About Me
If you see my images from location shots, it doesn't mean I only do location shots! Portraits? It doesn't mean I do only them! I'm interested in many things!
CHALLENGE ME, PLEASE. I do most things, art to zen, bodypaint to alt.
A creative artist, working co-operatively with models, performers, dancers, actors, musicians, imaginative, adventurous people. For enjoyment, sometimes for money.
I prefer to meet before a shoot and will need your mobile phone, contact and texts beforehand to confirm meetings/shoots. Too many wanabe flakers around, sorry.
Patient and imaginative, I'll work with inexperienced, amateur, first timers and established models who have open minds.
Based in Devon, using studios and locations, like Dartmoor and the Jurassic coast.
I can come to your home, flat or village hall with portable lights, backdrops, props, costume and imaginative, creative ideas and do intimate boudoir, portrait or fashion.
Ongoing personal projects on myths, legends, fairies, goddesses, lolita, warriors, masks, shibari, BDSM, naturism, fine art, high key nude, etc. just ask.
Experimenting constantly with artistic, erotic nude and fetish, but only ask for these if committed and body confident, or bored out of your mind!
TFP for my pleasure and yours, for learning, my site, your site, publication and exhibition. From 2013/14, I would like my expenses and time, but open to negotiation.
If I pay, its expenses only, or a small fee.
I'll try to get you into Bizarre, Playboy or other magazines, pop music videos and films,( but don't expect miracles!)
Do expect genuine help, advice, photos, a lot of fun!
If you know it all, please try someone else.
Available for paid commissioned work, my rates are negotiable, £20/£50ph + expenses.
WHEN CONTACTED, PLEASE REPLY! EMAIL, TEXT, VOICE WITH YOUR MOBILE AND DATES. IT SHOWS COMMITMENT. I'LL ALWAYS REPLY. Sorry too many flakers!
Eventually I'll need your real and model names, location, available days, dates, times, mobile number, email address, for ease of communication, send it straight away and you could be modelling tomorrow!.
I always require 2 forms of ID (1 a photo ID), and a signed model release.
Boring but so much time is wasted by unnecessary calls.
My time and yours is precious. Thanks for reading this so far, if you have.
Worked with many models, over 230 in over 15 years. Ask me who I'd recommend, there are several I'd warn everyone to avoid at all costs and some sites too.
Please ignore all unfounded scandal mongering, gossip and prejudice, meet me personally, form your own opinion by personal contact, please!
Communicate openly, honestly. Too many people around with chips on their shoulders or a desire for world domination.
I NEVER re-book models who no show or late cancel and wish every photographer did the same!

How do we get our small dog to get along with other dogs and children?
Original Question: I love your show and listen to it regularly! I have a problem with my dog that I hope you can help me with. Cody is a Havanese and is 6 years old. When he was a puppy he was very timid. We socialized him a lot the first two years and would bring him regularly to small dog play at the place we brought him for training. He used to hide behind the chairs but slowly improved over time. We brought him everywhere with us. He has two dogs he plays well with. He has never liked big dogs but now he doesn't seem to like small dogs either. He will growl or sometimes he seems to be fine but then he goes all "Cujo". He will snap at them and is always on a leash during walks. He also doesn't like little kids and has snapped before (although never actually bitten). We keep him away from little kids but I really wish he would be able to play with other dogs. We are thinking of adopting another dog (we got Cody from a very reputable breeder) but I don't think we can until he is OK with other dogs. Cody is a low energy dog and is so well behaved at home and gentle with everyone he knows. Could you please give me some advice? And if you think I should bring him to a behaviourist is there someone in the Oakville area you could recommend? Thank you - Nadia
Hi Nadia,
Hello and thanks for reaching out. I can certainly understand the uncertainty and concerns with Cody's problems as I have a dog with his own behavior issues. These can be the most complicated of concerns brought to your veterinarian and are never easy fixes. Certainly a visit to a board certified veterinary behaviorist is always recommended. In the Toronto area, the one behavioral specialist I know is Dr. Gary Landsberg at North Toronto Veterinary Behaviour Specialty Clinic in Thornhill. All that being said, before adding any other dogs I would visit your own vet and make sure there isn't any underlying medical issue causing Cody's issues. Taking Cody to meet any potential dogs, in a neutral area (not your home), may prove to be of benefit to see if they get along. I would never leave the dogs alone if you do bring one home. And if you were looking at either getting one from the breeder or adopting one through a rescue, it would be of benefit to see if there can be a foster trial to see if any issues arise in the home. Ultimately, do what is best for Cody and don't create any additional stress in his life.
I hope this helps!

180 Degree Capital Corp. Anchors Underwritten Public Offering by Sonim Technologies, Inc. and Provides QTD Public Portfolio Update (+32.4% / +$0.35 Per Share)
MONTCLAIR, N.J., June 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 180 Degree Capital Corp. (NASDAQ:TURN) ("180") announced today that it invested approximately $6.9 million in the $27.6 million underwritten public offering by Sonim Technologies, Inc. ("SONM") that closed on June 9, 2020. 180's investment purchased 9,250,000 shares of SONM's common stock at a price per share of $0.75. 180 invested approximately $4.4 million of its capital in the offering, with the remaining $2.5 million invested from its separately managed account. 180 and its managed account collectively own approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of common stock of SONM.
SONM is a provider of ultra-rugged mobility solutions designed specifically for task workers physically engaged in their work environments, often in mission-critical roles. The SONM solution includes ultra-rugged mobile phones, a suite of industrial-grade accessories, and data and workflow applications which are collectively designed to increase worker productivity, communication and safety on the job site.
"We are excited to have the opportunity to act as the anchor investor in SONM's public offering and to be a large shareholder of the company," said Kevin M. Rendino, Chief Executive Officer of 180. "We are especially pleased to be invested in SONM's management team led by its CEO, Tom Wilkinson. My prior fund, RGJ Capital, was a significant shareholder in Tom's prior company, Xplore Technologies Corporation ("XPLR"). Under his leadership, XPLR's business was dramatically improved and the company was ultimately acquired. We have confidence in his abilities as an executive to engineer a similar turnaround at SONM. Lastly, we want to acknowledge Lake Street Capital Markets, one of the joint book-running managers of SONM's offering. Lake Street's underwriting of this transaction positively contributed to our decision to anchor this financing."
"We also are pleased to note the gross total returns of our public portfolio of 32.4%, equivalent to an increase of $0.35 per share, for the quarter to date," added Daniel B. Wolfe, President of 180. "It is too early to predict where we will end the quarter. That said, we believe this performance and the currently estimated increase of $0.27-$0.29 per share from the sale of one of our privately held life science portfolio companies currently position us well for meaningful growth of our net asset value per share in Q2 2020."1

|I've got my eyes on you.
Eyes – Those giant eyes on either side of their triangular heads may seem endearing and quizzical when they slant their heads and look at you, much like when your dog looks at you and tilts his head. However, the mantis's gesture is anything but loving or lovable. Those eyes see in 3D and each has an area in it (the fovea), that allows the insect to focus on and track an object more intently. On top of all that, they have 3 simple eyes in between the big ones. All this is designed to find prey with pinpoint precision. So, if they look at you like that, they are determining the best way to kill you; they're not trying to communicate with you.
|Ghost Mantis
Food – Mantids will attempt to devour nearly anything that they clap eyes on, with one caveat: they only eat live and moving prey. They will eat each other as soon as they hatch and everything from small skittering insects like spiders, to moths, butterflies on up to small lizards and mice (here is a mouse vs. mantis video) and birds. Mantids that hunt birds seem to be exclusively female and seem to have an affinity for the bird brains Scientists have found bird skulls with holes in them after mantis attacks. This is unusual in that usually a mantis will bite the head off a victim right away (to quickly stop the struggling) and then proceed to consume the whole body. Bird brains must be a special treat for a lady mantid.
|Feather Mantis
|Orchid mantis
Camouflage – A huge part of being an ambush predator is being able to hide well and the mantid world is full of experts in the art of concealment. Of the more than 2,000 named species, most of them are found in the tropics. This explains why there are so many mantid varieties that look like beautiful flowers.
|Spiny Flower Mantis
Relatives – If you aren't freaked out by mantids by now, this may do the trick: they are close relatives of the cockroach. And termites. As John Abbott, chief curator and director of Museum Research and Collections at the University of Alabama, "So, basically you can think of termites as social roaches and praying mantises as predatory roaches".
And now for some comic relief: Praying Mantids aren't quite as ferocious as this picture on the left or as shown in this silly video (at least not to us humans), but they are decidedly terrifying in the insect world.
Having said all this, I encourage to explore the intriguing world of the Praying Mantis. Put some in your garden (though not immediately after introducing beneficial insects) or bring an egg case (ootheca) home or to your classroom and wait for them to hatch. The babies are pretty cute. Information on hatching and how to buy can be found here.

text: Awards Miley Cyrus Admits She Can't Spell Boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger's Last Name The Grammy nominee also says she's way more "centered" than media portrays By Andrea Billups Published on January 23, 2015 02:25 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: X17online Miley Cyrus admitted that she has no clue how to spell her famous boyfriend's tough last name. "I can't tell you, apparently there's not a 'T' in it," Cyrus, 22, said when asked Friday by Good Morning America's Cameron Mathison about how she might spell current love interest Patrick Schwarzenegger's difficult moniker. Cyrus went on the show to promote her new MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam campaign, which donates 100 percent of proceeds from her lipstick to the MAC AIDS fund. She also shared her passion for working at the Los Angeles LGBT Center. The "Wrecking Ball" singer defended herself as a role model for youth, noting that what she promotes is acceptance. "What is important to teach people is that … you can't judge other people," she said, adding that she, too, has been unfairly criticized. "I'm not the way that people try to make me seem … I don't go around just trashing hotel rooms and partying, that I'm actually working on, you know, music that I love and being involved in things that I love," Cyrus told GMA. Cyrus also said she was "stoked" by her Grammy Award nomination but that she doubts she'll win. And in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she said her actions are often wrongly portrayed in media, making her seem wild. "I think people try to make me seem a lot less centered than I am," Cyrus said. "You make choices and sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong just like in life. [My choices] are magnified and people kind of try to make you seem out of control when actually I'm a pretty happy, centered person that likes to do a lot of things for people. I'm not driven by just my own self and wanting more."

Things about the Arizona Coyotes and the NHL that crossed my mind this past week –
Instead of being serious all the time and writing a commentary or an opinion piece we will jot down some random musings once a week. It might be a mix of serious, playful or maybe even a little sarcastic but it should be fun. If you have answers please let us know.
1. Isn't it awesome to see the Arizona Coyotes ownership spend some money on arena improvements. Well done!
2. Who do you think is the Arizona Coyotes #1 center? Vermette or Hanzal? Or somebody else?
3. What ever happened to 2008 first round draft pick Viktor Tikhonov?
4. Do you think the NHL should expand or concentrate on strengthening their current franchises?
5. Where would you like to see the NHL expand to if you had a VOTE?
6. My NHL expansion relocation preferences. 1. Seattle 2. Quebec City 3. Southern Ontario (GTA) 4. Las Vegas 5. Houston
7. I think Gary Bettman and the owners are getting greedy talking about expanding by 4 teams
8. I think it would be quite interesting to have a NHL team in Las Vegas but not my 1st choice. (see question #6)
9. Who do you think is the Arizona Coyotes #1 defenceman? Ekman-Larsson or Yandle? Or somebody else?
10. If the NHL expands aren't they going to need to realign the conferences again or is than not a major issue for now?
Some of these questions are serious, some are just tongue in cheek and some are me just being a _________. (you fill in the blank)
If you have any thoughts on any of these questions please let me know. I am a curious person by nature and I need answers. Thanks, Mitch Use the "Comment Section" below.

Speaking to the World
Boston | Chicago | San Diego | Atlanta
Editorial Director of Protocol
Emily Dreyfuss is the editorial director of Protocol, a new tech news publication from the publisher of Politico. Previously, she was a senior writer and editor at WIRED and the senior programing manager at CNET. As a 2018 Harvard Nieman-Berkman Klein fellow, Emily studied how the internet changes the historical record. Her work has appeared in Pop-Up Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Week. During the 2016 presidential election, she led WIRED's National Affairs coverage. Prior to that, she managed and edited WIRED Opinion and WIRED Security sections. Read More >
Dreyfuss began her journalism career in 2005 as a beat reporter for a small-town newspaper in Connecticut. She transitioned to covering technology after moving to San Francisco and joining CNET, where she co-created the popular podcast Rumor Has It. Dreyfuss has a bachelor's degree in English from Wesleyan University. She lives in Boston with her husband, who is a neuroscientist, and their young son.
Her area of expertise is not in any one specific area of technology, but rather, how technology permeates every aspect of life from how we talk to each other to how we work and how we raise our children. Dreyfuss is passionate about language and the ways in which it shapes and is shaped by the invisible forces in society and technology. In her own experience, Dreyfuss uses a robotic counterpart to interact with her San Francisco based office. This is just one example of the innovative use of technology that Dreyfuss is "wired" into and is able to share with others. She has appeared on the BBC, NBC News, PBS, and NPR. Dreyfuss has been a featured speaker for multiple tradeshows and conventions, including the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas where next-generation technologies are introduced to the consumer.
Whether she is sharing insights about the latest breakthroughs in technology, cutting-edge innovations in cybersecurity, the usefulness of robotic counterparts in the office, or the barriers for women who are at the precipice of breaking through the glass ceiling, Emily Dreyfuss is an irreverent, knowledgeable and a compelling keynote speaker. She currently lives in San Francisco. Read Less ^
My Life as a Robot
From discoveries in science, cybersecurity and the SIM card in your smart phone, technology impacts virtually every aspect of our lives. In this talk, Dreyfuss will challenge you to reach outside your own comfort zone to see how technology seeps into every part of life. She breaks down the ways that can help and hinder, and offers tips for managing and being aware of technology's impact. She is a brilliant and compelling story-teller with a keen understanding of the omnipresence of technology and what that means for the future.
The debate of whether robots can replace humans has been a concern for decades, but there is a fundamental shift when today's robots have become less of a threat and more of an extension of us. Telepresence robots have advanced to the point that they can change work options. In this talk, Dreyfuss explains how robots allow us to be remotely involved, interacting with co-workers and the unexpected psychological attachment humans can develop with their robots. It's a compelling, light-hearted discussion about having a robotic counterpart in the workplace and the ground rules to consider. Dreyfuss mixes personal experience with data to give meaningful advice.
Balancing family and work life is challenging enough for every woman. As a Senior Writer for WIRED, Dreyfuss has broken the glass ceiling as both a female journalist and a woman who has her finger on the pulse of technology trends. In this talk, Dreyfuss discusses the realities of achieving a "Work-Life" balance, from gender roles, salaries, and balancing family while staying on top of the latest innovations in technology.
The success of any company can be traced back and attributed to its people. Sharing insights from your employees helps everyone. "If you are excited for those around you to succeed and you do everything in your power to make it so, it lifts the whole team up. That's my working philosophy," Dreyfuss says. In this talk, Dreyfuss will inspire with her thoughtful and down to earth self. She will leave your audience with important wisdom for developing a mindset of lifting the ideas and insights of all staff members, and how that critical shift can make the team and company flourish.

Letter Carriers gear up for 25th annual 'Stamp Out Hunger' food drive
WASHINGTON—Pickup day may be a month and a half away, but the Letter Carriers are already gearing up for their 25th annual "Stamp Out Hunger" food drive, the largest one-day collection of donated food for the hungry in the U.S.
Last year's drive broke prior records, with more than 80 million pounds of food collected and distributed to pantries, food banks, homeless shelters, religious institutions and other charitable groups that feed the hungry, said Letter Carriers Community Outreach Coordinator Pam Donato, the drive's director. This year's drive is on May 13.
This year, there are a few new twists to add to the tons of food flowing in, she says.
One, available to Letter Carriers, their allies – including the AFL-CIO, the Rural Letter Carriers and the United Food and Commercial Workers – and postal customers is a one-stop online shop to order wearable and promotional food drive-related items, such as T-shirts, hats and buttons. The items come from a unionized promotional firm in the D.C. suburbs, and are at www.stampouthungerstore.com. The drive's overall site is www.stampouthunger.com.
There are also English and Spanish public service ads, which will run in a national campaign promoting the food drive. The downloadable ads are in each Letter Carriers' branch's food drive tool kit, Donato says. Branch food drive coordinators can alert local media.
Donato also offered other ideas for broadening the scope of the food drive:
• Be a liaison to local community groups, religious institutions, veterans groups and middle and high schools. "They're all fantastic places to find organization, compassion, energy and muscle" to help collect the food for the needy.
• Speak out about the food drive in public, including at city council meetings and by letters to local editors.
• Hang up posters – also in the branch's food drive kit – and erect lawn signs.
• Recruit a local business to sponsor food drive bags. Past results show sponsored bags vastly increase food collections.
• Create a local "wall of honor" with pictures from food drive activities, to acknowledge and thank the Letter Carriers and other volunteers who participate.
The net result of all this, says Letter Carriers President Fredric Rolando, will be even more food for those who need it the most.
"Letter Carriers see many" of the hungry "along our routes each day," he told the Postal Record. "Our food drive can make a positive difference in the lives of those who have been dealt difficult hands."

New Newport marathon could 'boost economy by £1.1m'
- Published
A new marathon in Newport has the potential to generate £1.1m for the local economy in the next three years, according to a council report.
About 10,000 runners have signed up for ABP Newport Wales Marathon and a 10k race on 29 April.
Organisers Run 4 Wales estimate there will be a crowd of 20,000 people who the council said would boost traders.
Newport council is being asked to pay £90,000 towards the race until it is expected to be self-sufficient by 2020.
The Welsh Government has agreed to provide up to £120,000 over the same period, said the report.
The new marathon comes after the organisers had tried to hold a marathon in Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan in 2017 but could not settle on a route.
Boss Matt Newman said Newport offered the "perfect landscape" for a flat, fast race.
Newport's half marathon was cancelled twice this year because of snow and then freezing conditions, with no feasible date found to run it in 2018.
The report said: "The initial agreement is for support over a three year period only, by which time the event should be self-sufficient and sustainable without a need for additional public funding."
Newport council's cabinet is due to discuss the funding bid with additional race support from local authority officials at a meeting next week.
Run 4 Wales chief executive Matt Newman said he hoped the marathon and 10k could become a "permanent fixture" on the Welsh sporting calendar.
"The city of Newport and the surrounding areas provides the perfect landscape for a flat, fast route for elite and novice runners alike," he added.
Associated British Ports is the race's title partner.
Run 4 Wales, a not-for-profit business set up in 2012 to develop the Cardiff Half Marathon, runs a host of other events and invests profits in sporting activities.
Last year's Cardiff Half Marathon became a 25,000 sell-out for the first time.

Construction of a new waterfront conservation area in Mississauga's Lakeview community, called the Lakeview Waterfront Connection (LWC) project, is scheduled to start in 2016. The project team (Credit Valley Conservation, the Region of Peel and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority) have identified a new construction access route that will result in a more streamlined construction process with fewer impacts to the public.
The new route is subject to an amendment to the project's environmental assessment (EA), which was approved on May 27, 2015. The route identified in the EA ran through the Arsenal Lands in the southeast corner of Mississauga, and a portion of Etobicoke's Marie Curtis Park. The proposed new route will run along the eastern boundary of the Ontario Power Generation (OPG) lands, where the Lakeview Power Generating Station once stood.
Agencies and individuals are encouraged to comment on the proposed new construction access route. Details of the EA amendment can be accessed online at http://lakeviewwaterfrontconnection.ca.
The review period begins Friday, November 27, 2015 at noon and ends January 4, 2016. Comments must be submitted in writing only, on or before January 4, 2016. To submit comments via an easy online form, visit http://lakeviewwaterfrontconnection.ca/contact.

DENVER – After hearing the media wasn't allowed inside Denver Public Schools during the first day of the strike, Joe McComb and other student journalists at Thomas Jefferson High School decided to be the eyes and ears of the community.
"People have the right to hear and see the truth," McComb said. "Seeing for a lot of people is believing."
They spent parts of their day scurrying from class to class, getting a pulse of what was happening, snapping photos of a packed auditorium, and students playing board and video games in front of substitute teachers.
"Upperclassman were stuck in the auditorium for 45 minutes to an hour not doing anything," said Erin Maloof.
Maloof described the halls towards the beginning of the day as "total chaos." The group shared different stories about how their subs ultimately gave up trying to command attention in the classroom.
McComb said the worksheets passed out by DPS employees and subs didn't pertain to what they were learning in class, and were too general.
"School really was a joke today," McComb said. "Teachers took attendance and after that a lot of students, especially seniors just walked right out the doors."
Members of the TJ Journal, the school newspaper, went from classroom to classroom counting heads.
They got a head count and asked teachers how many students were supposed to be in the class, how many showed up, and how many stuck around after lunch. Those numbers can be found below.

Makeup Revolution Fast Base Stick Foundation Review
Hola beauties, I hope you're doing well and had a fantastic holiday! I feel like my brain has been running a million miles an hour, December was an absolutely crazy month for me. These next few weeks are going to be extremely busy at work too. I miss my old part time work schedule where I worked from 2pm-6pm everyday. I had lots of time to work on my blog…View Post

By The Food Tease on November 20, 2015
Travelling to different destinations, travellers have the opportunity of being exposed to exotic flavors and dishes that can take them away to new levels of food euphoria.
But imagine what it would be like to travel around the world and literally be on a culinary voyage…well now you can.
The 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel, a AAA Four-Diamond full-service resort located on the beautiful St. Lawrence River is offering their guests an exceptional evening of wining and dining with dishes inspired by the worlds 7 continents.
The hotel's Executive Chef, Patrick Leibacher, a chef with an impressive resumé of diverse culinary training is at the helm of this taste bud expedition.
Having read about "The 7 Continents Dinner", I wanted to know more about how the dinner came to be. Chef Leibacher explained that he created this dinner to bring something new and unique to New York's North Country and the Thousand Islands region, and to give people something to look forward to during the lull of the post-holiday season.
Chef Leibacher explained that he "wanted to create a festive, multi-course meal that stretched beyond a standard wine-paired dinner, and started thinking about fun themes that could highlight interesting ingredients and perhaps introduce people to different types of cuisine from around the world".
I've always loved sharing my travel experiences with guests through food.
The source of inspiration for the dinner: While growing up in Europe, Chef Leibacher had the opportunity to live in several different countries and was exposed to many types of cultures and cuisine. "I knew I wanted to create a meal that consisted of seven courses, so designing a menu around the seven continents was a natural fit.
Date and Time: Friday, January 22, 2016 6:00 pm
Where: 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel, 200 Riverside Dr, Clayton, NY 13624, United States
Dinner cost: $79 per person
Reservations: are required as seats are limited. Please call Heather at 315-686-1100 ext. 7012.
Special Package: The 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel is offering a special package in conjunction with this event: dinner for two and overnight accommodations starting at $267 (US funds, plus tax and service charges).
No need for passports to enjoy this 'around the world' culinary trek, just a healthy appetite and a sense of adventure! What more could we want…a great dinner paired with tantalizing wines all set at the beautiful venue of the 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel.
Bon voyage!

What Our Guests Have to Say
Two weeks
and still not long enough. We made so many friends. Lots to do. We love it and have already booked for next year
Aug. 2021
Our seventh year
coming to your beautiful waterfront getaway, but the first year we had a boat. We enjoyed exploring and hope to do more in the future. There was a lot of dock jumping and ocean swimming this year. The water was warm enough for us to just jump in. Having a week at your condo is one of our few family traditions and we have so many special memories. Thank you for sharing it with us once again.
July 17, 2021
Had a marvelous time!
Enjoyed your million dollar view. Beds were super comfy. Cross breeze made even the hottest days comfortble. Thanks for everything!
June 2021
Another wonderful Anniversary
June 11, 2021
Two blissful days
The cozy comfort of this condo was the retreat we needed to totally relax and heal with the views the energy of the sea and the quiet which we enjoyed so much. Canoeing was such a pleasure to be paddling again. Special thanks to our hosts Dennis and Marcia. It was so very hard to leave!
May 18 2021
Lovely Stay
Even in the rain. Hope to come back soon.
April 15, 2021

We had so much fun
Even though it was a short stay, it was worth it!
On the night of the 26th the almost full moon lit up everything. Unfortunately it was cloudy the next night. Another amazing stay

January 16, 2021
Thanks for having your condo available through these crazy times. We appreciate the break from home this winter. The weather was wet, but we still managed to get out on the many trails and explored areas that we hadn't spent any time on the in the past. Our favorite Gulf Island is Gabriola. So happy to have spent a day over there exploring our favorite parks. Drumbeg Park is spectacular.

So much fun
We were fortunate to be able to spend a lovely and relaxing month in this condo. Enjoyed the ocean view and our many walks. The counter was perfect for me to set up my card making supplies and I was able to make and mail my Christmas cards. We did enjoy our time here and hope to come back in the future.

Home away from home
Your condo felt like a "home away from home"
The weather was lovely for the first three days!
Love the views, our walks, especially Heron Park a short walk down the road. Thank you!

Great Visit
Our first but not our last. Everything co operated, had a wonderful time.
Marlene and Dennis
Sept. 30, 2020
Fabulous location
Judy and I had a "girls getaway" in the middle of the second wave of Covid. We felt very safe here and everyone was careful keeping socially distant and keeping things clean. That's probably why Vancouver Island has the lowest infection rate. Even though the forecast as for rain and wind, we only got rained on once in the morning while beach combing. We had a lovey time and will definitely be back
Long awaited getaway
Continued from Sylvia
The condo was a most wonderful surprise. What a lovely location. Absolutely the best. Felt like home. We had so much fun exploring your great island. Would love to come back and will for sure recommend your condo to our friends. Thanks so much for sharing your home. L Everything was clean and comfy. Nest time would love to be brave and take the canoe out. Loved the second bedroom upstairs Nice to have your own private area to relax in. Thanks again.
Judy and Sylvia Sept. 23
This location is fabulous
We have been blessed with fantastic weather and have SO enjoyed the view of the ocean and sunrises. So much bird life and sounds.
The pool has been fun and the local walks are perfect. The Condo is awesome and very comfortable beds. Thank you Dennis and Mrs. Dennis
Garth and Linda Sept. 9 2020
What a perfect spot
Our family had the best time exploring, playing games and using all of the amazing amenities here. We learned how to crab, dig for clams and ate big seafood feasts. We can't wait to come back next summer.
The Boyer Family
Aug. 8 2020
Another Fabulous Week
It gets better every year! The weather cooperated and we enjoyed the pool, the beach and nightly campfires. Thank you Dennis and Marcia for sharing your beautiful condo with our family.

Great 60th wedding anniversary
Our unit was spotless and well equipped. We enjoyed the pool and the helpfulness of the staff at all times. The view was amazing and location great for us as we are only an hour or so from home on Salt Spring. We just wanted to get a away and do nothing for a few days and this place fit the bill.
June 8 – 12 2020
Girls Getaway
We had a fabulous 3 generation girl's weekend! The condo was equipped with everything we need including a beautiful view of the ocean. Morning coffees outside watching the beach life was the best! The kids and adults alike made use of the gorgeous pool. We play tennis and enjoyed the park for the kids. The other guests/owners we very lovely. We went to Chemainus and went to the theatre as well as out for lunch at the Willow Street Cafe. We all wanted to stay a week longer.... can't wait to go back:-) Adrienne
May 27, 2019
Awesome place
Dennis was very kind and helpful. The check in was easy. We enjoyed many sunny mornings in the patio and even got up early to see the sunrise. Being so close to the dock was wonderful. The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay and meeting other guests. We would definitely consider staying here again if we ever came back to visit Vancouver Island.
Wonderful getaway
We had a wonderful Easter vacation at this beautiful island getaway. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The suite is large and comfortable. The second bedroom with bunk beds will be great for us to bring our grandchildren with us next time. The view is amazing. This was the perfect home base for our daily excursions and explorations of the wonders of Vancouver Island. Thank you Dennis for being so accommodating and easy to work with. Looking forward to returning in the future.
Business Trip
We didn't spend a lot of time at the place. But the views were spectacular and it was definitely a breath of fresh air after a long hard day. The place has everything you can need. Lots of room and beds. Dennis was great
Truly amazing!
This is such an amazing little gem of a place. Inn of the Sea is like a sweet retreat but Dennis's 109 and 209 are the icing on the cupcake. What a view! We had the opportunity to see Orcas three times right out the front window. Everything was beyond our expectations for the entire seven days.
Beautiful view!
This vacation rental is located in an area with great walking paths. The condo is well maintained, well equipped and spacious. The condo development included a swimming pool and laundry facilities. It was a very positive experience.
Beautiful views & all the comforts of home.
Views are even more spectacular than what the pictures show. This property was very clean and has all of the amenities of home. You will want for nothing. The owner provided us with detailed instructions to locate and use the property ensuring we had everything we needed for our stay. We highly recommend this property and will use it again. Keith
Very quiet & relaxing - just what we needed
We are giving this place a 5 star because it really is a lovely peaceful spot. The condo had everything we needed. The view is great and although we stayed here in January and the weather was cold, the rain held off and we were able to have our morning coffee out on the patio. Hot tub was great amidst the fresh air.

My Sisters and I absolutely loved our stay. The condo was clean and had everything we needed to stay cozy and visit. The view from the balcony and deck are both equally amazing. I would definitely book this unit every time I am on the Island.
Thank you Dennis:)

Amazing place to leave your cares behind!
Our family of 5 can never get enough of this amazing oceanfront getaway. Nothing compares to the stunning views, beautiful amenities and cozy condo. So many things to see and do nearby but we are just as happy to stay onsite and enjoy every minute of our time together in this wonderful setting. Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful home away from home with us. We couldn't ask for anything more!

Fall stay
Was an awesome stay. We hiked, biked and kayaked with the dolphins. The owners where very helpful.
Jacque M.
Sep 2018
The condo was remarkably comfortable. The view was fantastic. But the best part was the owner. I have never had an owner anywhere be so helpful and attentive. From the moment I reserved Dennis was in contact and made everything so easy. This was an exceptional experience beginning to end. The only bad part was leaving.

Paradise Vacation
We stayed at the Inn of Sea from August 25 - September 1. This is the third time we have stayed at the Inn of the Sea. But we loved Dennis Thompson's condo best because it was on the ground floor. We definitely preferred the ground floor. It stayed very cool and there was less noise. We still had an amazing ocean view. We had two of our grandchildren with us and they loved the upper floor bedroom because they had their own space. The kids loved swimming every day and playing tennis. We found the condo was a home away from home. It was very well equipped. Dennis was very accommodating. One of our highlights was going into Ladysmith for cinnamon buns at the Old Towne Bakery. Of course we always have to have Robert's Pizza one night. We also enjoy going to the Crow and Gate before the grandkids arrive. I could never get tired of the view and I enjoyed my morning coffee sitting outside just taking it all in. I would recommend this condo to my friends and we will definitely come back. It was a very relaxing vacation. We created memories for the grandkids and plus ourselves.

July 2018
The views are exceptional and the coastline was wonderful to potter across the rocks. One evening I spent nearly an hour watching a sea otter in the bay and we also saw seals and eagles. Despite the complex being very busy, as it was Canada day weekend, we loved it. Dennis Thompson called us on the first evening and offered some helpful suggestions as to where to go and where to eat. We enjoyed walking part of the Cowichin River, Englishman River Falls, Parksville and Chemainus. We ate at the Crow and Gate pub that was more English than anything we have seen in England. However, most of Dennis's other recommendations to eat were closed as it was the holiday weekend. In the end the Inn of the Sea did not disappoint at all as the location won us over. We moved onto Victoria after our 5 days to complete our journey exploring the southern part of this wonderful Vancouver Island.

Had an excellent time! Beyond our expectations!
Owners were friendly and extremely accommodating. We look forward to our next visit. Thank you Dennis.

Seclusion, peace and a touch of heaven!
This 2BR/2BA 2 floor condo is right on the beautiful shores of Stuart Channel. The owners have made this a "home from home" vacation experience. The unit is well equipped with everything you need from fully equipment kitchen and all the linens and towels you need. The living room has a fireplace and new HD TV. The lower patio and 2nd floor balcony off the upper bedroom affords unbelievable bay views. The complex has a heated pool and spa, private dock, waterside grill areas, tennis court and volleyball/badminton field. The owners of this unit have a canoe that is available for use during your stay. Dennis called us the first night we arrived to make sure we had settled in and made several excellent suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants.
If you are looking for that perfect location away from those typical noisy and overpopulated vacation spots, then Inn of the Sea is the perfect destination.

Beautiful views! Everything we could need!!
Loved our stay, the ocean views were amazing. The condo had everything we could need. It was comfortable and clean! Will definitely be back!!
Patricia R
It is a great condo on the water with a fantastic view! There is lots of room with 2 couches and 2 lounge chairs, with a big screen TV and computer. We especially enjoyed taking out the canoe for a few hours. We also saw 4 or 5 sea otters playing on the end of the boat launch. The condo is centrally located near Nanaimo so you can explore the island in several directions. We would definitely go there again!

When is the right time to go freelance?
Updated: May 18, 2020
Before going freelance, there will be tonnes of questions you'll be asking yourself.
Will I get enough clients to earn a decent salary?
Is now the right time?
Will I like working for myself?
How should I get started?
... to name a few.
I've always wanted to work for myself and set up my own business. But had my husband not secured a job in the US, I might never have taken the plunge. In a sense, the decision was made for me. I had to leave my company of over 8 years and find a new way to generate income! And there are a few things I picked up along the way which might be helpful for others thinking of going freelance.
In the words of Baz Lurman's 'Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)' - I will dispense this advice now...
But first... a bit of background
I studied design at Shillington College in 2018. I studied part-time alongside my full-time job, which was kinda mental, but it meant I could afford the course fees.
After graduating from Shillington, my salary as a Marketing Manager meant I wasn't quite ready to pack that in and enter into the world of a junior designer, so I started freelancing alongside my current role for almost a year.
My plan at that time was that I wanted to save, keep my skills sharp and get more experience before hopping over into the design industry full-time. I'm not going to lie, it was a seriously hectic time. I was no stranger to 6am starts and post-midnight finishes. BUT... this helped me gain some new design skills, and helped build my online presence and portfolio whilst ensuring I had a steady income. And ultimately set me up to go freelance. Priceless.
Tips for starting out
Start slowly...
If you can.
Start freelancing or getting experience whilst you have some secure income.
Design software, training, getting set up (branding, web costs) etc can be expensive, so make sure you are comfortable enough to do it properly.
Be organised
Have processes in place for invoicing, recording receipts, sign-off - and keep your folders and design files in good order.
Trust me.
When you have a few things on the go at once, knowing where everything is will save you a shed load of time. Thank you, Shillington for insisting we did this!!!
Work on personal projects
There will be times that you don't always have paid work coming in and it's important to keep your skills sharp.
Instagram is a great place to pick up practice briefs if you need them. I'm also starting to revisit some of my Shillington assignments that didn't make it into my portfolio. Try and always have a project on the go!
Charge realistically, but don't undersell yourself
Honestly? This one is hard.
I am still working out how much to quote/charge people - and figuring out how long jobs realistically take to complete. This comes with time, so don't beat yourself up if this takes a while to nail down. Expect to do more hours than you initially quote while you figure it out.
But, know your worth!
The amount of discounts I have given, even when clients haven't asked for one, is insane. Mainly because I was embarrassed to tell clients that jobs were going to cost a lot, or they were friends of friends and I knew they probably couldn't afford me at full rate. But I vowed that this would happen no more! If you charge the right amount, it makes a difference in the long run. It means that when you need a day of admin, sorting out your instagram feed or balancing the books (all stuff you can't charge a client for but have to do!), you have enough dollar to keep you going.
And be wary of those who ask you to do jobs for 'free exposure'. It's no secret in the design world that this happens A.LOT. It's true. Be careful!
Things you will miss
Straight up... being freelance is great. You are your own boss, you make the decisions and you have freedom over what you do and how you do it, but it's not all rosey. It's also really tough and I miss these things errrryday.
Holiday pay!
OMG.... And sick pay. And furlough income! And (for the women amongst us) giving up the prospect of a decent maternity package.
If you go from working at a company, to being a freelancer these might be things you don't consider in full at the start. Call me naive, but I certainly didn't.
Make sure you price yourself accordingly so you can afford to take time off if you need it, and make sure you are comfortable with, and prepared for, these changes before setting out.
A team
Oh my GOD, I miss my team back in London. I love working with people and seriously miss collaborating with others to deliver a project or campaign.
To counter this since going freelance, I've been talking to a lot of my fellow design graduates, as well as colleagues involved in content creation at my old company.
It feels great to speak to other people about their work, and keeping connected to the industry. Find people you can do this with. It makes a huge difference.
Oh, and look for networks. I follow so many creative collaboration groups online, and companies that put on events for creatives.
Free coffee in the office ;)
I never fully appreciated this. But I sure do now!
And having people offer to make you a brew. It's all down to you now.
Having people to bounce ideas off
I think my husband is one day away from telling me to 'bugger off'. I try to get his opinion on everything - mood boards, idea generation, concepts, strategy for pretty much all the projects I work on. He is an Officer in the British Army and couldn't be less interested in this stuff. But since lock down, he's the only person I can sit down with face-to-face and discuss things with. Poor guy.
Of course, good online networks and personal connections mean you can call on others for feedback, but there's something really powerful about having a face-to-face discussion about your work, so seek out ways to do this, and don't just self critique.
I hope these little insights have been helpful! And good luck to anyone considering going freelance. I'd love to hear from you if you are :)

The Effect of the Wenchuan and Lushan Earthquakes on the Size Distribution of Earthquakes along the Longmenshan Fault

- 5College of Data Science, Taiyuan University of Technology, China, 030024
Abstract. Changes in the stress state of faults and their surroundings is a highly plausible mechanism explaining earthquakes interaction. These stress changes can impact the seismicity rate and the size distribution of earthquakes. However, the effect of large earthquakes on the earthquake size distribution along the Longmenshan fault has not been quantified. We evaluated the levels of the b value for the stable state before and after the large earthquakes on 12 May 2008 (Wenchuan, MS 8.0) and 20 April 2013 (Lushan, MS 7.0) along the Longmenshan fault. We found that after the mainshocks, the size distribution of the subsequent earthquakes shifted toward relatively larger events in the Wenchuan aftershock zone (b value decreased from 1.03 to 0.84), and generally remained invariable in the Lushan aftershock zone (b value remained at 0.76). The time required for the b value to return to stable states after both mainshocks were entirely consistent with the time needed by the aftershock depth images to stop visibly changing. The result of the temporal variation of b values show decreasing trends for the b value before both large earthquakes. Our results are available for assessing the potential seismic risk of the Longmenshan fault as a reference.

Legal News & Analysis – Asia Pacific – China – Labour & Employment
On 7 May 2014, Beijing Municipal High People's Court and Beijing Municipal Labour Dispute Arbitration Committee jointly issued Meeting Minutes (II) of the Seminar on Application of Law in Labour Disputes ("Meeting Minutes II"). The following summarizes local specifics worth highlighting.
Being a student does not disqualify an individual from establishing an employment relationship. The nature of the relationship between a student and a company shall be assessed according to the specific situation. In general, an employment relationship will not be upheld for internships 1) which a student completes according to his/her school's arrangement or 2) which he/she engages in social practice activities on his/her own initiative. However, if the student works for the company in the name of an internship, an employment relationship will be established.
Written Form Requirement On Employment Contract
In general, Chinese labour law requires an employer to conclude an employment contract in written form with a new employee within one month from work commencement. This written form requirement extends to contract renewal. In case of non-compliance, the employee will be entitled to double salary and/or an open term contract depending on when a written contract is finally concluded. Beijing court in its new Meeting Minutes II clarified some related issues.
Special Cases For Written Form Requirement
Management Personnel
A claim made by senior management personnel or the head of HR for double salary will not be upheld if his/her employer can prove that the management of employment contract conclusion is part of the aforedsaid employee's duties. However, if there is evidence to prove that the employer has rejected the employee's request for the conclusion of a written employment contract, the claim for double salary will be upheld.
By contrast, the Beijing courts will not uphold a legal representative's claim for double salary due to failure to conclude a written employment contract.
Continuing Work After Expiration Of Contract
In general, if an employee continues work after the expiration of a contract, a written employment contract must also be concluded for the new working period. In case of non-compliance, the grace period of one month for liabilities to arise (which applies to new employment) does not apply and liabilities of his/her employer will arise as of the day immediately following the expiration. Consequently, the employee will be entitled to double salary for a period (up to 12 months) from this day to the day before a written contract is concluded.
Some employment contracts may provide for an extension upon expiration of the initial term without specifying the term of the extension. If an employee holding such a contract continues to work after the expiration of the initial term while neither the employer nor the employee asserts termination or expiration, it shall be deemed that they have concluded a new contract with the same terms and conditions (including the term) as those of the previous contract. In such case, the employee's claim for double salary will not be upheld.
Double Salary
The double salary consists of 100% salary which the employee should receive during the period when there is no written contract (of up to 11 months for new employee and 12 months for existing employee in the case of continuing work as mentioned above) and additional 100% salary as the punitive compensation. The statute of limitation for claiming the punitive compensation is 1 year. This one-year is measured backwards from when the claim is raised.
Two-Fixed-Term-Contract Rule For Open Term Contract Entitlement
Under Chinese law, if an employee has concluded two fixed-term contracts with an employer (as of 2008), the employee is entitled to an open term contract. The Beijing Meeting Minutes II further clarifies the following issues:
- Upon expiration of the second fixed-term contract, Beijing employers have no right to decide whether or not to renew the contract (unless one of the statutory situations for dismissal applies). At the request of an employee, a Beijing employer must renew the contract and the contract term has to be an open term.
- If a third fixed-term employment contract is concluded following the expiration of the second fixed-term contract, upon expiration of this third contract and at the request of the employee, the Beijing employer must renew the contract and the contract term has to be an open term.
- If the employer and the employee agree to extend the expiration date of an employment contract, whether or not the extension will be deemed as a separate fixed-term contract depends on its expiration date. If the new expiration date is earlier than the original expiration date, the extension will be considered as an amendment to the original term and will not be deemed as a separate fixed-term contract. If, however, the new expiration date is later than the original expiration date, the extension will be deemed as a separate fixed-term contract. Consequently, the above two-fixed-term-contract rule for open term contract entitlement applies.
- If fixed-term contracts provide for an extension of a fixed period upon expiration of the initial term and this contract is actually extended, upon expiration of the extension and at the employee's request, the employer must conclude an open term contract with him/her.

Electric cars, although less dangerous than thermal ones in the event of accidents, create new challenges for firefighters.
As we already know, in the event of an accident, an electric vehicle will catch fire much less easily than its thermal equivalent, which by definition has a tank of several tens of liters of fuel. But when the first is affected at the level of its battery, which requires a very serious impact, we can witness a phenomenon called thermal runaway where a vicious circle is formed: to sum up very roughly, the temperature increases, which releases energy, which increases the temperature. Moreover, even if a single cell can be affected, its heating can then activate that of its neighbors. And when this mechanism engages, it is then very difficult to interrupt it.

Misconception: Electric cars are dangerous
What is also very vicious is that this fire can smolder for several weeks before manifesting itself, as this damaged Tesla Model S recently showed which ignited three weeks after being scrapped in Sacramento.
Arrived on the spot, the local firefighters did not manage to extinguish it in a sustainable way with their conventional tools for more than an hour and had to improvise by digging a basin, filling it with water and then pulling the wreckage into it. to continuously lower the temperature of the components.

— Metro Fire of Sacramento (@metrofirepio) June 12, 2022
Manufacturers are actively working to create batteries that reduce the risk of thermal runaway, but, in the meantime, and with an electric market starting to be impressive, it is therefore up to firefighters to take up the challenge with innovative solutions, however rare these incidents may be.

Syrian army is on high alert, the situation is deteriorating again
DAMASCUS, (BM) – The situation in southern Syria is deteriorating after a series of coordinated attacks by the Free Syrian Army [FSA], writes Al-Masdar News. According to the Lebanese newspaper, in the Syrian province of Daraa, the Syrian Arab Army is ready to retaliate against terrorist sleeping cells, causing violence in the area since the beginning of the year.
The rumor alleges that rebels from the Free Syrian Army killed the governor of a city in Daraa province. For this reason, the publication claims, Russian military units were mobilized and sent to the area. So far, however, the lack of compromise has led to the failure of all attempts at a truce.
The Syrian Arab Army is trying to expel the Free Syrian Army commander in the Idlib area. According to the local government in Daraa, he is accused of plotting to attack.
New military operations
New military operations are taking place in central and eastern Syria. Field sources say Russian forces and units of the Syrian Arab Army are searching for the Islamic State terrorist group members.
According to the field source, the Palmyra triangle area is the primary action for conducting military search operations. Military intelligence suggests that the last members of the terrorist group in the country are in this area.
We remind you that Russia and Syria have carried out a series of successful anti-terrorist operations in the Badia al-Sham area in recent weeks. The Syrian Arab Army has begun conducting helicopter air patrols in the Badia al-Sham and Palmyra-Deir Ezzor areas to ensure citizens' safety.
War in Syria
In February 2020, Turkey lost at least 62 troops killed in Syria. Nearly 100 soldiers were wounded, Syrian-backed forces destroyed dozens of Turkish armored vehicles, and more than ten drones, including drones, were shot down. Washington has repeatedly accused Moscow of involvement in the deaths of Turkish soldiers, Russia rejects these allegations.
In early March, the presidents of Russia and Turkey, Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, agreed that a ceasefire came into force in the Idlib de-escalation zone. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad later said that if the US and Turkish military did not leave the country, Damascus would use power.
The reason for the Russian-Turkish negotiations was a sharp aggravation of the situation in Idlib, where in January, a large-scale offensive by the Syrian army against the positions of the armed opposition and terrorists began.
Government forces recaptured nearly half of the Idlib de-escalation zone and left behind several Turkish observation posts. After that, Ankara sharply increased its military contingent in the region and launched the operation "Spring Shield" to push the Syrian troops. Militants are loyal to Ankara and support Turkey.

Being a victim of fraud can be a humiliating experience.
Fraud happens when you trust the representations that a person or business makes to you, and that representation turns out to be false. It is a personal type of harm done to you or your business that can cause financial, emotional and, at times, even physical harm.
While a number of things go into proving fraud in an unfair business practices lawsuit, there are a few key indicators that you may have a claim for fraud under Florida law:
- There was a false statement of a material fact;
- The person making that statement knew it was false;
- That person intended you to act on their false representation; and
- You were damaged.
Fraud comes in many forms. In fact, a literal false statement isn't even necessary: By not telling someone something, you could be committing fraud by omission. For example, if a seller knows that termites ruined the wood in their house, then not telling a buyer about them could be fraud by omission. Fraud also includes fraudulent business records, check fraud, payroll fraud, falsified receipts and invoices, falsified transactions, fraudulent real estate documents, fraudulent inducement into contract, internet sales fraud, stockbroker fraud, bank fraud, auto fraud, website misrepresentation, work-from-home scams, pyramid schemes, identity theft, merchant account fraud, and credit card fraud.
Four types of fraud that are particularly prevalent in Florida today are financial fraud, health care and Medicare fraud, and fraud on the elderly. There are two different types of claims you can bring for some of these frauds. First, you can bring a claim as a consumer under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act if you have been unfairly deceived by a business. Second, you can bring a whistleblower or qui tam claim if you know of a fraud or misuse of Florida or U.S. government property or money. These claims are called qui tam claims or whistleblower claims. You can get money for reporting these to the government. However, there are special procedures you have to follow to be able to get an award for reporting the fraud. We can help you navigate those steps.
Financial Fraud
Financial fraud runs rampant in Florida. If you've lived here for any amount of time, you've most likely heard of the many Ponzi schemes that take advantage of unwitting Florida residents. For example, there was the Scott Rothstein law firm Ponzi scheme in South Florida and the Woodbridge Group of Companies real estate Ponzi scheme in which a Miami court granted $1 billion in penalties and disgorgement. The similarity in all these Ponzi schemes is that the fraudster promises large, too-good-to-be-true returns on money. Then, once a consumer invests, they take most of the money and use the remainder to pay off prior investors. That's why it is important to do background checks on any investment group, including doing a BrokerCheck provided by FINRA. You can also look at the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure from the SEC or Florida disclosures.
Sometimes, the only way an unfair business practices lawyer can help a client recover losses from a Ponzi scheme is to sue the bank for aiding and abetting the fraud or by instituting what is called a claw-back action, which attempts to recover the funds that were used to pay off prior investors.
Health Care and Medicare Fraud
Health care and Medicare fraud are also widespread in Florida, due to the large number of retirees that make up the state's population. Every day, the newspapers are full of articles about people being convicted of defrauding the health care system or taking advantage of our Medicare system. For example, a federal jury convicted a Florida health care executive of what prosecutors described as $1 billion in Medicare fraud schemes, as reported by the Associated Press. According to the article, he was allegedly paying kickbacks and bribes to doctors, so they would refer patients to his business.
If you are aware of this or any other type of fraud, whether you are the victim yourself or not, then you may be able to sue for unfair business practices resulting from fraud. Even if you were not the victim yourself, there are often monetary rewards for reporting these claims. This is called a whistleblower claim, and there are very specific steps you must follow in order to bring the claim. Contact our unfair business practices lawyers today to learn more about how we can help you if you have discovered a fraudulent scheme. Click here to learn more about whistleblower and qui tam claims.
Elderly Fraud
The elderly are particularly targeted by fraudsters, and they often are the most harmed. If you have been injured by someone making false representations, you can contact our unfair business practices lawyers to help get the legal advice you need. You can also call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline and look at their website for more help. According to AARP, common signs of fraud include:
- Receiving a call asking for money or personal information like your social security number
- Finding unauthorized charges on your credit card
- Getting an email or call saying you won a sweepstakes that you don't recall entering
If you are aware of nursing home or other types of fraud or misrepresentations relating to the treatment and care of elderly people, you should contact us. You may be able to file an unfair business practices lawsuit regardless of whether you are the victim yourself.
Fraud is such a problem in Florida that Florida's Chief Financial Officer set up a website to help protect people from fraud, including peer-to-peer payment service scams, Medicare scams, social security imposter scams, vacation property scams, moving scams, investment scams, Facebook Messenger scams, IRS scams, tax identity theft scams, fake debt collector call scams, lottery scams, government grant scams, identify theft, and many more.
It is important to remember that fraud is not just a criminal act. You also have civil claims against the fraudster as well. If you've been the victim of fraud—no matter what type—act fast and retain an experienced unfair business practices lawyer who can help you make sure you collect your defrauded money as quickly as possible.Back to Unfair Business Practices

BISS - Boofest 2013 and 2014 -BOSS Texas Lone Star Classic 2014 - AOM NW Fest 2015
I'm very excited to have acquired Drifter in late 2012 from Cyndi Dell of Morgandell Silken Windhounds. He was a lovely puppy to raise and just looks prettier all the time. He is proving to be a favorite of the judges too. At less than 9 months he breezed to his UKC Championship, two Best Puppy in Show at ISWS specialties, and received his first Champion Class win at the UKC show in conjunction with Silken Celebration's specialty show. At just over a year old, he achieved the unthinkable. Drifter went WD, BOW and on to BISS at BooFest 2013 under judge Lorraine Marchant to finish his ISWS Championship. At the second show, he was moved up to the BOB class and was awarded an AOM- quite the weekend for both of us! I'm honored to have such a standout in a young dog. Pictured below in June of 2014 finishing his GRCH in style taking 4 Champion class wins at the Washington Classic.

Drifter is quite the personality at home too. He has the typical Silken traits of tough, raucous play one minute and is leaning on my leg for love the next. When I had a litter of young puppies, I wondered if he was ready to control his exuberance and be gentle. Ready? Right on. He's been fabulous with all my puppies, and an excellent role model for Moon and TJ.

Image by City of Charleston The city wants to end flooding like this on the Crosstown, only problem is the pumps needed aren't cheap nor small.
First reporting September 9, updates at the bottom.
As work continues on the first phase of flooding control for the Crosstown Expressway, a plan is emerging for how the rest of the $150 million project could take shape.
The project to alleviate flooding for some 500 acres of downtown would be split up into five overall phases that could take nine years.
The Post and Courier has a short report that outlines the details (read that here) and a nice infographic that shows the zones (see that here). If you want a more detailed look at the city's plans and pipe arrangement, check out this PDF.
You can always keep up with the latest (and get background) on the Septima Clark Project website and our topic page.
Update September 11: The plan unveiled by Charleston Mayor Joe Riley to solve one of the city's worst flooding issues is taking heat.
Critics say its plans for funding are dubious and the timing of it makes the plan little more than an election ploy — the mayor faces re-election on November 8.
The Post and Courier has a round out on the criticism; take a read here.
Update November 18: After the State Infrastructure Bank toured the Crosstown on Tuesday, hopes are high that the group could deliver the needed dollars to complete the crosstown work.
ABC News 4 has a video report on that; watch it here.
However, The Post and Courier reminds that the "bank's" wallet is hardly bottomless.

Gender equality body backs decision to remove anti-abortion posters from metro
Greece's general secretariat for gender equality said on Tuesday it agreed with a decision by the Infrastructure and Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis to remove anti-abortion posters from metro stations in Athens on Monday.
"Informing the public and public awareness must be based on respect, objectivity and responsibility," Maria Syrengela said in a statement, adding that women's legal access to abortion is "unquestionable".
The two-week campaign, which was paid for by the Afiste Me na Zisw (Let Me Live) activist group, was denounced by ministry officials, who said that the metro is no place for "advertising activity that infringes on the rights of social groups, and especially those of women." Officials also said the ministry will conduct an investigation.
In a statement the ministry also hit out at the Athens urban rail transport company STASY, which is responsible for the metro's operation and its commercial policy.

Luke's New World
When we took Luke to see A7X we never expected him to end up with his own fan club but that's what happened.
We hope to grow a community for those we take to shows, for people to receive support or feel like they're not alone but a worldwide outpouring like Luke had...beyond our wildest dreams for him. A while ago we went to see Luke and delivered a map so he would always be able to see he's not alone...and get a little geography lesson. Then last week we popped down to see him again to see how marking the map was coming along and because Luke was happy to say something in support of our upcoming crowdfunder. The best bit of this is the incredible progress Luke has made since the day of A7X. When he received all your comments, when his heroes accepted him just as he is. This is often all we need to grow...some support, acceptance and for our voice to be heard. And for Luke to be confident enough to be in this video is testament to his growth. Luke wants to see more concerts now, see Avenged Sevenfold again (he says he wants to have a beer with them next time!) and the wonderful community here has played a huge part in this. Thank you all again. #onegigatatime

Contact: Steve Holt, (208) 597-7188, email@example.com
Conservation groups filed a formal notice on May 5th, 2021 of their intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Army Corps of Engineers and Trestle Creek Investments for approving the Idaho Club-Lakeside housing and marina development near Trestle Creek, one of the most important bull trout spawning streams in the Pacific Northwest.
The planned development calls for the construction of five single-family homes, a boat ramp, two docks and 124 boat slips. It would require the excavation of an island and peninsula and which is home to an active bald eagles nest.
This project prioritizes a 5 unit housing developments over conserving one of Idaho's most valued and threatened species. "If construction moves forward as planned, bull trout and one of their most important habitats will be severely and permanently damaged," said Kristine Akland, a staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity.
The notice was filed by the Center for Biological Diversity, Lake Pend Oreille Waterkeeper and Idaho Conservation League. It notes that the agencies and the developer failed to consider the impacts of constructing the marina and housing development on bull trout and its critical habitat, resulting in violations of the Endangered Species Act.
Bull trout were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1999. In 2010 the Service designated 18,795 miles of streams and 488,252 acres of lakes and reservoirs in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana and Nevada as critical habitat for the fish. In Washington 754 miles of marine shoreline were also designated.
"This project is a threat to one of the most critical spawning streams in the Pend Oreille Basin. It's also one of the few places locally where you can take your kids and so easily see bull trout and kokanee spawning," said Brad Smith, North Idaho director of the Idaho Conservation League. "It would be tragic to lose such a treasured resource."
