Gloucester Rugby flies high with The Little Jet Company
The Little Jet Company, based at Gloucestershire Airport, has teamed up with Gloucester Rugby to provide team travel for their European games this season. They kicked off by organising travel for the team to Lyon for the European Rugby Champions Cup match Lyon vs Gloucester.
The trip, from a private jet terminal at Bristol Airport, was organised as part of a sponsorship package agreed with the club. The Little Jet Company are pleased to have liaised with BA CityFlyer who provided the 98-seat aircraft on behalf of British Airways.
The trip also marked The Little Jet Company's move into the group charter market. They plan to offer group charters for larger groups who may want to organise travel for 20 people or more. This could include travel for business or to sporting events.
Director of The Little Jet Company Barry Preece, said: "We are pleased to renew our sponsorship with Gloucester Rugby, allowing us to strengthen our relationship with the club."
Tom Adams, Commercial Sales Manager at Gloucester Rugby, said: 'We have worked closely with The Little Jet Company for many years, they are great supporters of Gloucester Rugby and invest in the club in many ways. We are delighted to be working together more closely, and using their fantastic services for our European travel this season. Their flexibility and proactiveness has really impressed all at the club.'
The Little Jet Company has gone from strength to strength since it was set up six years ago by Barry Preece and Jason Bishop who met at school.
The company provides services including privately owned jets for passenger charter and also for cargo, medical and critical flights. They also manage aircraft.
This year the Little Jet Company had its busiest summer on record with increased demand as passengers opted to travel in their own social bubbles. This year also the company, which includes The Little Jet Company and Regency Jet Ltd, was awarded an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) by the Civil Aviation Authority, the UK's aviation regulator.

Few experiences however attempt 5-12 ft on the West finish with contemporary reduce fntsy sports community bait (shad, carp, bluegill, and so forth.). Set up service about four – 6 months ago for my enterprise and have never needed to worry about the look of the entrance of our store. Our home windows at all times look great.
All the areas we checked yesterday had surface temps not more than fifty one levels, most barely cooler at 49-50 levels. We want some warmer days, warmer nights, and sunshine to get the surface temps up where the fish will turn out to be more lively. I did probe some areas 18 inches deep and the temps were high 10 most hated soccer players two degrees colder. The newest batch of trout was stocked on March 5th, 2018 in the Glen Elder pond.

Did you find yourself cursing repeatedly this summer in Brownwood when you tried to tame the hair on your bikini line or underarms in preparation for a trip to a friend's pool or Lake Brownwood? Shaving, plucking, waxing — it's an endless cycle of annoyance and irritated skin.
Now that the swimsuit is in the drawer for a few months, why not get rid of the hair permanently? Come in to the expert team at Creative Image Laser Solutions and we'll put our lasers to work on that unwanted hair.
People sometimes think of lasers and hair removal as more of a sci-fi thing. You know, zapping the hair like a Stormtrooper in a Star Wars movie. Uh, no. Lasers remove hair through a simple vehicle — heat. When you come in to our comfortable offices for laser hair removal, we first look at the color of your hair you want removed. We set the wavelength for our laser light to match the color of that hair. We then deliver short pulses of laser light down onto your skin and the hairs in the area. The melanin in the hair absorbs the laser light, and the light energy instantly converts to heat. This heat travels down the hair shaft into the follicle holding the hair. The heat damages or destroys the follicle, preventing it from growing hair in the future.
People wonder why you need multiple laser hair removal sessions. This is because of the hair growth cycle. Humans have around five million hair follicles on our bodies, with men having a few hundred thousand more than women. Each of those five million follicles operates like a free agent, meaning each is independent of the others. For laser energy to effectively destroy or damage a hair follicle, the hair needs to be in the growth cycle of the hair lifespan. The problem is, the hair can be in the growth, transitional, or resting phases; there's no guarantee how many hairs in the treatment area will be in the growth phase. During the transition and resting phases, laser energy has no effect on the hair follicle because the body is already in the process of shedding the hair, so it is not actively anchored in the follicle. For the laser energy to damage the follicle, the hair has to be in the growth cycle.
Now you see why it takes multiple appointments to remove more and more hair — we have to try and catch the hairs in the correct phase. Plus, sometimes when a follicle is only partially damaged, it can heal and begin growing hair again.
Laser hair removal requires expertise in wavelength selection, fluency, pulse duration, and cooling in order to effectively remove unwanted hair with the most comfort for you. At Creative Image Laser Solutions, our team has extensive training and experience to ensure your successful end result.
Ready to bid adieu to razors and creams? Call us at Creative Image Laser Solutions, (325) 641-1927, to schedule your laser hair removal for this fall and winter.

Eating healthy is hot and the demand for fresh, healthy food is growing. Restaurants, cafes and food vendors are realising they must respond to this demand as more people are in search of healthy food to eat out, with all the taste and variety of mainstream food.
My food and wellness journey has led me on a passionate exploration of delicious, nutritious, tasty and varied foods. Combinations and flavours that appeal to the eye and tantalise the taste buds. The possibility is endless including juices, smoothies, salads, raw dishes, healthy snacks and puddings and meals for every season and occasion.
It can be a challenge to consider all the varying health concerns and demands so my overall focus is to create inspired healthy cuisine that is plant-based, a close to its natural state, low inflammatory, low GI and low allergenic. Beyond this I design dishes and menus that are vegan, gluten, dairy, wheat and/or sugar free as well as working with more specific dietary requests. My aim is always to create food that is bursting with health and flavour so that is inspires one to commit and continue with their healing journey.
If you have a company, restaurant or project that may benefit from a health make over, some nutritional twists or fresh ideas from scratch I'd be happy to chat.
My approach to nutrition is thorough and all encompassing. There are no quick fixes or fad diets, the focus is towards long term, sustainable change. I work closely with my clients to encourage more enriching and thoughtful relationships with food whilst teaching that good health stems from a healthy body, a joyful heart and a peaceful centre.
You will be provided with the tools and knowledge for longstanding improved health and wellbeing with plenty of support and inspiration so that you may reach and maintain your wellness goals with a spring in your step and smile on your face.
I offer a few options depending on your goals and current health.
Ideal for anyone interested in checking in with their diet and lifestyle.
Perhaps you have no particular health issues but want to be sure you are supporting yourself efficiently. I'll ask you to provide a detailed food diary and fill in a basic health questionnaire.
You will receive a plan based around foods to increase and reduce and top tips to optimise your wellbeing.
After the forms have been returned there will be a 30-40 minutes session which can be done by skype, phone or in person.
* This service is not intended as a therapeutic protocol but general advice to support a healthy lifestyle.
This will include a thorough case history covering both current and past health concerns, symptoms and diagnosis, family medical history and present lifestyle including diet, supplement and/or medication use, levels of physical activity and work/life balance. I will then work to identify imbalances within the body and discover any root causes, predispositions or driving factors. Using this information combined with extensive scientific evidence I will evaluate your individual needs in order to provide a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan to support your health.
4-8 weeks later, dependant on individual case. We will review both your progress, any challenges and test results and work to modify and update your nutritional plan as necessary.
Functional testing such as blood, stool or saliva tests may be recommended as a method to understand or confirm any imbalances on a deeper level. This can also enable me to provide correct and appropriate support.
Nutritional therapy combines science with natural, often ancient healing techniques to support and balance the individual. The key principles of naturopathy are at the core of the practice and the approach aims to address the root cause of any health imbalance. It recognises the body's innate ability to heal given the right tools and uses holistic and supportive methods to restore and promote health.
Nutritional therapy and naturopathy can help support general wellbeing as well as a wide range of health concerns including energy levels, tiredness, weight, skin conditions, digestive complaints, muscular and skeletal health, hormonal balance, moods, fasting and detoxification and fertility.
I practice privately from East London and am available for both home and office visits throughout London.

I had no idea that the College Prep Scholarship was a thing until I was already a Quest Scholar at my respective school, but that just goes to show that you all are really on top of your game. I don't think I was nearly as prepared to go into my senior year of high school than the dedicated, intelligent, and diligent students I met at the conference. The fact that you all took time out of your present summers to do something that is going to benefit your futures, (it will trust me), shows that your futures are already bright.
I honestly cannot believe I am about to be a junior at one of the most elite colleges in the country–the long nights doing college apps, the endless research at the library and on the internet for scholarships, the constant nagging from my parents about if I was making the right decisions, the persistent proofreading of every morsel of information I put into the 1000 character essay that was going to dictate my destiny one way or another–it all doesn't seem so far in the past.
All I can say is that receiving an acceptance letter from that school that was in your top ten, your top five, or even your dream school will definitely feel satisfying. I definitely know that all of you College Prep Scholars are on the right track to getting those acceptance letters and I don't know what a washed up upperclassman like me could tell you that you probably don't already know.
The only piece of advice that I can give is that I know for us low-income students, a key factor that turns up when choosing a college is the financial aid package. Money (or lack thereof) has been a key factor in many of our lives for a long time. What I want to share with all of you is that yes money is a factor, but it should not be the deciding factor. You have overcome so much adversity and and you deserve to get a top-tier college education at a school that makes you happiest AND takes the least amount of money out of your pocket.
I believe in my heart of hearts that this is truly possible especially with help of organizations like QuestBridge that are showing elite colleges that low-income students can excel at elite institutions just like everyone else. For such a long time being low-income has been a problem for students like us, but being low-income is just an economic status. It should not define who you are and the mental capacity that you have. If anything it should only define where you are going because there is only one way to go from the bottom and that's up.
Being low-income does not have to be your dirty little secret anymore, it can now can be your super power because you have experience on handling life's difficulties. You have overcome obstacles before and you will overcome them time and time again. I am currently thriving in college. I am going abroad this semester, I am basically getting a full ride, and I am loving the people that I get to call my professors and peers. Best part is that I am getting to stimulate my mind and grow each and every single day. I can say that going to college was a dream come true and I believe that it will come true for you all too, just stay positive, keep up the hard work, and believe in yourself, you deserve it!

On Stage: Richard Bona and Mandekan Cubano @ Paradiso
It's been a few years since jazz musician Richard Bona, originally from Cameroon, visited our country especially for a club show. With a new album entitled Heritage coming up with Mandekan Cubano, it is high time to see this wonderful artist again who is considered one of the best bass players in the world.
Richard Bona and Mandekan Cubano at Paradiso Amsterdam, May 25 2016
His new album is an Afro-Cuban project where he explores the tight connection between African and Cuban music, which indeed have a lot in common. The sextet Mandekan Cubano consists of some amazing musicians and musical heavy weights, including two of the best percussionists Roberto Quintero and his cousin Luisito. It means all ingredients are in place for a wonderful evening and with the charismatic Bona on stage this is guaranteed. This man radiates positive vibes and sheer joy, chatting and interacting with the crowd as if we're having a drink together but at the same time making sure people don't lose attention. As he points out himself it is a noisy crowd and he needs to get the noise down a few times when he's about to play an intimate quiet song.
But for the rest he turns the night into a big dancing party, with explosive compositions that get the best out of every musician. All of them get plenty of playing time and solos to show their best stuff. Osmany Paredes, behind a large triplex screen with his grand piano, is playing lush latin parts. Trumpet player Dennis Hernandez and trombone player Rey Alejandro play sparkling solos with lots of dynamics, whispering when they have to. The killer rhythm section with the Quintero cousins on percussion and Ludwig Afonso on drums form an incredible base and keep it grooving and swinging.
Bona himself is never really showing off his bass skills but keeps it functional and is acting more as the front man and band leader. Besides an incredible bass player he is also a very good singer, with that characteristic voice that gives the songs an African vibe right away, not just because he's singing in a local language. His voice is amazing and he seems to be able to bend it any possible way. A special moment happens, when he tells how surprised he was about a video he watched with a girl that performed one of his songs in his club in New York. She's here tonight and of course he invites her on stage to sing the song with them. Again he is amazed, and so are we, how good she sounds and is actually able to sing the words in the local language.
It is characteristic for this night where everything is so relaxed and people are simply enjoying the wonderful music together. Luisito Quintero gets one of the last solos of the night and plays an amazing and explosive one on timbales, showing what makes him so good. The crowd keeps shouting for more and in the end Bona returns for the final encore by himself on stage. Such a moment, like a few of those intimate ones earlier in the show, when he gets everyone to be quiet and listen breathlessly to his lovely voice, gets more impact because of the swinging songs in the rest of the set. Richard Bona has shown us the best of Cuban and African music tonight and how wonderful they blend together. Please don't keep us waiting for so many years again and come back soon Richard!

Spinning: Audacity - Hyper Vessels
When the members of Audacity started their punk band fifteen years ago they were still teenagers. When you see and hear them now, they are still a group of young dogs, that by now released three full length LP's and a bunch of EP's. A few of those were released by the illustrious Burger Records label. This record company, that also settled in their home town Fullerton California, has a nose for bands that go their own way and this foursome fits in there very well. Hyper Vessels is their fourth album which is released on Suicide Squeeze Records.
On the new record you can hear that the boys turned into men and grew some balls. Not that they lost their swagger, since the band still knows how to go full force and the songs still have that garage sound. But it's clear they are on the road to adulthood and this has given the songs more edge. The catchy 'Counting The Days' that opens the LP, may sound very cheerful as if nothing is the matter, but the lads are definitely bringing some depth to their music. For example in the song 'Baseball' where they are wondering why everyone is so occupied with baseball, while the world is on fire.
So the sunny character of their music is only just first appearance, where the not always very exciting live in the small town of Fullerton found its way into the recordings. Their music now only got stronger and is still full of irresistible hooks and grooves. 'Dirt Boy' has a sharp sounding solo with a nice build up to the end where we can also hear some nice riffs. More of this is in the fierce 'Riot Train' and 'Hypo' with its heavy guitars. The record hardly loses speed and only has a few more quiet moments. Closer 'Lock On The Door' is a somewhat slow song with a very nice bass line. With garage rock giant Ty Segall on recording duties everything sounds extra sharp.
It is nice to conclude that Audacity only gained strength and quality over the years. The many hours on stage probably have something to do with that, but the band also knows how to let this reflect in their song writing. They managed to combine a grown up sound with the youthful eagerness from the beginning of their career and this makes listening to Hyper Vessels a big feast.

On Stage: Radiohead @ HMH
Leave it to Radiohead to create a buzz around a new album and accompanying tour. Rumours about a new record had been going around for months and when they cleared their social media accounts it was pretty clear something was about to happen. Still it was quite a surprise when new album A Moon Shaped Pool dropped so soon and their European tour was about to start in a few weeks. Demand for tickets was very high but still I managed to get my hands on them for the opening show in Amsterdam at the W.A.S.T.E. website in the pre sale. Lucky me indeed!
Radiohead at Heineken Music Hall Amsterdam, May 20 2016
Needless to say all eyes are on the Heineken Music Hall tonight for the return of the band that is so big but at the same time doesn't feel like a big stadium act. The choice for this middle size venue that can hold around 5500 people is a good one, since it won't turn into a mass event and even can get quite intimate but still will do justice to the undoubtedly visual and musical spectacle that we're going to witness tonight. And of course they need the room for all the fans that want to see their favourite band.
The band kicks off with new single and album opener 'Burn The Witch' which is instantly followed by a few more songs from the album in the exact same order. By the time we come to realize this and think that they may play the full new album integrally, 'Morning Mr. Magpie' follows. Once again the lighting and visuals, although modest, are wonderful and creative without taking the focus away from the music for a bit. The sound is spot on and I'm once again impressed by this band that manages to recreate the complicated and layered songs with such precision. They have chosen for the two drummer line-up again which is so important to be able to play the complex rhythmic structures but at the same time keeps it organic. Thom Yorke's voice is clear with those almost out of key falsettos that give the songs the tension and emotion that you hear. And so we see the usual faces on stage without a string section as people were speculating because of the lush strings on A Moon Shaped Pool.
The band looks in great shape and there's so much joy on the faces of the musicians. It's clear they are happy to be back on stage and there's plenty of room for joking around and simply having a good time. Still it is the beginning of the tour and not everything runs smoothly. Yorke is even falling out of character when he gets the giggles. Smirking faces when things almost fail or someone actually does mess up, although nothing really serious. When the technique fails on them a few times, the band doesn't lose their cool but simply keeps on playing. Even when Jonny Greenwood's guitar problems seem to take longer to get fixed, Yorke says they will start the song anyway and he can join whenever he feels like it. This band has seen it all and doesn't even blink when these things happen.
Radiohead is a one of a kind band and you know every show is unique. Simply because every setlist is unique and will hold a few rare gems, for example 'Iron Lung' tonight that didn't make a setlist for a long time. Many fans will even go a few nights in a row and experience a different show every time, that are hard to compare. Haters are gonna hate, but Radiohead remains a unique experience that surprises and grabs you every time. Maybe tonight's show wasn't perfect but it was certainly good to see this band return to the stage.

Spinning: Bob Mould - Patch The Sky
The solo records of veteran Bob Mould were over shadowed for a long time by the monuments he built with Hüsker Dü. It wasn't that his solo work was bad, but they couldn't measure up with the impact and energy the legendary rock band played in those days. Mould turned out to be a master at writing righteous songs where he transformed his anger and outrage into walls of guitar. But on 2014's Beauty & Ruin he proved again to be able to let his guitar speak and capable of writing powerful songs. Convincingly he continuous down this line on Patch The Sky that holds mostly explosive and hard rocking punk songs.
Good examples are the fierce 'End Of Things' or a typical punk son 'Hands Are Tied' that, because of its short running time, has a huge impact. All songs have that unmistakable Bob Mould signature, where his loud but not too heavy guitar riffs and hooks build a sturdy foundation for the uptempo songs. This is cast into some extra concrete by the tight and solid rhythm section consisting of drummer John Wurster and bassist Jason Narducy. It puts a song like 'Losing Time' in the right gear and makes the mostly acoustic 'Losing Time' still sound very groovy.
Like always the heavy songs are a bit of misleading vehicles for Mould's deeper lyrics. Again he is digging deep into his soul and is turning everything inside out without shying away from themes like insecurity and suicide. It is praiseworthy that he is not afraid of showing his emotions and revealing himself completely. Only in the heavy and slow 'Black Confetti' and the melancholic closer 'Monument' it is clear right away that these aren't light tunes. It is striking how inspired Mould always sounds and how refreshing this makes the record.
In the same way as other veterans like Iggy Pop and Nick Cave, it seems there's a lot we can expect from the old Hüsker Dü front man. Patch The Sky may even be his best solo work so far and reminds now and then of his heyday. Only this time he is a heavy-duty experienced musician with a long life behind him with many ups and downs. Fortunately he still doesn't hide himself behind his powerful guitar play, but shares his mind without problems with anyone willing to listen.

On Stage: New Cool Collective ft. Thierno Koite
On a trip through Senegal New Cool Collective attended an Orchestra Baobab show and got acquainted with their alto sax player Thierno Koite. They got along very well and the band dedicated a song to him on their album Electric Monkey Sessions. Now, a few years later, they even were able to fly him over and record some songs together and of course do a few shows while he's here.
New Cool Collective ft. Thierno Koite at Paradiso Amsterdam, May 8 2016
I've seen New Cool Collective play several times of course but not so often will you be able to see them play with their entire big band. That alone is a reason to go see this show. First they start to play a few songs without their special guest to warm up, as if they need to on this tropical day in May. It's always nice to see this band play, with their loose and cool attitude but very tight arrangements and play. You can leave it to these top notch players to throw a swinging party and it's sad to see not many people are here tonight.
Most of the big band players get their change to play a solo tonight up front in the spot light although maybe the sax players spent less time there. Because their special guest Thierno Koite is invited to the stage after a small introduction by band leader Benjamin Herman. Koite looks a bit overwhelmed by all this attention but NCC make sure he gets plenty of time to play. Herman mentions his unique sax sound and indeed it's almost as if his sax is singing African songs, sometimes even whispering.
There are a few Orchestra Baobab songs on tonight's setlist together with some new songs and everything is entirely written for this special set-up. The band is in great shape and on fire so it's impossible to stand still. The rhythm section goes crazy with explosive solos and all sax players gather at the front for an amazing round of saxophone craziness. Together with Koite, NCC turned this night into an African dancing party and we even had the African sun to go with it. I can't wait to hear the new album!

On Stage: The Kills @ Melkweg
It's been five years since The Kills were in our country for a show. At that time they released Blood Pressures that received good reviews. Live on stage they can play brought hot steaming shows when everything is running smoohtly. So now with neir sixth album Ash & Ice coming out next month the duo is finally back for a visit and I don't want to miss it.
The Kills at Melkweg Amsterdam, May 2 2016
This time they bring two more people with them on stage, but a drum computer and sequencer are still used a lot. The songs do gain more body with the two additional musicians that are kept to the back a bit away from the spot lights. If it's not clear who the stars of this show are, this should give you an idea. And of course it's all about Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince, who both are in great shape and in a good mood.
Mosshart has rock chick written all over her, the way she moves around stage, strikes rock poses and plays the crowd. Like a caged lion she's sometimes walking up and down, only to let go of a big roar later on, or a purr when appropriate. She can look seductive and sexy throwing sultry looks, but sometimes drops the rock star mask when she smiles adorably.
Hince is very active on the other side of the stage, showing his incredible guitar skills. Even when technically things aren't optimal or a guitar is out of tune, he keeps on going like everything is all well. He takes his share into the spot light often, shredding his guitar while pointing it theatrically at the crowd. Hince and Moshart are always keeping an eye out for each other and the chemistry is incredible between the two of them. It gives their music extra energy and the show more fire.
About half of the new album makes it onto the setlist, especially halfway the show when three of them are played back to back. Shortly after, new single 'Doing It To Death' follows, that already has captured the heart of the fans judging from the cheers. The new songs fit in perfectly with the rest and don't seem to be so drastically different, althoug they may be more heavy compared to the rest. In the encore another new track 'Siberian Nights' pops up until an inspired version of 'Sour Cherry' closes the night. The Kills looked very convincing tonight and this makes me look forward to the new album a lot.

On Stage: Ought @ Paradiso Tolhuistuin
Last year Montreal band Ought released a very impressive album Sun Coming Down, that I thought was one of the best albums that year. They played a good show at Into The Great Wide Open last September, that made me long for a club show. Half a year later they are playing the Paradiso venue Tolhuistuin across the IJ water.
Ought at Paradiso Tolhuistuin, April 29 2016
Singer Tim Darcy asks during the show which venue people like more, the legendary Paradiso in the city centre or this one, the Tolhuistuin. They didn't know it was an island he adds, which it is not by the way, although the shortest way for many is a few minutes by ferry. It's one of the scarce moments Darcy is actually trying to have a conversation with the audience. For the rest he restricts himself to some quick thank yous when it comes to audience interaction. That is actually a good thing, because tonight it enables Ought to put up an impressive and intense show that keeps building up tension.
And that is exactly what their music needs to actually make an impact. The dark riffs are hammered into your head tonight and all the words in Darcy's nasal vocals hit us with great force. The first album already had some great stuff, like title track 'Today, More Than Any Other Day', that is spot on today. But their latest album 'Sun Coming Down' simply has so many of those songs like 'Men For Miles' with that repetitive chorus singing "There were men for miles/There were men for miles/And doesn't it just bring a tear to your eye". It is repeated so many times and builds up more tension every repetition, until it sounds like an abstract mantra.
That's where the strength of Ought lies, the words and music combined are shaping a structure until the band decides to either leave it or crush it with a bang. Like on the album 'Beautiful Blue Sky' is the centre piece, the monument where it all comes together. Darcy is raising his finger now and then as if he's trying to make a point, where he isn't really but it works very well. Sometimes they want to make the crowd uncomfortable in a song, where the music kind of itches and gets under your skin. Drummer Tim Keen doesn´t always play straightforward rock grooves, but instead is very creative in his drumming, which adds an extra dimension.
Tonight all these elements work very well where the band looks focused and in great shape. It's great to see when things all come together they can take their music to the next level and it really gets to you. I can't wait to hear new music by these guys.

Foursquare adds comments, photos for tips
Ronny Kerr · December 20, 2010 · Short URL: https://vator.tv/n/150b
Website and iPhone immediately, Android later this week, webOS and BlackBerry in January
Hot on the heels of a major API update, Foursquare announced Monday that it has updated its iPhone app and site with two new features: photos and comments.
Users can now comment on each other's check-ins, which seems like pretty obvious functionality. It's a nice reminder that Foursquare is still just a startup, iterating like crazy to meet user demand for features they expect. The new commenting system will likely serve a wide variety of uses, but could most importantly become the primary way for Foursquare users to meet up when in the same location. As long as users have push notifications enabled, one could quickly ask to meet up with a friend who just checked in nearby. Comments work from the mobile app, on the website, and from check-in links posted to Facebook or Twitter.
Another feature for supplementing check-ins, Foursquare now lets users upload photos with their tips. Now you don't have to just trust the user, you can see for yourself.
Finally, here's something that Facebook can't even get right: a history page. At foursquare.com/history, users can now see a perfectly preserved archive of all the places they've been, with photos and comments included.
All of these features are now available on the app for iPhone, already live in the App Store. Android is slated to get the updates later this week, while webOS and BlackBerry users will have to wait for January. Other platforms, including Nokia, will brought up to speed in early 2011.
One commenter seemed particularly thrilled about the mention of webOS in this most recent announcement from Foursquare.
"Thanks for including the WebOS in this - we're usually the left-outs who have to just watch while the others play!"
True enough, which proves that a smart startup knows it can't really afford to snub its users on any platform. Most of the comments, in general, seemed really positive about the changes.

The Super Bowl's most memorable trick plays
Among the top trick plays in Super Bowl history, one run against the Colts in 2010.
The Super Bowl's most memorable trick plays Among the top trick plays in Super Bowl history, one run against the Colts in 2010. Check out this story on IndyStar.com: https://indy.st/1WY4TpD
Associated Press Published 3:30 p.m. ET Feb. 1, 2016
An offiical signals that the New Orleans Saints will have possesion of the ball after an on-side kick, as New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead (6) reacts during the second half of the NFL Super Bowl XLIV football game against the Indianapolis Colts in Miami, Sunday, Feb. 7, 2010. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)(Photo: AP)
The appetite for gadgets and gimmicks at the Super Bowl is typically low. Surprising the other team with a safety blitz or deep pass, sure, but the risk of true trickery can often seem too steep with a title on the line.
Mess up a clever play in a game of this magnitude and lose a close one in the end? Good luck living that decision down for the rest of your coaching career. The reward of a momentum swing, though, remains a viable reason to roll the dice.
Here's a look back at some of the most memorable trick plays in Super Bowl history:
STICK IT TO 'EM
Dallas had a 10-point lead midway through the fourth quarter in New Orleans on Jan. 15, 1978. After Denver lost a fumble on a sack at its 29-yard line, Cowboys coach Tom Landry ordered the kill shot.
Running back Robert Newhouse grabbed a pitch from Roger Staubach and ran left. He stopped and threw right to Golden Richards for the game-sealing touchdown.
The play became even more of a standout afterward, when Newhouse revealed his anxiety in the huddle stemming from an excess of Stickum, the now-banned substance once used by skill-position players to grip the ball more easily, on his hands. Newhouse was hastily scrubbing it off in the huddle once his assignment became clear.

STEEL SURPRISE
Leading Seattle by four points early in the fourth quarter in Detroit on Feb. 5, 2006, Pittsburgh got the ball back with an interception at its 5-yard line. Three plays later, coach Bill Cowher made a bold call.
Running back Willie Parker handed off to wide receiver Antwaan Randle El on a first-down reverse from the Seahawks 43. Then Randle El, a former college quarterback at Indiana, halted his run and heaved the ball to a wide-open Hines Ward for the 21-10 final score.
That's the only touchdown pass by a wide receiver in Super Bowl history.
'AMBUSH' IN MIAMI
New Orleans stunned Indianapolis by recovering the kickoff to start the second half in Miami on Feb. 7, 2010.
The play was called "ambush," a stutter-step tap by rookie kicker Thomas Morstead out of a standard formation with the Colts leading 10-6. The Saints responded with their first touchdown six plays later and went on to win 31-17.
Coach Sean Payton even drew praise for the daring move from President Barack Obama at the White House ceremony for the first-time champions that summer.

— Denver Broncos complete 23-yard halfback pass from Steve Sewell to John Elway to set up field goal in first quarter for 10-0 lead on Washington Redskins, before falling 42-10 in 1988.

Novi getting state funds for parkland near 12 Mile, Wixom
The city of Novi has been recommended by the MNR Trust Fund for help with buying some land to be used as a community park.

Novi could be getting help in aquiring a 10-acre parcel of potential parkland.(Photo: Randall Masters)
The city of Novi could be getting some help, around $385,000 worth of it, from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund to help in acquiring land to be made into a community park.
Gov. Rick Snyder announced Monday the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund board's recommendation to the Legislature that 69 recreational development projects and land acquisitions totaling $24.7 million be funded in 2015.
This includes the Novi project for the acquisition of a 10-acre parcel of potential parkland near the city's western border for public recreational use. The property is located on the south side of 12 Mile between Wixom Road and Napier, adjacent to new the Andelina Ridge subdivision.
The grant request indicated that the total cost for the property would be for $550,000, with the city's share being $165,000 (30 percent) and the state grant covering $385,000 (70 percent).
According to the project's goals, the additional park land would provide recreation opportunities for underserved portions of the population. Recreation uses proposed for the parcel include playgrounds, a woodland pathway and ball fields.
For Novi City Council member Andrew Mutch, who was thrilled to hear of the announcement, this is a big development.
"I think it's smart that the city is being proactive by acquiring park property in an area of Novi that doesn't have any neighborhood parks and doing that by leveraging local tax dollars with a Trust Fund grant from the state," Mutch said. "I'm also pleased to see the city acquiring another 10 acres of woodlands and open space and preserving that from development."
Mutch said when developed, the property is planned for a neighborhood park to help meet the recreational needs of the residents of western Novi. Several new residential developments have been constructed or are under construction in the immediate area. It also preserves open space and woodlands on the property.
lhuhman@hometownlife.com | 517-294-4215; Twitter: @lhuhman
According to Gov. Rick Snyder's office, the board considered a total of 156 applications seeking $44.7 million in funding. In a competitive process, all eligible applications were evaluated on scoring criteria developed by the Trust Fund board.
"Broader public access to plentiful, quality outdoor recreation opportunities plays a central role in Michigan's economy and quality of life for residents and visitors," Snyder said. "The Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund continues to support active, healthy lifestyles for people of all abilities and has done so for nearly 40 years, funding recreational opportunities in every county in Michigan."
The Trust Fund board recommends funding to both state and local agencies for development projects and land acquisitions that will further access to public outdoor recreation.
This year, the board recommended $18.2 million for acquisition grants and $6.4 million for development grants. Sixteen acquisition grants were awarded to local units of government for a total of $8.8 million, while nine acquisition grants went to the Department of Natural Resources for projects totaling $9.3 million. The Trust Fund board also recommended a total of $5.5 million in 40 development grants be awarded to local units of government, while four DNR projects garnered a total of $940,000.
"This year's recommended grants reflect the Trust Fund board's strong engagement with local communities and add to Michigan's world-class network of trails," DNR Director Keith Creagh said. "Opportunities for outdoor recreation enhance a community's ability to attract residents, businesses and tourists. That's an essential component of reinventing Michigan."
The Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund is a restricted fund established in 1976 to provide funding for public acquisition of lands for resource protection and outdoor recreation, as well as for public outdoor recreation development projects. It is funded through interest earned on funds derived from the development of publicly owned minerals. Over the past 39 years, the Trust Fund has granted more than $1 billion to state and local units of government to develop and improve recreation opportunities in Michigan.
The Trust Fund board's recommendations will go to the Legislature for review as part of the appropriations process. Upon approval, the Legislature forwards a bill to the governor for his signature.
A list of the final recommendations made by the Trust Fund board is available at www.michigan.gov/mnrtf.

2. That Hamas did have a deliberate policy of having its combatants dress in civilian clothing, fire their rockets from densely populated areas, use civilians as human shields, and store weapons in mosques.
I have written a detailed analysis of the Goldstone Methodology, which is now available online, (http://www.alandershowitz.com/goldstone.htm). It is being sent to the Secretary General of the United Nations for inclusion in critiques of the Goldstone report received by the United Nations. This analysis documents the distortions, misuses of evidence and bias of the report and those who wrote it. It demonstrates that the evidence relied on by the report, as well as the publicly available evidence it deliberately chose to ignore, disproves its own conclusions.
The central issue that distinguishes the conclusions the Goldstone Report reached regarding Israel, on the one hand, and Hamas, on the other, is intentionality. The report finds that the most serious accusation against Israel, namely the killing of civilians, was intentional (and deliberately planned at the highest levels). The report also finds that the most serious accusations made against Hamas, namely that their combatants wore civilian clothing to shield themselves from attack, mingled among the civilian populations and used civilians as human shields, was unintentional. These issues are, of course, closely related. If it were to turn out that there was no evidence that Hamas ever operated from civilians areas, and that the IDF knew this, then the allegation that the IDF, by firing into civilian areas, deliberately intended to kill Palestinian civilians, would be strengthened. But if it were to turn out that the IDF reasonably believed that Hamas fighters were deliberately using civilians as shields, then this fact would weaken the claim that the IDF had no military purpose in firing into civilian areas. Moreover, if Hamas did use human shields then the deaths of Palestinian civilian shields would be more justly attributable to Hamas then to Israel.
Since intentionality, or lack thereof, was so important to the report's conclusions, it would seem essential that the report would apply the same evidentiary standards, rules and criteria in determining the intent of Israel and in determining the intent of Hamas. Yet a careful review of the report makes it crystal clear that its writers applied totally different standards, rules and criteria in evaluating the intent of the parties to the conflict. The report resolved doubts against Israel in concluding that its leaders intended to kill civilians, while resolving doubts in favor of Hamas in concluding that it did not intend to use Palestinian civilians as human shields. Moreover, when it had precisely the same sort of evidence in relation to both sides—for example, statements by leaders prior to the commencement of the operation—it attributed significant weight to the Israeli statements, while entirely discounting comparable Hamas statements. This sort of evidentiary bias, though subtle, permeates the entire report.
In addition to the statements of leaders, which are treated so differently, the report takes a completely different view regarding the inferring of intent from action. When it comes to Israel, the report repeatedly looks to results and infers from the results that they must have been intended. But when it comes to Hamas, it refuses to draw inferences regarding intent from results. For example, it acknowledges that some combatants wore civilian clothes, and it offers no reasonable explanation for why this would be so other than to mingle indistinguishably from civilians. Yet it refuses to infer intent from these actions.
Highly relevant to the report's conclusion that militants did not intend for their actions to shield themselves from counterattack is that the Mission was "unable to make any determination on the general allegation that Palestinian armed groups used mosques for military purpose," "did not find any evidence to support the allegations that hospital facilities were used by the Gaza authorities or by Palestinian armed groups to shield military activities," did not find evidence "that ambulances were used to transport combatants or for other military purposes," and did not find "that Palestinian armed groups engaged in combat actives from United Nations facilities that were used as shelters during the military operations." There is, however, hard evidence that Hamas did operate in mosques and, at the very least, near hospitals. Circumstantial evidence (precise weaponry) was used to prove Israeli intent. Regarding Hamas, the circumstantial evidence even stronger in inferring intent. It is beyond obvious that militants do not fire rockets in the vicinity of mosques or hospitals because it is easier to launch rockets near community institutions. Rather, they do so only because of the special protections afforded to hospitals and religious centers in war.
The report—commissioned by an organization with a long history of anti-Israel bigotry, and written by biased "experts," with limited experience and a pre-ordained result—is one-sided and wrong in its fundamental conclusions. This should not be surprising since conclusions can be no better than the methodology employed, and the methodology employed in this report is fundamentally flawed.

Staffing industry legal news – November 2018
To help you stay on top of the latest legislation recruiters and employers need to be aware of, we've teamed up with ICE, specialist providers of international compliance consultancy to the staffing industry. Together we'll bring you news of the latest legal updates that impact the world of work.
Here's what's been happening over the past few months:
During his Autumn Budget the Chancellor announced that the off-payroll rules will be extended to most private sector businesses from April 2020 (small business clients of 50 individuals or less will be excluded). A further consultation on how the reforms will be rolled out in practice will be launched by the government. Many feared the new rules would be in effect from April 2019, however it seems that the many problems associated with the public sector rollout as well as Brexit happening at the end of March next year had an influence in delaying the private sector reform.
The news follow another embarrassing story that hit the headlines in September involving a contractor who was engaged by HMRC. In the recent court case, HMRC had to settle the full amount claimed by one of its own contractors for unpaid holiday after it was determined that she was an employee. Using the CEST (Check Employment Status for Tax) tool, it was concluded the engagement was inside IR35, and that the contractor – a marketing and business development consultant – had to go onto an agency payroll. Following that decision, the contractor claimed that she was therefore an agency worker under the regulations and, as such, entitled to holiday pay and to the same entitlement as comparable HMRC employees. This case has once again highlighted the complexities surrounding employment status as well as the unfairness associated with the taxation of contractors as employees without granting them any employment rights or benefits, something the government is still to address.
New regulations on flexible working time
The new working hours regulation came into effect on 1 September 2018, increasing maximum daily working hours from 10 to 12 and from 50 to 60 hours per week. Overtime hours exceeding 10 hours a day or 50 hours a week are referred to as special overtime and are subject to the following:
These overtime hours are voluntary in nature, therefore the employee may refuse to work these hours without having to provide any reasons, and they are to be protected from discrimination or being served noticed due to their refusal;
The compensation for the special overtime is to be chosen by the employee – monetary remuneration or time off in lieu.
The new regulations also provide exceptions from working time provisions to employees with significant autonomous decision-making authority, and introduces a new exception for work on weekends and public holidays, among other changes.
The Chinese authorities have announced a series of changes that affect employment in country, and here we highlight two of them.
Residents of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (HMT Residents) are no longer required to obtain a work permit in order to work in mainland China following a new nationwide policy announced in the summer. Effective from 1 September 2018, a residence permit (Mainland Residence Card) will have to be obtained instead. Eligibility is based on residence in mainland China for more than 6 months and either: a) having a stable job; b) a legitimate and stable residence, or c) an education course that is attended continuously. While this will enable companies to hire HMT employees more easily, and the workers will receive extra benefits, there are still grey areas, especially regarding employer and employee obligations under the new scheme. Employers are therefore advised to obtain further clarification before proceeding with the hiring of new HMT residents to avoid exposure to risks.
Another reform plan that should be noted relates to the collection of social insurance contributions. Up to now local governments have been able to determine who would collect such contributions – whether the local tax authority or the local social insurance authority. The challenge has been that the local social insurance authority does not have access to employee salary information, consequently many companies have been underpaying social insurance contributions. According to the plan announced in July, from 1 January 2019 the local tax authorities will be responsible for collecting all social insurance contributions across the country – it is hoped that by having an uniform approach the level of compliance will increase.
Right to disconnect compensation
Back in August 2018 the French Labour Court awarded €7,500 to an employee who had exceeded her statutory maximum working hours by sending and receiving work-related emails outside normal work hours. According to the Court, the employer failed to monitor and manage her work pattern as well as keep appropriate records of her working hours – therefore allowing the employee to work excessively, in breach of the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997.
While the award amount may not have been significant, employers should not ignore the fact that not only France has introduced the Right to Disconnect law, but similar approaches have been adopted in Germany and Italy; a similar bill was also proposed in New York earlier this year. Not only should employers consider the employees' right to disconnect, but also ensure that correct records are being kept and, when excessive hours are being worked, this situation should not simply be allowed to continue, but, instead, be addressed accordingly.
Draft Data Protection Bill
The government of India proposed a draft data protection bill, but there are fears it has serious implications for technology and digital services companies that do business in the country. One of the main concerns is that the new law may require firms to store at least one serving copy of personal data on a server or data centre located in India. The bill would also allow the processing of personal data in the interest of the security of the state, if authorised, as well as for prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of any offence or any other contravention of law, which could represent a threat to the right to privacy considering the weak safeguards currently in place. Finally, the bill creates a regulatory structure that is under significant control of the central government, which translates as an uncomfortable insufficient level of independence.
The Bill's provisions suggest a close alignment to positions taken in the GDPR adopted by the EU in May 2018, however critics say that is not enough and that the lack of clarity in some areas and the concerns highlighted above should be addressed by the Indian government prior to passing the Bill.
New rules for address registration by foreign employees
As of the beginning of July 2018 foreign employees are not allowed to register with migration authorities at the address of their employer's office anymore, unless that is the actual address where they reside. The address of the dwelling or hotel where the foreign citizen actually lives in Russia is the one to be registered – with the process being performed by the hosting party, that is, the owner of the dwelling or the hotel. In case the owner of the dwelling is also a foreign citizen, he or she can only carry out the registration if he/she is a residence permit holder. Those who are categorised as highly qualified foreign specialist can act as hosts for members of their own families.
Failure to comply with the rules can result in an administrative fine of up to 7000 rubles, or even worse, the deportation of the foreign worker.
Ryanair pilot was employee not contractor
At the beginning of September a Spanish judge ruled that a former Ryanair pilot should have been considered an employee and not an independent contractor. The same lawyer that supported the former pilot in this first case has confirmed he is preparing lawsuits for other pilots, also engaged by the airline, for allegedly violating the Spanish labour and tax laws. Back in August a collective lawsuit was filed by the pilots' union (Sepla) in the High Court against the company over contracts.
At the end of September the airline had to cancel 250 flights due to pilots and cabin crew staging a 24-hour walkout in six European countries – while pay was also a contributing factor to the protest, the biggest dispute is over working conditions and the fact that Ryanair engages their workers under Irish contracts and subject to Irish legislation instead of their own countries' labour laws.
