Cleaning Services for Residential Properties
Maintaining the cleanliness that we have in our home is important as we want to live in a place that is sanitary and would also have a pleasant appearance. There are a lot of chores that needs to be done in our home in order for us to have the proper condition or cleanliness in it and we should know that they are something that would require a lot of time to take care of. It can be quite hard for us to do all of the cleaning that we need especially when all of us that are living in our house would have a job on a daily basis. We would surely be tired in doing all of our work when we arrive home and it would be best if we could just rest and relax ourselves. In order for us to be able to get some time and relaxation for ourselves and still maintain the cleanliness of our home, we should know that we could get the services of a cleaning or a maid company. These businesses would be able to offer us with cleaning specialists that would do all of the cleaning that needs to be done in our home. We can get their services on a timely basis and we would also be able to deal with them by calling them on the day where we would need their services. We could get a regular service from these companies as we could have a schedule on when they would need to do some cleaning. We should know that dealing with these businesses would make things a lot easier for us as they can clean our home while we are away thus enabling us to have more time for ourselves or for us to spend with our family.
When getting the services of a cleaning company, we should see to it that we are dealing with a company that we can trust. Professional agencies or cleaning companies would be able to offer us with a lot of assurance that their service crew are properly trained and are also screened so that we can be sure that they can be trusted. We would be leaving our home to their hands while they are doing the cleaning and that is why we should see to it that our things would not get lost. There are cleaning companies that have online websites where we could get some information about them. We can get some insight on how well they offer their services or if they can be trusted through the reviews by their previous customers. The rate for their services are also something that we need to consider especially when we are going to get a regular service so that we can be sure that we are able to afford dealing with them for a long period of time. Having these types of services for our home would surely be able to offer us with a lot of benefits as they could take care of the things that we are not able to do ourselves.

The place now called San Carlos City was already a flourishing community since pre-colonial times. Previously called Binalatongan, the city was renamed by the Spaniards as San Carlos (in honor of their king, Charles) to erase the memory of the Palaris revolt. Binalatongan was the capital of Luyag na Caboloan, an ancient kingdom (now comprised by the provinces of Tarlac, Zambales, Nueva Ecija, La Union, Pangasinan, and Benguet) ruled by King Ari Kasikis. The name of Binalatongan was derived from the abundance of mongo (mung bean) plants along the San Juan riverbanks.
Caboloan is the name of the primitive Pangasinense dialect, of which its purest form was spoken by the natives of Binalatongan.
In 1718, Binalatongan was renamed (the Municipality [town] of) San Carlos. During the 1960s, the Municipality of San Carlos diversified into two precincts. In 1965, the smaller precinct became legally incorporated as the Municipality of Basista by virtue of RA 4866. In 1966, the larger precinct became legally incorporated as San Carlos City by virtue of Republic Act No. 4487.
San Carlos is the hometown of Speaker Eugenio Perez of which the town plaza and amphitheater and his street of residence were named after him.
Fr. Francisco dela Rama, an Augustinian friar founded the City in 1587, whose native practiced "animism." Spanish era accounts of a huge bell heard in the entire Kasikis Kingdom which got lost and believed to be guarded by mermaids. Virgen Milagrosa Educational Institution of San Carlos leaders, Dr. & Dr. Martin P. Posadas did search for the missing bell have launched a search of that missing bell in line with their giant project of resurrecting the ancient town whose land are included portions of Central and Northern Luzon.
The Carlenians were of Malayan origin, speaking Cabuloan, the original Pangasinan dialect. They ousted the Augustinian friars but the Dominicans defeated the native. Historical luminaries Andres Malong and Juan dela Cruz Palaris led revolts against Spain (the first Pangasinan Revolt, 1660, transferring the poblacion east of San Juan river on November 4, 1718, feast of St. Charles Borromeo, renamed San Carlos Binalatongan.
Juan dela Cruz Palaris (Pantaleon Perez, dubbed "Palaripar" or "Palasipas" was expert in the "eskrima de mano") fought against the Spanish authorities in 1762-64. He led a revolt which lasted for two years and spread practically throughout the whole province of Pangasinan. He established an independent government with its seat in Binalatongan comprising the towns of Basista, Urbiztondo, Mangatarem, Aguilar, the foothills of the Zambales Mountains, and the present city of San Carlos. Juan Caragay between 1718 and 1719 led the 3rd Revolt.

San Carlos City is among the liveliest places in the Province of Pangasinan in terms of economic activity. Called the "Mango-Bamboo Capital of the Philippines", San Carlos has the largest number of fruiting mango trees - their fruits are among the most delicious in the country - and a flourishing bamboocraft industry. An agro-industrial city, San Carlos also engages in livestock raising, crop production, inland fishing, pottery, food processing, tourism, and commerce. San Carlos is said to have an ideal investment potential because of its large land area, big population and strategic location, being in the center of Pangasinan.

Saint Dominic de Guzman Parish Church
The patron saint of the city is Saint Dominic de Guzman, founder of the Order of Preachers; he is credited for performing miracles in the city, among them the minimal damage to the city caused by the return of the Americans to the islands and aided by Filipino troops and local guerrillas during the close of World War II. The parish church built in his honor was once the biggest in Luzon. The parish of San Carlos is the oldest in Pangasinan.
The Saint Dominic de Guzman Parish Church (F-1587) is part of the Vicariate of St. Dominic, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan, with Catholic population of 114,392. The Patron Feast of St. Dominic Parish is August 8. The Team of Ministers are Rev. Msgr. Alberto T. Arenos, Rev. Fr. Alberto Taminaya, Fr. Reynaldo V. Romero, Rev. Fr. Winston A. Estrada, Rev. Fr. Winston A. Estrada and Rev. Fr. Jimmy F. Quinto, Jr.[9][10] Dominican missionaries who succeeded the oursted Augustinians, continued the evangelization of the natives, the founding of town and St. Dominic Church.
San Carlos, as Binalatogan became a vicariate in 1588 when its first pastor, Padre Bernardo Navarro de Santa Catalina, O.P. was appointed.
In 1588, Fr. Bernardo de Santa Catalina, OP, became the first Vicar (with Fr. Juan de Castro, OP, Fr. Marcos de San Antonio, and Bro. Juan Deza, OP, as his assistants) of Binalatongan, a vicariate of the Dominican Order in its First Provincial Chapter.
On August 4, 1718, Juan Caragay burned the modest church and convent. "Abagbagan" near the San Juan river became the new site of the Church. In 1763, however, Juan Palaris of Binalatongan destroyed the convent and the church of St. Dominic. The King of Spain, Charles III issued a Decree transferring the site to "Lucban."
Poblacion, the town's "cabecera," became close to the Church (which has small chapels, the "visitas" or missions attached therewith. Binalatongan or San Carlos became the "Mother-house of the Province," of Pangasinan.[4]
In 1770-1773, Padre Cristobal Ausina constructed the Church from ladrillo Ladrillo (massive brick, tiles of "apalit"). The present site is where Binalatogan was transferred (1754). The biggest Church in the Philippines those days, the 1789, 1796 and 1799 massive earthquakes destroyed the Church. Padre Alvarez Carrozal erected the Belfry and initiated the Church rehabilitation (1878–90). Rebuilt in 1803, it measured 89 yards long and 22 yards wide (August 8, 1989 NHI Marker, Archbishop Federico G. Limon and unveiled by Dona Conseelo S. Perez and Gov. Rafael M. Colet with Mayor Douglas D. Soriano).
St. Dominic Parish celebrated its 425th Jubilee of Father Celebration since the Dominican Missionaries arrived in Pangasinan on September 1587, and erected the Parish of St. Dominic Parish in San Carlos City (formerly Binalatongan, 425 years old - "Galang tan Dayew (ed Dios) ed Ando lan Ando" (Dn. 3:52), for the Golden (50th) Jubilee Celebration of Lingayen-Dagupan as an Archdiocese in 2013. The canonical Erection of the New Parish of St. Joseph husband of Mary and Foster Father of Jesus in Brgy. Malacañang, San Carlos City was held on 19 March 2012, with Socrates B. Villegas as main celebrant and blessed the St. Dominic Parish New Adoration Chapel.[11][12]
Farming, inland fishing, commerce and trade, small-scale manufacturing, handicraft, pottery, fruit-raising, flour-making, and mango production are the principal products of San Carlos.[13]
Interesting spots of the town are such as the 424-year old St. Dominic Church, the Speaker Eugenio Perez Memorial Park, the City Plaza, the Quadricentennial Arch in Bolingit; the Binalatongan Ruins in San Juan, the Philippine Fruit Corporation at Barangay Pagal and the Shopping Malls and Supermarkets and business establishments, with its "Las Bellas Carlenians."
Giant mango pie
On April 26, 2011, 86 barangays in San Carlos baked a 100-square-meter mango pie filling a gymnasium and set the Largest Mango Pie world record (400 sqm na mango pie, iniluto sa San Carlos City). Natives used 400 trays of mango pies (10 kilos each, P 400,000, in a 100-square-meter table and shared by more than 1,200). It highlights San Carlos City's Mango-Bamboo Festival 2011.[14][15][16][17]

Mens Exploratory Workshop: Anton Mirto's The Army - We Want You!
Exploratory Workshop
Sunday May 13th 2018: 6.30-8.45pm, Central London
Booking / Info: email Anton firstname.lastname@example.com
Artist Anton Mirto is looking for men with a background/interest in experimental movement to begin exploratory research sessions for a 3rd new version of an ongoing empowering work/practice called: The Army
"to stand on my feet, to challenge my behaviour, to breathe, to hurt, to fight, to be for or against an idea, to be stronger than I think I am."
Conceived as a desire to stand up, stay awake and survive, The Army is a call to be brave in an age that promotes fear, informed by those taking part and the context it is presented in each time. It sees people march against apathy, for healing, purpose and power through choreographic 'marching drills' and breath.
The Army's 1st version (2016-17) saw a year of 8min guerrilla performances where women marched, impromptu in 24 secret outdoor locations. Commissioned by Yard theatre with support from Arts Council England, The Army's 2nd 'staged' version can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/261391243
Through movement improvisations, impulse discussion and play this is an opportunity for Men to explore/challenge/embody some fears, to practice individual and collective fearlessness, resilience, presence and strength.
Intrinsically process led, Mirto's practice provides space and value to acts that release and restore. As Artistic Director of A2company she has presented performance works at: The Place, Royal Opera House, Tate Modern, ICA, as well as in France, Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Germany, Israel & Austria. As an independent artist, she has shown in Cape Town, for Infecting the City Festival. In London at: Trip Space / Limen, part of Hayward Gallery's 'Mirror City' & Lillian Bayliss. See past works here: https://vimeo.com/a2company/
Booking / Info: email Anton email@example.com
From the archive: read the Run Riot interview with Anton Mirto (Jan 2018).

Internet mogul, founder of MegaUpload and the Internet Party, Kim Dotcom has a message for Americans… Julian Assange will be "Hillary's Worst Nightmare" in 2016. Why, you ask? Because Julian Assange (erstwhile founder of WikiLeaks) has access to information.
Assange became famous as the founder of WikiLeaks, the website that released thousands of classified government secrets onto the Internet. He now lives in hiding the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, afraid to come out because British police want him arrested (as do law enforcement agencies in many other nations). Many (like Kim Dotcom himself) view Assange as a hero because he uncovered the fact that several world governments were breaking their own laws… but in doing so he made himself a target of those nations and an international pariah.
This interview with Kim Dotcom raises many questions… in particular, what might Julian Assange know that could destroy Hillary's 2016 candidacy?
Trending: Every Natural Right Protected in the Bill of Rights Is a Property Right? Here's Why
Kim Dotcom: So what [Wikileaks founder] Julian Assange is doing is a spotlight on all these secrets…
I like these guys. I look up to them. I think they are very brave. And they are going through a very hard time, and they chose to do that for the betterment of all of us…
I think there is a big group of people out there who disagree about what is going on. They want to have their privacy back, they want to have internet freedom.
Question: You tweeted that you were going to be "Hillary's worst nightmare" in 2016, how so?
Kim Dotcom: Well, I have to say it is probably more Julian. But I'm aware of some of the things that are going to be roadblocks for her. So, I can provide some transparency with these people and make them part of what the Internet Party stands for, then I will be happy to do that.
Question: You're saying Julian Assange will be Hillary's worst nightmare in 2016?
Kim Dotcom: I think so, yeah. Well, he has access to information.
Qustion: Why Hillary in particular?
Kim Dotcom: Hillary hates Julian, she is just an adversary of internet freedom.

Chilkat does not have anything pre-packaged for FireMonkey. Customers in the past have used Chilkat in C++ Builder with FireMonkey. I'll share that information below. But first I'll describe at a higher-level needs to be considered:
In C++ Builder, these Delphi --> C++ issues don't exist, and therefore it's easier, as this note describes:
Using Chilkat in C++ Builder for FireMonkey
Here is a customer note with success in getting this to work:
Well I have some good news you might like to hear. I was able to successfully call your Chilkat API's in a hybrid Win32/Android app from C++ with the same code. (I just have to add some conditional compilations to do things like storing things in different places in the file system depending on whether the app's running on Windows or Android.)
So what I did was take your Chilkat .a libraries, all four platform directories from the root of that folder, and added them to the FireMonkey Mobile App that I had made, and then also took your C++ Builder .lib libraries, and added them to the project as well. I added your C++ Builder library include and .lib files to the include and library paths (though for some reason I always seem to have to manually add the .lib—and .a—files to the project—are you aware of a way around this perhaps, by the way?) for C++ 32 bit build settings. (Similar process for 64-bit of course.)
Then I went into the Android build settings, and made sure I had your C/C++ Android library C/C++ header files in the Android build's include path, and the four platform .a library files in the library path.
And voila! The same C++ code, getting deployed to both Android and Win32. I might like to add MacOS and iOS as deployment platforms later, and I noticed you have some perhaps relevant library files for those as well.
Curious, I just read up on the Android NDK. Did you perhaps use the Android NDK to code and produce your core library functions as native Android library files using the Android API, and then JNI to make C/C++ header and wrapper functions? I've done some things with JNI in the past. (I've also used MS C++ Interop to wrap C++ unmanaged code with C# managed assemblies.. I remember that being a bit more hairy than JNI, especially when figuring out how to marshall some parameter types back and forth.) I'm thinking of, with JNI's bi-directional capabilities, the possibility of wrapping up some other third party components we have that only come with Win32 and Win64 .lib and .a files, but in the other direction perhaps, so as to be able to access the C/C++ libraries from (in the case of FireMonkey apps) wrapped up back into C++ FireMonkey type wrappers, which would be a wrapper for the Java wrappers of the C++ libraries. LOL, that can get a little convoluted.
Anyway, thanks for your tips. Glad I could help you out with a tip too.. now you can re-brand your libraries for use with FireMonkey applications, no?

Greece is planning to transfers 6,000 refugees from the island camps to the mainland by the end of this year, the country's migration minister said Thursday.
"We plan to transfer 6,000 unprotected asylum-seekers and refugees to the mainland until the end of this year," Dimitris Vitsas told reporters at the capital Athens.
So far in 2018, he said, over 23,000 refugees have been transferred to the mainland due to overcrowding and poor living conditions in the island camps.
Vitsas said that around 28,000 irregular migrants crossed to Greece via the Aegean Sea this year. Read more>>>

Want More Traffic From Twitter? Join The Retweet Club
The Retweet Club is a group I launched in 2009. It's free to join and works like a mailing list, where members both send and receive messages from the club via email. The purpose is simple: to help the members get more retweets and thus more traffic and exposure from Twitter.
How It Works
Not clear yet? Here is how it works in practice. Once you get invited and join the club you'll start receiving "retweet requests" from other members. They look like this:
Hi guys. Here is my latest post, and I think you'll like it. A retweet is appreciated. Below is the text.
RT @johndoe Top 10 Tools To Manage Your Identity Online http://bit.ly/fj235j3
You then would copy and paste the text in your favorite Twitter client and retweet. Obviously you are not obliged to retweet every single request, as some of them might not be related to your niche. That being said you do need to retweet as many requests as possible, else you risk getting sacked from the club.
After that you'll also be able to send your own requests, getting more retweets and traffic to your blog posts.
Each member can send only one request per week, to ensure that the volume of emails will be moderate (I get 3-4 per day) and that members will only send requests for their best content.
How To Join
As I mentioned before the club is completely free to join, but you do need to have at least 1,000 followers your Twitter account. If you do, just send an email to danielATdailyblogtips.com from the account you want to use for the club (you have have an active Google account on that address, because we are using Google Groups for the mailing list) and I'll send you the invite.
See you inside!

Unfortunately this club is not usefull for non-English languaes blogs, it is too sad to me.
Web Marketing Tips
you kept everything perfectly so that you can avoid the spam problem and mis use as well.
This one is showing you this internet market very well.
Eric C
Two questions:
1. I blog in the Foreign Affairs, Mil, Art niche. Would it make any sense to join this RT club?
2. I recently purged a lot of people I followed because I didn't feel the relationship was authentic. Do you consider this when creating the RT club? I feel like instead of a number of followers, it should be a followers/followed ratio.
Daniel Scocco
1. Probably not.
2. The problem with followers/followed ratio is a guy with 1 follower/1 followed would be as good as one with 10,000/10,000.
Eric C
@ 2. That's exactly what I was thinking of. I know lots of people with 10,000+ followers who I doubt have more than ten or actual relationships on Twitter.
It also shows that, for real success on Twitter, you have to be a broadcaster, this takes time and influence.

wish i could join it, i don't have too huge followers 🙁
Michael (MKR)
Still haven't quite perfected my mind control device, so I can't join. 🙁
Gal @ Equally Happy
Well, I was all excited but then I saw your 1000 follower minimum. Oh well, I guess it makes sense and I'll just have to get more followers. 🙂
As a member of Retweet Club, I have to say that it is a great group.
Dean Saliba
It's a shame you only allow people with a Google email address to join, it sounds like a very good club to be part of. 🙂
I know I could just sign up for a Google email account but I'm weird. I've had my one and only email address forever. 🙂
Kamal Hasa
Create a gmail id it's free anyways!
You need not sign up for a Gmail account. To get a Google account, you can even use your yahoo mail ID or any other email id for that matter.
Just sign up for Google account using your existing email ID.

Over 6% saving
Trucks simply guzzle fuel because of their non-efficient aerodynamics.
Ephicas creates innovative solutions for trailers, which contribute to fuel savings and a better environment. The operational tests showed 1.65 litre of fuel was saved per 100 km, on a routing over the highway.
Furthermore, the operational functionality of the EcoTail was tested.
The EcoTail did not pose the driver any problems nor caused it any delay while docking, loading or delivering. A simple adjustment to the door hinges prevents that the doors, which become slightly heavier, suddenly open quite abruptly.
Irma Blanke, Director Operations & Services TNT Express Benelux:
"Savings on the fuel cost is an interesting business case, but also helps us to reach our goal of decreasing the CO2 emissions of our operations."
Not yet on the road
Ephicas had to request permission from the `Dienst Wegverkeer´ (RDW) to be able to run the TNT Express pilot, since in The Netherlands the maximum length of a truck is legally regulated. A truck with trailer can be no longer than 16.5 m, for instance. The EcoTail however sticks out almost 1.5 m and surpasses the maximum length. After safety tests proved that road users were not in danger, the RDW allowed a temporary exemption, also since these tests comply with the Transport White Paper targets to reduce CO2 emissions by 60%. Gandert Van Raemdonck of Ephicas explains about the EcoTail use on the road: "We are very happy with the tests and the collaboration with the RDW and TNT Express. During the operational tests, the driver was not hindered at all, nor delayed because of the EcoTail. The results prove that a simple innovation can significantly reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions."
The next step will be to extend the Ecotail test to multiple vehicles, with domestic and international destinations. Ephicas, together with partner PART (Platform for Aerodynamic Road Transport), is also in talks with policy makers in Brussels to adjust regulations regarding maximum vehicle length towards the use of aerodynamic tools.

Deus Ex: The Other Prequel
Update: new video!
Adam Jensen's story (which he never asked for) may be the canon prequel to the cyberpunk conspiracy theorising of the original Deus Ex, but the future-world's a big place – there's plenty of room to tell new tales from the time before JC Denton trotted across the globe. 2027 is a massively ambitious, Russian-made mega-mod for Deus Ex 1, the English version of which launched last week. It offers a new, apparently highly non-linear story, levels based on real-world locations, amped-up DirectX 9 graphics with stuff like weather effects added and a slew of new abilities, weapons and spider-bots. Also, new fonts. I do so like a font. Haven't had a chance to give it a spin yet, but the below in-game footage certainly speaks for the visual upgrade.
There's a higher quality version of the below available here, if you're squinting, and the download itself – a relatively modest 290MB – awaits you here.
Oh, and the creator tells me that "Both Project 2027 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution are set in year 2027. But Project 2027 was in the development long before Human Revolution was ever announced," which is quite the coincidence.
Anyone been playing this? What do you make of it?

laois slump in second-half
After leading on three occasions in the first-half and getting to the break level against the reigning Ulster champions, Laois ultimately left Clones empty handed and staring squarely down the barrel of relegation.
In the first-half they defended very well and dealt comfortably with Monaghan's attacking threat. Despite defending deep and getting players behind the ball, Laois also caused their hosts plenty of problems on the break with Darren Strong particularly effective storming forward from wing-back. They went to the break level but could easily have been ahead had Padraig McMahon converted a guilt edged chance just before half-time.
However, in an almost carbon copy of the Meath game, when their opponents clearly upped the tempo. There was no lack of effort and no one area where you could say Laois were deficient, but they just couldn't seem to match Monaghan's increased pace and intensity after the restart. The introduction of Stephen Gollogly added a new attacking impetus to the Monaghan attack and they eased away as the half progressed.
Laois never dropped their work-rate and that work ethic allowed them to hang on to Monaghan's coat-tails but they never really looked like getting anything out of the game,
The forwards struggled to make an impact with the starting six contributing just three points from play with two coming from David Conway. In the system Laois play, they are expected to contribute defensively but even allowing for that, it was not their best day at the office with the Monaghan full-back line in particular having a comparatively easy ride.
Laois looked most dangerous when they attacked at pace and in numbers from deep, but as the game progressed, those incisive moves became more infrequent with Monaghan applying pressure higher up the pitch and turning ball over in the Laois half.
The Laois full-back line put in a noteworthy shift with Graham Brody not having a meaningful save to make all day but the Monaghan full-forward line dropped further out the field and were able to pick off points at their ease from distance with Kieran Hughes and Conor McManus accounting for nine points between them.
Laois now go into their final game against Down needing at very least a draw, but more than likely a win to maintain their status in Division 2. Even a win however might not be enough as they are also dependent on results elsewhere.
Without any of their U-21s who face Cavan in the Ulster Final this week, Monaghan were quickly out of the blocks and were 0-4 to 0-1 ahead after 11 minutes with Laois' score coming after six minutes from a Ross Munnelly free.
Two excellent points from Darren Strong got Laois back within one and after Monaghan extended their lead to two through Conor McManus, Strong was in action at the other end making a timely tackle on Jack McCarron as the Monaghan looked set to score.
After seeing off Monaghan's early onslaught, Laois got a foothold in the game and by filling their half-back line, they thwarted numerous attacks keeping their opponents scoreless for 11 minutes. In that period, Laois kept the scoreboard ticking over as they broke forward in numbers with Conor Meredith, David Conway and a Donie Kingston free putting them in front for the first time after 24 minutes.
A point apiece from McManus and Conway left one between the sides before Laois spurned the best goal chance of the game. Another fast break opened up the Monghan defence and an astute ball from Ross Munnelly put Padraig McMahon clean through on goal. Despite having Darren Strong unmarked with an open goal beside him, McMahon chose to shoot as Rory Beggan came out to narrow the angle but his effort flashed wide of the post.
Before half-time Monaghan added points from Kieran Hughes and Dick Clerkin with John O'Loughlin adding one to Laois' total to leave the sides level at 0-8 apiece at the break.
That left Laois in a good position but the second-half was dominated for large periods by Monaghan who upped their intensity to a level Laois struggled to match. They had three points and four wides on the board before Laois had a meaningful effort but they hit two in a minute around the 50 minute mark from Ross Munnelly and Billy Sheehan to keep themselves in contention.
Monaghan responded emphatically hitting five of the next six points with Laois' only score in this period coming from Darren Strong. Entering the final three minutes the game seemed to be wrapped up with Monaghan still five to the good but Damien O'Connor and the outstanding Strong added points to leave just three in it entering injury-time.
However and hopes Laois harboured of snatching a draw were soon dashed as Conor McManus and Martin McElroy slotted over points to wrap up the win for the home side and leave Laois teetering on the brink of relegation.
Scorers: Monaghan: Conor McManus 0-6 (0-3f); Kieran Hughes 0-4; Stephen Gollogly 0-2; Dessie Mone 0-2; Gavin Doogan 0-1; Dick Clerkin 0-1; Fintan Kelly 0-1; Paul Finlay 0-1; Martin McElroy 0-1 Laois: Darren Strong 0-4; Ross Munnelly 0-2f; David Conway 0-2; Conor Meredith 0-1; Donie Kingston 0-1f; John O'Loughlin 0-1; Billy Sheehan 0-1; Gary Walsh 0-1f; Damien O'Connor 0-1

This blog is about getting you the higher marks you deserve. We all work hard, we all spend time studying, we all deserve to get great results. Sometimes it seems like no matter how hard you try, you still don't get great marks. It seems like others are just naturally smarter. It seems like getting average marks is realistic.If you are thinking like this, then this blog is for you. I also thought like that once, as I kept getting average marks and could not understand why. But somehow I managed to crack the code when it really mattered and in year 11 and 12 did so well that I got over 99 in the HSC (end of high school exams). I went from being an average student in my school to being in the top 10% of my school and the top 1% of the state.
You can do it too, and I'm going to show you how.
I know you can do it, because you are here reading this blog. You are spending the time to learn how to do it. It means that you are willing to put the time and effort into it, and if you do that, you will get spectacular results. This is something I guarantee you.
If I may, I'd like to share a few stories with you, in addition to my own.
When I was at university, I saw a guy from my high school named Brad enrolled in a course requiring an entry mark of 96. Brad always used to come last and spent most of his time drinking and smoking at school. I thought he had come on campus to buy a bong or something.
I asked him straight out"Brad, what are you doing here?" He said "No, I'm enrolled in this course". I said "Are you full fee paying?". He said "No".
I then asked him how he got in. He laughed and told me his extraordinary story.
He told me that in the 10 weeks prior to the HSC he had cut out drinking alcohol (underage issues aside) and just focused exclusively on study. He believed he could improve his marks. Somehow he did. His HSC marks were so high, and his school marks so low, that he ended up getting 96.I'm sure there is a bit of exaggeration in the story, but what I do know is his marks were ridiculously low for at least a large part of year 12 and he did manage to get 96. These are all facts.
There was another guy at school who was also known for getting really low marks who really pulled up his socks in year 11 and 12 and ended up getting 98.
I know he was not very good at school because he was in the bottom maths class through to year 10. I know this as I personally saw this happen.
I didn't think he would amount to much to be honest, he was just not that clever.
However, he was committed to getting a higher mark. When he succeeded, I asked him how he did it.
He told me that he had got himself a tutor and went through the entire course of all of the subjects. He told me that when he was doing maths, they discovered he had tremendous gaps in his knowledge, due to years of fooling around. He had to simply fill in all of these gaps, he worked at it and he did it.
The point of these stories is to tell you that it doesn't matter what marks you are getting today. You can get better marks tomorrow, in fact, I guarantee that you will if you follow this method.
I followed this method myself, so did all the other people I know who got over 99. I'll be putting the method up in a series of posts and youtube videos.

The last few days we have been camping in Devon, hence the silence from myself on social media. I get ordinary phone signal, but 3G has gone on holiday round these parts.
We are staying on the River Dart country park. It is nice, we are pitched under the overhang of a sycamore tree, all around us is more family tents.
Behind our tent is a forest, a real forest. Hundreds of trees, some I can't even name. In the woods there are owls, some kind of hawk (I suspect Kite), bats, and I'm sure lots of things we've not yet seen. We've seen homes and holes belonging to foxes, bunnies and moles. It's wild, but fenced in – just stay on a path and you end up at a massive wooden adventure playground, with a river running through it.
This river has been split in to two, one half fills a false beach, sand and shallow water, with a marvelous wooden pirate ship that children were swimming to and guarding it with water pistols. No grown ups allowed it seems.
A little walk after this you come to another play area, but slightly more grown up. It's a "high ropes" walkway built in to some beautiful and high pines. It looks pretty difficult! I've not tried yet, and with my phobia of heights I'm unsure I'd be able.
Instead the boys went zorbing again, then we went canoeing. D and I had some great teamwork driving going on. Jen was being a hinderence, shoving his oar in at silly angles at bad times. After dropping it in to the river, then nearly giving D and me forced baths by leaning over for it, I decided to nick it. From then on Jen was just a passenger, and all three of us were happy. Poor Blokey had to sit this one out, but I don't think he minded as it looked although he had a cheeky nap on the river bank.
Right now, family BBQ time. Not a sunny evening, but it isn't raining so who cares. After tea we are going to waddle up the hill towards the posh old country house. Blokey and myself are going to sit in the pub, he fancies a pint, I want the WiFi, and the boys will be in the playground opposite the pub. And relax.
Last night I was outside star gazing very late with D, my science loving smartiepants. I had read there was a meteor shower due, thanks twitter, and we were outside at about 10pm with my telescope. Shortly after this D noticed a shooting star, I hadn't informed him upfront about the shooting stars and meteors incase it wasn't accurate twitter news.
Twenty eight shooting stars, or meteors later we gave up and went to bed, at 1am. Oops! It was special though, at home in Gloucester there is always such a nasty orange glow from the cities street lights that we can barely see anything but the brightest stars. For the first time ever he saw Orion and the belt. He was happy as a pig in poop at that. But better was still to come, the later it got the darker it got and more stars became visible. We saw a galaxy! A long blurry glow of millions of stars – like a smudge of toothpaste on a bathroom mirror.
It was something neither of us had ever seen. And it was beautiful. Then as we were transfixed on this smudge on the deep navy blue canvas that was the sky, we started seeing more than normal shooting stars, we watched as the meteors actually burnt up at the edge of our atmosphere and the smoke trails, then these glowing, scorching balls of rock, dead stars, planets, who knows what, just disappearing in smoke.
And again something neither of us had witnessed before. A perfect mum and son moment, despite it being so late. There we were both lying down on grass, in pitch darkness, both having a fear of the dark, yet for a little while we were both so hooked by the celestial display we almost forgot where we were.
Sadly our camera phones could not capture it. So I'll leave you with a photo of the moon "setting" behind the hills before it rained stars.
Dear Devon, thanks!

High Court appeal upheld as FSO erred in home insurance policy case
AUTHOR(S): April McClements
PRACTICE AREA GROUP: Insurance and Reinsurance
In the recent case of Earls v Financial Services Ombudsman, the High Court considered whether the Financial Services Ombudsman (FSO) had erred in law in determining that an insurer was entitled to avoid a home insurance policy for material non-disclosure.
In March 2008 a taxi was stolen in Limerick City. It was driven into St Mary's Park and a machine gun used to fire bullets indiscriminately from the car. Although the complainant's house was not the target of the shooting, it was struck by the bullets. The complainant was on holiday at the time of the incident and made a preliminary call to AXA, her home insurer at the time. On her return, she discovered that the damage to her property was minimal and did not proceed to make a claim.
In November 2010 the complainant switched her home insurance to FBD. When asked on the FBD website "how many accidents or claims have you had in the past five years?", the complainant's partner entered zero. The policy documentation arrived a couple of days later, which the complainant signed and returned to FBD.
In August 2013, almost three years later, the complainant's house was set on fire while she was away. In October 2013 FBD avoided the policy on the basis that the complainant had failed to disclose a previous claim with AXA in respect of damage caused to her property by gunfire in March 2008. However, the complainant complained to the FSO and in August 2014 the deputy FSO concluded that the shooting incident was a material fact which ought to have been disclosed to FBD at the time of proposing cover in November 2010. The complaint was not upheld.
Judge Barrett posed the question:
"if a couple of random bullets grazed my property and the damage is so utterly trivial that I never make an insurance claim, and the event is so haphazard that I put it from my mind, is that a fact that my new home insurer can rely upon lawfully to disallow my home insurance policy when my house is years later destroyed by fire?"
However, Barrett also noted that this question was not to be determined by the court; rather, the question to be determined was whether the FSO had erred in law.
In considering whether the FSO had erred in its finding, the court examined previous case law on the duty of disclosure and in particular the cases of Chariot Inns Limited v Assicurazion Generali, Aro Road and Land Vehicles Limited v The Insurance Corporation of Ireland and Kelleher v Irish Life Assurance Company Limited. The court also noted that the case concerned a consumer contract and thus all comments and findings of the court were made exclusively in that context.
The court summarised the principles arising from Chariot Inns, Aro Road and Kelleher as follows:
- Utmost good faith:
- A contract of insurance is a contract of the utmost good faith on both sides (Aro Road).
- Disclosure of material matters:
- Answering questions correctly is not the sole duty of the insured. The insured must disclose all matters which might reasonably be thought to be material risks against which indemnity is sought (Chariot, Aro Road).
- The duty involves exercising a general effort to achieve accuracy using all reasonable sources available (to require disclosure of all material facts may require an impossible level of performance (Aro Road).
- The form of questions asked in a proposal form may make the applicant's duty to disclose stricter than general duty. However, it is more likely that the questions will limit the duty of disclosure. The litmus test is whether a reasonable person reading the proposal form would conclude that information over and above that which is an issue is required (Kelleher).
- Test of materiality:
- Materiality fails to be gauged by reference to the hypothetical prudent insurer (Chariot).
- In the absence of a question directed towards the disclosure of a particular fact, the arbiter must consider what a reasonable insured would think relevant – relevance in this context is not determined by reference to an insurer alone (Aro Road).
- Over-the-counter insurance:
- In case of over-the-counter insurance of the type identified in Aro Road, the insurer is not entitled in the absence of fraud to repudiate on grounds of non-disclosure (Aro Road).
- Determiner of materiality:
- The sole and final determiner of materiality is the arbiter, not the insurer (Chariot, Aro).
The court concluded that the deputy FSO had erred in law on at least five grounds:
- It was unclear to the court that due regard was given to the fact that a contract of insurance is a contract of the utmost good faith on both sides. No regard appears to have been given to the issue of whether, based on the facts, FBD had manifested the utmost good faith. In this respect, the court suggested that the FSO may wish to consider the possibility that a reasonably assertive claims policy may have strayed across into an unreasonably avaricious claims policy which sought to dislodge a genuine claim on specious grounds under the ostensibly legitimising umbrella of utmost good faith.
- It appeared to the court that the deputy FSO had proceeded on the basis that if a material fact is not disclosed then, by the very fact itself, the duty of disclosure has been breached. The deputy FSO had no regard to the fact that the duty of an insured is to exercise a genuine effort to achieve accuracy using all reasonably available sources (Aro Road).
- It was not apparent to the court that the deputy FSO had considered the possibility that the form of questions asked in a proposal form may (Kelleher style) limit the duty of disclosure arising, even though it appeared from the pleadings that the form of questions had been raised as an issue.
- It was not apparent that the deputy FSO had regard to the fact that in the absence of a question directed towards a disclosure of a particular fact, the arbiter must consider what a reasonable insured would think relevant (Aro Road). Relevance in this context is not determined by reference to an insurer alone. The court suggested that the FSO may wish to have regard to the issue of whether in the apparent absence of any question of whether a particular property has been subject of criminality, a general reliance on any other material facts satisfies the particularity that the court saw as expressly requiring the disclosure of a certain fact.
- There was no acknowledgment in the deputy FSO's decision as to whether she was dealing with over-the-counter style insurance and the consequences of this.
The appeal was upheld and the complaint remitted to the FSO.

Kiwi - Deb
I have figured out how to leave a sticky post, at the top, and these are for my videos, so that they can have a few more days of exposure, as I spend hours editing and uploading them.
Transplanted Kiwi Adventure Deb:
It seems like EONs ago (back in January) that we had our Vancouver Motorcycle Show and it was my pleasure to meet Kiwi - Deb . She had travelled from Victoria for the day with Dar and a few other friends to scout out motorcycle accessories, jackets, gloves and most importantly sit on a few bikes, as she is contemplating moving up to a larger machine . I don't know why the manufacturers produce bikes so high off the ground. I mean if you are height challenged you don't have much to choose from. And so it was with disappointment that Deb tried so many bikes and hardly any made the "cut".
Deb really liked this Ducati Monster, and guess what ? It had been factory lowered, and it fit. I mean it physically fit but the price tag didn't
She got to pose for us papparazzis. I told her that I would snap a photo for her but it slipped my mind . . . until now
better late than never I always say
7 comments:
Thanks for the photos Bobskoot. I love love love the Ducati! Its my dream bike and maybe one day I will win the lottery and get one just like my dad. :) It was great meeting you at the motorcycle show and maybe this summer we can all get together for a ride. Stay safe out there.ReplyDelete
A star is born!!! It was a hoot going to the motorcycle show. Deb & I are both vertically challenged and Bob you are right, there is very little out there for us who have a big attitude, but short in height. Loved the Monster too, it was a nice bike is in my top 3. Deb and I both loved the Gladius as well. My current love Scarlet is fitting the bill, but a girl can always dream for a Triumph Bonneville SE.ReplyDelete
We should plan a get together and good ride. Hmmm Scooter rally time is coming, maybe we should just meet up and skip the rally and go riding.
Great pictures Bob. I am glad Kiwi Deb liked the Monster. When I sat on one in Seattle year before last it was the most comfortable out of all of them. It has quite a bit more forward lean that the Gladius though.ReplyDelete
Check out cycle-ergo.com and play with the different bikes. You can change your inseam height to your own and it is cool to see the ergonomic differences in knee angle and forward lean that you don't realize when sitting on a bike.
It is always fun hanging out with you at the shows. It is the highlight of our year.

Riding on piers and boardwalks can be pretty hectic with the number of people walking and riding bikes.ReplyDelete

Great feature on Kiwi Deb and her search for the perfect ride.ReplyDelete
It was great to meet you too. I know we will be riding together soon, most likely May during the rally in Victoria. Maybe you will have your bike by then
As for the rally, I don't go to many of the events, but I like to attend the dinner (Ross Bay Pub) on Sat night, and then the breakfast at Paggliacci's on Sunday. Other than that, we can be on our own. I also want you to meet Carol & Andrew (and their group)
I never thought of myself as the "highlight" of the year. Now I'm getting a swollen head. Can't wait for summer to arrive. Need to know more about your multi-day trips
unfortunately we don't ride on piers or boardwalks. we don't even ride on sidewalks, so perhaps we don't need your lights. I can't imagine people would be so irresponsible.
VS Lady:
It's always nice to meet other bloggers. we have so much in common. It's also nice to have most of the bikes in one place so we can try them out
The Toyota Previa's spaceship-like interior is roomy and comfortable. Fit and finish is very good. Driver's place is comfortable; great visibility. The third-row bench seat splits in half and folds up easily against the sidewalls making a lot of space for cargo.ReplyDelete

The center of gravity has been shifting from Middle East to Afghanistan-Pakistan. But they never realized that they have to shift so soon to the Indus Valley Civilization also known as Taliban Civilization. Scientist and security expert has been wondering for the recent increase in the terrorist activity around the world but couldn't find the answer till now. But that is going to change.
Recently some Taliban scholars who were given an opportunity to find out their source of inspiration for terror activity discovered that their method of terror activity where prescribed in ancient tablet of 4500 BC. Elaborate symbols were drawn and all the existing knowledge at that time was preserved so that the knowledge could be passed on the new generation.
The sudden increase in the terror activities around the globe and particularly in Pakistan testify that the code has been discovered and deciphered. The Taliban are so delighted with this discovery that they have increased their terror activity to show the world that this is real deal and just not a fake event.
The US government which funded this excavation trip are now crushing themselves for funding this project. In the late 1980's when the Russian were trying to bury the site so that they can never unearth these secret code, the Charlie Wilson, the hero of this project made it a personal goal to help the Taliban to uncover these secret code and thus defeat the Russian.
But US never released that the terror project, they were funding one day would come to their own door-step and would harm them. Anyway, the US government has awakened and they are taking care that the recent finding of codes are not passed on to the people in large.
The discovery of ancient objects belonging to the Taliban has split the scholarly community, with some claiming the symbols form a primitive language of terror and torture and others arguing they are simply pictograms of torture manual long been used in secret prison around the world.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness and it has to come from within. Gandhiji rightly believed that emancipation was possible only through cleanliness. An unclean and insanitary situation only spells disorder and turbulence. On the contrary if we have a clean and sanitised surrounding, half the battle is won.
Mahatma Gandhi's 'Swachchata Mission' is no longer a distant dream to fulfil. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the programme of 'Swachh Bharat Abhijaan' and so with the birth centenary of Mahatma Gandhi it saw numerous drives. One such drive worth mentioning is the NDTV 24 x7 Cleanathon report.
Hiranandani Foundation School had the honour of contributing their bit towards this great cause. What made it more fascinating was when NDTV 24x7 live captured two of our erstwhile students questioned Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.
Q. Can technology and clean environment co-exist?
According to Mr. Bachchan technology and environment can co-exist. He said,"There are traffic conditions that tell us how long it will take to reach a particular destination. But, can there be an app so that there is provision where the GPS can tell us where the next toilet is located? In big cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore it has been noticed that once you are caught in a traffic jam, there is really no option of coming out of the situation and elderly people might need to go to the toilet urgently. However, if there was a scientific system to help in locating the nearby toilets, it would be beneficial for the common people."
Q. What conscious effort are you taking to reduce your carbon footprint?
As quoted by Mr. Bachchan, "If you were to come to my place, you will find that each one of us is very conscious of the fact that we do not want to litter our compound. I have introduced the idea of 'mere dus guz'__ if you clean up just ten yards around the area where you stay, you can clean up the entire region you live in and I will definitely try to propagate that." What an impactful replythat students will remember all their life.
Later a mime was presented portraying 'trees to be protected'followed by a pledge. The school now takes this decision seriously and a massive drive of keeping the surroundings clean has become the sole aim of all students. Perhaps a few years from now we shall get to see clean Mumbai, clean India.

Senior malnutrition is a frighteningly widespread health issue, but some scientists are harnessing the power of technology to help seniors get the nutrition they need.
While obesity is indeed a worsening problem among older adults, senior malnutrition may not be getting the attention it deserves—even though 1-in-4 older Americans suffer from poor nutrition. In part this is because nutrition problems in seniors can be difficult to detect; sometimes such problems aren't straightforward, such as hunger, but rather issues with vitamin or nutrient deficiencies, which may manifest in more subtle ways that just a tightening of the belt. That's why researchers are harnessing the power of touchscreen technology to track older adults' health and nutrition habits.
It isn't always easy to accurately assess how many nutrients older adults are actually consuming. According to a recent study from the University of Sheffield in England, "Reports suggest that more than 50 per cent of hospital patients do not eat the full meal provided and up to 30 per cent of residents in nursing homes may not finish their lunch." And it's even more difficult to track what seniors are eating if they live independently or at home with their families.
Talk with a Senior Living Advisor
Our advisors help 300,000 families each year find the right senior care for their loved ones.
Enter the nutrition app, not to mention a range of other health technologies that are proliferating among computer and mobile device users—and despite the stereotypes, seniors are increasingly among the tech-savvy. Dr. David Lindeman, Director of the Center for Technology and Aging, noted in a presentation that 14% of apps released this past year were focused on nutrition. Tools like nutrition apps and calorie counters, which can help track what we eat down to the individual nutrient, promise to be a critical part of our arsenal in the fight against senior malnutrition.
One of the systems on the cutting edge of senior nutrition technology is NANA, or Novel Assessment of Nutrition and Ageing. Developed collaboratively among researchers at a number of UK universities, the NANA system is designed to look holistically at nutrition and health by taking measures of diet, mood, cognition and physical function. It does all this using technology most people already use every single day: touchscreens and webcams.
Because seniors are particularly at risk for malnutrition, the researchers designed NANA to be simple for older adults to use. An article in Gizmag describes how the system works: "Users select food items from a visual interface on the computer, recording everything they eat, including snacks. They then take before and after pictures of their meals using a webcam. The information is then sent off to a nutritionist who can ascertain a person's dietary intake."
According to the project lead, Dr. Arlene Astell, Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of St. Andrews, "Being able to eat and drink properly is vital for keeping well and living a good life. We have worked with older adults to make NANA something that people would want to have in their homes and use every day." The researchers hope NANA will make it easier for caregivers to monitor seniors' food intake, as well as drastically reducing the incidence of malnutrition.
If you've had trouble ensuring your senior loved ones are getting enough nutrients, do you think a system like NANA could help? Have you used any apps or software to help track senior nutrition? Let us know in the comments.

text: Paris. Marseille. 20 March 2012 – As part of the ELFE study (Etude Longitudinale Française depuis l'Enfance - French longitudinal study of children), launched in April 2011, hundreds of thousands of biological samples have been collected from thousands of mothers and babies throughout France. The first collection of samples in this cohort began on June 2011 in 50 maternities participating in the project and 220,925 tubes of biological samples were collected. Management of such a huge quantity of biological samples, in 15 centers located hroughout the French metropolitan area, is a tremendous challenge that required the implementation of robust software for project processing and operation

Peruse 1.2 "The Winter Wonderland Release"
|My sister, with a cup of gløgg and some
æbleskiver, reading Wasteland Mutants in Peruse.
Why is it the final release, you say? Well, easy - there will be a 2.x series, which will be based upon Kirigami 2, and further have a bunch of new features and behavioural changes which all together makes it sensible to make a big version number change. So, no, this is not the final release of Peruse itself, only the 1.x series - rest assured that there is a very bright future indeed for your favourite comic book reader built by and powered by the KDE community!
Where can I get it?!Don't want to wait? Well, certainly, don't let me stop you! Hop right over to the Peruse website and grab yourself a copy of whichever version best matches your needs.
What's in this?
As for new things, however, we have done some major overhauling of the PDF and ePub support, which is now considerably more solid, with less glitchy rendering and a more usable view. Still based on Okular, but using a more Peruse-like navigation system, which makes the whole thing feel more at home.
A whole bunch of little annoyances have been ironed out as well, and using Peruse is now more pleasant as a result. Things like using a more natural title for title-less comic book archives, and supporting basic ACBF information will come in handy when browsing your collection, and when reading.
What about shinies?This version is not all just cleaning and polishing, you also have a preview of things to come: There is now a (very basic) shop, which you can find in the sidebar with the title "Get Hot New Books", which is by no means the final name, and is more alluding to the name of the technology underneath. Clicking on this entry will let you download and read comics from the share.krita.org comic section, which is currently quite low on content - something which the second thing being previewed in this version might help with.
Peruse Creator is a partner application to Peruse Reader, designed to allow the many creative people out there to easily produce comic book archives, for use not only with Peruse, but with any other comic book readers out there. The version shipped with this release is an initial, basic version, a sort of proof of concept. Even then, it already has support for creating comic book archives with ACBF information embedded, including not only titles and other basic information like that, but also genres and the like. Important to note is that comic book archives made using Peruse Creator will, even though they have ACBF information embedded, work just fine with applications which do not support this: They will simply not have the information available, and really just work like any other cbz file you might come across.
What's next?
For the readers, it means creating a place where they can get that content, the store which is previewed in this version. The version in Peruse now is extremely simple, and really, it would be great to hear what you all want out of it. We have ideas of our own, like showing you what's next in a series where you have downloaded and completed reading a book, and there are more books available on the store. And to show various categories and the like in the store, to let you find things you want to read. Most of all, though, we want to hear what you want to be able to do.
For the makers, it means letting you create comics not only comfortably, but efficiently as well. The creation tool is currently simplistic, but we want to support all the features that ACBF allows for, to allow our makers to make comics which can do things they could not do on paper alone, such as frame based navigation instead of simply page-by-page navigation. Again, we want to hear from you what you want to be able to do.
We in this case are myself and the KDE Visual Design Group, and we would absolutely welcome input from everybody out there, because you are the people we want to be able to make happy. So please, get in touch and we will greatly enjoy listening to your amazing ideas, so we can create the best Peruse possible.
The word of the day is: Boiler. Because we are having a new one installed right now. Have been without heating for over a week now, so getting that sorted is nice ;)

Want to train to detect lies?
Move from guess work to formal training for 2018!
We offer in house training seminars for:
Deception Detection
Advanced Statement Analysis
Sex Crimes Unit Advanced Linguistics (language of sexual assault victims, PTSD impact, trauma, etc) for SCU that have formal training in Statement Analysis.
for law enforcement and business.
With Steve Johnson of Veritas, we offer joint Statement Analysis and Handwriting Analysis seminars (including Advanced, profiling, anonymous author identification, etc).
We also offer a in-your-home Complete Statement Analysis Course.
This course is a broadly based complete instruction in the principles and application of Statement Analysis. With registration, the analyst/investigator is given 12 months of e support, in which his or her work is checked, proofed, corrected and strengthened. This is indispensable in reaching and obtaining our expectation in lie detection: 100% Accuracy rate.
The completion of this course is to not only bring new skills and career traction, but with immediate results. Our analysts are supported. When a conclusion is reached, the work is checked for accuracy. This protects the analyst's reputation, and the implication of error. Whether it be in business or in law enforcement, the goal and expectation is singular: 100% accuracy in detecting deception.
Those who enroll in this course, are eligible for other trainings. This currently includes:
1. Monthly, live training.
2. Advanced Statement Analysis and Profiling
1. The live training is at Go To Meeting and you participate from your home or office. You can listen quietly or engage via commenting and questions. Present in these trainings are professionals from the United States, Canada, Western Europe, and so on. This includes full time instructors, professional analysts, investigators, business executives, medical and social professionals, therapists, journalists, writers, and others. It is a supportive and "team" atmosphere of work. Those who are new to training regularly report how helpful the top professionals are.
This separate live training has been approved for Continuing Educational Units (CEUs) for professional licenses in the United States through the University of Maine.
2. Advanced Statement Analysis and Profiling is a large course and it not only uses advanced techniques, but focuses on profiling. The profiling is such that when one analyses an Anonymous Threatening Letter, the author's background, experiences, personality traits and motive is detailed to the degree that the author is very likely to be identified. The course also prepares the analyst for Employment Analysis and Threat Assessment. This course is not offered to anyone who has not successfully completed our "Complete Statement Analysis" course.
Profiling (identifying the author's background, his experiences in life, his dominant personality traits and his priorities) is complex work. It is dependent upon a strong foundation of Statement Analysis, including the understanding of its principles.
Enrollment in the Complete Statement Analysis will also allow the analyst/investigator to enroll in future courses, including Employment Analysis and separate speciality courses to be released, including "Child Protective Services", "Analytical Interviewing" and Ransom Note Analysis.
Currently, the Sex Crimes Unit Advanced Linguistics is only available in live seminars and this is for units that have a solid foundational training in detecting deception. Please contact via email for more information for your Sex Crimes Unit.
Tuition to increase 1 January, 2018.
Also, enrollment in the live, ongoing monthly training (1) is on approval only. Those who attend a singular training often sign up for a full year subscription. We will continue to offer a discount, though enrollment may be limited.
When you submit your work, especially tests, a single question should be met with at least a full page answer! You are writing to a professional, as if the recipient has no training and no understanding of the principles of Statement Analysis. You must explain everything and buttress your answers with examples found on line, in the news, in your life, work, etc.
|filming ABC's "20/20"
If you have thought to further your skills in detecting lies as well as build traction for your career, consider enrolling prior to the New Year to avoid the increase.
Samples of the work are found at the website, Hyatt Analysis Services as well as at You Tube, including documentaries and televised news appearances.
Here are some Samples:
Missing Person Documentary: Katelyn Markham
Kidnapping: Madeleine McCann
FBI National Academy: Murder of Hailey Dunn
Crime Watch Daily: Baby Ayla disappearance and cover up.
Law Enforcement eligible for tuition payment plans.
*We will honor tuition deposits up to 31 December, to hold price of course, upon terms agreement.

Twitter is a powerful communication tool that companies can use to increase brand awareness and gain customers. With more than 465 million users, this social network plays a key role in your marketing campaign. Twitter allows business owners to monitor conversations in real time, boost search engine visibility, and break through communication barriers. If you operate an offline business, you can use this micro blogging platform to find out what your customers are saying about your brand and promote your products to your target audience.
Here are a few simple ways to use Twitter for your offline business:
Create an Account
The first step in using Twitter is to sign up for a free account. Add a short description of your business, provide contact information, and upload a picture. Be human and personable.
Make a Plan
Before you start using Twitter, plan your special media strategy. Think about who you are targeting, what you want to achieve, what you want your followers to do, and how you will measure results. Developing an action plan is a good way to define your goals.
Listen to Your Audience
Understanding the needs of your customers is a major component to Twitter success. Diving into social media marketing with the assumption that you know what your audience wants is a recipe for disaster. Always keep in mind that Twitter is designed for conversations, not advertising. Listen to your followers, reply to comments, and request feedback.
Create a Conversation List
Twitter allows users to create conversation lists. You can keep these lists private or go public with them. A conversation list helps to organize people based on your interests and personal preferences. Create lists of customers, industry influencers, marketers, and competitors.
Share Your Expertise
Post original thoughts on your industry. Share tips related to your business. Report industry news and link to articles published on well established sites. Share your expertise to build credibility and make your customers trust you. Twitter is a real time information network that you can use to connect with your audience and establish yourself as an authority in your field.
Run Special Deals and Promotions
Offline businesses can use Twitter to reward customers and run special deals. If you are following the right people, they should be interested in your offers, right? A real estate agent can tweet price drops and new homes on the market. A grocery store can tweet seasonal items and specials. A restaurant can tweet happy hour specials and daily offers.

in the manual of the Beacon is written something about a sleep mode. In this mode the white power LED will flashing during the Beacon is in sleep mode. But it doesn't. Has the Beacon any real sleep (deep sleep) mode or is it only a mode where the HDDs were going sleep. Because the fan inside is running all the time. Is their any possibility to activate a kind of sleep mode where the HDDs and the fan will be going sleep/off? I want to save energy in the unused time. If the Beacon has such function, has the Beacon a WOL feature? Becasue in the settings it is possible to activate such an option.
Thanks and best regards,

Of Jamaica's many breathtaking attractions, the parish of Port Antonio is home to some of the best. From the Blue Lagoon to Somerset Falls and Frenchmen's Cove, any visit to Jamaica should definitely include a stop at this incredible example of Jamaican beauty.
From sunrise to sundown, the penetrating beauty of Jamaica can be seen in a vivid display of magnificent colors; a kaleidoscope of hues that make our island the most enchanting of all Caribbean jewels.
Amidst such mesmerizing landscapes, one place stands out above the tropical sceneries: Port Antonio. This picture-perfect destination of hummingbirds and butterflies, pimento and palm trees, put some of Mother Nature's finest artistry on display. Naturally picture-perfect, Port Antonio is a panorama of verdant beauty and gorgeous shades of blue. Moreover, the tropical paradise that is Port Antonio is home to an abundant and richly diverse array of orchids.
The Blue Lagoon
One of the most legendary water holes in the world can also be found in Port Antonio: the Blue Lagoon. A mixture of fresh and saltwater offers an unusual experience which makes it a swimmer's favorite. This gorgeous cove surrounded by lush green hills has been a popular setting for movies like "Cocktail" starring Tom Cruise and "Club Paradise" starring Robin Williams.
Visitors to Port Antonio come from all over the world and all walks of life. One thing is certain, however. Whoever is lucky enough to visit Port Antonio will fall in love with the charming people and magnificent natural beauty.
You cannot leave without visiting the spectacular Somerset Falls. A place of cool vibes, incredible scenery and natural peace, Somerset Falls adds the perfect touch to what promises to be an unforgettable visit to Port Antonio.
The Charm of Port Antonio
A visit to Port Antonio is like a trip back in time, when life was less complicated, less stressful and more romantic. Port Antonio possesses such great charm, in fact, that the place was said to be the great love of the late, great Errol Flynn. The Hollywood superstar of the 1930's, 40's and 50's established a home here, entertaining family and close friends. Flynn considered Port Antonio to be more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen.
Port Antonio. An experience that will remain with you forever. Let Amstar take you there. Contact an Amstar representative to help you plan your itinerary and discover the wonders of Jamaica.
