If you are struggling to stay afloat in a sea of escalating debt, you may feel as though you are isolated and alone in your quest for financial liberation. Debt can have a negative impact in both our daily routines and future financial endeavors, whether the liabilities are related to credit card use, back taxes or mortgage payments. What may begin as a few late payments can quickly escalate into a collections issue, and before long, you may find yourself completely submerged in what you owe.
Being in debt is hard enough when you have a job, but what about the millions of people in South Florida who have been laid off, experienced a pay cut or have had their schedules drastically reduced? Many people can't even imagine what life would be like without the endless creditor letters, harassing collection agency calls and threats of repossession and foreclosure. Though it may feel as though you have nowhere to turn to for assistance, there is a way for debtors in Fort Lauderdale to obtain the relief they deserve – bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy is a federal process by which a debtor declares they are unable to pay off what they owe to lenders. In doing so, the debtor may become eligible to reduce or even wipe out their financial obligations entirely. In Florida, there are a number of bankruptcy petitions that can be filed by both individuals and businesses who are looking to lower their debts, but it's important for potential applicants to understand that the process of applying for bankruptcy protection – and actually getting approved – is not as easy as merely filling out a form. There are several restrictions and qualification standards that influence an applicant's eligibility, including income, occupation, length of time in debt, and asset holdings, which can be both misleading and confusing. There are also dozens of forms that must be completed, documentation to prove you are in debt by as much as you claim and unable to make timely payments to debt collectors or the IRS, and above all else, you must successfully pass the "Means Test," which compares your income to the average within your earning block.
Though bankruptcy can be the powerful catalyst you have been waiting for to attain that fresh, debt-free start, if you don't know the full extent of your rights, you may end up owing more money than you did to begin with. Having an experienced bankruptcy lawyer on your side can mean the difference between attaining a swift and successful resolution for your case and becoming submerged even further into debt. Since 1986, Steve Glerum has dedicated his life to helping individuals overcome their financial barriers and will put his expertise to work for you.
On the very first consultation, Glerum Law will provide you with all the information on the state's unique bankruptcy laws you need to thoroughly understand the process and your legal rights, insight into what you can realistically expect during proceedings if you are approved, and what your future debt-free life can bring.
Let's explore Florida's Bankruptcy Laws further.
Before you can file a petition for bankruptcy protection in Florida, you must undergo credit counseling. The 2005 Bankruptcy Act stipulates that all debtors filing for bankruptcy on or after October 17, 2005 must undergo credit counseling six months prior to filing. Once that's taken care of, then it's time to take the Means Test to determine if you are eligible for bankruptcy protection. If your average income for the six months prior to filing for bankruptcy is lower than the Florida average for a household of the same size, then you qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and you can be on the road to financial recovery.
Once your case is underway, there are certain assets that must be liquidated in order for your debts to be discharged. However, Florida Bankruptcy Law allows for several exemptions and will protect many of your belongings and accounts from creditor seizure. Below is a list of some of the many exemptions you can expect, but with bankruptcy lawyer Steve Glerum's help, you may be able to add additional exemptions.
If you would like to learn more about your rights under the Florida Bankruptcy Law, contact Glerum Law today to schedule a free consultation.


The teenage years have a bad rap. Yes, they are hard, compared to childhood, but that could be because parents are allowing their kids to get a taste of the real world outside of the boundaries of a safe home. Or they are hard because some are dealt harder cards to live through. Either way, the teenage years have been given a bad name because of all the issues that seem to appear out of nowhere.
It seems that too many of the horrible events of teens come from scenarios where the teen does not have an adult in his or her life to communicate with. An adult that has earned his or her confidence, someone to share with as adult issues seep into their lives.
If you have been here for any length of time, you know that I am an advocate for allowing literature to be a bridge that allows adults to relate to teens on a level playing field. Teens want to be seen as adults, and this option is a great tool to get the ball rolling when it comes to discussing issues that adults want to parent through, while teens desperately want to be treated like equals.
One such topic is eating disorders.
Might I suggest this next book for those parents who are looking for ways to connect with the teens in their lives that might be suffering from an eating disorder?
Running Lean ** follows Calvin Greenlee as he searches for closure following his brother's death, which happens before the book opens. Stacey, a passionate artist, steps into Calvin's life just as he is looking for someone to help fill the space his brother Michael, left. She quickly becomes his girlfriend, a girl he always wanted. However, he soon discovers Stacey as a few issues of her own, and how she decides to deal with them quickly becomes unhealthy.
Calvin has to decide how he will support Stacey as she looks to him to be her everything, in a very unhealthy way.
Diana L Sharples did an amazing job of creating a male character that seemed like the average teenager. He had some personal issues that could have destroyed him and his family, but with a lot of love and prayer, his family was able to pull through. He had a good group of friends to support him, a hobby to keep him busy and a girlfriend who loved him in the hard times. And for that, I wanted to love this book.
This book always took an extremely difficult subject, eating disorders, specifically anorexia, and made it real. So many teenagers, and young girls for that matter feel ugly for one reason or another (Stacey's was horrific, at least the root) and often turn to crazy diets that spiral out of control. This leaves family, friends, and others lost and confused as they desperately try to help. This book does an amazing job of showcasing this.
The overall speed of this book, for me, was slow. I mean, like a soap opera that appears to be on repeat, except for the outfits the characters are wearing. Yes, I know the author was trying to show how the issues slowly creep in and that spiral can sneak in before you even realize how far down you are, but this was a little too much.
I wasn't able to finish this particular book because Stacey's character just didn't compel me to keep reading. I got fed up with Calvin and his choices when it came to Stacey and how he needed to walk away from this girl.
While this book wasn't my cup of tea, I do see how this could be an incredible book for so many teenagers. The characters were real, the setting extremely believable, and the message very timely. For teenagers, boys and girls, who are dealing with this horrific disease in one way or another, this is a must-read. For parents whose teens are struggling with eating disorders, this book could be a priceless tool, full of insight and perspective.
Personally, I can only give this book a two heart rating, because, for me, it wasn't a good read. But please do not allow this to sway you if this sounds like a book you'd be interested. The quality of writing was good, and the development thought out.
I would suggest a mature audience for this book, as the subject matter is deep. I don't want to put an age on this though (probably at least 13) because I know many girls that started down the anorexia spiral at a young age. Just know that this book is full of serious subject matter, which can be hard to read and fully grasp without maturity. For adults looking for some insight into teens who are dealing with this topic, this could be a great read.
For parents with young teens, would you read a book with your teen if it might open up the door to meaningful conversation? How would you go about discussing eating disorders and mental illness with your kids?

Q: Remove children from object graph (JavaScript) How can I recurse child arrays in a given object graph and remove items without knowing the array name?  All of my objects have three audit fields:
{
  id,            // String
  userId,        // String
  createdDate,   // Date
  updatedDate,   // Date - OPTIONAL
  deletedDate    // Date - OPTIONAL
}

If the deletedDate property exists then the item should be removed from the array.
Example:
var companies = [
    {
      id : 'abc123',
      name : 'ABC, Inc.',
      employees: [
        {
          id : 'abc-01',
          name : 'Joe',
          createdDate: '1/1/2015',
          userId : 'asdf87612'
        },
        {
          id : 'abc-02',
          name : 'Mike',
          createdDate: '1/1/2015',
          deletedDate: '1/2/2015'
          userId : 'asdf87612'
        }
      ]
      createdDate: '1/1/2015',
      userId : 'asdf87612'
    }
];

The function needs to be generic enough to 1) find all properties that are arrays, and 2) recurse the array to find items that have the deletedDate property set, and 3) remove the item from the array if the deletedDate value has been set.
In the example above, the Employee "Mike" would be removed from the array.
I've been trying to use Lodash for this but have not been successful... and just deleted my test file while I was experimenting.  I'll recreate it again so the folks on SO know I'm not trying to slack off.
Original Method
This was my first (rather ugly) attempt at it:
function removeDeleted (itemOrArray) {
    if (itemOrArray == null || typeof itemOrArray == 'undefined') { return itemOrArray; }
    var result = [],
        items = (itemOrArray instanceof Array) ? itemOrArray : [itemOrArray];
    for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i += 1) {
        if (items[i].dateDeleted) { continue; }
        for (var k = 0; k < Object.keys(items[i]).length; k += 1) {
            var key = Object.keys(items[i])[k];
            if (items[i][key] instanceof Array) {
                items[i][key] = removeDeleted(items[i].key);
            }
        }
        result.push(items[i]);
    }
    return result;
}

A: Something like this with lodash should work.
var companies = companies.map(function(company) {
  // map each value of the company
  return _.omitBy(_.mapValues(company, function(value) {
    // if the value is an array, remove an object in the array if the `deletedDate` prop exists
    if(Array.isArray(value)) {
      return _.remove(value, function(o) { return 'deletedDate' in o });
    } else {
      return value;
    }
  }), function(value) {
    return Array.isArray(value) && value.length === 0;
  });
});

Food SCAMS is a continuing article series in which Dr. Chauncey Crandall warns consumers and health advocates alike about the many and varied food scams that threaten a healthy life style.
To stay healthy, you need to shop healthy. This means watching out for food scams, because, if you fall for them, all your careful shopping can be undone. And one of the trickiest scams centers on food labeling, warns renowned heart physician and cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall.
"Food manufacturers can be very tricky. They know that people will flock to buy foods that are supposed to be good for them, and they expect to pay more for them as well. So they've come up with clever scams to make foods seem more wholesome than they are, or to hide unhealthy ingredients" Dr. Crandall says.
"With the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and government health experts urging people to eat whole grains, not refined, it's obvious to fall for a label that say "multigrain," so this is a particularly sneaky scam," says Dr. Crandall. But these products are likely to contain "enriched wheat flour and –guess what –that means refined. Instead, Dr. Crandall says, make sure that the products you buy, including those that contain a variety of grains, specify that they are whole grains, like whole wheat, whole or rolled oats, or brown rice. Don't fall for the multigrain scam!
We know to stay away from fried foods, but don't those "baked" chips, crackers or other products seem more healthful? They may seem that way, but they can also be a scam, warns Dr. Crandall. Watch out for products made from ingredients like potato flakes, starch, oil, and other ingredients. "Be cautious also when buying chips made from pita or bagels as well, because these are most likely made from refined flour, which is the type you should stay away from," he says. This also goes for products like "popped chips," as well, because they are made from processed potato flour and starch as well.
"If you are confronted with two identical items, and one is labeled 'natural,' you'll probably choose it and never even realize you're falling for a scam, but most likely you are," says Dr. Crandall. The problem is that food labeled as 'natural' do not need to meet any specific labeling requirements, but foods that are certified as organic do. So buy whole food, preferably those certified as "organic," and forget about looking for that 'natural' label.

Q: The use of tau cuts from an ordered logistic regression I runned several ordered logistic regression using the polr function from the MASS package and interpreted the odds ratios for each model. However, I'm in doubt how to use the intercepts/tau-cuts from the regression summary output. Can I use them to say that the distance between each category is far or close to the higher order?
I have 7 independent variables and each variable have many categories, so I don't think it make sense to calculate each value using the intercepts and estimate coeff and insert them in the regression model to get values (hope this make sense).

Peter Hook & The Light Tickets
Holmfirth Picturedrome
Plenty of Substance to Hooky's latest outing...
by wendavey on 18th April 2013 06:09
The highlight was She's Lost Control & Shadowplay - great double whammy
It could be argued that taking such an iconic back catalogue as Joy Division's two studio albums and performing them in full, was a risky undertaking, even given Hook's unique credentials for the task. As things turned out there was no need to worry. Taking to the stage in front of a backdrop of the debut album's iconic "pulsar" artwork and Bernard Pierre Wolff's tomb shot from "Closer" the band kicked off with three standalone tracks, "Dead Souls", "Digital" and "Glass", the latter augmented by vocals from Crispy Ambulance's Alan Hempsall. Introducing Hempsall, Hook explained that at Joy Division's infamous riot marred 1980 Derby Hall gig in Bury when Ian Curtis was taken ill, it was Hempsall that had stood in for Curtis. Hempsall would also later guest on both "Disorder" and "Transmission". The other guest vocalist during the evening was Rowetta who performed on "Insight", "New Dawn Fades", "Colony" and a brooding "Atmosphere" during the encore.
It has to be said that Hook's vocals, while not mimicking those of Curtis, were eerily well suited to the material. Dressed in a black "I Am The Sound" t-shirt and with the rest of the band happy to adopt low-key anonymous roles, this was a no nonsense performance with the band on stage for over two hours apart from a very brief break between the end of the "Pleasures" and start of the "Closer" performances, and the encores. Indeed, the band over ran and with the curfew imminent, Hook offered the audience a dreadful choice - did we want "Love Will Tear Us Apart" or "Temptation" as the final song? The responses to the respective cheers were weighed, and "Temptation" got the nod. Not my choice, but admittedly, it did prove a fine way to close the show.
A special mention must go to the Picturedrome which again proved to be an excellent venue, offering great views, a reasonably priced bar, and good, sensible security staff. They deserve to go from strength to strength.

[FIFA] The Handicap Mystery Finally Solved!
"One of the most controversial subjects in the FIFA community is that of Scripting/Momentum/Handicap (for the purposes of brevity, I'll call it handicap in this post – though I'm aware that scripting and momentum refer to slightly different issues). Handicap is described as the feeling of sluggishness, poor ball control and general bad luck that some players with a high-rated team experience when they face a player which has a low-rated team. This only seems to happen when they face a team which is substantially lower rated than theirs, hence why it is referred to as "handicap" – almost as if the game is compensating for their opponent's poorer players."
I went on to explain that it was a controversial subject and how bringing it up on official forums would get the post deleted and after many years of the theory being decried by official and unofficial sources as false, it was considered superstition or conspiracy theory.
Today we might finally have cracked the case. Users /u/RighteousOnix and /u/TheFakeNepentheZ (someone whose practices with regards to coin selling I do not agree with, but in this case I must concede has done great work), seem to have pinpointed exactly the issue which we've struggled with since the advent of Ultimate Team in 2010.
This is potentially HUGE, as it will confirm the suspicions of thousands of FIFA players over many many generations of the game. It will show that EA either knowingly or unknowingly has been handicapping high rated teams in contrast to low rated teams, and it will vindicate all us supposed nut-jobs who have been arguing that handicapping really does exist and its not just in our heads.
To explain the glitch I will need to explain two important features of FIFA Ultimate Team mode - chemistry and upgraded cards.
Chemistry is the degree to which your players work well together - the higher the chemistry your player has, the better he will perform on the pitch.
You can raise the chemistry of your players in a number of ways, play them in the correct position, play them alongside players from the same league, team or of the same nationality, assign them a manager from the same league or of the same nationality and so on.
Players can have chemistry score of 1-10 (in FIFA16 at least).
What chemistry actually does is that the higher your players chemistry score, the more his in-game stats are boosted, conversely the lower the chemistry the more his stats are reduced. The threshold is chemistry 4: at chemistry 4 your players stats in game are exactly as they are displayed on his card. Anything from chemistry 5-10 and your player will be getting his stats boosted, between 1-3 and his stats are reduced.
It turns out that there is a glitch where certain players will be considered to be at 4 chemistry regardless of any other measures you take to increase the displayed chemistry score. But this glitch only occurs for what is now known as "non-day 1 cards".
It has a pretty picture and its black and most importantly it has better stats. His pace stat (PAC) has gone from 94 to 95, shooting (SHO) from 83 to 86 and passing (PAS) from 83 to 85 and so on. For that week (Wednesday to Wednesday) this card is available in packs. At the end of the week it stops dropping and the original card returns to packs.
The 87 rated Bale card is his "day 1" card, the 88 rated is an "in form". There are other types of changes to cards, sometimes EA will release position changed cards (Bale has one in a striker role, as opposed to his right midfielder role on his original card), and at the end of the year the very prestigious "Team of the Season" cards are released and these cards often go for many hundreds of thousands of coins.
What our intrepid FIFAites have discovered is that chemistry is bugged for any card which is not the "day 1" version.
Day 1 versions of cards will receive all the proper boosts which come from achieving 10 chemistry score - that is, a significant boost to in game stats. Whereas any other version of the card will only ever be considered to be on 4 chemistry and will therefore receive absolutely no benefit from increasing his chemistry to 10.
This means that sometimes the day 1 card on full chemistry will have better stats than the considerably more expensive in form versions of the card, as these non-day-1 cards receive no chemistry boosts.
All credit to MarakariPrime - contacts on the image.
Here you see the leftmost card is his day-1 card (NIF means non in form), compared to his day-1 card with 10 chemistry in the middle, and his recently awarded man of the match card on the right. Notice how the middle card is almost as good, and often better, in stats than the rightmost card. His pace, shooting, passing and dribbling are better than the significantly more expensive MOTM card, and his defending and physical stats are almost as good.
Same again here - the leftmost card is Aubameyang's day-1 card. The right-most is his exceedingly expensive in form card. The second card from the left is his 82 rated day 1 card with full chemistry and it is superior in every stat compared to his 85 rated in form card, as well as being significantly better than the upgraded 84 rated card he received in the winter upgrades list (which, as it is not a day-1 card, is also glitched).
This glitch has not been discovered until now because the stats boosts attributed as a result of high chemistry scores are not displayed on the card, instead they are hidden. So the only way we've been able to tell the difference is the way the player feels to play with in game - which is a nebulous concept to pin down.
THIS is why sometimes high rated teams feel slow, awkward and clumsy in comparison to low rated teams. Low rated teams will contain many of the cheaper "day 1" cards which receive significant boosts to stats from their chemistry score, whereas higher rated teams full of upgraded versions of players will only ever be using their base stats as if they are glitched on 4 chemistry.
I have to say, if this is proven to be true then it is really satisfying to be vindicated in my assertions that there was something effecting the performance of highly rated teams in FIFA. How or why this glitch made it into the code for FIFA in the first place and exactly how it seems to have survived not only many generations of the game itself, but also survived the jump to a whole new console generation we might never know! But by highlighting the problem to EA perhaps it might be fixed in time for FIFA17 later this year.
Below is a few of the technical details as to how this glitch was discovered, as well as RighteousOnix's original video explaining how he uncovered it.

Q: Null reference exception when try to get link by class in HtmlAgilityPack I have asp.net mvc application and html page which I parse using HtmlAgilityPack, but when I try looping my elements I have next error in my foreach: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. My code is next. Does anybody know where is my mistake? I'm new with using htmlagilitypack.
Part of HTML:

    1
    Google

CODE
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
string dtf = String.Format("{0:u}", dt);
string wp = "page" + dtf + ".html";
HtmlDocument HD = new HtmlDocument();
HD.Load(wp);
string output = "";
foreach (HtmlNode node in HD.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//a[@class='b-serp-item__title-link']"))
{
    output += node.GetAttributeValue("href", null) + " ";
}

Html output I was shared in google drive:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-m-r5Ce0gOSTlzUGlTT1VBb00/edit?usp=sharing

A: I ran your code with one slight change, I used HtmlDocument.LoadHtml(stringContents) instead of HtmlDocument.Load(path) and then it works flawlessly.
I suspect that the code is unable to find the file from the path. Ensure that the file exists using File.Exists(wp) and consider using a fully qualified path instead of just the file name by using wp = Path.GetFullPath(wp).
Or read the contents first using string contents = File.ReadAllText(wp); to grab the contents and then use the LoadHtml method on the HtmlDocument.


Need a fun DIY crochet blanket? This intermediate crochet project is perfect for a DIY baby gift or DIY gifting in general! The detail on this blanket is so unique, and it's created by using the single crochet method. Not only is this blanket beautiful but it's also an affordable gift idea. The ability to customize this blanket makes it so convenient and the blanket is even machine washable!
In the Designer's Words: "This pretty little blanket is made using 4 of my Four Points Squares. The single crochet join as you go method is used to join them together, then a border is added. This blanket will make a lovely addition to the room of any little star in your life! Plus, it can be machine washed and dried thanks to the Red Heart Super Saver yarn it's made from!"
This is the perfect size for a lap blanket but adding a few more motifs could easily make this fit any size bed. My niece came to mind when I saw this project. She is such a shining star and I want to show her how proud I am of her. I can't wait to get started.
Can you say vivid colors my friends! I love this. Until I clicked to see the directions I was thinking that this design would be made with a lot of motifs joined. I was pleasantly surprised that it is only for motifs and an astonishing border that makes this 4 points star crochet blanket.
I love the brightness of this 4-Points Star Crochet Blanket. The written pattern is well written and easy to understand. This blanket will be great for summer time when you just need to be covered up. I think the 4-points star pattern is something I can make into a shawl or even make into a poncho. So many ideas running through my head with this pattern, the ideas are endless. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern.

As a Chartered Trading Standards Institute approved ADR Competent Authority, DGCOS provides unbiased dispute resolution services completely FREE of charge for homeowners.
DGCOS is approved by Government under the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Competent Authorities and Information) Regulations 2015
Alternative dispute resolution is where a 'neutral person' helps the parties try to reach a settlement, preferably a negotiated settlement. The 'neutral person' could be an officer of DGCOS or someone appointed by DGCOS to discuss the problems with both parties to try to reach an agreement without the need to progress to the Ombudsman. Mediation and conciliation are mechanisms designed to bring the matter to a speedy conclusion but may not provide the final and binding resolution of a dispute.
Why do I need ADR?
In certain circumstances, you may find that you are unable to reach a conclusion with an installer in the event of a dispute. It's in these times when ADR can help find a resolution to your complaint. ADR is unbiased and will find a fair resolution to the dispute and agree this with both parties.
What does ADR involve?
Mediation and conciliation
Mediation and conciliation are a voluntary process to help settle a dispute. It's a flexible way to help reach a speedy conclusion but it may not provide a final and binding resolution of a dispute. At DGCOS we appoint an officer to discuss the problems with both parties to try to reach an agreement without the need to progress to the Ombudsman.
Independent inspections
The mediator/conciliator may, at any time, deem it necessary to instruct an independent inspector to carry out an inspection of the installation undertaken by the DGCOS member and provide a report. The report may then be used by the mediator/conciliator to further the mediation/conciliation process in an attempt to reach an agreed resolution between the parties. For transparency, copies of the report will be supplied to all parties in the dispute with each party being given time to review the contents prior to continuation of the mediation/conciliation process.
All of our dispute resolution services are free of charge to consumers.
Who are the DGCOS ADR team?
Our Dispute Resolution Officers (DROs) are friendly, approachable and down-to-earth. They have many years' experience and are experts in successfully resolving numerous disputes. They are trained to listen and to provide a firm and a fair helping hand to consumers and DGCOS members. They help to get the complaint resolved as quickly as possible with the most appropriate outcome. They also work closely with companies to provide one-to-one support and industry-wide advice; this helps to improve the way services are delivered and complaints are handled.
What is DGCOS's process?
Our processes are designed to be high quality, proportionate and effective. We have award-winning and industry-leading ADR services with disputes being resolved on average within 3.59 days, and 98.4% of disputes being resolved in-house without need for referral to the Ombudsman.
If the consumer chooses not to accept our decision, their (the complainant) legal rights remain unaffected and they can take the matter to court – subject to any requirements set by the courts.
We ensure our services are widely accessible. We base our decisions on what is fair and reasonable.
If one of the parties has sought to deliberately mislead us on a matter relating to the existence or non-existence of one of the grounds for refusing to deal with the dispute, we retain the right to immediately refuse to deal with the dispute any further, even after the three-week deadline has passed.
When we make a decision we take into account:
– both sides of the story;
– regulatory rules, guidance and standards;
– our codes of practice, relevant law and regulations;
– what is accepted as good industry practice.
We will accept cross-border complaints, which is where the trader and consumer reside in different countries.
Consumers can be represented or assisted by a third party.
Consumers do not need to get any independent advice from a solicitor to access our services.
If we accept your complaint we will decide the best way to resolve it and will aim to find a resolution that both you and the company agree on.
The legal effect of the outcome of our procedure is binding on our members, not on the consumer.
You can withdraw from the process at any point. In exceptional circumstances, where the Ombudsman considers it necessary (as a matter of sole discretion) a site visit, an expert report or a face-to-face meeting (or hearing) may be arranged.
Consumers can request all the documents we hold in relation to their complaint.
How to complain and who to complain to
Before we can accept your complaint you must give the company a reasonable opportunity to resolve it. If you receive the company's final position on the complaint (deadlock) and you remain unhappy, or eight weeks pass and the complaint remains unresolved, we may be able to help.
Initial complaint submissions can be written in any language that can be translated by Google Translate. Our responses, however, will be in English only.
Our procedures can be conducted by both oral and written means, in English.
If you would like to make a complaint to us then please complete our online form.
Main reasons complaints are rejected
There are times when we are unable to accept a complaint request. Some of the reasons include:
– the customer has not first attempted to resolve the complaint directly with the trader;
– the dispute is frivolous or vexatious;
– the dispute is currently being, or has in the past been, considered by another ADR scheme or court;
– the value of the claim exceeds the maximum value of an award that we can make;
– the company was not a member of one of our schemes during the period the work was carried out;
– the customer has not submitted the dispute within the required time and;
– dealing with the dispute would seriously impair the effective operation of our schemes.
What happens if ADR doesn't work?
In the unfortunate event ADR doesn't work you will have free access to the Ombudsman.

80s Throwback - Setting the Scene for Flashdance The Musical
The 1980s: and it all started so well…
THE whole world watched as Charles and Di sealed the knot on live TV. You either loved that crumpled silk confection that she got married in or you hated it. It wasn't long before the fairytale wedding became the horror story break-up but, on that hot summer day in 1981, we all thought it would end happily ever after.
The decade hadn't started so well. While both The Pope and US president Ronald Reagan had survived assassination attempts just a few months before, John Lennon had been shot dead in New York just before Christmas 1980.
Great Britain wobbled as Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands and Margaret Thatcher gained the nickname 'The Iron Lady' when she sent in the troops to defend them.
As tens of thousands died, poisoned by a chemical gas leak in Bhopal, India, Michael Jackson moon-walked for the first time and ET and Back to the Future became blockbuster movie hits.
In the '80s, the deadliest nuclear power plant accident ever occurred at Chernobyl, Donald Trump stepped out into the media spotlight for the first time and, grasped in their hot little hands, every kid had a Game Boy or a Rubik Cube. In Tiananmen Square hundreds of peacefully demonstrating Chinese students were killed when the government brutally quashed the protest.
But it wasn't all doom and gloom. As the decade came to a close, the Berlin Wall was torn down, Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, gifted the World Wide Web to us all and, in 1983, Flashdance, the movie, was released and girl power triumphed!
Celebrate the best of the 80's and see Flashdance the Musical, here at the Belgrade Theatre, running 4-8 Sep. Tickets are available to book now.

The Techie Mayor Who May Be Tennessee's Next Governor
By Nick Fouriezos
Because a tech boom could transform your town next.
Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke is a Waffle House kind of guy — single waffle, scattered hash browns, that's his jam. But today he's showing me his hometown's Innovation District, an up-and-coming neighborhood of startups and incubators he's helped engineer, so instead we've hit a trendy breakfast spot with brick walls, savory biscuits and, by 8 a.m., a long line. As we wait to get in, Berke can't resist; he wanders off to shake hands with some firefighters, a few city economic wonks and the restaurant's owners.
Once seated, we get talking about the Gig: the reason global think tanks, urban planners and business leaders have trekked here to pick Berke's brain. The citywide program, funded by a $170 million municipal bond and $111 million federal grant, is perhaps the most effective public-Internet operation in the country; high-powered fiber optics offer every home and business up to one-gigabyte-per-second speed for a low price. The Gig was running before Berke took office in 2013, but he's upped the ante and it's paid off: More than two dozen startups have located here since 2012. "What the Gig did was change the idea of what our city could be," Berke says. It's also got Tennessee Democrats thinking Berke could be the next governor.
Tax breaks are still a big business incentive, but digital infrastructure is increasingly becoming the ultimate sweetener.
Old-school manufacturing cities across the U.S. are turning to tech to heal the recession's scars. From St. Louis' Cortex Innovation Community to Boston's own Innovation District, neighborhood technology centers are on the rise. "These cities have what businesses want," says Bruce Katz, a Brookings Institution scholar who studies urban renovation. Fortune 500 companies like IBM, Siemens and Verizon are selling smart-city services that add to the mix, and the White House has pledged $160 million to 60 cities to join the party. Tax breaks are still a big business incentive, but digital infrastructure is increasingly becoming the ultimate sweetener.
Mayor Andy Berke says he is working to ensure "every citizen is empowered to live the life of their choosing."
Source Stephen Voss/Redux
Stanford-educated Berke, with silver-flecked hair and wire-rimmed glasses, lays out his plans with a techie's energy and a policy wonk's nerdy know-how. He pulls up a chart on his iPhone showing how arrests have decreased since the city focused on policing violent criminals over sweating smaller stuff like disturbing the peace. In a meeting with faith leaders, the subject is economic salvation: The city's jobless rate dropped from 7.8 percent in April 2013 to 5.4 percent two years later, and the city had the country's third-highest wage growth last year. "What we're trying to do, with y'all's help, is to make sure that every citizen is empowered to live the life of their choosing," he says before launching into Affordable Care Act sign-ups and discussing revitalizing poor neighborhoods. It's a red-state Democrat's stump speech — jobs, jobs and, oh, yeah, don't forget about the little guy.
Tennessee's statehouse is mostly Republican, but its five biggest cities are led by Democrats, and recent history shows metro mayors often reach higher office. The last two governors, Democrat Phil Bredesen and Republican Bill Haslam, were mayors of Nashville and Knoxville, respectively. U.S. Sen. Bob Corker was Chattanooga's mayor. Berke, a family practice lawyer and former state senator, says he's focused on his job for now. But that hasn't stopped Democrats from touting him as a 2018 governor candidate.
"Times change, and they often change without warning," Berke says, speaking both to his state's GOP shift in the late 1990s and to a possible Democratic comeback. Unlike some more cautious Southern liberals, Berke isn't afraid to let his blue freak flag fly, emulating his political hero, Lyndon B. Johnson, with Great Society dreams on a smaller scale. Once the "dirtiest city in America" with rampant pollution from coal and railroads, Chattanooga now offers subsidies for residents who make eco-friendly improvements, and it plans to harvest solar energy from homes. Two lanes of a main corridor, Broad Street, will soon be dedicated bike paths.
So much change in a short time has some residents uneasy. Mayor Berke "always looks you in the eye and smiles," says Alison Falinski, who has been a Chattanoogan for 21 years. But, she gripes, "the community has no input" in moves like new bike lanes or tax incentives the city hands out "like candy." Berke has also been criticized for acting more like a CEO than a mayor, eliminating 18 of the previous mayor's 21 appointees, for example. Former director of city parks and recreation Larry Zehnder says that's throwing away the city's institutional memory. "I love creativity and new ideas, but you can't do it in a vacuum," Zehnder says.
Berke acknowledges the concerns but believes the changes are for the better (and notes the bike lanes were discussed at public meetings). Later, I ask Berke if there is a side of him that the public hasn't seen yet. "I don't really have anything," he says, laughing nervously. Says an aide: "He hates the introspective questions." Eventually, he offhandedly mentions his prowess at Ping-Pong and his proclivity for '80s rap music, though he's quick to say it doesn't signify anything. Maybe it doesn't now, but by 2018, it just might.

Root, Tuber, and Banana Textural Traits: A Review of the Available Food Science and Consumer Preferences Literature
This report reviews the literature on textural attributes of Root, Tuber, and Banana (RTB) crops with a focus on studies relevant for crop research and development in Sub-Saharan Africa. The texture of cooked root and tuber crops is often cited as a primary determinant of consumer acceptability of new varieties, including those produced through traditional breeding and through genetic engineering. Evidence from texture-related consumer preferences studies for the RTB crops tropical yam, sweetpotato, banana/plantain, cassava, and potato, as well as the results of physicochemical and genetic studies detailing the current scientific understanding of drivers of textural traits, is reviewed and synthesized.
Social Costs of Alcohol in Sub-Saharan Africa
The commercial alcohol industry in Africa may provide opportunities to increase market access and incomes for smallholder farmers by increasing access to agriculture-alcohol value chains. Despite the benefits of increased market opportunities, the high costs to human health and social welfare from increased alcohol use and alcoholism could contribute to a net loss for society. To better understand the tradeoffs between increased market access for smallholders and societal costs associated with harmful alcohol consumption, this paper provides an inventory of the societal costs of alcohol in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We examine direct costs associated with addressing harmful effects of alcohol and treating alcohol-related illnesses, as well as indirect costs associated with the goods and services that are not delivered as a consequence of drinking and its impact on personal productivity. We identified resources using Google Scholar and the University of Washington libraries, and utilized the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) and the World Health Organization's Global Information System on Alcohol and Health (GISAH) database. We also utilized FAOSTAT to retrieve raw data on national-level alcohol production and export statistics. We find that hazardous alcohol use contributes to early mortality and morbidity, loss of productivity, property damage, and other social costs and harms for drinkers and those around them. Drinking also affects vulnerable segments of the population disproportionately. Policymakers, local authorities, and donor agencies can use the information presented in this paper to plan and prepare for the higher consumption levels and subsequent social costs that may follow through agricultural development and economic growth in the region.
Impact of Export-Driven Cash Crops on Smallholder Households
Market-oriented agricultural production can be a mechanism to increase smallholder farmer welfare, rural market performance, and contribute to overall economic growth. Cash crop production can allow households to increase their income by producing output with higher returns to land and labor and using the income generated from sales to purchase goods for consumption. However, in the face of missing and underperforming markets, African smallholder households are often unable to produce efficiently or obtain staple foods reliably and cheaply. This literature review summarizes the available literature on the impact of smallholder participation in cash crop and export markets on household welfare and rural markets. The review focuses exclusively on evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa regarding top and emerging export crops, with the addition of tobacco and horticulture due to the volume of research relevant to smallholder welfare gains from the production of these crops. It includes theoretical frameworks, case studies, empirical evidence, and historical analysis from 42 primary empirical studies and 112 resources overall.
Risks to Agribusiness Investment in Sub-Saharan Africa
This literature review provides a summary of the risks that potentially limit private sector agribusiness investment in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and some responses to those risks. The report reviews risks that limit private sector investment and interventions used to mitigate risk to agricultural investment including government policy, international financial institutions, philanthropic efforts and other private initiatives. Risk is defined as a potential negative impact to assets, investments, or profitability of investments in the agricultural industry that may arise from some present process or future event. There is currently limited information examining how particular risk factors influence private-sector agribusiness investment in the region. However, the information that is available suggests that economic and political instability are among the most significant risks to agribusiness investors in SSA. Further, the literature notes that agricultural risks in SSA are particularly pronounced due to environmental risks that contribute to unreliable cash flows and uncertain profitability. We find that these risk factors are compounded by a lack of data and information for investors to use in assessing and pricing risks appropriately.
Storage, Transportation and Aggregation of Agricultural Products for Smallholder Farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa
Smallholder farmers in Africa are largely located in poor rural areas, are often geographically dispersed, and have limited access to road and communication infrastructure, thus raising the cost of market participation. This is especially true for farmers growing relatively low value staple crops. This literature review summarizes research on the challenges and innovations in linking smallholder producers of staple grains to markets in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on post-harvest issues including storage, aggregation, and transportation. For each post-harvest stage, we describe challenges faced by farmers and current efforts to address these challenges. In our review, we find a large amount of literature on the constraints to smallholder production and marketing but relatively few examples of innovative or novel technologies designed to improve storage and transportation for rural smallholder producers in Africa. Existing technologies have often been available for some time but have not seen widespread adoption, apparently due to high costs or inadequate funding for on-farm testing and extension. We conclude that the literature is somewhat divided as to whether interventions linking smallholder farmers to markets should be entirely market-driven and focus on linkages that can be profitable without subsidization, or whether NGO- and donor-driven interventions should play a role.

Being a Mom is challenging. Up-all-night-on-barf-patrol, breaking-up-sibling-squabbles, finding-a-bathroom-for-a-potty-training-toddler – challenging. Being a Mom is also miraculous – baby's-sweet smile, first-steps, watching-them-sleep miraculous. But the Mom moments that keep me going during long, challenging days are the silly ones.
I was having one of those challenging days. It started out with an important meeting around a big conference table – and I needed a pen. After rummaging around in the black hole of my purse/diaper bag, I pulled out a half-eaten baggie of crackers, a couple of broken crayons, a diaper (unused, thank goodness), and not one, but TWO sippy cups – and finally found my pen. The day went downhill from there, and I needed a laugh.
So I opened up my Kid-Speak Diary – the spiral notebook I keep stashed in the laundry room – to remind me of the silly things my children have said over the years. If you haven't started recording the hilarious things your kiddos say, start now. It doesn't matter if you use a paper notebook or the new fancy app on your smartphone, but I PROMISE you'll be grateful for taking the time to jot these sayings down. Because as they get past the age of 7 or 8, your children will start sounding much more like people, and a lot less like little kids. You don't want to let this phase pass you by.
My oldest child just turned 12, and my other children are 10, 7 and 3 – so the days of finding sippy cups in my purse will be ending soon. But my Kid-Speak Diary will give me a giggle for years to come.
What silly moments keep you laughing? Tell us in a comment below.

I did it. I bought myself a pair of new shoes. They are excellent walkers and even have little knobbly bits inside to massage your feel while you walk but they are not the same as my mother's shoes. I guess I am just going to have to live with that.

Things To Consider For Renting a Luxury Portable Toilet near Lowell, Indiana.
You may think getting a portable toilet is as simple as picking up the phone, but there are a lot more choices and details involved than you may know.A lot of people have used a portable toilet at some point in their life, but when it comes time to finally acquire several for an event, the taks can bemore challenging than you might think.
Your porta potty solution could end up being the most vitale part of your special occasion, since the party would be short lived if your attendees can't relieve themselves quickly enough. It's good to have a bit of a knowledge on portable toilets before making an important decision. There are many more varieties of portable toilets than you may think and you'll need to ensure you select the right options to avoid long lines or disruptions.
A portable toilet is simply a contemporary outhouse that is a enclosed outdoor stall for people to utilize whenever they have to. You can see these portable toilets at all sorts of places including construction sites, music festivals and even cookouts. You're likely to see more upscale porta potty arrangements at a wedding or on the sets of films. You should ask the rental company about their response times in case of a issue or breakdown, as the last thing anyone wants is for their event to be ruined because of their portable toilet.
The most ideal choice for basic portable toilet rentals involving smaller events are usually going to be the single-stall variety that you usually see on construction sites. For larger or more upscale events, you can opt for the entire bathroom trailer choice, which provides a full restroom area for guests to use. The portable toilet solutions include toilet paper, and some of them also come with antibacterial hand sanitizer. You can also choose to have a separate hand washing station if you are using a basic porta potty. On the flip side, you could spring for an upscale portable toilet option that comes with amenities such as air fresheners and an inside basin with running water.
Where you put your porta potties is very important, whether you're having a wedding or a jobsite, if they are too far away it could really bog things down. The most ideal placement for a porta potty is a location that's dry, even, and is centrally located for all event guests or construction site workers to access. Fortunately, you can customize your portable toilets to fit your occasion and needs by adding more options. Even the best event can be spoiled by poor quality bathroom setups, which is why you need to consider the quality of your portable toilet rental.
Portable Toilet placement is a very important factor to consider in order to ensure people will not have to travel a far distance to relieve themselves. For many occasions, it makes the most sense to put porta potties off to the side in places that won't see a lot of typical foot traffic, that way it won't interfere with regular activities. Keep in mind that the porta potty toilet units will need to be between 20 and forty of access area for a service truck to come in if you need to empty their contents before you are done using them. You'll also want to ensure they won't be placed too close to dining or food related areas, as you don't want possible smells to effect your attndees.
An additional point you'll want to think about is the variety of of cleaning options that are going to be available throughout your event. This includes aspects like toilet paper and hand drying refills along with cleaning or sanitizing the stalls. You may need to ensure that there are toilet paper supplies close at all times, since the last thing you want at your gathering is for a guest to come up and remind you they require more essentials in the stalls.
When renting the typical porta potty then you're likely looking at an average fee of between fifty and seventy-five dollars each day. To cut costs you'll want to try and select a porta potty business that is as close to your event as possible, that way you won't pay as much for transportation charges. The more upscale portable toilets can possibly cost up to 0 each day, and if you want a fully loaded option you might be looking at spending as much as 0. Considering these factors are important when selecting a vendor to rent your porta potty from. As long as you have a general understanding of amenities as well as asking the proper questions with your rental business, you can't go wrong and your special occasion will go on without a hitch.

Organizing for the 25th Anniversary of the Lucasville Uprising
Twenty-Five years after the longest prison uprising in which people died, the full story has not been told. April 11, 2018 will be the 25th Anniversary of the Lucasville Uprising, a defining event in the history of criminal justice and prison systems in Ohio and the United States.
Lucasville stands out from other prison uprisings in many ways that deserve greater examination. The uprising claimed 10 lives over 11 days and ended in a negotiated surrender, the terms of which the State of Ohio refused to honor by targeting those who negotiated with them during the uprising.
We have distributed two documents, assembled by Staughton and Alice Lynd, esteemed labor lawyer historians from Youngstown, Ohio. The first describes the uprising and subsequent prosecutions in greater detail, exposing the state's behavior during the uprising, and extensive prosecutorial misconduct in the trials following it.
The second is a list of people willing to be interviewed for the 25th anniversary of the uprising. These contacts include:
- Niki Schwartz, who Ohio brought in to negotiate the peaceful surrender
- Defense attorneys from the trials
- Prisoner survivors, including those on death row, those still in prison, and those who have been released.
- Activists, film-makers and organizers.
Five men have been condemned to death and many more to long sentences served almost entirely in solitary confinement at the Ohio State Penitentiary, a supermax prison built in the wake of the uprising. These prisoners have been influential writers, activists and organizers beyond their own cases, and despite their very restrictive conditions of confinement and isolation.
Their 2011 Hunger Strike partially inspired the interracial solidarity of the Pelican Bay Hunger Strikes, which expanded to include over 30,000 prisoners. Siddique Abdullah Hasan, one of the death row survivors, was a lead organizer of the September 9, 2016 national prison strike and protest, the largest prisoner-led protest in history.
The impact and historical resonance of the Lucasville Uprising is still felt in Ohio and beyond 25 years later. The consequences remain dire, and the story remains largely untold. Please review these materials and consider covering the 25th Anniversary of the Lucasville Uprising.

Kuopio län (fi. Kuopion lääni) var under perioden 1831 till 1997 ett finskt län, med Kuopio som residensstad. Länet grundades 1831 av Savolax och Karelens län efter att södra delarna av det län förenades till S:t Michels län. 1 mars 1960 avskildes Norra Karelens län, samtidigt lades Hankasalmi och Konnevesi till Mellersta Finlands län. Efter det sammanföll Kuopio läns område med landskapet Norra Savolax. I samband med länsreformen 1997 blev det en del av Östra Finlands län den 1 september 1997.

6 Ways to Get Booted From Twitter's Search Results
Corey Wainwright
For a few years now, there have been murmurs of Twitter censorship, algorithmic filtrations of user content, and subtle squashing of free speech. If you're looking for an exposé on those claims, this blog post is not it (but feel free to debate it in the comments!). I don't have any evidence that points toward such controversial behavior, but what I do have evidence of is Twitter's public practices (smart ones, though at times faulty) for filtering certain tweeters out of its search results.
Turns out, there are some things that can get the little blue bird angry enough to shun you. When Twitter evaluates whether you should be removed from search results, what it's really asking is whether you're a spammer or a bot. Or, a human that acts like one. You may be a well intentioned but novice user of Twitter, or a marketer hell bent on getting visibility in quick and sneaky ways, but if you're doing any of these things, you can bet you'll soon find yourself removed from Twitter's search results. Unless you've unknowingly been removed already.
6 Ways to Get Removed From Twitter's Search Results
1.) Repeatedly posting the same link or tweet. Just like Google's algorithm penalizes websites with duplicate content in search results, Twitter also penalizes tweeters who continue to post the same links or tweets in a misguided attempt to gain visibility.
2.) Aggressively following and unfollowing people. When you first sign up for Twitter, you probably (hopefully) find a bunch of people you want to follow. But you probably don't find as many as a bot could. A best practice to avoid being blacklisted from Twitter's search results for this offense is to maintain a logical follower:following ratio, or to simply amass your following accounts organically over time.
3.) Abusing trending topics or hashtags. These are words or phrases with a # sign in front on them that essentially allow you to tag your tweets. The growing popularity of Twitter chats with associated hashtags implies your overuse of a hashtag must be egregious to get you banned from search results, and it is likely also tied to the distribution of that hashtag's usage across accounts.
4.) Sending automated tweets and replies. This behavior reeks of spam bots, but it's still shocking to be on the receiving end of this behavior from time to time from marketers and business owners. If you're using automated tweets and replies on Twitter, ditch it ASAP for a more personal response that won't get you banned from Twitter search results and will likely garner you more social media success than this shoddy automation, anyway.
5.) Using bots or applications to post similar messages based on keywords. If you're trying to get visibility in Twitter search around a specific keyword -- and using bots or applications to do it -- Twitter will interpret this as an attempt to game search results and dominate them with low quality content. The same rules apply on Twitter as on the rest of the web: content quality matters.
6.) Posting similar messages over multiple accounts. If you're using a third party application to post tweets to multiple accounts, you may find this happening to you by accident. While some automation is great, make sure you're putting in the time up front to ensure the content you select is unique to each account to prevent duplicate content and deliver more relevancy.
What to Do If You're Removed From Twitter Search Results
If you find yourself an accidental offender and are removed from Twitter search, Twitter recommends you visit its help center to do some initial troubleshooting before contacting its support team. Some of the other reasons you might have no or low visibility in Twitter's search results include:
1.) Your account hasn't been indexed yet. If you just set up your account, it may take a few days to get indexed.
2.) Your profile is incomplete. Twitter gives search results preference to users with a complete name, username, and bio in their profile.
3.) You're not interacting enough. Twitter considers those with the best reputations the most important ones to include in search results. And reputation, in Twitter's eyes, is related to you tweeting with other users, mentioning their content, and getting mentioned in return. This can only happen with consistent and conscientious usage.
Until your visibility issue is resolved, your @replies to specific users will still be delivered to that user; they just won't be visible in search results.
Like any online business, Twitter is trying to ensure a pleasant user experience for its tweeters. In the "Search problems" section of its Help Center, Twitter addresses relevancy, saying, "In order to keep your search results relevant, Twitter filters search results for quality. Material that jeopardizes search quality or creates a bad search experience for other users may be automatically removed from Twitter search."
While the items listed above undoubtedly do jeopardize the quality of search and are concrete enough to algorithmically filter out, there are plenty of other things that can jeopardize user experience, too; namely, just being a jerk. There are been instances of vulgar content and harassment being filtered out of search results and some anecdotal accounts of people just being unsavory and getting nixed from search results, too.
If you've found instances of users being filtered out of Twitter search results who are not offenders of one of the items above, share it in the comments.

Though it might create some level of class it ends up taking a lot of space in the room. Try to hang your lamps or lighting to create more floor space.

Home / Entertainment / Kanye West says he has been used for political purposes
Kanye West says he has been used for political purposes
Ernest Hemingway Entertainment
Rapper Kanye West announced yesterday that he has turned himself away from politics, which he has come close to in recent months by supporting Donald Trump. He said he was "used". "My eyes are now wide open and I now realize that I was used to convey messages that I did not believe," the artist doubted, very adept at the foot and provocation.
READ OUT – Kanye West's embarrassment speech to Donald Trump
Donald Trump states, Chicago's rapper appears to return to the support he has shown to the former businessman since the presidential campaign. After the election of the Republican candidate, he went to the Trump Tower, his apartment in New York, to meet him.
At the end of April, Kanye West hugged his love for his "brother" Donald Trump. With & # 39; a Hat & # 39; Make America Great Again & # 39 ;, a campaign from the former property developer, claiming freedom of expression and opinion. This public support has caused many hostile reactions, especially among the black community. Many of them thought they were betrayed by Kanye West.
Kanye West explained that he wanted to come from a normative system, which systematically changed black Americans into the Democratic camp. His relationship with Donald Trump ended on October 11 when the American president "Ye", one of his nicknames, received at the White House. Kanye West carried Donald Trump and the media a ten-minute mysterious monologue. "I'll tell you something, that's pretty impressive," said the billionaire Republican. "This was something."
Before announcing his announcement on Tuesday, Kanye West said on Twitter that he was supporting a reinforcement of arms legislation, which Donald Trump is opposed to. He also asked for "love and empathy for people seeking asylum and parents fighting to protect their children from violence and war." A reference to the caravans of the Middle Americans who are currently crossing Mexico to join the United States and who announced Donald Trump that he wants to stop, especially by strengthening 5000 soldiers.
