A skip trace starts with any known information such as the defendant's common name and any aliases, maiden name, last...

Accounts recovery is basically another term for debt collection. When companies use the term "accounts receivable," it refers to debtors or customers that owe them money. Collection agents attempt to recover these accounts by contacting the debtors by mail or by phone. If payment does not occur, the agent will report this to the credit bureau and may start legal action against the debtor.

Confused and rightfully upset, Cain leaves the building and is chased by mysterious military personal that are apparently intent on killing him. As Cain, you must work your way through wave after wave of police, helicopters, and huge bosses. To combat them you can either use your newly installed arm cannon, or rely on more traditional fighting weapons like punch and kicking combos. But you will also have to use your head, as most bosses cannot be killed by direct gunfire, and instead require that you use the environment to take them out.

badmintion friendly match in HCMC,Vietnam
Dear All,
We have a team of members from Kulim Club,Kedah,Malaysia would like to visit
HCMC and at the same time play friendly match with our Vietnamese friends or friends residing in HCMC. Can some one put us in touch with the Phu Tho Organising committee
or management committee so that we write to them to organise the trip for our members.
Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you soon.
best regards
Irene chew
Hi Irene,
I hope there are some kind souls in HCMC contacting you to arrange a friendly match.Otherwise you can read this post and then decide.
There is the Kelab MBC ( Malaysian Business Council). It has a badminton club for Malaysians working in HCMC. It's sort of beginner/intermediate standard with a couple of good players. Mainly male players.
Otherwise there are very good club/district level players at Thanh Thai courts ( see Mr. Hieu or Ms Cornchip in this forum). Consist of young male and female players.
It really depends on your standard. Last December I happened to watch a couple of friendly matches between an all ladies' team from a KL club playing a few friendlies in Hong Kong. Nearly all the Malaysian players were ex-state players and were several standards too high. So.... the standard has to be equal to make the friendly match more even. Ms Juliet Poon ex Malaysia player in the 1980s was also there to watch one of the matches.She is now a HK badminton coach.
I could give you MBC or Cornchip contacts if necessary. I am not sure about Phu Tho as I am a novice when it comes to places in HCMC even though I have been there many times and always enjoyed my badminton there.
Otherwise...... HCMC is always a good place to visit even if there is no friendly match to play.
Hi Permanis
Thank you very much for replying to my mail. Kulim club players are not state players or ex-state players but mostly businessmen & retirees enjoying the game and socialising with friends. I would greatly appreciate if you could give me the contact no. and full address of MBC and Thanh Thai courts which I think is more appropriate for us to write to. We have more man players than women players.
Thanks for writing and you are the 1st to reply to our mail.
As for myself, I am a regular visitor to HCMC on short trip and would like to get to know more friends in HCMC.
best regards
Irene chew
Hi Irene,
In that case I think the MBC Badminton Club may be more appropriate. It's mostly Malaysian expats living and working in Vietnam. It's more leisure play.
Contact details:Mr.Teoh Cheng Kooi - firstname.lastname@example.com
Just in case I am giving you a Vietnamese contact
Mr Trinh -email@example.com
Mr Trinh did asked me for the playing standard and age of your players and I am not able to say as I don't know your playing standard. Neverthless I have played with his crowd near Hoang Minh Giam and they range from intermediate to very good players. You might have to write to indicate your player's standard and age.
In both cases, I have written to them saying that you might write to them and when you write to them, just say that you are from Kulim Malaysia and that you were referred to by James Lee of Sydney.They know who I am.
I will be in HCMC from the 20th June for 10 days and if your friendly match is on during this time, I might be there to watch. Keep me informed.
You can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi James.
Thanks for your email and contacts. I have to say the trip will not be so soon but will keep you inform from time to time.
I will pass the info. to our Badminton Captain in the club to start organising the trip.
Re Players age group are mainly from 40- 70 years of age and they are intermediate to good players.
Are you residing in sydney?. I have two sons studying in Sydney and it will be good to meet up one day either in HCMC
or Sydney one day. Will stay in touch!. Thanks again for your help.
Hi Irene,
I always believe that friendly matches are good ways to foster goodwill and friendship.
Just in case, there is another person in HCMC that you can write to organise the friendly match.
Ms Phi email@example.com
Just tell Ms Phi you were referred to by James Lee of Sydney. Yes I now reside in Sydney and have been for the last 16 years. Originally from Sibu and still goes back to Sarawak every year. Yes it will be nice to meet up someday and who knows...... maybe Kulim and have a game of badminton there.The only place I have been in Kedah was 1 week in Alor Setar playing tennis (not badminton) for the government services in the 1980s.Where does your sons study in Sydney? UNSW was where I did my masters and represented the uni as the oldest player in the inter-varsity badminton games hehehe.
All the best and good luck with organising the friendly matches in HCMC. Looking forward to hearing how the outcome of it.
James (Permanis)
Hi James, Thanks for your email. Is Phi from MBC?. I will need to give one contact to our Club Captain so that they will not be confused. Which contact; Ms Phi, Teoh or Trinh we should writing to?. Please advise.
Alan, my eldest son studied his degree in UNSW and then decided to do his Masters at Macquire Uni which is nearer to home and
will finish his Masters next month.
Roy, second, studied in Macquire Uni and will finish Uni end of this year.
Our club members love to travel and make friends and we have been travelling to different clubs in different states for friendly matches in Malaysia and Thailand. Next planning to HCMC and also considering go to Tawau, where we were invited to go over to play friendly match but yet to decide where to go first.
Will definitely keep you inform of the outcome from time to time.
best regards
Irene chew
Hi Irene,
Ms Phi, Teoh and Trinh are from 3 different clubs.Unfortunately I can't advise which of them to contact. I have written to all three to let them know you will contact them. Why not contact Ms Phi first and see how it goes. She did say if you can contact her, she can try to organise something for you all.
All the best
Hi James
I have written an email to Ms Phi and cc you a copy but yet to receive any reply from her yet. Will wait for her reply and incase she did not reply, will let you know. Noted, they are from different clubs. Will keep you inform.
best regards

So.... several years ago, I bought my first large cent. It is at best, basal state 1. The only reason I bought it
was for its lettered edge, which was very clear. I never had a hope of attributing it as the date is completely gone.
Its a Liberty Cap with the word "Liberty" barely visible. The reverse as follows; "UNIT" barely visible (E)S of STATES
extremely faint with the point of highest leaf not clear enough to place. The stems and ribbon ends are visible but very well
worn. So for years I just kept it as my first large cent. After last years EAC and my growing interest in 1794s, I purchased
Al Boka's great book. With guidance from several here on Copper Notes, especially bringing to my attention that the distance
of Liberty from the top of the head is a good starting point whilst judging "heads of" 93, 94, or 95. So, to make a long story
longer, armed with Al's book and hours in bed studying it, I was looking at my first coin the other day and noticed that "Liberty"
was quite distant. At some point as I studied the wreath/ribbons/stems, I think I see a tiny die break that runs from the point
where the left stem meets the left ribbon, upward towards the lowest set of leaves on the left. Also on one photo, it extends downward
towards the right ribbon, halfway between the knot and the top of the denominator. I checked out Al's photographs
in the Provenance Gallery of his book, and low and behold, the "A" reverse as seen on the 17a, 18a and b shows nearly the identical
minute crack on the 17a and 18b...my B in Liberty isn't "low and leans left", and the edge device is large letters with the leaf point
and stem pointing up.
So, I guess my ultimate question is, many photos from other sites don't show the crack. It's not mentioned in Penny Whimsy or Breen's
Encyclopedia, nor does Al mention it in his book. Does anyone know if this is a "bona fide" verifiable crack? I can't believe that after all these
years, I may be able to attibute it.....thanks in advance.......clorox

19 June 2012
Sporting legend John Hartson officially unveiled 'Grab your Life by the Balls', an educational testicular cancer awareness raising campaign aimed at 15 year olds at a special launch event at Blackwood Comprehensive School today (Tuesday 19th June).
Caerphilly County Borough Council's Healthy Schools team have joined forces with the John Hartson Foundation and Velindre NHS Trust to produce an educational DVD and teaching pack, aimed at 15 year old school pupils for use in school PSE lessons.
The DVD, thought to be the first of its kind in Wales, features John Hartson, who tells his story of his battle with testicular cancer – and Velindre NHS Trust Consultant Clinical Oncologist Dr Jim Barber, who discusses the warning signs and symptoms to look out for.
Talking of his battle with testicular cancer, and the importance of raising awareness of the disease, John Hartson said, "There was very little in the way of awareness raising for important issues such as this when I was at school, therefore when I was contacted by Caerphilly County Borough Council to ask if I'd like to be involved in this testicular cancer awareness raising campaign, I was pleased to say yes".
He continued, "I truly believe that education from an early age of the signs and symptoms to look out for, together with the knowledge to act when men detect an abnormality, and understand that there is nothing to be fearful or embarrassed about in seeking medical advice, is key to tackling this illness".
"This awareness raising campaign is really important in communicating the 'don't be embarrassed' message to the younger generation, and I hope my story will really emphasise the importance of being aware of this disease", he added.
Cllr Rhianon Passmore, Cabinet Member for Education and Lifelong Learning at Caerphilly County Borough Council said, "It is so important that our young people are educated in the signs and symptoms to look out for, and this excellent innovative campaign will provide the tools to help ensure that this is the case".
"By having such a high profile figure as John Hartson join forces with us for the campaign, someone who has gone through the illness himself and come through the other side; I am confident that our young people will really embrace the vital messages contained within the campaign, which ultimately could save lives".
Andrea Hague, Director of Velindre Cancer Centre, Whitchurch said, "We are pleased to be involved in this important campaign, which aims to encourage young people to get to know their bodies and act upon any changes to their bodies at an early stage".
She continued, "If this campaign, by making young people aware of the warning signs to look out for, can save one life then it has been a success".
Pupils from Blackwood Comprehensive School have been involved in the development of the campaign, from the very early ideas stage through to featuring in the awareness raising DVD itself.
Ravi Pawar, Headteacher at Blackwood Comprehensive School said, "This valuable educational resource, starring a high profile figure like John, will really engage our young people and convey the important messages a campaign of this nature brings in a meaningful and powerful way".

Development Cooperation: a French Vision
Steering globalisation
Over the last two decades globalisation has
gone hand in hand with major economic
progress. Hundreds of millions of women and
men have thus managed to rise out of poverty in
India and China, as well as in the rest of Asia, in
Africa and in Latin America.
Yet at the same time, inequalities between
countries and between individuals within countries
have increased. New sources of crises and
tensions are emerging, to which the responses
of the international community have shown their
limits. Food security is still not guaranteed for a
billion human beings. Global economic growth is
taking directions that do not ensure the planet's
major balances: this is now a well-evidenced fact
as far as the environment is concerned, and the
recent crisis has shown that it also holds true for
Worldwide, it is becoming clear that the
benefits of globalisation are coming up
against a lack of governance and collective

Those of you out there that have known me for a long time will know that metal is what got me into music. The raw power will always excite me no-end and the emotive atmospheres that fill this genre stay with my tastes and my work to this day. There is no real substitute for metal, it does it's job and it does it well. Even the mainstream has been realising this in recent years with the use of metal in various action films and video games to produce excitement and racing pulses. Below are a few short instrumentals I've written that showcase the varying degrees of what metal can be, starting from the rock of 'Lost in the Chase', doom metal of 'All is Finished', death metal groove of 'Continuing the Fight' and the surging black/death metal of 'Irresistible Power'.
Many people don't understand metal as they see it as noisy and hard to listen to. Of course this is done on purpose, not through lack of musicianship; in fact, metal can be very well conceived and tricks (like I've used below) such as off-putting timings and uncomfortable dissonance ('horrible' sounding harmonies) all contribute to the overall effect of drama and excitement.
Have a listen, but beware… they get heavier from track to track…
Track List: 1- Lost in the Chase | 2- All is Finished | 3- Continuing the Fight | 4- Irresistible Power

DIY DSLR Video Rig Cage | Stabilizer | Fig Rig
My first Do-it-Yourself (DIY) project. Inspirited by Cheesycam.com and Just Basl Production tutorial video. Some of you might say, why waste your time putting one together when you can buy the real thing. Well here's my answer to you. I'm not a videographer, and I am not planning on becoming one. So why in the world would I go out and spend over thousands of dollars on a rig that I will most likely ended up using a few seconds of video clips. Maybe when I get much better at it and start making more money from doing it, I will consider. But for now, this DIY Video Rig Cage will do the trick. All I wanted was something to stabilize the camera from shacking so much anyway. Seriously look at this rig. Doesnt it look like something you can buy at Adorama or B&H Photo??!?! hahaha!
if you are interested making one yourself, I highly recommend you visit Cheesycam.com and Just Basl Productions Video tutorial. Here's a list of stuff I got at Home Depot and Lowes. If I didnt list the price, that's because I already had them in my toolbox at home.
2 – 16″ Strut Channel $20 included shipping. *
2 – 1/2″ x 12″ Black Steel Nipple $4.80
1 – 1/2″ x 8″ Black Steel Nipple $2.43
2 – 3/8-16″ x 6″ Carriage Bolt $2.10
2 – 3/8-16″ x 6″ Hex Bolt $1.80
2 – 3/8″ Threaded Rod Coupling $1.88
1 – Fi-Shock Heavy Duty Ground Clamp – 2″ screw $2.48
4 – Fender Washers – 3/8 x 1-1/2″ $0.90
4 – Bike Handle Grip from Bell $14.00 (I am sure you can find cheaper one. I only needed 3, but they only come in pairs)
Black Flat protective Enamel Spray Paint $5
Primer Spray Paint $4
120/200 grit sandpaper block $3
1/4-20 x 1-1/4″ screw with nut and locking washer
Get some extra nut, locking washer that will fit both 1/4-20″ and 3/8-16″ screws (depending which one you are using).
some extra Fender Washer 1/4″ x 1-1/4″ and/or 3/8″ x 1-1/4″
* Home Depot and Lowes sell the Strut Channel only in one size – 10ft long. I don't have access to a hacksaw, pretty much it was impossible for me to cut this. Thanks to Google and some looking around, I found a place actually was selling the Strut Channel in two different length, 12″ and 16″. After speaking with them, I ordered two 16″ Strut Channel. Totally cost under $20. Would have been cheaper, but I didn't have time to drive out to Long Island, so instead I had them mail it to me. http://www.gnswireless.com/GNS7084-16.htm So for those that does not have access to a hacksaw or a way to have it cut to size. This is the best solution.
In case you asked. I am using a Calumet Quick Release Video Adapter/Plate to hold my Canon 5D Mark II. The LED Video light is HDV-Z96 that I picked up on ebay for about $61. I will do a review on it later in the week.
Now that you know a little information about my Rig, here are some images of the Rig and the two videos below. Like with everything else, it takes time with lots of practice. So I am sure the next time when you see my video using the Rig, it will be much better then the 1st.
Damn I look good! LOL
Here's a video using the rig. Like I said, I'm not a video guy. Still got a lot to learn. I will say it is 75% better then just handheld the camera alone.
Here's a video taken by my good friend William Eng of me in action using the Rig.
If you like to have one made by me, please contact me for a quote.
Please share…. thanks!!

Piast dynasty
House of Piast | |
Country | Poland, Duchy of Mazovia, Duchy of Silesia, and several Duchies of Silesia |
Titles | Duke of the Polans, Duke of Poland, King of Poland, King of Rus', Duke of Mazovia, Duke of Silesia, and several other ducal titles (see Dukes of Silesia) |
Founded | 960 |
Founder | semi-legendary Piast, son of legendary Chościsko |
Final ruler | Casimir the Great, in the Kingdom of Poland, and George IV William, Duke of Leignitz, in the Silesian duchies |
Dissolution | 1370, in the Kingdom of Poland, and 1675, in the Duchies of Silesia |
Cadet branches | Silesian Piasts, later became the oldest surviving branch of the dynasty |
The Piast dynasty was the first historical ruling dynasty of Poland. The first documented Polish monarch was Prince Mieszko I (c. 930–992). The Piasts' royal rule in Poland ended in 1370 with the death of king Casimir III the Great.
Branches of the Piast dynasty continued to rule in the Duchy of Masovia and in the Duchies of Silesia, until the last male Silesian Piast died in 1675. The Piasts intermarried with several noble lines of Europe, and possessed numerous titles, some within the Holy Roman Empire.
Origin of the name[edit]
The early dukes and kings of Poland regarded themselves as descendants of the semi-legendary Piast the Wheelwright (Piast Kołodziej), first mentioned in the Cronicae et gesta ducum sive principum Polonorum (Chronicles and deeds of the dukes or princes of the Poles), written c. 1113 by Gallus Anonymus. However, the term "Piast Dynasty" was not applied until the 17th century,[1][2] introduced by the Polish historian Adam Naruszewicz, it is not documented in contemporary sources.
The first "Piasts", probably of Polan descent, appeared around 940 in the territory of Greater Poland at the stronghold of Giecz. Shortly afterwards they relocated their residence to Gniezno, where Prince Mieszko I ruled over the Civitas Schinesghe from about 960. The name Polani, from Slavic: pole ("field"), did not appear until 1015. The Piasts temporarily also ruled over Pomerania, Bohemia and the Lusatias, as well as Ruthenia and, by pawning, the Hungarian Spiš region in present-day Slovakia. The ruler bore the title of a duke or a king, depending on their position of power.
The Polish monarchy had to deal with the expansionist policies of the Holy Roman Empire in the west, resulting in a chequered co-existence, with Piast rulers like Mieszko I, Casimir I the Restorer or Władysław I Herman trying to protect the Polish state by treaties, oath of allegiances and marriage politics with the Imperial Ottonian and Salian dynasties. The Bohemian Přemyslid dynasty, the Hungarian Arpads and their Anjou successors, the Kievan Rus', later also the State of the Teutonic Order and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania were mighty neighbours.
The Piast position was decisively enfeebled by an era of fragmentation following the 1138 Testament of Bolesław III Krzywousty. For nearly 150 years, the Polish state shattered into several duchies, with the Piast duke against the formally valid principle of agnatic seniority fighting for the throne at Kraków, the capital of the Lesser Polish Seniorate Province. Numerous dukes like Mieszko III the Old, Władysław III Spindleshanks or Leszek I the White were crowned, only to be overthrown shortly afterwards. The senior branch of the Silesian Piasts, descendants of Bolesław III Krzywousty's eldest son Duke Władysław II the Exile, went separate ways and since the 14th century were vassals of the Bohemian Crown.
After the Polish royal line and Piast junior branch had died out in 1370, the Polish crown fell to the Anjou king Louis I of Hungary, son of late King Casimir's sister Elizabeth Piast. The Masovian branch of the Piasts became extinct with the death of Duke Janusz III in 1526. The last ruling duke of the Silesian Piasts was George William of Legnica who died in 1675. His uncle Count August of Legnica, the last male Piast, died in 1679. The last legitimate heir, Duchess Karolina of Legnica-Brieg died in 1707 and is buried in Trzebnica Abbey. Nevertheless numerous families, like the illegitimate descendants of the Silesian duke Adam Wenceslaus of Cieszyn (1574–1617), link their genealogy to the dynasty.
Coat of arms[edit]
About 1295, Przemysł II used as a coat of arms with a white eagle – a symbol later referred to as the Piast coat of arms (see depiction) or as the Piast Eagle.[3]
