Dropbox and Xero: What does their partnership mean for enterprises?
Cloud computing giant Dropbox and New Zealand-based cloud accounting software company Xero announced a partnership at the end of June. According to The Australian Financial Review, the companies are hoping the alliance will serve to further assist small businesses and may end up impacting the cloud services market as well as accounting. Small business productivity, workflow and file sharing will likely become easier for Australian users of the software as a result of the partnership.
Dropbox is a software-as-a-service cloud offering. According to Forbes contributor Louis Columbus, global revenues for SaaS cloud computing will reach $106 billion in 2016, a 21 percent increase over projected numbers from 2015. Dropbox's service was first released in 2008 in order to provide an easy cloud storage and file-sharing platform to consumers and small businesses. The partnership with Xero serves to further the company's goal of moving more of its customers to its paid services.
"We have 8 million users in Australia, so we have a very strong brand locally, but our biggest challenge is getting businesses to understand that we also have a grown-up business product that has all the necessary controls for numerous users and collaboration," said Charlie Wood, Dropbox's manager for Australia and New Zealand.
In pursuing this goal, Dropbox hopes to cater to small businesses with new offerings and applications that will be released later this year as a result of the alliance with Xero.
Cloud-based accounting software can provide advantages over traditional software or paper records.
The partnership between the two cloud computing giants only points to more room to grow within the cloud computing industry. Xero sees major potential in the cloud accounting field, and the alliance with Dropbox will allow the company to realize this potential by offering updated services to a wider range of customers across Australia.
The partnership could have an effect on companies in the U.S. and elsewhere. The benefits of cloud computing can be realized by small businesses and enterprises alike around the world when using cloud-based accounting software specifically designed for the cloud. Those can include easy file sharing, more up-to-date information and inexpensive updates, according to the accounting software company's website.
The companies see potential for their alliance to impact small and medium-sized businesses, but what does this mean for the future of enterprise cloud computing? Dropbox and Xero are well-suited to small businesses looking to simplify their computing processes and move more workflows and data to the cloud. However, larger enterprises would still be better suited with an infrastructure provider experienced in providing data center services to bigger clients.

Soglin announces 2019 operating budget, includes increased funds for mental health services, police
Proposed Budget also includes $100,000 in transitional funding for Kajsiab House
by Parker Schorr · Oct 3, 2018 Share Tweet
Dana Kampa/The Badger Herald
Mayor Paul Soglin presented his final operating budget as mayor Wednesday which included increasing funds in 2019 for mental health services, immigration lawyers and police.
The proposed budget is $332 million, a 5.5 percent increase from 2018's operating budget.
The budget was balanced by a 6 percent reduction in the city's contribution toward health insurance premiums after premiums dropped in price by 16 percent, an increase in the city's investment earnings and an increase in other general fund revenues.
The budget includes $100,000 in transitional funding for Kajsiab House, a mental health center for local Hmong community members, after Journey Mental Health Center discontinued its funding in September due to lack of funds. These funds are in addition to the $40,000 recently promised by City Council.
"I just couldn't bear the thought that this program would come to an end and that these folks would be left to fend for themselves," Soglin said.
City Council approves funding for Kajsiab House after emotional hearingThe Hmong community and Madison locals joined in support of amending the resolution to transfer funds from the Contingent Reserve Read…
Additionally, Soglin added $300,000 to the existing Peer Support community services, a program that works to reduce gun violence and the impact and trauma of violence on communities in Madison.
The Council turned down Soglin's attempt to increase funding for the program last year, but he hopes they will decide differently this time around.
Soglin said he was certain the program has been "critical" in reducing gun violence. Madison reached its highest homicide rate in 2017 with 11 homicides, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. Since the program was implemented in August of last year, he said the city has only suffered two homicides.
"I want to see us take it to a new level where we're not just responding to violence and preventing retaliation, but we're actually building connections into employment, into housing and into healthy environmental for all," Soglin said.
Following the arrests of 83 people by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in late September, Soglin added $100,000 to the city's immigration legal support and assistance contract.
Poll finds Wisconsinites favor path-to-citizenship, stronger gun regulationsAhead of upcoming elections for state and federal offices, poll results from the Marquette University Law School highlighted favorability ratings Read…
The budget also includes $150,000 over the next two years for the decennial census. Soglin stressed the importance of a complete and accurate census since billions of dollars of funding are at stake. As census experts worry the Trump administration is sabotaging the process, Soglin said it is up to cities to ensure everyone is counted by the census — especially communities of color and immigrants.
Police departments will receive increased funding next year as well, including $1.1 million for a pre-service academy to meet increased turnover for retiring police officers, an expanded Special Victims Unit that will focus on investigation human trafficking and crimes against children, and funds to equip police field staff with smartphones, among other things.
Though the budget includes funding for a new public information officer who will work to improve public outreach efforts related to engineering activities, including severe weather events, the budget was formulated before this summer's severe flooding, Soglin said. Further funding to prevent future flooding and lower Lake Mendota's water levels will likely be included in 2020's budget, he added.
New budget proposal aims to help UW students prepare for Wisconsin workforceThe University of Wisconsin Board of Regents recently approved an operating budget request for $107.5 million of state funds. The Read…
To expand homeownership to more people in Madison, the city included $20,000 for homeownership, credit building and money management classes. Soglin said he hopes the private sector — namely banks and credit unions — will contribute their own funds for similar affordable housing initiatives.
Soglin said fiscal constraints unfortunately kept him from increasing funding for a myriad of important things, including further funding for peer services, community centers, affordable housing, mental health, substance abuse, electric vehicles, solar energy and improved transportation system.
Overall, Soglin hopes the budget will pass with little contention.
"I think it's a good budget proposal and I just want to see it adopted with as little friction as possible," Soglin said.
The Finance Committee will vote on the proposed budget Oct. 22. If approved, it will head to City Council mid-November.

Weapons of Choice: Ultracycling gear recommendations
Check out my new weapon -- weapon of choice.
-Fatboy Slim
On Saturday, I completed a 260-mile brevet with about 18,000 feet of climbing; all told, it took just under 20 hours, making it both the longest one-day ride I've ever done and the one with the most climbing. I'm putting the story together, but I wanted first to discuss some of the gear I used during the event. Much of this may also be very useful beyond the ultracycling context.
Garmin's new Edge 810
One thing I've found to be invaluable is Garmin's line of GPS cycling computers with street-level maps. On some level these are a luxury: it's certainly possible to get by with a cue sheet and simpler device. But a major part of the game in ultracycling is making things as foolproof as they can be, and the new Garmin Edge 810 offers a number of critical advantages over the traditional cue sheet. First, it is extremely easy to upload routes and receive prompted turn-by-turn directions. When backstopped with a cue sheet, this method is pretty much infallible, and I love the "distance to next turn" field, something a cue sheet can't provide. There's a related, but less-advertised, benefit to riding with a GPS, in that the screen automatically zooms appropriately to your speed. This means that, when you're bombing down an unfamiliar descent, a split-second glance down will show the shape of the road for the 1/2 mile or so in front of you. I found this capability gave me considerably more confidence about laying off the brakes and making the most of my momentum. A related ability is the scrolling elevation profile: when you upload a route, the GPS cross-references the upcoming roads with a topographical map, meaning that you can easily see what the next few miles of road have in store. If you see that a hill is only a minor blip, there's no reason not to hoof it over with some effort, but a spike going off the top of the screen is very effective in mellowing one out for a few minutes.
The mapping and elevation features aren't unique to the Garmin 810; they're also available on the older, and slightly cheaper, Garmin 800. But the 810 does add a couple of features that the 800 lacks, in particular the LiveTrack system. LiveTrack uses Bluetooth to connect the GPS unit with your cell phone, and then leverages the cell's signal to upload coordinates and other information to a realtime tracking website. You can then email the link to that website to anyone you want, or post it to Facebook; when the recipient clicks the link, he or she will see your current location (refreshed each minute), and also the ground you've covered. Here's what mine looked like at mile 213 of Saturday's ride:
LiveTrack feature
Because I'd been on the road so long, LiveTrack had broken up my route into 5-mile segments, and it showed where I was down to the minute. The blue bar at the bottom, labeled "graphs," opens to reveal realtime stats on speed, heart rate, power, cadence, and whatever else you choose. In the picture below, mine shows a chart of speed imposed on an elevation profile. (Had I been moving at the time, it also would have showed current speed, etc.)
LiveTrack with performance metrics
LiveTrack is an extremely useful tool not only for long rides like this, where it acts as a safety backstop and lets people check in on you from time to time, but it can also be a killer app for spectators at races. All you need to do is start the LiveTrack application before the race, start your computer with the Autopause function enabled, and stuff your cellphone somewhere on the bike, perhaps alongside the spare tube. Email the link to spectators, and they'll be able to tell where you are every minute and be ready when you zip by. No more missing people as they blow by on the bike, and no standing around unnecessarily. It's great stuff. In my case, I emailed the link to a few friends and also posted it, just as a precaution.
I also installed an App on my iPhone that is similarly useful: Find My Friends. It is a terrific stalking tool that allows anyone you choose to ping your phone's location, which is then superimposed on an extremely detailed street or satellite map. It appears accurate to within a few meters, and is yet another way for people to find you should the need arise -- valuable peace of mind when you're riding in remote locations after dark. I also think that Find My Friends could be a very useful tool for anyone sagging a group ride. You'll never be forced to set off in search of the missing cyclist! Note that you can turn the app on and off with a tap of a button, so there's no need to worry about privacy unless you want to.
A pretty obvious question: with Find my Friends, is there any need for LiveTrack? It depends. Find My Friends shows only a location; it provides no breadcrumb trail or performance metrics. It also doesn't provide a webpage link that's constantly viewable by anyone -- it requires much more micromanagement. So LiveTrack does provide additional value, although the two apps are redundant to some extent.
Mophie Juicepack Powerstation Duo
If there's a downside to this reliance on technology, it's that one needs to power the various devices. The Garmin 810 has a battery life about 15 hours, which is more than plenty for most purposes. But it wasn't going to be enough for this ride, and the 15-hour figure itself is wildly optimistic in that LiveTrack's bluetooth connection with the cell phone drains battery life like wildfire, and using the backlight at night is also a massive burden. So I needed a way to recharge both the iPhone and the Garmin on the fly, and the perfect solution was a gadget I'd picked up to recharge my iPad on an overseas flight: the Mophie Juicepack Powerstation Duo. This thing is amazing: it's compact, has two USB ports that allow the recharging of multiple devices at once (including rechargeable lights), and its massive 6000 mAh capacity is more than enough to get through the day. By way of comparison, an iPhone 5 battery is rated at 1440 mAh, and the Garmin Edge 810 is 1100 mAh. The Juicepack can recharge both devices twice-over, with room to spare. It's an outstanding insurance policy. If you bring a wall-to-USB plug to recharge the Juicepack during stops, you can probably keep riding close to indefinitely.
Exposure Joystick mk7
Next up on the new-gadget train was a new helmet light: the Exposure Light Joystick mk7. This is by far the most elegant light I've ever used, and any lights I get in the future will be from Exposure -- it was that impressive. These lights aren't cheap, but when you're riding fast on dark roads at night, the reassurance is invaluable. The Joystick has an integrated, rechargeable battery, and puts out a maximum 400 lumens despite having a weight of only 87 grams (about 1/5 pound). Even on the lowest power setting -- which lasts a whopping 10 hours -- it's more than bright enough to light the way on most roads. The small touches are great as well: the light simply clips on and off, so that you don't need to have it weighing down your head all day (not that it weighs much), and it has a "smart port" in the back that, in addition to recharging the light, doubles as a power source for various accessories, such as a flashing rear red light that attaches to the back of the joystick, or a backup battery that piggybacks on top of it. As a year-round bike commuter, I've become firmly convinced that helmet mounted lights are the way to go if you don't mind a bit of weight on the head: having the light go where you're looking is crucial. Oh yeah: the Mophie Juicepack can recharge this, too: its battery capacity is 2900 mAh.
Rounding out the new equipment purchases for this ride is... a handlebar bag. I'd long held out against using these despite their popularity among randonneurs, as I knew them to be about as aerodynamic as a barn door, they aren't light, and they don't exactly scream performance. Having said that, after this ride, I'm kind of in love with mine. I opted for the Arkel Small Handlebar Bag. It's waterproof, holds a cue sheet and cell phone right in front of you, and allows easy in-ride access to pretty much anything you could want: food, chamois cream, batteries, sunscreen, control card, or whatever. The weight is noticeable, but when the rides get this long, for me it stops being about speed and starts being about ensuring that my nutrition is on track, I don't lose my control card (as happened last June), that the cue sheet is readily at hand, and so forth. I'm a fan.
A rear bag is also very valuable, especially when the temperature's expected to vary widely during the ride. It's great to have a place to stash jackets, arm/leg warmers, gloves, caps, and that sort of thing. My choice is again by Arkel: the Tailrider Trunk Bag. It's compact, waterproof, sturdy, and expands to hold an amazing amount of stuff. There's a convenient loop on the back onto which one can clip a couple of lights, it's easy to remove and carry, and in general it's a great piece of kit.
Of course, one also needs a rack to hold it. Topeak makes a common one, but I didn't care for it when I tried it: the single-beam clamp mechanism causes it to sway intolerably. I'm a much bigger fan of Arkel's own Randonneur rack, which clamps to the seat rails as well as the seat post. The whole system looks like this:
Arkel rack and tailrider bag
Finally, although I've mentioned them before, I've come to think that two pieces of equipment are indispensable for all-day rides. First, I've become a huge believer in tubeless road tires. I've now been riding my Hutchinsons for about 1.5 years, and they're about ready to be changed. In that time, I've had exactly zero flats. Equally important, tubeless tires can and should be run at about 90 psi, as opposed to 100-110 psi for regular road tires, and that lower pressure makes all the difference in soaking up road imperfections and smoothing out the ride. It feels like a Cadillac rolling down the road. And, with the imminent release of Hutchinson's Secteur 28 tubeless tire, which is 28 mm wide, the ride will be all the better.
Arm coolers in action at Mountains of Misery
Second, I think anyone who's not riding in arm coolers is missing out. I use the Zoots, which provide warmth when it's chilly and reflect the sun when it's hot. UV ray protection aside, it's amazing how much less tired you'll be at the end of a long, hot afternoon when you're not getting baked, and they keep the skin cooler as well. No need to take them off: just put them on and forget they're there until you're done with the ride.
Next up: the epic ride itself!
Labels: Functional finds
Plus One for the Arkel stuff. The trunk bag and rack have worked well for me. I also saw the handlebar bag on the Suffolk to Skippers ride and was really impressed with the design. Someone described the Arkel stuff to me as "that feeling when you using something and it is like the designer has been sitting inside your head."

The Juicepack appeared every bit as elegant as you claim. I went to Amazon in search of something slightly smaller.
There's this: http://www.amazon.com/Powered-Yubi-Power-YP520A-External/dp/B009SAG02A/ref=pd_sim_sbs_kinh_4
Weighs less, costs less, and has more reserve. I bought one.
And this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005X1Y7I2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A294P4X9EWVXLJ
Veritably tiny at 76g with plenty of charge for the Garmin on most rides. I bought two.
On a 1200K, two tiny 2600mAh chargers will be plenty (one on the bike, one in the drop bag). The larger one probably goes in my briefcase for traveling. Many thanks for the idea and the demonstration.
Correction: my Yubi selection does not have more reserve than the 6000 mAh Juicepack. It does have more than the smaller 4000 mAh Juicepack that I nearly bought. Apologies for the error.

OK, you sold me on the Arkel tailrider. I've got the Topeak system right now, and the swaying of the beam drives me crazy. And it's heavy. $200 for the rack + bag isn't cheap, but I'm pretty sure on both a $$/gram and a $$/sanity basis it's a lot cheaper than some other changes I've made.
My partner and i found this web site in addition to I've got benefited a lot. From this internet site I really hope you can tummy the cost of good quality in addition to dighasthayi power packs. While using backup battery, ups battery, 12v battery, cctv camera, ip camera can be available in all sorts connected with power packs. To learn more in relation to their services, sense absolve to stop by their internet site. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E8CDOFY/.

Epic Ride Recap: Leesburg 400k


The primary purpose of The Last Lincoln Conspirator is to provide an account of the flight, capture, and trial of John Surratt, an alleged co-conspirator in the Lincoln assassination and son of Mary Surratt, convicted, probably wrongfully, and executed for participating in the plot. And Jampoler, a retired U.S. Navy captain and author of several books, mostly on naval history (Horrible Shipwreck!, etc.) has given us a very satisfactory, comprehensive look at Surratt's life in considerable detail, including, of course, his links to the assassination conspiracy, as well as his flight, capture, trial, and acquittal in considerable detail. However, Jampoler doesn'tt stop there, for The Last Lincoln Conspirator is very rich work.
While covering Surrat's and flight, Jampoler also gives the reader an interesting account of the Papal Zouaves, in which the fugitive served for a time, as well as short discussions of Confederate "special operations", international cooperation in criminal pursuit, and several word portraits of interesting characters, such as Pope Pius IX and the American soldier-diplomat Rufus King, while touching upon many aspects of life and society in mid-nineteenth century America that are today largely forgotten, such as the status of America's Catholics in the mid-nineteenth century, viewed with suspicion, and even outright bigotry, by their largely Protestant fellow-citizens.
An essential read for those interested in Lincoln and the assassination conspiracy, The Last Lincoln Conspirator will also be of value to anyone curious about society in the mid-1800s.

Most of us want to be seen in our sneakers, but the need to be seen can go beyond the ego boost and actually keep us safe. Hi-Vis clothing has become part of the fabric of life as roadside workers, cyclists, transportation workers, ravers and crossing guards surround us from day to day (okay, ravers may be hard to spot during daylight hours). For those who enjoy the tranquillity of a night time pavement pounding session, the ability to stand out can be a lifesaver – what better way to stay visible than with reflective shoes?
You'll hear 3M thrown around the sneakersphere in reference to any little accents on your shoes with reflective properties, it's become a bit of a catchall in the vernacular. In actual fact, 3M is the name of a company. Going all the way back to 1902 it was originally named Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co. and was set up to mine a mineral called corundum, which was to be used in the manufacture of grinding wheels. Ultimately, the original mission was unsuccessful, so after a few changes to the corporate structure they ended up making sandpaper. As momentum started to build, the managers of the company encouraged the employees to innovate and develop new products – some of their early developments include masking tape, scotch tape and eventually the Post-it note. To this day employees are encourage to spend around fifteen percent of their time working on the personal projects that interest them.
In the early 1940s the work of the company was diverted into producing materials for the war effort, as was the case with most manufacturers during the period. Following their stint on the home front, 3M developed their first reflective tech, named Schotchlite. It came in the form of a retroreflective sheeting and was originally used for highway markings.
The surface of Schotchlite is covered in tiny glass beads, these can collect light from any angle and reflect it in back in that exact same direction. To amp up the brightness the rear half of each bead is covered with a metallic substance, for a little extra shine. The terms 'cat's eye' is used to describe the structure of the spheres, their lens and reflective surface mimicking the lens and tapetum lucidum, which work in tandem to increase the amount of light that reaches the animal's retina.

In a modern day context, 3M Scotchlite refers to a whole range of reflective products. Although the glass bead model is still the most common, there are also varieties that use man-made prismatic structures – you can see these looking up close at a bicycle's reflector – which work in a similar way but can be adjusted to reflect in different directions.
The notion of high visibility clothing didn't come around until the mid 60s, when in 1964 the Scottish Region of British Railways issued orange jackets to help engineers spot track workers, nicknamed 'fire-flies'. The increased speeds of electric trains made it hard for engineers to react once they'd spotted workers on the line. Upon trial, the clothing proved to be successful and workers could be spotted up to half a mile away. With the effectiveness of high visibility clothing proven, it was only a matter of time before it moved beyond bright colours to explore nocturnal possibilities.
The sneaker industry had been using various methods to increase the visibility of noctivagant runners since the early 70s. The most common place for 3M on early runners was on the heel counter, seen on Saucony Jazz models from 1979 and New Balance models from the early 80s, such as the 990 and 576. There was also plenty of silver leather, leading to some wild looking shoes – take the adidas Rising Star for example – although it didn't have quiet the same effect. As the 80s moved on it became common to see retroreflective materials on running shoes. As the Jumpan came to prominence, 3M had its first big appearance on the ball-court in 1990 with the Air Jordan 5. After the Jay became an icon with its bold reflective tongue, 3M started to take centre stage as shoes started to have recognisable night time features – any decent Air Max fiend will recognise the wavy line of an Air Max 97 by the light of a street lamp.
These days there are retroreflective elements on most running shoes while the lifestyle designers have utilised it to make eye-watering statements on some crazy designs. With the ability to print over the reflective surfaces you can't always notice it a first glance, as with Futura's Skyfall collection with Converse, but you'll know it when you shine a light on things. Now that there's always a camera around the reflective properties can take on a whole new life – shoes from adidas' recent Xeno range have a single colour upper that photographs in a rainbow of reflected light.

Hawthorn is a common thorny shrub that grows throughout the world. Its berries, leaves, and flowers have been used as a natural remedy to treat heart disease as far back as the first century.
Studies show that hawthorn contains many antioxidants that may be beneficial to the heart. Hawthorn may help improve blood circulation, dilate blood vessels, and protect the vessels from damage.
Hawthorn is used to protect against heart disease and help maintain blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Evidence also suggests hawthorn can improve a person's ability to exercise following heart failure.
Research shows the herb alleviates symptoms of heart disease such as fatigue and shortness of breath. Conditions associated with heart failure including palpitations and breathing issues decreased dramatically in patients taking a hawthorn supplement for two years.
Although more research is needed, studies reveal that hawthorn can help relieve chest pain (angina), which is caused by low blood flow to the heart.

Q: Introduction to DataContext and DataSet Can anyone help me understand DataContext and DataSet ? I am leaning Entity Framework and I need to clear this concepts in my mind properly.
I tried to read in the book, read some articles but all the language there was so complex, can anyone explain me these terms using simple words with example?
Also if you can provide me the link of any video tutorials that could help me.
Thanks.

A: DbContext and DbSet are two classes that when you use EF code first approach, you can work with them.
Using Entity Framework you can simply define a mapping between your entities and tables.
In simple words, you can imagine DbContext as an In-Memory database, and DataSets as In-Memory tables(that initially are empty), you can imagine entity objects as rows of your tables in your database, too:

In your application you can query DbSets or do CUD(Creat,Update,Delete) operations on them instead direct access to your database and tables. You could execute multiple CRUD operations on DbSets, in simple database transaction, too.

Home Debt Solutions BlogCollection Agencies Who Are These Bill Collectors Calling Me?
You may be getting phone calls demanding payment on your overdue account. Bill collectors might be calling you on your cellphone. They might also be calling your landline at home. In some cases, they might even be calling you at your workplace.
Collection calls can be very upsetting. Most people dread receiving these collection calls. Bill collectors are often very aggressive and they typically demand a payment of a certain amount of money before a particular day. In some instances, collection calls at a person's workplace can become a real problem. They may become a source of embarrassment and in some cases, it might contribute to the loss of employment.
Understanding who the person is on the other end of the phone, who they may represent and what they may tell you is often the first step in putting you in charge of dealing with collection calls.
I am very familiar with collection calls. For twelve years I worked as a collection lawyer for four of the ten largest collection agencies operating in Canada. My office was located on the collection floor at these collection agencies. I would open the door to my office and there would be hundreds of collectors hard at work. I would later work four years as a consumer lawyer representing consumers struggling to pay their bills. I have listened to hundreds of Canadians on the phone share a traumatic experience about dealing with a bill collector who has demanded payment of an outstanding account. Based on this experience, I'm going to give you an overview of how debt collectors work.
If you have an account that you have not paid for less than six months, it's likely that the bill collector calling you is from the in-house collection department at your creditor's office. If your account is 30 to 90 days overdue, the bill collector calling you might be relatively civil towards you. If, however, your account is closer to five or six months overdue, then then the bill collector's tone will likely be much more aggressive.
Your job is to stay calm and negotiate the terms that you need. If you need time to catch up, ask for time and negotiate a repayment plan that you can afford. Since at this early stage it is your creditor calling, they will likely be open to discussion, but will still be looking for full payment.
Arrange to sue your outstanding account.
In the majority of instances where an account becomes six months overdue, the account is forwarded to a collection agency. The collection agency is working on a commission or a contingency basis. Therefore, a collection agency does not receive a penny from its creditor-client unless it obtains a payment from you. This explains why the collector from a collection agency calling you is very assertive about receiving a payment from you.
Under Ontario law, a creditor is only permitted to place your account for collections with one collection agency at a time. Creditors do, however, place unpaid accounts with a particular collection agency for a period of time, then recall the account, after which they place the account with a different collection agency.
Demanding payment from a consumer using collection calls.
Suing consumers is not a core function of collection agencies.
If you are concerned about being sued, then you might actually take some comfort in the fact that you are receiving collection calls. If a creditor wanted to sue you, they would typically forward your account to a law firm or a paralegal and you likely would not be receiving any collection calls.
Today, there is a trend towards law firms doing some of the same work we would normally associate with that of a collection agency. This means that you might be getting a collection call from someone who informs you that they are calling you from a law firm. The job description of the person calling you might be virtually identical to a collector at a collection agency; the only difference is that this individual's employer is a law firm and not a collection agency. It's important to know that just because they are a law firm, that doesn't mean they have any more rights when collecting on an account than any other collection agency.
Sometimes, a creditor might decide to sell your unpaid account – together with thousands, tens of thousands, or possibly hundreds of thousands of other unpaid accounts – to a debt buyer. The company buying your unpaid account steps into the shoes of your original creditor. Some unpaid accounts might even be sold more than once.
Collection Agencies: The primary business of collection agencies is collecting monies owed to others. A collection agency might also choose to purchase debts as a secondary line of business.
Dedicated Debt Buyers: A dedicated debt buyer does not collect debts on behalf of others. A dedicated debt buyer is in the business of purchasing debts.
Dedicated debt buyers have several options when it comes to collecting their purchased debt. It is common for dedicated debt buyers to employ their own collectors and operate an in-house collection department. Dedicated debt buyers might also choose to forward an unpaid account to a collection agency on a commission basis.
I recently spoke to a Kitchener resident who last made a payment on her BMO Mastercard about four years ago. Originally, she was receiving phone calls from the in-house collection department at the bank. Recently, she received a collection letter from a collection agency by the name of CCL Financial Inc. In this collection notice from CCL Financial Inc., she was informed that her unpaid BMO Mastercard account had been sold to a firm by the name of Preferred Credit Resources Limited.
If you receive a collection call about a debt that has been sold, you should ask the bill collector to send you a collection letter confirming that the debt has been purchased.
Who is the person on the phone demanding a payment from me?
I describe the position of collector as a commission sales position. Their job is to convince you to pay your outstanding account. It is very common for bill collectors to be paid a base salary with an opportunity to earn more depending upon their success collecting monies in a particular month. Collectors who do not meet their monthly quota are typically shown the door.
In Ontario, collectors employed by a collection agency must be at least 18 years of age. I know collectors who have criminal records. I also know collectors who have declared personal bankruptcy. There are no educational requirements whatsoever for being a collector. A person does not have to pass any examination to become a collector.
When I did collection work, I would often contact a collection agency and offer to collect 200 accounts, which they had not been able to collect, to prove my abilities at collecting monies. I can recall one instance where a collection agency near Burlington gave me 200 unpaid accounts to collect. You can imagine their embarrassment when I advised them that one of the 200 unpaid accounts was one of their own collectors.
No one should feel intimidated by a bill collector.

Home > "Move-Away" Case
The "Move-Away" Case
| Buy Now | Website | Testimonials | Book Reviews |
Parents who share custody of their children face a difficult dilemma when one parent wants to relocate or move away to a relatively distant location thereby effecting a Move-Away Case. Recent California	cases indicate that	in custody situations, if one parent is functionally the primary parent and the children have been living primarily with that parent, that parent is likely to be permitted by the courts to move away and take the children along, even if he or she agreed earlier not to move away or relocate.
California Family Code section 7501 provides, "A parent entitled to the custody of a child has a right to change the residence of the child, subject to the power of the court to restrain a removal that would prejudice the rights or welfare of the child."
Although this statute appears to be straightforward, the interpretation of it has not been. The right of a custodial parent to move away with a minor child when doing so would adversely affect the noncustodial parent's visitation has been the subject of many diverse and contradictory appellate decisions over the last decade. Many courts approved restrictions on the parent's right to move away or relocate with the child and imposed burdens such as proving that move away was "necessary" or "expedient, essential or imperative." Some devised compound tests	for move away cases to guide the trial courts in making the determination. Others, on the other hand, simply held that the custodial parent was presumptively entitled to move away.
When there appears to be a shared custody or joint physical custody arrangement, where the child spends a significant amount of time with each parent, an exception can be raised in a move away case, known as the "footnote 12" exception to Burgess (see Marriage of Burgess). In "footnote 12" of the Burgess decision the court held that where there is a shared custody	relationship the court would have to make a new, or "de novo," determination regarding custody based upon the best interests of the child.
Regarding notice of in a relocation or move away case, California Family Code Section 3024 states, "In making an order for custody, if the court does not consider it inappropriate, the court may specify that a parent shall notify the other parent if the parent plans to change the residence of the child for more than 30 days, unless there is prior written agreement to the removal. The notice shall be given before the contemplated move, by mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the last known address of the parent to be notified. A copy of the notice shall also be sent to that parent's counsel of record. To the extent feasible, the notice shall be provided within a minimum of 45 days before the proposed change of residence so as to allow time for mediation of a new agreement concerning custody. This section does not affect orders made before January 1, 1989."
The following chronology of California move-away case summaries are examples of how the California courts have ruled on "move-away" cases in the past and are provided for informational and educational purposes only. The information provided should not be construed or substituted for legal advice on your move away case. Each move away case must be analyzed on a case by case basis on its own set of facts. For legal advice about move-aways or your particulare move away case, you would be wise to consult a family law attorney in your jurisdiction who has experience and demonstrated success with representing clients on move away cases.
Chronology of Important "Move-Away" Cases in California
Year Case Findings
1976 Marriage of Ciganovich (1976) 61 Cal.App.3d 289 If the purpose of the move is to frustrate or deny visitation, then the move is not in the child's best interest.
1979 Marriage of Carney (1979) 24 Cal.3d 725 The court first determines whether there has been a change of circumstances, then whether a change of custody is necessary or desirable for the child's best interest.
1986 Burchard v. Garay (1986) 42 Cal.3d 531 , 229 Cal.Rptr. 800; 724 P.2d 486 If the custody arrangement is the result of a prior court order, it is presumed the existing order is in the child's best interest.
1986 Marriage of Rosson (1986) 178 Cal.App.3d 1094 , 224 Cal.Rptr. 250 The right to frequent and continuing contact with a child by the parent is an element in determining custody and visitation consistent with the child's best interest.
1990 In re Marriage of Fingert (1990) 221 Cal.App.3d 1575, 271 Cal.Rptr. 389 A parent had been ordered to move to another county as a condition of continued custody of a child.
1991 Marriage of Carlson (1991) 229 Cal.App.3d 1330 , 280 Cal.Rptr. 840 The loss of the practical ability to visit with the child is an important and relevant factor in determining whether a move is in the child's best interest.
1992 Marriage of McGinnis (1992) 7 Cal.App.4th 473, 479 The non-custodial parent's (NCP's) ability to exercise visitation is an important, but not the only, factor in determining the child's best interest.
1993 In re Marriage of Roe (1993) 18 Cal.App.4th 1483 , 23 Cal.Rptr.2d 295 The custodial parent seeking to relocate with a minor child must establish that move is "necessary" and in child's "best interest".
1994 Marriage of Battenburg (1994) 28 Cal.App.4th 1338, 1345 Where there is pre-existing and successful shared parenting arrangement, the burden of proof is on the moving party to show that the move is necessary, expedient, and imperative.
1994 In re Marriage of Selzer (1994) (supra) , 29 Cal. App. 4th 637 The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's determination that the custodial parent's decision to move from Ukiah to Santa Rosa--a one-hour commuting distance-- did not require a change in physical custody
1996 Marriage of Burgess (1996) 13 Cal.4th 25, 51 Cal.Rptr.2d 444, 913 P.2d 473 After a joint custody determination based on the child's best interest, the moving parent need not demonstrate that the move is necessary as a condition of maintaining custody. However, when parents have joint physical custody, the trial court must determine de novo what arrangement for primary custody is in the child's best interest, qualified as "footnote 12" for a different analysis.
1996 Brody v. Kroll (1996) 45 CA4th 1732, 53 CR2d 280 When courts determined that the unmarried parents were sharing joint physical custody of a young child and mother wanted to move to Connecticut for a job opportunity, District Court of appeal held that the burden of proof fell on the mother to prove the move was in the child's best interest [first case to apply principles set forth by Burgess].
1996 Cassady v. Signorelli (1996) 49 Cal.App.4th 55, 56 Cal.Rptr.2d 545 A move-away request can be denied if it serves to frustrate the non-custodial parent's (NCP's) right to joint custody and visitation. In the instant case, mother told the court that when she got to Florida, she intended to work as a "parapsychologist". Trial court denied the mother's request, finding that the mother's real reason to move was to frustrate the father's ability to see the child.
1997 In Marriage of Whealon (1997) 53 CA4th 132, 61 CR2d 559 The non-custodial parent (NCP) did not demonstrate a change of circumstance necessary for a change of custody. The amount of time the NCP has with the child has emerged as the pivotal issue in determining who has the legal burden before the court. In the instant case, the father had the child one night a week, alternating weekends and holidays. Court granted mother's request to move to New York where she had a job waiting for her. The court observed that California Family Code Section 7501, enacted in 1993, provides that, "a parent entitled to the custody of a child has a right to change the residence of the child, subject to the power of the court to restrain a removal that would prejudice the rights or welfare of the child.
1997 Ruisi v. Thieriot (1997) 53 Cal.App.4th 1197, 62 Cal.Rptr.2d 766 The court held that, in light of Burgess, the question for the trial court on remand was not whether the custodial parent would be permitted to move; the question was what custody arrangement should be made thereafter.
1998 In re Marriage of Condon (1998) 62 Cal.App.4th 533, 73 Cal.Rptr.2d 33 When moving to a foreign country, the moving parent must demonstrate that the de facto termination of visitation (caused by the large geographical distance) would be in the child's best interest. Further, in granting such a move, the court can require the custodial parent to concede to the jurisdiction of California, post a security bond and order forfeiture of support payments in the even of a violation of the custody order.
1998 In re Marriage of Biallas (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 755, 76 Cal.Rptr.2d 717 It clarified that Burgess applies to stipulated custody arrangements or orders. Also showed that actual timeshare is more important than the existing decree where the two are different.
1998 In re Marriage of Edlund and Hales (1998) 66 Cal.App.4th 1454, 78 Cal.Rptr.2d 671 The court first determines if a move is based on sound reason; then the burden of proof falls on the non-custodial parent (NCP) to demonstrate that the move is not in the child's best interest.
2001 In re Marriage of Williams (2001) 88 Cal. App.4th 808 (2nd Dist. 2001) In this family law move-away case the mother had been a full-time homemaker of four children until she and her husband decided to separate, when she returned to work. When he moved out of the house a few months later, they shared a nanny and alternated custody on a weekly basis for approximately half a year until the custody order was entered. She was awarded custody of two children, who accompanied her to a new marriage in Utah, and custody of the other two children was awarded to their father. The Court of Appeal set the decision aside and returned for consideration of the children's best interests; the trial court had not considered what effect divided custody would have on them.
2001 In re Marriage of Bryant (2001) 91 Cal. App. 4th 789 In an initial custody determination, the Superior Court in the County of Santa Barbara, California, awarded joint legal custody with primary physical custody to the mother (respondent) who intended to move with the children to New Mexico and awarded liberal visitation to appellant father. The father appealed. The trial court did not err in failing to evaluate the reasons for the move, and it satisfied the policy under Cal. Fam. Code § 3020 of assuring frequent and continuing contact by awarding liberal visitation. Having found that the mother was not acting in bad faith and that it was in the best interests of the children for custody to be with her, the trial court was bound to rule as it did.
2002 In re Marriage of Lasich (2002) 99 Cal. App. 4th 702 In an international move-away child custody case, the Superior Court of Sacramento County, California, granted respondent mother's request to move with the parties' minor children from Sacramento County to Barcelona, Spain. Appellant father sought review of the order. Because the mother was the primary physical custodian, the presumption of Cal. Fam. Code § 7501 applied. Thus, the mother was entitled to change the children's residence. The father failed to show relocation would result in detriment to the children.
2002 In re Marriage of Richardson (2002) 102 Cal. App. 4th 941 Now, parents who have less than the equal timeshare that will trigger Burgess footnote 12 and a de novo review have another way to gain that review in a move-away case. Of course, gaining a de novo review is not an automatic guarantee of being able to prevent a move. Before this, the soon-to-be-left-behind parent who lacked the requisite timeshare wasn't able to do much unless he or she could prove that the moving parent had an improper motive or a frivolous purpose for the move. Thanks to Richardson, that parent can seek a full custody evaluation, bring in expert testimony regarding the effect of the move on the child, and present evidence to demonstrate the full nature of his or her relationship with the child. All of that is good news for the non-moving parent. But this case isn't such good news for the moving parent.
2003 In re Marriage of Campos (2003) 108 Cal. App. 4th 839 Second District holds that trial court erred by limiting focus in move-away case to lack of bad-faith motive and by refusing to hold evidentiary hearing to consider detriment to children. This case makes a very important point regarding move-away cases: Lack of a bad-faith motive doesn't automatically mean a move is OK, no matter how much it may have seemed like that was the law from reading recent cases.
2003 LaMusga v. LaMusga (2003) (unpublished; review granted August 28, 2002; Pending in California Supreme) In August 2002, the California Supreme Court voted unanimously to revisit the move-away issue by hearing the LaMusga case, in which a Contra Costa County custodial mother sought to move to Arizona with her two young boys and her new husband. The case has not yet been argued, but it will deal with the First District's reversal of an order that granted primary physical custody to Dad if Mom moved to Ohio, and its remand for the trial court to consider Mom's presumptive right to move and determine whether a custodial change was essential for the children's welfare. In the appellate court's view, the trial court impermissibly focused on the disruption in the father-child relationship from the move, while ignoring the disruption to the mother-child relationship. Dad's petition for review asked the Supremes to review and clarify their Burgess opinion with an eye toward reemphasizing the welfare of the child as a factor in move-away decisions, contending that this aspect has been forgotten while emphasis has been placed on the bad-faith or good-faith motives for a move. LaMusga v. LaMusga is heavily being watched, as this case has the potential for reshaping how move-away cases will be analyzed.
2004 In re Marriage of LaMusga (2004) (No. S107355; California Supreme Court, April 29, 2004) The likely impact of a proposed move on the noncustodial parent's relationship with the children is a relevant factor in determining whether the custodial parent's move would cause detriment to the children, and may be sufficient to justify a change in custody.
2006 In re Marriage of Brown and Yana (2006) (No. S131030; California Supreme Court, February 2, 2006) The California Supreme Court holds that a parent who has sole legal and physical custody does not have the absolute right to move away, but the noncustodial parent is entitled to an evidentiary hearing only after unsuccessful mediation and showing of the move's detrimental effect on the child. The Supreme Court also emphasized that the trial court has wide discretion to grant or deny a hearing to the noncustodial parent, even in the face of a sole-custody order, similar to a trial courts broad discretion to come up with a custody plan that reflects the overall best interests of the children. In move-away cases, such as this one, the "sole-custody" label can still be a powerful blockade to the noncustodial parent's efforts to change custody. A noncustodial parent who wishes to modify custody against a sole-custody order must make a showing of specific detriment to the child, as opposed to generalities, making the burden of proof for a noncustodial parent who wants a custody modification against a sole-custody order extremely high. In re Marriage of Brown and Yana (2006), the father, Anthony, failed to present legally sufficient evidence that the move would be detrimental to his son, Cameron. Although Anthony was given every opportunity to provide specific evidence as to why the move would be detrimental to his son, he provided generalities, as opposed to specifics, and the Supremes agreed with the trial court's denial of an evidentiary hearing and held that the Second District erred by concluding that the lower court should have granted Anthony an evidentiary hearing.
2006 In re Marriage of Seagondollar (2006) (No. G035270; Court of Appeal of the State of California, May 25, 2006) The California Court of Appeals places emphasis on the importance of due process in hearing move away petitions. The court of appeals criticized the trial court's failure to give the father, Timothy, a meaningful opportunity to be heard on the change in custody and relocation decision stating, "Virtually from start to finish, the trial court handling this matter failed to follow or evenly apply the rules and procedures governing family law matters and, by failing to do so, denied Timothy the opportunity to be meaningfully heard. The rules of procedure for reaching family law decisions--contained in the Family Code, the Code of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Court, and local court rules--are not mere suggestions. The rules of procedure are commands which ensure fairness by their enforcement." {Slip Opn. Page 3}
Oppose SB 1482 - Another Harmful Move-Away Bill Opposed and Defeated (5/9/06)
SB 1482 is a new bill that has been introduced into the California Senate, which will make it more difficult for children of divorce to retain the loving bonds they share with both parents by reversing the progress made on behalf of California's children of divorce over the past two years. The California Senate Judiciary Committee was supposed to be voted on on April 25, 2006. The hearing was moved last minute to May 9, 2006.
Just before the May 9, 2006 hearing, California Senator Gloria Romero (D-Los Angeles) withdrew bill SB 1482. This bill would have given custodial parents an almost unchallengable right to move children away from their noncustodial parents. Romero withdrew SB 1482 just before the scheduled May 9 hearing on the bill

SB 730 - Harmful Move-Away Bill Opposed and Defeated (8/16/04)
In the summer of 2004 then Senate President John Burton, one of the most powerful people in California, introduced SB 730, a bill which would have granted custodial parents an almost unlimited right to move children far way from their noncustodial parents. SB 730, would have abrogated the California Supreme Court's recent LaMusga move-away decision.

The Alliance for Children Concerned About Move-Aways (ACCAMA) believes that children's need for frequent and meaningful contact with both parents after a divorce is paramount. Present efforts by certain members of the California Legislature to attempt to weaken or abrogate altogether the new California Supreme Court's decision in In re Marriage of LaMusga (2004) run counter to this need.

A Recent Study on the the effects of Relocations on Children
Psychologists Sanford L. Braver, Ph.D., Bill Fabricius, Ph.D., and Law Professor Ira Ellman (the primary drafter of the American Law Institute's recently released Principles of the Law of Family Dissolution) of Arizona State University provide direct evidence of the effect of relocation on children after divorce through their study and cast doubt on the current legal presumption that a move by a custodial parent to a destination that the moving parent believes will improve his or her life will also be in the best interest of the children that moves with them.
The reseachers conclude, "there is no empirical basis on which to justify a legal presumption that a move by a custodial parent to a destination she or he plausibly believes will improve their life will necessarily confer benefits on the children they take with them."

Circus Edmund's Parcel is a clown show with three performers. We use music, acrobatics, and circus elements to tell the story. It features a wandering circus troupe of mother and daughter who go from village to village, traveling the country and presenting their spectacular tricks. Yet, one fine day things go differently. A young man just passing through casts his eyes on Pippy. Edmund, the naive and enthusiastic young man, gradually finds a place in Mama and Pippy's act. At the end, the three of them depart together, heading for the next village.
The production lasts 40 minutes and is primarily for children ages 5-12. It is interactive. At one point, viewers can step onstage, and they become the play's main characters. For the most part, we performed this show at schools and community centers in the countryside.
We performed this show at educational institutions and community centers altogether 101 times between 2010 and 2013 for 11,558 viewers.

System failure to blame for Walkerton, North Battleford outbreaks, says U of T study
A new study by U of T researchers suggests that front-line workers in the tainted water tragedies of Walkerton, Ont., and North Battleford, Sask., were not solely to blame for the outbreaks.
Instead, say the researchers, water contamination resulted from many failures in a complex system involving workers, local governments, regulatory bodies and provincial governments. "There are interactions and relationships across all these levels, and everybody has a role to play," says Kim Vicente, a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and co-author of the study. "When you get cracks across those relationships, you get these kinds of systems accidents."
In May 2000, seven residents of Walkerton died after drinking water contaminated with E.coli, and in April 2001, nearly 6,000 people in North Battleford became ill after drinking water contaminated with the Cryptosporidium parvum protozoan.
Vicente is an expert on human factors engineering, which examines technology that can accommodate human capabilities and limitations. He currently holds the Jerome Clarke Hunsaker Distinguished Visiting Professorship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass. Along with co-author Dennis Woo, his research assistant, he examined common factors between Walkerton and North Battleford.
The study, which will be published in the June 2003 issue of the journal Reliability Engineering & System Safety, examines the two outbreaks using an analytic system known as the Rasmussen framework. This framework looks at risk management in critical systems such as aviation, health care and drinking water management.
While details of each outbreak differ slightly, Vicente found that they share common factors such as budget reductions at the governmental level and lack of regulatory oversight. "The weaknesses at these government and organizational levels tended to appear in both accidents," he says. "We need to do a

Variations of these little dumplings are popular throughout China. They symbolize abundance and wealth for the coming year, as they are made in large amounts and, when fried golden, represent coins. In northern China they are served in the hours between the old and new year. These may take some time to prepare, but gather a few friends to help assemble the potstickers. Cook two dozen for your party, and freeze the extras for future snacks or meals. Simply pop the extra, uncooked dumplings in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag.
To prepare the sauce, combine 3 tablespoons chopped ginger and remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Serve sauce with dumplings.
Have made these several times and always a huge hit! I follow the recipe exactly. As soon as I plate them, they disappear. People literally watch me cook the potstickers, waiting for the next batch. Have even wowed people who claim not to like Chinese food. No issues with cooking time or flavor (use dipping sauce!).
Made a few changes and additions: used all ground pork and fish sauce instead of oyster sauce; also added a whole carrot, grated, plus a garlic clove finely chopped and a little sesame oil, for flavor. Didn't brown them but steamed them until the filling was cooked. Used my favorite homemade sauce instead of the one shown. Since I'm a solitary diner most of the time, I reserved about a dozen of them to eat in two sittings and froze the rest in rows on a cookie sheet...when they were frozen hard, I put all in a freezer zip-lock bag for convenience. This is a wonderful recipe and I'm thinking of using this filling for a "ravioli-style" pasta dish using two gyoza skins for each with a larger spoonful of filling; then I'll finish the dish by serving the steamed pork-filled pasta in a chicken/vegetable/tamari/sherry broth instead of tomato sauce.
Love these potstickers. Easy to make and also makes for a really quick snack. I don't use the sauce they ask for. I use low-sodium soy and ginger..Wonderful.
Closest I've found out of China. Absolutely wonderful! Be careful not too add more veggies than called for or the liquid can make them too soggy.
I have to agree with the other review that I couldn't get these cooked enough and it did need a little more flavor. I didn't worry too much about it being undercooked because I was making this as a snack to put in the fridge and microwave, thereby cooking it more, as needed. I'll definitely make these again but will try to tweak.
These are fabulous and easier to make than you would think. My family and all the friends who tried them at a party we hosted gave these raving reviews and the dipping sauce is the perfect compliment. We did not use the mushrooms and they were still fabulous. And we used the Balsamic substitute in the sauce.
I thought the potstickers needed a bit more seasonings and at 6 minutes cooking time, the meat was still raw inside. I had to steam them, with a lid, for another 4 minutes to cook them through, but then they lost the crispness that potstickers get on the bottom. I wouldn't make this again without tweaking the recipe some.
These were fantastic! They were easy to make but get a friend to help because it will definitely make the process go faster. We will make these again for sure!


I have a confession to make… I've gotten off track with my finances this year. Anyone else? Between buying land and building our modular house, we have had unexpected expenses popping up all over the place! This is a new year, though, and I'm ready to get back on track! How about you? I've found some pretty awesome tools for saving money this year and I want to share them with ya'll! They have been so helpful for me. These are the best ways to start saving more money this year!
This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. You can find our full disclosure here.
You Need a Budget – Honestly, I never really budgeted my money until a couple of months ago and this is the program that finally got me started! Other budgeting programs I tried seemed too complicated and I just couldn't set them up, much less actually stick with them. You Need a Budget, however, is a great program for budgeting newbies! They have free webinars on saving money and how to budget that were so helpful with getting started. I especially loved the webinars they offered on saving money on food and how to budget when you have credit cards or irregular income. Check them out, your finances will definitely thank you for it!
Digit – Digit is the best way to save money effortlessly! Once you sign up with Digit, they have some fancy algorithm (or magic sorcery) that tells them how much you can afford to save and they do the saving for you. Best of all, they guarantee that you won't over-draft by using Digit or they will pay the fee for you! I absolutely love Digit. The money saved adds up so quickly and it is money that I would never have saved otherwise. It's like finding a $20 bill in a purse you haven't used for a year!
Honey – Honey is by far my new favorite thing for shopping online! Honey is an extension for Google Chrome that automatically finds all available coupon codes and applies the one that will save you the most money. It is so effortless, no more googling to find the best coupon codes! You can even earn points from each shopping trip that you can convert to Amazon gift cards. Get an additional $5 with your first purchase when you join here. I might even love it more than Ebates!
Trim – Trim is like a personal finance assistant that takes care of your money so you don't have to. Just link your accounts and Trim will cancel old, unwanted subscriptions that you forgot you even had and they will try to have overdraft and late fees reversed for you. You can even set up spending alerts so you know if you are running low in your bank account or if you had a large draft. I love saving money effortlessly and this company does just that for me!
Ibotta – Far and away my favorite app for saving money. I mean, saving money buying groceries without having to search for coupons? I'm all in. Ibotta gives you cash back on groceries that you normally buy (like milk, produce, bananas, sometimes even diapers!). You can redeem your cash back for actual cash through PayPal or redeem it for gift cards to your favorite stores. I've even used my Ibotta earnings to get free clothes from Express! Get $10 after you redeem your first offer when you sign up here.
Do you want even more money saving and money making tips? I would love for you to join me in a free 4 day challenge to help you get back on track with your finances. You can join me here!
Have you tried any of these money-savers before or do you have other favorite tools that you use to save money? What are your personal best ways to save money? I would love to hear about them!

Община Вълчи дол се намира в Североизточна България и е една от съставните общини на област Варна.

География

Географско положение, граници, големина
Общината се намира в най-северозападната част на област Варна. С площта си от 472,518 km2 заема 3-то място сред 12-те общини на областта, което съставлява 12,35% от територията на областта. Границите ѝ са следните:
 на югоизток – община Аксаково и община Суворово;
 на югозапад – община Ветрино;
 на запад – община Нови пазар от област Шумен;
 на северозапад – община Никола Козлево от област Шумен;
 на север и североизток – община Добрич-селска от област Добрич.

Релеф, води
Релефът на общината е хълмисто-равнинен, с плоски и загладени хълмове, с недълбоки долини с полегати склонове. В западната част се простират крайните източни разклонения на Лудогорското плато с максимална височина 337 m, разположена западно от село Генерал Колево. Останалата източна половина е заета от най-южните части на Добруджанското плато, като тук надморската височина рядко надхвърля 250 m. Югоизточно от общинския център Вълчи дол е най-ниската точка на общината – 178 m.

Цялата територията на общината се отнася към Дунавския водосборния басейн. От юг-югозапад на изток-североизток, през средата на общината със своето средното течение протича река Карамандере, ляв приток на Суха река, която от своя страна се влива като суходолие в река Дунав на румънска територия.

На територията на общината има изградени няколко по-големи микроязовира, по-големи от които са "Генерал Киселово", "Страхил", "Стефан Караджа", "Брестак 1" и други, водите на които се използват основно за напояване на земеделските земи.

Q: How to capture **two fingers** touch while Explore By Touch is enabled? I am working on an app than needs to be able to capture gestures while accessibility and Explore By Touch is enable.
I have seen this answer for single touch - How can I maintain a one pointer gesture when explore-by-touch is enabled?
But in my app the user must perform multi touch events. The problem is that due to the Explore By Touch function that makes two fingers touch to behave like a single touch on regular mode, all my two fingers gestures aren't recognized. Is there a way to override Explore By Touch completely or the entire Accessibility for my specific app? (I can perform the other accessibility functions from my app)
Thanks!!

A: It is not possible to override Explore By Touch from within your code as it is an accessibility service that must be enabled/disabled by the user manually from within system settings.
However, TV Raman explains in his Google IO presentation - Making Android Apps Accessible
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3HliaMjL38
That the user can add a finger to the required gesture. so, a double-tapp passes a single tap to the underlying view, a 2-finger swipe passes a 1-finger swipe to the underlying view etc.
If you try pinch and zoom with 3 rather than 2-fingers in Chrome, that works. try your app with 3-finger gestures and see if your 2-finger gestures are now recognized.


Wisconsin's troubled job-creation agency handed out more awards last year but created fewer jobs, according to its annual report.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation awarded nearly $90 million more in economic development awards last year than the previous year, according to the report issued Friday. But those awards are expected to create or retain almost 6,000 fewer jobs and result in $400 million less in capital investment.


AB InBev, the world's largest brewer, has announced to team up with Keurig Green Mountain to develop an in-home alcohol drink system. Keurig is a beverage brewing system for home and commercial use and is best known for its K-Cup pods, which are single-serve coffee containers.
In 2012 Keurig's main patent on its K-Cup pods expired. Since then the company has been trying to adopt its proprietary home brewing machines to brew not only coffee but also soft drinks, cocktail mixes and soups. In September 2015 Keurig Kold, a system for homemade soft drinks backed by official syrups from Coca Cola and Monster Beverage Corp. was introduced but was discontinued last June after its sales flopped. The same happened with single-serve Fresh-Brewed Soup in K-Cup pods, which were developed together with Campbell Soup to be used with the Keurig K-Cup coffee devices.
The new venture between AB InBev and Keurig will "build on the Keurig KOLD technology and system innovations and AB InBev's brewing and packaging technology, and evolve them within the realm of the full adult beverage category," the two companies said in a press statement.
Nathaniel Davis, global vice president of innovation and development for AB InBev, will be named CEO of the joined company that will source a combined 50 employees already working at AB InBev and Keurig. At the moment it is not clear if the automatic all-grain homebrewing appliance by PicoBrew Inc., in which AB InBev holds a minority interest, will play a role in the new company.


Doves were released as a gesture of peace for Ukraine.
VATICAN CITY, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- The white peace doves that Pope Francis and two children released during the Angelus Prayer in St. Peter's Square on Sunday didn't make it very far before they were attacked by a seagull and a crow.
The two doves were released from a window of the Apostolic Palace as a symbolic gesture for peace in Ukraine, where ongoing protests have resulted in a number of deaths.
A seagull pinned one of the doves against the palace and pecked at its feathers until the victim was able to fly away. A crow attacked the other dove as it sat on a windowsill.
Following the attacks, tens of thousands of onlookers watched as the doves flew off, both appearing to be uninjured.
The release of the doves marked the end of the Vatican's annual Caravan of Peace event.
During the ceremony last year, one of the doves was also attacked by a seagull.
