In 2012 as part of an investigation to find the site of the Croxton Kerrial Manor House, FLAG members undertook geophysical surveys of Pinfold field adjacent to the church in Croxton Kerrial. The results were extraordinary, clearly showing the remains of a substantial range of manorial buildings.
Excavation of the site began in Spring 2012 and todate extensive masonary walls have been uncovered, believed to be the remains of the manorial hall, domestic buildings and stables/outhouses. The large number of pottery finds date mostly from the 13th to 15th century, contemporary with the period of manor house occupation, although finds of Roman and Anglo Saxon pottery indicate much ealier usage of the site. This seasons excavation restarted on the 16th April 2013, with immediate discoveries of walls at the west end of the hall, which we are now sure is the kitchen/buttery; we have uncovered a drainage duct here and are currently excavating the well. One of our most interesting discoveries were two hearths in the Great Hall, the original hearth in the centre and a later hearth against the south wall.
The well has now been excavated to a depth of 4m, it is beautifully built in stone with a blue clay base. At the bottom of the well we discovered the remains of a bucket and a wonderful medieval water jug, almost intact, dropped in over 600 years ago!
Here are two of the intrepid well diggers!

*Sigh* On David Marshall's Review of My Book: The Blind Leading the Blind
Over at Amazon.com Dr. David Marshall, a Christian apologist, author, lecturer, debater and editor, reviewed my new book, The Outsider Test for Faith. I find it strange that it's one of the most helpful "reviews" so far (as of this writing). Since Marshall has edited his review in response to my criticisms I'll edit this post as well. Let me just say I think I already effectively dealt with all of his so-called "substantive" objections in my book, all of them. In fact, he repeats a few of his arguments as if he didn't even read the book. What intellectuals must do, rather than repeat an original argument, is to respond to the objections. It's called offering counter-arguments. He didn't do what an intellectual is required to do. As far as I know, he may not even know that he didn't do this.
In fact, this isn't a real review at all. It's a hatchet job. It wouldn't even marginally pass as a book review in any magazine. It's a knee jerk reaction to the things I wrote of Marshall's arguments in my book instead. In his "review" he's more interested in offering a response to them than reviewing the book as a whole. Since Marshall mischaracterizes me I have seven things to say for starters:
1) As a believer Marshall is a science denier as I argued in the book, plain and simple. He just won't admit this. I don't expect him to. He can't. 2) In his original review (now edited out) he claimed I learned of GK Chesterton's argument for a kind of outsider test from his book. No! I haven't even read it. 3) If my book is shallow (as he said in his original review) or intellectual lazy as he claims, he needs to account for the blurbs written about it.
Take for instance what Dr. Richard Carrier said of my book on his blog:
Though this idea has been voiced before, Loftus is the first to name it, rigorize it, and give it an extensive philosophical defense; moreover, by doing so, he is the first to cause a concerted apologetic to arise attempting to dodge it, to which he could then respond. The end result is one of the most effective and powerful arguments for atheism there is. It is, in effect, a covering argument that subsumes all other arguments for atheism into a common framework.
4) Tom Gilson, the Christian editor of the book where his chapter on the OTF is in, agreed with me, saying: "The core of David's argument is that Christianity has passed the OTF millions of time." So if I can be faulted for criticizing an argument he didn't make then at least Tom saw the same thing I did. *cough* 5) Marshall says I didn't respond to his four arguments that Christianity passes the test. Really? Then he must not have read chapters 9 and 10 where I argue against his faith either. 6) Even if he's correct about a couple of the nits he picks at, nitpicking about them does not undermine the over-all thrust of the case I present. That's what most believers do, even the intellectuals. They nitpick at a book rather than focus on the main thrust of it. If they can find a couple of nits to pick at they believe their faith has escaped refutation, which is typical when it comes to the cognitive illness of faith. My book was not written for him. It was written for people who want to be honest about their faith.
7) Marshall says my book is "an intellectually lazy work." Hmmmm, where have I heard that before? Ahhh, yes, he wrote an earlier Amazon "review" about my anthology The End of Christianity, saying it was an "intellectual lazy book" too. Well, well. Since I only wrote one chapter in it then I'm in great company, with the likes of well-credentialed scientists, biblical scholars, philosophers, historians and atheologians. Dr. Hector Avalos is one of them. His response is this: "I can say that he (Marshall) is probably the last person in the world who should accuse anyone of 'intellectually lazy work.'" When Christian apologists say such things about us no one should take them seriously. They are like the blind leading the blind. I mean this. No one should take any Christian apologist seriously who claims these two works of mine are shallow (as he said in his original review) or intellectually lazy. This is empty rhetoric. It's the same kind of rhetoric we would expect when an ex-Mormon or ex-Scientologist storms their gates with the truth. Yet, because of "reviews" like Marshall's most believers will not read them. You see, that's the REAL goal, and it works. The rank-and-file Christian trusts Marshall rather than me. After all, I'm just a lowly baby-eating atheist. ;-)
I had asked, "Apart from science, what else should we trust?" Marshall responds in this "review" that we should trust our eyes. Yes, indeed. Science is based on them, and on our other senses, like touching, hearing, tasting, and smelling. Scientists have developed instruments like the microscope and telescope and so many others I can't list, in order to heighten and amplify our senses. So science is based on our senses. Science is based on objective evidence along with sound reasoning about that evidence. What else can we trust? That is my question. On occasions our senses might deceive us and we reason incorrectly sometimes, but faith offers us nothing by comparison. Faith has no method. With faith practically anything can be believed or denied, even against the objective evidence, as so many religions exemplify in our world today. All someone has to do is examine the faith of a Mormon or a Scientologist to see this clearly. That Marshall sees this with regard to these other faiths is clear. That he does not see this with regard to his own faith means he's, well, blind.
There are two things Marshal said that were positive and appreciated though.
In his review he wrote: "I think he [John] held his own in his recent debate book with the very sharp Randal Rauser." He's referring to God or Godless?: One Atheist. One Christian. Twenty Controversial Questions. He had a pre-publication copy of it for a blurb. So let me get this straight. I held my own against "the very sharp" Dr. Rauser, but in his original review (now edited out) Marshall said I did a shallow job when it came to his arguments. Really? Does Marshall think his arguments are that much superior to the "very sharp " Dr. Rauser? Or instead, does he think the "very sharp" Dr. Rauser is as shallow as I am?
In a comment on page 2 after his review Marshall says to me:
...there's a lot more to say, and I do plan to say it. That's not a threat, because I don't see you so much as an opponent here, as someone who has raised some interesting issues (as you often do) that deserve discussion.
So let me get this straight as well. I often raise interesting issues but my arguments are shallow (as originally claimed) or intellectually lazy? How can anyone raise interesting issues if said person is not informed about the kinds of issues that are interesting? I would think that anyone who raises interesting issues knows enough about the arguments, both pro and con, that he knows what issues to raise in the first place.
*Sheesh* He really fears my book might lead believers astray. I don't see why, since he claims his faith passes this test, something I argued against in chapters 9 and 10 of the book itself.
Now, if Marshall decides to continually edit his original review based on my criticisms then I probably cannot keep up. If he does this again let me state for the record that doing so is an illegitimate way to have a discussion or a debate.

Sterling investors are likely to tread cautiously on account of national elections in the UK today. With opinion polls showing no clear majority for any of the major parties, markets will eagerly look forward to the outcome of today's voting. Moving ahead, market participants will eye Britain's trade data for March, due tomorrow, for more information about the health of the economy in the first quarter.
Meanwhile, in the Euro zone, data showed that factory orders in Germany rebounded at a slower than expected pace for March. Across the Atlantic, market participants will eye unemployment claims data, scheduled later today, for evidence about the strength of the labour market in the US in the start of second quarter. Tomorrow, non-farm payrolls report in the US will likely attract maximum market attention.
The UK general election has commenced. So far, the market reaction towards the elections has been fairly muted. However, today election uncertainty seems to be weighing on the Pound, with Sterling trading on a weaker footing against a basket of major currencies this morning. In terms of economic releases, it has been a mixed bag of data for the first three months and the beginning of the second quarter, which has increased the uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the elections. Looking forward, market participants will keep a tab on the trade balance data for March which is scheduled for release tomorrow. However, post elections currency traders reaction to trade data will likely be limited.
Yesterday, the Pound moved beyond the 1.52 mark to trade higher against the US Dollar, after the services PMI data, which is the largest component of GDP, showed that the sector expanded at a robust pace in eight months for April, indicating that sentiment about the health of the economy remained positive.
Yesterday, the ADP employment change report led the start to this week's string of economic releases related to the US labour market. The US Dollar lost ground against the Euro after data showed that the US private employers added fewer jobs, the least since January 2014 and sharply lower than market expected additions for April. The ADP report indicated that the weakness was largely due to the lingering effects of severe winter weather, lower oil prices and surging value of the US Dollar that weighed heavily on the manufacturing sector, resulting in limited job creation in the industry. In a separate report, non-farm productivity declined for the first quarter, marking it the second consecutive quarterly decline. Consequently, unit labour costs for the first three months rose at a fastest pace since the first quarter of 2014, signaling that wage growth is firming.
The US Dollar is trading on a stronger footing against the Pound this morning, ahead of today's unemployment claims data. Investors will eye this data ahead of tomorrow's non-farm payroll figures, for cues about job growth for April.
The Euro is trading higher against the Pound this morning as fears of deflation in the common currency union continued to recede in the advent of rising oil prices. Meanwhile, data released earlier today revealed that German factory orders rebounded, following two months of declines. Meanwhile, France's trade deficit widened for March after having narrowed in the previous month, thus regenerating concerns about the health of the nation's economy. Going forward, traders will keep a tab on Germany's industrial production and trade balance data for March, scheduled tomorrow, for more information about the performance of the Euro zone's largest economy towards the end of the first quarter. Meanwhile, media reports hint that the Greek officials have threatened to default on a repayment to the IMF next week, unless its creditors relax the nation's bailout conditions. However, Greece yesterday made an interest payment to the IMF on schedule.
Yesterday, the Euro moved above the 1.12 mark against the US Dollar, following robust services PMI data from the Euro zone and some of its economies.
Yesterday, the USD/CAD currency pair moved close to multi-month lows, after the ADP employment change report showed that job creation in the US was less than expected for April, stoking concerns about strength of the US labour market. But later in the day, the Canadian Dollar erased its gains against the greenback. In domestic economic news, Canada's seasonally adjusted Ivey PMI rose above market expectations to a seven month high for April, thus easing fears about the nation's economic outlook.
The Canadian Dollar is trading on a weaker footing against the US Dollar, ahead of Canada's building permits data, scheduled for release later today. Going forward, investors will keep a tab on Canada's employment report, due tomorrow, which will provide the first glimpse of the economy's performance for the second quarter after a disappointing first three months of the year. The Canadian labour market report will release around the same time as non-farm payrolls in the US, and the two releases will drive the currency pair tomorrow.


Payday loans are the most famous type of loans. Payday loan benefits are what make people crazy about these. Benefits of payday loans are numerous and hard to list down.
A payday loan is an unsecured short-term loan. It does not involve any collateral. This means, borrowers do not have to give their lender something as a security as we do in mortgage loans and others. A potential buyer have to submit a loan application along with any documents. The application will be reviewed by the lender. Upon approval, borrower gets the loan. The loan amount and the fee are payable on the next paycheck of the borrower. Borrowers give a signed check to their lender or they need to instruct their bank to transfer the funds into lender's account on their next paycheck. Online no fax payday loans are the ones where borrower do not need to send any document to the lender.
Theses are the basic and most common requirements for a payday loan. However, these requirements vary a lot. For instance, in some countries the minimum age of the borrower must be 21 or above. So these requirements depend on the lender, country, state laws, and general regulations.
The maximum and minimum amount that you can get via a payday loan varies from country to country and lender to lender. Generally speaking, the low limit is $50 and the upper limit is $1000. However, some lenders will also give you $1500 or more as a payday loan.
All payday loans are due on the next paycheck of the borrower. This means, the maximum duration of a payday loan does not exceed 30 days. And the minimum duration has no limit. Again, it all depends on your lender. Some lenders will extend the due date over 30 days. While others will not give you any leverage.
The interest rate of a payday loan ranges from 15% to 30%. Which is very high. And this ultimately make payday loans very expensive.
You can apply for a payday loan in several different ways. You can apply online. You can apply over the phone. You can also apply for a loan by visiting the office of your lender. The easiest and most convenient method is to apply online. You have to fill out the application form. If you lender asks to fax any documents, send them in. However, most of the lenders do not need any documents. Once you will submit your application, your application will be sent for verification and review. You will be notified as soon as your application will be reviewed. You will get the funds in your bank account upon approval of your application.
How to repay payday loan?
The repayment process is very easy. You do not have to do anything. When your application gets approved, you have to give a signed check to your lender. Or else, you need to instruct your bank to send money into your lenders account on next paycheck. Or, you can authorize the lender to withdraw an agreed amount from your bank account on an agreed date.
It is not hard to get payday loans information in today's world when every thing and every information is on your finger tips. But yes, it is really hard to get correct and authentic information. Same is true for payday loan info. It is hard to get authentic information. No need to panic because you have landed right on the spot this time where you will get reliable, correct as well as authentic information about payday loans. So let's begin.
I assume that you know everything about payday cash loan basics. So I am not going to discuss that. Rather we will switch to a more sensitive and important piece of information.
What you need to do to get a payday loan?
So if you need to get a payday loan, or if you are planning to apply for a payday loan at your local lender, what you need to do? What things or information you must have with you in order to get your application approved fast?
Well, you need a few things which are the basic requirements for getting a payday loan.
Make sure that your age is in-accordance. If you are above 18 – no issues. If you are 18 or below – you need to read the terms and policies of your lender. Or call him for further assistance. But to make things simple for you, let me tell you that if you are 18 or below, you cannot apply for a payday loan. So wait.
You must be employed or self-employed to get a payday loan. And this is not enough. You have to show income proof or some sort of employment proof. This is important because this makes your lender sure that you can repay. You have the potential to repay the loan.
You have to prove your identity as well. For that, you need a government issued card or any other proof.
You also need a bank account. A running bank account that has a good standing. This bank account will serve two purposes. It will be used to send and receive the payday loan amount. And it will also be used to see what is your current financial position.
Any other documents that your lender need.
Can You Apply For A Payday Loan With Bad Credit?
An important question that a lot of people ask and search for. The answer is simple "yes". Of course, most of us do know they can apply for a payday loan even if they have poor credit score. But what is the logic behind this? I mean why a lender would give his money to some one who is already in debt. Who is not paying other bills.
Payday loan lenders do not check the credit score of their borrowers. All they look for is their employment and their capacity to repay their loan plus fee on next paycheck. If a payday loan lender knows that his borrower can repay him, he will not wait a single second to approve the application. Since the amount of payday loan is very small and the duration of the loan does not exceed 30 days, so your lender is on the safe side even if you have very poor credit history. He has nothing to do with your debts and other bills.
So all those with bad credit score can apply for a payday loan and they will get the loan provided they are employed and have a bank account in good state. This is all what payday loan lenders look for.
I hope this payday loan information will help you in one way or another.
But before assuming anything about payday loans or before getting a payday loan, you need to find out why a fairly large number of people or I must say critics oppose payday loans. There is not point in ignoring the views of thousands or millions of people without listening to them.
Let's see what all those critics say about payday loans, and why they are against payday loans.
1- Critics say that payday loan lenders are making poor more poor. This is because payday loans are mainly used by poor people. Those who do not have enough cash. Those who need money. So what happens is those who are already short of cash. Those who do not have any savings use payday loans. And in return, they pay heavy interest to the lenders. Payday loans carry a very high interest rate. Normally, a borrower has to pay $115 to $120 for a payday loan of $100. So it is said that lenders are draining money. They get money from poor and give it to rich. Rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer.
2- It is also said that payday loans have a very high interest rate which is unfair. Critics are of the view that payday loan lenders charge way too much interest and fee to their clients as compared to their actual cost. The cost incurred by payday loan lenders is very less as compared to what they are earning.
On the other hand, lenders say that the cost associated with payday loans is very high. It is much higher than other types of normal long-term loans.
Critics oppose them and say that the cost for normal loans (home loans, car finance loans etc.) is higher than payday loans. Since for long-term loans, lenders have to conduct a complete credit scoring check of the potential buyer, whereas in case of payday loans, all they have to do is verify borrowers via their employment and bank statement. So this simply means that cost of long-term loans is higher than short-term loans (payday loans), so lenders need to charge less interest to payday loan borrowers.
3- Critics also say that payday loan lenders use normal or routine collection methods while dealing with payday loan borrowers which is absolutely unfair. The collection techniques for a payday loan must be different from a mortgage loan. The actual amount involved varies a lot. In case of payday loans, people do not get more than $2000 in any case. Whereas in case of other loan types, borrowers take millions of dollars in loan. So the collection practices must be different for the two.
This is not all, critics have a very long list with them but these were the most important and most valid points thus far. So next time, when you apply for a payday loan, do consider these views as well. These views can be of great help for you in one way or another. And I hope you will get something good from these views and criticism.
How To Improve Your Credit Score Quickly?
Credit score is the one most important thing that plays a significant role in your financial life. Those having poor or low credit score face a lot of hardships throughout their life. They cannot get any type long-term loan. They cannot get credit cards. They cannot apply for home loans. Things get hard for them. On the other hand, those with good credit score are loved by lenders, banks and financial institutes.
Those with extremely poor credit score can, however, get short-term loans including payday loans. Whether it be payday loan online or a traditional offline payday loan, they can get it with ease. Since pay day loan online lenders do not look at the credit score of their clients. Having said that, payday loans are not collateral loans and are short-term loans.
If you need a payday loan urgently, you need to visit www.paydayloanlendersusa.net.
So the thing is, if you have poor credit score, you can only get a payday loan and not any other kind of long-term loan. To get other types of loans you have to improve your credit score. And improving credit score is one of the hardest things to do. It takes years to improve your credit score. What make things worse, is that with poor credit score you will always find yourself short of cash. In such a situation, when you do not have cash and you still want to improve your credit score (and credit history), you will find yourself in the middle of sea without any boat.
But there is a solution. Yes you can improve your credit score quite easily but you have to follow the rules. To start with, decide that you will pay all your bills whether it be short-term loans/bills or long-term loans, you will clear them before due date at every cost. Even if you have to pay twice the principal amount, you must pay the bills before due date.
As said, you can get a payday loan even if you have poor credit score. The idea is to clear your bills before due date. Have no money. No problem. Get a payday loan, and pay off your bill before due date. You need to use payday loans, cash advances and other short-term loans to pay your long-term bills (that affect your credit score) before due dates.
Short-term loans like payday, cash advance etc. do not affect your credit score. So even if you pay these short-term loans after due date, these will not going to harm your credit score. But you have to pay heavy fees to your lender as a penalty. So try to clear all your bills (short-term as well as long-term) before due dates. If, however, you cannot clear all the bills within their due dates, pay long-term bills first. Your priority must be to pay those bills that harm your credit score. Since we are concerned about credit score improvement. Prioritize long-term bill payments.
When you will constantly keep on using payday loans to pay your bills on time, you will see a good change in your credit score. But, do not expect a change right away. A small deviation in a credit score needs months. And when we are talking about shifting credit score from bad to good, this means you have to wait for years. You have to follow the rule for years. You have to be consistent. You have to patient. You have stay on the line. Do not lose hope. Do not expect results too early. This will take a lot of time. And you need to keep on doing all the hard work for years.
When your credit score finally moves to a healthy spot, you need to keep doing all the good stuff. It does not mean that you are now free. You have to be very cautious. You still need to keep paying all your bills in time. This is a lifelong rule that you must not forget.
Choosing a payday loan lender seems to be a simple task, but actually it is not. Most of the people (borrowers) do not bother to search and find the best payday loan lender. This is primarily due to the fact that more than 90 percent of the borrowers need payday loan on urgent basis, and they do not have the time to look for alternates. They simply go to the lender whichever comes first on the list. Consequently, they end up paying huge fees with minimal services. Do not let this happen to you. You need to choose one of the best payday loan lenders like www.instantcashadvanceusa.net. And how you will do that. Here are a few tips that will help you in choosing pay day loan lenders.
The first thing that you need to do is do not to choose a payday lender in hurry. Do not make any decision quickly. Think. Think again. Relax. Compare. Find alternates. Choose smartly. Decisions made without proper calculations and logic reasoning usually create problems for you at the end.
You must choose a lender that is a registered one and is licensed lender. Almost all the lenders, that are licensed lenders have their license number on their websites. So it is not hard to locate a few licensed and registered payday lenders in your area.
Always deal with a lender having a proper and valid physical business address. Although you do not have nothing to do with the physical address if you are applying online. But there are many fake lenders out there who will take away your personal information and will never send you the money. So it is better to deal with a lender having valid physical office address.
If you need money quickly, choose a lender having quick simple application process. Almost every lender promises to process applications quickly. Every payday lender have all the detail over their website about the time they need to review the application and transfer the funds into the bank. The idea is to choose the lender having minimum application review time and who transfer the funds immediately into your bank account up on approval.
How can you forget about the fees and other charges? This is most important factor that need special attention. Payday loans usually have very high fees, late payment dues and other charges. Even if you repay the loan within the due date, you will still have to pay on average 20 percent of the principal. So fees are very important and you must choose a lender with minimum fee and charges. Most of the lenders do not mention their fees on their website, but you must call them to get things clear before submitting your application. Because if you will apply right away without knowing the fee and other stuff, your application might get accepted and once accepted, you will get the funds. Then there is no turning back. Do not forward your application until and unless you do not know about the fee that you will have to pay to the lender.
Last but not the least, make sure that your lender promises to keep your personal information secure and safe. This is important for several reasons.
The best practice is to choose top five pay day loan lenders and then compare them on your criterion. Give weight-age to each criterion (like; ease of use, approval time, fee, licensed lender etc.), and then choose the one having maximum weight-age among all.


This page is designed to answer the most commonly asked questions.
What are my rights and what am I entitled to?
I was only a little sore, do I still need any care?
My doctor said it is just a strain and that I will be O.K. What does the research show?
What do I need to know if I think I've been injured?
Is going to the hospital and getting a prescription all I need?
Suppose the person that hit me is uninsured, can I still receive care?
If I don't have medical coverage on my policy can I still receive care?
When does someone need an attorney?
When should I settle with the insurance company?
The quality of your future life may depend on the decision you make today.
"What will I drive in the meantime?"
To sum it all up... AUTO ACCIDENTS ARE A HASSLE!
To top it all off, you may have noticed that since the accident you may not have been feeling your normal self. You might be experiencing obvious pains and symptoms like muscle stiffness, neck pain, headaches, difficulty sleeping, irritability, memory loss, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, along with many other difficulties.
Worse than that, you may be feeling nothing at all!
Either way, it is possible that your car could be the least of your concerns if you have undetected and untreated injuries, or injuries that are treated totally inappropriately.
Most medical doctors are not trained in the proper treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, the kind that you suffer when in a car crash.
Because most medical doctors are not trained in the proper treatment, most people are unaware of the long-term effects of these kinds of injuries.
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis is one of the most common long-term effects.
Many receive pain medication or muscle relaxers and are released from care. Then while their pain is hidden with medication, they settle their case.
If you do, you may experience pain, headache, muscle stiffness and soreness, fatigue, and other problems months or years down the road.
Nothing is more important than your health when you start to lose it. Except for life-threatening conditions, no other health condition will interfere with the quality of your life as much as this kind of chronic pain.
So let's answer some of these important questions.
1. What are my rights, and what am I entitled to?
You have the right to be compensated for pain and suffering if the accident was not your fault. If you had the proper coverage, then you have the right to have your car fixed correctly. You have the right to the proper care to assist you to regain the state of health that you had before the accident. Even if the accident was your fault, if you have medical coverage on your policy, you have the right to all the care that is needed to make sure that you have the same level of function that you had before the accident. But just being out of pain may not be the full state of function. Read on! There may be many other things that you are entitled to.
2. What if my car sustained only minor damage?
In other words, the damage to the passengers is not necessarily directly related to the damage of the vehicle. As a matter of fact, many injuries occur in accidents that have little or no outward damage to the vehicle body.
A recent Canadian study (Brault et al., 1998) demonstrated an injury threshold of only 2.5 mph! In other words, a car hitting your car as slowly as 2.5 mph may cause injury to certain tissues in your body. Did you know that modern vehicles are equipped with bumpers that can withstand 10 mph impacts?
Think about it - if the car doesn't bend and buckle and absorb the energy of the impact, something or someone has to, and that something or someone is YOU, your body and spine take the beating!!
3. I'm only suffering from sore muscles. My doctor said it is just a strain and/or sprain and that I'll be O.K. What does the research show?
In other words, car crashes and the injuries they create are a much greater health problem than most of us have been aware of until now. Sore muscles are only an outward sign that you may have a substantial injury to your spine and nervous system.
4. What do I need to know if I think I've been injured?
There are two important facts that you should be aware of if you are the one involved in a car crash, and may be injured. First, because of the structures that may have been injured in your spine, degenerative conditions could develop within months, leaving you with a permanent painful condition, not to mention the disability to your nervous system as well.
Again, post-traumatic osteoarthritis is probably the most common degenerative condition.
Second, the most common misconception about this kind of injury is that it is only a little strain and that I will heal in just a couple of weeks.
There are three phases of the healing process.
The first phase is the "Acute Inflammatory Phase." This is characterized by the swelling and redness of the tissue, which is caused by the bleeding and oozing of the injured part. The fact that this goes on inside the neck and cannot be seen, leads some to think that there wasn't much damage. This phase can last up to 72 hours, so it isn't uncommon for some to feel worse everyday for almost a week. Just because you start to feel better doesn't mean that you are healed, you have only gone through the first phase.
The second phase is the "Phase of Regeneration." This is when the tear in the muscle and ligament is healed with fibrous scartissue. This phase of healing will last at least 6 to 8 weeks, sometimes longer.
The third phase is the "Phase of Remodeling," when the fibrous scar tissue is remodeled into the shape of the original tissue. This phase is almost never treated by traditional medical therapy. To make things worse, if you don't go through the proper treatment in this phase, you will probably have a permanent disability to some extent. And depending on the tissue that was injured, this phase can last up to a year. It is now easy to see why just taking some pain medication for your sore muscles may be a dangerous thing to do if you want to live a full active life after a car accident.
Just exactly what should you do?
That is a complicated way of saying that going to a chiropractor is the best way to get the care that you should have if you have been in a car accident.
5. Suppose the person that hit me is uninsured, can I still get care?
Yes! This is one of the advantages of the "no fault" laws that we have here in Utah. Your minimum coverage should give you at least $3,000 of medical coverage after an accident. Even if the accident was your fault you still have that minimum medical coverage. Depending on the coverage that you have on your own car, if you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, you may have much more than just the "P.I.P." coverage. If you are not sure what your own coverage is, call your insurance agent. Because of the number of people who have no coverage, even though that is against the law, it is one of the wisest additions you can make to your coverage.
6. If you don't have medical coverage on my policy, can I still get care?
Yes! As long as the person who hit you has the minimum coverage required by law. Again, check with your insurance agent to see if it is wise to add uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage to your own policy.
7. When should someone seek and attorney?
We recommend that you seek out a qualified experienced attorney soon after the accident. Many times an insurance company will deny the benefits that should be available to you. Unfortunately, that practice is all to common! Insurance companies are trying to protect their bottom line, and not your rights. The judicial system is just too complicated to fight for your rights by yourself. Because HealthQuest Chiropractic specializes in treating car accident injuries; The doctors can assist you in choosing an attorney who fights for you.
8. When should I settle with the insurance company?
The reason that you buy insurance in the first place is to protect yourself against loss in the event of an accident. But you must also remember that your insurance company will do all that it can to reduce it's own expenses. After all, that is how they make their profit. You have the right to be as good as you were before the accident, or if not, to be compensated for your loss. So rule number one is, do not settle with your insurance company until you and your doctor are satisfied that you are as good as you are going to be. In other words, you are the one that should make the final decision to settle. Just don't be pressured into a settlement for the promise of a few bucks that the insurance adjustor is offering to close out your case. If you allow your case to be closed before you are completely well, you may very well be ensuring yourself a lifetime of pain and misery. Make sure that you get all the proper care you are entitled to before you settle your claim.
9. How do I choose the right Clinic? Is there a difference?
To some this may seem obvious, but I'm constantly surprised by those who would choose a doctor simply because he or she is close. HealthQuest Chiroparctic has over 24 years of experience specializing in treating auto accident victims. They have seen literally thousands of patients in that time and helped them return to normal function with expert care. Just as you probably have had an experience with a barber or hair stylist that just couldn't cut your hair the way you wanted, there is definitely a difference in experience and skill level with chiropractors. The Doctors at HealthQuest Chiropractic have attended hundreds of hours of postgraduate education in the field of personal injury treatment to go along with the thousands of patients they have treated and a 96% success rate. They have been specifically trained in advanced courses of study in the diagnosis and clinical management of cervical trauma and whiplash related joint disorders.

'He's going to have a lot of options': Hard work paying off for Bristol Central's Rosa after picking up first Division I football offer

Written by MATT HORNICK
@MNHornick
BRISTOL - Even amid the coronavirus pandemic, there isn't a day that goes by where Victor Rosa isn't working on his game.
Running, lifting, different drills. He knows he has to if he wants to reach his goal of playing Division I football.
"Ever since I was a kid I've always wanted to go Division I," Rosa said. "Ever since I got into high school I've been working. I understood what it takes to get to where I need to be and as soon as I got to high school, my whole mindset changed; my whole workout schedule changed. I've been working out every day and I'm just doing what I need to do to get where I need to be."
Usually the fastest player on the field and the focal point of his team's offense, Rosa - who has been starting on both sides of the ball for Bristol Central as a freshman and sophomore - used his dynamic speed and athleticism to post 1,146 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns on the ground to go along with 475 passing yards and two touchdowns and earn his second all-CCC selection. He capped off his sophomore campaign with record-tying five touchdowns in the Battle for the Bell against Bristol Eastern and scored 32 of Central's 34 points.
Nearly a year later after increasing his training regimen and working in the offseason, Rosa now has an offer from UConn, his first from a Division I school and is making the efforts to garner even more attention.
"He's definitely put on a lot of good weight without sacrificing the speed and agility, which in my mind are his No. 1 attributes as a football player," Central head football coach Jeff Papazian said. "It's finding a way to get out and compete with other kids that are really good."
Rosa knows he will not be playing quarterback at the next level so a lot of his offseason work is focused on developing the skills at receiver, running back and defensive back because that is where he will be assigned to play in college. For help with this, as well as the rest of the recruiting process, Rosa joined the mentoring program Supreme Athlete, which is run by former UConn football player Stanley "Stack" Williams. His company helps high school athletes train to reach their highest potential on the field, so he can help them gain the most attractive scholarship offers to play at a prep school or in college.
Rosa was first introduced to Williams and the program when he tried out for the Supreme Athlete seven-on-seven football team. After peaking Williams' interest, Rosa was added to the team and was presented about joining the Supreme Athlete program.
"One of the biggest benefits for him was that he was training with and alongside better athletes than him," Williams said. "Kids who were ahead of him from the recruiting standpoint, kids who were as dynamic or even more dynamic than him and that just helped him see 'I might be the best in Bristol, but I'm not overall, where I would like to be.'"
Already driven towards his goal of playing Division I, joining Supreme Athlete and being exposed to a higher level of training and competition motivated Rosa even more because he was getting firsthand experience against his competition at the next level.
"He didn't win every race, he wasn't the strongest or the quickest, but it made him see how much more work he had to put in and I think that was great for him," Williams said. "So now he's training with kids who have bigger FBS offers than him, that are younger than him, so that's been inspiring him to work harder. Victor has done a fantastic job of responding and his parents have been tremendous with supporting me and allowing me to be the person who helps facilitate things from a recruiting standpoint for him and it's been really great so far."
Despite Rosa's junior season being put on delay for the time being, he's still been able to make people notice how he's grown since last season and intensifying his training. Since starting with Supreme Athlete, UConn made him his first Division I offer and he has been in discussions with many other programs including the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Rhode Island, the University at California-Berkeley, Temple, UMass, Bucknell and some schools from the Ivy League have taken notice because of his strong grades.
With the offer from UConn, Rosa is just a decision away from finalizing his dream, but plans to keep his options open. He doesn't expect UConn to be his only offer, but was more than thrilled to receive one.
"This entire recruiting process I was just waiting for a school to believe in me," Rosa said. "This summer, I've competed in seven-on-seven through Supreme Athlete. There's Division I athletes from all over competing in there. I'm there, I'm making plays, holding my ground, [making] interceptions. I know I can play at the next level and I was just waiting for a school to believe in me. UConn was that school and I'm very blessed with this opportunity."
With other schools interested but it being unclear when his next opportunity to play an actual football game will come, Rosa is surveying his choices with how to proceed. He has nearly two years until he would be set to start his freshman year of college, but the pandemic's unpredictability makes the situation more complicated.
"It's junior year, it would've been my year," Rosa said. "This would've been the year to put up the film and blow up, but we have to work around that. I've been working out every single day and even though there's no season [right now], there might be a spring season. All is still unknown. I don't know what I'm going to do, whether it's go to a prep school if I don't get my junior season back. I still don't know. Me and my family don't know what we're going to do. Every day I'm continuing to work and I have my mind on the bigger picture, especially with this UConn offer. I've got my eyes on the right sight. I'm just going to keep on working, junior season or not."
Regardless of what's next for him, Rosa is ready. He refuses to lose sight of what he wants and believes he has positioned himself in the best possible way to make those goals materialize. In a time that created great uncertainty for many people in every aspect of life, he has no intention of letting anything slow him down.
"UConn is the first to jump on board, I would totally expect some more schools will fall with that," Papazian said. "He's got UConn, which is obviously at the FBS level, but a kid with a transcript like he has, I absolutely believe some of the Ivy League schools are going to come along. They're at a different pace in their recruiting timeline than an FBS school like UConn. I think when it's all said and done he's going to have a lot of options and he's going to have a really tough decision to make, in a good way."

It was a year ago when I drove to Twin Falls for a funeral. A young guy. Too young. Father of five, and husband to Emily. I'll tell you the truth, I'm not comfortable taking pictures at a funeral. I see value in it and I'll do it, especially if it helps a hurting friend, but it's not something that is easy for me.
Most of the funeral guests had already left the cemetery, after all the hugs and kind condolences, and after the balloons had lifted off into the sky, just Emily and a handful of family were left. Emily walked to the casket and sat alone with her head down. I can't even imagine what kinds of thoughts were going on in her head. I can't imagine how you process the loss of a spouse. By the time her daughter came up to her, I couldn't tell if I was getting things in focus or not on account of some tears. It was one year ago today when I took the saddest picture I've ever taken.

Sid said they wanted something fun, something that showed what looked like how they were together every day. Nothing stuff. Well, Sid, you've come to the right place.
I've been hearing a lot about photographers (particularly wedding photographers) switching from their DSLR cameras to mirrorless cameras, (in fact, in 2016, more mirrorless cameras were sold than DSLRs) but couldn't understand the appeal. A couple years ago I bought a Fuji X100T and I like it quite a bit, but for me, there was no way it could replace my current DSLR, a Canon 5D Mark III.
Ah, but then I just got the Fuji XPro2, and it's my new favorite camera. This is the camera I've been waiting for. When I'm not shooting with it, I'm dreaming about shooting with it. It's fun to use, the files are sharp and lush, and look at the thing--it's gorgeous!
Three cheers for the Fuji XPro 2.
Jennifer Madsen is a great singer. I was happy she came in to get some new headshots.
I'd be happy if you came in, too!
I asked Luz and Jorge what's the secret for staying married for 20 years. Jorge said, "Just don't get divorced." Seems easy enough.

Association Center for Intercultural Dialogue in collaboration with partners from Serbia, Albania, Finland, Croatia, Spain, Lithuania, and Kosovo issues a public call for three free of charge online courses.
The online courses have a flexible schedule that will allow you to adapt your participation to your current needs. It will take from 20 minutes to 4 hours per week, and the courses last between 1 and 3 weeks.
And most importantly, the courses are provided free of charge to anyone who is interested.
The language of instruction is ENGLISH. The courses will start in September.
Cultural Perspective of Gender Equality – In this course, we discuss not only the concept of gender equality, but as well look at the gender roles through historical perspective in Western culture covering both men and women. This course should not only give you a theoretical understanding of the current situation in gender equality but also encourage you to question your everyday behavior: how much it is influenced by the gender roles.
More info can be found here, and application form here.
Non-formal Learning: My second chance – The aim of this online course is to learn about non-formal education and how competencies and skills gained through it can benefit people in all fields of life. This course is for anyone with an interest in youth work and working with young people. But it might be particularly of interest to voluntary sector practitioners (including volunteer managers), youth workers, HR managers, adult volunteers, parents and teachers.
Training of Trainers: Listen to YOUth voice!" – The online course Training of Trainers: Listen to YOUth voice! deals with a participation of youth in the community, democratic processes and society. More and more approaches to promote participation of young people in institutions and organizations are appearing and we have to know how to use them. This course is focused on the role of trainers and facilitators as a key issue to revitalize youth spaces and analyze how young people are taking participation in democratic processes as well as share good practices in this field.
The Journey to Self-Confidence – We will try to reach the aim by getting to know some basic concepts related to self-confidence and applying simple techniques that will allow us to both learn and practice skills which can be applied to areas of low self-confidence forever. Through them, we will try to get more awareness of our achievements, strengths and opportunities, but we will also learn how to overcome "weaknesses" and avoid "threats".
Youth Employment- The main purpose of this online course is to inform youth people about the strengthen employability through e- learning. This course will support young people to build their skills for a successful job application, to prepare good curriculum vitae, a motivational letter, and how to search for job opportunities.
This project is financed by the Erasmus+ Youth in Action Programme of the European Commission.

Cities Save Hotels, Arenas From Bond Defaults After Pandemic Hit
Amanda Albright
Dec 15 2020, 8:30 PM Dec 16 2020, 12:03 AM December 15 2020, 8:30 PM December 16 2020, 12:03 AM
(Bloomberg) -- Cities across the U.S. are having to step in to keep civic projects from defaulting on bonds after months without events or public gatherings, dealing governments a fresh financial hit from the pandemic.
In Maryland Heights, Missouri, a St. Louis suburb, officials replenished the depleted reserves of an ice-skating and concert venue. San Antonio, Texas, used its hotel-tax revenue to help a Hyatt-run hotel make debt-service payments in July and plans to do so again in 2021. Akron, Ohio, in November honored its pledge to cover the debts of a nearly century-old downtown theater.
Such rescues are among the first of what may be many in the municipal-bond market, reflecting governments' decisions to guarantee bonds sold for stadiums, convention centers and other projects that promised to revitalize cities. Those businesses' revenues have dried up since March and it's unclear how soon they will recover once coronavirus vaccines allow American life to return to normal.
"It's an unprecedented crisis -- these are structured to try to address that possibility," said Thomas Hazinski, a managing director at consulting firm HVS, which specializes in tourism and entertainment projects.
Debt for such projects is usually repaid by the revenue they generate or specific cash streams earmarked by cities and counties. But some local governments have also pledged to extend their own money, providing crucial support that helped increase bond ratings and drive down financing costs.
With tourism battered by the 9-month pandemic and mass gatherings shut down, some local governments are having to make good on those pledges.
Maryland Heights, Missouri, had to step in and help even before its ice center and music arena got a chance to fully debut. Financed with $55.5 million of bonds, the ice center opened in 2019, only to close less than a year later because of Covid-19. It has since reopened. The arena, which had an agreement with events promoter Live Nation and was set to open in May 2020 with a concert featuring Kesha, had to cancel all its shows for this year.
As revenue from ticket sales and concessions disappeared, the price of some of the bonds sold for the project due in 2039 tumbled, indicating concern among investors. Then the city council transferred more than $38,300 from its general fund to a reserve account for the bonds, part of its commitment to set aside $625,000 each year to backstop the senior debt's reserve account. That buoyed confidence, with the bonds trading at nearly 92 cents on the dollar.
David Watson, the director of finance for Maryland Heights, said the payment wasn't a major challenge this year, given that the city received one-time federal aid that will help offset an estimated $6 million to $7 million shortfall. But the longer-term support for the bonds could be an issue given the uncertainty of Covid-19.
"We think it's going to be successful," Watson said. "But we certainly would like people to come out and be able to enjoy it."
Common Support
The local government guarantees are especially common among debt issued for convention centers and hotels that cities have built to lure in the type of business conferences that have since disappeared.
San Antonio, Texas, helped make debt service payments on bonds for a convention-center hotel run by Hyatt that was financed with municipal bonds in 2005. At the same time, the city had to institute a civilian pay and hiring freeze and slashed its fiscal 2021 budget by about $4.4 million compared to last year.
In July, the city used about $338,000 in hotel-tax revenue for a debt service payment, and is expecting to do so again in January and July 2021, amounting to an estimated $13.5 million. The city said it expects to be repaid.
In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the city in 2015 provided a "limited" guarantee to replenish withdrawals from debt-service reserve fund for $16.4 million of bonds sold for a convention-center hotel. It had to tap those reserves in October, according to regulatory filings, and if the hotel doesn't generate enough revenue the city will be on the hook to replenish the $28,064.90 withdrawal. It may also have to provide $150,000 in the next year for an insurance reserve fund tied to the project.
Michelle Shumpert, the city's chief financial officer, said tax revenue from short-term stays in hotels or other rental spaces were down about 35% in the first quarter of the fiscal year. Still, she said they expect a revival after vaccines are widely used, given the area's popularity with beach-goers.
"We tend to rebound rather quickly," she said.
Other projects will need even more help. The Washington State Convention Center, which tapped the municipal market for $1 billion in financing in 2018 for an expansion, is seeking about $300 million in loans from the state, King County and Seattle to help finish the expansion, according to Jeff Blosser, chief executive officer.
The financing district that sold bonds already used certain lodging tax revenue to pay debt service rather than send it to the state. That counted as a nearly $14.3 million loan that the district will have to repay the state.
Allison Dyer, senior counsel at Holland & Knight, said the bond guarantees are a tool that municipalities have to support the projects. "Without those, these projects do not get built," she said.
Akron, Ohio, extended such a guarantee nearly 20 years ago to restore the Akron Civic Theatre, a landmark built in 1929 that is one of five remaining theaters of its kind in the U.S. In late November, the city received notice that it would need to step in to cover debt service for December, or $45,452.98, according to a regulatory filing.
"There's a lot of history there," said Steve Fricker, Akron's director of finance.


LONDON (AP) — Amazon is facing criticism after its British tax bill fell despite a big jump in sales and profits.
Records show Amazon U.K. Services Ltd. faced a 2017 tax bill of 4.6 million pounds ($6 million) but paid just 1.7 million pounds ($2.2 million), deferring the rest.
Its pre-tax profits for the period were 72.4 million pounds, almost triple the previous year's 24.3 million pounds. Revenue was 1.99 billion pounds, up from 1.46 billion pounds.
The low tax bill is due partly to the way the European Union works, where multinationals have their tax base in one country — often with a very-low tax regime. Earnings from around the bloc are registered in that country — a system called profit-shifting — which means that companies like Amazon end up paying very little tax in many countries where they have significant operations.
Amazon is one of a group of multinationals that the EU has accused of arranging unusually advantageous tax deals with the EU country they are based in. Amazon's EU base is in tiny Luxembourg.
The EU estimates that governments lose 50-70 billion euros ($58-81 billion) a year in tax revenue due to multinationals' ability to report the bulk of their earnings in one EU state.
Amazon said Friday that it pays "all taxes required in the U.K. and every country where we operate." The decrease in its tax payment was partly due to shares payments to staff, which were counted as a cost and deducted from profits.
Amazon UK Services employs about 20,000 people and operates the facilities which store, process and post products to customers in Britain.

Experimental alternative artist luliano circumvents the ordinary with modern compositions that are complemented with unique electronica arrangements and intricate harmonies.
With the release of the single, "Who Knows," the first single to be dropped from his forthcoming EP, Hidden Root, which is due out this year, luliano plans to introduce to the world his tenacity for procuring the hidden gems that may lie, waiting to surprise you in the most commonplace circumstances. Hidden Root started out as a testament to represent luliano as an artist and as a person. luliano wanted something to embody fully who he was in case anything were to happen to him.
On "Who Knows," the great pop melody builds and heightens in suspense along with the soaring electronica as luliano fully enlists his falsetto vocals. The single is filled with pressing electric guitar melodies even though luliano has professed that it is not an instrument he is all that familiar with.
luliano readily transports us into the subliminal with his extraordinary experimental format of music, a cadence that fulfills with its air for the ethereal and soaring. The vocals, executed in layers of hushed sensibilities, are accompanied by a wave of guitars and electronic embellishments.
The haunting vibe that is elicited balances a highly electronic-based sound with a lush soundscape of acoustic instrumentation as well as one saturated in electro elements.
The MV itself features the artist's duplicated image progressively going on to encompass the lyrics that talks about the evolution of oneself as one evolves over and over again to at last return to one's former identity along the way.
With the manifestation of Hidden Roots, luliano is ready to put his role of producer to use and implement his engineering and arranging talents into his solo work.

Featured Review: *Note* Changed My Review a Bit And the Score
Lazy bum
*NOTE* Changed my review a bit and the score, because with the Gold Version, it has some new stuff and actually fixed the bugs most people here have been talking about!
Okay, I'm going to write a review for my own creation. I'm trying to be as honest as possible.
I think this D-Mod is a very nice start. It has some bugs, yeah, but it's a very big game. BTW the patch fixes the bugs (even the variables).
The plot isn't excactly original, but it's okay. Biggest + of the game is the many details and good music, but the biggest - is the unclear storyline, or maybe the lack of something really innovative. The scripting wasn't special (except for the boss, that had some nice stuff in it). I guess this game is pretty average here.
GRAPHICS 7,3: The standard graphics have been used pretty good. A lot of details and no empty or boring screens. However, the self made graphics are pretty crappy.
SOUND 8: I really like the midis in this game (DUH, I chose them myself)
they fit in the game and situations perfectly. Not much new sound effects though.
GAMEPLAY 6,8: Hmmmm, I think still some bugs. Side quests have nothing to do with the plot, no big deal but the plot is already so unclear. The game plays nice enough for me and it's really big. But it could have been a lot better if it weren't for some errors.
It plays all nice though, and feels a bit like an old school SNES rpg. With the Gold Version comes also some nice extra's, but you'll have to see them yourself.
LASTING APPEAL 8,4: You have to admit it. It's big, and it has quite a lot of secrets. Some people will quit halfway the game because it's too much of the same over and over again, or because of bugs, but once you give it a good try, it lasts for quite a while.

EU vs Facebook
News. Six European data authorities are going after and fining Facebook for abusing European personal data and not adhering the the laws. The allegations are long: Unlawful tracking. Legal requirements regarding consent, fairness, transparency and proportionality not met. Insufficient information about the use of personal data. Not allowing pseudonyms.
Facebook and other U.S. Internet firms have often made the argument that only the local law of the country in which they are headquartered should apply in the EU – here Ireland – the collective DPAs responded to that argument directly in a common statement;
"The DPAs united in the Contact Group conclude that their respective national data protection law applies to the processing of personal data of users and non-users by the Facebook Group in their respective countries and that each DPA has competence."
In a statement to The Privacy Advisor, Facebook did not engage with the legal arguments in the DPAs' statement. "At Facebook, putting people in control of their privacy is at the heart of everything we do," said a spokesman. "We have invested a huge amount of time and resources to ensure that people understand which information we collect and the choices they have over how it is used. We've built teams of people who focus on the protection of privacy — from engineers to designers — and designed tools that give people choice and control. We'll continue responding to officials' questions, particularly as we prepare for Europe's new data protection framework in 2018."
There is no indication, however, writes The Privacy Advisor, that Facebook has changed its stance regarding applicable EU law.
The DPAs in the Contact Group appear to be concerned with two basic Facebook actions. First, the combination of data gathered via WhatsApp with the data gathered from Facebook users. Second is a larger issue where DPAs do not believe Facebook's tracking methods and targeting advertising methods are lawful.

DO NOT ALLOW THIS. The environmental impact alone would be an irreversible waste. To think it could not, would not, affect human life is ignorant.

Our role in this project was primarily to explore a newer, younger feel to the brand. We were tasked with giving it a fresher feel and one that was quite a large departure from the product's older, more established identity.Initially we looked closely at the established colours and sought to enliven our palette a little more. It was not possible to stray too far from the original ident though as it has a pedigree of over 100 years.
There were key aspects that had to be incorporated into the brand, its established date, naturally, it's name and the star. Texture was another aspect we felt keen to explore given that the product itself has such a rich texture. This was an aspect we felt was somewhat missing from its traditional origin. We were also fortunate enough to create an illustration to contextualise and compliment the product but needed to make sure that the artwork didn't overshadow or knock back the brand in any way whilst, at the same time retain its demographic.
Above is our re-imagined star, quite literally, of our brand. At this stage we just wanted to see how far we could push the concept and ended up with some very interesting results. Here's one of them. A few elements from our artwork which include our CG bottle, groovy CG bubbles and the limited edition branding that we also created. We also made a short animation showing our Heineken star appearing out of our branded tunnel. Needless to say we had a lot of fun making this.

China's philanthropic void
Macarena Olsen
Even though it has the world's second largest population of billionaires, China ranks 144th out of 145 countries on CAF 's World Giving Index which measures the percentage of a population that engages in charitable giving and volunteer work, as well as how willing people are to help strangers. What could account for this philanthropic gap? Oliver Rui at Forbes explains:
"Most of the wealth in China is "new money" – there are not yet Chinese equivalents of the Rockefellers or the Cadburys with family foundations that have been in place for generations. The majority of wealthy entrepreneurs in China are still young compared to their western counterparts; most are in their forties and fifties and have not yet begun to think about philanthropic activities.
China has also lacked a regulatory infrastructure to support private philanthropy; most charity organizations are initiated by government or semi-government organizations. Private companies and individuals who want to set up a charitable foundation have faced a daunting amount of red tape and compliance requirements that can be impractical if not impossible to meet. A lack of transparency and other good governance standards common to charity organizations in developed countries has led to several high profile scandals that have made the public feel Chinese charities are not so trustworthy. Hoping to relieve some of these bottlenecks to giving, the government issued new regulations earlier this year, but it's still too early to know how effective they will be."

Q: Calling a function from a parent class to test the child class I'm a writing a test with Jest and Enzyme to test the functionality of a component in a React Native application.
There is a parent component and a child component that used a method in the parent to instantiate.
To elaborate, here is a abridged version of the parent class:
const TeamDetail = React.createClass({
  propTypes: {
    team: PropTypes.object.isRequired,

   ...[INSERT MANY REQUIRED PROPS HERE]

    viewTeamMessageFeed: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
  },

    ... INIT LOGIC ...

  render() {
    return (
      <TabContainer
        containerStyle={styles.tabContainer}
        primaryTab={'board'}
        tabs={this.tabs()}
        />
    )
  },
  tabs() {
    let tabs = [
      this.tab('board', this.renderBoard()),
    ];

    return (tabs);
  },
  tab(name: string, panel: Object) {
    let empty = true;
    return({name: name, panel: panel, empty: empty})
  },
  renderBoard() {
    return(
      <LeagueTeamAbout
        item={this.props.team}
        details={this.teamDetails()}
      />
    )
  },
  ...MORE METHODS...THIS NEXT ONE IS IMPORTANT:
  renderMessagingButton() {
    if (this.props.canMessage) {
      return (
        <StyledButton buttonText='Messaging' onPress={() => this.props.viewTeamMessageFeed(this.props.team)} />
      );
    }
    return null;
  ...

OK, so that's the parent.
I'm testing the parent component <LeagueTeamAbout/>
That component has a details property that is set by the teamDetails() method. teamDetails() returns a details object that includes a messaging attribute that is set by the renderMessagingButton() method.
I'm trying to write a test that expects the messagingButton to execute the viewTeamMessageFeed() method upon being tapped by the user.
How do I write this test? I need to somehow call renderMessagingButton() to mock the LeagueTeamAbout details object.
How do I call the parent component's renderMessagingButton() function from the LeagueTeamAbout-test.js file?

A: I'm not sure the test you are describing makes sense to write. The issue is that from LeagueTeamAbout's perspective, it doesn't know anything about StyleButton. StyleButton is passed in as part of a prop to LeagueTeamAbout, but it presumably could be passed any number of other things.
In general, you don't take into account all the places a component may be used when writing a unit test for it; it's just about testing the component's functionality in isolation. You wouldn't want to have to update a component's test every time you use it somewhere else, unless you actually changed that component's functionality in some way.
You would test the interaction between the LeagueTeamAbout component and the StyleButton component in TeamDetail-test.js, since that's where these two components appear together. I would write a test there that basically asserts the LeagueTeamAbout component is passed the correct details prop (including the StyleButton's) given different sets of props (canMessage set to true and false, for instance)
