Protection at Sea
© UNHCR/Andrew McConnell
A persistent and deeply concerning feature of refugee and migrants' movements in many parts of the world is the recourse to dangerous sea crossings.
For many, boarding an unseaworthy boat may appear to be the best option available – in the absence of safer alternatives – to flee conflict or persecution and to seek opportunities to rebuild their lives.
Such crossings bring with them, more often than not, serious risks of injury or death at sea, as well as reckless endangerment of life, exploitation, or violence at the hands of smugglers and traffickers. They also pose complex challenges for States and search-and-rescue actors, including private shipping.
Global Initiative on Protection at Sea
UNHCR's Global Initiative on Protection at Sea, developed in 2014 in the lead-up to the High Commissioner's Dialogue on Protection at Sea, sets out the essential elements of a necessary response, with the core goal of supporting action by States to:
reduce loss of life at sea, as well as exploitation, abuse and violence experienced by people travelling irregularly by sea, and
establish protection-sensitive responses to irregular mixed migration by sea.
Achieving these objectives extends beyond search-and-rescue systems, to early identification of those needing international protection, humane treatment and prevention of refoulement, as well as access to fair and efficient asylum procedures.
UNHCR promotes protection at sea with and alongside States, partner agencies, civil society and the shipping industry, through advocacy, capacity-building and training activities, and legal and policy guidance, including by facilitating regional workshops on search-and-rescue and protection at sea, developing guidance materials, providing training on human rights and refugee protection at sea, and supporting comprehensive approaches to protection at sea.

Q: Limit posts per page in PHP I need to limit how many posts appear on the homepage of my site.
It currently appears like this:
http://prntscr.com/j5nhng
I want to be able to limit 3 posts per page.
I do not know whether to be <href =.  There may be some mistake, but I appreciate any help you can give me. From already thank you
My code if you need any variable:
<title>Noticias</title>
<?php
// Connects to the database
include('admin/config.php');
// Selects the ' News ' table where the news data gets
$selecionar_db = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id DESC";
// Faz a Conexão com o banco de dados
$final = mysql_query($selecionar_db)
// Message if you have an error with the database
or die ("
Erro ao Conectar-se ao Banco de dados
");

// Picks up the values from the "news" table
while ($news=mysql_fetch_array($final)) {
$id = $news["id"];

$titulo = $news["titulo"];

$categoria_id = $news["categoria"];

$autor = $news["autor"];

$views = $news["views"];

$texto = $news["texto"];

$date = $news["date"];

// Altera o Formato da data da noticia
$date2 = strtotime($date);
$data = date('d/m/Y', $date2);
$hora = date('H:i', $date2);

// Pega o número de Comentários que a noticia possui
$comentarios_db = "SELECT * FROM comentarios WHERE noticia_id='$id'";
$comentarios_db = mysql_query($comentarios_db);
$comentarios = mysql_num_rows($comentarios_db);

// Faz a seleção da Categoria
$categoria_db = "SELECT * FROM categorias WHERE id='$categoria_id'";
$categoria_resultado = mysql_query($categoria_db);
$categoria_final = mysql_fetch_assoc($categoria_resultado);
$categoria = $categoria_final['categoria'];

echo "
$titulo

Postado por $autor em $data ás $hora
$texto
";

}
?>

A: You can do this with '[LIMIT][1]' in SQL.
Just store the page number in a variable in your PHP, and get the number of results per page in another variable.
Then calculate the first row to display based on your page.
For example: if you want to display 10 results per page, and you are on the second page, then you should start displaying results from row 11.
Here is an example:
$page = $_GET['page']; // Let say it stores 2
$resultsPerPage = 10;

$startFrom = ($page-1)*($resultsPerPage); // Will display 10

AND then your SQL should look like this :
$comentarios_db = "SELECT * FROM commentaries WHERE noticia_id='$id' LIMIT ".$startFrom.", ".$resultsPerPage;

*

*Remember, it will start from row 11 because we limited the query to OFFSET 10

Do You Have a Supply Chain Backup Plan? How to Plan Ahead
If your distribution was affected by the coronavirus pandemic, here's how to create a supply chain backup plan and prepare for future uncertainty.
By: Nicole Fallon, Contributor

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted supply chains across many industries. Businesses that rely on overseas manufacturing as well as American-made product businesses have seen significant shipping delays and material availability issues throughout this year, and there are likely to be long-term effects to the world of logistics.
As we head into 2021, any business that relies on a supply chain to manufacture and distribute its products should be thinking about a backup plan to deal with any unexpected interruptions in the future.
Supply chain challenges during COVID-19
The supply chain challenges faced during COVID-19 have had a ripple effect, impacting numerous businesses, vendors and consumers during 2020. A few major ones include:
Product and raw material availability. When the coronavirus was first identified in China, businesses that source raw materials and products from there experienced a shortage of available goods due to shutdowns.
Slow shipping times. Fewer materials mean fewer products are being put into production. Many companies struggled to keep pace with demand, which slowed down shipping times while they waited for products to become available.
Customer demand fluctuation. Early in the pandemic, many consumers panicked and bought an overabundance of goods like toilet paper and canned food to prepare for quarantine. This cycle of "panic buying," combined with slower production and shipping times, created an increased demand with which manufacturers struggled to keep up.
Regional regulations and closures. The pandemic hit different regions of the world at different times, and the case spikes and lockdowns have been happening in waves. This has made it difficult to maintain a consistent production schedule, as some countries had to close or restrain their borders, while others operated at near-normal capacity.
[Read: Experts Unpack the Massive Cross-Industry Impact of the Coronavirus]
How companies pivoted to overcome supply chain challenges
The supply chain disruptions of 2020 meant businesses had to find some creative solutions. To keep up with orders, product businesses started looking at other manufacturing resources.
"We have been vetting new raw material suppliers in different countries of origin to provide a backup for us in case we cannot get materials in time," said Mark Kohlenberg, founder and CEO of WDM Footwear & Accessories. "We are also working with a variety of new suppliers to try to lessen our exposure to any one shipper in case they cannot accommodate our shipments."
Many companies also made adjustments to the products and services they provided and their distribution method, both to stay in business and to reach new as well as existing customers.
"Dine-in establishments became carryout overnight, manufacturers locked in longer contracts with suppliers and small businesses pivoted by adding more services when products are backordered," said Brady Maller, EVP of strategy and sales at POLYWOOD.

Making contingency plans for your supply chain to source from different regions as new regulations or closures occur are an essential part of any backup plan.
Brady Maller, EVP of strategy and sales, POLYWOOD
How to create a supply chain backup plan
While global supply chains have somewhat stabilized since the beginning of the pandemic, it's still important for small businesses and large corporations to have a supply chain backup plan to prepare for any future uncertainties. Here are some steps you can take to create a backup plan for your company:
Leverage your existing suppliers to see if they can pivot with you
As your production and distribution plan changes, see if your suppliers and distributors will be able to change with you. Have ongoing discussions about contingency plans and whether they can be flexible about contracts and payment terms.
If your current suppliers are limited in their options, find alternatives and backups that you could use in an emergency.
"We want to try to work with our supply base as much as possible," Kohlenberg told CO—. "However, times like this are not entirely predictable and we have to be open to consider suppliers we may have not worked with previously, if they can be helpful in a crunch situation."
Develop regional supplier relationships to accommodate unexpected closures
If you're reliant on a single supplier, now may be the time to start forging multiple relationships in different regions of the country or world. Contemplate how you might pivot with these regional vendors if new regulations or closures occur so you can maintain your production schedule.
"Regulations can be dramatically different from state to state, and unpredictable business closures have been the reality," Maller said. "Making contingency plans for your supply chain to source from different regions as new regulations or closures occur are an essential part of any backup plan."
Explore technology to help you meet logistical demands
The pandemic has provided a valuable lesson for many companies to keep an eye on emerging technologies. For instance, Deloitte envisions technologies like 5G, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and 3D printing playing a huge role in keeping global supply chains moving. Instead of a traditional linear supply chain model, your business can rely on digital supply networks, where your organization can connect its complete supply network through technology to "enable end-to-end visibility, collaboration, agility and optimization."

Daily Show Reveals Truth About Vietnam Veterans with PTSD
February 5, 2014 Harry Croft, M.D.
A couple of weeks ago, The Daily Show did a piece about Vietnam vets getting denied benefits from the Veteran's Administration (VA). As usual, The Daily Show piece was irreverent and fun, but like so many of the show's pieces, it, unfortunately, contained many truthful elements.
It is true that Vietnam veterans with combat PTSD wrongly get denied benefits and it is a travesty. (See The Daily Show clip, below.)
Vietnam Vets and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
The name of the condition we now call posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) did not exist at the end of the Vietnam War. It was formally described and named some years later, in 1980. The definition and naming of PTSD was based on the experience of Vietnam veterans and the desire to get them appropriate mental health treatment. And, ironically, even though the condition was based on their experiences, combat PTSD-induced actions often resulted in a less than honorable discharge from the military.
Evaluating Vietnam Vets Reveals Unfair Discharges and Treatment
I have evaluated many veterans in this situation. These vets showed signs of anger, irritability and agitation as part of their combat PTSD. These veterans, upon return from the combat theatre, sometimes became angry at orders given by someone who they perceived as "green" (recently promoted) and, as a result, they mouthed off or became physically assaultive. This has resulted in a less than honorable discharge for many after being diagnosed with a "personality or character disorder."
The diagnosis of a personality disorder was incorrect and implied the soldier was psychologically impaired even before military service, in spite of the fact that many had performed admirably prior to their traumatic combat-related experiences.
This type of discharge has ensured that these Vietnam veterans were denied the benefits they would have otherwise received.
Remember, there was no diagnosis of PTSD available at the time to explain the symptoms and behavior shown by the soldier, but the fact that they functioned well in the Army prior to the traumatic experience, and then radically changed after, was not considered in the discharge process. Substance abuse, which is very common in soldiers suffering from combat PTSD, also factored into some discharges.
The Country Turned on the Vietnam Veterans with PTSD
At the time, the country had "turned" not only on the war, but tragically, on the soldiers that had fought it so that when they returned stateside they were often maligned and mistreated. I saw this personally. While I did not serve in Vietnam, during the Vietnam era I was in uniform in San Francisco and was spit upon, called a coward and baby killer, and had eggs thrown at me. Imagine the impact of serving in combat and then coming home to that type of reception.
Even the VA was seen as being negative towards Vietnam veterans – "we treat sick people here . . . you are just a pot smoking angry person . . . we don't want the likes of you here."
And even though the VA treatment facilities have drastically changed their stance on veterans with combat PTSD since then, many Vietnam era veterans have sworn they would never go there again after such a negative initial experience.
Vets with Less than Honorable Discharges Denied Access to PTSD Services
But the biggest problem for those with a less than honorable discharge was that they were not eligible to receive disability benefits, even after 1980 when PTSD had been recognized as a legitimate condition. Even when things changed for the veterans, the paperwork required to "prove" they had been in battle was often so cumbersome to obtain that many vets just gave up. (That requirement has now changed.)
The Good News for Vietnam Vets with PTSD
The good news is that now there is a process available within the VA to get less than honorable discharges upgraded (where appropriate).
A Thanks to The Daily Show
I credit The Daily Show for their portrayal of this important subject and I can only hope that veterans affected by a less than honorable discharge, especially those vets with combat PTSD, see the show and begin the process that can enable them to receive the benefits they deserve.

A Combat PTSD Mobile App that Really Helps
Prolonged Exposure Therapy for Combat PTSD
Tom Cloyd MS MA
FLJ - so sorry that I haven't seen your question until now. I'd contact you directly about this if I knew how.
There are two very well validated treatment protocols for PTSD, and both are fundamentally exposure treatments. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and PE (Prolonged Exposure) are their names. There's a lot about them on the Internet.
Here's a link to review I wrote of a major report review of psychotherapy treatments for PTSD -

This piece nearly had me in tears. I have PTSD from several of the above listed things. I have BP II, and crippling anxiety as well. At times, from one or some of those diseases, I have felt intense anxiety/anger that is like homicidal/suicidal.
I agree with Mr Jette, that PTSD is everywhere.
How can anyone expect any young man to return to the states (or their home country) without being psychologically damaged in some way after being ordered to murder complete strangers? Something they could not possibly think of before, when at home?
I just want them all to come home. NOW. No more damage, and find a cure or good treatment for all types of PTSD, especially for those at risk of hurting themselves or others.
Mr Cloyd, any ideas on how to treat PTSD in a therapy setting?
Ron Jette
So, we have veterans to thank for two things. First, for service to our (notice I didn't say "their") countries (I'm from Canada). If not for their service, we would likely live in a country where to speak your mind is to risk your freedom—or your life.
As well, we have to thank them for forcing someone to notice PTSD's existence.
While they aren't getting much help in either Canada or the USA, I am hopeful that we are, at least, making some headway in getting people to believe it's not a made-up disorder.
At some point, maybe we can also work on getting governments to realize that PTSD is EVERYWHERE. Accident victims, rape victims, crime victims, abuse victims, natural-disaster victims and on and on and on. PTSD and the military? That's just the tip of the iceberg, I'm afraid.
Tom Cloyd, MS, MA
Just watch that video. Good Lord! Ouch. I'd better keep it clean, and stop right here....
Excellent piece. The problem of recognition of the legitimacy of PTSD is clearly a cultural one. Men in general, and soldiers especially, are not seen as psychologically vulnerable human beings, which we most assuredly are. This vulnerability, like every other part of us as humans, varies from person to person, but no one chooses to be vulnerable.
Aside from this issue, there's the very real problem of not grasping the real cause of PTSD. The DSM has historically linked it to events, rather than to emotionally overwhelming experiences. That there is a correlation between the two is obvious, but only when one focuses on the experience itself can one make sense of experiences that are innocuous to one person but devastating to another. This problem remains very much with us to this day.

Changing the tone of the conversation about gun violence prevention
Norwegian gun laws
Happy Sytennde Mai and gun laws in Norway
May 17, 2015 May 17, 2015 commongunsenseAmerican gun laws, Anders Brevik, corporate gun lobby, gun laws in other countries, high capacity ammunition, mass shooting in Norway, Norwegian gun laws, Sytennde Mai31 Comments
Today is Sytennde Mai or Norwegian Constitution day. Here is more about this big Norwegian celebration day:
The 17th of May (Syttende Mai) is Norway's Constitution Day, a wonderful spring holiday celebrated with red, white and blue ribbons and flags, national costumes and big smiles as Norwegians everywhere mark the historic signing of their Constitution (Grunnloven) in 1814. That year marked the beginning of Norway's gaining her independence from Sweden, fully realized in 1905.
The 17th of May evolved over the years in Norway as a day for people to rally for political change or to stand unified during the German occupation (1940-45), when open celebration of the holiday was strictly forbidden. Today, thousands march in children's and people's parades all over the country and wherever Norwegians are found–expressing their cultural pride, joy in springtime and honoring those citizens who created Norway's constitutional government, founding her independence.
The Syttende Mai parades are not military but of Norway's citizens, marching to the bright music of community and school bands. Decorations of leafy birch branches–in celebration of winter's end–and Norway's flag of red, white and blue make for a festive atmosphere.
Both my husband and I are of Norwegian ancestry. My maternal grandfather emigrated from Norway. My husband's maternal grandparents, along with several of his aunts and uncles, also emigrated to Minnesota from Norway. We have visited with and stayed with relatives from both of our families on a trip to Norway many years ago. We happened to be in Oslo for the May 17th celebration. It was a great experience to be there for the festivities and see the national costumes and even get a glimpse of the King and Queen waving to the crowds from the palace balcony.
In July of 2011 the Norwegians experienced a horrendous mass shooting. Anders Brevik, a right wing extremist, killed 77 people in the worst attack since World War ll. From this article:
The 2011 Norway attacks were two sequential lone wolf terrorist attacks against the government, the civilian population, and a Workers' Youth League (AUF)-run summer camp in the Oslo region on 22 July 2011, claiming a total of 77 lives.
The first was a car bomb explosion in Oslo within Regjeringskvartalet, the executive government quarter of Norway, at 15:25:22 (CEST).[1] The bomb was made from a mixture of fertiliser and fuel oil[13][14] and placed in the back of a car.[15] The car was placed in front of the office block housing the office of Prime MinisterJens Stoltenberg and other government buildings.[16] The explosion killed eight people and injured at least 209 people, twelve of them seriously.[10][11][12]
The second attack occurred less than two hours later at a summer camp on the island of Utøya in Tyrifjorden, Buskerud. The camp was organized by the AUF, the youth division of the ruling Norwegian Labour Party (AP). A gunman dressed in a homemade police uniform and showing false identification[17][18] gained access to the island and subsequently opened fire at the participants, killing 69 of them,[7][8] and injuring at least 110 people, 55 of them seriously;[11][12] the 69th victim died in a hospital two days after the massacre.[9] Among the dead were personal friends of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and the stepbrother of Norway's crown princess Mette-Marit.[19]
It was the deadliest attack in Norway since World War II,[20][21] and a survey found that one in four Norwegians knew "someone affected by the attacks".[22] The European Union, NATO and several countries around the world expressed their support for Norway and condemned the attacks. On 13 August 2012, Norway's prime minister received the Gjørv Report which concluded that Norway's police could have prevented the bombing of central Oslo and caught the gunman faster at Utøya, and that more security and emergency measures to prevent further attacks and "mitigate adverse effects" should have been implemented on 22 July.[23]
My city had a beautiful memorial service for the victims of that awful incident. I attended the service and was touched by the outpouring from local folks of Norwegian ancestry and many who just came to express their concerns and sympathies.
Let's look at more about Norwegian gun laws and how this lone wolf terrorist obtained his weapons and ammunition. More from the above article:
Breivik spent six days in Prague in late August and early September 2010. He chose the Czech Republic because the country has some of the most relaxed laws regarding guns and drugs in Europe. Following his Internet inquiry, Breivik noted that "Prague is known for maybe being the most important transit site point for illicit drugs and weapons in Europe". Despite the fact that Prague has one of the lowest crime rates among European capitals,[33] Breivik expressed reservations about his personal safety, writing that he believed Prague to be a dangerous place with "many brutal and cynical criminals".[34] (…)
Breivik had several fake police badges printed to wear with a police uniform, which he had acquired illegally on the Internet, and which he later wore during the attack.[17][18] Contrary to his expectations, he was unable to get any firearms in the Czech Republic, commenting that it was the "first major setback in [his] operation". In the end, he concluded that Prague was "far from an ideal city to buy guns", nothing like "what the BBC reported", and that he had felt "safer in Prague than in Oslo".[32][34][36]
You may remember that I wrote about the gun laws in several countries on a recent river boat cruise of the Danube. The Czech Republic was one of them, along with Germany, Slovakia, Austria and Hungary. Brevik was mistaken. Though the Czech Republic's gun laws are somewhat looser than other European countries, they are stricter than he was led to believe and he was very wrong about Prague in particular. The only danger we faced there was from the crowded streets and making sure our personal belongings were safe from pick pockets.
But I digress. You can see from this section of the above linked article that Brevik had to lie in order to get a gun through legal channels in Norway since their laws are pretty strict about a permit to own handguns:
Originally, Breivik intended to try to obtain weapons in Germany or Serbia if his mission in Prague failed. The Czech disappointment led him to procure his weapons through legal channels.[36] He decided to obtain a semi-automatic rifle and a Glock pistol legally in Norway, noting that he had a "clean criminal record, hunting license, and two guns (a Benelli Nova12 gaugepump-action shotgun and a .308bolt-action rifle) already for seven years", and that obtaining the guns legally should therefore not be a problem.[32]
Upon returning to Norway, Breivik obtained a legal permit for a .223-caliberRuger Mini-14 semi-automatic carbine, ostensibly for the purpose of hunting deer. He bought it in late 2010 for €1,400 ($2000). He wanted to purchase a 7.62x39mmRuger Mini-30 semi-automatic carbine, but did however for unknown reasons buy the Mini-14.
Getting a permit for the pistol proved more difficult, as he had to demonstrate regular attendance at a sport shooting club.[34] He also bought ten 30-round magazines for the rifle from a United States supplier, and six magazines for the pistol (including four 30-round magazines) in Norway. From November 2010 to January 2011 he went through 15 training sessions at the Oslo Pistol Club, and by mid-January his application to purchase a Glockpistol was approved.[37][38]
Brevik actually had to go through training sessions in order to get a permit to purchase a gun. What a novel idea! And where did he obtain the ammunition?:
Anders Behring Breivik wrote in a 1,500-page manifesto that he bought 10 30-round ammunition clips for his .223 caliber rifle from an unnamed small U.S. supplier, which then in turn acquired the clips from other suppliers. Norway forbids the sale of clips for hunting rifles that hold more than three bullets, according to Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten.
Breivik wrote in his manifesto that while he could have purchased the high-capacity magazines in Sweden, they would have been significantly more expensive than ordering them from a U.S. supplier. He wrote that he spent $550 for the 10 clips. He also described legally buying four 30-round clips for a Glock handgun in Norway.
Not surprising. Everyone knows that it's easy to obtain guns and ammunition in the U.S.
So here is another look at the gun laws in Norway. Norway ranks 44th in the world for the number of civilian owned firearms. The rate of gun homicides in 2012 was .10 per 100,000, far lower than that of our own country. The rate of gun suicides in Norway was 1.63 per 100,000, higher than gun homicides as it is in almost all democratized, developed countries. In Norway, as in most other countries, licensing and registration of firearms and owners is required and carrying guns in public is prohibited.
There is, as I have written many times before, an unmistakable link between strong gun laws and low gun civilian deaths and injuries. This is a case for our advocating for stronger gun laws in our own country. Norwegians and most other countries are using common sense when it comes to protecting their children and communities from devastating gun violence. Occasionally a mass shooting occurs in one of these countries even with stronger gun laws. In some countries, a change to stronger gun laws has occurred after high profile mass shootings. The shootings in Dunblane, Scotland and Port Arthur, Australia are two examples.
In Scotland, 16 children and one adult were shot and killed in 1996 by a "loner obsessed with guns". And here is how the UK responded to this horrendous shooting:
In the wake of the 1987 Hungerford massacre, in which one lone gunman killed 16 people, Britain introduced new legislation — the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988 — making registration mandatory for owning shotguns and banning semi-automatic and pump-action weapons.
Within a year and a half of the Dunblane massacre, UK lawmakers had passed a ban on the private ownership of all handguns in mainland Britain, giving the country some of the toughest anti-gun legislation in the world. After both shootings there were firearm amnesties across the UK, resulting in the surrender of thousands of firearms and rounds of ammunition.
Britain has never had a "gun culture" like that of the United States, but there were about 200,000 legally-registered handguns in Britain before the ban, most owned by sports shooters. All small-bore pistols, including the .22 caliber, were included in the ban, along with rifles used by target shooters. Penalties for anyone found in possession of illegal firearms range from heavy fines to prison terms of up to 10 years.
"It was one of the most shocking things that has ever happened in this country and it united the country in a feeling that we had to do something," Gill Marshall Andrews, of the Gun Control Network, told CNN. "And I don't think that it would have been possible to make the kind of progress that we have made without that tragedy."
Now there is the kind of common sense not seen in the U.S. even after the slaughter of 20 6 and 7 year olds in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012. In Australia, something similar happened after the massacre of 35 people, also in 1996, at Port Arthur in Tasmania. A disturbed young man accomplished this awful shooting. Let's take a look at what happened after that shooting:
It moved public opinion.In the wake of the shooting, "a national upwelling of grief and revulsion saw pollsters reporting 90–95% public approval for stringent new gun laws."
A conservative politician took the lead.Australia's conservative Prime Minister John Howard spearheaded a push by Australian states and territories to severely restrict gun ownership that year, in what came to be known as the National Firearms Agreement.
It targeted the kinds of guns used in massacres."As the Port Arthur gunman and several other mass killers had used semi-automatic weapons, the new gun laws banned rapid-fire long guns, specifically to reduce their availability for mass shootings."
It encouraged people to turn in guns. The government "bought back more than 650,000 of these weapons from existing owners, and tightened requirements for licensing, registration, and safe storage of firearms."
It wasn't free. "Total public expenditures were about A$320 million (US$230 million), or approximately A$500 per gun, which isn't much less than what it costs to buy one."
But it was paid for. "The buyback program was financed by an additional 0.2% levy on national health insurance."
Again, this was the kind of common sense not seen in America. And the result?
Gun homicide rates fell. "In the 7 years before the NFA, the average annual firearm homicide rate per 100 000 was 0.43 (range:0.27–0.60), whereas for the 7 years after NFA, the average annual firearm homicide rate was 0.25 (range: 0.16–0.33)." (…)
"In the 18 years up to and including 1996, the year of the massacre at Port Arthur, Australia experienced 13 mass shootings. In these events alone, 112 people were shot dead and at least another 52 wounded (table 1). In the 10.5 years since Port Arthur and the revised gun laws, no mass shootings have occurred in Australia." [Mass shooting defined as five or more dead. None have occurred since the publication of the paper in 2006, either. -eds.]
Gun suicides declined. "In the 18 years (1979–96) [before the law], there were 8850 firearm suicides (annual average 491.7). In the 7 years for which reliable data are available after the announcement of the new gun laws, there were 1726 firearm suicides, an annual average of 246.6.
Let's get this straight. America loses over 30,000 of its' citizens to firearms injuries every year. The majority of these are suicides followed by homicides and then accidental gun deaths. This is the American tragedy and we can't let it continue.
Anyone who says that gun laws don't matter is deceiving you. The American corporate gun lobby has managed this deception for many years now with little scrutiny from the media and too many of our politicians. There is proof that stronger gun laws lead to fewer gun deaths. So what we need in our own country is a common set of facts that are known and believed by our elected leaders and the general public. For this is how change can happen. This is how we can make sure that our nation's public health and safety epidemic of gun violence can be addressed in a reasonable way. And by reasonable I mean that we need to make sure that all guns are kept from some people who shouldn't have them. It's pretty simple. Those who shouldn't have them are children, suicidal teens and adults, domestic abusers, felons, those with adjudicated and severe mental illness, terrorists, gang members, and others on the prohibited purchasers list now who can get guns anyway without background checks and through straw purchasing, stolen guns and unsecured guns in homes.
We can save lives if we put our minds to it, deal with the issue from a fact based perspective, have a change in our conversation about the role of guns and gun violence in our communities and put our heads together to protect our children so they can grow into adults who contribute to their society and reach their human potential. Too many lives are cut short before that happens.
So back to Norway and Sytennde Mai– I hope all of my Norwegian relatives had a wonderful celebration. And I hope they will all be safe from harm. I do know that they are much less likely to be harmed by firearms than their cousins in America. It doesn't have to be this way. Let's get to work to change laws, hearts and minds.

Medical Malpractice – Physician Representation

Success Is Our Mutual Goal
~ Medical Malpractice
The Alexander Firm's Commitment To Medical Malpractice Victims
Attorney Joe Alexander says, "For almost 20 years, I was privileged to represent some of the finest members of the Houston medical profession. Both individual physicians and major hospital chains depended upon me to help them to examine the complex medical and legal issues involved in these cases, formulate their defense plan, and try their case to a jury." As a result of this experience, he can appreciate both sides of the arguments that surround a medical malpractice lawsuit and knows how to present those complex issues to a jury.
"I have found that technology is the key," Joe explains, "Through its thoughtful use in the courtroom, juries find it much easier to understand the technical issues in medical care that physicians take eight years to learn." Computers, 3 dimensional models and animation are a few examples of the weapons in the arsenal used by Joe. Since leaving his practice exclusively defending doctors and hospitals, Joe has used his experience to review potential claims and prosecute those claims that have resulted in serious injuries to his clients. Because the law was turned on its head in 2003 to severely restrict an injured patient's access to the courthouse, many lawyers have simply refused to review or file any case against a healthcare provider. Joe has been able to use his ability to understand the medical standards required of physicians and hospitals and the new requirements under the law, to successfully prosecute many suits since the change in the law. In addition to the financial compensation he has obtained for his clients, Joe has been successful in requiring policy changes and additional education as part of a number of these cases.
An example of Joe's commitment is represented in which he represented a young mother who underwent an endovascular coiling of a brain aneurysm which was, he was able to prove, not medically indicated. During the procedure she suffered a stroke, leaving her with the inability to speak or swallow her own saliva. The trial proceeded against the neuroradiologists who elected to perform the procedure. The jury returned a verdict on behalf of Joe's client.

DISCLAIMER: I am sharing with the world wide web what I have learned, used and what are my preferences when creating with wool. I, in no way condone nor abhor the use of man-made material for textiles.
It is no surprise Norway will have a centuries old purebred sheep.
Vikings history, early on, was oral. Stories and legends passed down from generation to generation at gatherings until the first written account of Viking heroes, sea adventures, triumphs, defeats, legends, pagan rituals and day to day living/survival was written during the 12th century by Icelandic Viking settlers.
All other written accounts predating the 12th century were recorded by those affected directly or indirectly by Viking invasions and their devastating raids only describing the savagery of the intruder, the pillages, the slaughter of the villagers and their possessed demon like appearance.
The 793 A.D. invasion and sacking at Lindisfarne in Northumbria, modern day Northern England and South-East Scotland, were recorded by the surviving monks. The infamous "EVIL" description of the barbaric actions of the Vikings, named the "Great Heathen Army" and carved onto the Doomsday Stone, the coming of the end of days, is how the Norse are still known today.
Images of ax wielding Vikings carved on the Dooms Day Stone. (Lindisfarne Priory Museum)
'Here were dreadful forewarnings come over the land of Northumbria,
and woefully terrified the people:
these were amazing sheets of lightning and whirlwinds,
and fiery dragons were seen flying in the sky."
The Nordic Countries...
Scandanavia, the Norse Lands, remote group of islands and peninsula in the northern hemisphere consisting of Norway, Iceland, Finland, Sweden and Denmark. Well known for its brilliant flickering spirals of light across the sky, its natural hot pools in subzero temperatures and its seemingly never-ending winters.
In this region there is a purebred Norwegian sheep, the Spaelsau. Proven to have existed over 1000 years ago.
Archeological Discovery...
In 2020 a Viking burial chamber of a young woman was discovered at Hestnes in Northern Norway. It was an uncommon grave for Norwegian Viking culture dating somewhere between the 9th and 10th century. It was the sole chamber grave at excavation site. The burial mound chamber, the burial rituals and offerings were known Danish practices. The treasures for her journey to the afterlife were a pair of wool combs, a spindle, brooches and beads leading to believe she was a highly regarded textile worker amongst her tribe. Despite the finding of the undisturbed burial site with identifiable traits it was an 11cm (4in.) remnant of embroidered fabric where most of the excitement was directed to.

In total there were six woollen fabrics and two linen when the excavation concluded. A brooch pinning layers of fabrics suggests the woman was buried fully dressed in her most treasured possessions of clothing- undergarments, dress and top layer. The top layer may have been a cloak or a cape.

Unlike other cloth remnants found in Viking burial sites in the past, the unusual fragments of stitching, embroidery, the theory of bead work for embellishment and a narrow braided edge is a rare insight to Scandinavian women garments in the 9th to 10th centuries.
The wool when investigated and studied is the direct link to the Norweigan Spælsau sheep.
Spaelsau Sheep...
Proven to be the original breed of Norway reared as a domestic animal since the Iron Age for meat and wool, the Spaelsau is a small short-tailed animal. Adult ewes weigh between 60 and 70 kilos (130-150 lbs). They have a double coat. The top coat is of long locks protecting the animal from cold and rain the inner coat is plush to maintain the animal warm. The majority produce a white fleece, however variations of browns and grey fleece exist. Known to survive in extreme climates and have the ability to adjust to limited feed. They have adapted to its environs depending on drinking sea water and eating seaweed for sustenance during the winter.
Icelandic Faroe Island
In the 1960´s and 1970´s breeding programs were established to prevent the decline of sheep breeding, then used mostly for its meat and milk, with Icelandic Faroa Island Sheep and Finnsheep.
Finnsheep
In 1992 Norway created two breeding stations to prevent extinction of the purebred Spaelsau. Today over 20% of Norways sheep are purebred Spaelsau.
The Wool...
The Spaelsau has a long crumpled glossy staple. Known for its longevity. Not soft, best for wearing mid or outer layers. Great for blankets, they are heavy and warm. Fabric does not pill from wear. A body temperature regulator and absorbs moisture from the skin. The strength of the wool allows it to have a lifespan fit to stand the test of time.
Spaelsau wool though the ages..
Archeological finds of viking burial sites and discoveries of viking longships have confirmed sails on the vessels were woven with Spaelsau wool. The strength of the fabric allowed strong winds to guide them across the sea without tearing. The water repelling properties of the fiber enabled the vikings to shelter themselves with the sails from storms at high sea and the keep warm when shrouded with it because of the natural temperature regulating fiber.
Tapestries...
Perhaps the most famous and recognisable six panel tapestry is of the Lady and the Unicorn, 15th-16th century, representing the five senses; touch, taste, smell, sound, sight and "À Mon Seul Désir", My Only Desire.
Then there is the Bayeux Tapestry... EPIC!
Bayeux Tapest, :Bayeux Museum, Normandy France
The Bayeux tapestry is a 70 meter long and 50cm tall, (230 ft. x 20 in.), tapestry illustrating the battle of Hastings and the Norman conquest of 1066 allied with the French.
Woollen embroidered designs on nine woven linen cloth panels with over 70 scenes, in chronological order of events, with a plain background. Not quite a tapestry but referred to as one with the absence of traditional tapestry weaving techniques. The woollen coloured threads are natural plant based dyes of blues, pinks, oranges, yellows and browns. Basic embroidery stitches were used to create the images and texture: stem stitch, plain stitch and split stitch and Bayeux (couching) stitch to fill in areas. Simultaneously simple and complex. Often referred to as one long comic strip.
The video below brings it to life.
What is extraordinary about the Bayeux Tapestry is its survival through the ages not buried in a Viking tomb. It has been repeatedly moved and stored, survived the French Revolution, has existed during two world wars and the stitches of the images have remained unchanged like the purebred lineage of the Norwegian Spaelsau Sheep. It displays the great mastery in textile work and somewhat sensibility, honour and triumphs of the often misunderstood Vikings.

automotive:Will Your Brakes Provide the Stop You Need?
Will Your Brakes Provide the Stop You Need?
(ARA) - Have you ever stopped your car at a busy intersection and cringed in embarrassment as your brakes let out an ear-jarring squeal? Or braked and felt the whole car shudder and chug to a stop? Or worst of all, have you pressed on the pedal and realized that absolutely nothing was happening?
Anyone who drives a car has heard their brakes make funny noises and wondered what it meant. But how do you tell the difference between normal sounds and the danger signals that tell you it's time for a new brake job?
"Some braking noise is normal, but it should be minimal," says Pete Murnen of Federal-Mogul, manufacturer of Wagner brake products. "An occasional squeal does not necessarily mean there is a problem; noise can be related to a lot of different factors," he adds.
For consumers who want high-quality, quiet brakes with an extended life span, there is now a new alternative. ThermoQuiet Disc Pads are dramatically different from any other brake pad available. The one-piece, integrally molded insulator (IMI) design eliminates the squeaks and vibration often associated with other brake pads, while still providing superior stopping power. This patented, heat-dissipating configuration also extends the life of the braking system well beyond that of most conventional pads.
* Brakes grab at the slightest pressure: It could mean a problem with grease- or oil-contaminated linings, or a loose or broken component that could fail in an emergency.
* Vehicle pulls to the side when braking: This could mean an underinflated tire, brakes in need of adjustment or brakes in need of repair.
* Brake pedal or steering wheel shakes or vibrates, or the vehicle shakes when the brakes are applied: It could mean disc brake rotors need resurfacing, there is a loose component, or a faulty steering mechanism.
* Brakes are sticky, wheels are hot or there is a loss of engine power: It could mean brakes are failing to release.
* Excessive squealing, grinding, screeching, clattering, chattering, and groaning: Brakes need attention.
ThemoQuiet brake pads are available for most domestic and import vehicles. Consumers can request them from their local service technician. For more information, call (888) 444-1660 or visit www.federal-mogul.com.

BC drivers risk roadside workers' lives by breaking law, say other drivers (POLL)
Jenni Sheppard
Aug 2 2017, 7:34 pm
Roadside workers (JP WALLET/Shutterstock)
BC drivers are risking the lives of roadside workers and ignoring laws requiring them to slow down and move over, according to a new survey by Insights West.
The poll, conducted for the BC Automobile Association between July 13 and July 19, asked 803 drivers about what they saw on the road.
Some 79% of respondents said they saw drivers become a "lookie-loo" and drive too slowly past official, utility, or emergency vehicles on the side of the ride.
Meanwhile, 48% said they had seen others speed past the scene, 46% had seen drivers get too close, and 43% saw others change lanes abruptly.
In a release, Al Lam, tow truck driver and BCAA roadside assistance service tech, said risky drivers caused him issues every week.
"I have at least one close call a week, where I'm helping someone whose car has broken down and a driver speeds by inches from me," said Lam.
"I can actually feel the gust of air from the car on my back."
If you see flashing red, blue or yellow lights
In case you need reminding, drivers are legally required to slow down and move over for any vehicle stopped next to the road that has flashing red, blue or yellow lights.
This gives tow truck operators, roadside assistance techs, road maintenance and utility crews, police, firefighters, and emergency responders, enough room to do their jobs safely.
You should slow your speed to 70 km/h when in an 80 km/h or over zone, and 40 km/h when in an under-80 km/h zone.
As well, if you're on a multi-lane road, and it's safe to do so, you must move into the other lane going in the same direction to drive past any stopped vehicle with flashing lights.
If you fail to do any of that, you can get a $173 fine and three demerit points.
Most claim to know law but don't
The survey however, seems to indicate most drivers have no idea about these rules.
Some 84% of respondents who claimed to be aware of the "Slow Down, Move Over" law came up short on what the law entails.
Almost half (43%) didn't know about needing to change lanes and 59% were unaware of which flashing lights are indicators to follow the law.
Some 80% did not how much they should slow down.
As to why other drivers keep flouting the law, 78% blamed rushing and distracted driving, while 77% thought drivers knew there was a law, but didn't know what to do.
Most disturbing of all, 64% of respondents believed drivers knew the law, but actively chose to ignore it, regardless of the risk it posed to roadside workers.
Opinion: Dear douchebag drivers of Vancouver, please slow down
Driver clocked doing 139km/h on Lions Gate Bridge...in a SmartCar!
Could snow tires be mandatory for Vancouver drivers?
According to the Province of BC, between 2004 and 2013, 239 roadside workers were hit by passing vehicles– 15 of those people died.
"Ultimately, it's about driver education and empathy," Lam says.
"All we ask is if you see something on the road that might slow you down, understand that's probably someone like me, doing my job at roadside; someone who just wants to get home to his family safe."
Slow down and move over law
To recap, here's that law again:
you must slow down and move over for any vehicle stopped next to the road that has flashing red, blue or yellow lights
you must slow down to 70 km/h when in an 80 km/h or over zone, and 40 km/h when in an under-80 km/h zone
if you're on a multi-lane road, and it's safe to do so, you must move into the other lane going in the same direction
if you fail to do any of that, you can get a $173 fine and three demerit points, and can lead to driving prohibition
So please slow down and move over folks!

Apple hits an all-time high as China and the US reach a phase-one trade deal (AAPL)
Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~3/CijYtyBFOQE/apple-stock-price-gains-new-high-us-china-trade-deal-2019-12-1028763148
On Friday, the US and China reached a phase-one trade deal that includes some relief from tariffs, such as doing away with a tax set to go into effect on Sunday.
Shares of Apple rose as much as 1.3% on Friday to a new high.
Apple would've been hit by the proposed tariffs, which would've added 15% to prices of some of its most popular products, including the iPhone.

Shares of Apple rose as much as 1.3% on Friday to a fresh record as China and the US reached a phase-one trade deal that includes some relief from tariffs.
With the agreement, Apple has narrowly avoided a 15% tariff that would've been applied to some of its most popular products had a scheduled round of tariffs gone into effect on Sunday.
That would've hiked the prices of some of Apple's flagship products. According to Daniel Ives of Wedbush, the price of the iPhone could've gone up by as much as $150, which would've lowered demand for the product by as much as 8%. The iPad and MacBook could also have been subject to price increases.
Apple had been pushing back against the proposed tariffs. In November, the company filed requests to be excluded from the round, according to Bloomberg. Even President Donald Trump said during a visit to an Apple facility in Texas that he was looking into whether Apple should be exempt from the tax.
Most of Apple's supply chain is in China, including an iPhone assembly plant in Zhengzhou that is responsible for producing half of the iPhones in the world.
If the increase in Apple's stock price holds through the end of trading Friday, it will mark a four-day streak of gains for the company. Earlier in the week, Apple was unseated as the world's most valuable public company when its roughly $1.2 trillion market valuation was beaten by Saudi Aramco's market capitalization of more than $2 trillion.
Apple was up 72% year-to-date through Thursday's close.

Insurance - How Well Do You Know Your Policy?
Airbnb's explosive growth has been integral in helping to ease accommodation bottlenecks in the New Zealand tourism sector over the past year. There are now around 20,000 listings on Airbnb in New Zealand and hosts earned a total of $55m over the March 2017 year.
This article profiles the market position of private accommodation provided through Airbnb in New Zealand's two biggest visitor destinations, Auckland and Queenstown. It also argues that private accommodation, provided through peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms, needs to be embraced as part of the solution to managing peak load in the New Zealand tourism sector.
With the recent earthquakes still fresh in mind, it would seem timely to consider insurance matters for natural disaster cover.
The intention of this article is to provide a brief overview of the operation of Management Rights in New Zealand.

Selling Your Accommodation Business - How Hard Can It Be?
Selling any type of business is usually quite different to selling a house.
Most motels in New Zealand operate by way of leasing and likely many other types of accommodation properties as well. One of the main reasons for this, could be that the return from the real estate investment (land & buildings) is considerably lower than that earned by the operator of the business.
Addressing how a motel with a shorter lease length can be appraised or valued.
The majority of new entrants to the motel or accommodation industry will have purchased their business by way of lease. For many, this will be their first encounter with a commercial lease and it often seems that some aspects of commercial leasing may not be fully understood.
Advantages over other types of property investment.
When considering the purchase of a motel business for the first time, it could be helpful to gain an overview of the returns being offered by the current market. These notes are intended to outline the differences in return on investment for each situation.

Watch a behind-the-scenes look at the birth of Mortal Kombat's "Get over here" move
vardsmithcom October 15, 2021
Few games have embedded themselves in modern culture quite like Mortal Kombat. In the near thirty years since the first game's arrival, quotes such as "Finish him" and "Fatality" have become familiar even to non-gamers. Now, co-creator Ed Boon has revealed how a move associated with one of these lines, Scorpion's signature "Get over here!" came about: it was made up on the fly.
Boon yesterday tweeted that it has been three decades since work on the first Mortal Kombat game began. To celebrate the anniversary, he posted a behind-the-scenes clip of its creation in which Boon and designer John Tobias are overseeing the motion capture performance of Scorpion actor Daniel Pesina.
It's amazing to see the origins of Scorpion's iconic spear throw. Boon initially says, "You know what would be a cool-ass move?" before asking if ninjas have some kind of ropes. "It would be cool if something went… FAH!" he adds while making the character's throwing stance. "Like uh, an arrow or whatever."
Boon and Tobias also ensure that Pesina finishes the throwing move (this was before the weapon came out of the character's hand) at chest height so opponents would have the chance to duck under it.
It's interesting to hear Boon mentioning how many frames the moves will take up in-game, something that needed to be considered when working with early nineties hardware. He explained that the throw had to be quick enough to catch opponents by surprise, which meant keeping the animation simple while using very few frames.
"We were so tight on memory, that we didn't even capture any motions for the victim reactions. Instead we borrowed from their existing animation frames. You can hear us talk about reusing one of the victim's "knockdown" animations when they initially get hit by the spear," Boon tweeted.
"We also borrowed the victim's "fatality dizzy" frames to show they were stunned after being pulled in. Reusing existing animations was one of the many tricks we used to save memory, which was so much more limited in 1991."
Mortal Kombat went on to become one of the world's biggest gaming franchises, producing numerous sequels, spin-offs, comics, a short-lived TV show, and more. It also spawned several movies; 1995's Mortal Kombat, in this writer's opinion, remains one of the best video game adaptations to date.

1st Polish Armoured Division
By Todd Schneider
After the fall of Poland all the remaining Polish soldiers, sailors and airmen who had fought the Germans in 1939 escaped to France, fought the Germans again in France and Norway, and retreated with the British Army to the United Kingdom.
Stationed in Scotland, they helped build coastal defences until the Polish 1st Corps under Wladyslaw Sikorski was formed. One of the first units formed was the 1st Armoured Division.
To Normandy
Fortune favoured the Poles in this regard. The commander of the Division, General Stanislaw Maczek, was Poland's premier mechanized commander, and many of his subordinate officers from the unit he commanded in 1939 (The 10th Mechanized Brigade) had made their way to England with him.
Organized on the British Armour Division model, they were initially equipped and trained on Crusader tanks. But in late 1943 and early 1944 these were replaced with Sherman tanks. The division waited, somewhat impatiently, to be committed to the Normandy campaign, and in late July the first units of the Division were shipped to the Normandy theatre.
On 1 August, the entire Division was in theatre, and were attached to First Canadian Army. A week later, in Operation Totalize, it saw its first combat. Although its first combat was not effective, the Poles soon played an integral part in the Battle of Falaise.
At Mont Ormel "The Mace", Chambois, and Hill 262, the Poles fought and held against elements of the 2. and 12. SS-Panzerdivsions for almost a week, often against great odds and enduring incredible hardship.
Their actions on the Falaise battlefield earned them the admiration of the Allies and the respect, however grudgingly, of the Germans.
After Normandy
After the Normandy Breakout, the Division fought its way across Belgium and the Netherlands, liberating Ypres, Ghent, and Passchendale. A brilliant flanking manoeuvre by Mazcek forced the Germans out of Breda, allowing the Poles to take the city without firing a shot. The Division spent the winter of 1944 on the southern bank of the Rhine, and in 1944 it began liberating towns in Northern Germany.
In April the Division entered the Elmsland area, and on 1 May it entered Wilhelmshaven, where it accepted the surrender of the fortress, naval base, and 10 German Divisions.
The end of the war was not kind to the Poles in Western Europe. Many regarded the actions of Churchill and Roosevelt at Yalta as a betrayal, because they were not able to go and liberate their homeland. The Polish I Corps, of which 1st Armoured Division was now a part, stayed in Germany on garrison duty until 1947, when it was disbanded. Only a few of the men returned to their homeland; the rest went into exile in England and other Western countries.
In Flames Of War
You can field the formations of the 1st Polish Armoured Division by using the Sherman Armoured Squadron from D-Day: British and the Black Devils Command Card from the D-Day: British Command Cards pack.

I recently came across this article 'Conservation of Indian miniatures' – Posted on 24 April 2015 by Rachel Rowe on your website. Along with this lovely article 'An English sailor's rare collection of paintings shines a light on life in 19th century India'.
I work with the Asian Heritage Foundation and we are looking to source Mica paintings. This is a long short but any information would be extremely helpful regarding the same.


"My dissertation was in 19th century literature, specifically sexuality and gender throughout the long 19th century, about 1789 to 1930. Recently I've been more interested in sexual and gender expressions in the francophone world, so how queer people navigate the politics and the social sphere in the francophone world. Specifically, I'm interested in the way that queerness can have an effect on politics— how politics change queerness and how queerness can change politics.
"I'm currently working on a project looking at how Western narratives of LGBTQ pride and liberty subjugate non-Western sexualities and genders by forcefully contorting their expressions to align with Western equative relationships. Things like how 'being in the closet' equals shame and 'coming out' equals freedom. This is part of a larger book project that interrogates how queerness is understood in France by Western and non-Western populations and how the French Republic is being forced to reevaluate its ideological assumptions because of these new understandings. In other words, how France is being 'queered'.

There is no better way to see everything Perry has to offer than by getting behind the wheel of your Enterprise rental car. Stop wasting your vacation waiting on the bus, or being nickel and dimed with ride-shares or taxis. Having your own vehicle allows you to go to the areas you want to see the most, when you want. Make your upcoming vacation to Georgia even more enjoyable with an Enterprise car rental.
Perry is a perfect destination when you want a break from rat race of a big city. Guests come to explore Perry's storied past. But you may have your sights set on exploring the captivating art community and tons of options to keep you entertained. No matter what you decide on first, you'll want to check out as much of Perry as you can during your stay. And if you need to see what else is around Perry, then get behind the wheel of your Enterprise car rental and see what else is out there.
CarRentals.com works with some of the top rental car companies in the business. Enterprise started back in 1957 with a fleet of only seven automobiles. Now, they're recognized as world-wide leader in the rental car industry. Enterprise takes pride on being available when you need them the most and fantastic customer service.
How do I get a Perry Enterprise car rental at a great rate?
CarRentals.com always tries to get you the best rates, no matter when you book. However, booking your car ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Make sure to read the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.
Do I need to bring anything special when I pick up my vehicle in Perry?
What's Perry's minimum age to rent a car?
Enterprise's minimum age to rent a car in Perry is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles, may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Take time to check Enterprise's policy to find out if there is an additional cost for you.
What kind of Enterprise rental car should I get for my trip to Perry?
That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Perry. Compact or economy cars are easier to park and great for short commutes. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a mid-size vehicle or SUV will have more room for everyone's bags and be a more comfortable ride on longer trips. Those looking for a little luxury on their Perry getaway can choose the premium category for a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.
You are required to have insurance before you rent a car from Enterprise in the United States. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or American Express, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
Enterprise requires a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Enterprise will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip to Perry. Please note that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the make and model of the car.
At CarRentals.com, we advise a full to full policy. You should get into your vehicle with full tank, and you should return it topped off. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a filling station before you bring the car back to Enterprise. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Should I get unlimited miles when I drive in Perry?
Perry's small-town atmosphere definitely is charming, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities in Perry.
Enterprise offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your vehicle at another location. Don't forget there is typically an additional fee when you opt for one-way.
Once you've checked off the must-do activities in Perry, having access to your own set of wheels will allow you to see what else Georgia offers. When you're ready to see more of Georgia, you can go wherever you like, without having to wait for the bus or hail a taxicab.
Before your next vacation, book your Enterprise Perry car rental and visit all the must-do activities. Reserve with CarRentals.com and drive the road in Perry, Georgia.
