So you're planning to raise chickens in your backyard?
If yes, then I can assure you that you're about to get into one of the most rewarding ventures. From my personal chicken raising experience, you'll always enjoy a constant supply of fresh, yummy eggs, healthy and delicious meat, and pets to keep your company.
That said, one of the KEY items you need for successful chicken rearing is the best chicken coop— it offers your chicken a SAFE home where they can spend days and night without worrying about predators, bad weather, and other dangers.
BUT…what type of coop should you buy?
The perfect coop for you should depend on a list of factors, like how many chickens you plan to rear, where you live, and others.
I've done comprehensive research on the best coops on the market today (I focused more on the space, ease of access, ease of maintenance, features, and customers' ratings).
And I was able to compile up to 10 great coops on the market today that I'll be sharing with you shortly.
The chicken coops come in a variety of sizes, and the ideal size for you directly depends on your specific chicken rearing needs and requirements.
How many chickens do I plan to rear?
Do I plan to extend my flock of chickens? If yes, how soon?
What type of bleed(s) do I intend to rear?
Do I plan to set up the feeder and watering dispenser inside the coop?
What are the climatic conditions of my area?
How much is backyard space available for setting up a coop?
The rule of thumb states that you should consider 2-3 sq. feet space for each chicken inside your coop. And 8-10 sq. feet for each chicken when on the run. The more space there is, the speed the better.
Keeping in mind these chicken houses space requirements will help you get the right size of a coop.
If you plan to increase your chicken flock in future, then you'd want to get an even larger chicken coop.
If you're raising the larger chicken breeds, it means you'll need even more space per sq. feet for each bird.
Remember all these space requirements are for fair weather.
What if you live in areas with cold climate?
Well, in that case, you'll need an even larger space per chicken since the birds will be spending a lot of time cooked up inside their house.
And yes, if you plan to set up the feeder and watering dispenser inside this coop, then you'll need a bigger size.
WARNING: Never cramp too many chickens in a small coop. This will only lead to stress, pecking, cannibalism, and sometimes death among the birds. Diseases can also spread easily in such conditions. Adequate space in a coop is the recipe for raising a happier and healthier flock.
Overall, the MORE chicken you have (and the larger your chicken breeds), the LARGER a coop you'll need.
Sunngyglade is one of the safest, most comfortable, and durably constructed wooden chicken coops you can get on the market today. With an overall length of 58 inches and a height of 33.5 inches, we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a large chicken coop.
It features awesome poultry-friendly design that comprises of the resting box, nesting box for laying eggs, and the ramp. It comes with a sliding door and ramp which enable your chickens to easily enter the raised perch (the sleeping area). Inside this raised perch, your flock will remain safe from predators and keep warm especially in the rainy and cold days.
The window on the raised perch allows light penetration, free air circulation, and solar collection.
The pitched roofing of this chicken house is 100% waterproof, ensuring that your chickens remain comfortable on the rainy days. It also shields your chicken from the sun.
Another fantastic feature of this coop is the removable bottom sliding tray which facilitates easy cleaning. The gridding fences offer ventilation to your pets for a healthier atmosphere while further shielding them from predators.
This coop is constructed using premium natural fir wood. On top of this, it features a waterproof, UV-resistant, and corrosion-resistant paint. This ensures a long-lasting, comfy house for your chicken.
Although the coop comes disassembled, the previous users have openly expressed that putting it together is incredibly easy for everyone.
If you're looking for a great, affordable playground or exercise pen for your chicken flock, you can't go wrong with this BestPet Chicken Coop. Your chicken will happily and freely enjoy playing inside this playpen. It can also accommodate ducks, turtles, rabbit, and guinea pigs.
One of the top reasons why we feature this coop on our list is because of its solid construction. It's designed using durable metal with epoxy coating finish that's resistant to rusting, corrosion, and fading—even in the most extreme climate conditions. The result is an extended lifespan!
Because the coop has easy access, lockable door, you don't have to worry about the hawks and other predators taking away your chicken for a feast. The spacing between the bars is 1 3/8 inches, which further ensures no predator can easily find its way into the cage.
Included in the box is a waterproof cover to let your chicken play and exercise in the pen even when the weather tries to go against it. This cover perfectly fits the steel roof frame with enclosed ends to provide your chicken with full protection against rain, sun, snow, etc.
Assembling this playpen isn't rocket surgery, and you can do in a matter of minutes. Likewise, taking it down is quite simple and fast, so you won't be waiting all your time on it.

Other noteworthy aspects of this coop include the metal wire fencing which ensures maximum ventilation for healthier poultry lifestyle while protecting your animals from predators.
The removable sliding tray gives you easy access to the chicken dropping for hassle-free cleaning and maintenance.

You'll be wrong to think that this coop doesn't have much to offer because it has a compact design. We found everything about it pretty appealing. It comes with an incredible design with a variety of accommodating features for your chicken. It has a nesting place where the hens can lay eggs. And the nesting area has a hinged top to facilitates an easy way to collect or deposit eggs.
More on the design, it has two perches (yes, two of them!) which provide your chicken with a spacious roosting area, day and night. The included ramp facilitates easy entry into the perch. And the screened window allows for proper ventilation and airflow.
As your chicken take a trip down the ramp from the perches, they'll discover a large outdoor run that's fenced with metal wire to allow them to play and exercise without the fear of predators.

Above all, this coop boasts of sturdy wood construction which translates to exceptional durability.

Out of the box, this coop feels incredibly lightweight and sturdy. This is because it's constructed using blow molded plastic material which makes it sturdy and incredibly lightweight (at only 40 lbs.). For this reason, you can easily take the coop from place to place without requiring any assistance.
The coop comes in two sizes but I highly recommend you to go for larger model which holds 7-12 bantams. It features a ventilation system that you can easily adjust to allow free circulation of air inside for a healthier chicken lifestyle. It also boasts of a bottom that easily slides to give you easy access to the eggs.

As you get to the nesting area, you'll notice that it comes with a removable divider that helps you partition it into two nest areas. The play area is also large enough to allow your chicken to have fun and catch fresh air. Note that the wire cage or the run is made using galvanized wire to help keep off predators.
The entire coop features waterproof roofing that ensures no snow, sun, rain, etc., can compromise the comfort of your flock.
There are two doors—one on the first floor and the other on the second—both of which feature heavy duty locks to help keep the chicken from escaping while keeping them safe from predators.
Cleaning this hen house is probably the easiest part. Why? Because you just pull out the draw (the removable litter tray) to get rid of the dropping and clean it before taking it back.

The two large hinged and lockable doors (for the run and resting area) provide you with easy access when feeding the chickens or when cleaning the coop. The fact that this house has a removable bottom sliding tray makes the cleaning task even easier.
Remember that the resting area has a green asphalt composite material as roofing. This material is fully waterproof to protect water penetration into the coop as well as other weather elements.

As we've seen in all the other wooden coops in this list, this model also comes with a sliding door and ramp to facilitate easy entry of your poultry into the housing area. The removable bottom tray makes cleaning easy.
For the construction part, this chicken house boasts of solid, rain-resistant fir wood construction with eco-friendly painting to make it fully waterproof and corrosion-free. The green asphalt roofing shields your chicken from rainwater and harsh sun heat.
Lastly, in our chicken coop reviews (but not the least one), we have the Pets Imperial Clarence Chicken Coop. This is also a top-quality wooden coop that I highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable backyard house for up to 2 chickens.
Just like all the other coops that made it to this list, this one too provides a safe, secure, and comfortable space for your flock. It has a run area, nesting area, resting area, and a ramp leading the way up from the run to the raised resting room.
It's designed using quality animal-friendly timber that's tongue and groove treated. This enables it to serve you for years and years to come.
Unlike most of its competitors which feature a green asphalt roofing material, its roofing is made of wood. This is a plus for you since you can easily open the tip to get full access to the coop when feeding, collecting eggs or cleaning it. Not forgetting that this timber roofing is also waterproof to help shield your poultry from rain, fog, sun, and other elements.
The galvanized metal pull-out metal tray, which you can pull from the front side of the coop, further makes it easier for you to clean this poultry house. The coop comes flat packed with clear instructions on how to set it up.
What To Look For Before Buying a Chicken Coop?
How spacious is the coop you plan to bet your money on? This is probably the number one question you should ask yourself when looking for a chicken coop.
As we mentioned earlier, the question of space should boil down to your unique needs and requirements.
Determine the number (and breed) of the chicken you plan to raise to help you choose the right size of a coop.
A typical egg-laying hen will require around 2-3 sq. feet space inside the coop and approx. 8 ft on the run. If you're raising larger chicken breeds, then you'll need even more space.
Keep in mind that the amount of space in your backyard to successfully set up your coop also determines the size of a coop.
Or just follow our rule of thumb: buy the most spacious chicken coop you can afford.
Another essential thing to consider when shopping for a chicken coop the material used in its construction.
As you have noted in our section of the top quality chicken coop reviews, the most common materials used to design chicken houses are wood, metal, and plastic.
Wood: it's the most popular (and standard) material used to construct chicken coops. This is because wooden coops are incredibly strong and tend to hold up well to various weather elements. They also promote free air circulation and insulate your flock against the cold weather.
Metal: even though stronger than wood and plastic, metal isn't a popular choice for many chicken owners. They fear the risk of corrosion in the metallic structure. Other reasons that make metal coops less desirable include their poor insulation and ventilation properties.
Plastic: despite being the least durable of these 3 materials, is gaining popularity in the coops' world. It's capable of handling most weather elements pretty well and doesn't breathe like wood.
Which chicken coop should you buy? In our opinion, a coop made from quality, weatherproof timber is better than a metal or plastic one.
Just like we human beings, the chickens also love a home that's comfortable, safe, and friendly to them.
(i). Nest: eggs are one of the main reasons why you want to keep chickens. And you should make sure you buy a hen house with a nesting area where your hens will feel comfortable laying eggs.
(ii). Resting area: This is the main poultry house where your flock will be spending their nights. The ideal rest area should have roosts (length of wood extending from one side of the coop to the other). It should also have a window to allow light and air into the "room." And it should have rainproof roofing.
(iii). Run: this is basically a playpen where your flock can stretch their legs and play when they wake up. The playpen should be made of rustproof wire fence for maximum ventilation. If you have extra space in your backyard where your flock can free roam, the run might not be of much use.
Easy clean: make sure the coop you buy is easy to clean/maintain. Its doors should be large enough for easy access when cleaning. Removable litter tray is a good sign of easy to clean coop.
Ventilation: ventilation is crucial for the overall health of your poultry. Make sure the run area of your coop comes with wire fencing to allow free air circulation. Likewise, make sure the roosting area has a screen window for unrestricted airflow.
Lockable doors: the main reason why you're buying a coop is to protect your poultry from predators, right? A coop with a lockable door ensures that no predators can easily gain access into your flock. It also prevents your birds from escaping (and probably meeting their death). Windows (if any) should be secured as well.
Rainproof roofing: A coop that comes with waterproof roofing protect your chooks against various weather elements, improving their comfort.
Easy egg collection: ensure the coop comes with an easy-access nesting area. For instance, a nesting area with a top that opens up makes it easy to collect or deposit eggs.
Portability: is the coop you're planning to buy designed to be fixed to the ground or can you move it around when the need arises?
Can You Build a Chicken Coop Out Of Treated Lumber?
YES, you can make chicken coop using treated lumber.
There was a time when treated lumber was unsafe for both human and livestock.
The timber was treated using Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA), which contained arsenic that posed serious health risks to both humans and animals when touched or breathed.
Recently, a SAFE method of treating lumber has greatly reduced the risk associated with the pressure-treated lumber.
This new method involves using Micronized Copper Quaternary (MCC)—where the absence of arsenic makes it 100% non-toxic to you or your poultry.
And this affirms our answer that it's 100% safe to use treated to build a chicken coop.
You can use a new kind of treated lumber known as Accoya wood. This beats the pressure treated lumber and is 100% sustainable, natural, non-warping, and incredibly durable.
NOTE: Even if we have said that treated lumber is safe to use, I still suggest that you read the labels before buying any treated lumber to ensure it's safe for you and your poultry.
1. What's the best chicken coop size to buy?
The perfect coop size for you will depend on a list of factors such as how many chicken you plan to raise, the breed of your chicken, the available space in your backyard, and whether you intend to extend your flock in the future.
If you're unsure about the right size of the coop to buy, I advise you to get the largest model you can afford.
2. Can I build a coop on my own? Do I need any carpentry skills to be able to make it?
Yes, it's possible to come up with a great, durable chicken coop from scratch. And yes, you don't need any special carpentry skills to be able to do it.
All you need is a list of the tools, instructions to follow, and you're ready to build a coop!
Check an example of wooden chicken coop below.
3. Can chicken stay in a coop all day?
Yes, if you have a well-designed chicken coop—with the running area, nesting area, and roosting area— then you can let your chicken stay in all day long.
Remember the run offers your chickens an area where they can stretch, exercise, and play all day long. Plus it comes with a wired enclosing to ensure your chickens are safe from predators.
If your coop doesn't have a run, however (some models don't come with a run), and you've sufficient space in your yard, then you can let your chicken free roam in the garden.
4. Where can I buy a chicken coop?
There are numerous places you can buy a good chicken coop, whether it's from the online store or your local pet supplies store.
However, I'd suggest that you buy your chicken house from Amazon. Why? Because you'll have countless options. And for each option, you'll be able to read previous customer reviews to see how well the coop holds up and if it'll meet your needs.
I have raised chicken for years, and I can tell you that waking up to fresh eggs every single day is one of the best feelings. And taking that delicious meat from chicken raised by your own hands feels even better.
If you have decided to start raising chickens, whether it's for meat, eggs or just pets to have around, you'll need to provide them with a safe, secure, and comfortable house where they'll be spending most of their time.
The ideal coop should be spacious enough to comfortably hold all your chickens. It should come with a nesting area, roost, and run area to make it poultry-friendly. Above all, it should be constructed using non-toxic and durable material that can last longer with exposure to various weather elements.
Grab one of the 10 best chicken coops we've outlined above and start raising your chicken the best way.


As online slot games become more and more popular, game designers compete for new players and this drives them to innovate in slots in terms of theme, gameplay and features.

You can also see the attention to detail and the little touches that Microgaming put in to show that some real thought went into making the game.
It all starts with the music of Bar Bar Black Sheep. The music is, of course, based on the classic nursery rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep". The music is a little more upbeat than the original, which makes it fun rather than annoying. The reels are set against a sunny cartoon background. The background is a farmyard background that is colorful and bright.
The symbols are simple but varied. There are symbols of animated black sheep, white sheep, a barn, a bag of wool and three types of bars. Instead of filling the reels with fruits as low paying symbols, Microgaming put in farm-related items like corn, eggplants, oranges and apples.
All in all, the icons are very well rendered and are perfectly displayed on desktops and mobile devices. Bar Bar Black Sheep mobile slots is fully compatible with Android phones, iPhones, iPads and tablets.

Looking for an attractive business address in Dubai?
Who hasn't awed at the wonder Dubai has become in the last few decades? In the middle of the 20th century, the city (and its home country, the United Arab Emirates), relied mostly on trade, but the discovery of oil reserves helped them skyrocket into prosperity, providing a solid base on which the current economy lies on. Today, only a small percentage of revenue comes from the natural resource, with the balance shifting significantly more to tourism, finances and real estate.
Take a look at what Dubai has to offer you.
What your business address in Dubai has to offer you.
With its dynamically advancing economy, opulent construction projects and general development, Dubai is not only a reliable trading partner of China, the United States, Germany and Japan, but also one of the best places to live in the Middle East.

Whether you travel around or are looking for entrepreneurial projects, Dubai could be the perfect place for you, and with a real street address there, there are really no borders to what you can achieve.
Have you got your sights set on Dubai? A Clevver business address is the ideal tool for you to launch your business in the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Today, with the development of new technologies, people are looking for the simplest ways to earn money and the crypto-currency market attracts more and more people. And although this option is quite new, it attracts new players every day. But along with this a number of scammers, who take advantage of other people's means is growing. Some owners of such systems can leave you without a penny, in fact promising make you rich. In order to warn yourself against this kind of fraud, we have prepared for you an article revealing the true essence of the program associated with Binary Option Robot, namely the Bitcoin Code.
А functional trading system or regular option robot scam?
Now we often meet with information that Bitcoin is an option robot scam. To begin, let us turn to the very definition. The Bitcoin Code is an online trading software that has its own crypto currency. At first side it seems that this is some kind of functional innovation, capable of creating huge sum of money in a short period of time. The Interptionrobot is a scamnet is full of examples, as thousands of users win six-figure revenues in just one day! This system claims to give users a high winning ratio and reduces the risk of trading. In addition, it is suitable for everyone, because it does not require any previous trading experience. It seems that there is everything necessary for the functional work and profitable trade on the market. But is it really so? Let's look at an example of such scam.
A handsome and successful guy named Steve McKay is the developer of Bitcoin Code. But behind this brilliant success lies nothing but fraud. Thanks to the latest information we know, Steve earned $ 100 million through the work of his system in a small period of time, which is impossible for an honest businessman.
In fact, this platform uses the current situation in the crypto-currency market and thereby tries to attract investors' attention to the products of trade that are false. Thus, the program attracts new users, who immediately strive to create deposits and buy currency at favorable prices, thereby increasing their risk of getting caught on the scams.
Another doubt is the so – called great opportunity to create high profits. The site claims that the Bitcoin Code generates more than $ 13,000 every day, which guarantees you a fortune. Moreover, according to the official website, this platform never loses the profession or funds. In addition, developers say that over the past months, software platforms have brought more than $ 18 million. And it is obvious that this is completely untrue. The online market is open only on weekdays at a certain time, therefore it is physically impossible to make deals in a row seven days a week.
You can identify a lie by simply first glance at the Bitcoin Code website.
This website contains a minimum of information and is absolutely unprofessional. It is more like an entertaining children's game than an advanced trading business. The windows constantly pop up that do not allow you to read the information. In addition, nowhere is there information about the details of the site itself. Can there be trust in the site on which spam and advertising endlessly jumps out? At the development of the site, a minimum of funds was spent, which is why they immediately raise doubts.
The truth is right before our eyes!
Now pay attention to the design. The line that we can notice in the lower left corner of the site with the Bitcoin Code says that for registration there is very little time. The amount of vacancies is rapidly decreasing, and you should hurry up to have time to register in the system. Such a move causes a person to feel the need to take action right now. At the same time during registration, you must specify personal information. Thus, they fall into the hands of the fraudsters, and later they will receive the funds that you invest in the crypto currency.
In the lower right corner, you can see that a certain person has just earned a fairly large amount. This sign is constantly replaced by new users, which allegedly gives you to understand that by registering now, you will immediately receive $ 300. But this is another trick of crooks.
Once you find a similar site, remember that most of trading systems are dishonest. These trading platforms are made for the sole purpose – to steal as much as possible from the investments of users. You should understand that in most cases you connect with fake brokers whose purpose is to get the maximum revenue. When you create a deposit, they transfer money to their account. Then they simply delete their site, after which you will not have chance to return your money back.
Trade is not just a game, and there is no trading platform, which can make a big profit in a short time without any effort. If you become acquainted with any trading system of this kind that promises you untold wealth tomorrow, immediately close it.
Also, we often meet videos with comments from people who allegedly use this system. On the video, we meet only happy faces, and this is simply acting. Such people earn positive feedback about Bitcoin. Every novice trader and user of binary option robot systems can easily fall into this trap.
That was all we wanted to tell you about scammers in the network in our robot review. To date, many novice traders can easily become victims of fraud, so you should always be on the alert. There are too many versions of option robot demo websites. You should only use proven and safe systems. For example, Crypto Genius, where in practice there is not a single case of theft or deception. Another optional network – there is a platform that will help you in developing your income and investing. This is ToolsTrades "- Signals Trades system, a trading system with certain signals that users will receive as soon as there is a profitable offer. The system is designed to calculate with high statistical accuracy on what trends are worth betting. Do not trust every network broker. It may end up in a sad way.

The results of actual studies just like this one are quite consistent and robust, and they may surprise you. Participants given "140 years" as their initial comparison point think that Gandhi lived much longer than those who were given "9 years" instead. Findings like these demonstrate what psychologists call the "anchoring effect": our strong tendency to make judgments that are biased toward arbitrary standards of comparison. The plausibility of these comparison "anchors" makes no difference to us–we rely on them regardless. As another example, research subjects asked whether Einstein's first visit to the United States occurred before or after 1992 give a much more recent estimate of when he arrived than those asked whether he visited before or after the year 1215.
This anchoring effect might be merely a perplexing curiosity–if not for its potentially profound consequences in the real world. Consider John McCain's recent remarks that he'd be fine with American troops in Iraq for the next 100 years, or longer. Whether he'll be able to implement the early steps of this troubling vision will depend on many things, including who's sworn in as the next President of the United States in January 2009. But the "100 years" anchor can–on its own–shift the public's expectations and comfort level for how long it's reasonable to have troops in Iraq. Several additional years suddenly seems like a brief stay when compared to a century or more.
There's a more general point here that also deserves our attention. Regardless of the particular policy debate, psychological anchors are likely to influence the public's support for various alternatives. An extreme proposal may only rarely receive broad endorsement, but it can stretch the range of options deemed worthy of consideration and thereby pull perceptions of what's reasonable in its direction. Thus, for instance, arresting and deporting 12 million undocumented immigrants may have the ring of lunacy, but nevertheless this proposal has bestowed an air of legitimacy and moderation on other highly punitive (and counterproductive) immigration policy prescriptions. This is, of course, the basic problem with "centrism" as a virtue or goal–its midpoint location depends entirely on the endpoints, which are themselves ever changeable.
Creating new psychological anchors beyond the previous range of common discourse can entail significant political risks for those seeking or holding elected office. This is why the assignment is often handed over to those who are largely immune to the consequences of electoral defeat. To our deep and lasting detriment, the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter, and the Fox News crowd have long embraced this role–all the while providing their conservative allies with the opportunity to appear as relative models of restraint and reasonableness in their speeches and votes on the House or Senate floor.
Over time, the successful promotion of radical right-wing psychological anchors has shifted many policy discussions far away from the values and solutions that many of us cherish. This election season is obviously an ideal time for progressive voices to push back loudly and forcefully. The anti-war movement's insistent call for an immediate responsible withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq is a perfect example. This option must be firmly established as an anchor in all serious deliberations about Iraq. Even if it represents a highly improbable outcome, it still serves to prevent the premature or artificial narrowing of future war policy debates. Progressives must similarly maintain and promote anchor positions on other crucial foreign and domestic policy issues. As for the political candidates themselves, even where we cannot prevent them from running toward the center, we can still play an important role in determining exactly where the middle ground lies.


The "new Libya" authorities know their heads could roll in the wink of an eye. That's why the Libya UN representative raised alarm. He said it's known that some former Gaddafi regime leaders were plotting a coup d'etat. "In the past few days a number of armed cells have been detained. They were plotting to sabotage and bomb Tripoli. Al-Qadhafi agents are sending funds to Libya for acts of sabotage". (4) Shalgam said he had sent to the Security Council and the International Criminal Court copies of recorded phone conversation of former Libyan Prime Minister Al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi (now living in Tunisia) personally giving instructions to launch sabotage acts. In a week Libyan present "prime minister" Abdel Rahim al-Kib addressed the Council imploring it to cancel the arms embargo against Libya.
There is a special operation to transfer the Syrian "opposition" brigands into Libya conducted under the cover of the UN Mission and its head I. Martin.
Once the fact has become known (6) I. Martin tried to make it look like it was not militants but rather "refugees" fleeing from the Bashar Assad bloody regime. But for anyone who has ever seen a map it's clear that one can "escape" from Syria into Libya only through Jordan and Israel and then crossing Egypt. And to overcome it all to be granted asylum in the most "problem free" country! Looks like these people are not refugees but rather marathon runners. As one can see it's another silly story. But nobody cares about the authenticity of the explanations offered.
(4) Reference: Libya's representative at the United Nations Security Council M. Shalkam's report at the 6728 session of the UN Security Council, February 29 2012, //UN Document: S/PV.6728, p.9-10.

"The Cloud" - do you really know what it means?
The cloud. A term used so much with modern technology and yet we so often see it misunderstood by the end user. So what does it actually mean?
So all users in the office would connect directly to the in-house server for emails and files, and any user working from home would have to remote in (normally VPN) via the internet and access the physical server that is in their office. This setup requires server maintenance, open ports to allow remote access, and a working broadband connection to the office for incoming email and remote users.
So when a cloud solution is in place every device, whether in the office or at home or even on your mobile 4G connection, access their data / emails from data centres located all around the world. And these 1000s of servers are secured, maintained and backed up by the company you buy the service from, such as Microsoft for Office 365.
The term "cloud" is simply a marketing word to describe services that are hosted and managed by larger organizations and not by your own company. Your data is still stored on servers, but instead of being in your office where you are fully responsible for their upkeep the servers are in a data centre.
Reliability – Most cloud companies will offer 99% up time.
Scalability – Whether you have 3 users or 3000 users a service like Office 365 can support both.
Cost – Cloud solutions are likely to be more economical for your company.
With cost, try not to simply consider like-for-like. Bear in mind that the reliability and scalability benefits of a cloud based service, as well as lower setup and support costs as well as reducing staff downtime add significant value. An on-premises server is bound to require support and downtime due to maintenance, all of which can be costly.
And how new is "the cloud"? Well the very principal of storing your data on servers managed by another company rather than yourself has been around for decades. Even your old POP mailboxes had the ability to store your email on the suppliers managed servers and the Hotmail service has been available since 1996, with others coming before them. So when considering what "the cloud" is, it helps to understand the technology behind and you soon realize that the concept and use of it has been in our lives for a long time, we just may have never realized!
Cloud services and solutions are undoubtedly the future of IT but it is important to implement the right cloud product that suits your business. If you want to find out more and discuss cloud options for your business please contact us here at Qdos. Or attend our introduction to Office 365 training course.

The ideal of "getting home for Christmas" is tinged with romance, conjuring images of rushing through snow and the chaos of transit to that ultimate family seat. For most of us, though, that holiday-card vision is a lot more complicated, and it's that painful, conflicting space that text game Bus Station: Unbound aims to evoke.
In Bus Station: Unbound, you can't rely on weather or the logic of whimsical urban transit any more than you can rely on your own family or the inexplicable magnet that suggests you ought to return to them. The transit hub you wander, lonesome and hungry and cold, is haunted by its own ghosts, other people whose pangs and circumstances will draw you into their orbit. Intellectually you have a goal, but your heart and spirit have manifold others, and they are sometimes at odds.
It's a text-only game made with Inklewriter, an incredibly simple and readable tool that even I can use (I once made a game about saving a pig, Bushwick, foodie culture and wild nights). If you can read and make choices, you can explore Bus Station: Unbound, and its incredibly piquant prose that conjures all the spiritual weight of returning to your hometown in the dead of winter.
Bus Station: Unbound is developed by Curious Tales and is free to play in your browser, but the developers would appreciate donations if you appreciate the experience -- a fair ask, given that there are some 100,000 words contained therein.

Use your designer handbag to carry off a loan at unbeatable interest rates.
Does your luxury handbag have a secondhand market value? If it does, Unbolted will loan up to 70% of this amount.
Brand and model: The key determinant of value is the brand name and model. Each brand has a pedigree of quality and status. Within that grouping of iconic brands such as Hermes Birkin, Kelly, Chanel and Louis Vuitton, the scarcity of the particular model adds significant value.
Origin and proof of purchase: The original box, dust cover, certificate, receipt and any other documentation will re-inforce the value.
Condition: Scratches, damage and any visible ear and tear will decrease the value.
Material: The material the handbag is made from - calfskin, crocodile, leather or patent leather will affect the value.
Demand: Demand changes with fashion. Perhaps it is Pierre Hardy's Kelly Hermes bag or the Cleopatra Bag by Lana Marks who produces only one bag per year. Maybe you have inherited a Whiting and Davis purse which was a huge name in the 1920s.

Match Report : 21/09/2013
Report: Notts Co 2-0 Tranmere
Messages from the Meadow Lane camp indicated that Notts County were fired up for the clash with Tranmere Rovers and that was undoubtedly the case. The Magpies fought for every ball and, with the help of the vocal home crowd, recorded a deserved first victory of the season, along with a much welcomed clean sheet.
Joss Labadie opened the scoring for Notts in the seventh minute with a well-taken header against his former club. Off the bench, Marcus Haber made it 2-0 in the 79th minute with a close-range finish and nearly added a third late into stoppage time.
First team manager Chris Kiwomya sent out a message of intent with his starting 11 – as they lined up in an attacking 4-3-3 formation. Midweek goal-scorer Danny Haynes was named at the spearhead of the frontline, with exciting midfielders Callum McGregor and Jack Grealish in close pursuit.
Mustapha Dumbuya and Joss Labadie returned to the side after watching on from the bench on Tuesday night. Therefore, midweek starters Marcus Haber and David Bell were named among the seven subs.
Buoyed by an enthusiastic home crowd, the Magpies did not look like a side fighting it out at the bottom of the table. Boucaud found Haynes with a delightful lofted pass and, following an exchange with McGregor, the frontman drilled wide of the mark.
A lot of emphasis had been placed on Notts delivering the first blow. And, it was a massive relief to the home support when their side moved in front in the sixth minute.
An excellent passing move allowed Grealish to find space and he was able to drag his marker inside before sliding the ball wide to Sheehan. The advanced left-back's cross was nodded forcefully back across goal by Haynes, allowing Labadie to finish the job with a close-range header.
The volume from the Kop raised as the Magpies' faithful chanted 'We're the Black and White Army'. The players responded with more attractive passing football that suggested more goals were on the way.
Another extended period of play resulted in Notts' next chance, as the Tranmere was stretched by a series of quick passes onto the right. Dumbuya delivered a low cutback into the path of Haynes, only the striker failed to gain a connection with his attempted shot.
As the pressure mounted, McGregor cut inside from the right and watched a powerful drive loop towards Sheehan, who climbed above defender Tom Hateley to clear the bar with a header. Haynes later skipped past his marker to drive high and wide from the corner of the box.
On 31, Dumbuya's clearance saw Haynes force away skipper Ian Goodison into a missed header on the half-way line. Grealish's pace allowed him to get a yard on two defenders but his low shot skidded narrowly wide of the left-hand post.
Rovers' first serious effort on goal arrived in the 35th minute, after Max Power created space for himself in front of the home rearguard. The midfielder unleashed a stern hit from distance and Bartosz Bialkowski did well to clutch the ball to his chest with a save to his left.
The visitors could have levelled on two occasions before the break. First Dean Leacock was forced into a brave block to keep out Chris Atkinson's powerful hit and then Bialkowski had to remain alert to deny Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro's header from Evan Horwood's in-swinging free-kick.
Grealish continued to look a big threat for the Magpies following the half time break. Within moments of the restart, he ran at the Rovers' defence and curled marginally over from 25 yards.
Haynes came within a whisker of doubling County's lead, following another outstanding overhead pass by Boucaud. The striker's fierce drive saw Owain Fon Williams produce an excellent reaction stop, which only partially halted the momentum of the effort, as the ball bounced against the outside of the post.
Dumbuya was next to test Fon Williams with a strike from the right wing, after composed work by Grealish in the middle of the park. In quick response at the other end of the pitch, the newly introduced Abdulai Baggie teed up Akpa Akpro with a centre from the right but the forward directed over with an improvised volley.
Akpa Akpro came even closer in the 74th minute, this time from a Power cross. The powerful Frenchman rose well to produce a thumping header that was only prevented from finding the net by the crossbar.
On 79, Grealish was denied once more when Fon Williams stood up well to his low shot. However, an important second goal was less than a minute away.
Bell, who had replaced McGregor, held up play on the right to feed the ball to Dumbuya on the byline. The fleet-footed full-back then rifled across the face of goal, where another substitute, Haber, placed home inside the six-yard box.
Sheehan, who was one of numerous Man of the Match contenders, almost added Notts' third late on when he watched a stunning hit crash against the side netting. Haber also thought he had added his second, as his low finish from Labadie's grounded cross was somehow turned away by Fon Williams and hacked off the line.
It was certainly the Magpies' best league performance of 2013.14 and lifted a lot of tension after a winless start. With the first league win behind them, County now look forward to a trip north to Carlisle United, where they will aim to make it back-to-back triumphs.
ATTENDANCE: 3,938 (including 328 Tranmere Rovers supporters)
ANDRE BOUCAUD | Pulled the strings in the middle of the park and was influential in so many of Notts' chances. The Trinidad & Tobago international was pushed very closely by Grealish for the award.
Look out for full reaction and post-match highlights on Magpie Player.

One of my favorite ways to eat eggplant during the summer months is to grill and marinate them with a simple sauce of olive oil, vinegar, garlic and fresh mint, a minty vinaigrette.
These are so good and easy to make that you will make them all the time, just as I do. Please read last year post on how to buy eggplants.
For this recipe I tend to use the globe eggplant sliced crosswise but I also use the Italian eggplant sliced lengthwise. Whatever type you use, be sure to cook the eggplant until it is tender all the way through.
Prepare the marinade in a baking dish while you heat the grill. Mix the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, chopped mint, salt and pepper in a baking dish. If your vinegar is too strong you can add a teaspoon or two of balsamic vinegar to cut down on the acidity of the vinegar.
Set the marinade aside while you prepare and grill the eggplant.
Season both sides of the eggplant with salt and brush generously with olive oil.
Grill the eggplant until fully cooked on both sides. Don't be afraid to brush them with additional oil while you grill them. If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan.
When the eggplant slices are done, transfer them to the baking dish with the marinade. Turn them to coat generously with the marinade.
Transfer the eggplant to a platter. Spoon any unabsorbed marinade over the eggplant. This dish is best served when the grilled eggplant has had a few hours to soak up the marinade. If possible, prepare it 3 to 4 hours before serving and keep at room temperature. Serve with crusty bread for soaking up the juices.
I always grill more than one eggplant, since they are as good or better in a sandwich the next day. They also keep well in the refrigerator for few days. Just remember to bring them to room temperature.
Prepare the marinade: Put the first six ingredients in a 2- to 3-quart (2- to 3-liter) baking dish and whisk with a fork to blend. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Prepare a moderate charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill. You can also cook the eggplant over moderate heat in a ridged grill pan on the stove.
Remove the eggplant stem, then cut the eggplant crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick (12-millimeter-thick) rounds. You should have about 12 slices. Using the 1 teaspoon salt, season both sides of each slice. Brush both sides generously with the olive oil, reserving any excess oil for grilling.
Grill the eggplant without turning until it is nicely colored on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes, then brush the top surface with olive oil and turn. (You may not need all the oil.) Grill the second side until the eggplant is cooked through but still holds its shape, another 3 to 5 minutes.
As the eggplant slices are done, transfer them to the baking dish. Turn them to coat them generously with the marinade. As necessary, overlap the eggplant in the dish, spooning marinade over each slice. Transfer the slices to a serving platter and spoon any unabsorbed marinade over them.

Is The Noni Berry Really A Super Fruit?
The Noni berry is one of those foods which has been consumed for thousands of years, yet has only recently burst upon the scene as the latest super fruit. A super fruit, is a fruit which scores at or near the top of the nutritional chart when it comes to things to eat that are very, very good for you. Other super fruits include the blueberry and the pomegranate.
There is little doubt that the Noni berry belongs in the super fruit category. It is highly nutritious, and from the standpoint of health, the Noni berry, like the blueberry, is high in antioxidants. Coming from the Pacific islands, primarily from Tahiti, but from Hawaii as well, the Noni berry is also a somewhat exotic fruit. Consequently there is currently somewhat of a Noni berry fad in the works, where not only the fruit itself is being promoted, if you can find it on the market, but all sorts of juices (including Snapple), powders, cremes, lotions and cosmetics are being advertised as well.
A Cure For What Ails You? - It can be sometimes be difficult to get an objective analysis of something that is being widely promoted as a cure for all sorts of ailments. There is even a Noni berry diet which supposedly leads to weight loss, though there is no evidence supporting the fact that the fruit contributes in any way to weight loss. Of course if you eat healthy foods, and the Noni berry certainly is one of those, exercise and count calories, you're probably going to lose weight, whether the diet is centered around blueberries, grapefruit, or Noni berries.
Other advertisements will tell you, since the Noni berry is rich in antioxidants, it reduces the effects of harmful free radicals in the body. This is true. The advertisements go on to say that since free radicals contribute to a host of diseases including congestive heart failure, macular degeneration, stroke, heart disease, and several types of cancer, Noni berries will help prevent the occurrence of any of these conditions. There is an element of truth in this, but the same claim can be made for a number of other food items, blueberries for example. Yet none of those food items absolutely prevent the diseases or cure them.
Beware High Prices - Pure Noni berry juices and products containing Noni berries are expensive. On the one hand, the Pacific islanders have been drinking it for hundreds of years, so it shouldn't be all that expensive. On the other hand, the Noni berry is not cultivated widely, and if there is a sudden demand, real or artificially created, and low supply, the price can be expected to be high. It also appears in looking at the advertisements for Noni berry products, that multi-level marketing (MLM) has reared its head. While MLM has its pros and cons, one thing about it is products tend to be aggressively marketed, and it can be difficult at times to separate the facts from the hype and exaggerations. Just because you may not have heard about the Noni berry before, and everyone seems to be promoting it, doesn't mean you've been missing out on anything.
It seems that what we have is indeed a super fruit, a highly nutritious fruit with definite disease fighting attributes. If you can get the fruit or the juice at what you consider a reasonable price, by all means try it. Just beware that some of the products out there which claim to contain the Noni berry may not be all they claim to be. In addition, if you purchase Noni berry supplements or powders, read the label, so you know what other ingredients are included. The Noni berry may be good for you, something else in the mix might not.

Whistleblowing: International Standards and Developments
CORRUPTION AND TRANSPARENCY: DEBATING THE FRONTIERS BETWEEN STATE, MARKET AND SOCIETY, I. Sandoval, ed., World Bank-Institute for Social Research, UNAM, Washington, D.C., 2011

Whistleblowing is a key tool in fighting corruption. By promising that their rights will be protected, employees and others who are familiar with the inner workings of an organisation and are in position to see when corruption occurs, will feel more willing to expose those problems to those who are in a position to remedy it, or more generally to the public.
Whistleblowers often face severe repercussions for their actions. They lose their jobs or are ostracized for their activities. Some are charged with crimes for violating laws or employment agreements. In extreme cases, they face physical danger.
Over 30 countries around the world have adopted legal regimes to encourage these important disclosures and protect the whistleblowers from retribution. Many international agreements and treaties on anti-corruption including the Council of Europe and UN Convention Against Corruption now include requirements that nations adopt these laws. Many organisations are also adopting internal rules to facilitate disclosures.
This paper reviews whistleblower legislation from around the world and proposes standards that should be adopted by nations in their own legislation.

And the contents of build.gradle(Project:MyApplication)
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

Contents of build.gradle(Module:app):
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.user.myapplication"

A: I suddenly got the same error and I realized it was happening because of the new Google Play Services library.
I changed this line
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.3.0'
back to
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.0'
and I can run the app again. As soon as I update to 7.3.0, the problem reappears (every single time).
I'm using Android Studio 1.2, gradle plugin 1.2.2, compileSdkVersion 22, buildToolsVersion 22.0.1.

A: Try to make sure you keep everything up to date, especially the build tools when building android apps.
Top build.gradle:
buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.2' // <-- was 1.1.0

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

app/build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22 // <-- was 21
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1" // <-- was 21.1.2

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.user.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 9
        targetSdkVersion 22 // <-- was 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'
}

A: Try what mark did you say but you keep com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0

A: I had the same error. I was building the library that was giving me this error with a different SDK build tool. All I had to is right click on that library, for my case "google maps", click on "open module settings", and change the Compile SDK version as well as the build tools version to the same version I'm using for my app directory

A: For my part, i solved this issue by remove incremental true in dexOptions (app/build.gradle).
incremental and multidex is not possible.
