Shaun's secret Santa?
Pop quiz: Which New Plymouth councillor used his Facebook page to compare his mayor with Father Christmas with the line "off to spend remainder of day in office of man with white beard (he don't have a belly of jelly and I suppose his nose goes red when his face does)"? Here's a hint. His first name rhymes with Unicorn and his last name with Seasick. Oh what the hell, it was Shaun Biesiek. Sorry mate. But Unreported can't keep a secret and when you're right there's no need to be ashamed.
No, not that Duchess
Unreported is certainly not ashamed of our love of Kate Middleton, the strikingly good- looking commoner who stole Prince William's heart and is now pregnant with what will be the third in line to the English throne. Imagine our horror then on reading yesterday's racing pages and seeing the scratching in race nine at Pukekura Raceway yesterday was none other than the Duchess of Cambridge. Crikey. We don't believe in omens but that didn't prevent us nearly choking on our cornflakes.
Style Council lacking
Talking about things that catch in your throat, we turn to a New Plymouth District Council meeting and an awkward fashion mix-up. In what will surely go down in wardrobe history councillors Sherril George and Marie Pearce attended wearing the exact same delightful shade of orange. In these days of Skype and pix- texting such apparel repetition really is unforgivable. On another note Unreported can't be sure if it was the quality of the debate at the meeting or the reporting that made the fashion double-up become the one thing that stood out.
Call us sceptics
In other stand-out matters we turn to Taranaki District Health Board media liaison Sue Carrington. Ever helpful as she is, we're not sure if it was a mistake when she titled maternity and child health clinical services manager Leigh Cleland the Cynical Services Manager or if she was trying to send us a coded message. Then again, accidents happen. A recent New Plymouth District Council report described Fitzroy's popular beach side kid's pool as a "swallow pool designed for small children". No word on how many it takes to fill it up.

Best Ways to Adopt a Child
Every homeless child wants a family and a home where he can be loved and cared, and parents who can fulfill his needs. This article contributes a bit towards bringing such parents and children together by clearing the concept of child adoption.
Adoption is a process where the adoptive parents take up the responsibility of a child and nurture him till he becomes independent enough to lead his own life. It brings a lot of happiness and also certain challenges in their lives. Previously, a couple would consider it if they were unable to bear one. However, in today's times, the ideas and views towards it have changed tremendously. Every couple may have their own reasons to go for it, but the most common reasons could be:
- Childless couple
- Parents who love children
- Single parents who desire to enjoy parenthood
- Parents who want to contribute to the society
- Parents who have genetic diseases and thus, choose to consider it
The reasons to why children are homeless, and left for adoption can be plenty, whether it is one's financial state, family issues, or unwanted pregnancy. Children are innocent and bring a lot of joy and happiness into our lives. Yet, they are left to face the world all by themselves. They deserve love, affection, care, family, and a home, too. They too have the right to lead a good and secure life.
The process of child adoption is slow and tends to get a little irksome. It's quite a big deal to go for it as it brings a lot of changes in the lives of adoptive parents and the child. They have to create the same relationship bond with him/her as they would have it with their biological child. So, before getting into this, find out whether you really want to consider this option. Adopting a child is a lifetime commitment, and therefore, this decision should be taken carefully. Many interested parents abandon the process involved because of its complexities. Remember that it is time-consuming and takes up all your energy. However, to make it easy, it is advisable that you study the process and create a plan to go about it. There are many options and procedures involved in this process. Couples who are interested in it must be aware of certain types of adoption to meet their needs.
Adoption Practices
In this process, the birth parents and the adoptive parents can share their information with each other. It's a great way for a child to know their biological parents. However, after the process is complete, both the mentioned parents can choose to stay in contact with each other.
Here, the birth and adoptive parents meet and exchange the information, which is initiated by the respective institute. Once the child grows up, he has a choice to contact his biological parents and develop a relationship with them.
This is indeed a good option for the biological parents to maintain their privacy. They can contact the couple who are interested in adoption, or choose not to remain in touch with adoptive parents at all.
In this process, the birth parents hand over their babies to an adoption agency. The parents who are willing to adopt a child do not meet the biological parents. However, the medical information is often shared with them.
There is no role of any related agency in this particular process. It takes place very rarely and happens when the biological parents and the adoptive parents know each other and make an agreement to adopt the child.
Another way is where the birth mother selects the family for a baby while she is pregnant. During this period, she might choose to bond with the family and get to know the parents better. In these cases, the birth mother is either unmarried, a single mother, or it's an unwanted pregnancy, and thus, she chooses to put the baby for adoption.
A couple who is interested in it can always contact the orphanage or the social institutes for the same. Child adoption is a great contribution to the society, and there are certain important steps that are considered to check the eligibility of the parents.
Home and Family Check
The concerned agency will assess the house in which the child will be spending his life. During the process of this step, a social worker observes the surroundings and interacts with the family to ensure that the child grows in a safe environment. If there is anything suspicious about the family, the parents do not become eligible for the same, and the procedure is immediately stopped.
The parents have to undergo certain evaluations to check if they are capable of bringing up a child. Every family is not perfect, but certain issues might reveal that the parents are not capable of raising the child. These measures are important to prevent the children from any future harm or danger.
Training on Parenting
Though the parents are excited about getting a new child at home, they still have to be counseled and trained as they have to nurture him/her all their life. When a child is growing up, he/she will begin to learn many new things and would someday want to know about the biological parents. Therefore, the adoptive parents need to be trained and prepared prior to facing such situations with him/her.
Court Validation
After the parents clear the previous steps, they have to go through the last step of court validation. In this step, the court finalizes the adoption, wherein the biological parents have to agree on giving up the responsibility of their child completely. The child is then placed into the new home under the supervision of a social worker for around 6 months.
The cost involved in this process varies as it depends on various factors. Adopting a child within one's country might be cheaper than going for the one internationally. In case you consider the former option, then it might cost you around USD 5,000 to USD 40,000, or it might be even more depending on the services provided by these agencies. For the latter alternative, the price may range from USD 7,000 to USD 30,000.
Adoption is a great deed as it gives a chance to children to lead a better and secure life. But, before taking a step towards it, it is essential for the parents to be familiar with all the factors related to it, and consult a lawyer for right guidance.
Ways to Deal Sadness and Loneliness After Your Divorce
Divorce is traumatic, and the broken relationship signals the loss of all your commitments and promises you had made together for your future. You may or may not have wanted it to happen, but the chain of agonizing events it triggers can be hard to deal with. When you got married, you always thought you would spend the rest of your lives together. Never once did you believe that the union would end in a bitter breakup. But life doesn't always turn out to be a bed of roses. Divorce can be all the more painful when children are involved, for them the absence of a parent from their lives can be very hard. A negative outcome of divorce can be insecurity and the inability to put your faith in the persons you love. This means harboring a twinge of resentment in your heart, and keeps you from opening up to the people who want to help you out in your time of need. This will only plunge you deeper into depression and not help you in getting on with life.
Recovering from a separation depends on your will power and courage. If you think that this is a permanent phase and that you have no way out of it, it won't help matters. There is no need for you to feel that the happy days of your life are all over. This is just a temporary phase, and it's solely up to you on how long you want to make it last. The sooner you deal with your problems, the faster things will start taking a turn for the better, and you will be able to start life anew. Here are some guidelines on how to overcome the sadness after your marriage has ended.
Dealing with Sadness and Loneliness After Divorce
Do not mask your feelings. The intense anger and pain built up inside needs to be shown the way out. Cry and scream if you want to. Talk to your friends and family, confide in them. Write a diary if you want. Rid yourself of all the conflicting emotions huddled inside. Get it over with. Negative feelings bottled up inside can be mentally and physically draining.
Getting over a divorce does not happen in a flash. It can be a lengthy process. It's not wrong to mourn the loss of your spouse. Give yourself time to compose your feelings. Have patience. Forgive yourself and your spouse. Whatever happened is water under the bridge. It's time to pick up the pieces of your life, plan for the future, and move on.
Surround yourself with the people you love and care for. Do not sever any relationship with your friends and family. Don't forget you will need all the support you can find to get through this turbulent phase in your life. Do not hesitate to discuss your problems with them. Plan activities with them just as you did when you were happily married. Initially, it will prove tough. But you will realize that a day spent in the company of friends can seem surprisingly wonderful, and you may even realize you did not think about your spouse or the divorce when you were with them!
Get rid of all your spouse's personal belongings in the house and return them or just discard them. The more you see those things lying around in the house, the sadder you will feel. Rearrange the items in the house. Or even better, move into a new apartment. A change of scene can work wonders to uplift your mood and view life from a different perspective.
Pursue a hobby. Maybe it was something you never had time to do when you were married. Now that you are on your own, take it up again and immerse yourself in it. Or cultivate a hobby which will keep you busy for hours at a stretch. Join a hobby group, and find others who share the same interests as you do. An added benefit, apart from learning a new activity, is you get a chance to meet new folks and make friends!
Go back to work as usual. Spending the day with your coworkers and doing your office work may seem mundane and not appeal as much, but it's a sure shot way to keep your brain and mind occupied elsewhere, other than the recent breakup. Your marriage has ended, doesn't mean your job has to end too! Moreover, getting back to a routine you were used to will help in reorganizing your life, bringing back a sense of normalcy.
Join a divorce support group. Meeting people going through the same emotional turmoil will give you a chance to know more ways of overcoming the loneliness. Do not shy away from seeking professional help. Visit a therapist or mental health counselor, if you feel that the depression is taking a toll on your well-being, and pay heed to your family and friends' suggestions. Remember they want to see you happy and are only trying to help.
A bout of depression sees people either gorging on food all the time, or not eating anything at all. To forget the pain and suffering, people unknowingly resort to substance abuse, excessive smoking and drinking. This can take a toll on your health. Think twice before you seek refuge in any such activity. Take care of yourself. Eat a nutritious, well-balanced diet and keep up with an exercise regimen. Visit your doctor if your health is deteriorating. Pamper yourself. Buy new clothes, visit a spa or a salon, get a new hairstyle, and see the rejuvenating effect it has on your senses!
Try to get a hold of things and plan for your future, your post-divorce life. Before the divorce, perhaps your spouse was in charge of the household finances, but now since you are on your own, you have to pay the bills. Collect all important bank-related documents and get your finances back in order. Financial security is fundamental in getting your life back on track after a divorce.
If you have children, do not neglect them. They may be too young to understand the reason why a parent is missing from their lives, and you have to help them overcome this feeling of anxiety and insecurity. The negative effects of divorce on children may not be as obvious as those in an adult. As a single parent, your responsibilities towards the kids increase twofold. Be open with them, and encourage them to discuss their feelings with you.
Dealing with life after divorce is an arduous task, and how you manage your life and regain your self-esteem is subject to your mindset. Never forget that you can and you should get on with your life, for your own sake as well as for the sake of your loved ones. Structure your life such that you are back to normal again. It will take time, but the sooner you accept the situation and take matters in your hands to amend them, the sooner your life will change for the better.
Find a Pro Bono Divorce Lawyer
The prospect of divorce in itself is a messy affair for those involved. One definitely wants to get it right, as far as the legal aspects are concerned. However, paying for a divorce lawyer is not possible for everyone. Many people lose out on what they are entitled to just because they cannot afford a lawyer who can represent them well in the court of law. The enormity of the legal fees plays a major role for those searching for a lawyer.
Here is where pro bono lawyers come into the picture. A pro bono divorce lawyer is one who fights a divorce case free of cost, or if not, at least at a very nominal charge. Such a lawyer may not specialize in divorce cases, however, he may provide legal services in divorce at no or little cost to individuals or charitable organizations.
Why do Lawyers Work Pro Bono?
Pro bono is the Latin phrase which translates as 'for the public good' or 'in courtesy of the people'. Under the ethical rules of the American Bar Association, every lawyer is recommended to set aside 50 hours of pro bono service every year. Some individual State Bar associations may require its lawyers to put in lesser hours of such kind of service. Besides fulfilling the ethical obligation, pro bono cases enable lawyers to gain experience in fields other than that in which they specialize. For example, a criminal law attorney can act as a pro bono divorce lawyer, which adds to his portfolio, for his own good. However, the urge to act as a pro bono lawyer can also be absolutely out of unselfish interests. Even highly experienced lawyers take up cases for free in the same area that they specialize in, in case they feel that the case is challenging and interesting. Or sometimes, it could be strictly for altruistic inclination of helping financially challenged individuals, or those who have been laid off and are unable to meet the customary legal fees. Some lawyers take up pro bono cases if they feel that taking up specific cases would be for the greater good of the community.
Does this mean that anyone and everyone can avail the services of a pro bono divorce lawyer? The answer to this question is a big NO. One needs to DESERVE a pro bono service to get it. One requires to qualify on the basis of his financial status or some other disability, to be able to avail pro bono legal services. These legalities again depend upon those stipulated by the laws of one's residing state. The other common criteria that can entitle one for pro bono services is abuse in marriage. Be it physical, verbal, sexual, or even if it concerns one's children, abuse of any form can help one qualify for having a pro bono lawyer fighting the case. However, one needs to present strong proof of such abuse in these cases.
Ways to Find a Pro Bono Divorce Lawyer
Finding a divorce lawyer who charges less fees can be a difficult task, as most of the lawyers fighting pro bono cases do not advertise themselves. One way to find a pro bono lawyer is to call the general practice attorneys in one's local county and check if they are taking up pro bono cases. One can also contact the State Bar Association to find if there are pro bono divorce lawyers to take up a case. Certain firms have pro bono lawyers or have an assigned pro bono coordinator to look after such cases. Check with such organizations and legal firms to see if you meet the criteria to qualify for these legal services, for free or at a reduced cost. Ask your friends and family about lawyers who are willing to offer a pro bono service. It is always advisable to look for references of people who know such lawyers, so that you are sure, that despite working for no or lower fees, the pro bono divorce lawyer would handle your case efficiently.
It is very important to have an efficient divorce attorney. Despite all the benefits of having a lawyer fighting your case for free, employing a pro bono lawyer is not completely a rosy picture. There are pitfalls associated with it which one needs to be wary of. Many times, these lawyers do not have enough experience in handling divorce cases, as that may not be their field of expertise. It is best to do your research and talk to a couple such lawyers, if that is possible, before you are sure that you want a particular pro bono lawyer for yourself.
Consult with friends and family or those who can give references regarding the lawyer you are considering. The best help that you could do to yourself is to gather as much information about the laws regarding divorce, as you can. This ensures that you are not absolutely dependent on your divorce lawyer and left in the lurch in case things go wrong or not up to your expectations. Make peace with your past in a smooth and organized way, bereft of the hassles.
Locate the Right Divorce
If all marriages become successful, nobody would ever think of a divorce, and every couple would stay together happily always. But the bitter truth is that it doesn't happen always. A number of couples, who take oath during marriage rituals to stay together forever, get separated for many reasons. If you are considering of leaving your partner, you should plan in advance. Here are a few tips to assist you finding the correct divorce attorney.
1. Hide from Your Partner
Many married couple mull over quitting their partners at some point. But if you think the relationship can't be repaired, consulting a divorce lawyer and keeping it secret is a wise decision. We are telling to maintain secrecy not to give your spouse a surprise, rather to stop him from hiding assets. This is so because some partners make their bank accounts empty and hide assets to prevent division and sharing with their spouses.
2. Ask For a Free Consultation
Although many lawyers charge money for an initial consultation, there are attorneys who do it for free. In this initial consultation, you can know him/her well. Ensure he/she listens to your case carefully and give you correct guidance. The success rate of your divorce also depends on choosing the right attorney.
3. Consider Your Kids
If no children are there to bind both the couples into a tie, any renowned attorney can handle your case. But if you have kids, a family law professional must be contacted. They can not only handle the termination of your marriage but also they have experience with child custody concerns. Since many parents go for custody, and the process is hardly ever uncomplicated, a veteran divorce attorney in Orange County on your side can raise your level of confidence. Whether the case requires months or years for resolution, an experienced professional will be best preferred as he/she who is familiar with what you're undergoing. Most family law lawyers can even do the job of counselling to help children manage with the breakup.
4. Referrals From Friends and Relatives can Help
You might have friends and relatives who have probably gone through this situation. They will almost certainly understand your predicament; you can consult with them regarding their legal experience. Keep in mind that, only because they got a favourable resolution, doesn't denote their legal professional did an outstanding job. You should always find out how much emotional support he or she provided during the procedure. Because the dissolution of marriage can take several months or even years, emotional support must be taken into account when choosing a divorce lawyer in Orange County.
5. Estimate the Costs
Figuring out the cost for your case is important. Mostly the divorce attorney charges between $300 and $500 per hour. That being said, it is quite common for couples to pay out tens of thousands of dollars for their cases. If you don't do enough research, you may end up with a heavy hitter who will make a big hole in your pocket. Hence proper research is required regarding past success rate of the lawyer because you want to get what pay for.
Tip to Couples Counseling
Nowadays, with substantial increase in the divorce & break up rates in our society, couples counseling has become necessary to help partners work out relationships instead of just ending them. It is heartbreaking to see numerous people who invest time in a relationship, give up because of some challenging issues that they cannot work through. Couples counseling focuses on helping couples learn the ways to deal with their problems as well as the art to better communicate with each other. Generally most couples shy away from getting help due to pride, ignorance, or lack of finances to afford it, but the fact is that couples counseling usually offers wonderful results.
Most relationships normally start out wonderfully but over a period of time, the fire can diminish and each partner begins to get resentful, arguments occur, drift, emptiness, and a feeling of boredom ensues. It is remarkable to note that as per research, about 75% of couples that opt for counseling, feel as if their relationship has improved – odds that are substantial enough to get you to try this solution at least once.
Couples counseling is meant to give partners valuable resources & tools to make positive changes personally & together. Many times, a couple experiences dissatisfaction and therefore, decides to end the relationship instead of revealing the root cause of it. If the root cause of the issue is found and dealt with, the relationship can take a u-turn, but if no one is there to find out the prevailing problem, the relationship will surely lead to failure.
Couples counselors will help facilitate honest & open communication amongst partners. Communication is the most important element in a relationship, therefore, learning how to effectively reveal what is there in one's mind is very essential for success. Imagine, a wife is angry because her partner does not spare enough time for her, but never communicates frankly to him about the issue,not giving him the chance to change this. Her partner may not be aware that he is neglecting her time or that he should be spending more time in her company.
Relationships require a great deal of work. Couples counselors can provide you the tools to work on your relationship. They will help you to see what is wrong as well as assist you in coming up with possible solutions. They can certainly give insights into the underlying negative patterns in your relationship thereby, encouraging change. Your counselor will act as a facilitator and guide for building a successful relationship.
So, if you are in a relationship and it is struggling, consider seeing couple counselor. Sometimes a relationship simply needs a professional to help the partners through some issues. The counselor can help you find effective ways to transform self-defeating relationship behaviors and attitudes into constructive behaviors that will definitely assist you for creating a more satisfying relationship with each other.
Tips to Start Fresh After Divorce
A painful divorce changes everything in life; it changes the way the world looks at you, it worsens your personal & professional life and ruptures your faith on love & relationships! A divorce can get even worse if you are left with a child from your unsuccessful marriage.
Emotional support from friends and family might help you and your child in coping with stress of divorce. But, when it comes to rebuilding both you and your child's self-worth, relying on the professional support seems more beneficial. Beside professional support, it needs a few steps to follow for reinventing happiness, peace and most importantly, the life:
Help kids express feelings: A divorce can feel like the loss of a parent for a child. It is your responsibility to help your child in adjusting to the new circumstances by valuing their feelings. To do so, encourage them to open up about their thoughts. Remember, you can de-stress your children only by allowing them to express their frustration and sadness. You can inspire trust by showing that you understand.
Spend more time with kids: One of the key responsibilities, as a single parent is to spend more quality-time with your little one. A child tends to look for isolation during this stage. Never let them stay alone. Accompany your child, cook together, take him/her out for a movie, and indulge them in some recreational activities. Besides improving the child's state-of-mind, helps in building a strong rapport between you and your child.
Give reassurance and love: Children have a remarkable ability to heal when given the support and love they need. Express love for your child through your words and actions. A warm hug, a pat on shoulder or just simple proximity has huge power to reassure your child of your love and support. When children raise concerns or negative feelings, respond truthfully. Assure your child that no matter what, you will always love him/her unconditionally now, tomorrow and forever.
Online dating tips: A good profile will go along way in finding a perfect partner. Some of the key things to be aware of are what website you decide on using, the balance of what you want to say, and sharing your interests. Remember to be honest without giving too much away. A good photograph of yourself goes along way.
Don't neglect yourself: A divorce can be the end of a broken-marriage, but it's not the end of your life! You still have the right to live and love. Falling in love after divorce can be little difficult. Bitter-experiences of a broken marriage will always hold you back from trusting someone. Here the importance of a relationship coaching service can be beneficial. These professionals help you in restoring your self-esteem, finding the perfect partner and leading you towards happiness. This new wisdom of life & love helps you discover a new you.
Finding a Professional Lawyer
Most people do not have a clue how to find a good lawyer when they need one. Having access to a good lawyer is rather like having a good car mechanic. They're both hard to find but when you have, you'll want to keep him for life.
If your legal problem is complex or involves lots of money, you might not want to attempt to handle the entire matter without a lawyer. After all, lawyers do more than dispense legal information. Because it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish a good lawyer from a mediocre one, it is important that you do your research thoroughly.
Locating a good lawyer who can efficiently help with your particular problem may not be easy. Don't expect to locate a good lawyer by simply looking in the phone book or reading an advertisement. There's not enough information in these sources to help you make a valid judgment.
Some common reasons you should do to find a good lawyer :
1 . Determine the legal issue and what type of law may be applicable
2 . Set up a face-to-face interview. Always ask an attorney what his fees will be. So, you can avoid surprises that may show up on the attorney's invoice later
3 . One of the best resources to find a lawyer that does the kind of law you need is through other lawyers
4 . Your lawyer should point out for you the strong and weak points of your case and give a realistic expectation of the potential outcomes.
5 . The attorney should be interested in your case and spend at least as much time listening as talking. Beware of lawyers who spend too much time selling themselves to you.
6 . Check with your family, friends and work associates. If someone had a good experience with a particular attorney, they are always more than happy to recommend that individual.
A better way of finding an attorney is to call the local bar association near your town, city or county. Ask for the names of three lawyers who specialize in the area of law you need assistance with.
One important thing to note is that it's important that you get along with your lawyer. He may be an excellent attorney but if you find that you don't get along with him or don't like dealing with him, just leave it.
Go through this process until you find a lawyer you are comfortable with. A good lawyer is one who is knowledgeable about the law, determined to represent your best interests and charges reasonable fees.
Tips to Common Marriage and Uncommon Divorces
What is Common Law Marriage?
A common law marriage is generally defined as one where the state provides couple's rights and benefits of being married, even though they never obtained a marriage license or had any ceremony celebrating the marriage. Each of the states has its own requirements before it will recognize a couple as having a common law marriage. For example, in Texas, as in most of the 11 states, a couple must have made an agreement to someday get married and then cohabited after the agreement was made. They must also have held themselves out to the public as being married.
In Nevada, it does not matter how long a couple may have lived together, what their future intent is or if their friends think they are married. Nevada does not recognize common law marriage, and a divorce lawyer can't change the law. If there is no marriage, there can be no divorce. This may create problems when a couple decides to separate, and have accumulated property together. If they have children together there are laws for child custody.
Nevada Child Custody, Visitation and Support Laws
Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Section 126.036 establishes that "the liberty interest of a parent in the care, custody and management of the parent's child is a fundamental right." In order for a man to exercise his rights to custody and visitation, and for a mother to establish her right to child support, paternity must be established. There are several different ways this can be done under Nevada law. Once paternity has been determined, the unmarried parents have the same rights and obligations as do parents who were married to each other.
Under NRS Section 125C.003, a court may order primary physical custody of a child born out of wedlock to the mother if there is no presumption that a man is the father and the man has not acknowledged paternity. This may also happen if the father has knowledge of his paternity, but has abandoned his child.
The court will give primary custody of a child born out of wedlock to the father if the mother has abandoned the child and the father has provided the "sole care and custody of the child in her absence."
In Nevada, whether parents are married to each other or not, a court makes its custody and visitation decisions based on what it determines is in the best interest of the child.
Property Division for Unmarried Couples
Nevada is a community property state, which means all income a legally married couple earned, and all property they accumulated during the course of their marriage, belongs equally to them both. When they divorce, the court will divide it between them. This includes real estate, automobiles, furniture, savings accounts, retirement accounts, pension funds and even the family pet.
Community property law does not apply when an unmarried but cohabiting couple separates. There are some ways courts may become involved in property division, but it will be in civil court, not in family law court as part of a property division divorce order. For example:
• Contract principles: If the couple have a contract establishing that they are joint owners of property, and they disagree about how to divide it, a civil law court will evaluate the contract and make a division based on contract principles.
• Joint tenants: If the couple purchased real estate and took ownership as joint tenants, this means that each party owns 50 percent of the property. It does not matter if one party provided more of the down payment than the other one. They own the property equally and when they separate, the property is divided between them. If it is owned as joint tenants with right of survivorship, when one party dies, the other party inherits the share of the other.
• Tenants-in-common: This allows a couple to own property together but with different percentage shares. It will be divided according to each person's share. If one party dies, that person's share goes into their estate and is not inherited by the other party.
The Putative Spouse Doctrine
In 2004, the Nevada Supreme Court, in the case of Williams v. Williams, adopted the Putative Spouse Doctrine holding that, "Fairness and equity favor recognizing putative spouses when parties enter into a marriage ceremony in good faith and without knowledge that there is a factual or legal impediment to their marriage." The Court held that this policy is in keeping with "Nevada's policy in refusing to recognize common-law marriages or palimony suits." This is because the parties obtained a marriage license and reasonably attempted to enter into a solemn marriage relationship, something missing "in common-law marriages and palimony suits."
• The putative spouse doctrine and property division: In the Williams case, the couple had a marriage ceremony, obtained a marriage certificate and believed themselves to be husband and wife for 27 years. When they decided to divorce, they discovered for the first time that Mrs. William's had not been divorced from her first husband at the time of the Williams's marriage. They discovered their marriage was never valid and they were granted an annulment. Since they had a good faith believe they were married, the property they accumulated during the putative marriage was divided between them as though community property.
• The putative spouse doctrine and spousal support: The Nevada Supreme Court considered how other states apply this doctrine and held that there can be no award of spousal support in the absence of "bad faith, fraud or statutory authority."
Finding a Good Criminal Defense Lawyer
It is important that the charged individual understands that he or she is still innocent until proven guilty. Given that a criminal conviction can result in the loss of freedom and other significant consequences, the courts use the highest burden of proof: proof beyond a reasonable doubt. It is also important to choose the best possible criminal lawyer to defend against accusations and charges. The legal representative should fit the person he or she is representing, and the specific knowledge of the case should be shared between parties.
There are several considerations that a person should weigh when determining which lawyer to select. Some considerations include:
Criminal defendants usually want someone who is experienced in their particular area of law. A person charged with a drug crime, DUI, assault or other specific criminal defense may want to look for a lawyer who has successfully handled cases of this nature.
Case Load
While a defendant may want to hire someone who seems to be an expert in the area of the law, this can sometimes be a drawback. Some criminal defense lawyers and DUI lawyers seek out as many clients as possible. However, this may adversely affect the effectiveness of their cases with so many clients taking up all their time and energy. Finding legal representation that takes the time to know his or her client is vital for many cases. The more complex or complicated the case, the more time may be required. Background checks, examination of details, analysis of findings and witness testimonial may all deplete what remaining time is left in these cases. A lawyer that may afford the time, effort and attention to a defendant's case is essential for a positive outcome with the case or through trial in court.
Trial Experience
For many clients, it is important that their lawyer has had trial experience. If he or she is perceived as someone who will only get a plea bargain, the prosecutor may be aware of this reputation and may not make a good deal because he or she knows the case will be resolved before trial.
When looking for the perfect lawyer, it is wise to consult friends, family, associates, other lawyers and even acquaintances for opinions and statistics about law firms or specific lawyers. Often searching online may provide further details about businesses containing a myriad of legal counsel. It is refining the search that takes time and effort. Though a blank search may heed results, examining law firm specific websites often brings answers to questions. Notes should be written about who is most liked,
Once a list of prospective lawyers has been compiled, the defendant can set up a consultation to meet with the lawyer. He or she should prepare a list of questions to ask the lawyer, including questions regarding the lawyer's rate of pay, the amount of experience the lawyer has with the particular type of case involved, the general process involved in the case and the legal strategy that the lawyer may recommend.
During this consultation, the defendant should pay attention to the answers. However, this is also a process in which the
defendant can consider how the lawyer speaks to him or her and the impression that he or she has on the defendant. If the first law firm is not a fit, the defendant may wish to contact other lawyers to set up a consultation.
Indications of what to look for when meeting the legal representative may include how interested they are in the case, how concerned they are in the well-being of the client and how well they communicate who they are and what they are about. If the lawyer takes up the bulk of the consultation regaling tales of their great adventures, they are most likely not the person to take the case. The consultation is to determine how much a match the lawyer is to the case and the client, not just how good they are in the courtroom. Trust is one of the top things to look for with the lawyer.
Finalizing a Decision
No two lawyers are exactly the same, and not all legal representatives have the same qualifications. Once a consultation has been completed, it is essential to narrow down which individual has a better understanding of the case specifics and the defending party. After research, examination, consultation and finalization of all information, a match should be available from the remaining lawyers available.
Tips on Clearing the Mist for Good
To effectively address the need, a new Code of Conduct on privacy for mobile health applications has been introduced, aiming to provide specific and accessible guidance on how EU data protection legislation should be applied by mHealth mobile developers. On 7 June 2016, the Code of Conduct was formally submitted for comments to Article 29 Data Protection Working Group. Once approved, app developer
s will be able to sign the Code on a voluntary basis and thereby commit to following its rules.
The Code has been drafted to be understandable to non-legal experts such as SMEs and individual developers. Guidance on EU data protection rules is particularly important as app developers design the software which runs on smartphones and therefore decide the extent to which the app will access and process different categories of personal data in the device and/or through remote computing resources. As a result, by following the Code's provisions and guidelines, app developers will be assisted in making responsible and informed choices which comply with European data protection law.
Personal data includes information on the user (such as their name, address, or contact information), device identifiers, location data and other information regarding an identified or identifiable natural person. Moreover, health data concerns personal data which relates to the physical or mental health of an individual, including the provision of health care services, which reveal information about his or her health status. The Code also maintains that health data includes personal data that has a clear and close link to the health status description of a person. Raw sensor data, for instance, can be used in itself or in combination with other data to draw a conclusion about the actual health of someone.
There are several examples through which an app developer may easily understand whether her app project processes or does not process health data. In particular, the Code points out an important distinction (which we have already highlighted in one of our previous articles) between lifestyle data and data concerning health. It explains that the first category includes data on an individual's habits and behavior that does not inherently relate to that individual's health. However, one must note that if the data is used to measure or predict health risks (e.g. risk to injury or heart attacks) and stored in order to analyze and evaluate the user's health, then the app does process health data.
Furthermore, the Code provides a series of practical guidelines for app developers, such as individuals and companies and private and public sector organizations. These guidelines ensure compliance to EU data protection laws. One of the most important, is obtaining user consent. The Code points out that app developers must obtain, prior to the app's installation, the users' free, specific and informed consent in order to process their data for the purposes described by app developers. On health data, the consent must be explicit while it is not sufficient that they don't protest after having been informed of the intended use of their data. Furthermore, it is particularly important that app developers are able to demonstrate that users have provided their consent as explained above.
Another important principle which must be respected in the design phase of the apps is to only collect and process health data for specific and legitimate purposes. In particular, such purposes must be clearly defined before any data processing takes place and must be linked with the functionality of the app. If the personal data is to be used for a purpose other than the one described, it must be completely anonymized before re-use in order to avoid any possible identification of an individual. Otherwise, obtaining again the users' free, informed and explicit consent is required.

Are you a side sleeper and looking for the most successful sleeping formula to improve this best meaningful time in your day? Is comfort the final factor that you need to get so that you can enjoy your sleep maximally without any problems caused by your favorite sleeping posture?
Stop your searching since now because what you need is completely hiding in this post! To provide more support as well as enjoy your perfect sleep, nothing more meaningful and effective than complimenting a special pillow in your bedroom. However, choosing the best pillow for side sleepers will be not a piece of cake if you ignore the following useful information.
What Is The Important Of The Pillow For Side Sleepers?
All of us need support from the pillow or any similar thing when we sleep to avoid pain and tiredness as well as keep our sleep smooth. Especially, for those who sleep on one side, the lower part of the body often suffers from the whole weight of our body, this makes blood flow in this part be restricted and cause strain or soreness.
Do you want to welcome a new day with tired and uncomfortable state of mind? Of course not! It is very important for you all to be aware of that each type of pillow has its particular functions. Using the normal pillows for side sleepers will not improve your sleep and even it may give you troubles rather than helping you.
Sleeping on a wrong pillow will come with the unexpected problems related to your sleep and even your health. You can not sleep on your side with a pillow specially designed for stomach or back sleepers because you don't need to get support for your belly or back.
What you need here is a specialized pillow which can help you to reduce pressure on your lower body part and overcome neck pain, assist you to minimize discomfort when you sleep as well as get rid of soreness due to the certain sleeping position.
What Is The Best Pillow For Side Sleepers ?
It is very difficult to decide which pillow is the best one for side sleepers because each of them has different advantages and is suitable for different type of people. However, to assess whether a pillow is good for people who sleep on one side or not, you can base on some criteria recommended as below:
Appropriate Pillow Filling
Filling is one of the important factors which show you if your consideration is the best pillow for side sleepers or not because people mainly rely on this point to find out their favorable products. On the market, nowadays, there are a variety of pillows designed for side sleepers, but not all of them are the number 1 for them. It is suggested that when you are going to purchase a pillow for your trouble caused by side sleeping position, you should choose the product that is made from memory foam, buckwheat, latex of feather.
The advantages of these types of filling are varied fantastic and excellent for all side sleepers because they are made of friendly, durable and safe materials. Those fillings can keep their shape when you lie on as well as provide you balanced softness and firmness which are known as the essential requirement for successful support.
Besides, these fillings are also beneficial for those who often get high temperature at night, especially pregnant women, because they include a good air flow circulation system which helps to limit heat for side sleepers very effectively.
Trustworthy Brand
People often say that a well-known brand often comes with a high-quality product, and this is true for the best pillow for side sleepers. It is not deniable that the excellent, perfect and helpful pillows are always produced by famous companies because they often try their best to serve customers as much as possible so that they can prove their position on the market.
The top pillow manufacturers are the companies which concentrate on the quality rather than quantity as well as spend time on learning customers' needs. Their products are not only made of advanced and endurable materials but have luxurious or attractive shape and design.
If you still wonder and do not which brand you should buy, you can check some leading companies of pillow for side sleepers such as Cope Home Goods, Snuggle-Pedic, Sleep Innovation and so one. Those addresses are some of the most reliable and successful names on the market as well as they have received lots of positive comments from previous customers.
Each person has the dissimilar body structure, and this is the reason why some people prefer to choose this pillow while the others highly appreciate the different one. We cannot impose anyone to follow our choice because it can be suitable for us but does not fit the other.
Thus, to know which one is the best pillow for you, it is necessary for you to try it before opening your pocket. Let ask the seller for lying on the pillow for several minutes so that you can know whether it works best for you or not, whether it helps you to improve your issue and enhance your comfort.
However, if you purchase online, this tip will be impossible, and there is another way for you to carry out this test. You just need to use other bedding accessories which are made of the similar materials in your bedroom and try them as a real pillow. If you feel comfortable and relaxed, luckily, it is the best one for your choice.
Final Thoughts
Those pieces of information are some essential notes that you should keep in mind when purchasing the best pillow for side sleepers. If you often sleep on one side and experience any problems that interrupt and break your nice sleep, it is the time for you to add another useful and specialized pillow to support your side body. Let consult these recommendations and tell us that you make the correct choice and are happy with it!

ACTING President Yemi Osinbajo has admonished church leaders not to accord respect to treasury looters who he said brought misery to the country by their action.
Speaking on the occasion of this year's Father's Day celebration at Aso Rock Villa Chapel, Abuja on Sunday, he said it was wrong for the church to hold such individuals in high esteem.
He said: "The greed of many is what has landed this country to where it is today, many of who are in a position of authority.
Read More :Buhari bounces ministers ,aides that visited him in London directs them to Osinbajo https://www.ireporteronline.com/buhari-bounces-ministers-aides-that-visited-him-in-london-directs-them-to-osinbajo/
"It is the greed that has landed us to where we are. Many who say the reason why they are stealing is because they need to have an arsenal for future political experiment. It is a lie, it is greed.
"And if the church says you are not allowed to steal and we will ostracise the thieves in our midst, if a man's resources, what a man has does not measure up to what he earns, if you found that a man has more money than he should have, if a man is earning a salary in a civil service or public service and he has houses everywhere, we have to hold him to account.
"He must first be held to account in the church. He must first be told in the church, we will not allow this.
"If the church ostracizes the thieves; if the church says we will not accept thieves here or we will ensure that we expose you, you are stealing the resources of our nation, you are stealing the resources of a private company or other establishments, then we will not have the kind of problems that we have in this country. If only the church can."
He stressed the important role of the church in nation building as the light of the world.
The acting President added: "I want to say that all of our leaders, the Christian leaders; the (Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria) PFN and (Christian Association of Nigeria) CAN, that it is the role of the church to build this nation. And the church has that role because God has said concerning us that we are the light of the world and we are the salt of the earth. That role is a very difficult role.
"We are not to teach the world how to be like the world but to teach the world how to be like our saviour, Jesus Christ.
"Every time we come to the church, we are told about giving, but we need to talk more about honesty."
Osinbajo advised fathers to live by example and to build generation of righteous men and women by raising children with virtue of integrity.
. While calling on fathers to emulate Abraham, the acting President also urged them to love their wives and refrain from any forms of domestic violence.

With the April 15 filing deadline for state and federal taxes approaching, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program volunteers helping with tax preparation said they expect their business to begin picking back up.
As part of the Tax Counseling for the Elderly program, volunteers at five locations in Etowah County and another location in Cherokee County will at no charge help with tax preparation, RSVP officials said.
Volunteers go through a week of training by the Internal Revenue Service to prepare for the program and use TaxWise, a tax program recommended by the IRS.
The locations are the Mort Glosser Amphitheatre, Elliott Community Center, East Gadsden Community Center, Rainbow City Community Center, Hokes Bluff Water Department and the Centre Courthouse Annex.
Jan Kelley, director of the Etowah County RSVP, said the program has 18 volunteers this year and has completed 372 returns, up from the 306 that were completed last year. She said the program is funded through an IRS grant.
She said volunteers are given a small stipend to cover mileage and meals.
Kelley said additional volunteers are needed. Training is conducted each January. She said those with a background in math or have a computer experience are invited to consider being involved in the program next year.
In addition to preparing the return, the volunteers also can file both federal and state taxes electronically, which speeds up the refund, said Mary Raley, who handles e-filing for the site at the Mort Glosser Amphitheatre and has worked with the program since 1997.
She said that last year she filed about 172 returns electronically.
She said that this year she already had filed 230 returns with a little more than two weeks to go until April 15.
Raley said the speed of getting their money back interests people and if they allow their return to be direct deposited into their checking account, it will be paid even faster.
"We get everything from college students to elderly retired," Raley said.
Raley, a retired Gaston High School librarian, said she was attracted to the program after a friend told her about it.
She said while the program is geared to helping the poor and the elderly, the volunteers will do any taxes for anyone, except for farmers or those who are self-employed with an inventory.
"February is always the busiest," she said. "I have to work over to keep up."
She said those who come in early know they will be getting a refund.
Faye Seahorn of Gadsden, who was getting her taxes done last week at the amphitheater location, said she has let RSVP do her taxes for the past four years.
"I can do it myself but I like somebody to recheck it," she said. "I do them, I let them do them and then I go over it and see what mistakes I've made."
She said the program is a good one.
Raley said things slow down during March then pick up the first of April, but not as much as in February.
Jean Foster, former administrator for the Etowah County Health Department, said she was recruited to help with the program.
She said the volunteers take the tax course to become familiar with things they are not familiar with about their taxes.
"It's sort of a challenge and interesting," Foster said, "a good volunteer activity."
She said it is a way of helping people. People are grateful, whether or not they get any money back, Foster said.
"They just appreciate you preparing your taxes for them," she said. Many people don't feel comfortable reading the instruction book and then following the instructions, Foster said.
"Sometimes you can help them save some money by mentioning things they had not realized were a deduction and this type of thing," she said.
Kathy Quinn of Cedar Bluff volunteers in Gadsden and also at a site in Centre.
She said she has done accounting and bookkeeping in the past, sold real estate and worked for H&R Block. She said also had prepared taxes for friends.
She said she has worked with the TCE program for three years.
Quinn said it is important for her to share her knowledge and help others and not waste it.
She said the average person is afraid of tax preparation "because it has a language all its own."
Quinn said the volunteers and the program are "a bridge between what the IRS wants and what the person is living and doing."
The schedule is:
Mort Glosser Amphitheatre, Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m.-2 p.m.
East Gadsden Community Center, Tuesdays, noon-4 p.m.
Hokes Bluff Water Board, Mondays, noon-4 p.m.
Rainbow City Community Center, Wednesdays, noon-4 p.m.
Elliott Community Center, Thursdays, noon-4 p.m.
Cherokee County Courthouse Annex, Centre, Tuesdays, 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

As expected, Apple attorneys confirmed that they will be seeking a Supreme Court review of Judge Denise Cote's 2013 verdict finding them liable for a conspiracy to fix ebook prices. The question now is: will the Supreme Court take the case?
"I think, and have always said, that the Supreme Court taking the case is very unlikely," says Christopher Sagers, law professor at Cleveland State University, and a close follower of the case. Sagers reiterated to Publishers Weekly what he told the publication this summer after an appeals court affirmed Cote's ruling: "It's a fact case, and I can't imagine what the circuit split will be," he said.
Apple is a high-profile plaintiff, and this is a high-profile case. But that is not enough, Sagers explained, to get a case heard before the high court in the absence of compelling legal issues

The Siege of the Chaos Cannon was a battle that occured on Apokolips between the Batman and Darkseid. It was a battle to try and resurrect Damian Wayne, but to also stop Kalibak from using the Chaos Cannon on a planet with life. A conflict that affected the Multiverse, the Siege finally let the conflict between Batman and Darkseid come full circle.
Background Edit
The machinations of the Siege started when Darkseid started to track Kaiyo the Trickster, forcing her to try and use the Chaos Crystal of Earth 2. When this failed, the crystal split into shards across the multiverse, a Crystal Shard landing in Earth 0, to be picked up by Talia al Ghul. al Ghul used it to enhance and rapidly age her and the son of the Batman, Damian Wayne. Darkseid then launched the Parademon Invasion of Earth. The Justice League of Earth 0 managed to repel him, but ended up stuck on Apokolips in a later unrelated mission. Darkseid, during this time, was trying to heal from the wounds the Justice League inflicted on him and took note that the Batman was left behind. Having his minions try and clone an army of Batmen, Darkseid was angered upon their failure and from a distance, used the Omega Sanction to send Batman back in time. Trying to heal, he let his son Kalibak take control of Apokolips and the lesser God, with the aid of Glorious Godfrey, designed the Chaos Cannon. Eventually locating al Ghul's shard on Earth 0 and another piece embedded in the sarcophagus of Damian Wayne, Godfrey recovered both in the Battle of Nishapur. Enraging the Batman, he recovered his Hellbat suit and used the Boom Tube system to get himself to Apokolips. Jason Todd, Barbara Gordon, Tim Drake and Cyborg later followed him there as well.
Battle Edit
On Apokolips, Batman began attacking the Parademon Army and the Justifiers in his search for Glorious Godfrey. While doing this, Kalibak used the Chaos Cannon to destroy one of Apokolips' moons. Finding Godfrey, Batman brutally injured while learning of Kalibak's malicious intent to use the Cannon to destroy a planet with life. As the rest of the heroes arrived, fighting Hellhounds, they soon met up with Batman. He then took out a bulk of Godfrey's Parademon Army to make his way to Kalibak's compound. By this time he had garnered the attention of Darkseid, who left the shadows of healing to confront the dark knight. In fighting Kalibak, they also destroyed the Chaos Cannon just as Darkseid arrived. Batman fought Darkseid alone and although easily defeated, managed to stall long enough to use the Chaos Shard to absorb the Omega Sanction and Boom Tube his family and allies back to Earth 0.
Aftermath Edit
Returning to the Batcave, Batman used the Chaos Shard, powered by the Omega Sanction, to resurrect his son. The implications the battle had for the Multiverse, however, was far greater as Darkseid realized he was not healing fast enough. Tying in right to the heart of the Second Apokolips War, Darkseid used the heart of Apokolips to heal himself. This began to kill his planet, forcing him to try and replace it with Earth 2.

DIY Drip Irrigation With beautiful weather in the forecast for this weekend, my husband and I are planning to get our hands dirty and our garden planted. Several years ago, some green thumb friends of ours installed a drip irrigation system in their garden. They raved about how easy it was to set up and how effortless it was to use. As with most new things, I was skeptical. So, after thinking about it for, oh, two years, we finally took the plunge and installed our own backyard drip irrigation system. And guess what? Our friends were right. It was easy to set up and effortless to use. The entire system is hooked into our hose, set up Keep Reading
Raised garden beds: Planting tips for vegetable seeds and starts
Planting tips for vegetable seeds and starts Putting in a garden or planting a few small containers can be intimidating. No one wants to invest the time and money into a garden, only to be rewarded with seeds that don't come up or plants that shrivel up. If you are going to do this, you want to do it right. I totally get that. I grew up watching my grandpa grow a huge commercial garden. Acres of tomatoes and melons. I had a deep appreciation for thumping watermelons and picking cucumbers. When I was a kid, I learned by being my dad's sidekick in the garden. I loved the whole process -- planning the layout, choosing the seeds, planting, watering, Keep Reading
Spring Gardening in the Pacific Northwest
This is a re-post from a previous year. Spring Gardening in the Pacific NW As I walked through my favorite local nursery last weekend, it took every last ounce of willpower to hold back. That place turns me into a crazy person. All the plants! All the possibility! I settled on some kale and lettuce starts and three packets of seeds: beets, carrots, peas. The broccoli and sweet onions were calling my name. Strawberries! Kohlrabi! Cauliflower! So many plants, so little time. I was proud of my restraint. My goal was to buy only what I had time to plant in one afternoon. The benefit of walking through a local growing center is that it will Keep Reading
Inspiration for a beginning gardener
This is an updated guest post by Mavis from OneHundredDollarsAMonth.com. Previously posted in 2012. We all know cheap, processed food can be picked up for free {or nearly free} with the help of coupons. When it comes to inexpensive fresh produce, that's another story. If you have never planted a garden before and want to give it a try, I suggest starting with a few seed packets of vegetables your family enjoys. When my kids were younger {and I had just began to garden} we grew things like strawberries, beans, peas, pumpkins and carrots. As my children grew older and I gained more experience, I started growing tomatoes, onions, beets and Keep Reading
Spring Garden Planting Lists
This is a re-post from a previous year. When I say "gardening," I'm not talking about tilling up the acre behind the ol' homestead. Your garden may be a large plot or some containers on your apartment patio or a small herb pot on your kitchen counter. My garden is a couple of average-sized raised garden beds behind our home on a normal city lot. For several years now, it has provided my family of four with cheap produce and free entertainment. We grow a summer garden of tomatoes, herbs, garlic, onions, rhubarb, lettuce, beans, and cucumbers. My husband and I love the whole process. We still get a kick out of dropping a tiny seed in the ground and Keep Reading
The Spring Garden: Easy, indoor kids activity
Easy Garden Activity for Kids I realize it may seem strange to be talking about gardening so early in the year. After all, we are still waking up to frosty mornings and drippy days. In the past, my husband and I have put in a summer garden, planting in May and harvesting through September. When fall rolls in, I pop garlic in the ground, clean up the beds, and call it a year. However, I have recently realized that I am missing out on some prime growing time. The growing season in our temperate Northwest climate could easily stretch from early spring to early winter.

How to Grow Garlic There are a number of cool weather crops, like kale or cauliflower, that grow during our normally mild Pacific Northwest winters (more cool season planting ideas), but my heart belongs to garlic. You plant it in early fall (September/October), harvest it in mid-summer (July), and do very little in between. If you are looking to ease into this green thumb stuff, garlic is a great way to do it. If you are interested in growing your own, here are a few simple steps & tips: Buy full heads of garlic I have heard that you want to buy local garlic so you have a guarantee it grows in your climate.

OSHClub is a family owned business absolutely dedicated to the high quality care of children. Our team is full of highly qualified and experienced professionals. We have over 20 years experience and run OSHClub programs at more than 230 schools across Australia.
Specifically, we run Before Care, After Care, Pupil Free Days and Vacation Care for Pre-School and Primary aged children.
Our motto is "Happy Children Learning" and there are loads of structured and unstructured activities on offer at every session. We also provide tasty healthy foods.
We've had some great people help us design the best possible programs and train our staff, including two of Australia's leading experts in children's services;
- Professor Brian Caldwell
- Kathy Walker
So you can be sure you'll get fun and age appropriate activities at your school.
Our programs are great value too as most families get a childcare benefit discount (CCB) on their fees, and just about every family is entitled to claim the 50% Childcare Rebate (CCR) as it's not means tested!
That means most families will simply pay half the advertised full fee!!

We lost our cat to an accident then money got tight again. Mom had a couple of job interviews but also started planning a move so she could go to college. Mom also made a little extra cash on the side by babysitting a neighbor kid but had to keep hunting down the kid's mom to get paid.
This Week's Thoughts
Doing research for this episode I found an interesting thing on YouTube. On April 2, 1979 (a bit earlier in the year, I know) The Muppets hosted The Tonight Show. I'm sure I would have been interested in watching Kermit the Frog at 4 years old but now what interests me most now are the commercials. Wow, there were a lot of wine commercials back then! I remember the jingles from them most, Bell's "Reach Out and Touch Someone" or Orson Welles pitching Paul Masson Wines with "We Will Sell No Wine Before It's Time". I'm including this episode below in case your interested. Not much more to say on this one folks, see you next week. Enjoy!

It is nice to have programmers and other developers who contribute to open source software without having to earn a living from it. But the free software movement also needs professional developers who have families and must find a way to make money.
My compromise works like this. If I can develop software that you can take and use without my help, then I am very happy about that. But I do need to make some money from my software, or I cannot afford to create it.
If I do a good job designing my software, many schools will have people with the skills and time to support it. I make no money from that, but the school and the students will benefit, and hopefully they will tell others that the software works well for them.
If you need more help than you can get in a forum, or you need it very quickly, then you may consider paying the developer for consulting. You get the benefit of direct attention from the person or people who should know the most about the software, and by supporting the project in this way you also increase the probability that it will continue to be available and get better as time goes on.
For those who would rather have a well written book or other documentation, someone (not necessarily the developer) may write reference or tutorial material that could save the user many hours and solve special problems in using the software. These materials may be free or at a reasonable cost. There are also traditionally published books that can be rather expensive, but if they save you many hours of study on your own, this may be a bargain.
Markus is an example of a project that may require formal training of teachers and others who will use it. For many reasons, it might be good idea to have the developer do that job, if it can be done at a reasonable cost.
You may need features that are not there in the software. Or you may need some changes to the program to meet your needs. You may be willing to pay for these changes to get them done immediately. Hopefully, those improvements can help others also.
Some open software has developed a process where a user may post a bounty, saying that they will pay this amount if the developer or someone will program this feature for the software. This bounty may not really cover the cost of the programming, but if it is a feature the developer would like to add anyway, a bounty could certainly put that feature higher on the developer's priority list.
Some users are grateful enough to donate money directly, or perhaps donate other resources such as web hosting or help with marketing the project.
Larger open source projects are often supported by one or more corporations. OpenOffice.org is [was] heavily supported by Sun Microsystems, for example. Most of the major programmers are actually Sun employees, being paid full-time to develop OpenOffice.org.
There are also companies who burn CDs of open source software for a very reasonable cost. A service like this enhances the ability for more people to use open source software, so I think they should be encouraged.
If you use open source software, you should consider giving something back to the open source community. You may not have the programming skills to help create open source software, but you can support it in some way. You can donate money, buy training or materials, or even just help the developers market the product. A "thank you" is nice, but if you are in a position to provide real support you can help the overall movement.

I'd agree, but I imagine that it might not be too long before some kind of legislation to the above effect is sorted out or at the very least attempted.
I'd also imagine that the vast majority of those who voted that they disagreed to their ISP disclosing the identities of downloaders are those who regularly participate in illegal software/music appropriation rather than being genuinely disturbed about personal privacy and so on.
Before we get lost in the debate over whether or not it is legal, moral or otherwise for ISPs to disclose such information, just stop and think about how many millions of wasted gigabytes of network traffic there are when those Kazaa/Morpheus et al users are plying their trade. It lowers quality of service to other, legitimate users and will eventually drive up prices and/or lead to further bandwidth capping.
So we all will end up paying one way or another for their actions but hey, that's OK, just as long as they have the latest music CD tracks, film titles or software releases.
Let's also spare a thought or three for the vast amount of money being lost by the software and music/video companies which, once more, will no doubt adversely affect charges and costs long term. Whether you agree or not with the high cost of software and audio/video media is immaterial. What is relevant is whether or not you want to break the law.
Let's say I want a DVD. Let's say I walk into a shop and pinch it. Let's say I persistently get away with it to the tune of serious amounts of moneys worth. Now let's I copy everything I've stolen and sell said copies to friends, family, colleagues at work and so on.
Sound unrealistic ?
Reality check.
That's exactly what Kazaa/P2P file sharers are doing, but they do it by hiding behind their ISP rather than walking into the store.
There are more facets to this argument than enough but those who break the law in bandwidth hogging P2P filesharing will no doubt be the loudest to protest against any measures to prevent them doing their thing.
Legitimate file sharing is there and available for freeware, shareware and music/video titles where the authors are happy to distribute that way. It's a far cry though, from what is currently going on out there.
