The Benefits of Going Digital with Your Business Documents
Running a business that depends on cumbersome paper documents can lead to misplaced files and lower productivity rates. Fortunately, document management software can make instant file retrieval, online collaboration, and better security within your company possible.
Some of the most basic things that document managing software does to encourage business organization revolve around providing a consistent digital record. That may mean scanning different types of documents and displaying them in consistent ways or collecting a range of digital data from different parts of a software architecture and archiving them in the correct format. For example, business organization software tools may sort data from spreadsheets or PDFs into a data warehouse or central repository for easy retrieval.
With software dedicated to document management, any of your employees can log onto your system and locate a file without needing to be technologically savvy. Usually, only a few seconds are required to search for and retrieve files, and the time saved can increase your employees' productivity and pad your profits.
In addition, you can easily recreate your own filing system electronically by modifying the program's templates and taking advantage of import features. These tools can copy files from your hard drive or network and transfer them onto the new system with little fuss.
The software will also give your employees the ability to collaborate on documents in an organized fashion. They can log onto your system from any location so that they can create or instantly modify files with input from others on their team.
Some collaborations can be done in real time, with contributions being attributed to original authors. You may be able to monitor their progress every step of the way, which can be beneficial for the completion of time-sensitive documents, or files that depend on accurate conveyance of information.
Securing your business documents is always a good idea, but with document management software, you'll be able to keep your files extra-safe. It's not uncommon for software solutions to have several security layers that let you control who sees your documents. You may be able to encode or lock files, folders, or the system itself, with the click of a button. Viewing and editing privileges can be granted to individual employees or groups that you predefine within the system.
Other benefits include:
- Automatic routing of documents as they come in and go out
- Eliminating the mounting ink and paper costs
- Minimizing the likelihood of lost documents
In addition, with electronic document filing software, there is far less of a hassle when filing taxes and responding to IRS audits.Ready to Compare Document Management Software Price Quotes?

Spoilers for The OC
I stopped watching The OC some time ago, but unfortunately I live in a house where two others are rabid fans. It wasn't that I didn't love Julie; I did. Nothing slowed that woman for very long. But I could never stand her daughter, Marissa.
Marissa is the most self-absorbed female currently on television; at least Susan Myers can occasionally admit she was wrong (although pitting Marissa Cooper against Joey Potter could prove interesting"¦). Early in season one, she somehow manages to hold her next-door neighbour Ryan responsible for her boyfriend Luke cheating on her, even though Ryan had spent the few weeks he'd known her trying to tell her Luke was bad news. A warped case of shoot the messenger, perhaps?
Then, when Ryan and Marissa get together, after a few weeks Marissa tells Ryan she loves him. Ryan reacted the same way I would have such a situation where I was fond of a person but didn't love them, which was to thank her for the sentiment. Which Marissa gets super-upset over. Well, what did you expect after a few weeks? And what did want him to do? Lie?
Then she gets emotionally involved with a nutcase she meets through therapy. (Dude, that should have been your first clue.) When Ryan tells her he's bad news, she tells him he's jealous, and dumps him. When this guy turns out to be bad news, and Marissa is saved from a possible life-threatening situation thanks to Ryan's intervention, she's all "˜oh, thanks. Now we can be together again and forget it ever happened.' Yeah, because if someone had bailed on our relationship at the first sign on trouble, I'd want to get back with them.
This could have been an opportunity for Marissa to realise she fucked up, and the best she can hope for is Ryan's friendship. It would have been the mature thing to do; I didn't believe him when he was telling a truth I didn't want to hear, I deserve his complete lack of faith in me. But no, she just expects Ryan will forgive her and that will be the end of it. Because she's so perfect and unforgettable that nothing she does is truly wrong.
Skip forward to season two, and Marissa's gotten involved in a weird friendship/relationship with Ryan's brother Trey. Trey is, once again, bad news. He pursues attractive women, especially attractive women who pursue him. Marissa's behaviour, although no doubt justified by her as being friendly and welcoming, is no less subtle in her "˜come on over' signals then a bitch in heat, and all comes to a head when he attempts to rape her. Now, I am not saying she was asking for it. But if there ever was a textbook case of a woman blindly ignoring all the warning signals and walking into a situation where a man felt he was entitled to make a move, that was it. I could see where Trey was coming from – even if I didn't agree with him – when he said Marissa had been asking for it (at least to a point where he felt justified in coming onto her), and I have a pretty low tolerance for that kind of excuse. It's women/characters like Marissa who allow the boundaries to get very blurred and then get indignant that men cross a line they weren't aware existed that makes rape such a difficult thing to prosecute. She wanted it. She was asking for it. She had it coming.
Season three. Marissa's going to a different school to Ryan, and she gets emotionally involved with another guy. She complains that Ryan doesn't get her when this other guy does; well, if he gets you so much, then break up with Ryan and go out with him, but don't string them both along.
I guess it's easy when Marissa never physically cheats; she never so much as kissed Ryan when she was with Luke, kissed Trey, kissed any of the other guys she got involved with when she was with Ryan. The only guy she's ever actually 'with' is several months after she and Ryan have broken up. But always, she got involved in a deep emotional relationship, which most would call cheating on some level. But maybe it's different for Mary Sues; they can string along as many guys as they want
The other guy ends up dying, and Marissa mourns him very publicly, and someone manages to put the blame on Ryan once again. If I were Ryan, I'd find someone else. Marissa is a self-absorbed brat who is unable to see anything that goes wrong in her life as in any way her fault. Maybe if all the people in her life abandoned her she might get a clue.
To be fair, Marissa doesn't exactly have shining examples for parents. Her father Jimmy is something of a fraud and absentee parent, and her mother Julie, although she tries at times to understand Marissa, is somewhat self-serving. And it's not like Marissa makes much of an effort to have a relationship with Julie, either. But loads of people got a raw deal when it came to their parents, at least Marissa's love her, even if they have a strange way of showing it at times. I have friends who've shown more love and forgiveness towards family members that molested them then Marissa does her parents, and I don't think this is so much an illustration of their still being victims trapped in abusive relationships as Marissa's refusal to think of herself as anything other then the victim of everyone else's wrongdoings. The girl seriously needs to grow up. I wonder what it would take?
I'm off to read Scarlett again. There is a woman who learned from her mistakes, however painful.

kanalaritja: An Unbroken String
Opens 09-12-2016, closes 21-05-2017
Argyle Gallery 4
kanalaritja: An Unbroken String will offer the Australian public a unique glimpse into shell stringing, one of the most culturally significant and closely guarded traditions of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community. This Community journey has never before been the focus of a touring exhibition, nor comprehensively documented in a dedicated publication.
The exhibition will feature a variety of beautiful, delicate and rare works evidencing the stringing skills of Tasmanian Aboriginal Ancestors in the 1800s, the continuation, innovation and expansion of the practice by women on the Furneaux Islands in Bass Strait during the early 20th century, acclaimed makers of today as well as a new wave of stringers who had the opportunity to learn the tradition through the luna tunapri (women's knowledge) cultural revitalisation project.
kanalaritja: An Unbroken String is a culmination of this journey of resilience and revitalisation – a testament to one of the oldest continuous cultural practices of Tasmanian Aborigines that, like the Community, has endured, survived and proudly asserts a continuing presence and diversity.
Shell stringing is one of the only practices that not only withstood the impacts of colonisation but adapted and evolved to include intricate and delicate patterns of numerous shell types and most recently the artistic inclusion of other natural materials such as kelp, furs and echidna quills. The lives and practices of key makers will be threaded through the exhibition to tie together the themes of resilience, continuity, identity and revitalisation.
Following its showing at TMAG, kanalaritja will tour to Melbourne, Canberra, Albany, Geraldton, Adelaide, Darwin, Toowoomba, Grafton, Sydney and Launceston throughout 2017-19.

Given the proliferation of running back committees and the extra reliance on the pass in the modern NFL a stud fantasy running back is a commodity of rare value. There is a reason why the first three picks of your NFL draft were likely (in some order) Adrian Peterson, Jaamal Charles, LeSean McCoy. As the season progresses though new names rise to prominence. One of the more surprising names is Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw.
Surprise Package
Before the season started the injury prone Bradshaw was the number two running back in Indianapolis, albeit behind Trent Richardson. Furthermore, with Andrew Luck leading the offense it seemed unlikely that Bradshaw as the number two back
would get enough carries to be relevant in fantasy terms.
Related articles

- NFL fantasy football: The art of rotating your defense
As things transpired though none of this mattered to Ahmad Bradshaw and his fantasy value. After seven weeks of fantasy and NFL football Bradshaw is the sixth highest coring running back in ESPN standard scoring with 87 fantasy points. Richardson is the 19th highest scoring with 58 points.
That's a difference of 13 places in the running back rankings and 29 points. With figures like that you would expect to see Bradshaw way ahead of Richardson in the relevant stats. The story however, is not quite so simple.
Bradshaw v Richardson
Firstly, despite being the more impressive running back (Trent Richardson is at best an average NFL RB) Bradshaw is not getting more work then Richardson. Trent
Richardson has had more rushing carries than Bradshaw in every match save week five's win over the Baltimore Ravens. Furthermore, Richardson has rushed for slightly more yards, 358, to Bradshaws 336. Richardson also has two rushing touchdowns to Bradshaw's single effort.
The reason why Bradshaw is rated much more highly than Richardson is Bradshaw's yards per carry average. It is much better than Richardson's. Bradshaw averages 4.8 yards per carry whilst Richardson's average is a full 1.3 yards lower at 3.5. In fantasy terms though the difference between the pair is negliable in terms of rushing points. In fact Richardson has the slight edge.
Okay, you might say but this just means that Bradshaw must be kicking Richardson derrière in receiving yards. As it transpires this is not really the case either save in
one crucial area.
In the passing game Bradshaw has 24 receptions for 212 yards at an average of 8.8 yards per receptions. Richardson by contrast has 19 receptions for 173 yards at a slightly better 9.1 yards per carry.
Unpredictable scoring
39 receiving yards however, doesn't account for the difference in scoring between the pair. The difference between Richardson and Bradshaw comes from receiving touchdowns. Richardson has none so far this season. Bradshaw by contrast has six. Two in week two and one each in weeks 3,4 6 and 7.
Bradshaw's receiving touchdowns are what have made him a top 10 fantasy running back. The problem however, is that receiving touchdowns from a running back are inherently unpredictable.
Would anyone really be surprised if Bradshaw was to go the rest of the season without getting another one at all? The bigger shock is that he has managed to get so many in the first place. Prior to this season in eight seasons in the league Bradshaw has only managed three receiving touchdowns.
Couple this fluky stat with his injury history and Ahmad Bradshaw owners would be wise to sell high. Bradshaw's value is at its zenith right now and the decline in
fantasy production could be precipitous.

Jersey Boys theatre breaks from £99pp

A firm favourite among theatregoers, Jersey Boys London is a nostalgic night out celebrating the timeless tunes of The Four Seasons. More than just a tribute concert, follow the Jersey Boys from their humble beginnings to the height of stardom as one of the most successful bands in music history.
Meet the men behind the music — Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi — who started out singing under a street lamp on the streets of Newark, New Jersey.

Brilliantly upbeat with a whole lot of heart, the story of the Jersey Boys also has a darker edge. From stints in jail and run-ins with the Mafia, to bad debts and clashes of creativity, Jersey Boys is a gripping rags-to-riches tale that makes for one of the best nights out in London.
Bursting with smash-hit songs, this joyous jukebox musical will have your toes tapping from start to finish. Even those who've never heard of The Four Seasons will be familiar with their instantly recognisable catalogue of worldwide chart-toppers, including 'Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)', 'Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You' and 'Working My Way Back To You'.
'Oh What A Night' you'll have when you see Jersey Boys London at the Piccadilly Theatre.

"...a sharp jukebox musical, if not a smash hit ."
Holiday Extras review of Jersey Boys:
Buckle your seatbelts for you are in for a rollercoaster of a show. Jersey Boys is a fast-paced, rags-to-riches story that is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. Don't worry if you don't know much about the Four Seasons, because by the end of the show, you're sure to be a fan.
From the moment the show starts, you're instantly engaged by the French rap-remix of Oh What a Night, (titled Ces Soirees La). It's a fun and upbeat way to start the show, but it feels very out of place with the rest of the production. It has nothing to do with the show's themes, is a bit anachronistic when you consider the story set in the 60s, and sets a happy-go-lucky tone, which I felt jarred a bit with the opening prison scene that followed it.
What was it all about?
As the story unfolds, we get each act set to a season (spring through to winter) and each act is narrated by one of the band members, telling the story from their point of view and giving their thoughts on each scene. This starts with Tommy DeVito. His Italian-American accent is a bit overdone and with the gangster-esque setting, the first scenes reminded me of the Sopranos; something they themselves make a joke of on stage.
However, their 'gangster' world is really not that dark or sinister. You see DeVito and Nick Massi doing petty crimes to support their band, yo-yoing in and out of jail and getting involved with a guy who helps them fix their money troubles, but nothing near the Godfather level. A young Frankie Valli then joins their group and they get a few small gigs as a trio, but always under a different name. They decide they need a fourth person, but after a failed attempt, aren't sure who they can get. Eventually, they meet Bob Gaudio, a very young educated singer, songwriter and pianist who hits it off with Valli straight away. This causes tension and jealousy with DeVito that continues through the show. The story then shoots forward to the group naming themselves the Four Seasons after being kicked out of a venue of the same name, then to them getting their first hit and on to fame and stardom.
During all this, Frankie has got married and had kids, though never sees them now he's on tour. Subsequently, his relationship with his family disintegrates and leads to divorce. DeVito ends up a gambler and gets himself into debt, which leads to the group splitting up and eventually Valli going solo. The last act focuses on Valli's career which ends with the death of his daughter. This emotional scene is then switched to a happy finale too quickly for my liking. The audience is suddenly brought forward in time to when the singers got together for a one-off reunion. Their final group song has each of the characters tell you what happened to them in the interim and ends the show on a well-received high, with many people in the audience giving the actors a standing ovation.
Songs and dances
The songs and harmonies are brilliant, though not exactly the same as the originals. Matt Corner did a fantastic job as Valli and his falsetto was brilliant, if a bit nasal at times. As the story progresses, you hear wonderful combinations of the singers, from solos, duets, trios and quartets and back again, with each song being a beautiful vocal arrangement. Expect to hear classic songs such as Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like a Man and My Eyes Adored You among the repertoire.
As for the dancing, well there just isn't much of it. When the group perform, mostly it's rhythmic swaying in unison and small movements, which was the style of the time, so don't go in expecting impressive dance routines and acrobatics!
Stage and costume design
This is not really a show you go to see for the visuals and costumes. The clothes are generally trousers and shirts of the time and 60's dresses for the women. There are no particularly noteworthy outfits and when the band performs, they tend to wear the same colours, but nothing particularly spectacular.
The set changes were smooth and for most of the show, there was a drum kit somewhere on stage, always reminding you of the music. There was a metal staircase that led up to an industrial-looking balcony which ran along the back of the stage. This was there throughout the play and gave an extra dimension to it.
One addition I thought was particularly clever, was the use of visual media. Several times the characters are seen to be performing to another audience, while being recorded by huge cameras. To emphasise this, three giant screens show the actors in black and white, mixed with real footage of the original audience reacting to the original band, reminding you that Jersey Boys is based on a true story.
Bits to watch out for
Jersey Boys is filled with brilliant quips and one-liners and the humour extends to some of the extras. When Gaudio first plays the piano and sings with the group, keep an eye on the barman at the front of the stage; his comic dance routine is something I found particularly entertaining!
Another highlight is the climax song I Love You Baby. Valli's solo performance features a brass band and even a bit of dancing, though I felt his voice was particularly excellent in this song.
So, what's my overall impression?
All in all, Jersey Boys is a wonderful production that is best seen with a group of friends. The songs are great and the story is entertaining. Two things you should bear in mind before you go, though - there are some adult themes implied, which I didn't feel was needed in the story, and there is a great deal of swearing throughout.

Interesting facts about Jersey Boys
- Bowled over — The Four Seasons named themselves after a bowling alley where they failed an audition.
- Billboard big shots — The Four Seasons are the only group to have had a Top 100 Billboard hit in every decade from the 1950s to the 1990s.
- Dramatic dabbling — Franki Valli appeared in the American TV show, The Sopranos as Mafia member Rusty Millio.
History of Jersey Boys
Following the success of other jukebox musicals, Bob Gaudio, an original member of The Four Seasons, planned to make a musical based on the band's discography. Instead of fitting the songs to an independent story, book writers Rick Elice and Marshall Brickman planned to base the show on the band's colourful history. While looking at material from interviews with each of the band members, Elice and Brickman noticed a contradiction in their stories, which paved the way for the multi-perspective story they came to write. The show premiered in San Diego in October 2004, and transferred to Broadway the following year. Jersey Boys London followed in 2008, and a movie adaptation directed by Clint Eastwood was released in June 2014.

History of the Piccadilly Theatre
Right in the heart of the West End, the Piccadilly Theatre has housed a variety of entertainments since 1928.
The Art Deco Piccadilly Theatre was built in April 1928, replacing the set of ramshackle stables that previously occupied 16 Denman Street. At the time, the venue was one of the largest in London, claiming that all of the bricks, if laid in a straight line, would "stretch from London to Paris".
The venue opened with a hit production of Blue Eyes starring Evelyn Laye, whose ghost is said to haunt the theatre. After running for just a few months, the Piccadilly Theatre was taken over by film giant Warner Brothers and used as a cinema. Making part of film history, it was at the Piccadilly Theatre that the very first talking picture was screened in Britain — The Singing Fool starring Al Jolson.
In November 1929, the theatre reopened as a venue for theatrical entertainment, but struggled to turn a profit. In 1936, the Piccadilly converted into a cabaret-style restaurant called the London Casino. The venue staged an assortment of lavish stage shows, including comedy, cartoons and swing bands. However, performances were halted following damage sustained by a German bomb during World War Two.
The venue was renovated in the early 1950s, with its original green and gold embellishments remaining, and reopened under its former name. The Piccadilly staged a number of hit Broadway transfers and saw many a celebrity grace its stage. The Beatles recorded several songs at the Piccadilly in 1964 and in 1986 the theatre became the venue for ITV's Sunday night variety show, Live From The Piccadilly.
The theatre gained a reputation for housing a series of theatrical flops, including a stage adaptation of Moby Dick and the more-recent Spice Girls musical Viva Forever. The venue has since picked up, staging more popular productions such as Guys and Dolls, Grease, Ghost The Musical, and the recently re-homed, Theatreland favourite, Jersey Boys.

Unashamed Quotes
I've had many writing heroes, writers who have influenced me. ...When I was very young as a sportswriter I knowingly and unashamedly imitated others ... But slowly, by what process I have no idea, your own writing tends to crystallize, to take shape. Yet you've learned some moves from all these guys and they are somehow incorporated into your own style. Pretty soon you're not imitating any longer. - Red Smith

In order to prepare you for chemotherapy treatment, you may have the following tests:
- a 24-hour urine collection
- a MUGA scan (a scan which tells us how well your heart is functioning)
- bloodwork
- CT scans
- Nuclear Medicine tests such as a Total Body Bone Scan, Gallium Scan and possibly a bone marrow aspiration.
Some or all of these tests will help us develop a good understanding for the extent of your disease and the best treatment options for you. Please inform the team of any allergies, current medications (prescribed and over the counter), if you might be or are pregnant, or breastfeeding. Always let your oncologist know of any changes in your medications at every appointment.
Chemotherapy drugs work by targeting dividing cells. Chemotherapy protocol usually requires that you stay in hospital for 3 to 5 days every third week, depending on your protocol.
Everytime you come for treatment, blood will be drawn. The dose/timing of your chemo may be changed based on blood counts or side effects. You may also be asked to have your blood drawn at a local lab during the weeks that you are not receiving chemotherapy to keep an eye on your blood counts. It is important you let the team know of any side effects you may be experiencing as they may be able to provide you with information and treatments that may help.
Chemotherapy is usually given through the vein. Often because of the harshness of the chemicals and the frequency of multiple infusions we recommend that you consider the insertion of a central line or central venous access device. These lines allow for safer administration of the chemotherapy drugs and can be used for blood taking. The two most common types of venous access devices are the PICC Line or a Port a Cath. The type of access that you will receive will depend on different factors which your team will discuss with you.
PICC Lines
PICC stands for Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheter. These catheters are made from a soft, flexible material called silicon. The catheter is usually put in by the doctor in the interventional procedures room. Local anesthetic is used to numb the skin. Usually the catheter will be inserted into your vein so that the tip will be positioned near the heart. After confirming placement by X-ray of the position of the catheter, the outer portion of the line is secured to the skin. A sterile dressing will be applied over the exit site.
Care of your Line
Home care will be arranged to look after your PICC line. Should you develop an irritation to the adhesive dressing please let your homecare nurse or the team know.
- Your line must be flushed daily. When not in use your line must be flushed weekly.
- Dressing over the PICC line should be changed every seven days.
- It is very important that you do not immerse your PICC line in water.
- In order to shower, you must cover the entire dressing and line with an additional waterproof dressing. Seal the edges of your dressing with a waterproof bandage. Some suggestions to waterproof your line are to use plastic film wrap or a plastic bag. Should your dressing get wet despite your water-proofing, it is important you dry your arm well and replace the dressing as soon as possible.
- If your site should become extremely reddened or if you notice any drainage coming from the site notify your nurse immediately.
A port has two major parts: the port, a small chamber with a raised rubber top and a catheter, a hollow, soft tube. One end of the catheter is connected to the port; the other end is placed into a large blood vessel.
A port, unlike a PICC line, is placed completely under the skin. The procedure is just like the PICC line and is performed in interventional radiology under local anesthetic. A small dressing will be placed over the incision site for a few days until healed. The stitches usually are removed within a week or so. Once the dressing is removed the only thing you will notice is a slight bump where your port sits.
Often the doctor will allow several days for healing before using your port. To use the port, a special needle is inserted through the skin into the raised chamber/port. You may feel slight discomfort when the needle goes into the port. If this is truly uncomfortable, please inform a team member.
Care of your PortBecause your port is completely covered with skin when the needle is removed there is no further care needed. You may swim and bathe without any special care.
- Since the port sits under your skin, it is recommended you avoid full-contact sports
- When not in use, ports require flushing every month. This will be done before you leave the unit and at your follow up appointments once you have completed treatment.
- Your port is normally left in for a year after treatment before removal.
Common Chemotherapy Agents
- Doxorubin/Adriamycin- clear red liquid which is injected into a vein
- Etoposide or VP/16
- Cyclophosphamide
- Ifosfamide
- Cisplatin
- Methotrexate
- Vincristine

Techpro is a microfiber PU made in Italy. It is considered a highly technological and innovative, eco-friendly leather suitable for technical and sports products which require high performance levels. Techpro Microfiber incorporates features of resistancy, stability, lightness, water-repellency and eco-friendliness.
Vent Carbon Sole
The Vent Carbon Sole features a light and replaceable heelpad to improve walkability in polyurethane and a replaceable integrated toe pad/vent cover. The key benefits of the Vent Carbon Sole are not only superior power transfer, because of its light weight and stiffness, but also warm weather comfort. The Vent Carbon Sole is designed with an integrated vent and air channels for heat dissipation and air flow. The vent can be opened or closed for 4-season comfort. The Vent Carbon Sole is handmade exclusively of carbon fiber in a weave pattern oriented at opposing angles that maximize stiffness while allowing for a small degree of controlled flex in the toe area. This carefully designed flex biomechanically relieves stress on the plantar tendon and helps promote circulation. The Vent Carbon Sole features a standard 3-hole drilling pattern, printed 10 mm lateral and fore/aft cleat alignment scale as well as the Look Memory Eyelet for easy cleat alignment and replacement. For triathlon, the vent also serves as a water drain, dramatically improving foot comfort after a wet transition.
Soft Instep 3 System
Soft Instep 3 System is a wide, anatomically curved strap combined with a soft, thermo-formed EVA pad that distributes pressure evenly over the instep area. The Soft Instep Closure System is adjustable from both sides, to perfectly center the EVA pad over a high or low instep. The system eliminates the need for the High Instep Extender. The Soft Instep Closure System is replaceable.
Double Tecno 3 Push System
The Double Tecno 3 Push System is inserted on a single base, this speeds up wearing and taking off shoes. The central mechanism creates a perfect tension balance between the shoe's internal and external side. The symmetrical mechanism guarantees an excellent closure adapting on every instep. An innovative button added to the monofilament buckle, if pushed, lifts the buckle to facilitate the adjustment.
Adjustable heel retention device
The adjustable heel retention device reinforces the top of the heel cup and improves the fit by closing the back of the shoe securely around the rider's heel. The heel retention device tightens the top of the heel cup so that the heel doesn't slide out during steep climbs or sprints. Each side of the heel can be adjusted independently, for a perfect fit.

The effort of creating a new character in 3e and newer might be an issue for players loathing to have their character die, especially at higher levels. One thing we did to mitigate this issue is to have players build replacement characters beforehand, so that the workload can be put before the session and so that they can be popped in on short notice as soon as it would make sense within the fiction.
His views on starting a character at level 1 even if the party is level 8 or 9 are frankly baffling, and not supported by most games. Yes, there's a little bit of rubber banding in D&D, but not to the point that you can have a first level character adventuring with a mid-high level party and have it not be a big deal. Anybody who's ever had their friends "power level" them in an MMO will tell you, it's not fun for anyone. The low level person just gets dragged along for the ride, and the high level person has to stop whatever he's doing to help his friend so they can get back to the "real" game. It's like an escort quest in a single player game.

Attention owners of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR motorcycles from the 2016 thru 2018 model yeas, as news has come from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that roughly 4,000 of these machines might have issues with their gearboxes.
According to the recall, a high impact force can cause the transmission gears to break during shifting – specifically the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears in the gearbox.
First discovered in the Thai market, Kawasaki found upon further investigation that the strength of these gears was not sufficient, and could break under excessive force. As such, two warranty claims in the US have already been made for this issue.

The fact that the system is web-based is great, as management reports and system changes can be made from anywhere where there is an internet connection. And, the terminals are small giving us much more counter space. Most importantly, customer support is excellent. The support team is friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. We highly recommend the Qu point of sale system.

The Qu team's experience with deploying to multi-unit chains like us really set them apart. They focused on understanding our business and unique needs first, then worked with us to create a comprehensive plan that identified potential problems before they occurred and offered flexibility with our scheduling. Their desire to forge a long term partnership and help us grow our business was obvious from our very first meeting and continues to be evident with every interaction we have.

We didn't know Point-of-Sale software could look and feel this good. No other POS allows me the insight into my franchisee's operations that I've been seeking. Qu allows us to better shape and lead our brand.
Brent Desmond
Director of Platform Management
Elevation Burger
After much research, for over a year, 3 different POS systems tested in stores, we have found our new POS provider in Qu and from the start, their team has been great to work with. Upon signing a deal with Qu we were able to immediately deploy 5 new systems in under 2 weeks' notice to our stores that were opening. More important is how the POS works for us and our franchisees and everyone is excited to be using this system.

In today's world, customers decide how they want to engage with you whether that's calling on the phone, engaging with a kiosk, placing an order online, or using a mobile app. Qu works seamlessly with our partners and apps without needing additional labor to field all those channels.

iPads are cool. I have one personally. But they're not designed to get touched hundreds of thousands of times over the course of a month, so any POS system that relied solely on iPads wasn't a good fit for us.

Side event on conscitious objection
Side event – HRC, Geneva, session 31.
Date: March 8th 2016.
Organised by the European Centre for Law and Justice.
Concept note:
The main purpose of the side event is to clarify the notion of conscientious objection and to explain the right to conscientious objection in the context of medical professions.
It will concentrate on the situations where a human life is a stake, although the issue of conscientious objection is larger. While the right to conscientious objection to military service is increasingly recognized, the well-established right to conscientious objection to abortion and euthanasia for medical practitioners is often criticized because it would impede individual liberty.
Conscience is proper to human being and the source of justice. Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights defines human beings as "endowed with reason and conscience". The universality of conscience is the source of universality of justice and human rights.
What is the relationship between law and conscience, where the law prescribes practices contrary to person's moral or religious convictions? What place for personal conscience and belief of minorities in a pluralist society governed by majority vote?
More and more people and groups invoke their conscience or religion to refuse to perform acts required by their employer or by law, for example by refusing to perform military service, to celebrate unions between persons of the same sex, to collaborate in an abortion or euthanasia, to vaccinate their children, or to let their children attend mandatory ethics, religion or sex education courses, etc. It is up to public authorities, and finally to the judge to rule on the merits of each objection and it is to be feared that, overwhelmed with various requests, they come to reject all, in the name of the equality before the positive law, while reducing the guarantee of freedom of conscience and religion. A clarification of the concept of conscientious objection is therefore required, not to extend its scope to the point of making it indefensible, but rather to better define it so that it can be guaranteed in a just measure.

India's ONGC May Relax Eligibility Criteria for Hiring Rigs
India's state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd. (ONGC) might relax the eligibility criteria for chartering offshore rigs despite the current supply glut in the drilling market caused by low utilization in the two-year long industry downturn, a local media said earlier this week.
Global rig demand has weakened since the second half of 2014 as oil and gas companies responded to lower crude oil prices by cutting back on capital expenditures, leading to an oversupply that weighed on day rates.
According to Rigzone's RigLogix database, worldwide rig utilization on July 7 stood at around 54.5 percent, compared to 55.9 percent last month and 70 percent a year ago.
The Economic Times reported Monday that ONGC may relax the qualifying criteria for rigs in future drilling contracts. Firms that owned rigs which have been lying idle continuously for three years or more and previously barred from participating in such tenders due to safety concerns may be allowed to participate in future bidding exercise.
Should the proposed change proceed, drilling companies that owned such rigs could join in ONGC's bidding process if "they could produce (a) certificate proving their fitness," the report added.
"ONGC has received several representations for considering changes to the Bid Evaluation Criteria Clause with respect to rig idling. A committee is presently examining it ... a decision shall be taken considering the interests of the company, upholding transparent procurement procedures," ONGC told The Economic Times.
The Indian oil company is likely to discuss the proposal next week.
According to The Economic Times, market players were surprised at the timing of ONGC's decision as there is an oversupply of drilling rigs and the firm does not need to relax the eligibility criteria, particularly when safety is concerned.
The Indian daily added that industry executives believed that the move could "favor some specific service providers whose rigs haven't drilled a single well in more than three years," adding that recent tenders of international oil majors require that rigs have not been laid idle for more than 6-12 months.

Nike is the Greek goddess of Victory and is described as the daughter of the Titans Pallas and Styx as well as the sister of Kratos (Power), Bia (Force), and Zelus (Zeal). She assumes the role of the divine Charioteer, a role in which she is often portrayed in Classical Greek art. Her Roman counterpart is Victoria, which is Latin for "victory".
Alongside her mother and siblings, Nike joined Zeus in his war against the Titans. As a reward for their support, Nike and her siblings were made the foremost of Zeus' servants. In addition, Nike was a constant companion of both Ares and Athena, accompanying them both into battle. She is often seen with Athena, as she often cannot contemplate defeat. Although it's not impossible to kill Nike as demonstrated in the Trials Of Apollo.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
The Demigod Files
Nike is one of the names found in the Olympian Crossword.
The Heroes of Olympus
The Mark of Athena
A six foot statue of Nike is seen in the right hand of the Athena Parthenos.
The House of Hades
The six foot statue of Nike is seen again on the Athena Parthenos.
The Blood of Olympus
She forces the demigods into the arena to fight to the death using her Nikai, her minions. The demigods manage to subdue her. After the rift was healed between the Greeks and Romans, Nike and the gods showed up at Athens and helped the Seven defeat the giants.
Nike is a tall and beautiful goddess, wearing a glittering sleeveless dress, with her dark hair in piled-up braids circled with a gilded laurel wreath. Her expression is usually wide-eyed and a little crazy, "like she'd just had twenty espressos and ridden a roller coaster", according to Leo. She wields a gold-tipped spear, and has wings of polished gold, which glitter so brightly, that Leo claims that had they been solar panels, Nike "would have produced enough energy to power Miami." She usually rides a golden chariot pulled by two white horses.
Nike possesses the standard powers of a goddess. She has not yet shown any abilities in the series, however her domain suggests she has some level of influence over victory and competition. She has the ability to be able to foresee victories and can grant victory. She can also curse people.
- Nike is sometimes referred to as the "Winged Goddess of Victory". This probably is due to Nike being the goddess of victory and Victoria, her Roman counterpart's common winged statues.
- Nike is also the name of a brand of sporting clothes, possibly because she is the goddess of victory.

Alcoholism is a broad term that describes significant problems with alcohol use. It is not a diagnostic term recognized by the American Psychiatric Association. Nonetheless, it a commonly used term that generally includes an impaired ability to limit alcohol use, despite the harmful consequences of continued use. In this respect, alcoholism meets the definition of addiction. In our topic center on addiction, addiction is defined as:
Addiction is the repeated involvement with a substance or activity, despite the substantial harm it now causes, because that involvement was (and may continue to be) pleasurable and/or valuable.
Therefore, alcoholism is a specific type of addiction. In the article entitled, What is alcoholism? we listed the many harmful consequences of alcoholism that meet this definition of addiction. You might like to review that list of consequences for an informal self-assessment to determine if you might have an alcohol addiction. In the next section, we discuss the formal way that healthcare professionals determine whether someone has an addiction to alcohol.

If you're an aspiring entrepreneur, here are 38 rules to live by to make your journey into the business world a little easier.
I read a great post a couple of months ago, written by a friend of mine, for females, that really inspired me (even as a male). As we get older, we begin to see things more clearly. Things we once thought were important become secondary. We start to truly understand what life (and business) is all about.
At my age, 38, I'm not claiming to know everything, nor to be an expert in anything, for that matter, but I do believe I've learned a few things. As I approach my 40s, I thought I'd share the lessons (sometimes hard) that I've earned–and learned:
- Nobody cares about what you say, only what you do.
- Funding is not the end, only the beginning.
- Once you take on funding, the stress gets worse, not better.
- Don't beg for investment dollars. Someone's paying to be your partner, not the other way around.
- Arrogant and disrespectful investors will never be good partners. Ignore them.
- Never, ever, ever, pay to pitch.
- TechCrunch is overrated. Unless you sell to startups, it doesn't do sh*t. It's good for the ego, though.
- Some people care only about people whom they think are popular. They'll acknowledge you only when you appear to be more connected than they are. Get rid of these people.
- Some people like you only for what you can do for them. Pay them no mind.
- Accelerators are good only for funding and meeting new friends. Is that what 6 to 8 percent equity is worth to you?
- Take a job if you have to. You will not lose your will to be an entrepreneur for doing so.
- Take huge risks in your 20s. Take calculated risks in your 30s.
- If you have an idea that keeps you up at night, do something with it. If not, it will always be only a dream.
- It's OK to be driven by money at first. Once you have it, you'll find your true motivation.
- Nontechies: If your tech co-founder says it's going to take three months or more, she's lying.
- If your tech co-founder says she can't use existing code, cut ties immediately.
- If your nontech co-founder says he can't sell X until you build Y, he's making excuses for not working.
- Sales are everything. Nothing else matters. Nothing.
- Learn something new every day. One thing at least.
- Write. Even if you don't publish it.
- Marketing isn't luck. It's hustle.

This creative writing activity is a great lead into creative writing, poetry, art, and the two new Hunger Games movies released in 2014 and 2015. Additional resources are also provided for teachers.
This PowerPoint contains twenty story and journal starters using The Hunger Games as a theme. Three are placed on the whiteboard each day. Students select one to develop and then submit ideas of their own for a classroom writing archive.
Basketball season is ready to begin and this is an excellent start to get children to use sports to enhance their creative writing and poetry skills. Students can create sport, music, movie, or comic all-star presentations.
This activity is perfect for Halloween or any time of the year. It uses creatures of fact and fiction to develop poetry, creative writing, PowerPoint development, and art to develop themes around scary characters students love.
The days of the week are used to help students create multiple themes for their creative writing and poetry. There are a wide variety of poems that can be used for student modeling. Friday's Child is a very easy format to reproduce with student ideas.
Hi Ho Hammers is a great beginning number and act out activity that teaches the numbers from one to ten. It is interactive and a memory developer and enhancer.

The Boudoir
This small room is noted for its abundance of decorative designs, offering the visitor an endless diversity of visual, artistic, historical and allegorical associations and impressions. The architectural resolution itself is quite complex. The walls are divided by a series of marble pilasters with polychrome painted designs. Between them are four marble bas-reliefs and picture panels depicting the most famous architectural edifices of India. The narrow wall against the French doors is accentuated by the two-columned portico and white marble fireplace. Opposite, there is an exit leading out onto the balcony, where a view opens up onto the central alley of the Private Garden. The open portico of the Pavilion of the Three Graces and its masterly executed marble group (P. Triscorni) was attached to the perspective of the alley ten years later. The ceiling and the padouga are painted after motifs of ancient grotesques. They include four landscape compositions corresponding to the four times of the day.
Whereas rich gobelins presented by King Louis XVI lay at the heart of the architectural projects of the Carpet Study and the Library of Maria Feodorovna, here the royal couple charged the architect with employing marble pilasters bought in Rome. These pilasters featured painted designs after the motifs of Raphael's loggias in the Vatican Palace and the ancient porphyry columns found during excavations of Rome. The original project of the room belongs to Charles Cameron, though it was much changed in the course of work carried out by Vincenzo Brenna, who completed the room in 1791. The Boudoir was originally furnished with carved gilt furniture made in France, trimmed with Lyons silk with iris flowers. In order to create the sensation of a single space in this small interior, the furniture was largely confined to tabourets (stools without backs). The curtains on the doors were also decorated with borders of iris flowers. After the fire of 1803, a new suite of furniture in the Empire style was manufactured in St Petersburg. Tabourets again predominated. This suite was later destroyed during the war and the only surviving item is a chair with arms in the form of winged sphinxes. The French doors leading to the balcony were hung after the fire of 1803 with white curtains "edged with a silk border sewn on blue canevas".
The original crystal chandelier was described as "blue with crystal garlands and pendants for five candles". It was later replaced by a glass lamp in the form of an ancient oil lamp, specially designed for the Boudoir by Andrei Voronikhin. An important place in the furnishings was given to two elegant rosewood secretaires with porcelain plaquettes (M. Carlin and A. Weisweiler, France,1780s). The originals were sold by the Soviets for hard currency in 1931. Their place is now taken by secretaires of similar size and composition (David Roentgen, Germany, late 18th century). Among the original furnishings of the Boudoir are the porcelain circular table with views of the edifices of Pavlovsk Park (Imperial Porcelain Factory, St Petersburg, 1789), an incense tripod from various types of marble (B. Ferrero, Italy, 1780s) presented by the King of Sardinia, a table with a rotator clock and candlesticks (P. Denizot, France, late 18th century), the lamp-brackets over the fireplace (France, 1780s), a suite of vases and obelisks (Western Europe, 1780s) and the fireplace trivets (France, late 18th century). On the left secretaire are a Mars clock (France, late 18th century) and the bronze statuettes Girl with a Nest and Boy with a Little Bird (Italy, reduction after a model by C. Albacim, circa 1780).
An important role in the Boudoir is allotted to sculpture. There are two plaster groups of cupids placed above the doors (M. Alexandrov (Uvazhny), 1804) and marble reliefs mounted into the walls in the 1780s - Herm of Pan (2nd century AD), portrait of a Roman (tombstone, second half of the 1st century AD) and profile portraits of Alexander the Great and his mother Olympias (J. Collini(?), Italy, 18th century). The marble group Cupid and Psyche, signed by the sculptor C. Albacini (free reduction from an ancient original, circa 1780), in the corner is also part of the original decor of the Boudoir. The chairs and armchairs with lyres on the backs are copies made in the 1960s from the suite of furniture in the State Library of Paul I. The Boudoir also presently contains a number of items once belonging to Maria Feodorovna. Besides the piano (London, 1774), there are a porcelain and bronze clock and two candelabra (Sevres pottery, France, 1785-1799) placed about the corners of the room. There is also a couch close in style to the one lost during the war (early 19th century).

In 'Safari So Goodi!', the gang have to work out what's going on when all the animals start disappearing - and being replaced by yellow ghosts. In 'Roller Ghoster Ride', the friends are looking forward to a fun day out at Thrillrides, an adventure park. But their fun soon turns to danger when a series of strange 'accidents' occur on the park's rides. In 'It's Mean, It's Green, It's the Mystery Machine', the gang is baffled when the Mystery Machine comes to life and starts to drive itself. Eventually the clues lead them to the Mystery Kids who used to own the machine. In 'Riva Ras Regas', a trip to see their favourite pop singer in concert at a Las Vegas theatre turns into a ghost hunt when the theatre turns out to be haunted.

Amethyst loves music and enjoys hip-hop dancing to spice up her dull and dreary life. But one evening on her way home from dance class, she hears a voice that drew her away from her route.
Caught in the act of eavesdropping, her life is about to change in a way she has never foreseen.
David didn't quite know what to do with the beautiful trespasser, but when he learned that she was injured, taking care of her was the only solution.
Little did he suspect that she was about to take care of his lonely heart in return.
CHAPTER 15Hearing her cry out, did David pushed open the door and rushed forward when he saw her falling backward arms flailing.
Visions of her hitting her head gave him extra speed, and he grabbed her shirt. Right between her breasts.
He reached out to take her healthy hand and pulled her back into position.
It was hard to ignore the soft mounds rubbing his hand through the soft fabric, but he forced himself to let go.
"What are you doing?"
Her eyes were huge as they looked at him. "You saved me."
His lips quirked a little. "It would seem that way. Are you okay? What are you doing in here?"
He stopped and looked at the toilet when he felt heat creep up his neck. Idiot.
She put her hand on his arm. "I wanted to take some of the painkillers the doctors prescribed, and I couldn't figure out which ones in the dark, so I came in here."
"Grab the bag," he said suddenly and lifted her up into his arms.
"Wait, the pills..."
They both looked at two green discs lying at the bottom of the bathtub, dissolving in a patch of water.
"You can take out two more."
With her back in the bed, he reached out to switch on the bedside lamp. She took out two more tablets while he poured water into the glass.
"Why didn't you ask for help?"
She glanced at the chair he had been sleeping in. "You were tired, and I didn't want to bother you."
He watched her swallow the tablets before helping her get comfortable again. "Next time just wake me, okay?"
She bit her lip and nodded.
"Good. Now lie back and close your eyes and let the medication do their job."
She smiled at his commanding tone. "Will you sing for me?" she whispered. "You have a beautiful voice. Couldn't resist...the other night...had to come closer to listen."
Stunned he sat there. Had he been the reason she had been trespassing?
She hummed a romantic ballad that was a popular version adapted from an operatic piece. Softly he sang with her. He didn't know the exact words of the English song, but he invented a few words around the ones did remember.
* * *
It was how Jeff and Phyllis found them.
Mother and son entered the house as quiet as they could. It was dark except for the light on the stairs to help them find their way.
They looked at each other when they reached Amethyst's room.
"Their voices are beautiful together," Jeff whispered.
Phyllis nodded with her hand pressed to her mouth.
She pulled Jeff away with her. In her wing of the house, they both strained their ears until the last notes faded away.
"I don't think my brother has ever in his whole life sang anything with another person."
"Except with you when you were still boys."
"True, but even when he continued with his voice lessons, and I focused on the piano, he refused to sing any duets."
Phyllis smiled as she put her feet up. It had been a long day, but the concert was worth every minute. She also enjoyed the party the orchestra had afterward. Jeff was a visiting pianist and popular with the people he performed with.
Jeff sat forward and linked his hands together between his knees. "Do you think I could convince them to sing at the Christmas charity benefit?"
Phyllis smiled wider. "That is an excellent idea!"
He grimaced. "Ha, now to figure out how to convince him to come out of the proverbial closet."
"Hmmm," she replied. "Now that is where I come in, my son."

Eeeekk, I feel defeated by this birthday month. I did my best trying to keep up with birth-day posts, and believe it or not, they are all typed up and just need some editing, saved in drafts and waiting to be posted...
Until it happens, I won't use that as an excuse not to post anything else. The time line is already messed up anyway, right?
Last week Maya celebrated her birthday and I followed my impulse and made her a last-minute t-shirt that she requested in her last minute wish list. Here it is (the wishlist):
Puzzled? I'll decode:
Kindergarten Book
P (she never told me, just said "let's skip that for now")
Art Book
Short Sleeve Shirt
New Crayon Set
Velvet Art Work
Card (she revealed to grandma that she wants a DEBIT card)
Decorations for Christmas
I know she requested a short sleeved shirt, but it was a week ago, when we still had 50s outside with rain and snow. Since I was using old t-shirts to make her a new one, the sleeves were 'pre-made' and I decided to keep them 'as is' until it got warmer. The applique was the time killer, took longer than the shirt itself. I'm still glad I did it, because I had upcoming Earth Day in mind.

Learning context is an area which must be addressed if meaningful learning is to take place. All learning must be placed in the learners context if it is to have meaning.
There is actually no such thing as "new" knowledge. In order to acquire new information, the brain must place it in the context of something that is already known. You can't learn what you don't already know.
was a difficult concept for me to grasp at first, but once I began to
understand it, it made all the difference in the quality of the learning
experienced by the children in my classroom. One way to think of it is
that the brain has to be able to "hook" new information onto something
it already knows in order for the learning to "stay put."
Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
In order to "teach to the life of the child" as suggested by neuro cognitive scientist Dr. Fritz Mengert, you have to know about the life they are living. One of the reasons children have trouble with comprehension is that passages are often completely out of their context.
In order to experience the context of my eighth grade students, I made it a point to listen to the music they liked and watch the television shows they enjoyed watching. Now, I have to tell you that after 20 years of doing this, I developed a rather skewed sense of humor, but I understood what they were thinking (even when it scared me a little!) and was able to refer to that culture to go about placing the learning in their context.
It is easy to discover what interests
younger children because they are so eager to share everything with
great enthusiasm. So I listened! That's how I knew that they would
immediately be drawn into word wall games if I used a Star Wars light
saber as a
It seems like such a small thing, but using a gadget or toy with which they can identify really helps place activities - in this case, those with word walls - in their context.
Children of all ages are attracted to the popular game "Angry Birds" so I found a way to use it to teach one of the properties of math. Angry Birds Distributive Property is so popular that my kids actually beg to do it! We also use an Angry Birds ball to play an Angry Birds Focus Game which they love.
Kids are not going to do well with word problems in math that have nothing to do with them and the life that they are living!
Textbook companies do not know my children. Their representatives do not drive through our community. So the word problems in the textbooks are often so far out of my children's learning context that they don't even register.
So I make up problems myself, using their names, which they love. I also let them make up their own problems. And guess what -- the problems they make up have meaning to them because they are in their context!!
A friend of mine who grew up in New York City told me that he was expected to learn to read from Dick and Jane books. The stories were so far out of the learning context of an inner city boy that they had no meaning for him at all. He and his classmates could not relate to Dick and Jane OR Puff!!
In order for children to learn to love reading and to comprehend what they read, the stories must be in their context!
Having children write their own stories is a great way to place reading into the context of their lives. Younger students can dictate their stories for you to write down, and group stories are fun to write, too, because everyone contributes.
Older students love to write their own stories, especially when they can also illustrate them which is a great way to integrate art which is essential especially for right brained children.
Blank books can be ordered from
Bare Books
at a reasonable price to give children the opportunity to write their
very own hard-backed books. Kids love them, and the stories are smack in
the middle of their learning context!!
Go to Comprehension from Learning Context
According to A. C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than 4 hours of television each day. By the time a person is 65 years old, he will have spent 9 years watching TV!!!
If that doesn't scare you, these facts probably will:
Number of minutes per week that parents spend in meaningful conversation with their children: 3.5
Number of minutes per week that the average child watches television: 1680
To say that television is a part of our children's context is an understatement.

The second hand car market services a growing number of people who are looking for affordable pre-owned vehicles. While it's possible to get a good deal when buying a second hand vehicle, there are some pitfalls to avoid. There have been some reports of people selling stolen vehicles in the Emerald Bay area recently. Here is how to avoid buying a stolen car:
- Every car should have title and registration documents. These will identify the vehicle (along with its VIN number) as well as the legal owner of the car. Make sure that the person selling you the car is the person mentioned in the registration document. Always ask for proof of identification.
- It's important to make sure that there is no money outstanding on the vehicle from a previous finance arrangement. Asking the person about where he financed or insured the vehicle will give you information that you can then check up on. If they owned the car legally before then you should be able to confirm this with the financing institution of insurance company.
- Make sure you get a fixed residential address from the seller. If he refuses to give it to you or is hesitant to confirm this then it may be a sign that you should be avoiding this car.
- The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is essentially the fingerprint of the car. It is a unique identifier for that specific vehicle. You can find it on the driver's side where the dash meets the windscreen. This should match the VIN on the registration document. If it looks like it has been painted, removed or altered in any way then it's time to walk away.
- If the seller is asking a price that seems to be far less than he could get for the car then alarm bells should start going off. Either it's stolen or there's something wrong with the vehicle.
- car parts is finally here so check it out today, and you might even get it for free.
Use your commons sense and trust your instinct when buying a second had vehicle. It's your right to ask as many questions as you want before making your purchase. Remember that if you buy a stolen car it can be taken away from you and you will have lost your money. Following the tips above will help you make a safe purchase.
