Finding Work as a Personal Trainer
You may also find our pages on 'How to Become a Personal Trainer' and 'Typical Rates of Pay for Personal Trainers' helpful.
This combined with how much will I earn seem to be the two most common questions. Click the link for more information on typical rates of pay for personal trainers.
First step is nearly always - call your local gyms and become a freelancer for them, either running classes or helping out in the cardio / weights rooms for their members who want a personal trainer.
Pros – ready source of income, good place to get your name known, if you're just starting out it's a great place to learn the ropes.
Cons – low hourly rate, most gyms have a list of freelances already so work may be slow and infrequent.
Alternatively, or even better at the same time, start the long process of finding work independently. The following is a list of activities you could try, most of which can be done at the same time as holding down a full time job elsewhere.
Something it's best to discuss right now is most personal trainers fail because they just don't get enough new clients to be able to make a full time business of it.
As well as being a personal trainer you're going to have to be your very own sales and marketing guru. Sales is the toughest part of any new business, sure there are lots of people who want to become fitter and healthier but how do you make sure they know about you?
Marketing is simply getting your name out there in a cost effective and sustainable way, you could advertise in a national newspaper or do a TV advert and be seen by millions but this would hardly be cost effective.
Think about who needs and wants to be fitter and healthier, where do they go, what do they do and then think about how you can get your name and face in front of them – SIMPLE! And I bet you thought you were a personal trainer, now you're also a marketing director of your own company.
How to find work
Word of mouth
Everybody will tell you this is the best way, shame when you've start out and don't know that many people. For starters tell everybody you're a personal trainer, help family and friends for free and make sure they spread the word. Your family and friends will be you're toughest critiques.
Life cycles
Think about people's life cycles and when people want to become fitter, healthier and slimmer, for example:
Weddings – approach wedding shops and ask if they could give flyers and cards out for you.
New mothers – having a baby is a pretty traumatic time and many mums struggle to achieve the shape they aspire to be. Think about where these mums go and put posters up, run free seminars in other words get your name out there in places like - Nurseries, baby clubs, with nannies.
Doctors surgeries – if people haven't been well health and fitness will definitely be on their minds.
Local clubs – Lots of personal trainers target the obvious i.e. local football and rugby teams. However think a little more outside the box: sailing club, scuba diving clubs, cycle clubs, walking clubs, judo, boxing, karate etc. Any pursuit where being fitter and healthier would be an advantage. Don't just stick a flyer up, run a free seminar about health and fitness.
Work places
Put posters up in the canteens, ask local companies to send an email with a special offer / discount to their employees, run free health surgeries at lunchtime.
Local advertising
Be very careful here it's all too easy to start paying for advertising. Think to yourself would you look for a personal trainer where you're just about to pay to advertise?
Stick a banner on your car – sounds tacky but somebody could see it and call.
Get a website
People may search for 'Personal trainer in XXX town'. Don't get too hung up on building the next Microsoft website, it's all too easy to spend all your time building a world beating site without having any clients ever see it.
We've mentioned above but don't just put up a few posters, tell a couple of friends, do a bit of work in the local gym and expect to be able to retire. People and clubs especially love free seminars, imagine if you're running the local yachting club every monthly meeting you need to find something to talk about, what about a free seminar by the local personal trainer on how to improve your sailing skills by nutrition and fitness – perfect. It costs nothing and you're bound to pick up a few new clients.
Remember sales is hard, very hard and getting new clients is going to take some hard work and effort on your part. You will get one new customer at a time, however if you keep pushing yourself and keep doing the long hours with clubs and third parties, the rewards will slowing begin to come through.
Our advice is don't waste money on local advertising, it's costly everybody does it because it's easy so will yield very low results. Doing all the above first, which are all free and many of which are fun, and strangely enough is what most personal trainers don't do, will bring you more clients than you can cope with.
Good luck and keep trying new things even when you have a full appointments diary. Once you decided what you want to do give us a call and we'll help you to understand all about tax and setting yourself up in business

text: Middle-aged, lazy, and out of shape, spellsinger Jon-Tom attempts to break out of domestic drudgery with one last great adventureJon-Tom and Mudge are bored.Their adventuring days long behind them, the spellsinger and his once-thieving otter sidekick have settled into a life of tepid domesticity, and they are sick of it. They hunger for an old-fashioned adventure, but there are no more great evils to combat. And so they decide to follow the music. Literally.A drifting cloud of lost chords has taken to floating around Jon-Tom, and following it puts them on the trail of an evil that terrifies the spellsinger. Something is stealing music. Finding out who, and why, is responsible for the silencing of the instruments will put Jon-Tom and Mudge into great peril, at the hands of a selfish elephant, a greedy black bear, and a whirlpool with a filthy sense of humor. Seeking adventure, they've stumbled into one turn that may turn out to be their last.

Namor, Stingray, and Triton free themselves and overwhelm Attuma and bring an end to his scheme.

Build APIs With JustAPIs And Manage Them With 3scale
Designing and building APIs can be a complex task. Data is often distributed into many different services. There could be some old legacy SOAP services, a MySQL database somewhere and a MongoDB somewhere else. Aggregating and designing a single API to be the main interface for all these services can be painful. In this blog post, I want to cover how you can combine JustAPIs and 3scale API management to build APIs and set up security, rate limits, and analytics.
I discovered JustAPIs, a new product launched by AnyPresence, while attending APIStrat Austin in November of last year. It seems like a great fit for people who are dealing with complex infrastructures. Once your API is built using JustAPIs, the only thing left to do is add a management layer so you have 100% control and visibility over who is accessing your API – exactly what we provide with 3scale. We can use the 3scale sandbox proxy to deploy API management on top of our API built with JustAPIs. This adds features like authe…

2016 API Predictions
The API field progressed in leaps and bounds in 2015 with impressive new APIs, standards advances, conferences and unfortunately also more negative events like security breaches (see our 2015 roundup). Given all that activity, it's a tough call to guess what might be next. What's certainly true is that there will be more growth in store! There are already prediction pieces out there for 2016 like Yves de Montcheuil's, Neha Sampat's great 10 API predictions presentation at APIDays Paris and Mark Boyd's great piece on the potential economic impact of APIs in 2016.
APIs are showing up in a wide range of 2016 projections in all sorts of industries from

The Internet of Things, Gateways, and Next Generation of APIs Speaker Session at APIStrat Austin
Sitting down in this speaker series, it was all too apparent how much my own life has been impacted by the Internet of Things. With a Macbook Pro on my lap, Samsung Galaxy Edge in my pocket, and LG smart watch on my wrist, I could not be more connected as my devices sync up with the world around me. Sure, I am a great use case for why this topic is so important, but these four speakers provided a little more insight into the past, present, and future of IoT.
Kicking off the presentation, Mandy Whaley, Developer Experience Lead at Cisco, shared her thoughts on IoT. Software licensing has become less profitable, and companies need to own some element of hardware development to create a larger "stickiness" factor. Hardware and software developers have become comfortable in a world where their roles have had very little interaction. Mandy and her team at Cisco have stepped up to ensure this is not the case, creating a "two way street of education," including Coding 101 for hardware developers and s…

How to load test & tune performance on your API (Part II)
These posts are based on Mark's presentation at APIStrat/APIDays Berlin. The video is now available on YouTube.
Here is the second part of our how-to on running a load test on your API. In the first part, we walked through the process of setting up your load testing environment and deciding what are the right metrics to measure and the different approaches to measuring them. We also provided some guidance on what tools to use and finally obtained real data points about how our API was performing.
We will now look at ways of securely exposing your API to the public while making sure that its performance is not being affected.
How adding an access control layer affects your API
At this point we have a reasonably high performance API, but what would happen if someone started sending traffic at a rate beyond 16.000 req/second? How can you pr…

Public vs Private vs Internal APIs
This week saw Kin Lane post an interesting piece over at API evangelist on the Public v's Private API distinction that drew a rather animated response from David Berlind at ProgrammableWeb. Both pieces make some interesting points, but they seem to talk past each other a little.
Forgiving brevity for both, Kin's point:
"This is a reality that plays out in conversations between people who don't fully understand the world of API management—aka the tech blogosphere. If it has an http:// in front of the address, it is a public API—sorry.

2014 API Year in Review – Last Year's API Predictions and More
The end of the year always brings some reflection and thoughts of what the next year will be like, it's also fun to make fools of ourselves trying to predict what might happen. 2014 was a great year in many ways. There were many community building events and conferences — from APIStrat and APIDays to APICon, I Love APIs, Gluecon, REST Fest and others. 2014 also saw company launches, product updates and launches of news sources like API Developer Weekly, API Report and much more. We're looking forward to all that continuing in 2015.
But first – the small matter of our 2014 API predictions

Implementing OAuth2 Flows Is Easier Than Ever
New 3scale Option: Configure OAuth2 Flows Directly from the Proxy Integration Wizard
We are pleased to announce that implementing OAuth2 flows in the 3scale API Gateway is now easier than ever with the new option to configure OAuth2 flows directly from the proxy integration wizard. This allows your 3scale API Gateway to act as an OAuth2 provider supporting the authorization code grant by making this configurable from the 3scale proxy integration wizard. We hope that these enhancements will make the adoption of OAuth2 for your API quicker and easier by letting the 3scale API Gateway take care of issuing and managing access tokens for your third party applications.
A lot of API providers are increasingly concerned with the security of the data they expose through their APIs, especially if that data belongs to the end users of your service. As an API provider, you want to allow your end users to take advantage of the widest possible application eco-system built on top of your API, but you also want to ensure that the data y…

Practical Advice For The Stages Of The API Lifecycle (Part 3/4)
The API lifecycle is made up of four stages, which an API provider would iterate through several times as part of an API program: Plan/Design, Build/Integrate, Operate/Manage, and Share/Engage. You can find a more detailed description of the API Lifecycle in the first post, in which we also describe the Plan/Design stage. In the previous post, we wrote about the actual coding of APIs in the Build/Integrate stage.
API Lifecycle Stage 3: Operate/Manage
Where we left off in the previous post, the API is built but not secured. The architecture of an unsecured API (in simplified terms) looks like this, where an exter…

API Security: The Bitly/MSNBC Case
With the growing popularity of APIs also increases the risks of security flaws. API security needs to be carefully considered right from the start of an API project and in API design. The Bitly/MSNBC case is a perfect example of why.

ComputerWeekly reported on 22 July 2014 a case where hackers abused the Bitly API in a novel attack. The attack was analysed and described in the Bitly API key and MSNBC unvalidated redirects post on…

(WTVM) - It was a day to recognize the best and the brightest on the field.
SportsVisions honored players and coaches Thursday at the Fifth Annual Valley Area High School Football Awards Luncheon.
Where can you find 50 of the area's best offensive and defensive football players? No place else but the Hilton Garden Inn in Columbus this Thursday afternoon.
The awards luncheon sponsored by SportsVisions recognizes those students who excel in football, and who better to do it than DJ Jones, former Carver High standout, UGA football player and NFL player.
"Being a local kid growing up in the community, I know how important it is to get recognition," said DJ Jones with SportsVisions.
One of many players recognized was Player of the Year and sophomore Jawon Pass, the 6 foot 5 inches tall quarterback from Carver.
"It was a lot of pressure but I had to deal with it and lead my team as a sophomore," Pass said.
Players weren't the only ones given kudos for their performance. Twenty-five area high school football coaches were recognized for their talents as leaders.
Speaking of leaders, the guest speaker was none other than Guz Malzahn, Auburn's head football coach.
"Uh, this is right up my ally. I'm an old high school football coach and been to banquets like this and this is a big deal," said Malzahn. "It's a big deal for coaches, players and parents and congratulations to them all here."
The Coach of the Year award went To Mike Swaney of Marion County.

Rumors of War
The world keeps intruding on Obama's dreams of easy peace.
Perhaps you've heard that "the tide of war is receding," except apparently where it isn't, which seems to be much of the world. The latest flash points are in North Africa and the Western Pacific, both of which implicate America regardless of President Obama's second-term wishes.
The hostage death toll from the four-day terrorist siege of the Algerian gas plant is now at least 37, including three Americans. The dead were foreign employees or contractors for the companies that worked at the plant. Dozens of jihadists...

Way back in March of 2005 I wrote a review of a great product that came from England, Go Lower Bars.
Here is an excerpt, but read the whole thing:
Folks, for long-time readers, you know that I usually can't abide low carb "bars." Most of them are just filled with maltitol, and I don't know how anyone can stand the consistency let alone the after effects; gas, bloating, etc. I have taken to eating nuts. I let my kids eat the Carbwell Cereal bars because they only have 3g of maltitol, but I wish they had none.
The employees at the Go Lower company from England read my site and said that they had low carb bars that I would like. Even though they currently don't distribute in the US, they kindly sent me some to try. All I can say is, "nirvana!" These things are the absolute best!
To my readers in England, run to try these out! And for those readers in the States, join me in begging them to distribute them over here! The Brits definitely have it over the Americans in the low carb bar department! For adults who are interested in health AND good taste, I haven't seen another product that even comes close.
Well, Andrew from Carbsmart just emailed me to tell me that he now carries these Go Lower bars in the US and they are available on his site (click here to order). These get my highest endorsement!

When deciding whether to paint your Melbourne house, you need to consider factors such as the type of primer, the thoroughness of surface preparation, proper application procedures, type of paint, exposure to the elements, climate and traffic because these can affect the lifespan of paint jobs.
Factors that can make you repaint are when you see signs like interior paint damage by children as well as activities which involve a large number of people, the presence of pets which can cause scratches as well as other physical damage.
You can also have an accumulation of relatively insignificant damage which can lead to an unsightly as well as an uneven surface. There may be peeling and cracking. However, you can also decide to repaint for aesthetics in case you prefer a different shade or color.
To make your painting job easy, it is important to hire house painters so that the job can be done right. But, since there are so many painters you as a home owner needs to ensure that you get the right painter.
Before you hire melbourne painters, you need to determine what part of your house will require painting and you also need to consider any work that you want done before the painting. Determine if you will also need to replace or repair moldings.
You will also need to decide on the type of colors and paints you want to use. Look at the paint charts at paint stores so that you know what type of paints are available.
The following is a list of tips that you can use to find a suitable painter:
1. Ask your neighbors, family or friends for referrals for experts within your area. Find out if the painters were professional and timely in their work.
2. Good painters will first inspect the site and then make the appropriate quotations for the work to be done. Confirm these quotations with the job you want done.
3. Always consider your budget when choosing a painter and pick one who suits your budget so that you do not end up spending more than you had anticipated. It would also be a good idea to let the painter know how much you intend to spend so that as the quotations are done, this will be borne in mind.
4. Always choose a painter who makes contracts because the contract will be specific as to what is to be done, the total cost, the payment schedule, the date the work will start as well as the date the work will be completed. The contract should also include the brands of the paint and the colors.
Hiring painters has the following advantages:
1. You are assured of quality because professionals have many years of experience in the job. They also have the appropriate equipment and tools which will lend the walls a quality finish.
2. Professionals will always finish their work within an agreed time-frame, except in cases where the circumstances are unavoidable. This is an advantage if you need the painting job done immediately or within a certain time frame.
3. You will not be stressed because once you assign the painting job to the painter, you will just need to relax and wait for the work to be completed.
4. You will also be able to minimize any maintenance cost because before they begin their work, they will first examine the condition of the walls to determine the number of paint coats and primer required, the paint type as well as using the wall putty.
5. Since the painting company are insured, you will be at peace because any damage that the painter may cause will be taken care of.

New Medical Malpractice Laws in Effect
As is the case every year, the republican legislature and insurance carriers have again placed a gauntlet in the way of Medical Malpractice victims and the Medical Malpractice Lawyers that represent those victims.
Senate Bill 1792 went into effect July 1, 2013. The bill allows for "ex parte communications" in medical malpractice cases. Ex parte communications are private conversations about a patient's medical condition between defense attorneys and a patient's nonparty, treating physician without the patient or the patient's attorney present. Such communications could lead to malpractice insurers, represented by the attorney, using those communications to threaten or intimidate the doctor from testifying in a medical malpractice case or the victim from filing the case in the first place. The law becomes effective today.
In addition, medical malpractice cases will become more difficult and expensive with the requirement that expert witnesses who are called against a defendant doctor practice the exact same kind of medicine and not just be in similar fields. For example, if a spine surgeon performs a procedure that is below the standard of care, (medical malpractice), the new law requires that only a spine surgeon can testify against the offending doctor. Thus, a neurosurgeon which performs the exact same surgery is precluded from offering expert testimony.
The changes to the law serve no purpose other than to discourage medical malpractice victims and their lawyers from filing medical malpractice cases.
Five lawsuits were field yesterday claiming the new law is a violation of the right to privacy as guaranteed by the Florida Constitution. The complaints also allege the law is a violation of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Florida Medical Malpractice filings were already down to 900 last year from about 2,000 in 2003. Please understand that the decrease in filings is not because the medical care has gotten better, but rather because of the constant roadblocks that the Florida legislature has thrown down.

I've done everything to isolate the issue to the Apple TV, I have two of them, two TV's, multiple HDMI cables, multiple optical and analog audio cables, two earphones, two headphones, two receivers, etc.. I've connected them over two different wifi routers, and via ethernet on two different macs with two different ethernet cables. The static remains. The best way to hear it is download the mp3 below and play the first 10 seconds on your mac or iphone with earphones on, now play it again but through your Apple TV with earphones on. Just the first ten seconds, thats where you can really hear it. It will be extremely obvious. I've turned dolby digital on/off/auto, makes no difference. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14754850/15 - Hold On.mp3 Anyone have any ideas? Whether I play directly from the Apple TV, or airplay from my Mac, or airplay from my iPhone, the static remains.. pretty big bummer.

The Indian cricket board's move to scuttle the decision review system cast a controversial pall over the Boxing Day Test against Australia, newspapers said on Tuesday.
Australia appeared well placed at 205 for three against India but lost two wickets in as many balls and a third three overs later with replays showing that debutant opener Ed Cowan and senior batsman Mike Hussey were not out.
The Australian press coverage of Monday's opening day's play was dominated by reaction to the Board of Control for Cricket in India's decision not to use the review system in the four-Test Australia series.
The Daily Telegraph said Cowan was robbed when given out caught behind for 68, while "Indias stone-age attitude to technology may have also cost Hussey his career."
The Sydney Morning Herald said India's "stubborn rejection" of state-of-the-art decision review technology took just hours to cause a storm in Australia with the controversial Cowan and Hussey dismissals in Melbourne.
"There was trepidation before this Test series about the potential for umpires to be embarrassed by (Channel) Nine's use of their ball-tracking and Hot Spot devices in its coverage after India once again refused a decision review system (DRS) despite the pleas of Cricket Australia," the Herald said.
"Those predictions proved spot on, unlike the disputed pair of decisions from umpires Marais Erasmus and Ian Gould."
The Australian said the BCCI would not agree to the use of the review system in Australia and forced the International Cricket Council to back down from its expressed desire to have it used in all series.
"The review system was introduced to eliminate howlers, but players have subtly changed its purpose by demanding it measure the sub-atomic," it said.
"Still, the ICC boasts it has improved the accuracy of umpires' decisions and it has statistics to support the argument."
Former Australia Test captain and one-time India coach Greg Chappell said cricket must embrace technology after the Boxing Day howlers.
"If you are going to use it then you have got to use it everywhere," Chappell told Fox Sports.
"I can understand why some of the India batsmen don't want to use the DRS. I think as a batsman you are more likely to get the close decisions to go your way (without DRS).
"If you have the review system, chances are you will be given out more likely than not.
"We saw today why we probably need the review system."
Chappell agreed that India's powerful position in world cricket played a part in the ICC not demanding they not play with the DRS.
"You have got to think there's politics there in some way, shape or form," Chappell said.
"The fact that they are so powerful they (ICC) pretty much can make the decisions that suit them best."
The Daily Telegraph said "Indias unfathomable opposition to the DRS, embraced by every other Test nation, continues to make a mockery of international cricket."
Australian press slams India's review refusal
The Indian cricket board's move to scuttle the decision review system cast a controversial pall over the Boxing Day Test against Australia, newspapers said on Tuesday.

Volume Pricing for Store Fixtures
Forum Responses
The most we could do here is what you are doing... speculate. But if you ask the sources themselves, you will get the answer you are looking for. It may have not only been about pricing (could have been better materials, better production, better delivery schedule, etc.), but if it was, focus on that aspect and ask how far the spread was between what you quoted and the winning quote.
Based upon your operating profit needs and that answer, they may not even be a potential customer. If it is drop-dead pricing that you can't touch, just because they found someone to take a project at a loss or are tooled/processed up to be able to do it at a lower rate than you, doesn't mean that you should venture into a project that doesn't meet your objectives.
Remember, if you take on a job that is below your minimum operating profit requirements (even to get the "experience"), that profit will need to be made up elsewhere. Otherwise, it will create a host of other problems affecting your main business.
I'm all for getting your name out, but the strategy of breaking even on a job to do so while trying to break into a new market is very risky, as the reputation you create is that you do great work for cut-throat pricing, cutting your own throat (and your profits) in the future. More work, less pay, is not a winning strategy.
From contributor X:
Different cabinet shops have different overheads, number of employees, wage expense, tools setups, material pricing, and the list goes on and on. Shop A has a pinch press that saves labor on the job. Shop B does not have a pinch press and does his work manually, thereby there is an increase in time regarding labor. Each shop does the same product but it's being charged differently for the time and work done. Regardless, we are all working for a profit on each job. So if you're equipped to do the job faster and in less time, the job should be theirs if the overhead is within reason. Because you can purchase things in bulk, the savings there could be passed on to the customer also. So it all depends on many variables, each one affecting the prices.
From contributor P:
Economies of scale might be what you are missing. At around 100 units is where you will see the difference. If you look at a guy working on a project, a very small percentage of the time is spent actually adding value to the product. On a volume job, a much higher percentage of the time is spent adding value to the product. This is because of more efficient material handling (pallets instead of conveyors instead of carts). It is because the worker has higher certainty on what he is doing (repetition = certainty). You can use cheap labor for this sort of work. Setup time is amortized over many instead of a few. At a higher volume jigs and machinery make sense that wouldn't pencil out at a lower volume. On larger volume small things that slow production become abundantly clear and get fixed. These same things don't even get noticed on one-offs. This reduces your labor cost to a fraction of what it would be with a short run. Obviously material can be purchased at a much lower price. You have considerable leverage when you buy in volume. Another factor is that when you enter into this arena, you are competing on a national or international level against shops that have very fast machinery.
From contributor L:
If you know what your costs are and price accordingly, then you have to improve your costs or forget the big jobs. As a small shop we occasionally get requests to bid larger volumes than we can be competitive with. Sometimes feel we are just being used to verify their supplier's pricing. A few bids to them and then we decide to save our time for something more productive. Unless you know someone on the inside, it's difficult to get reliable information on the other bidders. We've had better luck just making parts for other manufacturers when it comes to larger quantities. We've also been down the road of "here's an order for 100 display cases, they need to ship to various stores in the next two months." Six months later we still have 25 of them taking up space and not paid for. Won't do that one again! It's difficult to develop a good working relationship with big companies that operate on "lowest price" (bids).
From the original questioner:
Thanks. Within your answers is my problem. I know I have to maintain a profit. I think my fear of not making a profit is keeping my bids too high. I am the only one bidding for this company. They take my work and add theirs (plastic parts and graphics). Their salesmen are on the road selling our combined products head to head against their competitors.
I did ask, as suggested, and yes - our combined prices are too high. They already bid and work in volume. Maybe I should ask them for help even though they work with a different product.
Contributor P hit the nail right on the head. I believe the efficiencies of volume will be much higher than I am taking into consideration. I guess more specifically, what I am asking is... Does anyone have even a rough idea of how much the "economies of scale" can speed up production in a very well equipped facility?
From contributor P:
There are too many variables to answer that question. I would guess around 50%. Store fixtures generally require more handwork than cabinets; consequently there is more opportunity to save labor.
You can use a stop watch and time each task separately and this will give you an idea on how long it is going to take, but you will see a big difference in how long the task takes when doing a few and when you are doing many. Also this doesn't address the non-value-added tasks and this is where you are going to save labor also.
From contributor A:
Our single product or prototype display price usually runs 3x to 5x the best volume price (500+). At a certain point, the savings to go from 100 to 250 to 500 to 1000 are in the 1-4% range for each price break. Unless you hit a volume number with material costs.
Contributor L, always have a storage clause and a payment clause for getting paid when complete, not shipped. Be willing to rent space for them to store their fixtures away from your plant. Retailers are used to storage costs.
From contributor P:
The 50% I was referring to was for a short run to 100+ units. From a Prototype to 100 units I would agree that 3-5x is in line.
Some retailers will only accept the "pay when needed" thing because some vendors are willing to do this. Not that it is a good idea.

The agreement came on the eve of a put-up-or-shut-up deadline for William Hill and Aim-listed GVC Holdings, its junior partner in the deal.
The Takeover Panel has now given the companies until November 13 to complete the deal, which is still subject to due diligence.
Earlier this month Sportingbet rejected an initial 52.5p per share offer from William Hill and GVC. However, Sportingbet has told the companies that its board will "unanimously recommend" the new offer if it is formally made.
The proposal values Sportingbet at 61.1p per share. The terms comprise 48.9p in cash, a 1.1p dividend, and 0.0475 GVC shares for each Sportingbet share. However, the proposed offer would also allow Sportingbet shareholders to "mix and match" cash and shares if they wish to alter the split proposed.
William Hill wants Sportingbet's Australian business, which accounts for 90pc of its profits and where the company is the market leader in telephone and online gambling.
GVC, which last year bought Sportingbet's Turkish business for €142.5m (£113m), would take on the more politically sensitive, unregulated operations.
Despite the agreement, the companies cautioned that there is "no certainty that at the end of this period, an offer for Sportingbet will be made, nor as to the terms of any such offer".
There is also no exclusivity agreement, meaning that a rival bidder for Sportingbet could still emerge. Ladbrokes, William Hill's main rival, held talks with Sportingbet last year but the potential deal broke down because of regulatory concerns about its Turkish business.
Ivor Jones, analyst at Numis, said: "We continue to believe that a bidder capable of extracting synergies from Sportingbet's businesses would be able to pay 90p per share. Sportingbet is now in play and likely to be seeking such a bidder."
However, Simon French at Panmure Gordon said the prospect of a competing offer is "low" given the scale of the increased offer from William Hill and GVC, and Sportingbet's support for the proposal.
Karl Burns at Shore Capital warned the William Hill and GVC deal is likely to take months to complete.
He added: "The deal is likely to face some opposition due to the GVC equity element attached, although we believe the mix-and-match deal should allow some shareholders flexibility in the percentage of cash and GVC equity they receive, depending on demand.
"We believe the deal is likely to take some time to complete, with William Hill required to apply for an Australian gaming licence, which may take up to three months, whilst also conducting due diligence. Therefore, we believe the deal may not fully complete until the first quarter of 2013."

We locate the main causes of the recent financial crisis on three factors. Two of them were the financial liberalisation and the distributional effects (redistribution from wage earners to the financial sector) in the US, and elsewhere. Both these factors gave great strides in the development and extension of new forms of securitisation and use of derivatives.
This was a financial engineering practice, the third main factor, which led to the growth of the instruments labelled as collateralised debt obligations, especially so in the form of collateralised mortgages.
There were also three contributory factors, which were accentuating the process of the main causes: the international imbalances, mainly as a result of the growth of China; the monetary policy pursued by countries over the period leading to the crisis; and the role played by the credit rating agencies. We discuss the economic policy implications of the financial crisis before we summarise and conclude.

Create Lasting Change by Giving!
"I have the power to change the world.
I have a duty because of it.
What is the world if those who can, don't?"
– Ryan McCluskey (Lead For Diversity 2012 )
With your support, we can continue to deliver the many youth leadership development programs and community diversity educational forums related to healthcare disparities, workplace harassment, bullying, and cultural competency that we offer throughout the year. Our youth leadership program initiatives are experiencing an especially critical need due to school district's severe budget constraints.
Lead for Diversity is our signature peer leadership education program that began in 1995 as Anytown. Lead for Diversity empowers high school students to become change agents in their schools and communities on issues of diversity and prejudice reduction. Each year schools in many of our under-served communities are denied the opportunity to participate in this program because of their district's limited resources. These are also many of the same areas that are impacted the most by social and economic disparities. Your gift can be designated to support Lead for Diversity.
Did you know that you might be able to double your gift at no extra cost through your (or your spouse's) employer's matching-gifts program? Please check with your company to see if they have a MATCHING GIFTS program!

In San Diego on Thursday, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, sharply rebuked her Republican rival, Donald J. Trump, for his lack of qualifications and foreign-policy smarts. Departing from her standard and often dull stump speech, Clinton issued a brutal and, at times, clever critique of her Republican opponent. Yet, as she drew out the differences between herself and Trump, it became depressingly clear that she is offering nothing new.
Mrs. Clinton told an adoring crowd that Trump simply "cannot do the job." Trump's ideas, according to Clinton, "aren't just different—they are dangerously incoherent. They're not even really ideas—just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies." In sense, Clinton—of Illinois, Arkansas, New York, and Washington, DC—was on home turf in San Diego, which plays host to some of the biggest players within the military-industrial complex. Defense contractors like BAE Systems, General Atomics, Cubic Defense, and Northrop Grumman contributed, according to one San Diego–based trade group, an estimated $24.8 billion to the local economy last year.
Clinton's bill of indictment against Trump was not, however, totally unconvincing: Trump has made a series of reckless pronouncements in which he has indicated he would be fine with a nuclear-armed Saudi Arabia. He has proposed a ban on Muslim immigrants. He has said he will bring back torture and "go after" the families of suspected terrorists. Clinton sarcastically mocked Trump for seeming to believe that holding a Miss Universe pageant in Moscow counts as some kind of foreign-policy credential. "This," Clinton scolded, "isn't reality television, it's reality."
All in all, devastating and formidable. Yet problems arise when Clinton rolls out the charge that Trump is "temperamentally unfit" for office. Perhaps he is. But her record also raises serious questions of judgment. And here a consideration of Secretary Clinton's record in office is in order. New York Times reporter Mark Landler recounts in his recently released book Alter Egos: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and the Twilight Struggle Over American Power that on nearly every major foreign-policy decision that Clinton weighed in on during her time as the nation's chief diplomat, she found herself to the right of the Pentagon.
A former aide recounts that Clinton "contributed to the overmilitarizing of the analysis" with regard to the president's options in Afghanistan. Clinton initially backed Gen. Stanley McCrystal's request to send 40,000 troops there and was among on coterie of advisers who forced President Obama's hand in sending 30,000. Doing so resulted in, among other things, a wave of "green-on-blue" attacks on American service personnel by our alleged Afghan "allies." Not surprisingly, twice as many US servicemen were killed in Afghanistan under Obama than under George W. Bush.

Bada smartphone to debut H1 2010
Samsung outlines OS' features
The first smartphone based on Samsung's Bada OS will arrive during the first half of 2010, the company has confirmed.
Could this be Samsung's first Bada smartphone?
During a formal launch of the OS in London this morning, Samsung said the mystery device will be available in 50 countries at launch. Images of what's rumoured to be a Bada smartphone (above) have already appeared online.
A steady stream of other Bada-based smartphones will then arrive during the H2 2010, with Samsung planning to make the OS available for download at some point in the future.
Samsung remained annoying tight-lipped this morning about the technical specifications of its first Bada smartphone, letting slip only that the device will offer full touchscreen support.
But we can speculate how the phone will operate, thanks to Samsung's brief outline of the Bada OS' key features, at the heart of which is a supposedly "simple and efficient" UI.
Not that we can confirm this - Samsung didn't show any images or videos of the OS in action.
Bada will also offer an "immersive experience", Samsung said as it demoed videogame Resident Evil running on the touchscreen of an unbranded handset, and allow photos, messages and more to be shared with contacts according to their location.
Just some of the features Bada will bring to its smartphone range
Application development has also been simplified, Samsung claimed without really disclosing how, and phone users will be offered "in app purchasing" – an established iPhone feature.
Slides displayed at the event also hinted how both Bada and its unfolding smartphone range will support a plethora of technologies and applications, including face recognition, Flash, "location triggering" and "programmable vibration".
Samsung has also shaken hands with a range of content providers to ensure a range of services will be accessible through Bada, including Twitter, Facebook and The Weather Channel. CapCom will be providing games, Samsung said.
So will Blockbuster Video. Neil Davis, the rental firm's CIO, told attendees that Bada owners will be able to watch films on their phones – hinting that a Blockbuster online movie catalogue could arrive on the smartphone platform. ®

OverviewEach stone is carefully sorted by hand according to its size, color, and shape. Then they are attached to a web mesh by pollution-free glue. A great choice for enhancing any pool, spa, and bath applications. Indoor or outdoor.
Disclaimer: Pebbles are a natural product so variations in color and texture are to be expected. All tiles should be inspected before installation, as no adjustment will be made after installation.
Installation: 1. Spread and comb mixed thin-set to an area not more than 8 square feet at a time. 2. Set the tile in thin-set. It is crucial to alternate and stagger the pieces in each row so that the seams do not line up from one row to the next. 3. Gently tap down the tile because it is important that each pebble is embedded in thin-set. 4. After 24 hours use a grout bag to fill spots where mesh may be seen from top. 5. Seal the tiles after grout has been completely cured.

Industry News
Choose Beauty: Terri Taricco
Terri Taricco
Vice President of Marketing, Helen of Troy
Year I Obtained My Beauty License: 1984
I chose beauty because the beauty industry allowed me to raise my children and work my hours around them. I was able to express myself creatively. As my children grew, I was able to spend more hours in the business and branch out to other areas. After high school, I had aspirations of being a bomb demolition expert. I thought that diffusing explosives would be an exciting career. Although I discovered that untangling bombs was literally a breathtaking experience-I am more of a high heels kind of gal.
After my divorce, I was a single mother, working as a waitress and receiving government assistance. But I managed to graduate from beauty school through a state-funded program. The next step was taking out a loan and opening a salon. I enjoyed stints at R.G. Shakour and the Professional Beauty Association before joining Helen of Troy in 2004. On my journey, I seized every opportunity, trusting that I would learn what I needed to know along the way.

Best Portfolio Websites | 6 Must-Haves Of A Photography Portfolio Website That Make Clients Crave To Work With You
Best Portfolio Websites | Say what you will, but setting up a photography portfolio website is still vitally important, even in 2015 – the day and age of social networks, smartphones, apps and all the other new digital trends. A website is one of the most powerful tools for any professional photographer – it enables your work to be found through search engines, shared across social media, and is an excellent way to engage with your potential clients and fans of your work.
Best Portfolio Websites | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
The uncomfortable truth these days is that your work alone may not get you the assignments you want or think you deserve. The layout, visual appeal, and the functionality of your website are vital when it comes to catching and keeping the attention of a potential client for long enough for them to be impressed by your skills and talent. Even if your work is absolutely brilliant, it won't speak for itself if the presentation isn't just as great.
Getting Praise For Website Design? Think Again | Best Portfolio Websites
When creating an online photography portfolio, you want a website that is straightforward, simple, and easy to use. You want your photography to be the focal point, rather than an overwhelming design. There's nothing inherently wrong with having a website design that gets a lot of compliments, if you're a web developer. But you're not; you're a photographer and that's what your portfolio website should convey. Simplicity in the interface and visual design of your website will push your work to the surface, where it belongs.

It's A Website, Not A Brain Puzzle | Best Portfolio Websites
If your work is presented in an organized way and is easy to access, chances are, potential clients will appreciate the curation and level of professionalism that went into putting your portfolio website together. It also makes their lives a lot easier when going through your work. The easier your portfolio is for your viewer to access and get around, the happier they will be using your website. The happier they are using your website, the more positive feelings they will have while looking over your work.
Narrow Down Your Choices Of Images | Best Portfolio Websites
Although you may have a huge collection of images you want to share in your portfolio for the world to see, try to limit your selection to the best examples. Too many images in your portfolio can affect loading times, and overwhelm the visitor with too many options. It can make your portfolio feel like it is dragging on and on. Remember, it's always better to have a portfolio of a few projects that are beautiful than dozens of projects where some of them are just OK. The quality of your portfolio is only as good as your weakest project.
Blog | Best Portfolio Websites
The average photography portfolio website gets updated once every three months or so. With that being said, how do you expect to get repeat visitors if you rarely add new and interesting content to your website? To keep your visitors coming back for more, consider adding a blog to your website. Blogs also add personality to your website. People want to work with someone who is interesting and easy to work with. It may sound like a daunting task to have to find something new to post every day, but in the long run you'll thank yourself. You can write about the projects you've worked on, share your thoughts about photography and trends, or talk about your favorite tools.

Keep It Fresh | Best Portfolio Websites
Keep in mind that your work doesn't end with just building a killer portfolio. You'll also want to update it on a regular basis. One of the biggest mistakes artists make when it comes to their website is not updating it often enough. The best portfolios are never static. As you create new and better work, make sure you make additions to showcase your latest projects and skills, but with the same focus on careful curation!

Include Contact Information | Best Portfolio Websites
Regardless of how good your work is, if your visitor can't contact you, you're not getting any work. Make sure your contact information is easy to find and instantly accessible. Include prominent contact details so visitors are in no doubt as to how they can email you, follow you on Twitter or connect on Facebook. In some markets your location information can actually improve your chances of being hired so assess whether being specific is indeed a bonus in your circumstances.
