Almost one in 10 anti-bullying claims made to the Fair Work Commission proceed to a full order being made, showing that employers can be doing more to resolve complaints internally.
The FWC recently released its annual report for the 2017 financial year, which revealed that it received 722 applications for an order to stop bullying in the workplace – consistent with the volume received in previous years.
While the vast majority of these were withdrawn or resolved early on in proceedings, 60 applications (8.3 per cent) were only resolved as a result of a determination being handed down by the commission.
Just three cases warranted an order being issued to ensure compliance with the decision handed down.
"These matters can be resolved in various ways, including the employers' recognition of, and response to, a workplace complaint and subsequent implementation of workplace solutions such as providing training or adjusting lines of reporting," the report said.
Many business leaders and even their employees are unaware of the workplace bullying investigation process, despite the damage that bullying can have on the health of affected individuals, business morale and productivity, as well as the reputation of an employer.
My Business recently reported on the case of a former teacher who was awarded a hefty six-figure payout after bullying and isolation left her suicidal and suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
"With the growth (or greater awareness, depending on your point of view) of bullying, this is the concept which now encompasses many kinds of inappropriate workplace behaviour," said Geoff Baldwin, an employment lawyer at Stacks Law Firm.

Qatar to set up telecom regulatory authority
Qatar unveils plans to establish independent telecommunications regulatory authority.
Qatar last week unveiled plans to establish its own independent telecommunications regulatory authority. The introduction of competition for Qatar's monopoly telecoms services provider Qatar Telecom (Qtel) has been expected for some time. As a result, the move looks likely to set up a preliminary basis for further free trade talks with the US. In March last year the two countries signed a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) in Washington DC as a step towards developing closer trade ties. The TIFA opens the possibility of working towards a US-Qatar FTA, though negotiations are yet to commence. "It seems to me that at this point they (the Qatar government) are moving in a similar direction to the UAE, though it's very hard to tell from a policy perspective what they are going to do," said Justin Connor, telecoms attorney with Al Tamimi & Co. "They definitely are under a lot of pressure from both the World Trade Organisation (WTO) as well as from the United States to liberalise the sector and to end Qtel's monopoly in most of telecoms," he added. Up until now Qatar's telecoms market has been the least regulated in the Middle East, with the Ministry of Communications having been dissolved in August 2001 to be replaced by the Postal Public Corporation, whose responsibilities extend to the telecoms sector. This has left Qtel as an essentially self-regulating body up until now. However, a Supreme Committee for CIT has been established in the Qatar, which has been charged with navigating the sector towards market liberalisation.

What the heck were you doing up. bloggin, at 5 am?! I sooo want to go to Legoland, for 3 years now. I'm worried my kids are going to outgrow it before we get there.
I'm surprised you even noticed that! For some reason I was wide awake at 5:00 in the morning, so I came downstairs so I wouldn't bother Brian. I think it had to do with my nice long nap in the car yesterday while Brian was driving.
I didnt know Legoland had a water area. Im glad to know so when we go in the the fall we will take bathing suits and towels! Looks like the kiddos had fun!
Thanks for letting me go along with you Kate. It was really fun watching the kids have fun. I think the best was when TY was in the Store and he put on that Viking hat and took the sword and fought the air! I wish I had taken a video of that! Way too cute! In fact all your kids are way to cute!

Here Comes The Taps!
Writer: Ben Kaine
Editor: Paul Hahn
This Story Inspired By The Tales of James Wagner (See Afterword)
�Monsters! Fascist monster #$@*!� the old woman yelled from within the bathroom.
Ben Reilly tried the doorknob, just to confirm that she had locked herself
inside. She had.
�Now that�s not fair and you know it, Miss Epstein!� Ben Reilly called out, and for the umpteenth time that day, he glared at Jimmy-Six. The large man returned Ben�s look with an uprised eyebrow, as if he didn�t know why Ben could possibly be looking at him like that. It earned him another glare, so Jimmy shrugged.
�C�mon, Reilly,� Jimmy-Six muttered, hoping it wasn�t loud enough to where the old woman could hear them. �Who steals $80,000 from the Mob and gives it to some sort of Wicked Witch of the West dressed in a bathrobe?�
�I heard that!� came a screech from beyond the bathroom door.
�Occasionally in this business, you just get a curveball,� Jimmy-Six continued.
�Well, I�m glad we can at least agree this is a �curveball�, Jimmy, because if this is normal mercenary work for you I�m going back to New York-!� Ben hissed.
� �Ey! The term is �private investigator�!� Jimmy-Six said.
�The term is �certifiably insane�.�
�What, you mean for the old hen?�
�Her too,� Ben muttered. �Let�s just get her out. Miss Epstein? Miss Epstein?!�
But there was silence beyond that door, absolute silence. No screech, no shuffling of feet, nothing. Ben looked to Jimmy-Six, only received a quizzical look in return, and they both sighed.
�Look, just break off the knob,� Jimmy-Six said. �You should�ve knocked the door down anyway.�
�Alright. Fine. Excuse me for not wanting to crush a senior citizen,� Ben said. He reached out with his hand, taking the brass of the doorknob between his fingers, and with the least bit of effort, the proportionate strength of a spider broke the doorknob away. Before Ben Reilly could make another movement, however, Jimmy-Six had launched his foot at the door, knocking it wide open in a flurry of action.
Jimmy-Six entered, Ben following, and the bathroom was completely empty.
�Where the�?�
Jimmy-Six straightened his tie, frowned, and they both looked at the open window.
�I don�t believe this!� Ben said. Together, they looked through the open window, and then down. The old, skinny scarecrow of a woman that they had been chasing for the last two minutes, holding a large canvas bag full of money, was now climbing along the outside of the building, slowly making her way toward a balcony about three floors down.
�Oh, this is going to be a shame,� Jimmy-Six said.
And so began Ben Reilly�s first case as a private investigator in Chicago. The former superhero sighed and, just for a moment, let his mind drift back to a few days ago, when he had first arrived in the city. And he remembered how he had become a posh private investigator in Chicago, with the son of a powerful gangster as a partner.
The city of Chicago had seen a lot of superhuman activity lately, mostly on account of a number of mutants calling themselves �X-Force�. Ben Reilly remembered hearing about them, but he really didn�t know anything solid and he didn�t care to. He hadn�t flown all the way to Chicago to improve his mutant trivia.
He�d come to get away. Peter Parker, the man who�s genes he had been perfectly cloned from by a madman called the Jackal, had the right to live a life free of his genetic double, and although they once had agreed to attempt to simultaneously carry on their lives in New York City as friends and in a way, brothers, Ben Reilly had come to realize that it couldn�t happen. Not even a month of that arrangement and he had slept with Peter�s wife!
He couldn�t even truly say it had been an honest mistake or error. What could he say? He could barely remember it. He�d pretended to be Peter Parker to ease the suffering of the woman, but she had- Well, that much was obvious when he�d awakened in her bed the next morning.
Peter Parker and Ben Reilly could not coexist. And so, he�d come to Chicago to get away.
�Have a good life, Peter,� he thought, and then a meaty finger tapped him on the shoulder.
�Whenever you�re ready to grace us with your presence,� the large man said.
�Sorry, Jimmy,� Ben said, giving a smirk. �I guess I zoned out.�
Jimmy-Six nodded, looked to Ben�s suitcase. �C�mon. My car�s �round the terminal. You enjoy the first-class flight or what, eh?�
�I have to admit I felt a little special when the attendant gave me a soft drink instead of spitting on me,� Ben said, joining the large man in the walk away from the plane. �Thanks for the ticket.�
�You stick with me and I take care of you,� Jimmy-Six said gruffly. �Glad you took me up on the offer, though I�m kinda surprised it was so quick. New York not pan out for you?�
�Got uncomfortable,� Ben answered curtly. Jimmy-Six nodded without pressing further, which Ben realized was probably one of the things he was going to like most about spending time with Jimmy and his boys. They had been members of the criminal underworld, where questions aren�t asked and nosiness is very much frowned upon. He wouldn�t have to explain himself.
It was probably just as much a benefit for the man they called �Jimmy-Six�. The man was the son of New York City�s strongest current crimelord, Fortunato, and his father�s ruthless killing of innocents had been too much for him. A gangster with a heart, if you would. He had left New York City and his father�s empire to make it on his own, and he had the contacts to do it. Contacts he was going to share with Ben Reilly.
�So when do we meet these friends of yours?� Ben asked as they reached Jimmy-Six�s car. And what a beauty of a car it was. Ben was suddenly wondering just how much his new life would pay monthly.
�Real anxious to get to business? We meet them just as soon as we go to the tailor�s,� Jimmy-Six smiled, opening the trunk so that Ben could deposit his suitcase. �You ain�t seeing nobody in those dumb clothes, pal.�
�What do they expect?�
�You�re gonna be seein�, soon enough. You gonna work in my world, Pal, you gonna learn something about Image. A new business suit ain�t gonna hurtcha.�
�I look like John Gotti,� Ben Reilly said as he stepped out of the dressing room. The tailor (an Italian gentleman that had not bothered to give his name) and Jimmy-Six exchanged smirks. The observation was an obvious one. Ben had been expensively dressed in a black silk Cerruti suit, white-on-white seal-cotton shirt, a pearl gray tie, and black Ferragamos, giving the overall impression of a modern-day man in line to be the next Godfather. The big Jimmy stepped forward, adjusting Ben�s tie and coat as he said: �Exactly. Now admit it. You like it. You look as sharp as you gotta for this work, Benny.�
�What is this �work�, Jimmy? You never gave me details��
�Hey. We�ll take it,� Jimmy-Six said to the tailor. The tailor gave a smug smile, left them alone.
�But I�m almost broke! I can�t afford-!�
�It�s on me. You can repay me after our first job, and trust me, after that you�ll be able to afford it,� Jimmy-Six said, stepping away to get the full effect of Ben Reilly�s new �costume�. �Perfect.�
�If you�ll just sign here,� the tailor said, returning.
�I got an account here,� Jimmy-Six explained, taking the receipt and pen.
�I got my Private Investigations and Security licenses �bout two months back, Webs,� Jimmy-Six said, returning the pen to the tailor�s bony hand. �Gives us access t�plenty o� work. We�ll be doing some Bodyguarding, Surveillance and Investigation, Collection- Lucrative lil� markets for us types, Benny. The sky�ll be the limit, just as soon as we meet our contacts. Don�t look at me like that. It�s all legal. Alright. We�re ready to go. Come on.�
�What about my other clothes?�
�Let the owner give �em to Good Will.�
They exited the shop and, at Jimmy-Six�s direction, moved down the sidewalks of Chicago. Ben had been to the city before, although he hadn�t stayed for a particularly-long while, and he certainly hadn�t been in these neighborhoods. A few people waved as they passed, as if they recognized Jimmy-Six (and perhaps they did. Jimmy smiled at them). They were soon out of what Jimmy-Six referred to as �Skyscraper Country�, though, and moving through the more-homey blocks of the city that, in Ben Reilly�s experience as Spider-Man, was a breeding ground for the Mob.
Finally, a small restaurant was found and entered. They were shown to a back room that was actually larger than the dining area, a dimly-lit place smelling of smoke and the faintest hint of something more illegal. �Suits�, as Ben Reilly thought of them, looked out from the darkness at the two new arrivals.
They were introduced by a man in a red suit and tie over a black shirt, who stared out at them through some of the strangest sunglasses Ben had ever seen and had to be the epitome of �Conspicious�. He moved a toothpick about his mouth with his tongue as he announced:
�Jimmy-Six, Boss.�
�Jimmy! Been a while since you left for the Big Apple,� the seated man said. He was somewhere in his fifties and balding, expensively-dressed. He took a moment to sample the cigar in his hand deeply and smiled. �Heard you�re ready for some business.�
�New York wasn�t working out for me,� Jimmy-Six answered, pulling up a chair. He motioned for Ben Reilly to do the same, and he did. �Too much for my blood, I guess.�
�Vicious country, New York,� the man agreed. �Who�s your friend?�
Jimmy-Six�s grizzled face twisted into a smile. �Allow me to introduce my partner. Back in the West, they called him �Benny the Taps�.� Ben wasn�t sure what kind of look his face had at that moment, but he was glad the room was dark so that this �boss� couldn�t see it.
�Ain�t heard of him,� the man said.
�He hasn�t been in America long,� Jimmy-Six said. �How else could he be so good? The Taps here is a first-class Arts Kid. Calling him the �Bullseye of the West� is probably an insult to his abilities. Ten men? He�ll knock him flat in half a second each, and he�ll do it with the grace of dancin�. That�s why they call him �Taps�.�
�I�ve heard words like that before,� the man said, taking another breath of smoke. Ben Reilly had already labeled him Cigar, not knowing his name. �You willin� to put Taps here up to a test?�
�Rude to talk about people like they aren�t around,� Ben said, standing. �And give me any test you want. Don�t worry about it, Jimmy. It won�t take long.�
�That�s the spirit,� Cigar said, smiling. �Alright, Taps. You�ve got moxie. Let�s see what else you have, eh? �GRAVE�.�
The balding man in the red tie and suit looked to his employer, nodded with a cruel smile that told Ben Reilly all he�d need to know about this customer. He had given and taken pain in his life, and he had enjoyed both. A switchblade was in the man�s hand in a flash, and Grave expertly approached�!
Grave charged forward, slashing with the blade even as another of the henchmen punched from the opposite direction. It was all slow motion. Ben twisted away as the knife sang through space, Grave barely managing to stop from cutting anything but the henchman�s suit.
�How much you want to bet that was an Armani?� Ben smiled, spinning in the air with deliberate grace. He had to show-off, he knew, and it was important to do so. He landed on one foot, sending the other shoe down upon the henchman�s skull. The mobster fell.
Grave gave no reaction, not a single change in his face. He slashed again in a wide arc, obviously hoping to keep Ben Reilly at a distance until he could corner him. When he raised the blade for a second blow, however, he found that it had been snapped off with a slap of his enemy�s palm.
He then received a kick in the stomach for his trouble. Grave landed hard upon Cigar�s table and did not stand. He lay there, groaning, as Cigar stood from his ruined food. Several other henchmen stepped forward...
�Two or twenty, Guys, it doesn�t matter to me!� Ben thought, landing in an improvised stance that he hoped looked something like Ninjitsu. �Just have to make this look good, without giving away my abilities. The blade thing is something that martial artists can actually do, though. So far, I�m free, and if I can just keep this up-�
�That�s quite enough,� Cigar said, clapping. �Your reputation suits you, Taps. Suits you fine. Sit down while my men clear away these two and get me a new dinner.�
Ben Reilly sat and glanced to his partner. Jimmy-Six was smiling.
�There�s a man who�s stolen $80,000 from a corporate friend of mine,� Cigar was saying. �You find him and get him to cough up what you can. There�s ten percent of whatever you can take out of him in it for you. Deal?�
The rest of the meeting was pleasant, but short. Cigar gave them a free meal, courtesy of the restaurant, and Ben had to admit that it was some of the best Italian he�d ever had. Afterwards, they�d been given the name of a good hotel and sent on their way. Night had descended by the time they�d exited the doors.
Jimmy-Six lit a smoke. They walked in silence for a few moments, before Ben Reilly finally spoke. He cleared his throat, said: �Who was that guy anyhow? Never even gave a name.�
�Didn�t need to. If it makes you feel better, though, he�s Frank Darabonte. Tough customer. Basically the man to see around here, as far as the Family goes.�
�The-? You mean the Mob?�
�Jimmy, you said this wasn�t going to be-�
�And it isn�t,� Jimmy-Six cut him off icily, turning to face him. �Frankie�s got a �partner� with a pretty good company. Some perp steals eighty thousand from it. What does Frankie do? He calls in the headhunters-that�s Us-instead of having his men blow the perp�s brains out. It�s legal investigation work in the place of Murder, so get yourself a grip.�
�But we�re still working for the Mob.�
�No. We�re working for a private corporation, on behalf of a citizen who�s got rights and no criminal record. We�re workin� against a guy who stole eighty thousand from another guy who ain�t done anything wrong. Get over yourself, �Taps�. The �Mob� is just a term a bunch of stupid civilians use when they�re describin� a single guy-or several guys-doin� something illegal. There�s no Mob. We�re doing good work. This is your change of pace you�ve been asking for. Are you in?�
�Yeah. Yeah, I�m in,� the Taps said. And the scary part: He WAS in.
This was no act to get on Jimmy-Six�s goodside. They weren�t doing anything illegal, even if their clients were less than reputable, and Ben was tired of his old life, of having to scrounge for pennies and agonize endlessly. Tired of being the double of a man named Peter Parker. It was time for Ben Reilly to become his own, sufficient, man, and one that lived the good life.
�Look out, Chicago!� he thought as he straightened his silk tie. �You�ve got a new enforcer. Here comes Benny the Taps!�
�So how exactly do we go about this?� Ben asked, pushing away the shot of whiskey that Jimmy-Six had ordered for him. About them were the sounds, smells, and visions of the pool hall. It was one of the nicer establishments, a little place that wasn�t considered a cr�me de la cr�me, but went out of its way to be respectable. A few men sunk an eight ball as they sipped on drinks, flirted with the present feminine company.
�We find this jerk that stole from our new employer and take his butt down. Then we get him to cough up the dough, and perhaps make him digest some of it,� Jimmy-Six grunted.
�Unnecessary violence isn�t my style, Jimmy.�
�Yeah, I know it. I know it. But you should be awares right now, see, that I�m not entirely jokin�. One man I knew stole a major diamond from an employer o� mine and wedged it right up his- Well, take a guess. Refused to give it up. I had to-!�
�Unless you�re not planning to eat the food we ordered, Jimmy-?�
�Fine,� Jimmy-Six smirked. �So�s we deals. We find this perp and we get the cash. Only probs we gots are prob�ly Time and Budget. The perp gets on a plane to Turkey, y�see, then we can�t follow him �cept at great expense, and finding someone in Turkey is Hell anyhow.�
�You don�t say.�
�I do.�
�So we just need to find this guy as soon as possible. How do we do that?�
�We don�t have to. I�ve got his address. We do it tomorrow and hope he�s still there.�
�Until then?�
�Sleep off the immense amount of alcohol I�m gonna slip you. You need to loosen up a bit, Taps. I�m going to see to it.�
Ben Reilly groaned, felt as if a hammer was pounding his head repeatedly. Jimmy-Six hadn�t crossed him yet on anything, and the liquor had been no exception. Ben wondered what Aunt May would think of her nephew (the clone of her nephew, he reminded himself . . . ) with a hangover, chasing a woman her age around the outside of a hotel. It would probably look pretty bad. Ben tried to picture it in his head:
�Let me explain-!� he would say to May. And then he would die.
�Yo, �Taps�!� Jimmy-Six growled, bringing Ben Reilly back to reality. �Are you gonna do this or is it me who gots the powers of a spider?�
Ben Reilly looked down at the 70-ish Miss Epstein, who�s bathrobe (the only thing she was wearing, save for modest underwear) was now billowing in the wind, giving the people down below something to really shout about. He sighed. A �curveball�, Jimmy-Six had said this was. This had sure better be a �curveball�.
Ben Reilly leaped out of the window, falling through the air quickly towards Miss Epstein�s location. The silk tie that Jimmy had bought him slipped out of his suit, slapping him in the face as he went, and it was solely his �spider-sense� that allowed Ben to land perfectly on a balcony railing. Miss Epstein looked up at him with eyes like dinner plates and then gave another shrill scream. He winced in pain, grabbed for her, and she struggled-�
�Miss Epste-!� he tried to cry, but he had already lost balance. They fell, past window after window of the posh building, in complete freefall as she screamed into his ear like a banshee�
He twisted, struggling to regain his senses and calculate how he�d fall. He could certainly take the fall and rebound from it, but in order not to hurt her� There!
They landed, his hand securely grabbing her wrist as they came to an easy start in the middle of an intersection. New sounds-the honking of cars as they slammed on their brakes- entered into Ben Reilly�s ears. Somewhere to his right, a Chevrolet slammed into a fire hydrant.
But he had her. He had her.
She screamed into his ear and kicked him in the balls.
He let go of her.
She was immediately off again, running through the street, flashing everyone in sight with her loose bathrobe and , and Ben Reilly took a moment to reflect. The long, gray hair of the woman was disheveled and sticking virtually straight up, combining with her long, stringy body to make her look like a scarecrow in her ratty robe. If the truth was to be known, she looked like SHE should be chasing THEM. All the old crow needed was an axe and a target.
Jimmy-Six was suddenly at his side, yelling. �What the hell was dat?�
�Below the belt,� Ben mumbled.
�Oh? Dat how you lost to them supervillains, Ben? The Hobgoblin kick you in the-?�
�I really don�t want to talk about this. Let�s just get her, alright? Where did she go?�
�Down the market street. Youse get her. I�ll take care of the angry motorists.�
�The angry-? Oh. Great.�
Ben Reilly took a powerful leap, sailing over the heads of infuriated people who had newly-damaged cars and probably lawyers. Jimmy-Six sighed, reaching into the gray trenchcoat that hung around his large body, and produced a small stack of business cards. This was going to cost them a good bit of their pay. What a great way to kick off a new enterprise.
� �Taps�,� he mumbled, ��You�d better catch �er..�
Ben rebounded off a car hood with acrobatic ease, finally seeing Miss Epstein in his sights again. She had managed to attract another pursuer this time, a policeman, who also seemed to be learning what it meant to attempt apprehension of an old German actress. But this time, he wouldn�t fail.
As he jumped, he grabbed a nearby awning, ripping it away from the roof of the small caf�. He clutched it carefully, taking a deep breath, and when he thought he had an opening- Leaped!
She wasn�t expecting him, having just finished biting the police officer in the arm. In a blur of speed, Ben wrapped the awning around her, closing it tightly, and she fell to the sidewalk.
A canvas bag fell from her hand, and Reilly caught it. Success!
Before the policeman could question him, he was moving again, darting into a nearby alley and then calmly walking back to where he had left Jimmy-Six. The grizzled son of a mobster had just finished calming down the last citizen, and Ben noticed that he had run out of business cards.
�Not good,� he thought with a sigh, but he was too exhausted to worry about it. Jimmy-Six turned and gave him a glare of his own, put a cigarette in his mouth and lit up. Stress, probably. Ben would believe that in a second. This was supposed to have been an easy job.
�Tell me you got it,� Jimmy-Six said simply.
�I got it,� Ben said, but he opened the canvas bag just to make sure. Inside was money, far more of it than Ben had ever seen in one place. He sighed with relief, closed it again.
�Grave�s pickin� us up,� Jimmy said, sitting down on the sidewalk. Ben collapsed next to him and looked himself over. Both of them had probably half-ruined their new, very expensive suits. Jimmy was mumbling something about lost cufflinks. Ben leaned against the storefront and someone threw a dollar bill at them.
�God bless you,� he mumbled at the passing man.
�We really look that bad?� Jimmy-Six muttered.
�Like out-of-workers on Wall Street, yeah. So, just because I�m still a little confused-..�
�Like I know. The embezzler�s name was Patrick Durham. Apparently, he gave the money to that batty old hen for safekeepin���
�And did she do her little boy proud,� Ben groaned. �Where�s Durham now?�
�I think Grave�s got him.�
�Lucky him, considering what I feel like doing to-..�
A car stopped, a black Sedan, and Grave stepped out. The suit and tie were bright green this time around, on black, making Ben wonder once more who Grave�s tailor was. The dark eyes regarded the two men for a moment without humor.
�I have Durham,� he finally said, stepping back into the car.
Together, Ben and Jimmy stood and rolled into the backseat of the car. The windows had been tinted, the entire car an odd shade of black- Obviously, Grave�s personal automobile. In the front passenger�s seat, Patrick Durham was cuffed and unconscious. Ben Reilly�s eyes widened slightly-
�I wouldn�t worry,� Grave said, leaning back in his own seat. There was something in his hand, and Ben saw that it was a badge. �I�m a cop, too.�
�How wonderful,� Ben thought, relaxing on the leather.
�Don�t get comfortable. Where�s the money?� Grave asked. Jimmy-Six�s meaty hand produced the canvas bag, and for several minutes, Grave rifled through it, counting, examining its contents. Finally, he put the bag down, satisfied, and eyed them through his rearview mirror.
�The Boss�ll have the $8,000 in your account with �im by tomorrow,� Grave said. �And just so that we�re clear-..� He gestured at the accidents that the chase had caused on the road. �-he ain�t paying for any of this.�
Jimmy-Six only nodded in surrender. He hadn�t expected the employer to do it. He looked to Ben Reilly and motioned for his partner to get out of the car, which the ex-superhero reluctantly did. Grave said no further word to them. Once they were out, the car was placed into Drive, and it sped away, leaving them on the corner.
�You have fun?� Jimmy-Six asked.
�Where�s Carnage when you need him?� Ben coughed.
There was a loud beep. Jimmy-Six reached into his pocket, produced a pager, read the message. After he was done, he put it away and looked at the sky for a moment, as if taking a moment to reflect, or perhaps simply to make Ben wait.
Finally, he flicked away his cigarette with stunning accuracy, landing it inside a sewer grate, and started walking. Ben followed.
�What was that?� he asked. Jimmy-Six raised an arm and yelled for a taxi.
�Another employer,� Jimmy-Six said. �He wants us in his office in an hour. Seems he wants two bodyguards to see him onto a plane for Dallas. He thinks someone might take a shot at him.�
�What-?! We just finished a case!�
�Yeah, and after we finish payin� the damages, we�ll be several thou� in the hole. Smooth out your suit the best you can and wet your hair, �Taps�. We got work to do and we need the cash.�
Reilly sighed in defeat. He donned his leather gloves, flexed his fingers, straightened his tie. Followed.
�So,� the new employer would say later, looking them over. �You�re the two. �Jimmy-Six� and� what was it? �Benny the Taps�?�
�Yes, Sir,� they�d say.
�You look like Hell,� he�d note.
�We recently visited its mother,� Jimmy-Six muttered.
�Two thousand for each of you. One morning�s work. You get to the airport at seven thirty and make sure Winson Brigham gets on that plane safe. You in?�
�Yes, Sir.�
�Good. Now who do I say I jus� hired in my report? You guys got some sorta business name?�
They exchanged looks, and Ben Reilly remembered- just at that moment- a case that he had when he was just starting out as Spider-Man (when Peter had started out as Spider-Man, he thought�). A group of thugs he�d once known, led by a man he�d thought he could trust- What were they called? Oh yeah.
�We�re the Enforcers,� Benny the Taps said.
Time to get to work. Despite that day�s work, he thought he�d like it in Chicago�
*** The End ***
A quick note of thanks to James Wagner, an ex-private investigator who�s autobiography �Jimmy the Wags� I pilfered a bit from for this story. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of the book, as it is simply some of the best light reading I�ve done in a while. I laughed, I cried, etc. etc. etc. Without it, I am sure that I would have had no interest in writing anything remotely like �The Enforcers� under New Marvel�s lil� umbrella.
That�s it. I�m done. I�ll see you again. When I�m King of the World.

My very humble respects. " Punch bowed low, but if the satan did a similar Punch whacked him over the top together with his stick. "Take that, Sir bleeding-high-and-mighty devil! " Letty's newly improvised shaggy dog story made Caleb laugh with laughter. He was once virtually bent double whilst beneath the crowd's noise he heard a low, rumbling snicker – hot and universal. Swinging round, he scanned the group. And convinced – there ultimately used to be the bishop! Oh, thank God! yet for him, Pa could have hanged. Caleb's center went out in gratitude. The bishop, Caleb knew, didn't wish to have his leisure interrupted. the fellow had in simple terms simply arrived and but he couldn't omit this chance. He driven his manner throughout the throng. "May I converse with you, sir? " The bishop checked out him. "You are the puppeteer's lad? " "I am. " "By God, you've grown! I'm satisfied to work out you, boy. It was once a such a lot unlucky tragedy! He used to be transported, used to be he no longer? " "He used to be, sir. i'm grateful that you simply spoke for him.

How was once he to explain Letty's dating to himself? He may scarcely admit to a churchman that they shared a mattress – albeit with 5 others – and but weren't wed! "My cousin," he lied. If the bishop spotted his hesitation he didn't comment on it. "He does it good. " "Ah … sir, my cousin is a girl. " "Indeed? You shock me. " The bishop appeared a bit puzzled by means of the inspiration yet he didn't intend for it to break his leisure. He grew to become again to the express, indicating that the dialog used to be over. yet Caleb used to be no longer able to be disregarded. "Sir, there's something i need to inform you.

And we're back. Apologies for the delay in getting this introduction up on the blog but here's Darrell Buxton's intro read in tooth and claw.
Hello and welcome to Fright Club for tonight's screening of the controversial new French shocker, RAW.
My name's Darrell Buxton, I'm QUAD's regular horror host and have been a lifelong horror movie fan. I've also been a vegetarian for the past eleven years, and one thing I've noticed is that you don't get too many vegetarian horror films. Perhaps you could say that THE WICKER MAN was all about apples; ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES and its sequels saw the fruit and veg mounting a fightback; you might wish to include the Aardman classic WALLACE & GROMIT: CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT, which Nick Park did indeed describe as "the first vegetarian horror film" during his publicity interviews; and, perhaps inevitably, 2010 brought us the ultra low budget American DV production ATTACK OF THE VEGAN ZOMBIES.
RAW focuses upon a central veggie character, Justine, played by Garance Marillier. Justine is not only a vegetarian, she's also a veterinarian – or at least is planning to be, as she embarks on classes to learn the skills necessary to tend and care for infirm animals. The sick puppies we soon encounter are of the human variety, however, since in a throwback to the golden days of the American slasher movie, Justine is forced to undergo a 'hazing' initiation ritual by her classmates – involving consumption of hitherto forbidden meat, in the form of uncooked liver. The effect this has on the young student is startling, and the events of the remainder of the film have reportedly caused audiences to feel decidedly queasy – the word from a screening at the Toronto International Film Festival claimed that several viewers fainted and that an ambulance had to be called, with the realism of the special make-up bite marks and so on being the supposed cause. We're ready for anything this evening and have a hotline to the Royal Derby Hospital, just in case.
RAW is far from being the first French fright flick to delve into such gruesome territory. Claire Denis directed TROUBLE EVERY DAY in 2001, starring Vincent Gallo and featuring loopy Beatrice Dalle of BETTY BLUE fame as a cannibalistic killer Coré Semeneau, kept locked away by her neurosurgeon husband but breaking loose to frenziedly kill male victims in an orgy of biting and tongue-ripping. And the late great director Jean Rollin, one of our major favourites here at Fright Club, offered a cult of cultured, well-dressed, high society female blood drinkers in his brilliant 1979 movie FASCINATION.
So RAW's director, 34 year old Julia Ducournau, is following in something of a home tradition. The movie also echoes recent cannibalistic hits from other corners of the world, notably the Mexican WE ARE WHAT WE ARE and its even better American remake. The classic 'mondo' style of exploitative jungle native cannibal gut-munching as seen in notorious 1980s Italian favourites like CANNIBAL FEROX, EATEN ALIVE and CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST was revived by Eli Roth's faithful homage GREEN INFERNO a couple of years back, but the spectre of Hannibal Lecter has loomed large over horror since the early 90s, adding sophistication and class to the act of devouring one's fellow man, bringing the feast indoors and adding china plates, cutlery and Chianti to the ritual. So overpowering has been SILENCE OF THE LAMBS in influencing subsequent horror cinema that it's a surprise there haven't been masses of masticating murderous gourmets following in Dr. Lecter's wake on screen, but RAW at least sets its own chomping carnage in similar contemporary times and adds to the modern menu of mayhem.
Catherine Bray's glowing review of RAW in 'Variety', after seeing the movie at Cannes, suggested that the festival jurors might have to "reach for the barf bag". Bray loved the film, commenting on the effective performances of bewildered Marillier and the punky Ella Rumpf, playing the lead character's older sister Alexia in what Variety's critic cites as being a cross between Dalle's Betty Blue and Fairuza Balk's whirlwind witchy turn in THE CRAFT, itself screened by us here not too long ago. Mark Kermode gave RAW a 5-star rating in The Guardian last month, stating "what is very impressive about RAW is that absolutely everything in it is disquieting, not just the obvious moments of revulsion; there is no let-up in the ambient background buzz of fear". He compares the film's sisterly relationship to that of the Canadian werewolf film GINGER SNAPS, and says that the title RAW is "a pretty accurate description of how I was feeling by the end".
Finally, a quick mention for the film's soundtrack by English composer Jim Williams. Jim did the music for Ben Wheatley's DOWN TERRACE, KILL LIST, SIGHTSEERS and A FIELD IN ENGLAND and is on fine form here, mixing acoustic piano and string tracks with intense choral and organ-driven pieces and the occasional ear-punishing item. There's already a vinyl LP available via the excellent Death Waltz record label so if you like what you hear, add that to your shopping basket or at least to your Spotify playlist.
Enjoy the film, and if you should decide to stop off for a kebab on the way home, don't say you haven't been warned.

July Newsletter
10 Aug 2017
This year has flown by! Sessional care broke up for Summer on Friday 21st July and will return to nursery on Monday 4th September, day-care continues as normal until Friday 25th August when the current daycare year ends. We are closed Bank Holiday Monday 28th August.
Many thanks to the parents of the children starting school in September who popped in to see us last Thursday, it was nice to speak to you about your child's Learning Journey. The on-line section can be downloaded and printed should you wish to add it to your child's folder, a copy of your child's report and individual tracking has been sent to your child's school.
Nursery Education Grant Funding – 15 and 30 hours, you will have received an email informing you that the grant form is in your child's drawer, please complete this and return it to Jo by Friday 28th July, if this is not returned in time we will be unable to access the funding for your child in September, the Local Authority do not fund retrospectively, therefore you will have to pay in full until January.
Over the next few weeks, we will be sending out letters to those parents whose children are changing key-people, the younger children who are moving from room 2 to room 1 will start over the next few weeks spending time in room 1, getting to know their new key person, increasing their time there until they are fully settled, some children settle in very quickly, some take a bit longer, we support each child individually until they feel happy to come in. The pre-school children are aged from 3 to 5 years therefore children who are 'rising 3' i.e. will turn 3 before the end of January will also be moving through from room 2, we trialled this last year and it worked really well for that cohort of children. Children who are moving out of the Nest will spend periods in the room with their key-person , they are welcome to return to the Nest if they wish, however most seem raring to go!
This is always a sad time of year when we have to say goodbye to our children starting school, we have really loved having them here and will miss them
Thank-you for choosing Fledglings for your child, and to all of you who say such lovely things about us we really do appreciate it.
I know our staff are exceptional …but it's nice to hear it from other people too!!!
Have a good Summer,
Best wishes,
Julie Longbottom

Consumer choice for financial products and services is proliferating across global markets. The ability to reach consumers at any time on their mobile phones, tablets or other devices has helped attract substantial capital investment in consumer financial services. This survey of consumer finance law describes the legal and regulatory approaches taken in the jurisdictions covered. Each chapter addresses the key characteristics of, and current climate within, a particular jurisdiction. Although payments, lending and deposits are the focus of this survey, other financial products and services are discussed where relevant.

While there have been ups and downs, of course, for leveraged finance over the last 40 years (most notably during the financial crisis), leveraged finance used to support acquisitions has become a very big business and is almost certainly here to stay (and probably grow). This volume is intended to contribute to the knowledge base of lawyers who participate, or aspire to participate, in leveraged finance used for acquisitions. It will hopefully provide an overview and introduction for the novice and be a ready resource for an active practitioner who needs to know about relevant laws and practices in jurisdictions around the world.

The Virtual Currency Regulation Review is intended to provide a practical, business-focused analysis of recent legal and regulatory changes and developments, and of their effects, and to look forward at expected trends in the area of virtual currencies on a country-by-country basis. We are still very much in the early days of the virtual currency revolution. No one can truthfully claim to know what the future holds for virtual currencies, but as it does not appear to be a passing fad, we have endeavoured to provide as much useful information as practicable concerning the regulation of virtual currency

The overriding theme of the last 12 months is that of continuing regulatory change in the private wealth arena. A sense of increasing pace and convergence in particular stand out in comparison with earlier years. The pace component is best seen in the introduction of new regimes or the updating of existing rules. The theme of convergence is based upon how centrally significant the concept of 'beneficial ownership' is becoming to many of the initiatives. A third strand is an increasing divergence between the European Union and the United States in this arena:
the European Union continues to force the pace on transparency, while the United States proceeds at a much more leisurely speed and gives greater weight to privacy concerns than its European neighbours.

This book serves two purposes, one obvious, but the other possibly less so. Quite obviously, and one reason for its continuing popularity, The International Capital Markets Review addresses the comparative law aspect of our readers' international capital markets (ICM) workload and equips them with a comparative law reference source. Globalisation and technological change mean that the transactional practice of a capital markets lawyer, wherever based, no longer enjoys the luxury, if ever it did, of focusing solely at home within the confines of a single jurisdiction. Globalisation means that fewer and fewer opportunities or challenges are truly local, and technology more and more permits a practitioner to tackle international issues.

This volume offers an in-depth review of market conditions and insolvency case developments in key countries around the world. A debt of gratitude is owed to the outstanding professionals the world over who dedicated their time and talents to this book. This book is a significant undertaking because of the current coverage of developments we seek to provide. As always, the hope is that this year's volume will help all of us, authors and readers alike, reflect on the larger picture, keeping our eye on likely, as well as necessary, developments, both on the near and distant horizons.

Islamic finance has grown rapidly during the past 20 years, in market participants, structuring expertise and transaction types. The chapters in this book illustrate the dynamic manner in which Islamic finance has adapted and continues to develop globally. Although each country will have variations, one of the most striking features of Islamic finance as a legal discipline is that it includes core concepts and structures that cross jurisdictional boundaries.

While the global financial crisis of 2007 and 2008 may feel like an increasingly distant memory, its effects continue to be felt across the whole of the financial world. Despite significant improvements in the global economic landscape in the intervening years, global growth has been hampered in recent years by various geopolitical factors, including political uncertainty resulting from the change in administration in the US in 2016 and the rise of populist movements in Europe. The world of asset management is increasingly complex, but it is hoped that this edition will be a useful and practical companion as we face the challenges and opportunities of the coming year.

Transfer pricing rules are, of course, a central plank in governments' fight against profit shifting, and the application and evolution of these rules will (rightly) continue to be high up the corporate tax agenda for many years to come.

The global economic upswing, which began in 2016, continues to strengthen with global GDP growth reaching 3.9 per cent in the second quarter of 2018 and expected to increase further in the second half of 2018. World trade growth accelerated by 4.7 per cent in 2017, following trade growth of only 1.8 per cent in 2016. This is largely driven by cyclical improvements and an increase in investment growth in developed economies.

This fourth edition of The Lending and Secured Finance Review contains contributions from leading practitioners in 25 different countries, and I would like to thank each of the contributors for taking the time to share their expertise on the developments in the corporate lending and secured finance markets in their respective jurisdictions and on the challenges and opportunities facing market participants.

This first edition of The Financial Technology Law Review is published at a time when most players in the finance sector are concerned about the new developments that information technology (IT), big data and artificial intelligence (AI). Hence, it is often forgotten that the use of IT in the finance sector is not new and that many applications that would come under fintech are already quite old, at least by today's standards.
Jan Putnis
Banking regulation is a never-ending quest to balance the three major policy objectives of financial stability, consumer protection and the needs of developed economies for reliable services involving the provision and intermediation of finance. It is safe to say that the relative importance of these factors to policymakers will never be constant.

The Transport Finance Law Review is intended to provide the industry with a guide to transport finance today, in each of the key jurisdictions globally in which aircraft, rolling stock and ships are financed.

So recently I've been a bit taken by the perceptual mechanisms that Adam and Eve might have had that we do not. We see in Genesis 2 that there were trees in the garden (I know what those look like) and these trees had things like knowledge and life growing on the branches (I have NO IDEA what those things look like!).
The knowledge of good has done more to separate people from God than the knowledge of evil. This is what Rick Joyner says in his amazing book, "There were Two Trees in the Garden". Continue Reading
Dallas Willard has described our modern version of Christianity as the "Gospel of Sin-Management", because of our propensity to think in terms of "what do I do about my sin?". How do I stop, it? Is it sin if I…? What do I do when I do sin? How do I control my "besetting sin"? All these seem to be the central focus of christian practice. If not preventing or managing bad behavior, we are trying to foster "good" behavior. Read your Bible, Pray more. All these things seem so different from what Jesus seemed to say and do for people. How odd that the religion we named after Him promotes itself differently than He did.
It seems to me that when we go back to God's original blueprint we might adjust (again) our view of the message and work of Jesus.
God had always intended to cover the creation with His nature, and He has always intended that His method be mankind, re-presenting, or presenting again His nature in the places we inhabit. When Adam and his wife turned the keys over to God's adversary, God was not confused, frustrated, or shocked. This was all still part of His strategy to achieve His goal.
Part of His nature is that He is a Redeemer and and a Repairer, so to cover the creation with that, He would redeem and restore mankind. In so doing, He could resume covering the earth with Himself. As He re-forms His image in us, we re-present Him as we go. Where confusion has been we can bring clarity. Where fear has been we can deliver perfect love. Where anxiety has been, we can step in and restore peace beyond understanding.
Sure, these things don't work as well when we are arm-wrestling our own behavior patterns, but winning the behavioral struggle was not the ultimate goal of the death and resurrection of Jesus. The cross allows us to be reconciled again to God, so that He, in us might fill the world with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, meekness, mercy and self-control.
In other words God's goal was not to straighten out a bunch of mis-behaving miscreants, it was to bring sons and daughters back into a relationship in which His life flows through us to the creation around us.
Try hard to be good if you want, but you could just yield to a very effective transformation process, in which God Himself is making you again into the person He designed you to be. Would it make any sense at all for God to make you, and then expect you to be someone other than who He made you to be? Become Yourself….
"Do you mind if I give you my perspective?" He asked. I couldn't help my self, I responded, "Well of course not, it's the only one you have". Literally our perspective is all we ever have. Even when it changes it is still our NEW perspective. Continue Reading
"That sounds great but how do I DO it?" This is the most common response to conversation about the Tree of Life. People begin to sense the stirring in the room when the conversation arises, and, like the aroma of popcorn, it makes them desirous. Then, their next responses tell me whether or not they are "getting it." Continue Reading
We have spent a great deal of time, resource, energy and strategy trying to stop Bad Behavior. What if that is not the real target? The Problem that entered the human race in the beginning resulted in Bad Behavior. Continue Reading
The last several posts on the difference between knowing God and living by the Knowledge of Good and Evil are designed to really help us sort out the thing that Jesus admonishes us to "seek first". As I continue to look for ways to convey this all important distinction, it came to me. The key question is, are we a receiver or a generator?
A receiver has no use or function without a broadcast source, and is only limited by the limitations of the broadcaster.
A generator is it's own source, and is therefore limited to whatever it can produce.
Life connected to the tree of Life, the Living and Active Breathof God, makes us receivers.
Life by the Knowledge of Good and Evil makes us generators. We produce from our own storehouse, and interpret through our own lenses.
That's all I'm going to say about that. Anything else would just be me trying to be a generator.
"Watch, I'll show you what I'm made of," we say when we want to show others our strength or capabilities. Wouldn't it be cool to figure out what we are really made of? And I don't mean like skin and bones. I mean how we are put together.
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete… 1 Thessalonians 5:23
the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Genesis 2:7
In the Bible we find an account of the creation of man that can be really helpful in figuring out the make-up of our being..
"God formed the man from the dust of the ground…"
God formed a physical structure which had no life in and of itself.
…He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life…"
The Spirit of Life, the Spirit or breath of God entered the inanimate form
The man became a living being…( a self or a soul)
The man became an independent entity, still containing the breath of life, the Spirit of God.
Man became a physical form, made to be an independent being (a soul), containing the breath of God. What made the man who he was came from the fact that he was born from the breath of God.
Living from this center, from the Breath of God, meant that through his physical self, God Himself was empowering Adams life.
When Adam sinned, it was the Breath that left him. The "self" remained, but it was disconnected. A soul without the Spirit. While the spirit had been the way the man connected to God and the spiritual realm, the soul was how the man interacted with his natural environment. Without the Spirit his mind, his will, andhis emotions, became his source of power, and source of truth.
When we are "born again" it is this Spirit which is birthed in us, or gives us birth from the Heavens (spiritual realm).
Once the Spirit of God is re-established in us, we are still faced moment by moment with the exercise of the will as to whether we will live from the Spirit within us, or whether we will live out of our soul.
Living by the Knowledge of Good and Evil still has us living from the soul, our disconnected self. Knowing God, the Tree of Life, restores a power source, greater than us.
Thinking from the mind, will and emotions is different than tapping into the Spirit of God and having your mind renewed. This is the kind of "thinking differently" we are after.
I pulled into the parking lot. What I saw with my eyes was the same thing I saw every day. But something was not right. I could not explain it but I could describe it. Something felt amiss, not right, out of place. A disturbance in the Force if you will. The cars were parked exactly as they should have been, the doors were locked as they should have been. But the more things appeared normal, the more the tension grew inside. What I was seeing with my eyes was not lining up with…with…what I…knew.
I opened the secure door to enter the detention facility and for the first time what I heard with my senses lined up with what I sensed with my…guts…inner man…intuition…okay, call it spirit. The noises coming down the hallway were chaotic and carried a sense of urgency. I moved quickly now to find my co-workers in a restraint situation, but it was more. The whole hallway, and both wings of locked rooms were a mess. Noise and clutter told me that this restraint was not a matter of one misbehaving resident, but a major incident involving the whole facility.
How did I know that something was going on that day at the Juvenile Detention Center? I can probably explain it better today, than I could at the time. It is this sense on which I want to elaborate. We have ways of knowing with which we must grow increasingly familiar.
My friend Alan Smith ( http://alansmithonline.com/ ) says that our ways of knowing are like contact lenses (or did I say that…? I forget) We look through them all the time but we seldom look at them. Yet it is these very lenses that either allow or disallow input into our awareness. Not only that but, different ways of knowing allow different types of input.
The way I know quantum physics is not the same way I know I am in love. The way I know about unseen danger, is different than the way I know how to make cheesecake. And the way I know God is different than the way I know good and evil.
If we try to know God in the same way we know good and evil, we are set up for multiple traps.
Knowing God takes place in our Spirit and flows into our soul and body
Knowing good and evil takes place in our soul and cannot access our spirit
Knowing God comes at His initiative and our receptivity and accesses His strength.
Knowing good and evil comes at our initiative and depends on the strength of our will.
Knowing God keeps us rightly aligned with reality and others
Knowing good and evil puts us on a comparison basis where we struggle with either pride or shame
Knowing God is like plugging into a power source outside of us
Knowing good and evil makes us the power source
We can study or even teach the same passage of scripture, even use the same outline, perhaps even use the same word choices, and have completely different impacts because of the above distinctions. God can produce effects that we cannot.
Have you ever had someone who was angry at you, utilize words that portray that they are not angry? Yet their posture, their gritted teeth, the tension of their jaw, and countless other signs tell you that their words and the energy in their soul simply do not match.
This is what happens when we try to use God's words, but operate from the knowledge of good and evil.
Repentance is the act of shifting from knowing good and evil, to knowing God. Change your lenses. You can look again at what you have seen all of your life, and it appears brand new. Change your lenses.
Or as Jesus would say…if you will have eyes that see…I am pretty sure He was encouraging us to Think Differently.
It's a good thing that Cherubim was there with that sword.
What are you looking for?

I am quite satisfied with my current business revenue, but I don't think I need a mobile app...this is the most common statement you get to hear from the small businesses' owner, and it is not surprising even since it is a very common thought, which revolves around the small industry owners. I am indeed not here advocating against this ideology, but am willing to give some strong reasons, that may compel the small businesses to adopt the mobile app development at a larger scale.
It is not a hidden fact anymore, that mobile apps are ruling the world and due to the myriad of benefits associated with the mobile apps, many industries, and business domains have happily adopted the mobile app technology in their business expansion plan. When it comes to the mobile apps, it is hard to associate the mobile apps with one particular business sector only; rather mobile apps are there to serve every business/ every sector regardless of their size and demand. If you find it unusual enough, then I insist you read ahead, and find out why your small business requires a mobile app…
When you initiate a startup/ small business, the ultimate goal which lies behind is gaining the enormous revenue generation, which can only happen when the business is getting expanded and reaching to the maximum number of people. Do you really feel this is possible with just an offline mode of marketing, where a limited number of people come to access your business at a particular time slot, of course, the answer is NO, so the only source of getting your business expanded is through a mobile app, which lets your business hit every nook and corner of the world, by the potential and the targeted user base.
I totally concur with you that your business is highly accessible to your customers, but there is always a time limitation with the brick and mortar shops, since you are supposed to adhere to the timings of the opening and closing hours, which somehow affect the business revenue growth, since you lose that potential chunk of the customers, who is bound to visit and access your services at non-working hours, but with a mobile app this hurdle is easy to be achieved, since your customers can access your business from anywhere and at any time. This would help your business grow and expand without being affected.
Competition is an integral part of every business, regardless of its size. Albeit, the mobile apps have invaded the small businesses, but the grip of the mobile app is still quite loose on the small business industry, which gives you a strong platform to get an EDGE over your competitors. Your customers would be delighted to acknowledge your presence on the digital portal, which is highly usable from all corners.
The visibility time your services/ product mark on your customer's brain marks a huge difference for your business revenue chart. The visibility factor is highly significant for your business growth and luckily a mobile app happily serves this purpose. With a mobile app, your business remains available on your user's mobile phone and reminds them constantly about your services and products. Also, the push-notification and the in-app messages help the customers to make a smart buy and opt for your services for any discount/ offers depending on the occasion/season and festival.
A mobile app is not just a technical advancement feature, which you are going to include in your business, rather it helps your business to boost sales dramatically. With a mobile app, your business gains its deserving recognition amongst the potential user base across the globe, wherein users can access and buy your services, regardless of time-zone and distance barrier, helping your business to get multiplied revenue benefits.
A mobile app comes with various benefits for your small business, and help it to grow bigger, but there lies one more factor which needs to be considered very carefully, and that is the selection of right mobile app Development Company for your business needs. The mobile app development field is full of options which can make you go little confused, but here I have brought a solution for you with a mobile app development company Fifium- a leading name in the mobile app development field.

All links have been removed because this list is outdated. Click here for the current list of top credit cards for travel.
There are a lot of reasons to collect miles and points.
- For free luxury hotel stays and first class flights
- To travel to more countries than you could otherwise afford
- To take your family on vacation
- To visit home for the holidays
- To earn big rewards for everyday spending
Whatever your reason for being here, there is a rewards card or cards that suit your needs.
Since the start of last year, I've been to 26 countries, travel that would have been completely impossible without miles and points earned from credit cards. This has been my life thanks to miles:
- Eating more steak than anyone should in Brazil and Argentina
- Cliff jumping in Dubrovnik, Croatia
- Leading an "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!" cheer in Rod Laver Arena during the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne, Australia
- Scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef
- Eating Thai-hot Thai curry in Thailand at Thai prices
- Biking in the Lake District of Patagonia in Bariloche, Argentina
- Spending three days at Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany
- Seeing Angkor Wat near Siem Reap, Cambodia
- Getting some home cooking from my mom who lives 5,000 miles away
If you don't have the money to take your dream trips, the good news is that you don't need much money. By maximizing the sign up bonuses on rewards cards, anyone with good credit can take a dream trip anywhere in the world.
- How can you earn rewards for the trips of your dreams?
- What are the best credit card offers for July 2014?
1. Citi Executive / AAdvantage World Elite MasterCard
With recent devaluations to the United and Delta award charts, American Airlines miles and US Airways miles are the most valuable miles for now.
American Airlines miles are the undisputed best miles for ultra-luxury redemptions, and the miles are valuable for trips to Asia, South America, Europe, and Australia. On a recent trip, I spent 67,500 American Airlines miles for a First Class redemption from New York City to Singapore with 23 hours in Macau along the way.
Citi offers the American Airlines Executive Card with 100,000 bonus miles after spending $10k in the first three months.
Beyond the sign up bonus, cardholders also get free lounge access in American Airlines lounges worldwide.
The card has a gigantic $450 annual fee, though it is partially offset by $200 in statement credits on your first $200 in purchases on the card.
The landing page for this 100,000 mile offer has been take down, a possible sign that the deal will end soon. Here is a direct linkto the 100,000 mile offer, which does not mention the card's bonus. Folks report applying through that page and getting the bonus. Your miles may vary.
2 and 3. Ink Plus and Ink Bold
The Inks are business cards that offer 50,000 Ultimate Rewards sign up bonuses after spending $5k in the first three months. Ultimate Rewards transfer 1:1 to United, British Airways, Korean, Southwest, Virgin Atlantic, Hyatt, Amtrak, and more.
The Inks earn 5x points on internet, phone, and cell phone bills; 5x points on purchases at office supply stores; 2x points on hotels and gas; and 1x points on everything else.
The Inks have no annual fee the first 12 months, $95 thereafter.
The Ink Bold is exactly the same as the Ink Plus except the Plus is a credit card and the Bold is a charge card. That means the Bold must be paid off in full each month, while you can run a balance on the Plus. Because of this difference, I have gotten both for the same business.
I used Ultimate Rewards (transferred to Hyatt points) to book the Grand Hyatt Macau and Ultimate Rewards (transferred to United miles) to book Slovenia-to-North Carolina in Lufthansa First Class on a recent trip.
4. US Airways Premier World MasterCard
The US Airways® Premier World MasterCard® is now offering 40,000 bonus miles after first purchase. US Airways miles are the most valuable miles right now because of how cheap business class awards are on the US Airways award chart.
The other big perks are a 5,000 mile discount on awards booked entirely on US Airways metal and a free checked bag for you and four companions on paid US Airways flights purchased with the cards.
The card earns 1 US Airways mile per dollar on all purchases and 2 miles per dollar on US Airways purchases.
There is an $89 annual fee.
US Airways has an incredible award chart to use the miles now, or they will be converted to American Airlines miles during the merger, which is a fair conversion.
This card will disappear in early 2015 when US Airways' and American Airlines' loyalty programs combine.
Application Link: The US Airways® Premier World MasterCard®
5. Arrival Plus
The Barclaycard Arrival PlusTM World Elite MasterCard® is a great card for families that travel in economy, since Arrival miles can be used to book any flight on any airline with no blackouts. Miles can also be redeemed for any hotel or other travel expense.
This card comes with 40,000 bonus miles after spending $3,000 in the first 90 days and earns 2 miles per dollar on all purchases.
Miles are worth 1.14 cents each, so spending $3,000 on the card in the first 90 days earns more than $500 in free flights or other travel expenses.
With this card you can book any flight on any airline at any time, or any hotel, or rental car, then redeem your miles for a statement credit equal to the cost. Here's how.
The 40,000 bonus miles could be used on any $400 flight without the need to find award space. You would even earn miles for flying the flight, since the airline will see it as a cash ticket!
Plus you get a 10% rebate after every redemption for travel, so after redeeming the 40,000 miles for $400 in travel, you get 4,000 miles back, worth $40 more dollars.
I have used my Arrival miles on a recent trip to book a motel and domestic flights like a $150 trip from Raleigh to Tampa that would have been a poor value with traditional miles.
This card fills the gaps in a miles strategy because the rewards are perfect for cheap domestic flights or hotels that otherwise would be bad redemptions with traditional airline miles and hotel points.
There is no annual fee the first year, $89 thereafter.
Application Link: Barclaycard Arrival PlusTM World Elite MasterCard®
6. Sapphire Preferred
The Chase Sapphire Preferred is a personal card that earns 40k Ultimate Rewards after spending $3k in 3 months. Ultimate Rewards transfer 1:1 to United, British Airways, Korean, Southwest, Virgin Atlantic, Hyatt, Amtrak, and more.
You also get 5k bonus points for adding an authorized user while applying, so I think of this as a 45k bonus point card. (Adding an authorized user does not prevent that person from getting the card at the same time or in the future as a primary account holder and getting the full sign up bonus.)
The Sapphire Preferred earns 2x points on dining and travel. Dining includes bars, restaurants, and fast food. Travel includes airfare, hotels, taxis, rental cars, tolls, parking, and much more.
The other big bonus is a 7% annual points dividend each January on all the points (other than the sign up bonus) earned in the previous calendar year.
The Sapphire Preferred has no annual fee the first year, then $95 thereafter.
7. Citi ThankYou Premier Rewards Card
For people who want domestic or economy flights, traditional airline miles are often a poor value. For those flights, cards that earn flexible points that can be redeemed for any flight with no blackouts are often the better deal. The Citi ThankYou® Premier Rewards Card earns those super flexible points.
The card has no annual fee the first year, then $125.
Application Link: Citi ThankYou® Premier Rewards Card
I just got my Citi ThankYou Premier Rewards card in February, and I have not had a chance to use the rewards yet.
8. Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card
The Citi® Hilton HHonors™ Reserve Card is the best card for giving you free luxury hotel nights. The card comes with two free weekend nights at Hiltons worldwide after spending $2,500 in the first four months. The free nights are best spent at top-tier Hiltons and Conrads that can go for $500 or more per night.
For a limited time, the card even comes with a $100 statement credit if you spend $100+ on a Hilton stay in the first 90 days after getting the card.
This card is perfect to get aspirational stays at top tier properties like the Conrad Koh Samui that goes for 95,000 Hilton points per night and costs more than $1k per night.
The card also comes with Hilton Gold Status, so you can enjoy free internet and breakfast on those free stays.
The card earns 10x points on Hilton stays, 5x on airlines and car rentals, and 3x on all other purchases.
There card has no foreign transaction fee. The annual fee is $95.
Application Link: Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card
9. Platinum Card from American Express Exclusively for Mercedes-Benz
The Platinum Card from American Express Exclusively for Mercedes-Benz comes with 50,000 Membership Rewards after spending $3,000 in the first three months.
The card has a $475 annual fee in the first year. But it comes with huge benefits like airline fee reimbursement, airport lounge access, and hotel status.
For more info on setting up and maximizing the benefits, see Get the Most Out of Your Platinum Card.
Landing Page: Platinum Card from American Express Exclusively for Mercedes-Benz
10. British Airways Card
The British Airways Visa Signature card comes with 50,000 bonus Avios after spending $2,000 in the first three months on the card.
The card comes with 2.5 Avios per dollar on British Airways purchases and 1.25 Avios per dollar on other purchases.
British Airways Avios are perfect for short, direct, economy flights on British Airways partners that do not levy fuel surcharges like these partners.
For instance, the west coast to Hawaii on American Airlines or Alaska Airlines flights for 12,500 Avios or only 4,500 Avios between New York and a dozen destinations are two of many sweet spots.
The card has a $95 annual fee that is not waived.

While third-party websites have made major incursions into the accommodation sector, Accor has recorded a 27.4% increase in revenue from direct channels in Australia over the past 12 months.
Utilising extensive marketing resources, online travel agencies (OTAs) have seen significant increases in business at the expense of most hotel groups in the past decade, but with Accor's investment in its loyalty programs (Accor Advantage Plus and Le Club Accorhotels), and online digital presence with its accorhotels.com website, the group has experienced double digit growth in direct revenues for the past three years.
Accorhotels.com is rated as the top website for hotel groups in Australia, according to latest Experian Hitwise data, with a 23% annual growth in website visits, and growth from mobile sources is leading the way with a 57% increase in bookings and 85% increase in revenue.
Accor Australia's Chief Operating Officer, Simon McGrath, said the company's loyalty programs are playing a key role in building direct sales, with Accor Advantage Plus offering a wider variety of "experience packages" to grow lengths of stay and provide exclusive opportunities.
"Online travel agencies have a strong presence in Australia and with their considerable marketing resources, their percentage of the overall market has grown substantially in the past decade, but it is very encouraging that the strength of the Accor brand name has helped the company grow its direct business at the same time," he said.
"This is important for our hotel owners and franchisees because it demonstrates that even with such tough competition, Accor can deliver above-market returns.
"We are not only growing our loyalty base, we are succeeding in getting them to book more frequently and often for longer periods because we are offering a wider range of product – from exclusive dining experiences with celebrity chefs such as Pullman's Justin North to package tours at Ayers Rock Resort, with special inclusions.
"While we work very closely with our online partners, we also believe it is essential for a hotel group such as Accor to be able to deal closely with our direct customers, and with enhancements to our loyalty and digital programs, the results are showing that we can grow in both areas – direct and indirect," McGrath said.
Accor's mobile applications and websites notched up over 10 million unique visitors last year, and expect the rate of growth to increase with the new version of accorhotels.com multi-brand application available for Android1, iPhone and Blackberry operating systems.
The accorhotels.com mobile website allows users to book stays at over 3,500 Accor hotels in over 90 countries.

To the Editor:
Re "State Underfinancing Damages City Schools, New York Court Finds" (front page, June 27):
The ruling by the Court of Appeals demolishes the argument made over the years by critics of public education that no connection exists between money and outcomes.
There's no guarantee, of course, that increased financing will result in better student performance, but without sweeping changes, education quality will continue to depend for the most part on where students live.
If that were not the case, why do parents with money send their children to expensive private schools, or move to the suburbs, where teachers are well paid, classes are small and equipment, books and supplies are plentiful? What the ruling did was to legally validate what educators and parents have pragmatically maintained for far too long.
