Definitions: Arrangement
An 'arrangement' includes any scheme agreement or understanding, and does not need to be legally enforceable (Section 356OP CTA 2010 and Section 517Q ITA 2007).
Any number of transactions can be regarded as a single arrangement if a common purpose can be recognised.
To be in an arrangement it is necessary to be acting together in some way or to have knowledge of the purpose of the arrangement. Where there is a small shareholder who has no or little input into the company which is developing the land, it is unlikely they will be concerned in an arrangement. There is a large spectrum of situations and the specific circumstances will determine whether an individual or company is concerned in an arrangement.
Example 1
An individual shareholder purchases a small number of shares in one of the UK's largest house builders. After holding these shares for a period they decide to dispose of the shares. In this instance it is unlikely the individual is concerned in an arrangement. They are unlikely to be acting together with the house builder to deal in or develop UK land.
Example 2
An individual purchases 60% of the shares in a company which has been set up to purchase and develop a piece of land. The company will not be selling the land but will be sold to the person who wants to acquire the land. The reason for purchasing the shares was to purchase a portion of the land which will be disposed of after it is developed. When the land is developed the individual sells their shares to a third party. In this instance it is likely the individual has been concerned in an arrangement to develop the land.

Planning for the Tax Year End
13th March 2017
As we approach the end of the tax year its worth taking a few moments to see if there is anything you can do to make the most of your tax allowances and potentially save yourself some tax.
First of all a reminder that we are looking at tax year 2016/17 which runs from 6th April 2016 to 5th April 2017 so we are interested in your earnings in that period.
As we work with predominantly owner managed businesses we have focused here on planning for salary and dividends. If you have other sources of income please speak to your accountant or if you are one of our awesome customers drop us an email at email@example.com
Okay so let's break this down into the different level of earnings:
You earn less than £11,000 per year:
You will not pay any tax as all your income falls below the tax thresholds.
You earn between £11,000 and £43,000:
You are a basic rate taxpayer.
The first £11,000 you earn is tax free.
If you receive dividends the first £5,000 of dividends is also tax free.
Additional dividends that take you up to the £43,000 will be taxed at 7.5%.
If you have other income such as rental income this will be taxed at 20%.
If you have available profits in the company but no cash you can declare a dividend to take you up to the £43,000 threshold to take advantage of the 7.5% tax band, the company will owe you this money that you can then withdraw tax free at a later date. To do this you will need to complete a dividend voucher and put the entry through your Xero via a journal.
For owner managed companies we recommend the following structure (assuming no other income).
Salary £8,060
Dividends £34,940
Total £43,000
You earn between £43,001 and £150,000
You are a higher rate tax payer
The first £11,000 you earn is tax free.
If you receive dividends the first £5,000 of dividends is also tax free.
Additional dividends that take you up to the £43,000 will be taxed at 7.5%.
Dividends taken once your earnings are above £43,000 will be taxed at 32.5%
If you have other income such as rental income this will be taxed at 20% in the basic rate and 40% in the higher rate.
You earn between £100,001 to £122,000:
Once you start to earn over £100,000 you start to lose your £11,000 personal allowance. Which makes each pound earned in this bracket effectively taxed at a very high rate. Consider delaying dividends into the new tax year or making a larger pension contribution before 5th April 2017 to keep below £100,000.
You earn over £150,000:
You are an additional rate tax payer and will pay tax at the highest rate which is 38.1% for dividends and 45% for most other income.
It is worth looking to see if you can defer any income into the next tax year.
TIP: If you are a higher rate or additional rate taxpayer, paying into a personal pension scheme may reduce your tax bill as it extends the basic rate band so more of your income is taxed at the basic rate rather than the higher rate. We recommend speaking to your financial adviser if you wish to do this and soon as it must be done before 5th April 2017.

Some companies have used NetDrive for WebDAV.ReplyDelete
Also, check out Adobe Bridge and Adobe Drive - they may fit the bill better than plain webdav. They provide greater functionality for metadata, etc., especially for Creative Suite users.
Also, note that by default Basic Authentication for WebDAV is disabled on Windows 7. In order to enable it, the following entry in the registry has to be updated to 2 or greater:

Some folks have reportedly got webdav to work on newer version of Windows using the above.

Why You Should Pay Attention to Garden Drainage
"What's the best thing about your plot?"
Ask any gardener that question, and they'll come up with as many answers as there are many species of plants. Some will say flowers, insisting that these literally bring color to the patches of greenery. Others will boast of raised beds filled with healthy vegetables. After all, there's nothing better than watching your hard work grow.
One aspect of gardening, however, does not receive enough credit despite its vital role: The drainage.
For UtahSprinkler.com, a residential sprinkler service provider, soil health is essential in keeping things healthy and green, which is why you need sprinklers. But where does all the water go?
Why Garden Drainage Matters
Sadly, a number of new gardeners eagerly start planting without understanding the soil structure or the draining process. Even experienced gardeners often take drainage for granted, considering it a mundane necessity.
But considering how the water interacts with the land should be a matter of consideration.
Water will always be present in your garden. Apart from the sprinklers, rain also keeps your greens and blossoms healthy. While the soil absorbs most of the water, a large volume results in a series of puddles, which eventually forms one big pond. This can drown the plants or cause excess flooding in the garden, compromising your flowers and other features.
Addressing the Drainage Problem
Fortunately, there are several options in case the drainage poses a problem.
One of the simplest solutions is a DIY soakaway. Create one by digging down the spots affected by puddles and establishing a void for the water to fill naturally. Custom-made plastic crates or underground spaces also make perfect voids.
Extensive problems, on the other hand, require piped drainage. These are perforated and flexible heavy duty tubes usually backfilled with gravel. These drains should be connected to the sewer for the water to flow freely.
Others won't give drainages the attention they deserve, but if it's your garden, you should. The underlying structure is the secret to a flourishing garden, and you have to take it seriously.

I just finished Stephen King's Dark Tower series minus book 4, which our county library system seems to have corporately lost. This is a few thousand pages (6 novels) in about three weeks time. Other than his Entertainment Weekly column I was a blank slate where King was concerned and had few expectations, but if I'd been quizzed before hand, I couldn't have imagined a writer more my opposite in personality and life experience. In many ways that opinion hasn't changed, though he is often a remarkable writer (I'll save the review for another entry). With this in mind, the final two novels of the series (Susannah's Song and The Dark Tower) were a shock. In these novels King himself enters the story as a character, and he speaks extensively about what writing is like for him, his creative process and the tyranny of talent. Using his own words from book 5 The Wolves of Calla, I had that experience for which all bibliophiles read and which too few novels deliver: the pure joy, the "ecstasy of perfect recognition" that makes your midsection feel like a fizzy drink and your head like its ready to soar into the air and burst into big-city fireworks. "I'm NOT alone in the world after all!" Someone thinks or feels or sees what I think, feel and see, but am too inarticulate or too unaware to explain even to myself.
King snuck up on me with his fictional alter ego. Fictional King tells gunslingers Roland and Eddie that as counter-intuitive as it may seem, he can't tell stories. That's why he writes them. Lifelong that has puzzled me about myself. When my kids wanted me to make up stories for them orally and extemporaneously my brain seemed to lock up, while give me a pen or a computer and it pours out. That was kind of nice to know that one of our most prolific writers (at least until his accident) had the same disconnect. But when he said he knew writers who really write, as in plotting everything out and using language and metaphor with a sculptor's intentionality, but he wasn't one of them, the fizzy feeling began. When he talked of feeling like a conduit and quoted an editor who spoke of Thomas Wolfe as "the divine wind chime," the fireworks ignited. I'm not saying that what I write is divine, but the Fire-Dragon Prophecy series I'm writing came to me as if on the wind and demanded to be told.
King is not the first writer I've read who has described his experience of inspiration and writing as something independent from himself, but he is the first to give it the detailed texture and depth that so precisely evokes my experience. I am grateful for that "perfect recognition." And for his remark in Song of Susannah, " . . . telling stories is like pushing something. Pushing against uncreation itself, maybe." I could almost believe he'd read Dorothy L. Sayers Mind of the Maker. This last was the balm and push that a discouraged writer needed to listen to the wind and be faithful to the gift of a story given once upon a time, even if my talent falls short of of fully doing it justice. As fictional Stephen King makes clear to his own detriment, pushing against the dark requires courage. It's time I found some of my own. He speaks true, thank ya, sai!

Peach Banana Smoothie Popsicle
Recipe from offbeatandinspired.com
What you need:
3 medium ripe peaches, pitted and quartered (I leave the peel on)
1 medium banana
1 cup Chobani non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup 1% lowfat milk
3 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground allspice
Get Cookin':
1. Mix all ingredients together in a blender until smooth.
2. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze. If you don't have popsicle molds, you can freeze the mixture in ice cube trays or small paper cups. When your smoothie mixture is slightly frozen, just stick a plastic spoon or wooden popsicle stick in each serving and continue to freeze.
3. Remove popsicles from their mold. Serve and enjoy!
Quick Tip: For a last minute smoothie when you're on the go, freeze the popsicle mixture in ice cube trays and then transfer "smoothie cubes" to a sealed freezer bag. When you want a smoothie, just add the desired amount of frozen smoothie cubes to a blender, blend and enjoy! (If your smoothie cubes are frozen solid, you may need to melt them just the slightest bit so they'll blend well.)

text: Way back when Mariko was still new to my group, I was hunting for clothing patterns for her. I heard that Blythe clothes fit her mold, so off I went to look. I already knew that Knitty had patterns for Blythe. Through them, I found WoolyRockers free patterns, and from there, a simple tube dress pattern on another site. I made two dresses with that pattern, though when I went hunting to find it for the second project, I couldn't find the place. Instead, I took a look at outfit #1 and figured it out from there.

|We will Always Love you
Tell me Whitney who took your life away from you and your loved ones?
Name the murderer, is it Cocaine, Marijuana or Ganja?
lets build a school of music in the name of Whitney Houston other than building a sta
I began my day, little later than usual. After listening to my sister's usual this and that talks of every morning other than the 'TEAAAAAAAAAAAA' command, took me this far of my thinking, keeping a question mark in a one side of my mind on building statues
So after listening to all what she expressed today morning, I picked my today's topic that is 'STATUE', Statues in memory of the LIVED >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
( > = sign of the continuation in the paths of the sansara, personal to me)
Why one should build statues or expect others to build statues in memory of their names?
I think that is because they expect to be sustained in the hearts and minds of the living even after their dates of expirees, that is what I believe
I have not heard of such though the normal situation is different, about the people those who have written their last wills, mentioning the wills of building statues in memory of their names
I know that my sister was teasing me and sharing a bit of sense of humor with me in order to refresh my morning YET I thought there is a lot to think within in what she shared with me and expressed to me
I think building a statue in memory of a lived is not a big task yet I think my sister should live like a woman that others can remember without taking any efforts to remember her name
Normally it is a little difficult for me to convince things for her because she often shows a little that, 'what I say is right' kind of a personality
I have observed the statues built in memory or in remembrances of the huge personalities of this country we live and the fate and results behind the idea of building statues in the names of the lived
What I say is not applicable to the dear and near ones who follow such procedures as a family tradition or as a customs, norms or as values
I know any one who arrange official tours in and around of cemeteries must have noticed some of the things that I essay here, today
I remember reading few articles written exploring the cemetery in Borella , famous, the place that the most the famous' , tall and huge personalities have decided to relax in peace
I know and have heard and read about the tomb of the H R Jothipala the singer of the hearts of people.
The tomb that have built in memory of him examples many things And it shows how he understood and measures the size of a heart, wallet of a poor lover that don't have the financial ability to build any Taj Mahal or buy BMW, Diamonds or pearls for the lover
He is H R Jothipala pardon me if the idea belong to the lyrists
' Taj mahalak thanawanna beha mata obey senehasata himi
His ahase gewenna tharamata hee seyak bandimi
I can't build a Taj Mahal in the name of your affection, love
I can build something that reaches and touches the empty sky on the day of your departure
I like that song
Essaying songs or analyzing songs that I already have heard and love is not the vision of my day, today, let me move on to my topic of the day ……………………..
I have few questions in my mind, after building statues who reaches to venerate or salute those lived, the living, the friends or the relatives?
Who visits the statues not daily but at least regularly or often, the statue crafter or the ones who build such using the money of the public?
I believe that they some, or one of the near and the dear visits such places only on the days of the death anniversaries. That is the biggest insult that one can do to the ones who lived somewhat good or totally good in the country serving their people, honestly but so memorably in the hearts and minds of near and dear
Just take your mo- bike guys and gals and have a visit to the places of statues and just observe the fate of such 'look what has happen to them can they rest in peace, who think of cleaning the dusts and pisses of the animals? If you plan to visit such places, you may also get chances to observe the broken edges of some of such statues
Who should do clean and take care of them?
Are there anyone in the name of dust because I hear some kasu kusu about dust during my on and off of the opportunities get to hear the conversations of my benefactors, well wishes
Oh! Bad me, did I ever think of thanking them for their strategies of convincing what they have heard or read from the others, who ever
Let me take this opportunity to THANK my benefactors who have been supporting and helping all these years opening the gates and doors for me
Thank you ONCE AGAIN
Oh! My topic of the day, I mustn't forget
What I ask the authorities and the loved ones who do not think of building statues here and there in order to seal the names of the good ones in the hearts and minds of the people of their area or in that area in the villages or in any of the global territories, or in towns or in cities, do something heavier and can be easily measurable that is to mark or to seal the name of the service provider. I guess such might shows the real weight of the service rendered to their service gainers, benefactors
What we should do is to try to build something within the hearts and minds of the people, expecting something total to happen in the future, aiming some benefits to achieve for the beneficiaries, country members, and village members other than building anything concrete
Concrete or establish something better than a statue
I have seen the statues of late president Mr. R Premadasa in some of the areas of the country for instance in Mawanella town, if my memory is accurate
I can't talk of the statues in the other territories or the statues in the madame Tussauds Museum, London or about the statue of Charles Dickens with the children around him listening to his story telling
i know there you can see the statues looks so live built of some specific wax ? most the ones are of the living
I can talk about the personality of the heart of the students Mr. Lalith Athulathmudali , the founder of the scholarship scheme ' MAHAPOLA SCHOLRSHIP' I guess the statue looked alright I observed the statue from a distance
You need to take care of your things now that the state (?) or the foundation has built such statues your foundation has to take the responsibility of maintaining without really insulting them
I guess any government or the state has plenty of things to do , I don't mentioning this as a major task of a state what I suggest and my question is ' why build statues' 'why not something sustainable in the name of the good ones
Ok why build statues? Is it because that is the tradition or the custom so far followed not only here in Sri Lanka but also in the world?
Thank goodness that OUSL authority has taken a decision to prohibit smoking in the zone of OUSL by noticing it to the visitors, students professionals '
So 'NO SMOKING'
Thank you for the Decision taken SIR
How to find money to build too many statues for the deaths happening faster than the normal due to too much smoking
Oh! Who will build my statue, the 'Cigar COMPANIES' for essaying such things?
Not worthy right? : - )
I can't remember the name of the person or the incident totally, I have read that one of the daughters have file a case against a 'Cigarette Company one or two decades back not here but somewhere in the globe because her father used to smoke only a one particular Brand ever since her father started smoking and finally suffered from Cancer and died
If my memory is accurate, the daughter who filed the case against the company, cigar won and was eligible to gain 'compensation' from the company
I guess that is the one and only incident reported in the entire field of court systems of the world
I am not quite sure whether she built any statues using the money granted or taken from the company, I suppose she didn't
So in memory and respect of all the suffered and troubled or lived happily and totally I like to suggest 'don't ever think of doing something against what your heart evidences says or proves
Leave all the statues alone, should I write that way?
NO I should say ' Let the Living or half dead the way they like without trying to spoil their living agendas I guess for them it is no easy to bear
Forgetting building statues how about thinking of charging some fines against for the ones who put all heavy garbage in to the drainage systems in the towns, that is to avoid the worries of the townies and floods during heavy rain also to maintain the accuracy of the town needs
Thank you for reading me my dear friends!

Starting a business in the Chinese market may not be as easy as you thought, but hiring employees can be even more challenging for the employers of newly started companies. What kind of contracts you are signing with your employees in China? Is freelancer a good option? What are the rules and risks around hiring, firing, and managing a team of employees?
The confusion is also from the other side: As an employee, working for a new business in China can be an exciting opportunity, but it also raises many questions: what is legal or illegal when it comes to salary, social benefits, taxes, compensation, overtime; and if you are a foreigner, how to deal with the new rules of obtaining the work permit?
By highlighting some of the challenges both employees and employers face in each of these areas, we hope to ease anxieties and provide information on how HR can be done right.
In this seminar, Arie will also present another solution (Chinaware) to a common problem that new comers to China are facing is: can your clients open your websites in China without a VPN? Chinaware allows your overseas website to be seen in China without a VPN, ICP license, or migrating your site to a Chinese website platform.

Find The Common Thread Foundation
The only way to find a cure for Autoimmune Disease is by looking for a cure for all 140+ of them. Find the Common Thread, find the cure. WE1
- Stage Concept Only
- Industry Other
- Location Jasper, AB, Canada
- Currency USD
- Website findthecommonthread.com
Company Summary
A non-profit group initiated and run by volunteer patients whose goal is to raise awareness for ALL Autoimmune Disease and its debilitating effects on individuals, families, business, healthcare and our economy, thereby creating a will to look for a cure for ALL rather than continue on the current and cure-less path of segregation based on location of symptoms rather than disease etiology. One disease, one cure. We One.
Marta RodeFounder
I am a patient who wanted to raise awareness for my rare disease until I had an epiphany. 20% of the population deal with AI disease on some level... but scientifically we haven't had a lot of forward momentum in this field. Someone needs to push, and since I lost my job and my old life to this, I figured it might as well be me that pushes. Worst thing that can happen is things stay the same.
Susan CescoBoard Member
Sue is another patient dealing with uncertainty and a handfull of pills every day, but she does it with grace and class. Sue is the Manager of Friends of Jasper National Park non-profit group and is very savvy with the workings of Non Profits and also the workings of the Health Care System. She is also a proud member of Rotary International and has brought our fight to that organization.
Hana Dankov-ByeBoard Member
Marta's sister and biggest supporter outside her nuclear family. Also a patient who's gone through the epic adventure of looking for a diagnosis that most AI patients can relate to.
Hana is an entrepreneur with a solid head on her shoulders and a get'er done mentality. Anyone need to roll up their sleeves and work, Hana's your lady. She was beside me when the docs said I was dying and she's been beside me through everything I've done here.
Richard IrelandBoard Member
Richard is not only a fellow patient but also a lawyer and the mayor of our wonderful town of Jasper. Although a busy man, he has agreed to be part of our special group because he can see the potential unprecedented positive effect we can have on millions of people across our country and beyond.
Steph Sophocleus-LewisBoard Member
Steph is a lady with many talents stacked on top of an often time debilitating AI disease. She is an inspiration to local youth dealing with the same issues and is also a hotel manager and owner/operator of her own Yoga studio. A woman of vision and positive disposition, she has taken the gross of AI disease and has spun it for the best, like all the other board members on this page.

Use Of Flash Drives Can Promote Your Business A Great Deal
If you need to promote your business and the products that you sell, you will need to get more attention from your regular and potential customers. You can achieve this by offering promotional gifts, and this gives your business an opportunity to dominate in your local markets. Nonetheless, before you opt to go round giving pens and calendars, consider other options that might convert strangers into regular customers. It is a fact that when you embark on doing your research on market dynamics, you will discover that you can do wonders by use of custom flash drives to advertise.
Use of
Wooden USB
also referred to as memory sticks and is a unique way to put your business over the top of your other competitors. You will, not only sell your company products and gain the reputation as a result, but you will also open up the communication channels with your customers and prospects as well. All that you will have to do is choose what the relevance of the information you would want to preload on the drive and how much memory you will have to give away on them is.
If your business is selling diverse products, you might consider uploading your company's catalog onto the drive. Doing this will make purchase easy for your clients and will even save your business some funds on the printing of brochures to be distributed during field marketing. Therefore, this by far offers your business prospects of paradigm shifts in terms general operations.
And for those who have business opportunities to market may want to consider preloading their drives with their marketing presentation, for example, you can upload a brief video describing unique features of your products. On top of that, you could easily add in it a list of Frequently Asked Questions, and this will help them to choose whether to join your business or not. Your choice in promotional items could be all that is needed to pursue them to join you. For more facts and info about flash drives, Visit
A lot of businesses spend a fortune for months trying to invent new marketing techniques for their businesses, but really, what they need is to come up with a more creative advertising methods and designs by taking advantage of flash drives in their businesses. Give them a way as a way of appreciating them. Give
custom flash drives
to any of your traditional customer who refers another to you. Use them as an employee incentive to motivate them.

|About 2 months ago
Welcome to Mineville NOW OFFICIALLY ON SPIGOT 1.12.2 *** Mineville first appeared back in February 2012 when Minecraft was still only at version 1.0. The server has seen so many changes since then. What started out as a basic server with absolutely no plugins and very few players has now become really popular. We have had a number of map resets due badly griefed landscapes and the lack of protection plugins. The server has become more protected over the past couple of years due to trial and error and the commitment of the valued staff who watch over the server. Mineville is pretty laid back, there's always plenty of land to build on unlike some other servers where everywhere is protected. We also frequently check our server for updated plugins and fixes so that it can be stable as possible. Some of the main features the server hosts are as follows: ASkyBlock, Residence, Lockette, Factions, ChestShop, Dungeon Maze, McMMO, Herobrine and many more!

One of my very first additions to the photography Studio right after getting the basic softboxes all in one kit from Amazon was this Ring Light and I have been using it for a couple of months in more than twenty shoots, I think I´m ready to share my experience.
It´s funny when you are reviewing the pictures with a client after a session, 90% of the time they prefer the results of the ring light among soft box lighting.
First of all, there are several ring lights available but I decided to go with Neewer for a couple of reasons, I already have Neewer products that worked pretty well and the price was really competitive. There are also two models of this ring light, both powering 400W, one has a dimmer for the light and the other one does not.
Once you plug it in and you are ready to switch it on always remember to warn your subject to close his eyes as the light coming from the fluorescent tube it´s actually really bright.
Test shots.
Here is an example of both female and male subjects, notice the difference on the catch light for light coloured eyes and dark ones.
The Downside of the Deal.
As in everything in this life, there is the good side and the bad side in which for this piece of equipment I would say is the catch light on the eye
The ring shaped catch light works best with blue or green eyes but I find the ring light on dark eyed people too distracting.
Balancing the White Balance.
Fluorescent sources of light are always a bit trickier to get it right than flash or strobe, when the latter will give you warmer tones the fluorescent will give you more cold blueish colour, to tweak your balance set your camera on white balance "Auto" or "Fluorescent". But if you want to get the white balance even more accurate I will recommend to use a colour checker.
The Technical Stuff.
- Dimmable 10″ ring fluorescent flash light
- Power: 50W (equivalent to 400W on an incandescent one)
- With reinforced flexible arm which will move freely and never droop
- Extra Long Cord and Heavy Duty Thumb Screws
- A must have for photography enthusiasts
Where to get it.
This is the model I got from Amazon
There is also a model of the ring light with dimmable power

What you call "art" as a kid doesn't necessarily translate to art for those who are older than you. That includes your doodles and weird scrawls on the walls (initial attempts at writing a story that only you understand) - only to be covered by rolls and rolls and ROLLS of wallpaper.
As a writer, I appreciate art - in ALL forms. Art is everywhere: An unmade bed. Burnt food made by my teenage daughter in an attempt to help me at the kitchen. Dirty dishes. Dog and cat poop at the backyard. Cobwebs that seem to appear at places you forgot to check.
Yes, art is everywhere!

For the second time in the past four years, the Border Olympics baseball tournament will not declare a champion after inclement weather postponed action early on Friday.
The morning games were postponed due to field conditions and will attempt to be made up at the same times Saturday. At 9 a.m., Cigarroa (1-2) faces New Braunfels and Martin (0-3) takes on La Joya Palmview with both on their home field while LBJ heads to Slaughter Park to play Schertz Clemens. At 11:15 a.m., the Toros and Tigers are at their home field again with the Toros taking on La Joya and Martin facing Del Rio. Alexander is also on its home field playing New Braunfels Canyon, Nixon plays San Antonio Southwest at LCC South and United South meets Brownsville Hannah at TAMIU. Other guaranteed games were being scheduled for Saturday at press time.
Alexander and United South both got off to 2-0 starts on the opening day of the tournament. After having their first matchup postponed Friday, the Bulldogs attempted to play Tomball at Uni-Trade Stadium but had it canceled due to fog. The Panthers were attempting to get in a night game against Corpus Christi Moody at the SAC.
United remained unbeaten picking up a shutout for the second time in three games and adding its second win on tiebreakers in the tournament. The Longhorns opened the afternoon with a 13-0 rout of SA Brennan. Homero Saldivar locked down the Bears allowing just two hits and two walks with five strikeouts in four innings. Omar Cervantes paced the offense with a grand slam and finished 2-for-3 with five RBIs and two runs. Alan Villarreal, Julio Taboada, Fernando Benavides and Eric Garcia also scored twice and Taboada added three RBIs.
In their second game, the Longhorns tied 1-1 against CC Winn a won on a tiebreaker with a 4-2 edge on runners reaching third base. Oscar Cuello held the Mavericks to a hit, three walks and a run over five innings with three strikeouts and Leo Juarez closed out the final inning. Alan Villarreal went 2-for-3 and scored the only run in the fifth inning. He hit a one-out double, advanced on a double by Taboada and scored on a passed ball.
LBJ fell to 0-3 at the Border Olympics and 1-3 on the season with a 7-2 loss against Weslaco. The Wolves attempted to rally trailing 7-0 in the top of the sixth inning. After an RBI single from Jose Mares, Fernando Garza drew a walk to load the bases with one out. Adrian Sanchez put a 1-2 pitch in play to get another run home, but Weslaco got the force out at third to end the game. Alex Ramirez took the loss allowing seven runs (three earned) off eight hits and a walk in four innings.
Nixon (1-3-1) suffered its second straight loss Friday falling 10-2 in five innings against SA Madison. The Mustangs were hampered by six errors, and Caleb Muniz took the loss allowing six runs on five hits and three walks in 2.2 innings. Nixon's No. 2 and No. 3 hitters provided the bulk of its offense with Oscar Rodriguez and Sergio Reyes each going 2-for-3 with a run. Eddie Andrews and JD Luna both had an RBI, and TJ Rogerio, Antonio Buentello and Spencer Oldham all added a hit.

Censor.NET reports citing Interfax-Ukraine.
As Steinmeier noted answering a question about the legitimacy of the State Duma elections in Crimea, both he and his counterpart Ayrault do not and will not recognize the annexation of Crimea.
Russia's parliamentary elections are scheduled for Sept. 18, 2016. The election campaign is underway in Ukraine's Crimea annexed by Russia in the spring of 2014. The Russian Federation intends to open four polling stations in its diplomatic missions in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa and Kharkiv.
As previously reported, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko instructed Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin to inform the Russian leadership about the impossibility of holding the elections to the State Duma in the Ukrainian territory.
On Sept. 8, 2016, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine appealed to the parliaments of foreign states, international parliamentary assemblies and organizations to not recognize the elections to the State Duma in occupied Crimea and Sevastopol, scheduled for Sept. 18, 2016.
Ukrainian Parliament urges the international community to refrain from participating in monitoring the elections and to not recognize their results under any circumstances.
The Verkhovna Rada also stresses that foreigners who are going to travel to the occupied territory to monitor the illegal elections will face criminal charges for infringement of the rules of entry into the temporarily occupied territory to harm the national interests of Ukraine.

(This post is in no way sponsored, this is my actual opinion on this product! Please ignore these awful photos they will be replaced!)
Ever since the age of eight I've had horrible short straw like hair. I made the stupid decision to cut it just below my ears, and of course hated it. My hair is incredibly frizzy, and just does not do what I would like. Since then I've had a huge self esteem issue, and recently I just couldn't live with it anymore so I went on the hunt for some extensions.
It may sound a bit extreme but I felt so low, that I decided this was the next option for me. I am so glad I choose to, as I am so much happier and confident.
I bought my set from LUSH Hair Extensions, I bought the 20'' Clip In Human Hair Set, and it cost £46.99.. It comes with a set of eight different clips. They were ridiculously long, so I went to a salon and had them cut into more hair, layered and shaped.
I only wear three out of the full set (Two Three Clips and One Four Clip) I start the three clip at the nape of my neck, the next three clip just below my ear and the four clip just above my ear. I normally war my hair as styled above (curly or straightened) and part the front part of my hair and secure with a cute little bow.
I would really recommend this company, they offer a free colour matching service, and also offer a full refund if you are not happy with the product. I received mine the very next day, in perfect condition in beautiful packaging and could not be happier.
I cannot feel the clips unless they very rarely move, then they will pull or itch, but its incredibly easy to fix. I wear the set every day they are REMY Human hair so I wash them as normal (in the sink however) They can be styled as desired including braided or put up, just make sure the clips aren't visible!
I love these, and once they reach the end of their life I will defiantly be repurchasing, really recommend them! I would love to buy the deluxe set next! Really recommend this if you are looking for great quality extensions!
Do you wear hair Extensions?

CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a fairly generic term which is generally applied to the technology, normally software, used to manage a relationship a company has with a specific customer. Big vendors include salesforce.com, SAP & Oracle.
Traditionally it is largely used by companies in the lead up to a sale; but I argue that this is wrong and isn't using it properly. A relationship with a customer doesn't stop once they have purchased an item, it get's more complicated and more important. Although a business may use a CRM system to get the customer to purchase more items this is usually the start of the relationship, particularly where the products being sold are physical rather than service based.
Once a customer has one of your products if you then "manage the relationship" through after-sales, technical support and warranty it's far more likely that they will remain a customer. Using your CRM wisely will help you with this.
Apple's CRM.
The prompt for this post was the experience I recently had in The Apple Store in Solihull. My iPhone was playing up, and I booked an appointment with a "genius" (I hate this term) to see what we could do. It turned out my phone was water damaged (yes, ok, I may have dropped it); and this was causing it to behave erratically. In honesty I expected this was the case.
The genius said that obviously this wasn't covered by warranty. I asked if I could pay to have it repaired and was told they could exchange it for a refurbished, as good as new, unit for circa £150. As I was weighing up the pros and cons of this offer the chap said, "just hold on one minute, let me check the warranty."
He looked up the serial number on Apple's CRM system and said: "You've not had one replaced before have you; ohh, and I can see you bought a new Mac Book Pro 3 months ago, an iPad about 5 months before that, and a new Apple TV this year too…. it would seem a bit unfair of us to charge a loyal customer for a refurb unit."
And as a gesture of good will they replaced my damaged and out of warranty phone with a new one; there and then. Clearly I was very very happy with this.
The Cost Of A Customer.
What this shows is that Apple have adopted a good CRM technology solution which shows the relationship they have with an individual customer instantly in a concise form. More importantly, they have given their customer facing staff the authority to use that data wisely. It's technology + process which equals good CRM.
The employee could see that within the last 12 months I'd spent a considerable amount of money with Apple and that I was a loyal customer; so used this to make a judgement call. Was it worth £150 to Apple to keep me happy? Yes, because the likelihood is that I'll buy more in the future. I will.
Of course some people will argue that Apple can afford to do this because of the high margin it makes on its hardware; while others will argue that it didn't cost them £150 as that was the retail price of the refurbed unit, not the cost of it. But it isn't about the money, it's about the acknowledgement of a relationship with Apple.
Like all relationships it's about give and take. I'll pay their higher hardware prices, live in their walled garden of apps etc, but in return I get cheap OS upgrades and a little bit of love when it comes to my mistakes.
If you've got a CRM then make sure you are using it fully, and your staff are allowed to use it properly. If you don't have one, then get one (don't be put off by high prices from big boys – small business rarely need all their complexity).

An ANC source close to the campaign of Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa to succeed Zuma as party president, said a reshuffle was imminent.
Now there is speculation over who she would replace, with several insiders pointing to either Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies or Energy Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi.
"There's no way she's going to be a backbencher. Zuma is under pressure to make a number of changes (Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi) Zwane, (Communications Minister Ayanda) Dlodlo are prime candidates to be axed and possibly (Public Enterprises Minister Lynne) Brown because of the scandals over state-owned enterprises," said the insider.
According to an ANC Youth League leader who has been campaigning for Dlamini Zuma, he was surprised by Friday's announcement that she would become an MP, saying it would take time away from her campaign.
"The ANC Women's League had already requested in March that she should take up a seat in Parliament. It's likely that she might not take up a cabinet position but will chair one of Parliament's powerful committees like finance, energy or public enterprises," said the youth league leader.
He said Zuma replacing Kubayi "doesn't make sense because she's only recently been appointed".
The sacrificial lambs could be Zwane and Brown even though they have been supporters of Zuma and, by extension, Dlamini Zuma's bid to succeed him.
"Davies was not at the launch of the InvestSA One Stop Shop alongside President Zuma on Thursday even though his department sent out the invites. That was very strange."
One senior ANC MP said the reason for sending Dlamini Zuma to government was to give her access to resources so that she will intensify her campaign.
"This thing (her campaign) is not moving because she is outside (government). When she is inside she will have access to the abundance of state resources," said the MP.
He said Dlamini Zuma could be sent to health and Zuma can remove Aaron Motsoaledi because there have been tensions with him for some time.
Motsoaledi was one of the senior ministers who spoke out against Zuma last year before former Tourism Minister Derek Hanekom proposed a motion of no confidence in the National Executive Committee.
Another senior ANC MP, who chairs a portfolio committee, said Dlamini Zuma was headed for a senior position.
"Obviously, she can't go to Parliament to be a backbencher. This deployment means there is a reshuffling coming. We will see who is taken out," said the ANC MP.
Another senior party MP said it was clear the former home affairs minister was heading back to cabinet.
Independent analyst Professor Sipho Seepe said Dlamini Zuma was too senior a figure in the ANC to be sent to the back benches.
"I thought her not being in cabinet was to be an advantage to her," he said.
Seepe also agreed that Dlamini-Zuma was going to cabinet. "I am surprised she agreed to it because she was in a better position being outside," said Seepe.
He said she could be deployed to Higher Education and Blade Nzimande could be removed because the SACP has been vocal against Zuma.
Yesterday the ANC Women's League welcomed Dlamini Zuma's appointment to Parliament, saying that she would bring a wealth of experience to the legislature and the ANC caucus.
"The ANCWL is confident that Comrade Dr Nkosazana will contribute immensely in making laws that will improve the lives of the people and eradicate the scourge of inequality, unemployment and poverty," said ANCWL secretary-general Meokgo Matuba.
Dlamini-Zuma's move to Parliament had also triggered speculation of the likelihood of Zuma stepping down before his term expires in 2019.
Analyst Professor Bheki Mngomezulu believed this was possible but only after the December conference.
"There is a possibility of him stepping down, but this will rely heavily on who emerges victorious in the conference," said Mngomezulu.
If Dlamini-Zuma won the conference, Mngomezulu said, it would not be wise for Zuma to step down.
"Because this would further exacerbate the claims that he wanted no one but her to succeed him as president. But if any of the other contenders won, it would be wise for Zuma to step down."
This would help in mending the fractured liberation movement, he said.
"There would also be a smooth transition of power, not like the one in 2008 when Thabo Mbeki was recalled."

Lance Briggs to visit the 49ers on Monday
Briggs told Vaughn McClure of ESPNChicago.com that he will visit with the 49ers on Monday. Briggs is from the area and grew up a 49ers fan.
The 34-year-old Briggs was informed by the Bears this year that he won't be back in Chicago, but he says he can "still perform at an elite level." That's debatable, but if Briggs can be anything close to the player he once was, he'd represent a major upgrade for the 49ers. With the retirements of Chris Borland and Patrick Willis, San Francisco desperately needs help at the position.

Feel the African hospitality
They say there is no place like home but Shumba Guesthouse proves this adage wrong.
Located in Pionierspark at 14 Jordan Street, Windhoek, next to Puma Service Station and about 10 minutes drive from the city centre, Shumba Guesthouse and Conferences is truly a convenient place to be, whether you are on a business trip or vacation as it presents a hide-away from the rushed city and business life.
From the very second my colleague and I walked into the premises and received a warm welcome from the Van Wyk family - the owners of the place - I knew we had made a right choice.
Although we arrived a bit late, I was surprised to see the Van Wyks waiting for us so that they could take us through a joint-family dinner; a service not common for a Bed and Breakfast. This brought a homely atmosphere one can only expect from a true African homestead.
A lady, who introduced herself as Althea van Wyk, came and greeted us by our first names before giving me the keys to room number five of the Guesthouse, which is a carpeted family room furnished with three single beds, air conditioner, step-in shower and toilet, built-in cupboards, a kitchenette with a microwave, coffee pot and satellite television screening eight South African channels.
The whole guesthouse is decorated in an African style with images of wild animals sculptured and fitted on doors and walls.
The patio is eye-catching with a bar area paired with a swimming pool with two toilets giving guests a relaxing atmosphere.
Facilities include a cosy television lounge with DStv, a warm eating area leading to a conference room which can cater for around 70 people.
From here one gets a refreshing view into a huge clear blue pool in the courtyard which is normally used during big events.
The courtyard is surrounded by some strategically planted palm trees and a well maintained flower bed complemented with a green loan, which gives the place an African coastal feel to it. This makes it a conducive venue for events such as birthdays, intimate weddings, anniversaries and end of year functions.
The guesthouse courtyard can also be a perfect place for reading and arranging business meetings, whilst appreciating the beauty of nature as it is very quiet and peaceful.
Other facilities and services on offer include; laundry service, barbeque, breakfast, other meals on request as well as internet facilities.

This is the most beautiful flower that I've ever made and worth every penny!!! I was astonished at how pretty it was and that simple little me actually made it!!! I ran the die through my Cuttlebug without problem (read the Cuttlebug directions!!!) and carefully used some ink daubers that I had from another company and followed the picture. I didn't have any glitter at the time and I used embossing powder for the center and it still turned out beautiful. I am anxious to try it again in other colors. My only small problem is that the die comes with two extra "things" that, I guess, are petals....I was a bit confused about them....I guess they are extras to be used at one's discretion. Anyway, BUY the flower!
This flower is beautiful! I have made lots of them since getting mine just last week. I can't seem to quit making them since they are so easy. Look great on cards or scrapbook pages also!!!
This has become one of my favorite dies for use in card making. The petals were highlighted with chalk ink. Very realistic looking.
The photo for this flower is deceiving.
You would actually have to cut twice to get the flower in the picture. The die cuts one three-pronged petal piece, one large single petal, the large centre piece and the smallest centre piece. You would be a few large petals short if you only cut once.
This flower is ok but it doesn't look really great when put together. I was a little disappointed.

Today we have a guest blogger with us, Indie author Julia King. I hope you enjoy getting to know more about her and her debut novel Félicité Found. I am so excited for her. It's been a long time coming. Enjoy!
Twizzlers or Red Vines? Neither, actually. If I'm going to have something sweet, it will have chocolate in it. Well, licorice does have chocolate flavor, so maybe that would work.
What is the best reading experience you have ever had? My best reading experience was turning the pages of the Twilight saga. Why? Well, that was the first stepping stone to my writing journey; those books, along with the Harry Potter books too. I didn't enjoy reading much, but back then I was pulled in and haven't been able to stop reading since. So, in essence, the best reading experience I've had resulted in my affair with words.
Physical book or eBook? I like physical books. It is great to handle them and turn the pages. I do have to say that one of these days I will have to invest in an e-reader so I don't have to pack and carry so many books when I move.
What is your favorite punctuation mark? The emdash. Oh, it is a pretty little lady that links handsome sentences together.
What is your favorite genre to read? Young Adult Paranormal, for sure. I enjoy being swept up in a supernatural story.
What is your greatest fear? To never get married and have children of my own. Yes, a total downer but it's the truth.
How has social media helped you to reach/retain your readers and fan base? Any words of advice? Definitely! If you haven't started a blog or using Twitter or a slew of other social media sites then START NOW! I think the best start is to sign up for Twitter and develop writing relationships.
Please give us a peek into your writing life. How much time each week do you spend writing? In the past I wrote an hour or so a night. As of late, it has been more focused on editing and marketing. I hope to get back to the daily writing routine soon. Is your desk messy or clean? Well, my desk is rather small. More often than not, I plunk down in my banana chair (yes, I've got one of those) and start typing away. Do you have a schedule or are you sporadic? Sporadic. I'd like to get back into a streamlined schedule, or as streamlined as possible. What helps you stay motivated? Right now, my motivation stems from self-publishing. I went through a tough bout of writer's depression (which writer doesn't?). My decision to self-publish has gotten me back into the swing of things.
If you could choose to be a character in a book, who would it be? It would be jolly good fun to be Katarina Bishop from the Heist Society series. Secretly, I would love to work with a clandestine group of spies dabbling in robbery—for a good cause, of course. The author of this series, Ally Carter, has allowed me to become what I have deep down desired to be and it was thrilling, indeed.
They say that reading is essential to writing. How has reading enhanced your writing? It has enhanced it greatly. Whenever I read a book, I try to learn from it while enjoying the story. Novel reading, in my opinion, is an author's textbook. If I could have read young adult novels during college, I might have enjoyed my time there better.
Why did you decide to self-publish? I wanted to take my writing to the next level and self-publishing was the perfect avenue. Needing to get my butt back in the writing zone, I jumped off the unforgivable plateau of nothingness before I gave up on my dreams. And I knew beyond a doubt that this is the right course of action. I'm excited! This is not to say that I have given up on traditional publishing. I have snagged an agent once, and I know I can again. My dream publisher's name will one day grace the spine of one of my books.
Describe Félicité for us. My Félicité is a troubled, mysterious, blond haired girl with amnesia. As she struggles to remember who she is, her past brings back a horrific life. Deep in her heart, she is the kindest person. She loves a boy named Pierre and he loves her back. A lot. And just so you know, Félicité is gorgeous—a triple head turner, if not more.
What inspired the writing of Félicité Found? In 2009, I treated myself to a graduation trip to France and Italy. I fell in love with Paris and when I came home I had dreams laced with the glorious city. One of these vivid dreams turned out to be rather mysterious and stuck with me for weeks. One sleepless night, the dream's inspiration sparked the beginning and end of the story. The next day I was typing away and now it is my pretty little Parisian gem.
Are you working on anything new right now? I'm currently editing a novel, but I've been working on another piece with three other ideas swirling their plots around my mind.
It's your time to pitch the novel to readers. Why should we buy your book? Well, let's just admit it; my book rocks some Parisian romance. No, really, I have longed for this story to be read by the general public. I hope that it will inspire others not only to read, but to write. There is a great power in words. I see that Félicité Found has that power surging within her pages. I adore my little cupcake and hope that you do too. Please, oh pretty please, buy it! With sugar on top, too.
Félicité Found is currently available in paperback and eBook at Amazon and B&N.
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Description: Seventeen-year-old Pierre Rousseaux witnesses a young girl take a near fatal plunge off Pont Neuf Bridge into the freezing water of the River Seine in Paris, France. After diving into the racing river himself, he is able to rescue her from a watery death, but only after her head is bashed into the river wall. Upon reviving her from unconsciousness, Pierre realizes she doesn't remember her past at all.
The girl struggles to recall anything from before she may have tried to commit suicide, not only once but possibly twice. The few glimpses into her life are discovered through dreams that can only suggest her past was horrific and jaded by intense anger.
Her memories may force her to lose everything she has grown to adore, especially the boy she loves more than anything in the world: Pierre.
The girl, Félicité Moreau, must decide if the life she desires is enough to make things from her past right. Pierre struggles to resolve if Félicité means enough to him that he will fight for her, regardless of her past and despite his own personal demons.
With a paranormal twist, Félicité Found is Julia King's debut Young Adult novel—a horrific love story.
Author Bio: Julia King grew up in a town in the happiest county in Utah. She enjoys reading, music (especially U2), the outdoors, and traveling. She appreciates a good television show. She has quite the sweet tooth. It is common for her to squeal up a storm when she sees a dog. Her favorite breed is beagles, and she longs for the day when she can have one of these furry, adorable friends of her own. And she loves conjuring up stories that swirl sweetly in her mind. Well, until they come to life on the page.
