Well your test is passed, you've got yourself your first car, paid for your insurance surely that's it now your all ready to go. But wait there's one other thing that you should have and that is breakdown cover.
If you break down without it then as well as being stranded somewhere, it is also likely to end up costing you a lot of money.
Some years ago I was driving back to Wales from Manchester when the cam belt snapped on my car, probably due to lack of maintenance but hey these things do happen. Stuck on the hard shoulder of the M56 I was left with no choice but to call out the emergency breakdown, the AA arrived, now as I wasn't a member I had to pay a joining fee, and also as I hadn't been a member for 24 hours before the breakdown I was charged for towing my vehicle back home, I was then handed a bill for the full cost of recovery. If I had the breakdown cover in place, I would have been recovered at no cost.
So what cover do you need.
This is the most basic breakdown cover, should you break down then the patrol will attend your vehicle and try to repair the problem, however if the fault can not be repaired on the side of the road then you will be towed to a nearby garage, you are then responsible for sorting out any repair bills with the garage and also you may need to find another way home.
As with roadside every effort will be made to repair your vehicle at the roadside, however if this is not possible then your vehicle and all of your passengers will be recovered to a destination of your choice, usually a garage local to your home, or you could take the vehicle to a garage near to wherever you are heading and have it repaired there.
There are also other additional services which provide onward travel, this means that in the event of a breakdown you could have your car recovered to a garage of your choice and you will be supplied with a courtesy car for the rest of your journey, or an overnight stay at a local hotel while your vehicle is repaired. Again you will be responsible for paying any garage bills.
It should be noted that roadside assistance or the recovery options do not usually cover you when you are within a mile of your home address. For this you will need one of the homestart options.
As the name suggests this means that should you find your car wont start or if you breakdown near your home you can call out the breakdown service and they will try to get your car going, otherwise they will take it to a garage of your choice.

When most people go to execute their "core strength workouts", they tend to focus on nothing more than the all too common movements of simple crunches and leg raises. While many exercises do have their place in a complete core routine, the truth is that your core actually extends way beyond these surface level muscles.
If you really want to improve core strength as effectively as possible, some of the best exercises you can include in your program are seated movements. These exercises are some of the very best core strengthening exercises out there since it trains your core muscles based on their true function, which is to act as a stabilizing center while protecting the spine.
For this amazing routine, it's important to have proper technique and form is very simple. These are simple but can be performed incorrectly if not careful.
Do these 6 movements for :30 seconds at a time and then repeat it for an additional 1 or 2 more sets. These 6 movements are adequate enough to really see great improvements in your core.

Mämmi is a traditional Easter food in Finland; it is a dark-brown porridge-like dish with a thick but smooth consistency. Mämmi is made of water, rye flour, powdered malted rye, salt, and dried powdered Seville orange peel. Mämmi has an exceptional taste; some people like it, and some can't stand the taste. However, it is worth trying such an unusual, unique, and distinctive flavor which is hard to find elsewhere. You might like the taste and become a real fan, and continue to buy it all around the year, because one can buy it from the freezer even out of the Easter period.
History of Mämmi
According to the book of 100 Sosiaalista Innovaatiota Suomesta:
Mämmi is an ancient dish which has been eaten in the southwestern region of Finland, since the 13th century.
Daniel Juslenius, professor of theology at the Academy of Turku, described in 1700, a slightly sweet porridge used by the Finns in the oven, which has a black-ish color, and eaten at Easter.
History researcher H.G. Porthan was the first to pay attention to this popular dish, and where it was used. According to him, Häme and partly South and Southwest Finland were the regions where Mämmi strongly favored, but in Karelia, Savo, and Ostrobothnia, mämmi was unknown. According to Porthan, mämmi was eaten cold with wooden sticks (päre-tikku).
Mämmi gradually became known throughout the country, mainly through counseling organizations, cookbooks, and chefs, newspaper cookbooks, but only in the South Karelia and Lapland after the 1930s.
However, the folk-style (non-industrial) way of cooking mämmi, has hardly changed over the years. In 1751, P. Gadd, professor of chemistry at the Academy of Turku, published the instruction: "One part rye flour, two parts powdered rye malt, sucked in hot water (imeltää), immersed in a pot, simmered and baked in an oven for 6-7 hours."
Mämmi today
Nowadays, people hardly make mämmi at home, and it is bought ready in food stores. The traditional mämmi is made through a slow and natural sweetening process, but the commercially-made mämmi is usually seasoned with dark molasses, and therefore it is sweeter.
Those who think the usual mämmi in the shop is too sweet. You can try the organic (luomu) mämmi, or traditional (perinteinen) one with no added sugar, this is much less sweet than the ordinary one, and all the sweetness is due to the natural process of making mämmi. Nowadays, it is also possible to find gluten-free versions of mämmi.
Mämmi was traditionally stored in small containers made of birch bark called tuokkonen or rove. Finnish packaging still keeps the same prints of birch bark-like patterns on the carton boxes.
Mämmi is eaten cold as a dessert, or with cream and perhaps a sprinkle of sugar on top.
During the Easter period, one can buy a variety of mämmi freshly made, and throughout the year, one can still find it from the freezer.
There are also some websites with recipes using mämmi, most of which are in Finnish. There is also a Finnish association for mämmi, founded by Ahmed Ladarsi, who has developed many recipes containing mämmi.
It is interesting to mention that mämmi is not only eaten in Finland, or Sweden as most Finns think but also in Iran/Persia. There is a very similar dessert called 'Sämänoo' made from wheat, not rye.
And here is also an old funny saying" Senkin mämmikoura" (clumsy-hands), which makes us think where it comes from, and why, and in what situations has it been used?

Getting started as an independent business researcher?
What IIPs have in common is the ability to provide clients with timely, accurate, and actionable information, analysis, design, review, and strategy. They may work with clients across a wide range of sectors, and they typically do this on a project, retainer, or hourly basis.
Many AIIP members work with clients interested in learning more about a particular sector or industry to help make business decisions.
Independent Information Professionals save valuable time because of their familiarity with the many tools and resources available to research these questions, such as commercial online services and public records.
Their advice covers tips for both working on projects and building your own IIP business if you are a business researcher.

Two men stand on a field of white. The one on the left is a handsome white man, about 50, distinguished, knowledgeable, and stylishly dressed for dinner at a seaside restaurant. The one on the right is much younger, casually attired in Bermuda shorts, Crocs, an open T-shirt, and hailing from some mixed Pan-Pacific ancestry. A pleasant jingle plays unobtrusively in the background.
Catamaran pumps for a moment gathering his breath, "So we decided to motor. It's a long way for a beer run. But what are you going to do?..." Abruptly, Catamaran starts coughing and slows down to a walk.
Monohull glances over, concerned, and slows his pace as well, "Are you all right, Catamaran?" He begins a slow walking circle around Catamaran as he looks over his companion.
Monohull's expression changes to a knowing look, "Time for some maintenance, heh? Well it happens to all of us. There's a little anchorage just there you can hole up in till you fix it." While he tries to appear sympathetic, it's quite clear that he's delighted to show up the younger man. "I guess if you don't need me, I'll just be heading off to La Paz." His pace starts to increase.
That second engine is going to cost you: Time, money, maintenance. On the other hand, it's also a backup engine that pretty well ensures you won't get left out there without a motor. This redundancy vs. cost equation is true of many aspects of your catamaran. Two engines, two heads, two hulls. Break one and the other holds you up. I'm reminded of a concept from that luminary of the sailing world Lin Pardey. She talks about being "unstoppable." Unstoppable isn't so much a state of equipment as one of attitude.
I, for one, have a much better attitude when I get to my anchorage on time.

Kylo Ren's Journey In Star Wars: The Last Jedi Will Be "Unexpected"
Christian Bone Aug 18, 2017 5:28 pm 2017-08-18T17:56:21-05:00
Adam Driver, the man behind the Star Wars franchise's latest big bad, Kylo Ren, has briefly teased what his character's journey will be like in The Last Jedi.
In a short chat with Sunday Today, the actor hinted that things may not play out the way we'd think. When asked if fans will enjoy what happens with Kylo in the film, he simply responded by saying, "God, I hope. I hope they will. I think it will be hopefully unexpected."
Driver, who's by now well-versed in watching what he says in interviews, obviously didn't let much slip out here, but the use of the word "unexpected" is an intriguing one. After all, in The Force Awakens, we learned that Kylo Ren was really Ben Solo, the son of Han and Leia, who had been corrupted by Supreme Leader Snoke into joining the Dark Side.
As he's shown to be much more emotional and volatile than his grandpappy Darth Vader, he could still potentially turn back to the path of the Jedi. Though, admittedly, killing his dad wasn't a mark in the plus column. Given his somewhat conflicted character, then, it's hard to read too much into what would be "unexpected" about Kylo's journey in The Last Jedi. Is it more expected for him to stay a villain, or to switch sides? Time will tell.
Kylo isn't the only character who will be taken in an unexpected direction in the upcoming Episode VIII, either. As has been discussed at length, Luke Skywalker will be a very different person from when we last saw him in Return of the Jedi. With his newfound belief that the Jedi need to end, it's totally possible that him and Kylo Ren could switch places, with Skywalker following in his daddy's footsteps and heading over to the Dark Side.
Unfortunately, all we can say for sure right now is that you should expect the unexpected when Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives on December 15th.

Provided that the style and type may mix together and make everything seem wonderful, then you need to use any style that you want. You should be innovative whenever choosing it and you can also be bold and decide to try something which you've never attempts before.
Customized gazebo canopy big lots is always a plus thing to possess since you can create it in any design and style that you want. Additionally you can even add different characteristics that you might want which might not be available in a premade one. But understand that having a custom made one also means you might need to get ready more on the budget specially when you want to make a unique design. Of course, you still ready to adjust everything so it wouldn't go over budget therefore you need to talk about the option once again.

CONSTANT SEARCHES: By store security guards.
I HAD been hearing alarm bells for some time. That's nothing unusual where you have properties that remain unoccupied for months on end, often sounding false alarms. Some are so sensitive that a sparrow breaking wind in Alicante will trigger that infernal high pitched peeping that drives everybody nuts.
But that's not the type of alarm I am talking about. The kind I am referring to are the ones that had been going off as I left certain stores in the Zenia Boulevard shopping centre.
I had become quite accustomed to being challenged leaving Zara Man which happened with such frequency, that when assistants came hurrying up to see who was half inching their gear, they simply shrugged and turned away when they saw it was yours truly.
I was constantly being searched at Leroy Merlin as I left with my purchases. I got to know the security man quite well there, but he had his job to do, and he always kindly but firmly asked to inspect my man bag. Yes I've got a man bag. Get over it.
We tried testing my house and car keys, phone and anything else metallic that might be the culprit, on the scanner, but all with a negative response. It was weird.
Then last week the same thing happened as we were leaving Media Markt.
We had simply been in to compare prices, but again that familiar honking as we attempted to make our getaway. Leaving I mean.
What did security think I had in my cute little man bag? A coffee machine or a 72" TV? But fair do's, he was merely doing his job.
But the whole mystery was solved a few minutes later in Marvimundo, from where the Princess needed to replenish some of her smelly stuff.
Again that familiar sound as we attempted to leave. But with the usual fruitless search completed, a charming young lady assistant suggested that for my own peace of mind, she tested every single item in my bag. Bingo!
It was my leather wallet. But why?
On close inspection, deep down and sewn inside one of the compartments was a plastic doody with two slivers of metal inside.
Its purpose is still a mystery, but having removed it, I can now leave shops without feeling like a master criminal.


ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — An audit has found that the Naval Academy has decaying walls, plumbing issues and condemned offices and balconies.
The Capital reported Friday that it obtained the 2018 audit through a Freedom of Information Act request. The Naval Audit Service's report says the Annapolis, Maryland, college's infrastructure has degraded to the point of threatening its ability to train midshipmen.
The report outlined 13 unfunded maintenance or renovation projects across 15 facilities between March 2017 and April 26.
It says there are failing classrooms and athletic facilities, and the stormwater system has dumped unfiltered water into the Severn River.
The Navy didn't release the costs of all unfunded projects.
Academy spokesman Cmdr. David McKinney says in a statement that the school agrees with the audit's findings and looks forward to addressing them.


Anne and Viv arrived at the house yesterday, so only Josh to go and we have a full house! We need to actually all sit down and just get to know each other better, I look forward to whenever that happens.
Today I'm going to Ascot for another day of working for the Tote. I woke up this morning to find that I hadn't bought a pair of black trousers so I'm having to compromise by using the trousers from the suit James' WeSuit company made for me! They fit perfectly, but they're more of a grey than a black :S Hopefully they won't be a problem.
What I'm Doing Now. About to leave and go to work!
PS I've put up the video I made of James' Graduation in 2005 as my latest old video to go online, take a look.

Micromobility Sharing Startup Revel Goes Tesla in NYC
Revel is a Brooklyn-based sharing company that is electrifying US cities with its electric vehicle fleets. Revel started with electric mopeds allowing users to rent e-mopeds via the Revel app. In the meantime, their offering has been expanded to other vehicle classes to include monthly eBike subscriptions and now, electric cars and fast-charging stations to increase their offerings. The highlight here is that all their brands of electric vehicles can charge at these brand-new fast chargers. Founded in 2018, the company now operates in four New York City boroughs, Washington, D.C., Miami, Florida, and the California Bay Area cities of Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco.
THE NEWS IN REVEL'S SHARING OFFERING
The company has positioned 50 bright blue Tesla Model Y vehicles with the Revel logo on the side for the launch in New York City. The electric Tesla Model Ys are slightly modified, with the passenger seat removed for more legroom. In accordance with COVID-19 guidelines, a plastic partition separates the driver from passengers, and the vehicles will be cleaned and sanitized daily. What's interesting about the fleet compared to ridesharing competitors Uber and Lyft is that it's owned by mobility provider Revel. The two major U.S. auto ride-sharing company follow an asset-light business model, in which drivers or fleet managers own the vehicles.
The Revel website provided more insights to their approach:
* Our rideshare fleet is all-electric and fully equipped with Tesla vehicles.
* Our trained and vetted drivers are employees.
* We offer some exciting and perhaps unexpected features in the vehicles: extra legroom by removing the passenger seat, passenger controls, charging outlets, and a separation guard from the driver that is mandatory for carriers in COVID times.
The company says it will initially offer its service exclusively in Manhattan, with pickup and drop-off below 42nd Street. Expansion into other boroughs and districts will be addressed based on demand. In the U.S., ridership has dropped 80 to 90 percent since March 2020. Revel's launch timing in NYC couldn't be worse for many cab drivers. It's no wonder that the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) criticized the "assault" and in the region south of 42nd Revel will be facing fierce protests, since the startup is competing here in the stronghold of the famous Yellow Cabs.
Sharing company Revel also announced last week that it is building a DC fast charging Superhub for electric vehicles (EVs) at the historic former Pfizer building in Brooklyn. The site will be the largest universal fast charging depot in North America, with 30 chargers open to the public on a 24/7 basis and accessible to owners of any electric vehicle brand. This will be the first of a network of fast charging Superhubs opened by Revel across New York City to promote the widespread adoption of electric vehicles and meet New Yorkers' need for EV fast chargers.
"Revel is building the infrastructure of the future and we're building it now - our planet can't wait."
Frank Reig, Revel CEO and Co-Founder
"Revel is building the infrastructure of the future and we're building it now - our planet can't wait," said Frank Reig, Revel CEO and Co-Founder. "We couldn't be more excited to bring fast charging to our home borough of Brooklyn and get to work on the first of many Superhubs to come in 2021."
The former Pfizer building, which once housed the company's drug manufacturing operations and was its first headquarters, is a natural fit for Revel's first chargers. In recent years, the site has been transformed by its owners at Acumen Capital Partners into an ecosystem of small businesses and startups building the economy of tomorrow.
Revel chose Tritium's recently launched RTM75 model for the first ten chargers at its Brooklyn site, which will go live this spring. These chargers can provide EV drivers with 100 additional miles in about 20 minutes. Revel plans to install upcoming Tritium fast charger models at the Superhub in the coming months, further increasing charging capacity and speed.
Revel, by the way, is not the first startup from the micromobility segment to add cars to its fleet. Lime, the E-scooter and bike sharing service that is also a serious contender in European cities, launched electric car sharing with its LimePod product in Seattle a few years back but discontinued it a few months later. The investment into 50 Tesla Model Y electric vehicles by Revel is a new dimension in the ongoing fight for electrification in US-cities. Revel has certainly chosen a dramatic venue in Manhattan and with the choice of the Model Y will make news wherever they launch next. Game on – electric car sharing is definitely on the up in the United States.

2. DELIVER "EXTREME" CUSTOMER SERVICE.
It's all about the experience. With every experience, do the little things, as well as the big things, that surprise people. Make every interaction stand out for its helpfulness. Create the "WOW" factor that turns customers into raving fans. This includes both internal and external customers.
3. WALK IN YOUR CUSTOMERS' SHOES.
Understand your customers' world. Know their goals, challenges and frustrations. See the world from their perspective. The better you understand them, the more effectively you can anticipate and meet their needs.
Be willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. plus a little bit more. Whether it's starting early, staying late, or doing something that's not in your job description, it's the extra mile that separates the ordinary from the extraordinary.
Speak honestly in a way that helps to make progress. Say what you mean, and be willing to ask questions, share ideas, or raise issues that may cause conflict when it's necessary for team success. Care enough to say what needs to be said. Address issues directly with those who are involved or affected.
It's not about you. Don't let your ego or personal agenda get in the way of doing what's best for the team. Be there for each other and be willing to step into another role or help a co-worker when that's what's required for success. Help each other succeed.
Take personal responsibility for making things happen. Respond to every situation by looking for how we can do it, rather than explaining why it can't be done. Be resourceful and show initiative. Don't make excuses or wait for others to solve the problem. See issues through to their completion.
You have the power to choose your attitude. Choose to be happy, optimistic, and enthusiastic. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Your attitude is contagious. Spread optimism and positive energy.
Our customers expect us not only to offer quality products, services, and solutions, but also to be solution experts. Be a lifelong learner and take ownership for your personal development. Ask questions and do research to make yourself an expert.
10. FIX THE PROBLEM – NOT THE BLAME.
Demonstrate a relentless solution focus, rather than pointing fingers or dwelling on problems. It's easy to point out problems. It's better to identify solutions; but it only makes a difference when you step up and become a part of the solution. Be resourceful and apply your creativity and enthusiasm to developing solutions instead of simply blaming others.
Do what you say you're going to do, when you say you're going to do it. This includes being on time for all phone calls, appointments, meetings, and promises. If a commitment can't be fulfilled, notify others early and agree on a new deliverable to be honored. When appointment delays are unavoidable, make a call to keep them in the loop and let them know what to expect and when to expect you.
The best way to influence others is through your own example. Walk the talk. Take responsibility, both formally and informally, to coach, guide, teach, and mentor others.
Regularly reevaluate every aspect of your job to find ways to improve. Don't be satisfied with the status quo. "Because we've always done it that way" is not a reason. Guard against complacency. Find ways to get things done better, faster, and more efficiently.
16. EMBRACE CHANGE AND GROWTH.
What got us here is not the same as what will get us to the next level. Get outside your comfort zone, rather than stubbornly hanging on to old ways of doing things. Be excited by the possibilities that change and growth bring. Be flexible.
Be organized and plan your work for maximum efficiency. Have all the tools necessary before starting your work. Be thoughtful about your schedule, and have a game plan for your calls, your tasks, and your workday. Know the priorities and work on them first.
18. BE A FANATIC ABOUT RESPONSE TIME.
Respond to questions and concerns quickly, whether it's in person, on the phone, or by e-mail. This includes simply acknowledging that we got the question and we're "on it." Keep those involved continuously updated on the status of outstanding issues, even if the update is, "we're still tracking down the solution".
19. DELIVER AN EFFORTLESS EXPERIENCE.
Be ridiculously helpful. Find ways to make working with you/us easier. Provide simple and complete instructions. When in doubt, do more rather than pushing the work back to someone else. Streamline our processes. Simplify everything.
20. GET CLEAR ON EXPECTATIONS.
Give others your undivided attention. Be present and engaged. Minimize the distractions and let go of the need to agree or disagree. Suspend your judgment and be curious to know more, rather than jumping to conclusions. Focus on being interested vs being interesting.
22. PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS.
Missing just one detail can have an enormous impact on a job or service call. Be a fanatic about accuracy and precision. The goal is to get things right, not simply to get them done. Double-check your work. Get the details right the first time.
24. THINK SAFE. WORK SAFE.

SINGAPORE (AP) — Angelique Kerber held her nerve and held her serve, a combination that helped the Wimbledon champion beat Naomi Osaka 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 on Wednesday at the WTA Finals.
Kerber saved 13 of the 18 break points she faced, including five in the final game of the first set, to improve to 1-1 at the season-ending tournament. Osaka, who won this year's U.S. Open, dropped to 0-2.
Sloane Stephens and Kiki Bertens, who are both 1-0 in the Red Group, were playing in the second match on Wednesday.
Kerber had a chance to win straight sets, but she was broken while serving at 5-4. In the final set, the German didn't squander a second chance and an error from Osaka on match point ended it.
Osaka finished the match with 50 unforced errors and 42 winners, while Kerber had 30 unforced errors and 24 winners.

In this rapidly transforming age of 24/7 connectivity and globalization, he encourages readers to strive, no longer for the fiction of "Balance", but instead for "Resilience Mastery". He also incorporates some powerful new insights he and his colleagues acquired over the past 10 years, helping thousands of leaders in more than 60 countries apply his model to themselves and their organizations.
Nearly all of us experience the suffering of overwork, over-stimulation, overachievement and hyper-expectation. We are asked to do more with less, but where is the energy and capacity going to come from? Rather than doing more, we need to learn to do differently in order to achieve. We need to slow down to go fast, step back to energize, take a breath to connect with presence, and look at the same situations with fresh, innovative thinking. Otherwise we will continue to crash economically, personally, and collectively. In today's dynamic world, Pause will become the new transformative principle, the catalyst for purpose-filled innovation and renewal.
