Read on to find out the states that have made this practice legal, forbidden betting areas and the future plans of betting in this powerful nation.

4.1 Revenue boost
There was a ban on sports betting in the USA since 1992 till earlier this year (2018). Permission by the Supreme Court was granted to a few states for a start. This was through the help of the legislators. Today, American citizens in some states have the honour of cheering on favourite teams while awaiting to bag large sums of money through bets.
Sports betting was first made legitimate in the state of Nevada. Do you happen to live here? If you are a sports fun I bet you have been receiving rewards that come with this practice. There are other states that have earlier in the year 2018 had the permission of the Supreme Court to bet. They include Delaware, state of Montana and Oregon.
Gambling centres like the city of Atlanta together with the park of Monmouth are already active for sports lovers to place bets and win lump sums of money. So if you love watching horses race, visit these two centres and you are sure to bag some dollars thanks to the legalisation of this practice.
There are other six states that have recently got permission to place sports bet. They include Lowa, City of New York, West Virginia, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Do you reside in any of these states? Well, rush into any gambling spot and start earning money as soon as possible.
Forbidden betting states
There are thirteen cities and states in the USA that have not yet received the consent of the Supreme Court to bet though plans are underway to award citizens their betting rights. They include Rhode Island, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Michigan, Missouri, Maryland, Massachusetts, California, Kentucky, Minnesota, State of Illinois, Indiana and Kansas City. If you happen to live in any of these great cities do not lose hope because your legislators are fighting hard to make this practice legitimate for you. When the right time comes and permission is granted, you will have the honour of not only watching favourite teams play but place bets and look forward to winning millions of dollars.
Future of sports betting
Research was earlier conducted about the benefits and harms of this practice to the American nation. This was established through an analysis of the United Kingdom sports betting industry. The US discovered several pros and cons that revolved around this practice, they need to position themselves for promotions programs such as bet365 usa bonus code and the measures to consider once this practice has been legalised so as not to realise an economic downfall.
Negative aspects of sports betting
Gambling involves surrendering your hard earned money and willing to take risks that come with the practice. The USA have not been willing to make this practice legitimate for a very long time because of the harms that are associated with betting. They include:
Betting scams
This is likely to happen through the social media accounts of some crafty characters. The USA established that through the use of ghost accounts, the American citizens were likely to be duped of their hard earned money through the advertisement of games that end up not being played. If your state has already received the permission to legally bet, it is important to register with betting firms that are recognized on a global level so as not to fall prey to these kinds of scams.
Researchers fear that there is a possibility of fixing certain matches to suit the expectations of betting firms. Before giving the state of Nevada betting rights, The USA government adopted the best way of dealing with this scam. This is through hiring qualified sports analysts and paying players well and in good time. So if you were worried about this kind of fraud, fear not because your nation has found the best way of protecting your betting rights.
Positive aspects of sports betting
Revenue boost
Research has indicated that the legalisation of betting will boost the American economy to greater heights. Betting firms pay taxes of up to fifteen percent on a monthly basis. Supposing there are a thousand registered betting firms that operate in this great nation, how much revenue do you think the American government will wait to collect on a yearly basis? I would say millions of dollars. So as an American Citizen your economic future is in good hands once this practice is legalised in the entire nation.
After a careful research, you as an American citizen are aware about the states that have been granted the permission to bet. Secondly, you are able to identify cities and states that have not yet received consent of the Supreme Court to engage in this practice. Finally you know the future plans of this practice to the economy of your state and how to go about evading fraudsters. So take your time to enjoy watching your favourite team play and bet responsibly.
The Big Society: Back, and more meaningful than ever!
Regular readers will know I am possibly the world's biggest fan of the (real) concept behind the Big Society, and also that I have always been a bit disappointed that 1) it was allowed to become portrayed as just being about volunteering and 2) the Tories stopped talking about it. However on the plus side, it's absolutely one of the policies that they have had enormous success with but don't talk about much, which I suppose if you have to choose is the best way for it to be.
So today's announcement about 3 days a year for employees in large companies and for public sector workers to participate in the Big Society is great. What does it mean in practice? It means that 15 million people will do something different. It means that 15 million people will talk to each other outside their normal context. And it means that 15 million people will be able to choose what they put their efforts into.
Out of this are likely to grow some extraordinary things. I've recently been working on some tech and innovation stuff, and one of the most powerful and encouraging things I've noticed has been that random conversations produce innovation of all sorts. Another is just how positive and front-footed people are – much more so than in politics, where so often we say, "oh that won't work" and get all snooty about other people's ideas.
But even if people don't start something different, they will improve what exists already. They will be part of personalising services in schools and healthcare; they will be part of making sure that the services they engage with actually deliver what people want; they will link together inputs and outcomes far better than any government statistics could ever hope to, and they will hugely strengthen the bonds in their communities.
I wrote a piece two and a half years ago about the Big Society which I think has stood the test of time. My near-conclusion was this:
Actually, my favourite rationale for the Big Society isn't about the big philosophical picture at all. It's that people are overwhelmingly sceptical about anything that any government does. They don't believe politicians. They don't trust them. They don't like them. And therefore (so they say) anything that takes power away from them is a great thing.
So the Big Society really means that politicians don't control things any more, because people do. They can choose the right school for their child. They can choose their GP, their consultant, their hospital. They can choose whether they want to volunteer in their own community, or take advantage of others' work (which is fine – otherwise why bother encouraging volunteers in the first place! If a service is not used it will not survive). They can choose how far they want to get involved in all sorts of things – from getting together to show that the demand is there for superfast broadband, to what priorities their police focus on, to what kind of bin service they want, to planting some flowers in their street, to how they run their businesses, to using social enterprises for their day to day needs…
And that, in the end, is what this announcement is about. It's giving individuals with knowledge and expertise the freedom to come together to innovate and connect. And what they will do with that power is awesomely full of potential to make all of our lives better.
Another reason to vote Conservative: troubled families, the state and One Nation
This is another in our regular series of things the Conservatives have delivered in office that are great but which they don't talk about enough…
In Dundee in 1996*, the Family Intervention Project took the hugely brave step of looking at evidence (from the US) and trying something new. Instead of managing decline and dealing with problems after they'd occurred – usually entailing punishment or sanctions of some sort – it brought together all the various bits of the state which dealt with problems in people's lives to try and figure out what was working, what wasn't, and how to fix those problems rather than just damping them down to a more or less manageable level.
Over the next 15 years, various pledges were made to try and replicate that successful intervention model but sadly not much progress was really made and an ever-greater gap opened up between those with real and complicated problems and the state which is supposed to help and enable us to succeed. So when the Coalition announced that they were committed to a renewed Troubled Families Programme that would help 120,000 families across the UK by knitting together a single point of contact, local services of all flavours and committed and personalised support, people were naturally a little skeptical.
And yet. That programme has worked, with meaningful changes for the better in those individuals' lives, as well as long-term and sustainable savings in the cost of services they use.
There are two hugely significant aspects to this. The first – more political – is the recognition that the state can and should deliver personalised, coherent, responsive support to its citizens, and that that is – in and of itself – desirable and can be successful. Conservatives have often failed to explain that we do believe in the state, that we believe in its capacity to deliver and its capacity to enable individuals to live better lives, and that we understand that we can and should use the state's muscle to help people. (As an aside, there's a nice section in a recent James Forsyth interview with George Osborne on this). If One Nation Conservatism is about anything, it is this: that those who need help should get the best we can give, to enable them to eventually move towards being the ones who can give help as well.
It's the same argument we should have made, for example, in the 1980s in mining and industrial communities: if people are left behind, we can help, we know what works, and we must help because it enables us all to be stronger and more successful as a result.
The second is personally more important to the people involved: that they have had the necessary support to improve their lives. That their children are in school, that they are getting medical help where needed, that they are being supported to create better lives for themselves, that where they can, they are in work – these are all good, Conservative values. It shows what can be achieved through building practical, committed, trusting relationships that – yes – ask a lot of participants but also frees them to succeed rather than keeps them in an endless cycle of managed failure.
The programme has been so successful for those 120,000 families that it will be extended to another 400,000 through to 2020. This is a lasting and significant improvement both in those families' lives and in the way that the state approaches failure, and we should be shouting from the rooftops about it.

(Only) Three Reasons to Vote Conservative
The polls say the election's outcome is up in the air, but one thing is clear – the Tories are close to polling better than the 36.1% share of the vote won in 2010. No mean feat given the perils and challenges of five years in office. Of course there have been a few facepalm moments (ask me after May and I'll give you my list) but overall David Cameron's government has been one of innovation and reform – not a bad record when the books left by Labour offered little room to breathe.
That I'll be voting for the Tories on May 7th is hardly a revelation given that I stood for council on the blue ticket last May, enjoyed (rather than endured) my first party conference a couple of years ago and have traipsed off to all sorts of by-elections around the country. But forget the slightly tame election promises and #LongTermEconomicPlan – here are three concrete reasons why I'll be out pounding the pavements for the Tories in the run-up to May 7th – and why you should consider voting for the Conservatives too.
It is the Conservatives who are the party of opportunity – not Labour – and if you want proof of that just look at the how we've revitalised apprenticeships. I'm not sure whether it's healthy to have a favourite graph, but here's mine. Note how women have been doing better under the Conservatives then under Labour.
In 2010 the Conservatives committed to creating 400,000 apprenticeships. Here we are five years on and we've created 2,000,000 apprentices. In comparison Labour's idea of opportunity was telling everyone to go to university: 'why do an apprenticeship when you can have a degree?' This was a betrayal of the idea that some people might actually be able to enter the workforce and secure skilled, well-paid employment by in-work training, paid for by the employer.
And note how quickly they've forgotten their disgraceful record on apprenticeships:
Guaranteed with a Labour govt → 80,000 more high quality apprenticeships so every school leaver with the grades has the chance to get on.
— The Labour Party (@UKLabour) February 17, 2015
Wow, 80,000 apprentices. That's 80% fewer than the Tories promised in 2010, and 4% of the apprentices created during the five years of this Tory government.
Apprenticeships were a massive part of Britain when we made things and exported to the world, but cruelly Blair and Brown saw them simply in the context of their inept class war. Besides, who needs skilled British workers when you're one of three EU countries not to put in place freedom-of-labour controls when the EU expanded eastwards? Much easier to bring over the cream of the Accession States' workforce. David Cameron's government has done the hard work of rebuilding apprenticeships, which are so important in the fight to upskill our workforce, improve productivity – and transform people's lives.

Like most people in the South East travelling on the railways and underground is a big part of my life, and the good news is that this government has poured enormous amounts of money into future-proofing the transport network.
Labour electrified 13 miles of railway under Blair and Brown. One poxy mile per year in government. In comparison we've just about finished electrifying the entire railway from London to Wales in five years. Work on Crossrail (London's new East-West underground line) is on target for completion in 2018, by which point Crossrail 2 will be well underway – much to the relief of Northern Line commuters. George Osborne was under pressure to cancel these projects, but he recognised how vital it was to have transport that was worthy of London's position as one of the world's great cities. Likewise hundreds of railway platforms across the country have been lengthened to accommodate longer trains that are being brought into service – why we're not shouting about this I have no idea.
And an enormous overhaul of railways in the North-West is being delivered – new electric trains through Manchester on the new Ordsall viaduct, with big service improvements – like Chester to Manchester in under 40 minutes (over an hour at present). Labour likes to think the North is its home turf, but what did they do for commuters in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Preston, and so on? The Conservatives have made the investment that is helping increase the reliability and capacity of the railways, and helping more people get a seat in the morning.
Perhaps the most contentious of the three points, but I really do think David Cameron has shown genuine leadership as Prime Minister in the past five years. He has held together a government with the Liberal Democrats, our most despised opponents. I was on the officer team of a rock solid Tory Association outside the M25 for much of this parliament, and vividly recall our Chairman announcing his defection to UKIP as the first item on our AGM – so I have some insight into how difficult his position must have been.
Yet look at the alternatives. Wind up the government half way though? We'd have been slaughtered in the polls. Avoid addressing gay marriage? Labour would have introduced it from the opposition benches and caused all sorts of havoc. Cameron didn't bow to UKIP's agenda, the wisdom of which can be seen as the latter's credibility disintegrates in the run-up to May 7th. It's easy to bag Ed Miliband, but has he demonstrated the qualities needed to lead a government as Leader of the Opposition? I – and seemingly many others – think not. And Clegg's lot has found coalition politics to be as comfortable as snuggling up to a boa constrictor, with single figure poll ratings since 2011. This May will see seats turning blue that have been yellow for decades.
There's also the issue of the European Union referendum. I've always felt our EU membership is like an unhappy marriage: we need to try counselling before we divorce, and that's what Cameron's renegotiation is all about. Let's see how serious Brussels is about changing. The EU is a political construction for wealth redistribution and regulation generation completely at odds with European project's founding aim of building peace through economic activity, and I'd almost certainly vote to leave. But I want a proper national debate before any decision, and my gut instinct says that rushing a referendum makes a vote to stay in more likely – and then where will we be? Confirmed members of an EU that has little incentive to reform. So the Prime Minister is spot on: 2017 is the right date to hold the referendum.
Perhaps David Cameron will never be held in the same affection as our party's great leaders, but I can't imagine he's particularly bothered. What I imagine he does worry about is getting Britain heading in the right direction after the precarious position that Labour left us in 2010 – and he's done a pretty good job of that.
Which brings me back to my starting point. Back in the depths of 2013 I bet a particularly recalcitrant district councillor £20 that we'd be ahead in the polls in the run-up to the general election – and here we are, ahead in the polls and ready for the heat of the final weeks before polling day. Apprenticeships, transport and leadership are small fry in the bigger picture of rescuing the nation's economy. But they're indicative of a government that has taken tough decisions, improved people's lives, and put us on the right course for the years ahead. That's a record I'm proud to campaign on – and one that appeals to the heart as much as the head.
Their policy on children of immigrants shows that UKIP's mask is slipping.
Nigel Farage is getting desperate with only a few weeks to go until the election. And with that desperation, his mask is beginning to slip. In the past few weeks, UKIP have rolled out a series of increasingly nasty policies, with the goal of shoring up their campaign from falling poll ratings. And these vindictive new policies already seem to be splitting UKIP down the middle.
There's a fair bit of competition for this honour, but undoubtedly UKIP's vilest policy yet was Farage's idea that the children of immigrants shouldn't be allowed to attend state schools for 5 years after their parents enter the country. According to Farage, "they would bering dependants… after a period of time."
It's a policy of the basest kind. Not only is it morally objectionable, with the explicit aim of splitting families up and denigrating immigrants as second class citizens, it's also both unworkable and bad for the country.
Is Farage really advocating that the children of immigrants should have no education at all, other than home schooling or expensive private education? It's a recipe for ghettoisation and would work directly against integration of second generation immigrants into society. How is the NHS, for example, supposed to attract a skilled Doctor or surgeon from overseas if they thought that they would have to pay expensive private school fees on top of this, when the average price of a private school is about £13,000 a year.
The UKIP leader has claimed that if he were to take a job in the US, he would have to pay for the education of his children. Steve Peers of British Influence has shown that claim to be utterly untrue. It's against the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and there's no evidence at all that this kind of policy exists in the USA or any other Western country.
If we are to take UKIP figures at face value, you would have to assume that they would be fighting like ferrets in a sack about this policy. Take Douglas Carswell – who, despite his unwise choice of party remains a fascinating, tolerant, thought-provoking figure. In his acceptance speech in Clacton, he said that UKIP should be a "party for all Britons, first and second generation as much as every other." Last week he said that the British economy should "attract the brightest and best" from around the world." It's almost impossible to reconcile this with Farage's desire to strip the basic right of education away from the children of immigrants.
It's quite right that steps are being taken to control immigration, which impacts on public services and pushes down the wages of the low paid. That's why the government is right not to change it's immigration target. But it's one thing to say, rightly, that we should control immigration and quite another to push forward a mean, vindictive and unworkable policy such as the one Farage is proposing.
The idea that the children of immigrants should be barred from education would split up families and is a policy devoid of human decency. It's a reminder, if one were needed, of why we should be fighting UKIP hard across the country to make sure that they don't gain a foothold in the next election. The alternative is unthinkable.
Futurists, sunshine and making the choice to have control of your sunny future
Ed Conway at Sky has just tweeted this graphic showing just how unusual it is for a pre-election Budget not to be a giveaway one.
People largely expected a big rabbit to be plucked from the Chancellor's hat. But – as with every year he has been in office – we still have debts, we still have a deficit, we still have a lot to do to make up lost ground, so no giveaways, as he promised on Sunday on Andrew Marr.
And yet – this Budget does a huge amount, both practically and rhetorically. What new spending there is supports innovation. New and revised tax breaks support jobs, work, responsibility and saving. It is, as he said, about choices. It is about choosing to prepare for our future. It is about choosing to support the right things. It is about choosing to make a case for outward engagement. And it's about the choice that will face us on 7 May, and what that means next.
Choosing to prepare for our future is the thing that caught my ear. That is why I campaigned and worked for David Cameron early on, and that is why I vote Conservative. It is about creating the environment and the circumstances for opportunity to be taken advantage of by all. I have been a little gloomy about the lack of sunshine in the Tories' offer – that poster of the road needed a destination. Explaining why we are doing what we do, what it means, where it will take us – that is as important as actually doing it.
This election campaign's very strong and welcome focus on the economy, and what a successful economy means for citizens, has meant that some of the less simple but hugely important and long-term achievements of this government do not get talked about enough. But they too are essential to the choice we will make on 7 May. This Budget frames a great record and a big ambition; the choices we are making now are the right ones to prepare us for what the world is going to be like in 5, 10, 25 years time.

Historical fiction is not really a genre that I prefer. But when the hefty 450-page paperback came into my hands, I started reading the first few pages, assuming that this book would leave soon. I read the Prologue and was hooked. It took a while to go through the entire book but each day I would eagerly return to the pages, so see how the bilayered narrative developed.
Chanakya's Chant is a story about the legendary Chanakya who begins life as Vishnugupta, son of learned Chanak of the ancient kingdom of Magadha. But Chanakya's Chant is also a Sanskrit verse that is described multiple times in the modern day story that parallels the original tale. Pandit Gangasagar Mishra, a modern day Chanakya uses the powerful chant to further the political career of his protege in the sleazy world of Indian politics. The two stories are told side by side and mark the steady progression of the potential rulers, Chandragupta Maurya as leader of a united Bharat in 340 BC under Chanakya's tutelage and of Chandini Gupta, aspiring to be India's Prime Minister under the training of Mishraji.
It is an extremely well-researched book with very tight narration that keeps you glued to the pages as you learn the smart and underhanded ways in which kings are mere puppets in the hands of the kingmakers. With the uncanny ability to process reams of seemingly unrelated information, predict the behaviors of the other sides, and ruthless precision, these Chanakya's steadily advance their proteges towards the desired goal. While the historical Chanakya leaves his long hair untied until he fulfills his prophecy of avenging his father's death, the motivation of Gangasagar Mishra is not quite clear.
The author, Ashwin Sanghi, has divulged many secrets commonly known to modern-day politicians and some historical secrets like the use of the many medicinal plants available in India which can be used to harm or heal. Preying on the vices and weakness of men, even men as powerful as the great Alexander, Chanakya and his counterpart Mishra, bring about the fall of emperors and ministers, all mere pawns in the race to secure the highest position of power. One striking aspect that stands out is the fact that the art of politics is truly the Arthashastra, the science of wealth, not governance.
A must read for history buffs but highly recommended for those looking for a thrilling read as well.
Dodging two different areas this book places too many characters at one place. Untill you go full concentration, easy confusion is on the cards. Politics is rampant in the narrative which can confuse and even bore the casual reader. choose it wisely as its much heavy interpreting this one.

Back page: Bus driver arrested at high school Prom
BERKLEY, Mich. — Dozens of students from a Detroit-area school rode a party bus to the prom. But when the night ended, they were left at the curb. Police discovered that the bus driver was wanted for violating probation in an assault case. Officers learned about the arrest warrant while checking his driver's license. It was one of a few strange twists Thursday night at the Berkley High School prom. An ambulance was called to a banquet hall in Warren after two students became very ill. Berkley school district spokeswoman Jessica Stilger says students who lost their ride found other ways to get home.

Mass anomaly detected under the moon's largest crater
Discovery may contain metal from asteroid crash, Baylor University researcher says
Credit: (Credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/University of Arizona)
A mysterious large mass of material has been discovered beneath the largest crater in our solar system — the Moon's South Pole-Aitken basin — and may contain metal from the asteroid that crashed into the Moon and formed the crater, according to a Baylor University study.
"Imagine taking a pile of metal five times larger than the Big Island of Hawaii and burying it underground. That's roughly how much unexpected mass we detected," said lead author Peter B. James,
Ph.D., assistant professor of planetary geophysics in Baylor's College of Arts & Sciences.
The crater itself is oval-shaped, as wide as 2,000 kilometers — roughly the distance between Waco, Texas, and Washington, D.C. — and several miles deep. Despite its size, it cannot be seen from Earth because it is on the far side of the Moon.
The study — "Deep Structure of the Lunar South Pole-Aitken Basin" — is published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
To measure subtle changes in the strength of gravity around the Moon, researchers analyzed data from spacecrafts used for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission.
"When we combined that with lunar topography data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, we discovered the unexpectedly large amount of mass hundreds of miles underneath the South Pole-Aitken basin," James said. "One of the explanations of this extra mass is that the metal from the asteroid that formed this crater is still embedded in the Moon's mantle."
The dense mass — "whatever it is, wherever it came from" — is weighing the basin floor downward by more than half a mile, he said. Computer simulations of large asteroid impacts suggest that, under the right conditions, an iron-nickel core of an asteroid may be dispersed into the upper mantle (the layer between the Moon's crust and core) during an impact.
"We did the math and showed that a sufficiently dispersed core of the asteroid that made the impact could remain suspended in the Moon's mantle until the present day, rather than sinking to the Moon's core," James said.
Another possibility is that the large mass might be a concentration of dense oxides associated with the last stage of lunar magma ocean solidification.
James said that the South Pole-Aitken basin — thought to have been created about 4 billion years ago — is the largest preserved crater in the solar system. While larger impacts may have occurred throughout the solar system, including on Earth, most traces of those have been lost.
James called the basin "one of the best natural laboratories for studying catastrophic impact events, an ancient process that shaped all of the rocky planets and moons we see today."

The way you develop the brand of your company is going to have big impact on its overall success. Don't make the sorts of mistakes that could see everything crashing down! Your brand should be definable. If you're unable to define your brand, then you've got a pretty big problem!
The way you develop the brand of your company is going to have big impact on its overall success. Don't make the sorts of mistakes that could see everything crashing down!
Your brand should be definable. If you're unable to define your brand, then you've got a pretty big problem! Your brand isn't just how customers perceive you as a result of your business practices. Your brand is defined by the logos you use, the colour schemes you employ, the taglines and fonts and imagery and "voice" of your marketing. See your brand as a character that you can actually describe to others.
So your service is "award-winning," huh? You've got a lot of "best-selling" items in your store? You need to be careful not to seem vague when you're trying to sell your product. It should be crystal-clear what your company does. It's better that your brand communicates precisely what it is you're good at, instead of trying to inflate your company's reputation with self-congratulatory copywriting. The writing associated with your brand should be just like the general image: clear, unmistakable, with your real value proposition at front and centre.
No, they're not the same as a spokesperson. Whether the spokesperson is someone in your company (maybe even you!) or a paid celebrity, a brand ambassador is someone who is incredibly engaged in your brand. They're not just there to wear a t-shirt with your logo on it when loads of people are looking. They're there to learn about your brand intimately; they're someone who customers can engage with and connect to. Companies like Krulive can help you out with brand ambassadors if you need them.
You've got to be tough when it comes to protecting your brand. When people see the visual signs associated with your company, they should really only be thinking about your company. If some other company is stealing elements of your brand, then you need to take action. If you're not policing your brand in this way, then you could find yourself defeating the entire point of the endeavour!
Consistency is incredibly important when it comes to your brand. This is especially important when it comes to the visual styles. Your colour schemes shouldn't just up and change if the original ones are highly recognizable. A lot of companies make their logos more modern by smoothing out the edges or changing the font ever so slightly. But you'll rarely see a company actually fundamentally change the actual images. Just look at the history of the Coca-Cola logo – in nearly a century, it's never strayed too far from its original look!
Some of the biggest and best companies out there have made some serious mistakes when it came to their branding. Seriously, some of them are embarrassing. Sometimes, the best way to avoid mistakes is to learn more about the mistakes of others. Give it a read, if you can see through all your cringing.


Qualicum Beach councillor Bill Luchtmeijer wants to include the City of Parksville and Regional District of Nanaimo in the future operation of the town's airport.
He is suggesting the town create a regional airport authority, through an airport area plan.
The town currently operates the airport through the desk of corporate administrator Trudy Coates and Luchtmeijer wants to start the discussion on making a change.
Stating the town is not an airport expert, Luchtmeijer notes it has done a good job so far — but there could be improvements by adopting an airport authority to run it. An authority, he said, would stay on top of changing federal and provincial rules and include other communities in the cost of its operation.
He has asked town staff to look into the idea and how an authority could take over the airport operation.
Luchtmeijer added that in informal talks with the City of Parksville council and RDN representatives, all parties are open to having the discussion.


With the NAFTA renegotiations recently concluded, and other issues of bi-national importance still very much at the fore, it is time to assess where Canada and the United States stand in their storied, if in recent times fraught, relationship. Join our Institute Experts as they discuss the implications of the new Agreement on trade and the relationship between the two countries, as well as their general observations of the current dynamic and what the future holds.
These Experts, guided by moderator Dr. Christopher Sands of Johns Hopkins University SAIS, will discuss what comes next for the bi-national relationship. With the agreement concluded, each party country now must take the necessary steps to ratify and implement the new agreement. Will the respective executives and legislatures give their blessing to the updated trade pact? What impacts will the Agreement have on North American business and trade, both intended and unintended? Having reached an agreement after at times harsh rhetoric, what sort of relationship will these two close neighbors create moving forward? Come hear from our Institute's Law and Policy Experts on their visions, and join in the discussion of the Canada – United States legal and policy relationship.


Write a note of encouragement for someone you may not often offer encouragement to, letting them know that what they do is appreciated and does not go unnoticed, or who they are is not taken for granted.
God would place on our hearts the names of people who need to be encouraged today.
That we would not underestimate the power of even the simplest form of encouragement.
We would find opportunities to live a life of encouragement.
Thank God for hearing you.
Trust that God is at work to accomplish His will.
When I read 1 Thessalonians 5:11, I remember all the ways I have been encouraged. We all know that encouragement can come in different forms, but the most encouraging gift I ever received was the tears of the friends I made on my missions trip to Brazil when we were saying goodbye. Those tears were the most genuine thankfulness and appreciation that I have ever experienced. They showed me that what I did for them while I was there truly did impact their lives. Remembering those simple tears always encourages me to continue doing God's work and serving others despite how difficult it might be.
I also think about the notes of encouragement I have received, many of which I have kept and often reread when I need to be encouraged or challenged to do better with my life. I doubt that the people who wrote those notes know that I have kept them this long or the impact they've had. Its easy to forget the impact a few simple words can have.
I find encouragement can be easy to give, but still I often struggle to know how best to give it. The best way I've learned to be an encouragement to others is to live a life of encouragement where everything I do would somehow encourage or help those close to me. I pray that we can all find ways to better live selfless lives of encouragement that will impact those around us in ways we may never know.

Civil Case 13 of 2019
Nancy Kemunto Mogeni v Invesco Assurance Company Limited [2020] eKLR
Nancy Kemunto Mogeni v Invesco Assurance Company Limited
High Court at Kisii
Anthony Ndung'u Kimani
Application dismissed.
IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT KISII
CIVIL CASE NO 13 OF 2019
NANCY KEMUNTO MOGENI.......................................PLAINTIFF/APPLICANT
INVESCO ASSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED...DEFENDANT/RESPONDENT
1. The application before me is a Notice of Motion dated 19th December 2019 seeking the following orders:
2.The execution process commenced against the applicant in Kisi CMCC No 253 of 2014 be stayed pending the hearing and determination of this application or in the alternative;
3.Pending the hearing and determination of this application, the honourable court be pleased to issue an interim injunction restraining the defendant, its servant or agents or otherwise howsoever manner breaching the policy agreement or statutory duty in respect to the judgment in KISII CMCC No 253 of 2014 between Jane Bochere Mavhini v Nancy Kemunto Mogeni (the applicant herein).
4.Pending the hearing and determination of this application the honourable (sic) be pleased to issue a temporary injunction restraining the defendant from breaching the policy agreement and/or statutory duty in respect to satisfy judgment in Kisii CMCC No 253 of 2014.
5. Any other suitable or further orders to be made as the court may deem just.
2. The applicant filed an affidavit in support of the application on grounds that she is the registered owner of motor vehicle No KBC 716C Toyota Hiace (Matatu) which was involved in a road traffic accident on 30th August 2013 at Nyatieko area along Kisii Kisumu road while carrying passengers who sustained bodily harm. By a policy of insurance No. 055/084/1/000807/201/03TPO commencing on 7th August 2013 to 6th September 2013, the respondent was required to cover any liability or bodily injury caused to any person arising from the use of the motor vehicle. The applicant averred that the respondent was under a statutory obligation by virtue of section 10 of the Insurance (Motor Vehicle Third Party Risk) Act, Cap 450 Laws of Kenya to satisfy judgments arising out of such accident. She advanced that several suits were filed against her and two have been fully heard and determined and judgment entered against her.
3. The applicant further averred that the judgment in Kisii CMCC NO 251 of 2014 was partially satisfied by the defendant. However on 1st October 2015 after her motor vehicle had been attached and advertised for sale, the applicant was forced to pay Kshs 250,000/- towards the remaining balance to procure the release of the attached vehicle. She deposed that judgment has also been entered against her in respect of Kisii CMCC No 253 of 2014 but the respondent has failed to satisfy the judgment thus breaching the policy agreement and its contractual obligations. The applicant deposed that there is a risk that she may be committed to civil jail as she has been served with a notice to show cause and warrants of arrest in execution in respect of Kisii CMCC No 253 of 2014.
4. Despite being served with the application the respondent failed to file a response.
5. On 13th February 2020 this court directed that the application be disposed by way of written submissions. Although no written submission were filed, Mr. Bosire counsel for the appellant made submissions that he prays for the orders sought in the application.
6. I have carefully considered the application before me, the evidence that is on record and find that the applicant took up an insurance policy cover number 055/084/1/000807/201/03TPO.
7. Section 10 (1) of the Insurance (Motor Vehicle Third Party Risk) Act provides as follows;
"10. Duty of insurer to satisfy judgments against persons insured
(1) If, after a policy of insurance has been effected, judgment in respect of any such liability as is required to be covered by a policy under paragraph (b) of section 5 (being a liability covered by the terms of the policy) is obtained against any person insured by the policy, then notwithstanding that the insurer may be entitled to avoid or cancel, or may have avoided or cancelled, the policy, the insurer shall, subject to the provisions of this section, pay to the persons entitled to the benefit of the judgment any sum payable thereunder in respect of the liability, including any amount payable in respect of costs and any sum payable in respect of interest on that sum by virtue of any enactment relating to interest on judgments.
Provided that the sum payable under a judgment for a liability pursuant to this section shall not exceed the maximum percentage of the sum specified in section 5(b) prescribed in respect thereof in the Schedule."
8. Section 10(1) of the Insurance (Motor Vehicle Third Party Risk) Act imposes a duty on the respondent to satisfy judgments against persons insured such as the applicant. In this case, the respondent failed to file its response to the application therefore the evidence as per the applicant's supporting affidavit remains uncontroverted and therefore unchallenged. The respondent's failure to pay the full decretal sums arising out of Kisii CMCC No 253 of 2014 and Kisii 251 of 2014 where judgment had been entered against the applicant constitutes breach of contract.
9. The applicant in his application seeks injunctive orders. The locus classicus case of Giella v Cassman Brown Co. Ltd 1973 E.A. 358 discussed the conditions to be met before an interlocutory injunction can be granted by stating as follows;
"First, an applicant must show a prima facie case with a probability of success. Secondly, an interlocutory injunction will not normally be granted unless the applicant might otherwise suffer irreparable harm which would not adequately be compensated by an award of damages. Thirdly, if the court is in doubt, it will decide an application on a balance of convenience."
10. Although the applicant has satisfied the principles on grant of interlocutory injunctions as set out Giella v Cassman Brown, I find that prayer 4 and 5 which he seeks in his application are spent as they are orders applicable during the pendency of the hearing and determination of this instant application. Further, the orders sought in the application only relate to the judgment Kisii CMCC No 253 of 2014 and does not seek any orders pertaining to Kisii 251 of 2014.
11. The Notice of Motion dated 19th December 2019 is one for dismissal as it seeks no substantive prayers and the prayers in the application have also been overtaken by events.
Dated and Delivered at KISII this 11th day of November, 2020
