Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My case began as a Vawa case in 2011 and was approved 2013.
Now I will apply for residence, how long will it take to get the interview and what should I expect in the interview. If I am going to take my daughter with me, will they asked questions to her about the violence.
The interview will be scheduled approximately 5 months after the application is filed. The interview generally focuses on your eligibility for lawful permanent residence. You are typically asked the questions on the application for adjustment of status. You may also be asked questions related to any criminal arrests, unlawful presence, illegal entry, etc. You are not typically asked any questions regarding the abuse at the interview as that matter has been decided.
That being said, I cannot tell you exactly what you may be asked or potential issues that may come up as there is insufficient information available. If you are concerned about how the interview will go, you may want to consult an experienced immigration attorney in more detail about the matter.

It is difficult to predict how long it will take for the interview.
Depending on your daughter's age and what you put on the VAWA application, they may, or may not ask her questions.
I suggest bringing an attorney with you.

The interviews are scheduled fairly quickly 3-5 months. I've had some officers ask general questions about the abuse. But mostly they focus on the eligibility for the green card. I'd recommend consulting an attorney.Ask a similar question

Two new promotional clips from "That Awkward Moment" have been released, watch them below:
Zac and his co-stars from "That Awkward Moment" were out promoting the movie at Twitter and Facebook headquarters last week. We apologize for the late update – there are still a lot of things we need to work on, specially on the gallery, so please bear with us while we try to get everything up-to-date.
Appearances > Appearances in 2014 > "That Awkward Moment" Social Takeover at Facebook Headquarters – February 14
Appearances > Appearances in 2014 > "That Awkward Moment" Social Takeover at Twitter Headquarters – February 14
I have added HD captures of Zac presenting at the People's Choice Awards earlier this month with a special thanks to Bri for providing them to us!
InStyle has published an article about Zac on their website, in which they talk about his impeccable manners during his latest interview for the magazine. Read it below:
When we sent our intrepid writer Mary H.K. Choi to interview the lovely Zac Efron at L.A.'s Chateau Marmont for the February issue of InStyle (on newsstands now), she knew he'd be a nice guy, but she had no idea how nice. "Yep, it's true. He's a gentleman," she says. "He stood up when I arrived and was clearly slightly early because I was right on time. He offered to share his roasted artichoke and when I said it didn't qualify as sharing food, he countered with 'they're just like nachos.' At the end of the meal he lunged for the check and insisted on paying, saying it was 'customary.'" Zac's take on all this? "It's just the way I am, the way I was raised," he says.
He also offered up these polite bites to satiate your appetite for good, old-fashioned etiquette:
Respect your elders.
"This one's important. You always have something to learn from people who have been through more than you. Be open and receptive to what they know."
If you meet a girl's parents, treat them like they're normal people.
"Ask questions. Be engaged. Put yourself in their shoes. If I had a daughter and some guy came home with her, I'd be on him like a hawk. When I meet people's parents I know my place. It's not that hard. Just be sensitive."
Get your face out of your phone.
"Please. Be in the moment and be present. I feel disconnected like I don't know where I am if I'm on my phone too much. I'm also just the type to call. I'm not good on text."
Be punctual.
"I do my best with this one. It's part of being decent and respectful but I'm not in control of the schedule most of the time."
Finally, don't be that guy.
"If there's a party and they won't let me friends in. I'd leave. No question. Who wouldn't leave. I wouldn't want to go to that party. That's a lame party."
Souce: InStyle
Zac has announced via Twitter that he'll be answering fans' questions along with "That Awkward Moment" co-stars Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller this monday. Make sure you send him yours!

- Description
The Takahashi TOA-130 is the first of Takahashi's newest optical design: The Ortho-Apochromat. This 21st century innovation employs a newly designed triplet using special elements to produce the highest order of color correction. Orthoscopic means perfected visually and Apochromatic means you're free from those strange violet glows which often accompany bright stars or planets. Thanks to the ingenious design of layering an FPL-53 Extra-low Dispersion glass element between two extreme quality crown and flint elements - perfection ensues. And what's more, it's air spaced, so there's no oil between the elements to leak or become opaque with age. The lens cells are durably constructed to withstand transport - yet are fully able to be collimated should the owner wish to make adjustments. With 1/12th wave accuracy and an airy-disc Strehl ratio of 0.992, the optics on the Takahashi TOA-130NS Ortho-APO are as near to perfection as you can get!
The Takahashi TOA-130 Ortho-APO is a dream come true for those who want to use a medium format camera. It includes a deluxe 2.7" focuser. The 2.7" focuser will produce a usable 40mm diameter image circle for virtually unvignetted 35mm prime focus photography and a large thumbscrew locks the focuser tube in place without image shift. But that's not all. The focuser itself offers a generous 222.5mm of backfocus to allow the use of additional accessories, like adding on color filter wheels, etc. What's more, the focuser itself offers "no slip" stability with dual knobs for ease of use and 2" threaded eyepiece/accessory holder with 1.25" compression ring eyepiece holder also supplied - along with Scopeguard finder quick-release. There is a System Chart available for planning out your accessories for use with this splendid telescope.
The Takahashi TOA-130 Refractor is perfect for visual, CCD and classic astrophotography. The f/7.7 focal ratio with a 1000mm focal length is long enough (using the optional LE-ED 2.8mm Takahashi ocular, for instance) for high magnification observations of the Moon and planets and yet will produce a 2.5° field at 20x when used with the optional Takahashi flat field LE-50 2 " ocular. The high order of color correction of the Ortho-Apochromat Series produces images with saturated color and, thanks to the numerous knife-edged baffles, it also displays an image with amazing contrast - all packaged in a short, 32" tube with the dew preventive lens shade retracted that weighs only 22 pounds.
Takahashi quality... Through and through!
Takahashi Product Number: TSA0130
Important Note: Takahashi America requires that their telescope optical tube assemblies be shipped via 2nd Day Air or faster in order for the full warranty to be in force. Please make sure you choose the appropriate shipping method in your shopping cart or, if you speak to an OPT associate, request 2nd Day Air or faster. If you are purchasing a telescope and mount package or any accessories to accompany an OTA, please contact OPT for a shipping quote, since only the OTA is required to ship second day air but all other products can be shipped separately via any other available shipping method. Thank you!

- Best overall refractor ever produced for the Amateur Astronomer.
There are larger refractors and there are less expensive ones, but nothing on the planet will give you a life time of pleasure like this one will. Its overall size, optical quality, an stunning visual and photographic performance, makes it the most balanced, practical, usable optical instrument on the planet, Period!

Absolutely brilliant! Planetary views beyond any description, deep sky observing very good too, due to excellent contrast.
The TOA series are the only triplet refractors out in the market which have two FPL-53 elements which means better color correction than any apochromatic refractor made today.
Watch out the weight...this thing is a beast!
1= Houston, We Have a Problem & 5= It's Out of This World
The TOA130 (1000m @ f/7.7 is Takahashi's newest line of triplet refractor, surpassing any refracting telescope currently being manufactured. It's hard to come to grips with just how good the TOA performs it has got to be the finest scope in this size class in the world. I'm not blowing smoke, the TOA130 changes the way you understand using a refractor and the way YOU would hope one would view like, only this one is REAL! The image quality is mind blowing, life like and real and the more you use this scope the more you want to and we haven't left our Solar system yet. What the TOA gives you when looking into deep space is another image quality that makes you truly take notice. As I do more of my viewing looking at Nebula, Star clusters and many of the amazing galaxies, the TOA will astound you with the way each object looks, not like a magnified image more like your cruising through space! The other portion about this scope is it's weight, IT is a BEAST at 22 lbs. and the focuser is typical Tak snap-to quality, the sliding dew shield is very good but it is the image quality that grabs you, that's a TOA130!

- Superior Grade Scope
I have looked through several scopes as both a casual observer and as a photographer and I have even built my own. There have been some good and some bad but none quite like this one. The Tak 130 is almost perfect. When visibly looking through the scope the shear contrast and detail of the object is so striking its like you can reach out and touch it.
I have found that the Tak 130 is excellent for planetary imaging. Unless I had tried it myself I never would have thought that a 130mm aperture would be good enough to catch planets. Is too small right? I was absolutely Wrong! On Jupiter I am able to resolve several swirly bands visually and photographically and cloud detail never before possible by any of my past scopes. For me the amount of detail that I can catch with this scope on a night or day of good seeing has gone from good (with my old scopes to freakish with the Tak. I do not consider myself a night time imager. I really like the sun but with my new Tak I have been staying up late to get images of all my old favorites just to see what the Tak can do. The old Wow factor that got me into photography is back.

- Great Telescope
There is nothing I could say bad about the Takahashi 130, it is a great telescope, the optics are almost perfect. In the middle of the city I was looking most M objects. Be advice that took 9 months to get mine but worth every minute and every dollar I paid.

Alberta debt clock an indictment of PC legacy of waste
EDMONTON, AB (January 9, 2014): The Alberta Debt Clock released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) confirms the PC government is throwing away the Alberta Advantage as they saddle taxpayers with more than $17 billion in debt before the next election, Wildrose Finance Critic Rob Anderson said today. Despite Premier Alison Redford insisting Alberta finances are in good shape, the CTF calculations show Alberta's debt sits at $7.7 billion, with the provincial government picking up $4 billion of debt this year alone.
"This government would want you to believe that it has turned a corner on its finances, but the ballooning debt shows that claim could not be further from the truth," Anderson said. "Ms. Redford campaigned aggressively on not returning Alberta to debt, but immediately after the votes were cast set us on the road to $17 billion in debt by 2016. Her integrity and competence on this issue is entirely compromised." The government's Fiscal Management Act passed in 2013 obliterated fiscal transparency by dividing spending into operational and capital expenses, eliminating the definition of "accumulated deficit" and giving the government a $40 billion debt ceiling. The Auditor General has criticized the government for complicating and obscuring its fiscal reporting. "As the numbers continue to climb on Alberta's debt clock, it's a reminder how far Redford has dragged us down the painful path of debt," Anderson said. "It took a generation to pay off former Premier Don Getty's debt and it will take new leadership to recover from the incompetence and waste of this PC government." Instead of sacrificing priority front-line services in order to finance misguided priorities like partisan political campaigns, corporate welfare and pay and perks for political appointees and executives, the Wildrose will respect tax dollars, eliminate waste and mismanagement and focus on delivering good public services.

Conducting an employee survey is a useful way to gain insight into a variety of information in an organization. If executed correctly, employee surveys can be a window into understanding your employee's needs, how to manage your staff and their productivity effectively, operational discussions, improvement areas, engagement levels and more.
Further to RIM Marktforschung, employee surveys can be conducted through a variety of methodologies, from online surveys to traditional paper surveys. No matter the method, they are an essential tool in any organization and should be utilized as such.
Here are some of the top reasons why you should conduct employee surveys in your organization, and how they can positively impact your business:
Academic assessments are an essential part of an efficient and operational education system. Assessments exist to help track a student's achievement and progress, and can assist in identifying challenges and shortfalls in the educational systems.
The CMEC, or Council of Ministers of Education, plays a pivotal part in designing, implementing and analyzing both Canadian and international assessment programs. Studypug, an online learning portal, says that CMEC also examines other education-based institutions and programs to see if they are meeting the expectations for students' performance at essential points in their education. Below are some of the functioning parts of the CMEC, and how they contribute to the system and academic success internationally.
The PCAP, or Pan-Canadian Assessment Program, is a series of tests to examine and score student's aptitudes in mathematics, reading and science. The PCAP is administered in grade 8 in all Canadian provinces and territories. The PCAP replaces an earlier assessment, the SAIP, or Student Achievement Indicators Program. The PCAP is coordinated by CMEC and has been administered every three years since 2007.
The PISA, or Programme for International Student Assessment is also an assessment program but on an international level. It examines the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students in reading, mathematics, and science across the globe. PISA has been administered annually every three years since 2000. All ten provinces in Canada, as well as many other countries throughout the world, take part in PISA. Canada's participation in PISA is a partnership among Employment and Social Development Canada, CMEC, and Statistics Canada.
The PIACC or Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies is an international survey that measures skills in adults between 16 and 65 years of age. The PIACC collects information that includes their backgrounds and qualifications, as well as how their skills are used in their careers and everyday life. All provinces and territories participate in the PIACC, and Canada's involvement is collaboration between CMEC, Employment and Social Development Canada, and other government and federal agencies. Statistics Canada manages the implementation and organization of the information acquired from this program.
The ICILS or International Computer and Information Literacy Study is an international assessment backed by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). The ICILS focuses on assessing competencies in Grade 8 students with using computer and information technology. ICILS was used in spring 2013 for the first time. Two provinces participated in this study, and CMEC assisted in coordinating each of their involvement.
The TEDS-M or Teacher Education and Development Study in Mathematics is an international comparative study that focuses on how well teachers are preparing and instructing students on topics in mathematics. Four provinces in Canada participated in this study, and again, CMEC coordinated their involvement.
The PIRLS or Progress in International Reading Literacy Study is an international assessment administered every five years that measures trends in students' reading and literacy achievement, as well as strategies and policies related to literacy. This program focuses on students in Grade 4, with a mean age of 9.5 years. This study is carried out under the guideline of the IEA. Recently, the IEA has created a new extension to the PIRLS 2016 assessment, called ePIRLS – it is an innovative assessment of on-line reading.
The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is an additional international assessment led by IEA, and it evaluates science and mathematics knowledge in students who are in Grades 4 and 8, respectively. TIMSS was first used in 1995, and it has been administered every four years since.
Results from these different assessment programs are now discussed in Assessment Matters! — a series of research notes designed to examine educational issues in Canada and Canadian jurisdictions.
Physiotherapists play a significant role in the recovery and rehabilitation of people afflicted by injury or illness. Through physiotherapy methods such as exercise, manual therapy, education, and advice, physiotherapists help to maintain the health for all ages of patients, while assisting in managing and preventing pain and diseases.
Before your physiotherapist begins treatment with you, they will perform an assessment on you to help them evaluate your injury or illness. During the evaluation, you should expect your physiotherapists to ask you detailed questions about how the injury came about, and any problems or symptoms that you are experiencing as a result.
Following the assessment, your physiotherapist will begin to devise a treatment plan, which will include a variety of physiotherapy methods. Here is some information on some of the most common physiotherapy methods:
This hands-on approach is best and most often used for almost all types of injuries. During manual therapy, physiotherapists usually employ conventional procedures such as massage, stretching and hands-on strengthening exercises to re-train the body into proper movement and mechanics.
Physiotherapists often develop their specific, tailored treatments around this physiotherapy method.
Ice is an effective treatment for injuries that involve swelling and inflammation. Ice constricts the blood vessels in the injured area and helps to reduce and sometimes prevent the inflammation that occurs as the result of an injury.
Cold therapy can also leave the joint more mobile and enhance manual therapy. Evidence shows that the application of ice to inflamed areas has been demonstrated to reduce significantly swelling in soft tissue injuries.
Further to a Physiotherapy Vancouver Specialist, ice is a complimentary treatment that partners with other forms of manual therapy.

Addiction could be for anything ranging from snack foods, TV episodes and shows, some benign behaviours etc. But, addiction in recent days has been used to refer to disease that is considered dangerous which needs diagnosis and treatment. This is because a true addictive behaviour is something which is worse than a bad behaviour and has the capacity of self-destructing oneself.
Some medical experts accept that the addiction disease is a mind disorder, while others claim it to be a physiological issue. Due to the connection that this disease frequently has with illegal substances and illicit activities like smoking and drugs, it is also seen as a criminal issue.
Most specialists accept that the addiction disease is the state of a person's compulsive dependence on or temptation towards a behaviour or a thing. They also agree that an intensive outpatient addiction treatment program is optimal. Stedman's Medical Dictionary describes it as "routine mental or physiological reliance on a substance or practice that is outside intentional ability to control".
You can be dependent on any number of things—from those that are characteristically unsafe to those that are generally safe. Basic addictions include:
• drugs
• liquor
• tobacco
• sex
• betting
• caffeine
• shopping
• exercise
• tanning
Whatever the type of addiction practises you might have, it is generally dangerous in nature and deteriorates with time. Somebody with this disease is not able to control how regularly or the amount he or she utilizes the drugs or performs the addictive conduct.
The indications of this disease fluctuate in different persons. They will likewise rely on the substance or conduct. On the other hand, most addictions have qualities that may happen either abruptly or occasionally. These include:
• expanded utilization of or fixation on the substance
• change of way of life, social exercises, or companionships so as to oblige utilization or conduct
• loss of enthusiasm for side interests, objectives, or exercises that used to bring satisfaction
• pushing ceaselessly close relatives and companions who may have the capacity to distinguish an issue
• loss of work or other negative business related issues
• amazing changes in identity somebody who was once cordial and social may get to be withdrawn, or the other way around
• loss of control over recurrence or amount of utilization
Normally, addicts without willpower to get out of this disease are highly affected.
Science has demonstrated that that addict's mind takes after specific examples that can bring about both a physiological and mental reliance. This is fact even after only one involvement with either drugs or behaviour. With the addiction disease, the parts of the cerebrum that control inspiration, inclination, praise, and focus are empowered to bring extreme joy.
Numerous specialists accept that certain individuals are inclined toward this disease due to their interesting mind science, while different specialists contend that habit can happen to anybody.
Most dependence specialists accept that it is typically brought about not simply by physiological reactions in the mind. As indicated by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), elements like heredity, environment and psychological wellness. Indeed, a few components are typically included, which can make habit a troublesome condition both to forestall and treat.
While not all addictions bring about the same negative results or ruinous practices, most take after an example of negative movement. In the first stage, the individual investigations with the medication or conduct. He or she might possibly have a decent affair, yet the mind records the action and the memory of utilization.
Next, the client discovers himself or herself coming back to the substance or conduct all the more regularly and discovering joy from utilizing. In this stage, the cerebrum is shaping an adapted positive reaction to the demonstration.
In the interminable phase of compulsion, the individual will keep on utilizing the substance or perform the conduct keeping in mind the end goal to accomplish the same positive reaction he or she initially experienced. He or she will do this regardless of negative results.
Since this disease is a mental and physical illness, it is regularly regarded with conventional strategies, for example, drug treatment and directing. Inpatient or outpatient restoration projects are basic beginning stages for some addicts. Inpatient treatment is frequently useful for constant medication clients who need therapeutic help as they detox.
Numerous specialists likewise prescribe 12-stage recuperation projects, for example, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Sex Addicts Anonymous, and others. These are care groups drove for addicts. There are additionally a few pharmaceuticals accessible to treat drug dependence. These are taken under a specialist's direction, regularly for a long time. One sample is the utilization of methadone in heroin addicts.
Less conventional medical medications incorporate cerebrum incitement treatments like electroconvulsive treatment or vagus nerve incitement. These are for the most focused toward individuals with more than one issue, similar to medication dependence and misery.
For best results, specialists typically prescribe a blend of way of life and conduct changes irrespective of therapeutic based treatments. Additionally, someone who is addicted must be willing to change his or her conduct, quit utilizing drugs or connecting with a part of the addictive conduct, and look for help before the procedure of recuperation can even start.
Deep adherence to heavy consumerism lifestyles has made the society more obese than ever. The USA is a large testament to that. And so, it has made weight loss a big part of the change that everyone must undergo, otherwise our population will die faster and younger. Losing weight and becoming healthy is easily attainable nowadays even with as little help possible. The mentality of people is just distorted because unhealthy processed food is more rampant, and sadly more affordable.
Unfortunately, to add to that complication is our society's current obsession with sedentary lifestyles. We eat and spend more time interacting with computers today more than ever. All because technology now rules the universe. If you know anyone, or if you yourself needs the big change to take effect in your life, there is good alternative in the HCG diet.
The advantages are astounding and with regular HCG hormone injections, weight loss results is at everyone's doorstep, in record time.

With the same calculations in mind, a 90 day HCG diet then can kick off up to 90 pounds. If you're shopping for other alternatives in the market today, HCG's results will never be toppled off.
As the 500 calorie intake diet makes it restrictive, keeping the approved list of foods you can eat and sticking to it religiously can facilitate the weight loss effectively. Sugars or starches are a definite no-no and the focus should only be lean proteins, and vegetables plus other healthy foods to balance their diet.

This might not be a delicate matter, but unwanted or excess body hair can cause real worry for both women and men especially in warmer weather conditions. For the individuals who like to show off their skin with enthusiasm, laser hair removal can be a convenient and safe way to feel and look beautiful.
Laser hair removal offers a long-lasting, comfortable and fast alternative to waxing, plucking and shaving excess hair because these processes can be very painful and are effective only on small areas for a short timeframe.
This treatment is painless and does not require anesthesia. It approximately takes thirty minutes to perform depending upon your desired area. At the same time, there is no need to rest and you can return to normal day to day activities immediately. Hence, laser hair removal is considered one of the most universal cosmetic processes for removing hairs on the bikini line, underarms, and legs for women, and the shoulders, back and chest for men.
Hair-removing lasers target the dark pigment or melanin in each hair, and after that travel down to the shaft of the hairs to spoil the follicle at the hair base. On completion of this process, the hair either becomes less noticeable, finer or falls out after some time. With the help of pigment-seeking technology, lasers can easily target hairs without harming the skin around it. At the same time, many lasers also utilize special cooling technology in order to protect the skin from damage or discomfort and this makes laser hair removal a very comfortable and safe treatment for sensitive areas.
Well, the laser hair removal will only work when the hair follicles arrive at a certain phase in their growth cycle and this takes several sessions to entirely remove the excess or unwanted hair. Most of the people can go back to their normal daily life immediately after completing the treatment, though the results of laser hair removal are permanent or long-lasting.
While planning to undergo laser hair removal, the patient must limit electrolysis, waxing and plucking for at least six weeks before the date of treatment. The main reason behind this is that the laser will also target those hair roots, which are for the moment removed by plucking or waxing.
The patient should also avoid sun exposure for at least six weeks before and after the laser treatment because sun exposure leads to complications and makes the laser hair removal process less effective.
It is sure that Laser removes the excess or unwanted hairs reliably and quickly, but it's vital to know that the results will surely vary from individual to individual. As the laser targets the dark pigment, this kind of treatment might not be effective on very light, white and grey hairs.
Before starting the laser hair removal procedure, you must make sure that you are able to manage the time between sessions without excessive sun exposure or tanning because this might confuse the laser process to target both hair as well as the skin.
To get the most out of your aesthetics procedure, always ensure that your service provider follows laser hair removal best practices.

If you've ever tried to organize payroll, scheduling or both for a large company with multiple shifts, union and non union employees and different locations, then you know what a nightmare it can be. Let's look at a few scenarios here.
First, one of your staff members calls in and says that they are sick and you need to replace them for location C. You go into your excel spreadsheet….yes, that is painful…and you try to pull together a list of five staff members you can call. So, you go through this exercise. But when you call Mary, she tells you that she's not a full union member yet, so she's not actually able to work in location C yet. Then you call Bob, and he tells you that he's actually working tonight…he's covering a shift for Max over in location B. You call Alex and she tells you that she would love to but she just got off of her shift and union rules say that she has to have a minimum of 12 hours before her next shift starts. Finally, you are super happy when you call Sheila and not only is she able to work in location C, but she seems very excited to take the shift. So, you schedule her and you think life is great.
Unfortunately, Sheila had already reached into her overtime pay and this shift would now be paid at double the rate. And now you know why Sheila was so thrilled to take this shift. Unfortunately, your direct supervisor is going to be furious with you because you have totally messed up her budget. And the union is calling wondering why some members are getting double overtime shifts while others are not even getting any overtime shifts at all.
This is a nightmare scenario and one of many that HR staff find themselves in when they don't have a fully integrated hr software solution. With a proper employee management software, a supervisor would be able to pull up relevant staff to fill a position, they would already be aware of who was eligible to work at a specific location, who was eligible to take the shift so that none of the rules were broken and all budget concerns were being met.
A great hr software system will usually be web enabled and allow for real time updates. So, if staff are covering positions, anyone in HR will know that right away. And if rules are being broken or overtime is being incurred, it will not come as a surprise. In other words, a good system will include hr, payroll and scheduling.
With complex organizations or even just large organizations with multiple locations or multiple kinds of shifts, hr and scheduling can be cumbersome, inefficient and end up costing an organization in time and resources.
Freight transport is the physical process of transporting commodities and merchandise goods. Shipping by land can be by train or by truck. In air and sea shipments, naturally, ground transport is required to take the cargo from its place of origin to the airport or seaport and then to its destination because it is not always possible to establish a production facility near ports due to limited coastlines of countries.
There are two very common means of land-based freight services transport. One solution is to use long haul or short haul trucking firms to transport the goods or commodities. Of course, this involves securing some kind of an agreement with a trucking company to pick up, transport, and deliver the goods to a specific location. The other solution involves the use of railways to move goods. Freight cars or containers are loaded with the goods, then moved through a network or railways until arriving at their destination.
Traditional manners of shipping like postal delivery and courier services may not be enough anymore especially in the business sector. Modern companies require more options when moving products, goods, and services and all of them would likely require efficient and cost effective techniques of shipping.
Freight forwarders arrange the best means of transport, taking into account the type of goods and the customers' delivery requirements. They use the services of shipping lines, airlines and road and rail freight operators. In some cases, the freight forwarding company itself provides the service.
Some of the tasks required include investigating and planning the most appropriate route for a shipment, taking account of the perishable or hazardous nature of the goods, cost, transit time and security. Another important thing is offering consolidation services by air, sea and road, ensuring cost-effective and secure solutions to small shippers who have insufficient cargo to require their own dedicated units.
It's also important to maintain communication and control through all phases of the journey, including the production of management reports and statistical and unit cost analysis. It's also important to maintain current knowledge of relevant legislation, political situations and other factors that could affect the movement of freight.
Finally, it's necessary to seek out efficiency savings through consolidation to support sustainability. Reliable capacity for your priority freight is critical. And make sure you have a wide variety of equipment options — from trailers to temperature controlled trucks — to match your specific needs. Of course, freighter services companies vary in size and type. There are those operating on a national and international basis. And then there are more regionalized or specialised firms.

The assistant manager of a convenience store who pulled a gun and shot at an armed robber Saturday has been fired.
Johnny Jarriel Jr. was the manager on duty last Saturday morning when an armed robber approached him the office of the Circle K store at 5785 West Stewart's Mill Road. Store officials declined comment Thursday, but the separation notice given to Jarriel lists "Possession/Use of a weapon on company property" as the reason for his termination.
Jarriel said he has a state permit to carry a concealed weapon. He said that before he used the gun to shoot three times at a crazed gunman who was robbing the store, his manager knew he carried the gun at work and never said a word. Now that he had to use it to try to protect himself as well as another employee and two customers, he finds himself unemployed after more than three years on the job at Circle K.
"I don't want anyone saying I think I'm some kind of hero or something, but think about it," Jarriel said. "I had a glassy-eyed man talking crazy sneak up on me, pepper spray me and threaten to kill me and everyone in the store. All I did was try to save my life and the lives of the three other people who were in the store. He had already said he would kill me and I had no idea what he would do if we got out into the store. He had already shown he was willing to do anything."
Jarriel said he knew of the company's "vague" rule about guns, but in an area where robberies have happened before, he felt that he had to exercise his constitutional right. As he recapped those terrifying three minutes that began at 9:05 Saturday morning, he said he wouldn't have done anything different even if he could.
"I was working in the office when he walked into the back office and caught me by surprise," Jarriel said. "I had a cashier out front and there were two other customers in the store. Before I even knew he was there he grabbed me from behind and sprayed a whole can of pepper spray in my eyes. It was incredible how bad it burned.
"He grabbed me by the collar and slammed me on the ground. He pulled out a large silver automatic weapon and put it to my head and said 'give me the (expletive) money you (expletive). I will kill you.' I said OK, let's go out front and get it."
That's when Jarriel said he saw an opening. As the suspect, described as a black male of average size and build, turned to walk out front, he pulled a gun he had in his front pants pocket.
"He was about 10 feet ahead of me and I raised the gun and just started shooting," Jarriel said. "Everything was blurry because I still had pepper spray in my eyes. That's when he panicked and ran out of the store."
GeorgiaCarry.Org is a group that has fought to make sure the Second Amendment right to bear arms is protected. Co-founder James Camp said Thursday this scenario is one that is all too familiar in Georgia and one that will be repeated until the legislature moves to change existing laws.
"It is an unfortunate situation where someone is pushed in a terrifying scenario to have to defend themselves only to lose their job for doing so," Camp said. "But as of now, Georgia law provides no teeth for an employee who loses his job for using a gun to defend himself."
Camp said that while a legal battle would be tough, he urges Circle K customers to tell management how they feel.
"They can vote with their pocketbook," Camp said. "If they feel he had a right to carry a gun and defend himself, they should let the company know, spend their money elsewhere and tell them that this man deserves to have his job back."

Yoritomo Kisho was a bushi gunso in the Mantis Clan.
Demeanor Edit
Kisho's wretched behavior provoked controversy among his kin, who either despised or greatly appreciated him. He was an irascible, irreverent jokester and prankster. [1]
Training Edit
Kisho showed little prowess or skill in personal combat during his time at the Yoritomo Marine dojo. It was not until his fourth year that he suddenly and inexplicably began dominating weapons exercises. He had discovered that the humiliation in the eyes of others as they were defeated by someone they had never considered a threat was more amusing than any joke. [1]
Station Edit
Kisho was promoted for his aggressive style and his tendency to completely overrun anyone he faced in combat. The men standing next to Kisho were among the most aggressive and effective in the entire force, as he inspired them with his constant shouts regarding the lineage and personal habits of their enemies. [2]

Children are spending too much time memorising lists of composers rather than developing a love of instruments in school music lessons, an award-winning composer has warned.
Howard Goodall, a former government adviser, said there was "no point" knowing the names of 200 famous composers before children reach the age of 16.
He said the practice was akin to the approach taken to music by the leadership of the Nazi party, adding: "It didn't do them any good".
In a speech to the Festival of Education at Wellington College, Berkshire, Mr Goodall also criticised GCSEs in the subject, saying they were "too shallow and too wide".
He insisted Britain needed more musicians than mathematicians, saying people with "advanced numeracy skills gave us the global meltdown in 2008", whereas music and the arts are the fastest growing industries in the UK.
The comments come amid concerns that large numbers of pupils are abandoning qualifications in the arts because of Government reforms to school league tables that prioritise performance in core academic subjects.
Mr Goodall, who won an Ivor Novello award in the 80s and composed the themes to TV shows such as Red Dwarf and Blackadder, said GCSEs in music were "too wide", with few areas covered in detail.
He also criticised the fact that pupils were taught by "chronological timeline", saying "concepts in music are really what it's about".
"I don't think in fact we should do that huge catalogue of the history of music until A-level," he said. "It should be a history of music A-level. A separate A-level."
He said schools put too much weight on "knowing all those thousands of composers, which, by the way, the Germans at the beginning of the Second World War were very conscious of, and it didn't do them any good".
"There's no point in knowing all these 200 people and what they did; what you want to know is music," he said,
Mr Goodall, who helped advise the previous Labour government on singing, said it was "nonsense" that "captains of industry are telling us how to run schools now".
It was seen as a swipe at the Confederation of British Industry which has consistently emphasised the importance of maths at the centre of the timetable.
He said: "You know people with advanced numeracy skills gave us the global meltdown in 2008?
"If you ask the fastest growing industry in the British economy at the moment, fashion media and the arts, if you ask them what do you want from people coming out of school, I'll bet you any money you like that the first thing they will say is not 'can we have lots more people with advanced arithmetic skills?'.
"What they want is people to be creative and to love their subjects and to be passionate, because that is where the future is going to lie."
A spokesperson for the Department of Education said: "We agree that current music GCSEs are not sufficiently broad or challenging.
"That's why we announced recently that music GCSE will be reformed with new qualifications first taught in 2016. We want experts to help draw up these new GCSEs and we would urge Mr Goodall to contribute to this process."

Relf has seen very limited action this year, playing only in mop-up duty in the Southeastern Louisiana game. A classmate of Carroll's, he was redshirted in 2007 not for lack of ability but lack of pure quarterback experience in high school, where he was a wide receiver converted as a junior. His system did not do much to prepare him for college, either, but State couldn't resist recruiting Relf for his obvious gifts. In fact, Croom has referred to him before as "another Anthony Dixon" running out of the backfield.
"Certain things Chris does pretty well," Croom said. "When we signed Chris, he was a one-year quarterback out of high school, very athletic, has a big arm, runs the ball very well. We planned to bring him along at a slow pace, at his own pace, because we just felt we wanted to put him in a situation he'd have some success and get some confidence. And in a limited capacity I think he can help us. So we'll do some things and use him as a change of pace."
But what that pace, or change, might be, Croom wasn't letting on today, other than there will not be a set script Saturday. "I'll just go with my gut."
WELL GROUNDED: It's fair to say HB Robert Elliot has been a patient young man. After redshirting last season, the freshman did not play in the opening game and saw limited mop-up duty against Southeastern Louisiana, five carries in seven yards. Then when Elliot did get into the Auburn game the ball never came his way. But at Atlanta, his perseverance—and potential—got some rewards at last. Elliot finished with nine carries for 36 yards, including his first college touchdown, against Georgia Tech. Not only did he carry but Elliot caught, three passes for 34 more yards. Did the kid go wild with this first taste of success? "I took it pretty well," he said, staying low-key as ever. "I gained a lot of confidence off the last game."
See, young though he is, Elliot has matured already to the point he judges by the entire game's work and not just the good points. In fact he will talk as much, or more, about his mistakes at Atlanta than the score and yards. "I still had a lot of mental errors. I had three missed assignments and you can get beat any time with three missed assignments. So I've got to study my playbook harder and get those down."
So while we're being candid, what were those gaffes? Elliot counts them off. "I was supposed to be lined up outside and I lined up inside, that threw the whole play off. Y'all would never know it went on. Then I missed picking up a linebacker. And one time I ran the ball, I was supposed to be hitting the front-side and I ran the ball it back-side."
If this sounds too self-critical, remember that a year ago Elliot probably wouldn't have known what he was doing technically wrong—or right—any better than fans or reporters. It's a measure of the study he has already put into learning a SEC system that his critiques reflect, not a lack of confidence in his abilities at this level. And he does have confidence, such as on that six-yard scamper through traffic for State's only touchdown at Tech.
"I knew I was going to score, because the line was blocking well and opened up a huge hole," he said. "You could have run through that hole and scored!" A most charitable comment given the obvious age and condition of the interviewer, that. The point being though that Elliot wants it to be just the first of many such plays, and there must always be that first memorable play sometime.
"It meant a lot. Sitting out last year, I hadn't scored a touchdown in two years so it meant a lot." What will it take to get more touchdowns for himself and the entire offense? "We've got to get everything down-pat. Once we get all our missed assignments down we're going to be a great offense. Just stay confident, stay positive, don't ever think negative because we can turn this thing around."
And when it comes to confidence, no Dog gushes more of it than Elliot's elder cohort. For that matter the offense has the same sort of faith in Anthony Dixon that the junior halfback has in himself. "We could have a negative-15 rushing in a game," Elliot said, "and he'll know we'll come out and get 200 the next game."
GOT THAT FEELING: The biggest Saturday for State of course was by WR Brandon McRae, with 10 catches and 102 yards. Needless to say the double-digit grabs were his personal high here, since he had two catches all of 2007 and 50 yards. McRae had twice that output in this one contest, when it seemed every pass thrown came his way.
"I was just feeling it, I was in a zone," McRae said. "I don't guess they were scheming for me because everything was open, I just had to make the plays."
Now it wasn't as if McRae was Mississippi State's sole offensive target that afternoon. And nobody came back to the locker room whining that quarterbacks Wesley Carroll and Tyson Lee had singled-out #6 for special treatment. "Nah, it ain't like that!" McRae laughed. "We spread the ball out, I think Bell had seven catches, Jamayel had four, Rob had some. So we spread the ball out." Which is something State had done fairly well since last season, getting most of the available wide-, tight-, and backfield-receivers involved as available.
But if McRae is option-A this month, it's no surprise. After a frustrating sophomore season when he couldn't translate an outstanding spring camp into on-field results, the former Morehead State transfer has emerged as a quality SEC receiver. And this week he's second only to Kentucky's Dickey Lyons in catches per-game. Auburn did a good job trailing him, holding McRae to two balls; but he had eight for 72 yards against SELa. So big games aren't unusual now.
"When I'm out there I can tell, I can just feel it, like I'm going to have a blowout game today," he said. "I felt it big-time at Georgia Tech because out there warming up I felt the high intensity. I just went out there and did it."
McRae also benefits from State's emphasis on passing the ball so far this season. Not, he notes, that it is intentional; defenses have forced Dog quarterbacks to do more checking-off, or looking to second and third choices when the front is too forbidding. Don't misunderstand, McRae and his wideout partners like being so involved.
"But we wanted to be winning. Hopefully it's going to change around, we're going to give it all we've got. We really plan on being a balanced offense and putting more points on the board like we need to."
INJURY UPDATE: S Keith Fitzhugh (concussion), S Derek Pegues (ankle), and MLB Dominic Douglas (Achilles) were upgraded to full-status Thursday and should be in their accustomed starting spots Saturday evening. ORG Mike Gates (hamstring) was in limited-yellow but it expected to play at LSU, backing up starter Craig Jenkins.
Croom said today that KS Eric Richards will make the trip to Baton Rouge and be available in backup duty on kickoffs and punts.
