Omis is a charming little town on the Adriatic Coast with approximately 25 000 inhabitants and the facilities that will enrich your vacation. The city of Split is only 19 km to the West and it is a very popular destination to the thousands of tourists from all over the world because of its numerous historical sights and attractions. The old part of the city of Split is a palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian and is a zero-category monument protected by UNESCO.
Only 35 km from the house there is an airport and a few kilometers further away there is an amazing historical city of Trogir. You will find any type of beach you like at the Omis Riviera - from a kilometre long sandy beach in the town's centre to a line of gorgeous beaches with fine pebbles. What most of them have in common is a deep and natural shade. The city centre is vibrant and full of life. Those looking for a more active holiday will not have to look far in Omiš - in the area of just a few kilometres you will find rafting, free climbing, paragliding, diving, sailing, beach volleyball...all you adrenaline junkies have to do is take your pick.
Minimum stay in the period of 1st June till 30th September is one week (7 days). Arrival and departure of guests is always on Saturday so there is a possibility to rent only one, two or more weeks. We take into consideration only families with children, couples or groups of grown ups (30 years and older). This is a quiet location for a vacation so we cannot accept reservations from groups of very young people who expect loud parties at night.
Villa Zoro was completely renovated in the year 2013 and provides all the necessary comfort for 6 + 1 people. Wood dominates in the interior of the house which gives a special atmosphere. It has three bedrooms, living room, kitchen, a large and a small toilet, three terraces, barbecue and a large garden. Our GPS (Garmin) is also available for free borrowing. Internet can be used by six users simultaneously and there is a satellite television program. There is a washing machine, dishwasher, iron and hair dryer.
There is also a baby cot, seat for the baby, and the tub.
The price includes final cleaning, towels and sheets.
For cooler days the house is equipped with central heating, and there is a fireplace that works perfectly. You can use indefinitely wood for the grill and fireplace.
The pool is large 27 m2 and 1.5 meters deep. During your vacation just is at your disposal. The house is insulated and in the summer it reaches a comfortable temperature and there are also two air conditioners.
The nearest mini-market is in the distance of 2.3 km and the super-market is in the distance of 6.2 km. In the neighbourhood there are only 12 weekend cottages. Most of the owners are physicans and teachers who live in Split and spend only their weekends in the cottages. The owners of one of the neighbouring houses is a married couple from Manchester. They fell in love with this unique place and decided to spend their free time here.
During your holidays, we are available to you at any time for any help or advice.

"Just perfect!"
Ante was the most helpful, friendly and generous host we have ever experienced and made our holiday very special. The villa is in a beautiful location with lots of outside space to sit, relax, eat and sunbathe. It as also very well equipped with everything you could possibly need from use of a GPS to mosquito repellent. There were 6 adults in our party ranging from 55 to 17 and there was lots of things to do in the surrounding area - we particularly enjoyed the rafting, canyoning and the zip line. Our trip to the island of Hvar was also a highlight. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in nearby Omis to enjoy a night out. This was our first trip to Croatia and we're blown away - will definitely be back !
Owner's reply: Thank you so much Linda for your review and looking forward to welcome you again. Ante
"Great holiday, lovely villa, super host"
We stayed at Villa Zorro for two weeks in June and July. Villa Zorro is lovely with everything you need (and more) for a relaxing holiday. The villa location was great with amazing views of the sea and Brac and it is so quiet which is a big "must have" for us. Ante, the host, does an amazing job and makes you feel so welcome. I was a little concerned booking on line (using trip advisor's PayPal service for the first time) but Ante responds immediately to each email and sent some really useful arrival information. The villa is very comfortable and it feels instantly like "home". During our two seek stay we had between three and seven people in the house with ages ranging from 4 to over 70 and everyone was well catered for. It was a little cramped with seven people and I would not wish to do this for longer than a couple of days but it was perfect for five people which we had most of the time. The shutters and a/c ensure a good night's sleep. The house is pretty much as listed but what you don't get from the listing is how tranquil the location is and how well looked after you will feel. There is a short drive (10mins) down the switchbacks to Omis which has a pretty little old town and some good restaurants ( we liked Bastion) and then on to the beach just beyond Omis where we dined at Bibilo three times (a restaurant suggested by Ante). The beaches were crowded so get up early if you want a spot. There is a little beach at Mimice which was my favourite although it is difficult to park and a long walk down (or rather up!) the hill back to the car. The beaches at Brela are reportedly the best in Croatia but these were super-crowded and not somewhere we chose to return to. We had a wonderful holiday and loved this villa. I have fallen in love with Croatia I will be recommending Villa Zorro to all my friends. We will certainly be back.
Owner's reply: Dear Jo,thanks for the positive comments and trust ... It's always a mystery to come to a new destination so we are pleased to see that our guests have spent a great vacation. Thank you again. Ante
"Perfect getaway"
We loved our stay at Villa Zoro! Recently renovated, it is a lovely spacious place with a great outdoor area and pool. Views across the sea to Brac, and a short drive from the town of Omis we really liked its location away from the busier areas. During our week stay we did rafting and canyoning on the nearby Cetina river, spent a day on Brac and one at Krka national park, whilst also visiting Split and Trogir. In short, everywhere is easily accessible from Villa Zoro! Would recommend this place to anyone, and Ante is a wonderful host.
Owner's reply: Thanks for the compliments, we are happy that we have such a good and dear guests :-)

Summer 2001: garage anthem '21 Seconds' was booming from car stereos across the capital and So Solid Crew, the South London rappers responsible for the surprise number one, Brit Award-winning hit, were enjoying life in the spotlight, away from the dingy backrooms of pirate radio. But one member of the crew had a dark secret. Peckham-born 'Asher D', known to his local government worker mother as Ashley Walters, had been at the Sylvia Young Theatre School from the age of six. Rapping about his roles in Grange Hill and The Young Indiana Jones would have done little for his street cred, so he spat lyrics about 'smoking mac g's like a Jamaican' and lapped up the glamorous life, along with his crew- mates Megaman and Romeo. UK garage was having its moment. Earlier that year girlband Mis-Teeq, a smash on the underground garage scene, reached number eight in the charts with their debut single 'Why?', which launched a 23-year-old singer-slash-MC called Alesha Dixon.
'They were quite intimidating when you first met them,' says Dixon, dripping in diamonds in a Kensington hotel suite, as she recalls hanging out with the So Solid Crew at the height of both bands' fame. 'We'd bump into each other at different club nights. There were so many of them, and you're like, "Oh my God!" ' she laughs before adding: 'But after the first time we chatted, I thought, "Ashley's cool." Perhaps even then, they recognised in each other a determination that set them apart from their bandmates and meant that despite the fallouts, dramas, prison sentences and abandoning of music the next decade would bring, these two stars were destined to succeed... and meet again, 12 years later, wearing dinner jackets and jewels, having put their careers as TV stars on hold for long enough to record a duet.
The sweet and rhythmic 'Your Love' is the first tune taken from Walters' upcoming solo album, which he's promoting in the fleeting downtime between finishing work on Doctor Who (he plays one of a trio of brothers, an intergalactic salvage crew) and starting filming on the Hackney set of Channel 4's Top Boy 2. Dixon, meanwhile, has a few weeks spare before flying to America to work on her next solo album, and beginning production of her second season on Britain's Got Talent. I jokingly ask Walters which singers said no before he approached his old friend to collaborate on the track. 'In the past, I have had to… settle,' admits the man who has previously recorded with Mutya Buena, Chipmunk and Lisa Moorish. 'But Alesha was my first choice — though at that point I hadn't seen her in ages.' Such has been Dixon's small-screen success, he wasn't sure if she was still interested in a music career — her 2006 solo album, Fired Up, only came out in Japan, and her last solo outing, The Alesha Show, was released four years ago. Since then, she's become better known as a TV presenter, jewellery promoter and charity ambassador.
Dixon was born in Welwyn Garden City 34 years ago, into what she's described as a 'dysfunctional family' (she spoke about witnessing her mother suffer domestic violence from an ex-partner in a 2010 BBC documentary). Her parents split when she was four, and between her English mother Beverly and Jamaican father Melvin she has five half- brothers and a half-sister. 'I remember the day I said to my dad that I wanted to be in a girl group. Bless his soul, he said: "What makes you think you're going to succeed? Black people from this country don't succeed," ' she says with no hint of bitterness. 'And I remember saying to my dad at 15, 16: "I'm not going to make my decisions in life based on other people's successes or failures. I have to make my own path." So in a way that drove me even more. And when Mis-Teeq broke through, you could argue there weren't that many black artists in the UK. That's why it felt special. It felt like something that was ours. We created a sound, an identity. That was important.'
When Dixon agreed to the duet, Walters was delighted. It was a testament to their friendship, which had survived Dixon's divorce of Walters' So Solid bandmate MC Harvey in 2006, having discovered he'd had an affair with singer Javine Hylton (and fathered her child). 'We both came from the garage scene,' says Walters, 'and if you look at it, out of Mis-Teeq it's obvious that Alesha's done amazingly well — and managed to maintain a career over a long period of time. And I feel like I've done the same thing. So it makes sense us doing this tune together.'
The past decade has been equally eventful for Walters, who has three children with his partner Natalie and one from another relationship. While So Solid leader Megaman was tried three times on a murder charge (and acquitted in 2006), in 2002 Walters was sentenced to 18 months for firearms possession. 'Prison was the definitive moment for me because before I went to prison I wasn't really too concerned with anything other than just doing what I loved doing. I'd had two children before I went in, and I was the worst father in the world. I spent no time with them. I preferred being out on the road, being around the scene, around the music. What prison did to me was make me realise, acting is not just a hobby any more — it's my career and it's something I'm going to be able to utilise in order to provide for my children. So I pretty much knuckled down and focused. But also, after I came out I distanced myself from the bad elements that were around me. That was one of the hardest things to do, because a lot of these people I considered brothers. But I had to walk away from the situation for the greater good, for my family. And for myself as well.'
Since then, Walters has earned acclaim for his performances in Bullet Boy, in which he played the just-out-of-prison Ricky and won best newcomer at the British Independent Film Awards, and Top Boy, Channel 4's London take on The Wire, in which he played criminal king-pin Dushane. He and his friend, actor-director Noel Clarke, are now talking to Sky Atlantic about an idea for a new drama series. The pitch: a UK version of the Will Smith/Martin Lawrence action movie Bad Boys. So, undercover cops, bulletproof vests, explosions, guns, car chases… 'All sorts of things! Basically we're trying to glamorise the police force,' he says.
You'd think film companies would bite their hands off: two talented, good-looking black British men, starring in a London-set, youth-oriented police thriller. In the wake of last year's riots, how timely, provocative and agenda-setting. Walters shakes his head. Their original idea was for a film and before Sky expressed interest: 'We had a lot of production companies shut the door on us, because being a policeman over here is just not the same as in the US. A lot of black people are in the police over there, whereas over here it's minimal.'
But he and Clarke are undaunted. 'It's just about trying to take the genre of film to another level. We can keep making Kidulthood and Adulthood and Bullet Boy for years. But what is that doing for black cinema and TV?'It might involve a lot more sequins and big smiles, but Dixon is doing her bit for black Britons on TV, too. First winning the traditionally white, middle-class Strictly Come Dancing in 2007, then replacing the Daily Mail's poster girl Arlene Phillips as a judge in 2009. Now, in a £300,000 deal with ITV, she's making and breaking dreams on the panel of Britain's Got Talent. 'When I was in Mis-Teeq, I never planned on being a TV judge, I was really happy within music. But Ashley actually started out acting — for him it was the reverse. No matter what you do outside music, if you love it, that never leaves you. For me, no matter what I do in TV, music will always be where my heart is. It's the thing that actually gets me most excited out of everything that I do.'
Walters, now scrubbed up in a dinner jacket and shiny shoes for the ES shoot, is wearing a dress scarf and a cat-that-got-the-cream smile while Dixon slides into a bathtub. 'Oh man, I'm in there!' he laughs. Dixon's distinctive foghorn cackle reverberates through the suite. The message is coming through loud and clear: the Ashley 'n' Alesha show is a natural partnership: dynamic, daft and fun. Give these two their own TV programme, now.
Ashley Walters' single 'Your Love' featuring Alesha Dixon is out on 11 November (SK Records)

Abby's Table Nude Ranch Gluten-Free Salad Dressing

I just discovered a ranch dressing that is gluten, dairy, and soy-free, and it actually tastes great. It is called "Nude Ranch" and is made by Abby's Table. I would have to agree that this product is absolutely nude from everything except for taste and nutrition.
Chef Abby believes in using the freshest, high-quality ingredients, in order to provide a full nutritional profile. I also would like to include that all of Abby's Table gluten-free dressings are hand packed with care and can be shipped right to your doorstep. I really enjoyed how versatile the gluten free Nude Ranch dressing was, and how I was able to use it in a number of ways that traditional ranch cannot be used. For example, I enjoyed this product alone as a dip, as a salad dressing, and I even used it to make a creamy brown rice risotto!
In addition Abby's Table provides a variety of gluten-free recipes that are easy to follow to help you create a healthy dish for just about anyone.
Before trying this I would have never have guessed that there was a gluten free ranch dressing that was gluten free, all natural, and was actually good for me!

Vehicles are a fine investment to spend your money in. Vehicles are like most of your other appliances that need regular maintenance and checkups to ensure that it is working properly and it will last long. On most cases, there is no nearby vehicle service company that you can easily reach and you need to have your vehicle transported to the company's area. Vehicle transport can be tedious and difficult when you don't know how to do it especially if you are working on mini buses, taxis, buses, coaches and other big vehicles.
Transport for this kind of vehicles needs a reliable and safe automobile transport company. There are a few things that you should consider before choosing the right company to transport your vehicle.
Before you entrust your vehicle to the transporting company, it is best to get a detailed photo of your vehicle on every angle. This will give you a reference for comparison to prove that your vehicle is delivered back to you in its pre-existing condition. A trustworthy transport company will even ask you to do this recording. Aside from transport services, vehicle transporting companies should also provide inspection services to get their own documentation of the condition of the vehicles that they will deliver. It is necessary for you to get a copy of this documentation as a backup and personal file. This is best for your huge vehicles because there is a larger portion of the automobile that needs inspection.
Big vehicles like minibuses Manchester, buses, taxis, etc. are more expensive than regular cars. Moreover, these types of cars are used for hiring businesses or as a public vehicle where you can earn from it. Indeed, these vehicles need regular maintenance to ensure the safe travel of the passengers riding it. But as the owner, you also need assurance that the transport company will shoulder responsibilities in case something wrong happens during the transport. A good company always provides their clients with an insurance policy so you will receive the necessary amount in the presence of dents, scratches, and other problems that your vehicle comes along the road with.
Big vehicles might take longer time to transport as compared to small cars. The right transport company will provide you with a detailed schedule on when the delivery will arrive. But it would be better if you can coordinate with them on your preferred schedule because you might be using these vehicles for business purposes or travel schedules on rare occasions. It is essential to schedule in advance, so you and the company have enough time to arrange the proper service.
Lastly, charge on transport service is usually billed by weight. Mini-buses, buses, taxis and coaches might cost more than others. It is best if you have the right transport company that asks for an affordable payment on your huge vehicles. One additional reminder, keep your tank empty so it will not add on the weight of your vehicle. Establish your budget, requirements, schedule, and consider great deals. Keep your vehicles safe with the right transport company.

Chapter 1
Bleeeeeeeeeeep. Bleeeeeeep. Bleeeeep. Bleeeep Bleeep....Bleep.
We were close, I knew, I just knew that we would end up actually having to enter the school, my hopes of just a walk by flew out of the window.
I slid down the iron gates sighing. I hate schools, nasty, dirty places filled with stupid teens who think they rule the world, now I would have to spend God-knows how long stuck in one hunting for a spector! of all things.
I sighed loudly as Sam came out of the van, looking way to smug for my liking.
"So am I being a father or a brother?" he asked, damn I hated it when he knew he was right.
"Brother, you dont look nearly old enough to be a dad." Sam pouted, he did look young, like me I guess, he was nearly 19 yet he looked about 16, he had dark hair like me, though his hair was thicker and not nearly as curly.
He was pratically skipping ahead of me down the gates into the school, not caring that I was the one who had to enroll.
I picked myself off the ground groaning, showing the empty world I was annoyed with the situation, like that would change anything, then I trudged after Sam.
It was early in the day, so I could see the kids acting like muppets right infront of me, girls with their skirts way...and i mean way too short, showing of way to much thigh. Orange make up, thick eye lashes and worse of all, low cut shirts, they basically looked like baby whores.
The guys werent much better, though thankfully none of them were wearing orange make up and skirts.
Most of the kids stared at me as we walked past, my brother looked like he always did, stupid, he was massive, nearly six foot but skinny as a pole, so all his shirts hung off him awkwardly and his jeans were always slightly too short.
And he was playing up for some of the girls near by, I heard one of the squeal "your Irish!" before erupting into a massive fit of giggles, it was ridiculas, we barely even had accents after being in England for such a long time.
"Lets go Sam," I said grabbing his shirt as I walked past " I don't have time to pay your bail if you get arrested for harassment."
He came along , not put off at all, I did what I always did as he waved at some more girls who were sitting on brick wall, I scanned the groups, I could see the main groups, the 'popular' kids that was easy, they were boring. No. I needed the odd kids, they are the ones who attracted trouble.
There were a couple of possibles from the way in, the guy with dyed black hair and red contact lenses with several nose, ear and lip piercings was the first, or his friend, the small ginger kid who was shaking so much he looked like he was having a fit.
No, its never the obvious ones, there are always the subtle clues, the confusion, the odd way of holding ones self, the 'daydreamer' attitude, were probable signs of spector semi-possesion.
We were talking to the woman on reception when I saw the first possible candidate, and probably the only real canditate too. She was sitting in the office, she was wearing the usuall school uniform, black skirt, only slightly too short, though she was wearing a thin, black hoodie over the top, zipped right up to the neck. She also had a large, thick grey hoodie, which was as long as her skirt and bunched up at her wrists, a brown backpack on the floor covered in odd badges and was wearing those converse shoes that lace right up to the knee, in deep blue.
She was holding a cloth to her head and I could see the blood running from a cut there, from the odd times she removed the cloth it looked like she had walked into a locker.
I glared over at her, she had deep auburn hair that was shining in the rare sun light, and she was staring at the floor, not embarresed, she looked, annoyed.
And then she glanced up at me.
I smiled in as friendly a way as possible, but she just glared at me, her deep brown eyes like ice, I felt my smile drop, but I didnt look away like she thought I would, and as i expected after a while her expression sofened and she looked away.
Whilst my brother was filling in forms, a flustered, very red in the face nurse came in, trying to sort out this girls injury.
"Just let me look!" she moaned, grabbing for the cloth.
"No! Its fine, I just want to lessons, or home, or where ever!" She said, jumping to her feet, wincing slightly as the blood rushed to her head.
"Please! let me help you!" The nurse cried, plasters at the ready.
"I don't need your help." The girl said bitterly. It seemed to have some meaning to the nurse.
"I know its been hard for you Lucy, after the accident and all." The nurse said sympathetically, placing a hand on the girls arm. The girl shook it off.
"You don't know anything." She spat.
Lucy, got it, I let my brother lead me away after that, I knew enough from that, this had to be the girl who was linked with the spector, I just knew it. She was the one who was friends with the girl who died, she had to be.
I sat through the boring meeting with the head teacher, and smiled and pretended like I normally do, as I walked out I saw Lucy with a nice shiny plaster on her head, and resentment in her eyes.

About us
Since its founding in 2012, Westward Leaning has grown to be one of the world's leading independent sunglasses brands.
According to the New York Times, our brand is "best known known for its glitzy mirrored lenses" and "its steadfast commitment to offering a limited selection of universally-flattering, unisex, perfected frame shapes." Our mirrored lenses come in an ever-growing spectrum of colors, from the muted and subtle to the ultra-neon and bold, and we currently have nine core frame shapes.
We have a cult following of stylemakers around the world, and are a favorite of celebrities— People magazine called us "Hollywood's hottest shades." You can find our glasses at most leading retailers, including Barneys, Net-a-Porter, Nordstrom, Saks, Revolve, FWRD, and Fred Segal (click here for a complete list of stockists).
Our iconic "rhombus" side swatch—a unique material that we inlay in a slanted parallelogram groove on the temples of all our sunglasses—is made from materials as diverse as antler, wood, reflective neon polymers, and anodized aluminums. The unique material inlay, in our brand's sideways-slanting shape, has become the identifying feature of all our products.
Every unique material we use for the "rhombus" is carefully selected not only for its aesthetics, but for what it represents: each of our sunglasses were inspired by a particular human achievement, and we try to reflect those achievements and an awareness of social issues in our designs. For us, a great product is as beautiful as it is meaningful.
You will not find any models on our website (unless they are customers, like Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevigne). This is not because we don't think models look good in sunglasses; it's because there is no "typical" Westward Leaning customer. We have never designed a gendered product, and we market the same sunglasses to all age groups and ethnicities. We want everyone and anyone to love our sunglasses: whether you're a grandpa or a teenage girl, you should be able to put on a pair of Westward Leaning sunglasses and feel cool. We believe in a more democratic form of fashion—one that is not dictated top-down-- and draw inspiration from our customers around the world. We don't need models, we have fans (and fans who are also models!). To see people in our sunglasses, search #westwardleaning on Instagram, or head to our Street Style page. Everything we've done-- from pricing our product to sourcing materials sustainability-- has been to maximize the breadth of our addressable market.
We make every effort to be as ethical, sustainable, fair and socially-conscious as possible in every decision we make. But we recognize these are only sunglasses; if you want to help the world, donate to UNICEF. That said, we use no animal products unless they are naturally shed, like our antler (we challenge you to find real leather that is softer or more durable than the NovoSuede used in our cases), and as Californians have designed our glasses with every ethnicity and face shape in mind. We visit all our factories on a regular basis, and our main production facility is a family-run business that has been passed down through generations. We know how expensive eyewear can seem, and are obsessed with the quality of our product: every single component of our sunglasses and unique packaging is subject to rigorous quality control, and we pride ourselves on offering outstanding customer service.
These are only sunglasses. But we want them to be the very best sunglasses purchase you ever make, and the most flattering pair you own. We want you to feel good, and look cooler.
Westward Leaning will be donating 25% of the proceeds from their Spring 2017 collection to the United Nations Foundation. "We designed our glasses for the universe and to be universal, and wanted to support an organization dedicated to peace therein," said founder and Creative Director, Robert Denning.

Lancashire Hospice's Birthday Gift
Business gifts specialists Ad-Options Ltd of Leyland celebrate their 25th anniversary by presenting gifts to fellow Lancastrian silver anniversary celebrators St Catherine's Hospice of Lostock Hall
St Catherine's Hospice in Lostock Hall opened in 1985 – the same year that business gifts specialists, Ad-Options Ltd were formed in Warrington, before a move to Leyland two years later. To mark the occasion, the latter has presented the former with 1,000 branded Ad Loop keyrings that can be given out as incentives to potential donors who can support the charity's excellent work in the community.
Maureen Nickson, head of trading at St Catherine's Hospice, received the gifts from Steve Ward, managing director of Ad-Options Ltd, in a presentation at the Lostock Hall facility, and will be presenting the striking fluorescent loops to supporters of many of the Hospice's forthcoming events during their anniversary year.
The timing of the presentation was significant, with 29th April marking the precise anniversary of the first care activity that took place within the home in 1985.
Steve Ward, managing director of Ad-Options Ltd, whose main website at BusinessGiftUK.com features on the loops as sponsor, said:
"We are delighted to be able to share our anniversary year with such a prominent local institution that provides a superb service to those within Chorley, South Ribble and Preston who need its care and support.
"When we discovered the link, we were very pleased to be able to make the offer to donate these ad loop keyrings free of charge. Loop fobs always prove to be well received gifts, and will provide the recipient with a constant reminder of the Hospice service to the local community.
"Hopefully it will encourage more people to support the excellent work they do, and help their 25th year to be one of their most successful so far in terms of fundraising and awareness."
# # #
The Ad Loop keyrings have been provided by printed business gifts and promotional items specialists Ad-Options Ltd of Leyland, Lancashire, who were founded in 1985 and celebrate 25 years of trading in 2010 to make them one of the UK's longest standing promotional product retailers.
For further information and photo opportunities relating to any press releases from Ad-Options Ltd and their online trading arm including BusinessGiftUK.com, BlankKeyrings.co.uk and LoopKeyrings.co.uk during their silver anniversary year of 2010, please contact Adrian Ward or Stephen Ward via 01772 435 010, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Client management systems can open up a host of online services to make firms more competitive, says Ian Muirhead. Ian Muirhead is head of Sifa.
The march of IT has not passed the financial services sector by. Using in-house client management systems and hooking up to the latest online services, solicitors can more than hold their own in the wider financial market.
Keeping detailed client data is crucial in many fields of work, but it is particularly important in the financial services sector as a basis for both compliance and future contact. It also gives firms a head start when developing computerised record keeping and database marketing systems.
This is because at the heart of all such client management systems lies a database containing, as a minimum, clients' personal contact and family details, employment record, earnings and tax status, house and mortgage information, investments history, particulars of other professional advisers, and a summary of objectives and attitude to investment risk.
The advantage of holding this information on a computer is that it need never be re-entered on application forms and can be transported automatically into other software applications, such as calculators, client reports, valuations and tax returns.
There are a number of client management systems on the market, some of which have a bias towards packaged investment products, and others aimed towards securities work.
When choosing a system, the same general IT selection rules apply. Assessing the financial standing of the software vendor and the quality of after-sales support it offers is important, as is choosing a system that runs on the industry-standard platform, Microsoft Windows.
Financial services systems usually stand alone from the office computer network, and client contact data is fed in from other parts of the firm and then expanded.
One of the main reasons for maintaining the system separately is that financial services terminals will usually be connected – via a modem – to one or a number of remote quotation or information services.
The most important of the firms offering such services is The Insurance Exchange, which provides online advice on life and pensions policies and collective investments. As well as supplying quotations, its latest development, known as the Common Trading Platform, allows data and proposal forms to be sent in an interactive environment.
Financial advisers often link up with The Insurance Exchange before acquiring a client management software system. The cost of linking up is a reasonable £250. Of course, coupled with an in-house system (all the main packages integrate with The Exchange), the process of calling down quotations without having to re-key information which is already contained in the software factfind greatly simplifies the process.
To take full advantage of the interactive services, however, users are recommended to use PCs with a minimum of a Pentium P133 processor and 24Mb of RAM.
Financial advisers are now required to provide "key features" information to clients for whom they arrange collective investments, and several new software providers have begun to offer this information online.
Using such a service will clearly cut down the need for hard copies of product information, but some financial advisers are understandably reluctant to import yet another piece of software and no doubt expect that, in time, a similar service will be available through The Exchange.
Apart from client management, the other area of software development has been in the field of best advice. A number of software houses offer access to product databases, either online or via floppy disk. In-depth information can be obtained on a vast range of up to 30,000 investment products available in the UK, according to many different criteria.
The manner in which this information is presented varies. Some systems are "front office", for use in client meetings, while others are designed primarily as "back office" research aids – although the latters' ability to present information in the form of pie charts, bar charts and comparative tables can be very persuasive to clients, too.
It is through these IT developments that the providers of financial services products to independent advisers are driving down costs to the levels already achieved by the banks selling insurance.
The Solicitors Independent Financial Advisers' (Sifa) Advisory Panel has recently reviewed the systems available and identified the Plum Client Management system and the Aequos Best Advice system as being particularly appropriate to the needs of solicitor independent financial advisers. Sifa has negotiated preferential terms with the providers of these systems for members of the Sifa Network. For details about Sifa Network membership, call 01372 721172.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 88 reviews
This small friendly hotel was in a perfect position. Very comfortable. Simple and reasonably priced.
Very basic hotel - felt like a private room in a hostel. Furnishings plain white and not ample. Bed pretty hard, pillows not great, towels thin. In short, it was fine as a place to sleep but in no way luxurious. Balcony was nice to have though, staff and super friendly, the restaurant downstairs looked nice but in this neighborhood there was so much to choose from. For those who get up a bit earlier than the rest of Barcelona, Starbucks in nearby. And the metro is steps away.
Friendly staff, great location. Overall an excellent hotel for the price.
Very ritzy area a block from La Pedrada. Loved the 2 terraces with views of Gaudis masterpiece, staff were all quick to solve any problems. Bed very comfortable and shower had good pressure and hot water. The one downside was the room was as charming as a hospital ward. A little decor would go far. Painting 1 wall in a color other than stark white or dumping the drab dark curtains for a pretty pattern would make the room more pleasant.
The best feature of the hotel was the staff. They were unfailingly helpful especially after my son fell ill with gastro enteritis. They quickly sourced a doctor and allowed us to retain a room well after normal checkout time whilst he recovered. The hotel is in a great area at the top of Passeig de gracia, minutes from La Pedrera and the shopping district. Great food too. And we got a very decent room for 4 comfortably for 110 euros.

By The Associated Press
YET ANOTHER RECORD: Buoyed by record crude prices this summer, Exxon Mobil Corp. broke its own record for biggest U.S. quarterly profit -- $14.83 billion for the July-September period. The previous mark was Exxon's own earnings of $11.68 billion in the second quarter of this year.
NOT IMPRESSED: But Exxon Mobil's global production for the quarter was once again below year-ago levels, this time at the lowest point since Exxon and Mobil merged in 1999. Its share price sagged in trading Thursday.
WHAT'S NEXT?: Because crude prices have fallen so suddenly in the past couple of months, a string of record profits for Exxon Mobil and other oil giants may be coming to an end. Some analysts say the best thing for the industry is relatively stable crude prices, perhaps settling around $75 a barrel.

Train travel really is the best way to travel long distances. We may think differently in a few months time, but getting on the train that was taking us from Chumphon all the way north to Phetchaburi really was exciting and welcoming.
We visited Chumphon's train station the day before our departure to check the times of the trains heading north to Bangkok. We were headed to Phetchaburi which is on the way to the capital. The southern line Thai Railways timetable found online also had the same information. Click here to see the timetable.
Choosing Train number 40, we left Chumphon at 12:46pm. Ok, maybe a bit later than that. The price of our tickets were 425 Baht each. Not bad considering it is a 4 hour train ride with comfy reclining seats, clean toilets, and of course, excellent moving pictures out the window as we go along.
Along with the above amenities, we also had the luxury of a trolley dolly who worked our carriage. It does feel weird receiving food and drinks on a train. We received red curry chicken and rice for lunch with a cup of water to wash it down. A few hours later afternoon tea was served which consisted of a pastry and a weak tea that came with a lot of sugar!
A little later than the official arrival time of 4:44pm, we reached Phetchaburi. We have both been here before so we knew the town enough to work out where we needed to get to. All the same, when we have pre-book accommodation we usually request to be be picked up from the train station, bus station or ferry port. It doesn't hurt to ask and hotels and guest houses will often chuck in a free transfer or at least arrange something for you and tell you the local going rate. Our pre-arranged songteaw arrived and it cost us 30 Baht for the both of us to get from the train station across town to the hotel.
Short Version:

Rare is the professional matchup when what an offense will initiate is utterly predictable for a defense.
The latest installment of the Packers-Vikings rivalry, Sunday in Minneapolis, has the makings of being one of those unusually see-it-coming battles on the gridiron.
"We're not going to completely abandon the run game, but we're not stupid, either," Packers quarterback Brett Favre said Wednesday. "We're not just going to go out there and just pound it. It would be three-and-out every drive."
A tactical maneuver on Favre's part? Perhaps, but Green Bay isn't fooling itself into believing that THIS will be the game it finally gets its atrocious running game going.
The Packers all but abandoned the run last Sunday, limiting themselves to 12 carries to 47 pass plays, but they managed to rally past the Chargers late and stay unbeaten at 3-0.
Now, the NFL's worst rushing offense (average of 57 yards per game) must face the league's third-best rushing defense (67.3).
The Packers don't plan to be running themselves scared into an all-out passing attack, however.
"We want to run the football," right tackle Mark Tauscher said. "They're good, and we realize that they were the best in the NFL last year and they're right up there this year against the run. So, it's a huge challenge. I don't think many people expect us to be able to run the football there. That's just another challenge for us."
As much as head coach/play-caller Mike McCarthy has been turned off by the ineffectiveness of both his young halfbacks and the ragged zone blocking of the line to the extreme that he's called pass 70 percent of the time, a partial commitment to run the ball is imperative Sunday.
The Packers in recent years reversed earlier terrible fortunes amid the deafening din of the Metrodome by running the ball with some regularity. They had at least 23 running plays each of the last three times playing the Vikings on the road and won two of them.
The yardage produced wasn't fantastic, in some cases on par with this year's ugly numbers, but being anything but one-dimensional was critical to faring well. Having the ability to effectively run play action helped Favre post passer ratings in the 100s in the games at Minnesota the last four years, good for a 3-1 Packers record.
"In the games that we've won over there or had a chance to win, we ran the ball better," Favre said. "I think in games where we threw 50 or close to 50 times, we probably didn't have that much success, kind of playing into their hands. With that in mind, we may have to do that."
For now, the Packers are getting by with frequent spread formations and periodic empty backfields to advance the ball in a vintage West Coast passing scheme.
Favre, though, acknowledged the offense has become predictable and wonders when it will be stopped dead in its tracks if the great imbalance isn't resolved.
"It will continue to get harder if we don't get more people involved. I mean backs, tight ends," Favre said. "I think our tight ends are doing a great job, and there's only two of 'em (Donald Lee and Bubba Franks). Whether it be screens, dump-offs, different options with our tight ends, that's no secret to anyone. We can't keep throwing slant routes to Greg Jennings and a little pop route over the ball to Donald Driver. It's worked, but we have to broaden that because there's only so many short passes you can run to two, three guys."
Tauscher took a different perspective on the matter, however, essentially advocating the old adage "if it isn't broke, don't fix it."
"We're going to do what we feel is necessary to win football games. If that means we're going to throw for 350 (yards) and run for 50, that's fine," Tauscher said. "But, we realize that we need to run the ball better and we're going to be able to run the ball better. It's just going to come down to us imposing that on people. That's what we're looking to do."
SERIES HISTORY: 93rd meeting. Packers lead series 46-45-1. Green Bay swept the season series between the division rivals last year. Minnesota had won the previous three meetings, including a 31-17 decision in an NFC wild-card playoff game during the 2004 season, the teams' only postseason encounter. Each of the last nine regular-season meetings, dating to 2002, has been decided by no more than six points — the Packers won six of those.

Christmas is coming and… the booksellers are a bit perplexed. This year, there's no big Christmas bestseller emerging.
Last week, there were only nine titles that sold more than 10,000 copies each, compared with 18 that sold that many in the same week last year. That's not good. Trade magazine The Bookseller always looks on the bright side but even it admits this week "that many of the year's big Christmas titles are yet to take off". That's one way of putting it. Another is that many would-be book and present buyers are beginning to report that they've gone into bookshops recently, browsed around and not been inspired, ultimately leaving empty-handed.
Currently, the overall bestseller lists are led by two children's books, both by writers with legions of impatiently enthusiastic fans. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul by Jeff Kinney (Puffin, £12.99) has only been out for two weeks but it has become the fastest-selling title this year, shifting 120,000 copies in that fortnight, thus overtaking Awful Auntie by David Walliams (HarperCollins, £12.99) which, having sold 100,846 copies in its first two weeks back in September, has now gone on to score a total of 317,000 copies altogether.
But the adult market is yet to find an equivalent winner — that one book that, in that final delirium of gift-buying, everybody plumps for. Last year, that book was Sir Alex Ferguson's My Autobiography which sold 103,378 copies in the week before Christmas alone. Before that, in 2012, it was our great mate Jamie Oliver with his 15-Minute Meals, with 117,911 copies bought in that crucial week. Before that, in 2011, it was our pukka mucker, Jamie Oliver, with Jamie's Great Britain, with 73,088 copies snapped up over those seven days. And before that, in 2010, it was… can you guess? Go on! It was our ole pal, Jamie Oliver, with Jamie's 30-Minute Meals, with 149, 540 copies snaffled in that last-minute panic.
But this year the booksellers still don't know whence their salvation will come, or even if it will come at all. It's not that there isn't another Sir Alex — there is, sort of: Roy Keane with The Second Half co-authored by Roddy Doyle (Weidenfeld, £20). It is selling well enough (10,186 copies last week) but it's not quite the same thing, is it? And there is absolutely another product from our top man, Jamie Oliver — Jamie's Comfort Food (Michael Joseph, £30). But, by his own glorious standards, it is doing only moderately well, selling just 7,943 copies last week and currently standing at number 18 in the overall bestseller charts. What's the problem? Perhaps it is simply that it is the 16th big cookbook he has published since kicking off with The Naked Chef of 1997 and, in a sense, they have one and all been comfort food. Is it possible that at last we are sated with Jamie and have already passed peak Oliver?
There has been one big surprise hit so far this year, There's Something I've Been Dying to Tell You, the autobiography of the actress Lynda Bellingham (Coronet, £16.99). She begins with her diagnosis with cancer of the colon last year — " 'Cancer, what do you mean cancer?' I asked in amazement" — and looks back over her life at the same time as she describes the rapid advance of her illness with great courage and good humour — "I can't imagine Victoria's Secret will ever have to consider underwear for wearers of a stoma". The book, in which Bellingham acknowledges that she has little time left, was published on October 14 and she died on October 19. In the wave of sympathy that ensued, it has deservedly sold very well, 140,382 copies so far, making it second only to Mary Berry Cooks as the bestselling non-fiction hardback of the year. But is it festive, is it Christmassy? The head of books at Morrisons has claimed in The Bookseller that "it makes the perfect Christmas gift for mums". It does?
But then the booksellers are desperate. There used always to be a wacky surprise hit at Christmas. In 2002, Schott's Original Miscellany suddenly sold a quarter of a million copies. In 2003, there was Eats, Shoot and Leaves by Lynne Truss which eventually sold 2.5 million copies — and Bunny Suicides. A Christmas to remember! For several years publishers responded by churning out endless little quirky books (Crap Towns, Does Anything Eat Wasps? Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Shit?), hoping to hit the spot. That trend peaked in 2007, by my reckoning. Perhaps it didn't look so funny after the credit crunch. Such random speculation has been pretty much abandoned by the publishing industry now.
They still have annuals, of course. There's Guinness World Records and Ripley's Believe It or Not. There's the Beano, the Lego, the Dandy, Minecraft, Doctor Who and Peppa Pig. There is, dreadfully, also a trend for mass market "festive fiction". Christmas in the Snow by Karen Swan (Pan, £7.99) is currently outselling Jamie Oliver and it's closely followed by A Nightingale Christmas Wish by Donna Douglas, A Family Christmas by Katie Flynn and The Christmas Party by Carole Matthews, the clue in each case being in the title.
Then there are pet memoirs and novels. It looks as though A Street Cat Named Bob may be overtaken this year. Bob's latest offering, A Gift from Bob, in which he helps his owner James Bowen select a Christmas present for his girlfriend (an artistic piece of concrete from a building site) has sold a measly 18,043 copies since October and may be overtaken by a surprise rival. The Guest Cat by Japanese author Takashi Hiraide (Picador, £7.99) describes how a Tokyo couple whose marriage has gone stale are brought together again by the intervention of a tiny neighbourhood cat called Chibi, and it's doing well, The Bookseller's latest tip for a "left-field Christmas bestseller". Come on, Chibi! It's either you or Russell Brand. Quite a responsibility for a micro-moggie.
And what should you do when you find yourself in the bookshop this Christmas? Think back. It's being reported with surprise that over a quarter of Christmas-time bookshop revenue in the past few years has been spent on backlist titles. Older titles, perhaps re-packaged and re-presented ("curated" is the word) but still books published a while back.
Is this a sign of an industry that has lost its way? Au contraire. It's always been preposterous that new books are supposed constantly to replace the books that have come before, the new Jamie annihilating all previous Jamies. If you don't find this year's books exciting, don't give up. Good books don't have an expiry date (although effectively Christmas books do have precisely that). Think back. Strike out.Reuse content

Sore LoserMature
The next morning:
John slammed down the papers his investigator passed him.
"I don't fucking believe this?!"
Tammy put her hand on her head. She dropped her head in dispair. Drake and Jojo's Marvin Room played through the center city gym's conference room.
John yelled, "fuck! How can I be so fucking stupid? This shit was right in front of me?"
The private investigator named Vince continued, "you signed these papers? You didn't read this?"
John yelled in pure anger, "FUCK!!! She was my girl. She was my new start! She was what my parents wanted for me. I thought I could trust her."
He started to punch his wall. His breaths became sharp and quick. Sweat cover his face as he couldn't connect his emotions.
Tammy remorsely said, "you need to calm down before you knock that wall down."
Vince gave him more evidence, "this is when you signed it. This is what you're losing."
Tammy wiped her eyes and whispered underneath her breath, "this is karma. You are paying for your actions for cheating on Denise with Nikki. You are paying for actions of not being true to yourself. Allowing yourself to full fledged deep."
"Did you really just say that? Are you kidding me, right now!"
Tammy slammed her hand down, "I told you that Nikki wasn't for you in the beginning."
John snapped towards her, "it was my decision! Now..."
Tammy interjected, "this was yours!!! Now you must lay in the shit that you ALLOWED. Don't be mad that I pointed out the obvious!"
Tammy stood up and slammed the door behind her. Nikki opened the door.
She asked, "why is she here? I fired that bitch last week."
John's skin was pulsating a bright red. Papers, contracts and pictures of Nikki were scattered all over the the table. Naomi followed Nikki into the room. They were in shock as they realized what they walked into.
Nikki smirked, "you hired a private investigator? Ha! You were smarter than you look."
John wiped the sweat from his face, "you took my gyms! You took my pride and joy from me."
Nikki smiled, "yes, you signed over both of your new locations to me. Thank you."
John aggressively pointed, "FUCK you."
Nikki chuckled, "are you mad John? That you gave me an investment to open two new gyms in the honor of you! I am taking the center city location as well; leaving you with no money and nothing. That is what you fucking deserve. You don't deserve happiness! You deserve my ass to kiss!"
John sharply inhaled, "you're not taking my main location."
Nikki chuckled, "it's too late."
Vince interjected, "it's not too late. You can fight the takeover. But she has custody of the two newest locations."
John wiped his head as he started to pace the side of the room. His frustration took over the room.
Naomi felt remorse as she text Denise: (09:14 am) the news just broke. John will need you soon.
Nikki smiled, "ha! It is over. You lost. Don't be a sore loser! Up your standards. Naomi, call the police, because they are trespassing! "
