Credit Repair Consultants also proudly proclaims that they offer a refund policy on your monthly fees. The catch? You have to be a customer for a full 12 months before you can request an evaluation of your account; if the service has successfully removed or improved your account, you may not get a refund at all. They will claim a credit of $60 for every deleted or improved item on your credit report, and then compare it to the fees you've paid. In other words, if you've paid for 12 months at nearly $60 and they've removed or improved 12 things on your credit report, you're not entitled to anything back.
When looking into credit repair business training, advisors should make sure they are gaining the tools and resources need to manage a credit repair business successfully. Advertising, compliance, marketing, sale and operations management should be key aspects in your training and education. Customer service is also an essential direction to a successful credit repair business, and learning as much as you can about the credit repair industry will help you to gain valuable and reliable customers. - Enfold WordPress Theme by Kriesi
Credit repair services: My Credit Group’s comprehensive suite of credit repair services includes credit bureau disputes, goodwill interventions, debt validation and original creditor negotiation. If the firm fails to get an item deleted, they attempt to negotiate a “pay for delete.” After addressing the client’s negative credit issues, the company helps the client open new lines of credit to improve their credit score. My Credit Group helps many clients qualify for a home loan through their credit repair services.
It involves identifying questionable negative information on your credit reports and challenging the negative items in question. But, it can also require following up with the credit bureaus and to get the negative items from your credit reports removed. If you have been a victim of identity theft, it is highly likely that you have multiple accounts that need to be disputed.
From there, Credit Repair's experts work with credit companies to implement your plan, and then they verify with the credit bureaus to make sure that those changes actually take effect. You can track your progress through your personal online dashboard and a mobile app, where you'll also see your score tracker and analysis of the changes to your credit profile.
eCreditAttorney's pricing is simple: $29 per month. For that fee, your credit repair service should include addressing late payments, collections, bankruptcies, tax liens, repossessions, judgments, foreclosures, charge-offs, garnishment, even identity theft/fraud. You're expected to provide a current copy of your most recent, updated credit report; it's not included with the fees that you pay. Side note: the link provided by eCreditAttorney for their "preferred credit score provider" took us to an invalid page - not very encouraging.

All of these issues were eliminated when the advancement took place to create a secure and efficient web-based credit repair software program known as SAAS (Software as a service
Credit scoring models usually take into account how much you owe compared to how much credit you have available, called your credit utilization rate or your balance-to-limit ratio. Basically it's the sum of all of your revolving debt (such as your credit card balances) divided by the total credit that is available to you (or the total of all your credit limits).

SAINT-EXUPÉRY: Wind, Sand and Stars: Journal
Embellished Manuscripts Collection
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was one of the great modern adventurers. His passion for exploring the great beyond led him into a career combining piloting and philosophy. His Wind, Sand and Stars memoir, reproduced on this cover, is a haunting tale of heroism, camaraderie and aviation.
Saint-Exupery was well-known in his day as an explorer, he is most strongly remembered as the author of The Little Prince – Exupéry’s much beloved, self-illustrated tale of the meeting between a stranded pilot and an asteroid-born prince. Known for its poetic elegance, The Little Prince has since been translated into over 250 languages worldwide.
While The Little Prince is his most famous story, the majority of his written works focus more on his personal experiences as one of the leading pilots of his age. Shown on the cover of this Embellished Manuscript is a page from the original 1939 manuscript for Wind, Sand and Stars – known in French as Terre des hommes. This classic in aviation adventure tales is a true window into the soul of this great adventurer.

|Description:||Among the diseases affecting banana (Musa sp), yellow Sigatoka, caused by the fungal pathogen Mycosphaerella musicola Leach, is considered one of the most important in Brazil, causing losses throughout the year. Understanding the genetic structure of pathogen populations will provide insight into the life history of pathogens, including the evolutionary processes occurring in agrosystems. Tools for estimating the possible emergence of pathogen variants with altered pathogenicity, virulence, or aggressiveness, as well as resistance to systemic fungicides, can also be developed from such data. The objective of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity and population genetics of M. musicola in the main banana-producing regions in Brazil. A total of 83 isolates collected from different banana cultivars in the Brazilian states of Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte, and Minas Gerais were evaluated using inter-simple sequence repeat markers. High variability was detected between the isolates, and 85.5% of the haplotypes were singletons in the populations. The highest source of genetic diversity Genetic structure of M. musicola population 8047 Genetics and Molecular Research 14 (3): 8046-8057 (2015) ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br (97.22%) was attributed to variations within populations. Bayesian cluster analysis revealed the presence of 2 probable ancestral groups, however, showed no relationship to population structure in terms of collection site, state of origin, or cultivar. Similarly, we detected noevidence of genetic recombination between individuals within different states, indicating that asexual cycles play a major role in M. musicola reproduction and that long-distance dispersal of the pathogen is the main factor contributing to the lack of population structure in the fungus.|

New Delhi, Apr 12 (ANI): Minister of State for Defence M M Pallam Raju on Thursday said there is no difference between the establishment and the armed forces, and added that the government is working in harmony with the three services.
When asked whether there is any role of an insider behind the leakage of Army Chief General V K Singh's letter, Pallam Raju said: " There is no difference between the establishment and the armed forces. We are working in harmony. I do not want to speculate on speculative reports."
Responding to a question on rapid modernisation of military infrastructure by the Chinese Army along its border with India, Pallam Raju said India is also acquiring capabilities and emphasized that all efforts are being made to upgrade the infrastructure.
"China's budget is four times that of India so they will definitely have larger resources to dedicate to that. But that does not mean that we are under-prepared in anyway. We are also gathering momentum in the way we are acquiring capabilities and the way we are building our infrastructure," he said.
When asked to comment on the purchase of Basic Trainer Aircraft (BTA) Pilatus for the Indian Air Force (IAF), Pallam Raju said: "There is a procedure for acquisition for anything; and because of the shortage of the trainer aircraft, the Pilatus would be processed as soon as possible (in the light of ) urgency of need for the trainer aircraft."
The Minister of State for Defence was talking to the media after inaugurating a national seminar of NCC here. (ANI)

HELSINKI – Finnish President Sauli Niinistö told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday that the non-aligned Nordic country with a long border and history with Russia “will decide in the next few days to apply for NATO membership” .
The Finnish head of state told Putin in a phone conversation how radically the security environment in Finland had changed following Moscow’s February 24 invasion of Ukraine, Niinisto’s office said in a statement, noting that Russia asked Finland not to seek accession NATO 30 – member of the Western military alliance.
“The discussions (with Putin) were straightforward, unambiguous, no exaggeration. It was considered important to avoid tensions,” said Niinisto, Finland’s president since 2012 and one of the few to have had regular talks with Putin over the past decade. one of the Western leaders.
Niinisto noted that he had told Putin at his first meeting in 2012 that “every independent country will maximize its own security”.
“This is still the case. By joining NATO, Finland will strengthen its own security and assume its responsibilities. This is not something that is far from anyone,” Niinisto said.
He stressed that despite Finland’s potential future NATO membership, it still wants to continue to deal bilaterally with Russia on “practical issues arising from border neighbours” and wants to engage with Moscow “in a professional manner”.
Niinisto’s office said the call was made on the initiative of Finland. The statement did not reveal any comment from Putin or the Kremlin on the conversation.
Finland’s 1,340-kilometer (830-mile) border with Russia is the longest of any EU member state.
Niinisto and Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin shared their support for Finland’s membership in NATO on Thursday and suggested that Finland “must apply to join NATO immediately” in the event of Russian military exercises in Ukraine and changes in the geopolitical and security landscape in Europe safeguard national security.
Niinisto and Marin are expected to formally announce Finland’s intention to apply for NATO membership on Sunday, a day after Marin’s ruling Social Democratic Party may support it.
Neighboring Sweden will decide on its NATO position on Sunday at a meeting of the ruling Social Democratic Party led by Prime Minister Magdalena Anderson.
U.S. President Joe Biden held a joint conference call with Niinisto and Anderson on Friday, where, according to a White House statement, he “emphasized his open-door policy toward NATO and that Finland and Sweden determine their own futures, foreign policy and security arrangements. .”

America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, an explorer from Italy who was born in 1454. A German mapmaker gave Vespucci this honor. The mapmaker didn’t believe Christopher Columbus was the first European to reach the “New World” in 1492. At the time, Columbus himself wasn’t even sure. He thought he had arrived at islands off the coast of Asia, not the New World. Meanwhile, Vespucci claimed1 to have reached the continent of South America in 1497. Because of his claim, the mapmaker named the new lands America after Vespucci in 1507. The name spread throughout Europe and stuck. People started using it for South America, North America, and later the United States of America.
Today, many scholars2 doubt whether Vespucci explored America before Columbus. They believe that Vespucci was wrongly given the honor. He explored South America, but it was probably years after Columbus already had. Perhaps, if the mapmaker favored Columbus, America would have been called Columbia. Better yet, if the Vikings had been acknowledged3 as the first Europeans to reach the New World (which they were), the land could have been named after them.
Vespucci claimed to have reached South America four times. After his death, scholars looked into his records and found little evidence4 to support some of his claims. They also found out that Vespucci lied about leading the voyages. He was never the captain on any of his trips. Questions: Vikings & European Explorers – Amerigo Vespucci

Staten Island Worker Compensation for Independent Contractors
REQUEST A FREE CONSULTATION
Experienced Workers' Compensation Lawyers for Independent Contractors
With the rise of contract-based employment, many individuals in today’s workforce may question whether New York State provides workers’ compensation benefits for independent contractors. Generally, independent contractors are not eligible for workers’ compensation benefits since they are considered self-employed, acting as both employers and employees. However, the classification of independent contractors under New York State laws is intricate, and in some cases, individuals who aren’t traditional W-2 employees may still be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits.
If you’re an independent contractor in Staten Island and have sustained injuries while performing your job duties, reach out to Gabriel Legal Injury Lawyers at (212) 463-8888. Our workers’ compensation attorneys will assess your case at no charge to determine your eligibility for benefits. If you’ve been denied workers’ compensation for any reason, we’re here to provide assistance.
Factors Influencing Independent Contractor Status
To qualify for workers’ compensation, an employer-employee relationship must exist. Even if you receive a 1099 form, New York State courts may consider you an “employee” if the employer exercises any control over the time, manner, or method of your work.
When determining whether a worker is an independent contractor or an employee, courts consider various factors, including:
Method of payment received
Length of employment
Selection of materials and tools
Control over working hours
Intent of the work contract
Employer’s authority to hire and fire
Independent Contractor vs. Employee: Real-Life Case Example
In the case of Golash v. Cherokee Cab Co., the Georgia Court of Appeal deliberated on whether a cab driver qualified as an employee and was entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. The court employed the “right to control” test, which evaluated whether the employer had the authority to control and direct the cab driver’s work based on the employment contract.
Staten Island Worker Compensation Practice Areas
Our ultimate goal is to secure a settlement or verdict that enhances your quality of life and provides for future treatment. Therefore, we will diligently pursue the maximum appropriate compensation through negotiations or trial.
INJURED? LET US HELP
Key Facts Of The Case Were As Follows:
- The employer could dictate the driver’s work schedule.
- The employer determined the duration of shifts and when work should end for the day.
- The employer had the power to terminate employment if the driver did not comply with directives.
Based on the evidence presented, the Court determined that since the employer exercised control over the “time, manner, or method” of the driver’s work, the driver should be classified as an employee and thus eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.
If your employer claims that you’re an independent contractor and not entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, it is crucial to establish that the employer exercises control over your working hours and the manner in which you complete your tasks. Consult a work injury attorney at Gabriel Legal Injury Lawyers in Staten Island for guidance.

Determining Liability in an Staten Island Personal Injury Claim
Identifying all potential defendants who may be liable for a personal injury requires a thorough investigation. If someone else failed to exercise due care, they can be held responsible for the resulting injuries.
It’s essential to recognize that the person directly responsible for the accident may not be the sole party held liable. For instance, in a drunk driving auto accident, not only the intoxicated driver but also the individual who served alcohol to the visibly intoxicated person could be held responsible.
By carefully assessing the circumstances, an experienced personal injury attorney can determine the parties who may be held accountable in your specific case.
The sooner you contact a personal injury attorney in Staten Island after an accident, the easier it will be to collect evidence.Having a clear understanding of the negligence laws in your state is crucial when pursuing a personal injury claim. Your attorney will play a crucial role in proving fault in your case. While some states follow “no-fault” laws, it’s important to note that New York does not fall into this category.
It’s important to understand that even if you bear some responsibility for the accident, you may still be eligible for compensation. It’s important to note that New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule, which means that even if a plaintiff is deemed to be more than 50% at fault, they can still recover damages. The amount of compensation they receive will be reduced by their assigned percentage of fault.

WEM: Kickoff at Gartner Summit Las Vegas
WEM is excited to demonstrate our groundbreaking no-code real-time application process modeling platform at Gartner’s Application Strategies & Solutions Summit at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, NV (4 – 6 December 2017).
WEM CEO Rob Schilperoort: “The current code and low-code infrastructures limit businesses in their agility”. WEM no-code process automation disrupts the way enterprise level applications are traditionally developed. The WEM Platform as a Service (PaaS) includes drag and drop modeling characteristics, which requires no coding expertise. “Modeling applications with WEM greatly increases leadership capabilities and competence across all layers of enterprises and SMBs” Schilperoort explains. This way expensive developers or programmers become redundant. WEM enables its users to custom build (mobile) applications up to 10 times faster than traditional methods, reducing costs tremendously. Using WEM ultimately results in greater workflow efficiencies and significantly improved business agility.
Market analysts predict that no-code/low-code PaaS will account for over 50% of all software development by 2020-2022. First developed in the Netherlands, WEM already has numerous enterprise success stories in Europe. With the no code trend in mind, Stewart Hair, Principal of WEM Modeler North America, sees great potential for WEM in the US: “The WEM platform is an impressive product that offers disruptive opportunities for US Enterprise Organizations”. Having successfully introduced WEM to the European market, the international market is ready for this innovative new technology.
Developing applications without code in real time in just minutes? Seeing is believing! We will be more than happy to give you a peek into our world of our endless no-code possibilities. Come and find us at booth 105 at the Gartner Application Strategies & Solutions Summit 2017, Las Vegas, NV (4 – 6 December 2017).
WEM is a no-code Application Platform as a Service, first launched in the Netherlands in September 2015. With WEM, you simply model your process in a flowchart and the platform generates a fully functional application for you. Building applications with WEM is up to 10 times faster than traditional development and requires a different skillset, that is a lot cheaper and easier to find compared to developers.

The clergy had their own parliament, the Convocation, and the higher clergy were elected on the nomination of the Pope. However, the king also had a say in the matter, for he rewarded his clerics in the government service by giving them higher and more lucrative positions in the Church. The English bishops had their mansions in London and they either attended the king or acted as his ambassadors abroad. The higher clergymen then performed the functions of higher civil servants in the state and that was natural in an age when they were the only learned people.
Beheading was the punishment reserved for noblemen who had been convicted of high treason. Hanging took place at Tyburn (where Marble Arch stands now), while the scene of beheading was the Tower. Offenders about to be hanged were taken from their prisons to Tyburn on an open cart with a rope round their necks. The skulls of the beheaded noblemen were fixed to stakes and displayed on London Bridge. Death, bloody death, was a common sight. People flocked to watch scenes of hanging with the same zest as they saw spectacles of bear-baiting.
This was sometimes an important social event in the life of a borough and some guilds, like those of Coventry and Chester, had their chief annual festival on the day they performed their play. Such, in brief, was the social picture of England in the Middle Ages. The king, the barons or peers of the realm and the bishops or peers of the Church ruled over the land and the whole system 30 BACKGROUND TO SHAKESPEARE was one of a rigid hierarchy and oflegal subordination of villeins to lords. Among the villagers and townspeople corporate life was all-important, as can be seen in their submission to the Church and to the medieval guild.

It is a sad, sad day. The star I most admire has gone to this??? He's better than that. Though I know he is not really gay, playing the role adds to the further influence to society that being gay is okay..when its not. I hope this is the only movie on this subject he participates in. So sad.

Got summer on the brain? Now is the time to get the boat ready.
Boating season is here and many Arizonans are getting eager to pull their watercraft from storage to start preparing for sunny days out on the water. Many already have, but it’s not too late to check over these tips.
To ensure a safe and successful start to 2018, the Arizona Game and Fish Department recommends that boaters thoroughly inspect and prepare their boats before launching on the water to help prevent potential problems.There are seven key steps to inspecting a boat or personal watercraft and preparing for the season:
Fuel system —
Check the fuel system for any leaks or damages. Give special attention to any fuel lines and connections. Damaged fuel hoses could either be cracked, brittle or soft. Also ensure the engine exhaust and ventilation systems are functioning properly. Before starting the engine, open the engine cover and smell for the presence of fuel vapor. Leave the engine cover off when first starting to inspect for proper functioning of the engine.
Belts, cables and hoses —
As with fuel lines, inspect all belts, cables and hoses that may have been damaged while in storage. Inactive items can become brittle and may crack. Ensure belts are fitted tightly and that there are no cracks on the outer jacket of the throttle, shift and steering control cables.
Electric system —
Inspect all electrical connections to ensure they are clean, tight and corrosion free. All electrical systems should be regularly inspected by a qualified technician.
Fluid levels —
Check all fluid levels including engine oil, power steering, power trim reservoirs and engine coolant. Also be sure to change the engine oil, oil filter and drive lubricants.
Propellers and hulls —
Ensure propellers are free of dings, pitting, cracks and distortion, and that they are secured properly. On the hull, inspect for blisters, distortions and cracks. Also make sure the vessel’s drain plug is in place before launching.
Safety gear —
Check to ensure all life jackets are in good condition and that they are the right size and fit for your passengers. On average in Arizona, life jackets should be replaced every five years. State law requires that anyone 12 and under must wear a life jacket at all times when the vessel is underway and there should be one life jacket aboard for every passenger. In addition, a throw-able flotation device — usually a cushion with handles or a ring buoy — is required for all watercraft longer than 16 feet, except for canoes and kayaks. Also check to ensure the fire extinguisher is fully charged and stowed in the proper location.
Take a safety course —
The Arizona Game and Fish Department offers free courses in Phoenix and Lake Havasu City every month to provide boaters with information and tips needed to stay safe while on the water.
For more information on boating safety or to register for a hands-on or online safety course, visit www.azgfd.gov/boating.


Trump claims only an ‘Olympic champion’ could climb over his 30ft border wall
- Trump took questions from reporters from the Oval Office on Christmas Day
- He said the Mexico-US border wall would be ‘very high’, as high as 30ft
- ‘There may be the case of an Olympic champion who can get over the wall,’ he said, adding that it would be nearly impossible for an immigrant to scale it
- Trump said he is aiming to have the wall completed by Election Day in 2020
President Trump insists that those trying to enter the US from Mexico illegally won’t stand a chance against his border wall – that is, unless they’re an Olympic athlete.
Speaking from the Oval Office on Christmas Day, Trump said he’s already begun building the southern border wall, and it would be ‘very high,’ as high as 30 feet in some areas, making it impractical for most illegal immigrants to scale it.
‘There may be the case of an Olympic champion who can get over the wall,’ Trump told reporters. ‘But for the most part, you’re not able to do it.’
Trump took questions from reporters from the Oval Office on Christmas Day, saying the Mexico-US border wall would be as high as 30ft
Trump was at the White House this week, having cancelled his Florida holiday to be in Washington for the duration of the partial shutdown.
Some 800,000 federal workers have been affected by the shutdown. They have either been asked to work without pay or take an unpaid leave of absence for the duration of the dispute.
After he addressed members of the military on Christmas, he took questions on the border wall.
‘It’s going to be 30 feet, much of it is 30 feet high,’ Trump said. ‘Some of it’s lower, but in some areas we have it as high as 30 feet. That’s like a three-story building.
‘So we’re making great progress on renovation, on fixing, and we’re making great progress on building new wall and most excitingly, we gave out our largest section yesterday and that work is starting next week.’
It was not immediately clear where in Texas the president is building his wall, as none of the legislation that has been approved since he took office explicitly gives him permission to build a brand new barrier on as much land as he says the contracts cover.
He is promoting a ‘steel slats’ fencing design, pictured is the US border fence seen from Tijuana, Mexico
There, he harped that Senate Democrats working against his wall had favored fencing — until he called it a wall and ran for office
He has permission to build and replace fencing in some areas and is asking for unfettered authority and at least $5 billion in taxpayer funds to complete the construction project.
The president said in the Oval Office on Tuesday that he is aiming to have 500 to 550 miles of wall either renovated or completed by Election Day in 2020.
He also claimed that he’s getting $25 billion from Congress for border security that has already been approved. Any legislation that contained money for border security like what Trump was describing has not passed Congress, however.
‘That’s for everything,’ Trump said of the larger pot on Tuesday morning. ‘Plus we have some wall money in there. But, we want the wall money to be increased. Because I want to finish it.’
Trump said a day prior that the $25billion his administration is seeking for border security is not the same as the money he’s seeking for the border wall. The White House last said it was seeking somewhere between $1.6 billion and $5 billion for just the border wall.
Trump said he is aiming to have the wall completed by Election Day in 2020

Is Two Billion Pounds Of Almonds Enough?
Posted On May 11, 2012
Since the National Agricultural Statistic Service (NASS) announced its May subjective estimate of 2 billion pounds for the 2012 crop, some are worried that it is too much. Only in the last five years has the almond industry grown beyond 1 billion pounds, but in this dynamic growth industry, with demand greater than ever, I believe 2 billion pounds is not enough.
California almond shipments continue to accelerate! Our industry is shipping 15 percent more almonds YTD compared with the multi-year trend of 13 percent annual growth. This year’s record crop supported the acceleration in sales growth with innovation absorbing the additional supply. Globally, there were nearly 2,000 new almond products launched last year — far more than any other tree nut. In addition to great taste and health benefits, consistency of supply, aggressive food safety strategies and the relative value of almonds for major food companies are driving new product preferences for almonds around the globe.
Almond production is at record levels, but barely keeping pace with demand growth. Incredibly, this year, California will successfully absorb a 400 million pound crop increase in a single year! With late harvests in 2010 and 2011, the almond industry learned that seven to eight weeks of carryout inventory on hand was insufficient to cover September and October demand. As a result, prices have consistently risen throughout the year.
If the 2012 crop is 2 billion pounds and demand growth falls to only 10 percent, our on-hand inventory will drop to unsupportable levels. We anticipate pricing for the 2012 crop will need to increase over 2011 to bring supply and demand into alignment.
Clearly, 2 billion pounds is not enough!

Chinese authorities have told all crypto mining to stop, citing speculation risk and power consumption concerns. The move has hurt the share prices of Bitcoin and others.
23 Jun 2021
The price of Bitcoin dropped below the all-important $30,000-mark after China made several moves to rein in the cryptocurrency. The fall could trigger a sell-off, but experts say China isn't as important as it once was.
28 Jun 2021
What's up with Bitcoin? It's down, dropping to its lowest level since January after China announced a crackdown on cryptocurrency mining. Is it, as stated, about going green and cooling it in the nation that's home to an estimated two-thirds of the energy-sucking giant computer servers that create virtual currencies? Or is it about reining in a cottage industry that is out of not only Beijing's control, but that of central banks and regulators the world over?

Malaysian police have hit on a novel way to dispose of more than 1,000 bitcoin-mining machines seized in raids -- crushing the devices using a steamroller.

El Salvador has become the first country in the world to make Bitcoin legal tender, despite surveys showing widespread scepticism about the move. The government has invested more than $20 million in the cryptocurrency in recent days, saying it will open up access to banking for many Salvadorans. Bitcoin will be accepted for payments in parallel with the US dollar. Also today, millions of Americans have lost their unemployment benefits as several pandemic-era welfare programmes have expired.
11 Sep 2021
The value of Bitcoin has plunged by more than 10 percent after El Salvador on Tuesday became the first country in the world to accept the cryptocurrency as legal tender. The launch was marred by protests and technical difficulties with the digital wallet app, which had to be taken offline for several hours. Also today, we report on tourism businesses in the southwest of France that have benefitted from the recent spell of good weather, which has prolonged their summer season.

On 7 September 2021, El Salvador became the first country to embrace bitcoin as legal tender. Consumer demand saw its brand-new cyber wallet system crash on its first day of use as the currency's value seesawed against the US dollar. While thousands of Salvadorans are already using the cryptocurrency for everyday transactions, hundreds have taken to the streets to protest with concerns about the safety and legitimacy of the cyber currency.

My friend, Perry Gamsby, has spent nearly 20 years experiencing the Philippines. He has been involved in several businesses including a bar on Malapscua island and the family piggery, been involved with property purchases, lived in the city and in the boondocks, worked plotting sites of interest for Philippines EZ maps, worked for an advertising company and has appeared in promotional videos. Perry is an expert in the Filipino martial art, ARNIS, and has taken part in competitions in the Philippines. He has experienced the schooling system, medical system, transport system and life in general throughout the Philippines. Perry has been in out of love many times but is now happily married to a beautiful Filipina and has several children.
I have visited Perry when he was living in the boondocks. I have visited Perry when he was living in the city, where he conned me into helping paint a new boat he was building. In 2005, Perry and I got together to make a video about dealing with traffic in Cebu City. It is called DEFENSIVE DRIVING and is on page 2 of my videos.

One of our first stops when the 2015 SEMA Show began was the Toyota press conference, and we were a bit surprised at just how many rad cars they had to show. The automaker invited back Top Gear host Rutledge Wood to help unveil the cars. Without cars like the Supra, Celica, or MR2 one might think Toyota is getting soft - but the builds unveiled told a different story.
A particular build that floored us was the Toyota Sienna R-Tuned Concept. As the name suggests, it's a van that's much more fun than a family hauler. Toyota Technical Center collaborated with DG-Spec to modify the Sienna SE with upgraded tires, wheels, brakes, suspension, and a limited slip differential. The 3.5L V6 engine remains untouched, however, with the few modifications, Toyota claims it can outrun a Chevrolet Camaro SS.
Toyota also unveiled five SEMA Edition TRD vehicles, but the three you care about are probably the Corolla, Camry, and Land Cruiser. All three models get a sporty TRD exhaust, stiff TRD suspension, aggressive TRD performance wheels, and dope TRD embroidered seats.
We couldn't ignore the '16 Tacoma that Toyota recreated based on the famous 4x4 from Back To The Future. The exterior was designed with vintage cues, including mud flaps from a 1985 truck, old-school headlight design, KC HiLites, and even 1985 Toyota Truck exterior paint.
Just outside, Toyota had a TRD parts display and a few classic Toyotas that you'd normally see in the Southern California show circuit, including Nick Stonawaski's Toyota Supra and Janet Fujimoto's Toyota Crown, as well as her immaculate Toyota Corolla GT-S. Safe to say, Toyota did not disappoint this year. We can only hope the TRD cars will go past concept phase. Stay tuned for more 2015 SEMA coverage.


M51 ZASTAVA COMBAT KNIFE
This knife is m51 fighting knife based on russian f. knifes.. It was used by officers and special forces (paratroopers,diversants..) with rifles without bayonets (mostly SMGs). It was in use until early 70s.. Then all this knife was removed from army and introduced in TO (teritorijalna obrana -
It is a parade bayonete and have been used by JNA "Garda" (Tito's personal security) units during 1973 and 1974 in few hundred peaces. In 1974 it was replaced with standard yugo m70 bayonet. Later in 1977 they were in free sale for civilians in Crvena Zastava hunting shops.
Second type. Non-
Basic Zastava, peaked handle with steep guard slope.


It’s called “cutting the cord.” A decade ago, few understood the phrase. Today, from house phones to cable television, more people are doing it.
But what about in the workplace? Can “cutting the cord” help change the way we work?
“The traditional 9-5 working day of driving to an office, sitting in a cubicle for hours and then forgetting all about work at the end of the day is all but extinct,” BetaNews reports.
“Thanks to telecommuting and the rise of millennials on the workplace, employees are now able to work from pretty much anywhere at any time of day, with little or no disruption or sacrifice in productivity.”
Indeed, a BroadSoft study looking at the “future of work” notes that: “Millennials have grown up with technology at their fingertips, and they are quick to bring their preferences to the workplace. While other demographic groups have been convinced of the merits of a cloud-based delivery model, for Millennials it is a more “natural” choice and solidly in their wheelhouse. It should be no surprise that as they have begun to move into management positions and make business-impacting decisions, cloud adoption is accelerating across organizations of all sizes.”
Indeed, to cut the cord and give workers greater flexibility to manage how and where they get things done, “migrating fixed phone lines to non-geographic numbers via the cloud is often the first step,” reports City AM.
Adds BroadSoft: “Employees are ‘going rogue’ when it comes to what applications and services they are using for business communication and collaboration. Business phones are actually fading in relevance – a new approach beyond ‘just voice’ is clearly needed.”
Besides the immediate efficiency gains, another reason businesses may want to consider cloud communications – it’s not just Millennials who use them. Increasingly, college students and even teenagers – tomorrow’s workforce – are cutting the cord.
In fact, at the University of Washington, a strategy to leverage these communications is picking up speed. As Roland Rivera, director network strategy and telecommunications for the university, told EdTech. "Our goal is to provide these capabilities campus-wide.


MTN Zambia gives callers more time
TELECOMS| June 5, 2012, 12:14 p.m.
By Edith Mwale, Lusaka, Zambia
In the face of stiff competition in Zambia’s mobile market, MTN Zambia has launched yet another promotion. Its newest offering, dubbed 15 Extra Time, will give registered subscribers 15 minutes free calling time every day.
Currently, the country’s three mobile operators are engaged in promotion wars in a bid to keep and attract more customers on their networks. The new MTN promotion is the latest in the series of promotions that the company has been running over the past year.
MTN is the country’s second largest telecom network after Airtel, with close to three million subscribers. Airtel has just over four million subscribers but MTN has promised to catch up.
The MTN 15 Extra Time promotion will run from June 4 to 31 August, 2012, and requires customers to register for the promotion. The promotion is open to all MTN Prepaid, Postpaid and Hybrid customers
The only condition for the promotion is that registered customers are required to spend up to ZMK500 on rechargeable voice calls (on-net, off-net and international) to receive the first five free minutes for call to MTN Zambia numbers.
However, the free minutes can only be used for MTN to MTN calls. Customers can make use of the free minutes at any time of the day before the expiry of the minutes at midnight every day.
The country’s third largest network, Zamtel, is also running a promotion dubbed 6to6 Amplified, which gives customers 90 free minutes to call Zamtel mobile and landline numbers for only ZMK1, 500.

A Night of Glamour in the Desert
Corrigan, who recently celebrated her birthday in Beverly Hills, embraced a daring and glamorous look for her desert adventure.

The United Arab Emirates’ first nuclear reactor should start commercial operations this year, an official from South Korea, whose power company is building it, said on Tuesday.
The Korean official, who declined to be named due to briefing rules, was speaking after sources told Reuters last week the start-up had been pushed back to 2019 due to training delays.
The first of four reactors being built by Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) in the UAE is part of the $24.4bn Barakah power plant project and was originally scheduled to open last year.
“We aim to start the commercial operation by the end of 2018 … but the exact final completion date will be announced by ENEC (Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation),” the official, speaking through a translator, told Reuters in Dubai.
KEPCO is doing its best to get the reactor operational this year but there are still “some procedures to complete”, the official said without elaborating.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who ends a four-day visit to the UAE on Tuesday, attended a ceremony on Monday to celebrate the completion of the first reactor.
South Korea aims to complete all four reactors by 2020 with the final decision resting with the UAE, the official said.
KEPCO and Barakah One, itself a joint venture between ENEC and KEPCO, signed an agreement on Monday to cooperate and jointly enter third countries, the official said.
The World Nuclear Association estimates that nuclear power is planned in over 20 countries which do not currently have it, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Bangladesh.

The Dress for Jess was created with our friend Jessica in mind. She loves to wear a pretty frock but she likes it to be just right. Not too tight but showing her figure. Natural fibres so her body can breathe. We set about creating a small but beautiful collection of Divine Dresses with goddesses like Jessica in mind.
The Dress for Jess is the best one for her. Rayon jersey hangs so well on the body. We love the way it drapes and falls against the skin. Divine and delicious.
The neckline is pretty and the shoestring straps show just the right amount of skin.
We have given this dress a split on the side and added our beloved Lotus Flowers there. 3 of them in fact. Golden in colour and golden in energy. The Lotus Flower helps us to remember that new beginnings are just around the corner and we can create them ourselves with a little work on the mat.
The waist tie is easy to wear and perfect for all the changing days we goddesses experience. Never too tight on a tummy day but just right when you are feeling at your best.
This dress is easy to wear during the day and just as perfect for a summer evening. Looking good and feeling comfortable is what we embrace at Divine Goddess and there are so many of you that agree with us.
Please wash this dress gently and we always recommend drying under the suns rays. All that is needed as far as we are concerned.

(Crain's) — A joint venture is going forward with plans to build a landing facility in the Illinois Medical District for helicopters and vertical-takeoff aircraft.
After completing its due diligence, Afco Nighthawk Vertiport LLC — a combined venture of Afco Inc. of Dulles, Va., and Hoffman Estates-based Nighthawk Services LLC — told the Illinois Medical District Commission last week it intends to finance and construct a “vertiport” on a 10-acre parcel bounded by Hastings, Wood and 15th streets and the CTA Pink Line, Afco CEO Charles Stipancic said in an email.
The facility will be free for medical use by the four hospitals in the district and earn revenue from corporate, private and commercial customers, Sam Pruett, the commission's executive director, has said. The commission will lease the land for the facility, which would include storage areas for aircraft, fueling equipment and parking, according to project documents issued in 2010. The landing area will be designed for helicopters and vertical-takeoff planes such as the Bell/Augusta BA609 Tiltrotor.
The vertiport project is one of four properties the medical district commission hopes will generate enough lease revenue to service $40 million in debt it issued in 2006.
The commission, which is charged with promoting health- and medical-related development in the 560-acre district on the West Side, had to scrap two projects for financial reasons and another due to community objections. It then replaced them with others, including the air center and a Costco Wholesale Corp. store.
For more, read Illinois Medical District on a debt march.
The Robin Dean Heliport, which sits across the street from the old Cook County Hospital building just off the Eisenhower Expressway, is currently available for emergency medical transports by the hospitals in the district, which include Rush University Medical Center, the University of Illinois Medical Center, Stroger Hospital and the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center.
That facility handles about 20 emergency medical flights per month, according to the commission.
Mr. Pruett did not respond to requests for comment. Michael Conklin, who will lead the project for Nighthawk Services, declined to comment.
Corporate and other commercial helicopter owners would welcome a “full-service verticraft facility” close to downtown Chicago, said Edward Forst, president of the Chicago Area Business Aviation Association. Corporate high-flyers had used Meigs Field near McCormick Place until 2003, when Mayor Richard M. Daley demolished its runway.
Afterward, some companies sold their helicopters, while other opted to use Midway International Airport, which has proven less convenient, said Mr. Forst, whose organization has supported a vertiport since the idea was raised in 2006. Association members includes companies from the Chicago suburbs, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
“These are companies for which a helicopter makes a lot of sense to get into town,” he said. “They're pleading to get something going.”

A study shows that since the Trump administration declared the COVID-19 crisis a national emergency, federal officials have been busy cutting environmental regulations.
A review by the Denver-based Center for Western Priorities found that since the executive order was issued, the Interior Department and its agencies have issued 57 separate policy actions affecting public lands in Arizona and across the West.
Aaron Weiss, the center’s deputy director, says since March 6, officials have rolled back regulations on oil and gas leasing, removed protections for endangered wildlife, and expanded mining operations.
“They opened or closed 34 separate public comment periods,” Weiss points out. “They finalized nine different final actions. They held eight oil and gas lease sales across the country. So, it really is a breathtaking pace.”
Weiss adds that during that time, agency officials took no steps to close national parks or protect visitors and agency employees from exposure.
Interior officials say they followed all applicable notification and public comment laws in issuing new rules.
Weiss says Interior Secretary David Bernhardt acted despite requests from local elected officials and members of Congress that the agency suspend rule-making during the pandemic.
“They know that the clock is ticking,” Weiss states. “At some point in May or June is going to be the 60-day deadline, after which any actions that the Interior Department takes will be potentially revocable by a future Congress.”
As a result, one Arizona-based group has filed a lawsuit against the Bureau of Land Management for failing to protect the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area from livestock grazing.
Dr. Robin Silver, a physician and co-founder of the Center for Biological Diversity says the BLM’s acting administrator, William Perry Pendley, is an ex-lobbyist for ranching interests.
“The guy that’s running the BLM now, he’s spent his whole life trying to destroy any regulations on the cow grazing industry by BLM,” Silver points out. “And now he runs them.”
The San Pedro riparian area in southern Arizona is home to several protected or endangered species, and also is the traditional territory of several Native American tribes.
