linear feet).
Call no.: RB 012
Although printing requires a substantial capital investment in equipment before any hope of profitability can be entertained, there have been numerous attempts over the years to set up printing houses in communities with astonishingly small population bases. In even the most remote Massachusetts towns, people like John Metcalf (Wendell), Ezekiel Terry (Palmer), and John and Solomon Howe (Enfield and Greenwich) operated as printers during the nineteenth century, specializing in a quotidian array of broadsides, song sheets, almanacs, toy books, and printed forms, hoping to supplement, or provide, a decent living.
This small, but growing collection consists of materials printed prior to the twentieth century in small Massachusetts towns, defined as towns with populations less than about 2,500. Although few of these houses survived for long, they were important sources for rural communities. Typically simple in typography, design, and binding, even crude, the output of such printers provides an important gauge of the interests and tastes of New England’s smallest and often poorest communities.

The viral DNA of human polyomaviruses JC virus (JCV) and BK virus (BKV) was detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in urine samples from 31 pregnant women in Taiwan. A pair of appropriate primers amplified both JCV and BKV DNA of the regulatory region simultaneously in PCR. An oligonucleotide probe homologous to both JCV and BKV regulatory region was used subsequently to detect the viral DNA by Southern blotting after PCR amplification. Approximately 36% of the examined urine samples were human polyomavirus positive. The genotypes of JCV and BKV were determined by DNA sequencing of their regulatory regions. Besides CY archetype, a new strain (Taiwan-l) of JCV with a pentanucleotide (GGGAA) deletion and a new strain (Taichung-1) of BKV with two nucleotide alterations within the regulatory region were found in the urine samples. Eight of the examined samples were JCV infected, one was BKV infected, and two were JCV and BKV mix-infected. The JCV positive individuals were infected by CY archetype and Taiwan-l strain equally. However, Taichung-1 strain was the only BKV strain found in the BKV positive individuals.

Over here at Indie Street, we practice a very indie audience-minded form of curation to make sure you don’t have to shift through a bunch of noise in order to get to the quality stuff. However, giants like Netflix, which offer thousands of genres and films - both good and….questionable - can’t be as geared towards a specific type of viewer. You can spend a lot of time rifling through titles when you could have been using that time to actually watch something instead. Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a way to skip the scrolling and synopsis reading and just get to the watching action? Well, engineers over at Netflix might have found a solution in Mindflix, a sensor headband which reads your brainwaves. When wearing the prototype headband, Netflix users can browse the application without a remote control or anything! All you need is a (working) brain. With that, you can select a movie or TV show just by thinking. Mindflix works by detecting activity in your frontal lobe. The headband was successful at the company’s annual Hack Day but there’s no word yet on market release. Here’s to the future and perhaps Indie Street mind-reading headgear one day?! Until then, learn more about Mindflix by watching the video below!

Director Jim Mickle creates jarringly smooth transitions from disturbing suspense to laugh out loud comedic moments that will make you question your own sanity. Not sure how a transition could be jarring and smooth, or how you could laugh seconds after being horrifically disturbed? Neither were we until we saw this film, and for that we give Cold in July a big fat 5/5 stars.
If nothing else, Tuesday is a day for respecting some good comedy. Enter Archer's "Danger Zone" of comedic one liners in this youtube supercut compilation. "This is like O Henry and Alanis Morissette had a baby and called it this exact situation!"
A: With disgusting talent. Bryson Andres has blown up over the last year, but his heart still lies with the street. He says his favorite venue is to "perform on the streets where everyone can experience my music and just relax." Thanks Bryson for stayin' Indie and keeping it on the Street.

We are happy to announce the TV premiere of "Cut Uncut" by Insa Onken on 23.07.2022, at 21:58h on ARTE.
Removal of the foreskin is the most common operation performed on male children worldwide - for religious, cultural or medical reasons. In Africa, the WHO used boy circumcision in the fight against AIDS. But more and more doctors say that the harm is greater than the medical benefits and that surgery is performed far too often.
Despite increasing criticism, the opinion that circumcision brings many benefits is still widespread. The film explores the question of when circumcision actually makes medical sense and critically questions the ethics of this millennia-old practice.

Primary Intracranial Thalamic Leiomyosarcoma: Clinical Report of a Case and Review of the Literature
Keywords:Leiomyosarcoma, Intracranial, Thalamencephalon, Radiotherapy, Surgery.
Purpose:The incidence of the primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma is extremely rare, and few cases have been previously reported worldwide to date. This report was to clarify the potential role of radiotherapy in the management of primary intracranial leiomyosarcoma.
Methods and Materials:This report presented a 49-year old man with a 3-month history of a progressively headache and walking unsteadily. The diagnosis was confirmed with thalamic leiomyosarcomaof high-grade malignancyaccording to the pathologic examination after neurosurgical biopsy. The patient didnt undergo surgical resection because of a high risk death. After biopsy, radiotherapy using 3D-CRT technique to the mass site with 55.8Gy/31f/43d was given accordingly.
Results: The mass didnt reduce much at the end of radiotherapy. The patient refused systemic chemotherapy, he was alive without signs of local relapse and brain side-effectswith 6 month follow-up. After living eleven months and three weeks after radiotherapy, he died of local progression.
Conclusions: Through literature review, the current therapeutic approaches including surgery, radiotherapy as well as chemotherapy appear to have limited effect, but could be beneficious of patients in tumor local control and improvement of the life quality.

Leisure group Loungers is to open its very first bar and restaurant in the region in a Northumberland market town.
The West Country cafe bar group has confirmed it is set to open Muro Lounge in Hexham at the end of August, a move which will also create a number of jobs. Muro Lounge will be open all day, every day for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and drinks, including full kids’, gluten-free and vegan menus, served in a relaxed, welcoming space.
The Loungers build and design team are gearing up to transform the former Argos site on Fore Street to become “a real home from home”. The company says Muro Lounge will cater for all tastes throughout the day with a varied all-day menu, and activities for families including a selection of games, books, colouring pencils and pads, plus high chairs and baby-changing facilities.
The company has submitted a licence application asking to serve alcohol from 10am to midnight daily, as well as a separate application for an outdoor seating area. Managers say Muro Lounge will also “welcome locals looking for a space for regular catch ups, meetings and events – everything from business networking, book or knitting clubs to parent and baby meets and life drawing classes”.
The move into the North East also means a range of front and back-of-house roles are on offer and a recruitment drive is now under way.
Gemma Irwin, community manager at Loungers, said: “We’re so looking forward to opening the doors of Muro Lounge at the end of August. We hope our family friendly environment and top-notch food and drink offering will prove popular with local residents.
“We’re passionate about integrating genuinely into the communities we serve so we’re looking forward to meeting everyone and to playing our part at the heart of Hexham’s food and drink scene. Anyone looking for a space to host events or groups should pop in once we’re open, we’d love to hear from them and see what we can do to help.”
The Bristol group’s CEO Nick Collins last year said the North East was a region Loungers was looking to edge into following Lounge openings in North Yorkshire – in Northallerton, Rippon and Scarborough – and property teams recently visited the area to look at potential sites.
Last week Loungers opened its 221st site when it launched Fioro Lounge, in Cheltenham. The company will also launch Bianco Lounge in The White Rose shopping centre in Leeds in May.

Watch the latest movies at the Dundas Square movie theatre, or enjoy cultural events in the square. The possibilities are endless.
The Panda Condos is located at the former site of the The World’s Biggest Book Store which was operating from the 80’s until 2014.
The new development will have 629 residential units including:

- 219 Suites will be 2 Bedroom
- 93 Suites will be 3 Bedroom
Panda Condos on Edward Street will have 4 levels of underground parking with space for 242 vehicles and 610 bicycles.

Quinoa. It's pronounced keen-wa.
Not kin-oh-ah. Keen-wa. It's kind of fun to say, isn't it? Well, it's easy to make and fantastic to eat. It's versatile, hearty and tasty. And guess what? It's gluten free!
Unlike it's aesthetic fraternal twin, couscous, which is made from wheat and is actually a tiny pasta, quinoa is a seed! It can be soaked and cooked much like other grains we find in our supermarkets and health food stores today. It comes in three colors (to my knowledge): tan, red and black. Tan is the easiest to find, followed by the red. Black quinoa is something I've been able to find at my local organic grocery co-op, though I haven't heard of people finding it too easily elsewhere.
There is conflicting information out there about whether or not quinoa is a complete protein. Some sources claim it contains all 9 essential amino acids for it to qualify, while some say it has just 8. Either way, it's a great source of healthy fats, whole grain fiber, phosphorous, magnesium and iron.
According to the Wikipedia entry on quinoa:
Quinoa…a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium), is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, or grain, as it is not a grass. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beets, spinach and tumbleweeds. Its leaves are also eaten as a leaf vegetable, much like amaranth, but the commercial availability of quinoa greens is currently limited.
Quinoa may be germinated in its raw form to boost its nutritional value. Germination activates its natural enzymes and multiplies its vitamin content. In fact, quinoa has a notably short germination period: Only 2–4 hours resting in a glass of clean water is enough to make it sprout and release gases, as opposed to, e.g., 12 hours overnight with wheat. This process, besides its nutritional enhancements, softens the grains, making them suitable to be added to salads and other cold foods.
What I love most about quinoa is how versatile it is. You can make it completely plain by cooking it in water, or make it savory by cooking it in vegetable or chicken stock. You can even cook it in nut milk or almond milk and prepare it for a sweeter dish or for breakfast! Be on the lookout for more quinoa recipes in the future, but for now, I'll give you the basics on cooking quinoa. Personally, I tend to make it far more often than I make rice since I can't really mess up cooking quinoa, and it's higher in nutrients. (pictured right: pinto beans cooked with green olives over black quinoa)
Here are a few ideas of dishes I make with quinoa: a quick salad of avocado, tomato and quinoa dressed with a squeeze of lime and cilantro, quinoa in place of rice or pasta under beans, meat or seafood, coconut quinoa with walnuts and cranberries for breakfast. I've even made quinoa “cakes” or little patties that I've toasted up similarly to potato pancakes, it's so versatile! Maybe search the web for some recipes that look interesting to you and get cracking to try some quinoa tonight!
- 1 cup dry quinoa
- 2 cups liquid (water, stock, coconut milk)
- optional: you may add a small amount of sea salt, olive oil, or other flavorings if you're making a sweet version (vanilla extract, for example)
Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh strainer for a minute or so.
Place rinsed quinoa into liquid in a pot on high heat. Allow the liquid to come to a boil. Once the liquid is boiling, reduce to a low simmer, leaving the lid on to allow the liquid to absorb into the quinoa. This will take approximately 20 minutes, but if you leave it longer on the stove, simply turn off the heat and it won't overcook.
The quinoa is done when all of the liquid is absorbed and the seeds are sprouted. You'll see the tiny white germ ring popped out of the seeds.
Yield: approximately 2 cups
You can store the quinoa for about 3-5 days in your refrigerator and use it a bit at a time.
Stay tuned for more delicious quinoa recipes in upcoming posts.

Here's an idea. Take two particularly hot jazz/blues session guitarists, add a talented bass player/ producer and an incendiary drummer, and make a blues-rock record.
Landau and Ford are both best known for blues work, but both have done session work in a variety of settings. Haslip is a member of the fusion group Yellowjackets, and has done production and bass work for multiple artists. Novak is a highly respected drummer who has worked mostly in jazz, but he also toured with Alanis Morissette.
Landau and Ford write the songs, and they are certainly capable writers, although the lyrical content is occasionally weak. You don't care. You're here for blues-rock guitars. And this group brings that in spades. What's Up is a funky, stomping rocker, and God And Rock 'N Roll, The Darkness, the title track, Who Do You Think You Are, Where The Wind Blows, and Brothers all follow suit, rocking hard and featuring crazy great drumming and wildly hot and creative guitar solos. Destiny Over Me and Peace both slow the pace, but they are also excellent.
The vocals are good. I prefer Landau as a singer, but that's just me. Ford's thin voice has never excited me much. But again, this record is about guitars, guitars, guitars. If you need a dose of some hot guitar, take this CD and call me in the morning.

While Germany's renewable energy law, the Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz (EEG), provides "an economic advantage to operators of green electricity installations and [has] the potential to distort competition in a liberalised electricity market," it does not constitute the payment of state aid to industry. So concluded the European Commission last month, ending years of debate about the legality, under EU common market rules, of utilities being ordered by governments to pay specific premiums for wind power. The commission came to its conclusion after examining a judgement made by the European Court of Justice in March, 2001, which concluded that requiring people to pay more for green power was not a form of state aid.

Let's face it. When Ireland can do something better than America, you know you're in trouble.
Private health care in Ireland costs, on average, about $60 a month for a single person.
Private health care in America costs, on average, about $500 a month for a single person.
That's if you can find an individual plan to take you.
For employers, it's even more expensive. About $600 for a single worker going up to roughly $1,300 for a family. A month.
How can anyone; Republican or Democrat really believe - in a recession no less - that businesses should be liable for health care costs?
How are we ever going to get out of this recession if small businesses are hobbled by health care costs?
It's ironic beyond words that American companies based in Ireland can be more competitive because they don't have to pay the prohibitive U.S. health insurance costs for their Irish workers.

How to beat the odds (and other start-ups) to win investment: Five secrets to raising money for your business
- Understand the investor's point of view is key to secure business funding
- Enter our Great British Entrepreneur Challenge for a chance to win up to £50k
- Deadline for the first round is 15 February 2019
There is plenty of razzle-dazzle in the world of start-ups: entrepreneurs, advisers and investors can all talk a good game.
There is nothing they like more than trumpeting a success story across the media.
No wonder that record numbers of companies have been set up in Britain in the past few years. Surely glamour, glitz, glory await?
The reality is rather different.
Survive and thrive: our expert tips can help you start out and grow into an established business
Despite generous tax breaks, early-stage investors are still relatively thin on the ground in the UK.
Only around one in a hundred companies looking for investment actually gets it – let alone the extra help, support and advice they really need to scale.
In the current uncertain economic times, the odds of securing investment are getting higher by the day.
Here are five tips to help you avoid tipping your chance of investment away:
1. Start on a high with a great elevator pitch
You need to be able to explain your business and get investors excited in less than 30 seconds – yes, in a buyers' market, that is their maximum initial attention span.
What are you offering? What audience are you targeting? What problem are you solving? What is your secret sauce – something that makes you really stand out from the crowd and your competitors?
You need to think about what would really raise investors' eyebrows and make you a must-have, not an also-ran.
2. Become a market expert
You need to become an expert in your chosen sector and prove why it is a strong and big enough market to go for.
How big is the market you are operating in? How big is your addressable market – the area of the market you can target? How fast is it growing? Who are your key competitors? How can you maintain a competitive advantage?
Andy Yates, successful entrepreneur and angel investor, is running the Great British Entrepreneur Challenge with This is Money
Being a market expert is more than just a top-down market size approach.
You also need to show you have thought about how you win customers.
What is your ideal target customer? How much will they pay? How many of them are there?
3. Prove you can get customers
You need to demonstrate that reaching customers is within your reach.
Do you have a strong, credible and believable sales and marketing plan? Can you demonstrate you have tested this?
Is the cost of getting a customer less than the profit you will make from them? Can you get enough customers cost effectively?
Remember, it costs next to nothing to pick up the phone and talk to potential customers.
Good old-fashioned real world progress and demonstrable sales and customer interest is worth a thousand times more than a beautiful (but untested) spreadsheet and business plan.
4. Work on the team
Teamwork can work wonders for your investment chances. Solo entrepreneurs are often a 'jack of all trades' – but can't be master of all of them.
Entrepreneurs with good sales and marketing skills often need strong operational support.
Conversely, technical or product founders need help to get their product out there. Ideally you will have co-founders that cover all the main bases of sales, product, operations and finances – and have some good and relevant experience behind them.
If not, you should demonstrate that you have good people lined up once you get investment, or you can access the talent you need in the future.
Your team is a key area and we will suggest some tips on how to build a successful team in a future article.
Entrepreneurs with good sales and marketing skills often need strong operational support
5. Understand the investor's point of view
Something most entrepreneurs forget is the fact that investors are putting in high-risk capital and need a return.
Any start-up needs to demonstrate that it has an exciting and big enough opportunity to scale, grow significantly in value and deliver a strong return on investment.
You need to build credible financial forecasts to back up this opportunity, based on realistic and achievable assumptions that you can justify to investors.
Investors will still want to kick the tyres, ask lots of questions, see if there are any skeletons in the closet and negotiate appropriate legal terms and valuations.
If you can get the five points above right, you can hugely increase your chances of securing investment and beating the odds. After all, beating the odds is what being a successful entrepreneur is all about.

Amid the growing number of COVID-19 cases in Mexico, several states are deploying new precautions to stop the spread. Internationally, innovations in organ transplants and insomnia treatment are in the spotlight.
Here is the week in health!
Mexico President’s Contracts COVID-19 a Second Time
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador tested positive to COVID-19 after attending a morning press conference showing clear symptoms. During the event, he said he “woke up hoarse but I think it is the flu." López Obrador will remain isolated util next Monday, said Minister of Health Jorge Alcocer. In the meantime, the president said he will only do office work and communicate virtually.
COVID-19 Quickly Spreads
As the highly contagious Omicron variant rapidly spreads throughout Mexico, the country broke its record of COVID-19 infections registered in a single day three times in a single week, reporting 44,187 new cases on Wednesday, said the Ministry of Health.
Flurona Identified in Mexico
Amid Mexico’s fourth wave of COVID-19, the first cases of flurona have been detected in the country, leading health experts to call for extreme caution. Flurona is the simultaneous infection of SARS-CoV-2 and the influenza virus.
Traveling Measures Relax
Despite rising COVID-19 cases, Mexico has discarded a health screening form previously given to tourists coming into the country, which was its only sanitary screening requirement. With this move, the country returns to its pre-pandemic travel procedures despite the mass spread of COVID-19 variants.
Jalisco Strengthens Sanitary Measures
As of Jan. 14, those living in Jalisco will have to present a COVID-19 vaccination certificate or a negative PCR test to enter cultural centers, casinos, clubs, stadiums, concerts and all kinds of mass events, reported the state’s government. These measures will only apply to people over 18 years old.
COFEPRIS Goes Digital
Mexican regulatory agency COFEPRIS introduced the Procedure Digitalization Platform (DIGIPRiS) to help users submit procedures related to personal consumption. The digital platform has been a long-time wish of the health industry.
A Light of Hope for Organ Transplant
For the first time in history, a pig heart was successfully transplanted into a human. David Bennett, a 57-year-old man with fatal heart disease, received a heart transplant from a genetically modified pig, reported surgeons at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Novel Treatment for Insomnia
One of the most common sleeping disorders, insomnia, has a novel therapy on its way. This week, Swiss drugmaker Idorsia received FDA’s approval for its treatment for insomnia in adult patients.
Cannabis Against COVID-19
Some acids present in cannabis could help prevent COVID-19 infections, according to a study by Oregon State University. Researchers found that cannabinoids adhere to the spike protein of the virus, thereby inhibiting its ability to penetrate human cells.


Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez, who was sidelined after an April 7 spill at Aqueduct, hopes to resume riding May 1 -- three days before the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I).
Velazquez will not require surgery on a broken right collarbone sustained in a June 16 riding accident at Churchill Downs, according to a medical update issued June 21 by the jockey's wife.
Belmont Stakes-winning rider heads back to New York June 19 after suffering broken collarbone, traumatic blow to kidney at Churchill Downs in June 16 spill.
Jockey John Velazquez was resting in good condition at a Lexington hotel Oct. 4 following his release from the University of Kentucky Medical Center. He was hospitalized a day earlier when he suffered a serious concussion in a spill at Keeneland Race Course.
Jockey John Velazquez, injured when his mount broke down at Keeneland April 20, will miss the Kentucky Derby presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) due to a fractured right shoulder blade and other injuries, according to Tristan Barry, an assistant to trainer Todd Pletcher.

Part 1 - Talking about gout: time for a re-think
Gout is a treatable form of arthritis that is associated with poor health and reduced life expectancy. Too often,
gout management is focused on controlling the patient’s symptoms while their risk of irreversible joint damage and negative
health outcomes continues to grow.

Urate-lowering medicines should be considered and discussed with patients with gout from the first presentation.

Washington: A key American lawmaker has asked the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to provide information about the missing Baloch leader alleging that it might be kidnapped by Pakistani intelligence agents.
In a letter, released to the press on Monday, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher asked Clinton to provide his office with information related to the case of a missing Baluch Zakir Majeed, vice-chairman of the Baluch Student Organization, who was abducted on June 2009.
Rohrabacher in his letter alleged that Majeed was likely kidnapped by agents of Pakistani intelligence.
"I ask the State Department provide my office with all information about the kidnapping and kidnappers of Mr Majeed," said the Congressman, who is Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee which held a hearing on Baluchistan on February 8, 2012.
Human rights groups have recorded hundreds of cases of ethnic Baluch men disappearing or being killed by Pakistan`s security forces.
The Pakistani government uses kidnapping and murder to repress Baluch who express a desire for autonomy, the Congressman alleged in his statement.
Earlier this year, Rohrabacher raised the case of British citizen Noordin Mengal, who was the delegate to the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization for Baluchistan, and was denied entry to the United States by the Department of Homeland Security.
At the time, Rohrabacher wrote to Secretary Napolitano that the US Government needs to "end its partnership with the ISI in repressing the Baluchi people. We must allow eligible Baluchi leaders to come to the US ... The people of Baluchistan are not the enemy of the US; they are our allies in the region. "
Rohrabacher, together with Congressmen Steve King and Louie Gohmert, introduced legislation on February 17, 2012 expressing the sense of Congress that the people of Baluchistan have a "right to self-determination and to their own sovereign country."

Introduction: To identify sociocultural determinants of self-reported condom use and HIV testing and examine variables related to accessibility, motivation and obstacles among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Jordan.
Design: Cross-sectional study among MSM who were identified through services of a local non-governmental organization (NGO).
Methods: Respondents were studied with a semi-structured interview based on the Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue (EMIC) framework. The vignette-based EMIC interview considered locally relevant HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, risk perception and perceived causes, as well as awareness of services and sources of support.
Results: Of the 97 respondents, 27% reported that they used a condom at last intercourse; 38% had been tested at least once for HIV. Positive determinants of condom use were higher education level, acknowledging MSM as a high-risk group, seeking advice from a medical doctor and the perceived causes "sex with prostitutes" and "sex with animals." Awareness of available treatment was a positive determinant of HIV testing. Blood transfusion as a perceived cause and asking advice from friends were negative determinants.
Conclusions: Jordanian MSM seem to be aware of the risk of HIV infection and effective prevention methods, and they are willing to be tested for HIV. Our findings addressed the importance of the sexual meaning of HIV/AIDS on the control of HIV/AIDS among MSM. More effective engagement of NGOs and MSM in the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS is needed, enlisting the support of medical doctors and community health workers. Peer education should be strategically strengthened. Political commitment is needed to mitigate social stigma.
Keywords: HIV test; HIV/AIDS; Jordan; MSM; Middle East and North Africa; condom.

The weather is:
absolutely gorgeous! This past week is warm and sunny and makes a person believe in summer.
I am listening to:
assorted YA Sync Titles - finished The Sin-Eater's Daughter which I liked more and more as the story went along, so much so that I'd listen to the next in the series. Usually YA fantasy is not my cuppa, but some of the twists worked for me. Listening to 100 Sideways Miles by Andrew Smith
I am watching:
Big Brother just started - my summer crack. We also like watching America's Got Talent with the children.
I also just got a Netflix password (possibly the last person in the world) and I spent some time today browsing around and deciding what I want to watch.
I am reading:
Just finished Poppet by Mo Hayder, a creepy British police mystery. Just one more in this series, Wolf. Next up, The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith, aka JK Rowing.
I also finished reading all the final exams last week, which is the best feeling the the world.
Books Entering House:
I am very excited to read The Fireman by Joe Hill in July. A nice little sale, with free shipping made this book the perfect birthday present to myself. Plus, the #Firemanreadalong
Plans for summer:
Not much of anything. I live a simple life!
- A few trips to the beach
- keeping my hanging basket of flowers alive
- trying some new vegetarian meals for my daughter
- eating out on some patio restaurants in downtown Charlottetown
- family reunions on both sides
- reading and listening to books
- watching both daughters play soccer (both girls) and softball (oldest girl)
- spend some time at the cottage my sister and I share
- Canada Day!

A Particularly Hard Problem
Fireworks happen when material approaches too close to a black hole. The extreme space-time distortion near the black hole produces a steep gravitational well; material that does not leave the well alone falls swiftly down, through the event horizon of the black hole never again to return to our Universe. This is a violent process; in their mad rush, atoms bump into other atoms, jostling at near light speed. Because everything spins, stuff does not fall straight down, but spirals around the region outside the black hole, forming a thin accretion disk heated to incredible temperatures by gas friction. Black holes have been observed to emit X-rays, indicating the presence of material at millions of degrees; but they also emit hard X-rays characteristic of temperatures of billions of degrees. A new computer simulation, shown above, has helped shed light on the nature of the hard X-ray light generated by the disk of accreting material. The details of this simulation reveal the contorted paths that radiation takes when moving past the black hole; the turbulent interactions of matter and magnetic fields; and the violent collisions between electrons and photons which re-direct and increase the energy of the transmitted radiation.

Jordan ministers leave the position after shunning Covid-19 restrictions
Two ministers in the Jordanian government have been axed for going against COVID-19 rules. The ministers have resigned and replacements have been made immediately.
Jordan ministers lose job for flouting COVID-19 laws
Jordan Justice and interior ministers have resigned after they were caught attending a party at a bar. This action of theirs disregarded the state COVID-19 rules. Jordan Prime Minister Bisher al-Khasawneh said he has accepted their resignation letter. The two ministers were Samir Mobeideen and Bassam Talhouni.
They were accused of violating Jordan emergency law, a few days after it was enacted to limit the increase of COVID-19 infections. Jordan has seen a surge in infections, particularly of a new variant that has ravaged the nation. According to the news report, the ministers went to the party with about ten individuals when the policy allows a maximum of five.
This disobedience by these ministers sparked national outrage as huge fines were imposed on defaulters. New ministers were appointed to fill their positions immediately. More security forces have been put on alert to retain anybody that violates the COVID-19 rule.
Restrictions heavily monitored in Jordan due to rise in Covid-19 transmission
Thousands of shops have been closed and businesses are put down in strict compliance with the COVID-19 policy. This is regarded as one of the biggest breakdowns of the year to combat the virus. The government sent many security personnel to various checkpoints to monitor the curfew. Health officials in the country have insisted that the surge in infection rate is due to civil disobedience.
The new restriction’s policy states that individuals caught not putting on face marks are due to be fined $150, which is a huge amount of money in this nation where the pandemic has increased the unemployment rate higher. Jordan has seen about 400,000 cases and 3,562 deaths. It hasn’t started the administration of vaccines and hopes that the COVAX initiative will help them.

Darron Smith, 35, was working on an oil rig off Batam Island in Indonesia when he got a message to call home urgently.
His 37-year-old wife Anna had been rushed to hospital in Shetland with a previously undiagnosed heart condition.
Within 24 hours her condition rapidly deteriorated and helpless Darron could only listen as medics battled in vain to save the mum-of-one's life.
He was on the phone to Anna's mum when he heard the tragic news that his wife had died.
"I heard Carolyn say 'is she gone?' and the medical team confirming it," Darron told the Sunday Mail.
"It was distressing, but comforting to be there – albeit thousands of miles away at the end of the phone.
"I take comfort in being with Anna in her last moments."
It took the oil rig worker five flights over two days to get home after his wife's death on January 23.
It is believed dental nurse Anna suffered from a ruptured heart valve after two massive heart attacks.
"She was a young mother with everything to live for, she was fit and looked after herself," Darron said.
He is now helping his four-year-old daughter, Ava, deal with the devastating loss.
"Ava is coping much better than me at times, but children that age have a remarkable way of speaking up and stating what's happened.
"We will cope with losing Anna in the way Ava finds best," he said.
The family has set up a JustGiving page to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation.
An incredible £14,000 has been raised in just a few days by those touched by Darron's heart-rending story.
On the site, Darron wrote: "It has blown me away the generosity shown on this page and although I'm heartbroken I have managed a smile knowing all the people donating are not only supporting the British Heart Foundation but supporting Ava and I during these hard times."
