We are happy to process your insurance claims to maximize your benefits. Since insurance can be confusing, we ask that you call or contact us with specific questions. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services and allow them 45 days to render payment. After 45 days, you are responsible for the entire balance, paid-in-full.

Q: Addition of big decimal values in javascript for calculating distance on google map I am a fresher in coding and working on web designing on googlemap. I have a problem in finding total distance covered by user because i am using a formula for finding distance and then adding this distance one by one.The distance is like 0.41384640620101654 so when i am adding number of values of this type it is giving 0 or error.
here is my code
      getDistance();

             var mn = 0.00;
            function getDistance()
             {

                 for (var i = 0; i < polyline_data.length-1; i++)
             {
                 $lngfrom = polyline_data[i].lng;
                 $lngto = polyline_data[i+1].lng;
                 $latfrom = polyline_data[i].lat;
                 $latto = polyline_data[i+1].lat;
                 $theta = $lngfrom - $lngto;
                    var pi = Math.PI;
                    var x = $latfrom * (pi/180);
                    var y = $latto * (pi/180);
                    var z = $theta * (pi/180);
                 var dist = new Array();
                 var distance = Math.sin(x) * Math.sin(y)+ Math.cos(x) * Math.cos(y) * Math.cos(z);
                 distance = Math.acos(distance);
                 distance = distance*(180/pi);

                var miles = distance * 60 * 1.8515;
                 distance = miles * 1.609344;
                  distance = parseFloat(distance);
                  //distance = Math.round(distance);
                  //dist = dist.push(distance);
                  //distance+=distance;

        console.log(distance);

    //console.log(all);

            //console.log(distance);
             }

    //var all = new Array();

Megarhyssa greenei, also known as Greene's giant ichneumonid wasp, is a species of large ichneumon wasp. It is known from the United States and Canada.

Description and identification
It is very similar in appearance to Megarhyssa macrurus, but the latter species has a relatively longer ovipositor (about 2x the total body length, where greenei is only slightly greater than 1x), and usually has more extensive dark wing markings. M. greenei also lacks the dark striping on the face present on M. macrurus.

Ecology
M. greenei is a parasitoid wasp, and its host is Tremex columba, a sawfly.

How is it Friday already? Days are rushing along. it is actually only 3 months till we should be given the Ripple Retreat and then pretty it up inside and really get started on the garden. Not long at all!
While Ian and I can and do work pretty hard on all things Ripple Retreat there are still lots of things It's Good 2 Give to deal with too. Finally, finally, today we finished the filing – and how tidy the office looks now. I ordered little christmas trees today for our Xmas Afternoon Tea, worked on Blingo a wee bit, ordered lanyards, tried my hardest for hours to design an invitation and then decided that Event Brite was the answer – only to have it lose my first draft. That's not fair, is it? Ok, I lost the first draft probably! Anyway, after 3 hours I got it done. Now to start sending it out. We are limited for space on the day itself so it will be a small affair.
I am also working on the four weeks we will be open to the public – well I say public – it still has to be by invitation – as space really is limited. But we do want as many people as possible to see what they have helped create. It's a varied life at the moment for sure.
As I was tidying today I found our recycling box for mobile phones – it is half full and it would be so good to get it filled up and sent off – wee bit more money in the bank would be nice. So, if you have an old mobile, do send it our way!
Update on prize requests – the wonderful Rupert at James Morrow has offered prizes for events this year and I chatted to a new distillery in Callander who have offered to help us too. We are now up to 75 prizes in – only another 175 to get then! Again, if you know anyone who might donate a prize or experience or auction item or sponsor part of an event, oh please do send them my way.
I would also love to get more followers – on this blog, twitter (@itsgood2give) facebook, (itsgood2give), instagram (itsgood2give) so if you can help do that – it would be much appreciated.
My weekend plans include writing a newsletter, more prize request letters, writing a business plan for 2017/18, updating the website, and a lot of baking and soup making (for my parents and a friend in need of tlc).
Have a wonderful weekend folks but do keep reading!
There's nothing better than a get together with friends – apart from, that is, a get together that doubles as a fundraiser!
Caroline Cowan held a ladies night at Colinton Bowling Club and raised a huge £900 for It's Good 2 Give. The festivities included dancing, fun photos (see below) and a raffle with prizes donated by local businesses. From what we've heard, a good time was had by all – and all for a good cause!
Thank you to Caroline, and to everyone who attended, for their wonderful donation and also for showing how fundraising can (and should) be fun!
This morning I undertook my first official task as an It's Good 2 Give ambassador. I was strangely apprehensive before, most likely due to my aversion to having my photo taken, or because of the worry that I would say something wrong, or forget to carry out an essential part of the task. Representing something other than just myself suddenly felt like a big responsibility.
After triple checking that I hadn't forgotten my name badge or giant laminated cheque, I hopped in the car and headed down to Westwoods Health Club to collect £260.74 that they had raised for us through a collection box at their birthday party earlier this month. I was greeted with a warm welcome at reception, had a lovely chat with the assistant manager, Colin, and then, after a minor setback trying to track down a whiteboard marker, he handed over the donation, we got a few pictures taken (to ensure there was at least one where I wasn't blinking) and my work there was done! It was really nothing worth worrying about.
When speaking to the staff at Westwoods we found out that the money was raised in honour of Stella Anderson Scott who sadly lost her three year battle with cancer earlier this year. During her illness, Stella raised thousands of pounds for children's cancer charities. Learning about Stella's story really touched me, her bravery and strength is so inspiring. She managed to raise a huge amount of money in aid of other young cancer patients, all whilst fighting her own illness. If Stella can do all that whilst undergoing treatment, we all have the time and ability to do our little bit! Stories like Stella's make me even more glad I got involved in It's Good 2 Give and do my bit to help, and I would encourage everyone and anyone to do the same!
Perfect for a cup of tea or coffee our Ripple Retreat mugs have the outline of the Ripple Retreat on them.
we have two colours available – black and our own burgundy colour.
£8 each or two for £15 and we have packaging and can post out.
P and P would be charged at cost – £2 per mug.
Get in touch soon if you would like to buy one.
We have 20 regular individual donors and 1 company donor – our It's Good 2 Givers.
We need more! It's our own fault we don't have more because we need to advertise it more.
We have three ways of giving – via a monthly standing order through our bank, Unity Trust bank – or via a regular monthly donation through Virgin Money Giving.
And thirdly through payroll giving.
We can send you a standing order form and a gift aid form so we can claim gift aid on your monthly donation. Email me for those forms.
The link to Virgin Money giving is here and there is the option to make a regular donation and gift aid is taken care of for you/us when you tick the box!
We welcome all donations as you know so if anyone is up for joining our It's Good 2 Givers Club that would be wonderful.
Our regular Givers donate £5 – £10 per month each and our Company Giver, Timberbush Tours, donates between £100 and £150 per month.
It all adds up very nicely!
Thanks so much to our wonderful It's Good 2 Givers – silent but much appreciated donors, every one.
Helping us provide practical support to young cancer patients and the families who love them.
When the first European explorers came to the edge of the Grand Canyon on their search for El Dorado, in 1540, they literally had no idea what they saw. The visual vocabulary for a gorge a mile deep, six miles wide and 277 miles long was simply not available; the distances were deceptive, the scale unimaginable.
On this challenge you descend into one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, the heart of the Grand Canyon at Havasu Canyon, where we will hike and explore this incredible landscape, crossing travertine pools of turquoise blue, spending evenings under the stars camping.
Some say you haven't lived until you've taken a journey through the Grand Canyon. This challenging adventure will leave you with a sense of accomplishment, awe and a true appreciation and love of the grandest place on earth.
That is what we ask of you but what do we give you?
Well, first of all, the knowledge that your fundraising helps our charity support young cancer patients and their families. We organise get togethers – social, informative and the occasional training walk. We have a private Facebook group page where trekkers can chat with each other sharing ideas and get to know each other a little bit before the actual trek.
Our trek provider is Ultimate Challenges – you can read more about our trek here.
What? Climb the Sierra Nevada mountains in Spain. A short, sharp, amazing trek and we are giving you plenty of time to train and fundraise!
Join us by climbing Spain's highest peak – Mulhacen at 3,482m – to raise money for Scotland's young cancer patients and their families. Sheltered valleys, lush green gorges, winding watercourses, cultivated terraces and high-mountain villages – are the beautiful foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Las Alpujarras are located in Andalucia, southern Spain. This stunning 3-day challenge takes in the highest peaks in the Sierra Nevada range, including Mulhacén, the highest mountain on the Iberian Peninsula at 3482 m!
all participants must pay their own way (approx £875*) and in addition, raise a minimum of £300 for it's good 2 give.
**£775 plus Other Costs- £100 airport taxes and fuel surcharges- please note airport taxes are approximate and will be confirmed at time of booking flights.
Join us for the day to climb the UK's highest mountain – Ben Nevis at 4,416 feet – and support Scotland's new up and coming charity helping young cancer patients and their families.
leave Edinburgh early morning by minibus and return late evening with professional Mountain Leaders led climb in between.

Walt Hansgen
Walt Hansgen didn't begin his motorsports career until 1951, when he was 31 years old. He tragically passed away just 15 years later in a testing accident. But those 15 years were magical.
Like so many, a friend brought Mr. Hansgen, then working at his family's body shop in New Jersey, to his first SCCA event. He was hooked.
He developed the Hangen Special and drove it to his first SCCA National win in 1953.
For the next many years Walt continued his winning ways in SCCA, driving his cars and those of others, as well as developing a reputation on the international racing circuit. He was the SCCA National Champion in C Modified for four consecutive years from 1956-1959. In 1957, he was awarded the President's Cup for the first of three times, adding ones in 1958 and 1961. In 1957, Mr. Hansgen was named "The Best Driver of the Year" by the New York Times, and Sports Illustrated named him "U.S. Sports Car Driver of the Year."
Already a regular at Sebring and Daytona, Mr. Hansgen ran Le Mans for the first time in 1959. By the early 60s, he had sprinkled in the US Grand Prix, the Mexican Grand Prix, and a handful of Indy 500 starts, as well as the SCCA Pro Racing USRRC.
Off the track, Mr. Hansgen was a strong contributor. He helped found the Road Race Driver's Club, and served as President for four terms. He was a track safety inspector for SCCA, and developed curriculum for teaching new drivers. He served on the National competition board while still an active racer.
At the time of his death, President and SCCA Hall of Famer John Bishop said that "Racing has lost its best friend. I don't know of anyone so well liked and respected by other drivers. Walt was never too busy to stop and help them."
A tribute written at the time of his death said that "SCCA competitors probably will never appreciate how great a contribution Walt made towards improving the club's racing program, safety standards, and competition rules during his four years on the club's Competition Board."

Q: Метод фильтрует массив, оставляя только четные числа По заданию нужно написать метод для возвращения массива только с четными числами.
осталось последнее задание. Никак не пойму как мне вернуть этот самый массив. return происходит после цикла for, а что записать в if? всю голову сломал, интернет перекопал.пробовал новый массив создать с нужными числами,но тоже не получается. не понимаю как добавить в новый массив четные числа.
@Override
public int[] getEvenDigits(int[] values) {
    for (int i = 0; i < values.length - 1; i++) {
        if ( values[i] % 2 == 0) {

        }
    }
    return values;
}

A: в if-е добавляй получившиеся элементы в отдельный массив с только четными числами

A: import  java.util.Arrays;

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] arr = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};

        int[] even = getEvenDigits(arr);

        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(even));
    }

    public static int[] getEvenDigits(int[] values) {
        int j = 0;
        int[] even = new int[values.length];

        for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
            if (values[i] % 2 == 0) {
                even[j] = values[i];
                j++;
            }
        }
        return Arrays.copyOf(even, j);
    }
}


Lisa at Parry & Son was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping me to make the important decision on life insurance. She took the confusion out of the choices and was very accomodating in working with my busy schedule.
The Parry Agency handles both my home and auto insurance policies, their customer service is outstanding. Being that I am a first time home buyer I knew very little about insurance. They informed me of all of my options and even have their own agency recommendations. I now have the peace of mind knowing my limits and how the policy responds should anything happen. Being a first time buyer of insurance their premiums are quite competitive. I whole-heartedly recommend Parry and Son to anyone and everyone!

Ring Ring! Anyone there?
CFL Free Agency started yesterday and boy did it hit hard for the Ottawa Redblacks.
To sum it all up, the Redblacks essentially lost the entirety of their offence.
So we're gonna be giving you a complete list of who's in, who's out, what to know, and what to expect.
Who's out?
Trevor Harris (QB): Signed with Edmonton Eskimos (2 years, 1.1 Mil)
This was honestly the most shocking signing for me, as I really expected Trevor to re-sign with Ottawa. Despite his shortcomings, Trevor was a really solid quarterback who fit in really well with the Redblacks culture.
Trevor Harris is a dangerously accurate passer. He had the best completion percentage in the league and a solid TD to Interception ratio. However, his biggest problem is mobility. Trevor Harris takes a lot of time before passing, and that often led to sacks. The Redblacks were second worst in QB protection in 2018, behind Montreal. If Harris gets a strong Offensive line to protect him, he will be very dangerous, especially considering that he'll be playing with…
Greg Ellingson (WR): Signed with Edmonton Eskimos
I've always said that a quarterback is only as good as his receivers, and now arguably our best receiver will now be playing for Edmonton. Ellingson was always reliable when you needed him. Ellingson cemented himself as part of Redblacks lore after the miracle on Bank street. It's unfortunate to see such an important player leave the team. This is probably the biggest loss for the Redblacks at this point. Ellingson was supposedly persuaded by Harris to sign with Edmonton.
SirVincent Rogers (OL): Signed with Edmonton Eskimos
Another big loss to Edmonton is one of our top offensive linemen, SirV. He was a veteran Redblacks that has been there since day 1. It seems as though relationships deteriorated between Rogers and the Redblacks management, because Rogers visibly wanted to stay in Ottawa. He even said earlier in 2018 that he really wanted to complete his entire career with one team. It is safe to assume that this particular signing was entirely on the hands of the Redblacks management. If the Redblacks wanted SirVincent Rogers to return, he would've been playing for Ottawa in 2019.
Well, at least if Edmonton wins the cup, they can attribute most of their success to Ottawa right?
William Powell (RB): Signed with Saskatchewan Roughriders (2 years)
The best running back in the league will be heading towards Regina in 2019. Yes, I know, Andrew Harris had more rushing yards than Powell in 2018, however, Harris played two more games than Powell, and only had around 12 more yards than Powell.
Regardless, I think Powell will fit in very well with the Roughriders and their run-heavy style of offence.
Diontae Spencer (WR): Released to sign with Pittsburgh Steelers in NFL.
While not a Free Agency loss, still an important departure from the Redblacks roster. We wich him all the best down south.
So that about sums it up for the departures. So who did the Redblacks sign to counter their losses?
Well… almost no one.
Who's in?
Jonathon Jennings (QB): Former BC Lion (1 year contract)
Welcome aboard JJ!
Jennings has been for the most part Travis Lulay's backup. He played nearly half the season as a starter when Lulay was injured.
But Jennings has been… less than spectacular. He is notorious for throwing interceptions.
He has a career record of 66 touchdowns and 51 interceptions. Those are NOT good numbers.
It's hard to tell how Jennings will adapt to Ottawa. I think offering him only a 1 year contract is the right thing to do as I really don't think Jennings will make for a suitable long-term Quarterback. Another worrying thing is that Jennings, like Harris, is not a very mobile quarterback. If the Redblacks don't add some solid pieces to their offensive line, I don't think Jennings will perform well in Ottawa.
What now for the Redblacks?
All of the big names in the league have been signed, and honestly, the Redblacks have run out of options. We've seen a lot of big departures, and almost no signings to compensate, which is worrying.
Let's start with the Quarterback.
The truth is, the Redblacks were seriously unprepared in the QB department because Harris was supposed to be a long-term player. Ever since he signed with Ottawa in 2016, he has been groomed as THE long-term quarterback for Ottawa. Now that he is gone, a huge hole has been left. There are a few possibilities as to what will be the QB situation in Ottawa this year. From most likely to least likely we have:
1- Dominique Davis (backup in 2018) will start.
Considering the amount of money paid to Jonathon Jennings, I don't think the Redblacks have the intention of starting Jennings. Personally, I think this is the best realistic option for the team. Trevor Harris was very well protected in 2019, and so Davis had barely any playing time all season. It's hard to gauge his performance based on a single game. However, during that single game he played exceptionally well, adapting to different situations, executing special plays very well, and being precise in his plays. The only concern here is the uncertainty, as Davis is not a very known player. He does have the potential to become a long-term player in Ottawa.
2- Jonathon Jennings starts. Unlike Davis, Jennings has a ton of experience, and we know what to expect from him. Unfortunately, we can't expect anything very good. I don't see Jennings as a viable long-term option for the Redblacks. If he does start, the Redblacks will have to restart the entire quarterback process once he leaves. I don't think Jennings will stay for a second year.
3- Kevin Glenn comes to town. It's supposed to be a joke, but Kevin Glenn really is the guy that has played for every team. Nothing has been decided yet, but rumour has it the Redblacks are interested in Kevin Glenn. If the Redblacks do sign Glenn, chances are he isn't going to be the starter. He would most likely have been offered a contract earlier if that were the case.
Other things of note
John Gott still hasn't been re-signed, so it is likely he will not be staying with Ottawa through 2019. Unfortunate given he was also a day 1 Redblack.
Lauzon-Seguin, Leone, Madu, Rose, all re-signed. Ottawa's defence has stayed mostly intact.
What should the Redblacks do?
This is gonna sound crazy, but I truly think the Redblacks should look into acquiring the Alouettes backup QB, Antonio Pipkin.
Seriously! How have these guys not picked up on the talent this guy has??
Pipkin is a tough, mobile, young quarterback that is very dangerous on his feet. I truly think with a few more years of experience, he will become an elite quarterback someday. Pipkin is still under contract with the Alouettes, and I don't think the Redblacks are looking into trading him, so this option is most likely only a fantasy for me.
With the severe losses the Redblacks have seen with their offence, I think a change of offensive strategy will be needed in 2019. The Redblacks are known for a high-flying throwing offence. I suggest they scale back on the throwing and focus on a strong, potent, running game. Sign some good O-linemen, sign some good Runningbacks and focus on these guys. I think the Redblacks's best bet at this point is go go with a run-based style like that of the Roughriders.
What about the rest of the league?
I expected Mike Reilly to sign with the Argonauts, as they are the team which most desperately need a good quarterback. I also briefly expected the Redblacks to end up with Zach Collaros.
Unfortunately, Bo Levi Mitchell has re-signed with the Calgary Stampeders, which means we will have to once again deal with him in 2019.
Overall, day 1 of free agency has seen a lot of movement in the west and nothing in the east. All of the big names are in the west: Mike Reilly, Bo Mitchell, Greg Ellingson, William Powell, SirVincent Rogers, Justin Medlock, Davaris Daniels, Odel Willis. The East has been left to pick up the scraps.
The west division will once again be completely overpowered. I guarantee you that the 4th place team in the west will be better than the best on the east.
Overall, Edmonton signed the entirety of the Redblacks, BC has acquired some good key players, Calgary has also gotten a few good players, Saskatchewan has lost a few guys, Toronto and Hamilton have been busy re-signing all of their guys , Montreal has taken a few steps to improve and Ottawa forgot to pick up the phone.

U.S. JOBS RELAPSE RAISES FRESH DOUBTS ON FED TIGHTENING / THE TELEGRAPH

US jobs relapse raises fresh doubts on Fed tightening
Long-feared turning point in the global monetary cycle may be delayed yet again, offering another reprieve for dollar debtors across the world.
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, in Washington
7:38PM BST 01 May 2015

A key indicator of manufacturing jobs in the US has dropped to its lowest level since the financial crisis as industry remains stuck in the doldrums, dashing hopes for a swift rebound after the economy ground to a halt in the first quarter.
The surprisingly weak data greatly reduce any likelihood the US Federal Reserve will raise rates in June for the first time in eight years, once again putting off the long-feared turning point in the global monetary cycle and perhaps offering another reprieve for dollar debtors across the world.
The closely-watched index of the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) remained anaemic in April, confirming fears that the strong US dollar and energy crash in the once-booming shale states are taking a serious toll.
The employment component dropped sharply to 48.3, below the "boom-bust line" of 50 and the lowest in almost six years. The relapse is likely to set off alarm bells at the Fed, where chairman Janet Yellen pays very close attention to the labour market.
Overall manufacturing output failed to pick up as expected, remaining at a two-year low of 51.5, and looks too weak to power a full recovery in the second quarter.
ISM jobs index
There is now a clear risk that the US economy may slow to "stall speed" under the Fed's model, defined as a "slow-growth phase at the end of expansions before falling into a recession".
This would be ominous at a time when the developed world has yet to shake off the legacy of the Lehman crisis, is struggling with record debt ratios and has already used up most of its fiscal and monetary ammunition. This time the "Bric" nations - Brazil, Russia, India and China - are also in trouble, and cannot easily step into the breach with fresh stimulus.
There is now a clear risk that the US economy may slow to 'stall speed'
A separate report by Markit found that US manufacturing output in April fell to its lowest level this year, depressed by declining exports.
Markit's Chris Williamson said the survey follows a "growing clutch of disappointing numbers" that will force the Fed to hold back until a clearer picture emerges.
"Any policy tightening looks likely to be deferred until at least September," he said.
Warren Buffett, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, said the Fed is caught in a bind.
Quantitative easing in Europe has created a huge gap in yield differentials, driving funds across the Atlantic into the US debt markets and driving up the dollar. Any Fed tightening would risk making matters worse.
"I think it would be very hard for the Fed to bump rates up here with negative rates in Europe," Mr Buffett told CNBC.
The weak jobs data will revive a row over how strong the US labour market really is. The unemployment rate has almost halved to 5.5pc and job vacancies are - on paper - more abundant than they were at the peak of the pre-Lehman boom. The number of people claiming jobless benefits fell to a 11-year low of 262,000 last week.
Yet wages have failed to pick up as expected. Average pay growth for non-supervisory workers has languished at 1.6pc over the past year and has actually slowed to a rate of 0.8pc in the past three months.
"There is more slack than meets the eye," said the International Monetary Fund.
Huge numbers of people dropped out of the workforce after the financial crisis and have yet to be drawn back into the system.
The labour participation rate is still at a 37-year low of 62.7pc. The rate for males has dropped from 73.8pc to 69.3pc since 2007, a drastic fall that cannot be fully explained by changing technology or "structural" problems.
A new paper by Danny Blanchflower and Andrew Levin for the National Bureau of Economic Research argues that there are still large numbers of people with part-time jobs who want to work full-time. Once all forms of "hidden unemployment" are included, the shortfall reaches 3.3m jobs. The real unemployment rate is around 7.5pc.
This means the US is still a long way from the inflexion point when a tight labour market sets off a wage spiral. "Monetary policy tightening would be premature at the present time. Indeed, such a policy move would be a serious mistake," the paper stated.
Mr Blanchflower said the Fed will not be able to raise rates this year, whatever the hawks may suggest. The paper may reflect the broad thinking of Ms Yellen, who tracks an array of under-employment indicators and is likely to move with great caution under her "balanced approach rule".
The futures markets have now pushed out the first rate rise to September. Citigroup doubts that there will be any action until December.
The crucial confirmation either way will come next week with the release of non-farm payroll data. If the jobs market fails to recover yet again it will be impossible to keep blaming the relapse on a polar winter.
The cherry blossoms have already been and gone in Washington. We are in May.

The IRS is sending postcards to millions of small businesses to tell them about the healthcare tax credit.
Important news for entrepreneurs is on its way. The IRS has begun mailing postcards to make small businesses aware of the benefits of the recently enacted healthcare tax credit. More than four million small firms and tax-exempt organizations will receive the mailing.
The credit, which was included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act approved by Congress and signed by the president, is among the first of the reform provisions to go into effect. It is designed to encourage small employers to offer or maintain health insurance coverage.
Commissioner Doug Shulman said that the IRS "want[s] to make sure small employers across the nation realize that - effective this tax year - they may be eligible for a valuable new tax credit." He said that the postcard mailing is "intended to get the attention of small employers."
The credit is generally available to small employers covering at least half of single coverage costs for employees in 2010.
Postcards are just one aspect of a campaign by the White House to educate small business owners about the tax credit. The IRS will also contact tax professionals on its mailing list and hold more than 1,000 tax workshops and forums nationwide.
Our entrepreneur news feed is packed with the latest news for small business startups and entrepreneurs. Learn about small business management, financing, marketing & technology.


Boards usually have one board member deal with the association attorney which usually is the President. When the board member goes to the attorney to have a lawsuit filed against an owner for enforcement of a violation that has not been corrected. The board must vote to bring the lawsuit with a majority vote. But the board member that goes to the lawyer says the board voted to bring the suit with the majority vote but lied because there was no board vote. I believe that the attorney should ask for the minutes of the meeting with the vote and be signed by the secretary for proof of the vote.
Must the attorney have proof of the vote?
If the attorney did not get proof and filed the suit could he be liable?
The board member or members can be liable for bringing the suit for lying.

We鈥檙e going back in time Anton Stralman Jersey , to last offseason. The 2017 offseason seemed like the聽most exciting聽one yet, until it got even better this year. But, there were still some pretty decent names that were signed last year. And there are 20 specific players, who may have not signed with the best possible team.
Year after year, players make the decision to sign with a team, and either fit with the system there, or are unhappy. It happens, we鈥檙e all humans and all make mistakes. And sometimes, these players just don鈥檛 choose the right team that they would want to sign with.
So, we go back in time, and see where each player would have rather signed. There are definitely players that regret signing with the team they were with Joonas Donskoi Jersey , or still may be. So, if they could do it all over again, who would they sign with? There are a good number of players that would stay with the team that they are with, but there are many that would change their decision. You never know how a decision will impact you, until you go through with it and see the repercussions of what you did. And by now, these players should know what they got themselves in to.
There鈥檚 probably more than 20 players who feel a certain way about the team they signed with, but these are the 20 names that stand out amongst them all. Where would these players be better fitted if they didn鈥檛 sign with the team they were or are still with from the 2017 offseason?
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars might have lost their No. 1 receiver for the season.
Marqise Lee, who led the team in receptions in 2017, injured his left knee in a 17-6 victory against Atlanta in the preseason Saturday night and could be out for the year.
Lee was carted off the field in the first quarter after Falcons cornerback Damontae Kazee went helmet-first into his knee and then twisted his leg. Lee fumbled on the play, but it was overturned because Kazee was flagged for leading with his helmet.
Coach Doug Marrone said "obviously it looked bad Youth Derek Stepan Jersey ," adding that Lee will have tests Sunday to determine the extent of the injury. Teammates sounded resigned to Lee being sidelined an extended period, maybe even the entire season.
"That's tough," Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles said. "You hate to see anytime, especially in the preseason, and to a guy like that who's been through what he's been through and plays with the passion that he does, and everything that he's put into this team and getting ready for this season. … It's tough to see."
Lee was clearly in pain as he got helped onto the cart. Teammates and coaches walked across the field to offer well-wishes as he left the field.
It was the kind of preseason injury that leaves everyone on both sidelines shaking their heads.
"At the end of the day, we've got to come together as a team, as a unit and pick up where he left off," fellow receiver Dede Westbrook said.
"Everybody's got to step up," Jaguars receiver Donte Moncrief added. "Everybody in the room's got to be ready to go, from the young guys to me. He was one of the big roles in the offense."
Lee had 56 catches for 702 yards and three touchdowns last season. He signed a four-year http://www.officialcanucks.com/authentic-adidas-henrik-sedin-jersey , $34 million contract in March that included $16.5 million guaranteed.
A second-round draft pick from USC in 2014, Lee has 171 catches for 2,166 yards and eight touchdowns. He missed games because of various injuries in three of his four seasons.
If Lee misses time this fall, the Jaguars would rely on second-year pros Keelan Cole and Westbrook, one-year rental Moncrief and rookie DJ Chark.
WINLESS FALCONS
Atlanta managed 96 yards in the first half and 261 for the game. The Falcons have lost all three preseason games.
Matt Ryan completed 5 of 12 passes for 57 yards. Tevin Coleman ran seven times for 38 yards, with 22 of those coming on one scamper.
"When you're going against a good defense, that's how the game is going to shake out," Ryan said. "You're going to have your opportunities at times to make plays. I don't think we came away with all of them, but we certainly made some good ones as well."
The bright spots for Atlanta were two interceptions against Blake Bortles, who played into the third quarter and finished 17 of 23 for 204 yards. Bortles was picked once on a tipped ball and another on a pass that sailed wide of a receiver.
ANTHEM PROTEST
Jaguars All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Pro Bowl linebacker Telvin Smith remained in the locker room during the national anthem. Smith has skipped the anthem in each of the team's three preseason games. Ramsey was suspended for last week's exhibition at Minnesota, not for anything related to the anthem.
PRESEASON DEBUT
Falcons placekicker Matt Bryant made his preseason debut after sitting out the first two games with an undisclosed injury. The 43-year-old Bryant drilled a 47-yard field goal to cap the opening drive and later added a 33-yarder.
The Jaguars had two players make their preseason debut. 2017 All-Pro guard Andrew Norwell (calf) and defensive lineman Taven Bryan (abdomen) Justin Faulk Jersey , a first-round pick from Florida, missed the first two exhibitions. Bryan's best play was batting down a pass in the closing minutes.
SITTING OUT
Receiver Marvin Hall, guard Ben Garland, cornerback Desmond Trufant, safety Ricardo Allen and linebacker Deion Jones sat out for Atlanta with minor injuries.
The Jaguars were without six players: cornerback A.J. Bouye (illness), center Brandon Linder (knee), safety Ronnie Harrison (hamstring), linebacker Donald Payne (hip), defensive tackle Eli Ankou (knee) and defensive end Dawuane Smoot (foot).
Atlanta hosts Miami to end the preseason Thursday.
Jacksonville plays at Tampa Bay on Thursday.

How to Implement SEL: Example from Jefferson Parish
by Where Learning Clicks
In recognition of the critical role that social and emotional learning (SEL) plays in promoting student success and well-being, Governor John Bel Edwards provided all of Louisiana's middle- and high-school students access to online SEL courses through Edgenuity and Purpose Prep earlier this year. "We must support our students through the uncertainty of today's environment. Their ability to learn well depends not only on instruction, but also on a sense of belonging, positive relationships and the feedback they receive," said Governor Edwards. "As students have been disrupted from their school routine and disconnected from their teachers, social and emotional support and skills are more essential than ever."
Jefferson Parish, the largest in Louisiana, was quick to recognize the value of adding SEL curriculum to assist their diverse population of students through the trauma of the pandemic. Starting with the students in the alternative schools and programs as well as schools with high suspension rates, also identified as Urgent Intervention Required-Discipline (UIR-D) schools, the parish is empowering teachers with SEL curriculum as an additional tool to develop or improve relationships with students. Executive Director of Special Programs Darvell Edwards is crafting an SEL program in the parish that focuses on building relationships and flexible implementations that can vary from school to school. Edwards works closely with the teams to utilize Restorative Approaches, Conscious Discipline, and other programs to develop strong relationships with the students and their families. She says that SEL "adds another level of depth to that process."
How to Implement SEL Throughout the Parish
Edwards is quick to say that all students can benefit from this curriculum, and she is making it available to every school throughout the parish with her SEL implementation rollout. By hosting professional development with intervention specialists, lead teachers, and social workers positioned in schools throughout the parish, Edwards is building a culture of SEL throughout the district and making tools available to everyone. "We don't want to look at this as just intervention for students with challenges, but also as a means to help as many students and families as we can."
"We can't assume that kids come to school with these skills. When a student is disrespectful, we have to go back and teach them how to show respect. What does that look like? What does disrespect look like? And we have to understand that some kids just don't have an appropriate means to express their frustrations in a way to feel heard. We have to build that environment for them," Edwards explains. Some educators are naturally better at helping students in these areas, but a standardized SEL curriculum like Purpose Prep's enables Jefferson Parish to reach as many students as possible.
Jefferson Parish has a mix of in-school, online, and hybrid offerings as a result of the pandemic, and with reduced class sizes, in-school behavior issues have declined. But, "we are also asking teachers to think holistically during this time," since the pandemic has affected families differently. When considering how to implement SEL, it's important to consider it another tool in the educator's pocket, and "if this is the tool that makes it click for one student, then it's a good investment." Edwards also highlighted the power of the student videos included in the curriculum, saying, "This could help students open up and talk because they see that other people are going through something similar."
Implementation Ideas
Educators are often on board with SEL curriculum in theory, but wonder how to implement SEL throughout a district successfully. In Jefferson Parish, Edwards is allowing educators at each school to implement the SEL curriculum in a way that meets their needs. During professional development sessions, some educators mentioned that they will assign curriculum by topic to address specific student needs, while others mentioned group work. Particularly around anger management, some small-group work might be helpful.
Even in the advanced academy, Edwards sees a place for SEL. "Just because you go to an advanced school doesn't mean you are exempt from issues like bullying," Edwards said as she explained a recent intervention that took place with these students. Teaching students to "solve problems in a different manner" can greatly impact peer-to-peer and teacher-to-student relationships throughout the parish, said Edwards.
Eventually, Edwards would like to offer students credit for completing these SEL courses, and considers this an important factor for others to consider when determining how to implement SEL in their school or district. "This is something students can think about on their own time, and earning credit could be a nice incentive," Edwards said. She is also empowering teachers to think of creative and different ways to use the program to help their students.
When administrators think about how to implement SEL, Edwards suggests starting small. By focusing on professional development for the key players throughout the parish, she hopes the program will grow.
1. Work with social workers throughout the district.
Set up training so they can start working with the most at-risk students first.
2. Form teams in the schools.
These teams will focus on incorporating SEL into existing structures to help build relationships.
3. Identify students who need additional support.
Work with teachers who have behavioral issues in their class.
4. Set goals that work for each school.
The teams may use different criteria to identify students, and may implement the curriculum differently. For some, it could be 30 minutes once a week for a student who was recently disciplined. For others, it could be the whole class receives an hour of instruction weekly. At the alternative schools, all students are required to do SEL, and across the parish, this curriculum can be used to empower educators to have one-on-one conversations on difficult topics.
5. Set teams up for success
Provide space and time for planning to ensure the curriculum is implemented effectively. Continue to emphasize the importance of SEL, so schools see it as an asset and want to build their programs.
As Purpose Prep founder Daniel Budzinski said, "Schools have long been sources of support, community, socialization, and security for their students, and have provided resources that go far beyond academics. It is a critical time to provide access to social and emotional learning programs." And at Jefferson Parish, Darvell Edwards is eager to see how the new SEL curriculum will bring these critical social and emotional lessons to all students.

This all started last June 2012 at the Summer Blast action for B4K (Benefit 4 Kids). A hunt was offered with Ron "WesternKYhunter" Larkins in White Plains, KY. My wife was a bidder for this item and was going to give the hunt to me since she does not deer hunt. I asked her while she was biding and she told me that I had always wanted to hunt outside of NC and this was my chance. She won the bid. I got with Ron and he told me that the first of the KY gun season in November 2012 would be my best time. I made my plans with him and other members of the Hilltop Hunting Club that were at the B4K auction who also happen to be TalkHunting Members. Tom "Gutshot" Bepler, Randy (Hunly) Haehnlein, Dennis "Possum" Parker, Mike "WVwhitetail" Snider, Denny "Bugfixer" Chambers, and Robert "Hunt Master" Householder.
Made my reservations at the Convention Center Inn as soon as I got home. Found out later that it was a good thing that I did. A lot of hunters hit Western KY at the start of gun season and it was booked up a few months later. Dreaming and planning for the hunt while still getting my Fall food plots completed and the hunting season coming in here in NC. My wife had a concern about my bad knees climbing into ladder stands. She had me get a pop-up blind to take with me just in case. Got an email from Randy (Hunly) Haehnlein asking me if I had reservations yet and if I would like to share a room with him. This made me very happy as I would not have to use the GPS to find Ron. The Hotel was 28 miles from the hunting area; yes Ron is out in the country.
Departed my home in NC at 05:15 AM EST Thursday. Arrived at the Inn at 14:40 CT after a trip of 711 miles. I was wired from the trip and the expectations of the hunt along with meeting other TalkHunting family. Randy arrived a couple of hours later. We talked for awhile about the upcoming hunt, Talkhunting Magazine and its direction. We then went to supper next door at the Catfish Shack to join Robert, Denny, and Trae after their bow hunts. Ron came in after working his chicken houses and joined us also. After joking with each other, the discussion got into where I should hunt that Saturday morning. Ron suggested on a ledge (Buff Stand) overlooking what I would call a wide gully. It was decided that we would meet at the Prairie Rose in White Plains for breakfast. Randy and I met Ron there. We sit with other hunters that had come in for the opening day along with locals. Dennis has always talked about getting the 4-bone while there. We are talking a four egg omelet with lots of different meats/cheese inside. I was full after that. Randy and I then went to the Hilltop Hunting club. He took me around on his Rhino after checking the sign-in board to see where the others were bow hunting that morning so as not to disturb their hunt. He hung his stand in an area he would be bow hunting that evening. We then went to the Buff Stand and I loved it. I knew that I would have to come back that afternoon and mark the way into it. It was sitting on the edge of a 70 foot drop-off. We went back to the Prairie Rose for lunch. I was still to full to eat much. Randy had coconut pie and I had pecan pie, both were with ice cream. We then went to Uncle Lee's to get my hunting license. While there we did some shopping, good thing we were in a hurry as it is a nice place. We went back to the Inn for Randy to get ready to bow hunt and for me to get the reflectors to mark my way to the Bluff Stand. I drove my truck and Randy drove his since I would be coming back after marking my way to the stand for the next morning and Randy would be hunting till dark.
I get to the field that I would park in the next morning and started marking the area where I would be going into the woods. I continue to mark my way to the stand and was about 30 yds into the woods when I heard a noise and looked in that direction and there was a doe running up toward me. She stopped about 30 yds from me and just stood there looking at me and the direction she had come up. I then heard another noise in the dry leaves and there came an 8 pointer within 30 ft of me. He stopped, looked at me and then at the doe. I was frozen and trying not to look him in the eyes. It popped into my head a post in Talkhunting forum about not looking into the deer's eye and spooking them if you are frozen. We stood there for like seemed a long time. In hindsight, think it was about a minute. The whole time I was thinking, doe run away, doe run away over and over in my head. Like I was sending her a message. She finally turned and ran back in the same direction she had came. He gave me one more look and then took off after her. I stood there going over in my head what had just happen. He was more concern with her than me. He was about a 2 ½ year old with at least a 21 inch spread. The tines were not that tall but he was still a very respectable 8 pointer. Guess you could say I was pumped for the next day!!!
The next morning Randy and I got up early and drove to the hunting area. He unloaded his Rhino and headed off and I drove further back into the field to the area to head into the Buff Stand. Had my cap red light on and those reflectors really stood out. Had gotten to about 50 yds from the stand and heard the loud sound of wings and saw something flying from the tree over the stand. Took me a moment to catch my breath and realize that it was a turkey. A whole mess of them started talking and it sounded weird to me as I had only heard them in turkey houses before, you know future Butterballs. As the daylight was breaking could hear the turkeys in the trees talking to each other. Could hear them up and down the length of the gully. Then the ones nearby flew down from their perch and I saw some of them join up and start feeding. Watched this for over and hour till they worked their way out of sight. I then noticed a hog trap below me, studied it for awhile. It had turned into a warm windy day and everything was moving.
Randy called me about going for lunch and I say OK. We joined up and headed to the Prairie Rose. We had lunch and talked with some of the locals and then went next door to one of them's place and looked at all the great deer mounts on his wall. After some great conversation with them, we headed back to our stands. Saw nothing that afternoon except for the wind moving everything. We headed in to the Inn and after cleaning up, over to the Catfish Shack for supper. We discussed plans for the next day.
Sunday we headed to the club and my stand was changed to one that Denny had seen some smaller bucks from. I was not hunting a trophy as they were, just a nice buck. Brandon "Littleman" Hight another TalkHunting member took me on the back of his 4-wheeler to the ladder stand overlooking a food plot. As the sun came up I could tell that there was a soybean field just through a thin strip of woods. I have always loved being near a soybean field when deer hunting. About a half hour after the sun had come up, saw deer legs to my right moving through the thicket. They were heading toward the far end of the food plot. I got my rifle ready just in case. The deer then moved into the plot and I could tell it was a buck but a young one. I put the scope on him to check him out. He was a 3-pointer. He moved across the plot at a good pace. Then I saw there was another deer behind him. I got ready once more and saw it was a young buck once more, he was a small cow horn or some would call a long spike. He took his time crossing the plot and I could see both of them head toward the soybeans. About an hour later I saw moment below and left of me on the path we had come in. It was another young buck. He had what I would call a can opener on one side because it looked just like an old can opener. 2-pointer and nothing on the other side. I had sprayed some Tink's Power Scrape and he smelled the area around my stand. He even looked up at me trying to figure out how a doe might have gotten up there. He then put his nose to the ground and followed the path in the direction Brandon had gone. Asked him later if he had placed something on himself. He told me yes, doe n heat. He had that young buck following him. He picked me up from the stand about 10:30 and we headed to the parking area. The others were there and we had gather to tell Randy goodbye as he had to head home. After telling Randy bye we then headed once more to the Prairie Rose to eat. Ron was riding back with me and he got a call from Trae that he had a buck down. He asked me to drop him off at his house so he could get a vehicle and I told him not to worry about it. I would help him and Trae get it out of the woods. Trae and Ron had problems getting up with each other on their cell phones. Finally we all had gotten together and Trae had Ron's adopted son Tony Martin with him to help. We all went into the woods to drag his nice buck out. Sure am glad that Tony was along. He and Trae did most of the work. I had gotten about 150-200 yds on the first part of the drag and my feet got tangled up in some brush and fell down. Trae and Tony then finished the drag. When we got the buck to the truck, I pointed out to Ron that he had not dragged the buck any. He walked over to it and moved it 5 ft and we all laughed. I took a lot of pictures of the buck for Trae along with giving him a Talkhunting paper to mark and place within the picture for the contest. By the time we had done all of this, was getting late to hit a stand. Went back to the buff stand area and moved over a few hundred yards and found a good spot where I could see a more of the lower area and it was out of the wind a lot. I saw a groundhog or is it called a woodchuck there? Watched squirrels play and feed, then it was getting dark so I headed to the Prairie Rose to get some supper and meet with Ron. We ate and he suggested another spot for me to try. We then went next door and they were having some roasted hog, so Ron and I joined in and hear some more great hunting stories.
I discovered later that I had lost my keys. I had been using a spare key for the ignition but found out I did not have my other keys when I went to lock my gun in the toolbox for the night at the hotel. I must have been a funny sight out in the parking lot frisking myself and then searching my truck. The next day was a wet one, started raining that night. I headed to the spot Ron had directed me too. Got there and was very glad that I was on a 4X4 getting in there. I then parked my truck and put my poncho on to protect myself and rifle. I took a hunting stool along and walked couple of hundred yards to the food plot. Located the tree stand and set up next to it on the ground. It was a good looking area, but the warm weather and now heavy rain was not helping. I stayed there till about 10:30 and then decided to look for my lost keys. I retraced my steps of the day before by foot. I spend over an hour and did not find the keys. I did find a $20 bill near the spot I had given one to Trae to pick something up for me. Later on Trae confirmed he had lost it. That afternoon I was at another good looking food plot. Saw a few does there and then my KY hunt was over. Trae and Ron came to tell me goodbye and Trae 2 wheel drive truck was having problems backing up a very wet hill. Ron told Trae to move out of the driver's seat and he would show him how to do it. The truck would not move after he had the front up near a tree. I told them that I would walk to my truck and come back to pull them out. It took me about 10 minutes to walk to my truck and then I got back and pulled them out. Trae told me that he had been looking at getting a 4X4 and now he was going to get one!!! Ron told me that the weather had not been right with the warm temps and all the wind. The rain that had come in that day was ahead of a cold front due to hit that night and I could stay the next day if I wanted to. I told him that I would love to, but I had promised my wife that I would be home Tuesday night. Think how I felt the next morning loading up with a 24 degree temp and a heavy frost on the ground with no wind!!!
I had a great time while in KY and enjoyed the people I was. Getting a nice buck would have been icing on the cake but I would take nothing for the memories, especially the look on Trae's face when he scored his 9-point 138 score buck.

Great story PJ. Hope you get to return up there again this fall. You're always welcome in camp.
Great story PJ!! I am pretty sure I had a close encounter with that wide 8 point you saw a few days before you got in camp. He was dogging a doe pretty hard. That was the first time I have ever seen a doe run into thick brush and lay down completely flat, like a dog trying to cool himself on a tile floor. She tried her best to hide from him, but she couldn't hide from his nose. I hate you didn't get to connect with a nice buck, but that is how hunting goes sometimes.
sounds like a blast! you could have left off the last couple pictures though. "What goes on at camp stays at camp" and all!
Great story PJ, glad you were able to make the hunt, and thanks to Mrs PJ for outbidding everyone. Did you ever find the keys?
Cost me about $150.00 to get them remade when I got home.
Took my club a few hunts to get me another key there. Could not open any gates and had to make sure I got out before they were locked.
Great story PJ, I know you guys had a blast!
Great hunting with so many friends, I wish I could head that way one day, maybe the economy will straighten out one day before I retire to being broke on SSI. Looks like fun was had, but there was way too much kissing for my comfort!!!!
Your just jealous that you missed Ron!!!

Department of Defence Ministers
2020 Japan-Australia Defense Ministers Kishi/Reynolds Joint Statement on Advancing Defence Cooperation
The Minister of Defense of Japan, Mr KISHI Nobuo, and the Australian Minister for Defence, Senator Linda Reynolds, met in Tokyo on 19 October 2020 to continue to build close bilateral defence and security ties in support of an Indo-Pacific region that is free and open, secure, inclusive and prosperous.
This was Minister Reynolds' second official visit to Tokyo and the Ministers' first face-to-face meeting as counterparts. Undertaking such a meeting at this challenging time is testament to the value and strength of the Japan-Australia Special Strategic Partnership.
The Ministers, in their commitment to build on the momentum of defence cooperation, acknowledged the strategic and practical depth of bilateral defence and security cooperation, including training and exercises, defence science and technology, and defence industry cooperation, and coordination on regional issues of shared interest. They acknowledged common objectives and drivers of cooperation, as evidenced in the two nations' respective strategic settings.
The Ministers shared their views on the strategic challenges facing the Indo-Pacific region, including trends accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. They noted the adverse health, economic and social impacts wrought by COVID-19 which they acknowledged would colour regional engagement in the coming period. They underscored their unwavering commitment to work closely with partners to support regional recovery and security.
The Ministers exchanged views on regional affairs, including the East China Sea, the South China Sea and North Korea.
The Ministers reinforced their strong opposition to any destabilising or coercive unilateral actions that could alter the status quo and increase tensions in the East China Sea. They expressed their intention to continue to coordinate closely on the security environment in this region.
The Ministers reinforced their strong opposition to any attempts to unilaterally change the status quo by coercion in the South China Sea, and reaffirmed the importance of upholding freedom of navigation and overflight. They reaffirmed their serious concern about recent incidents, including the continued militarisation of disputed features, dangerous or coercive use of coast guard vessels and "maritime militia", and efforts to disrupt other countries' resource exploitation activities. They emphasised the importance of peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
The Ministers shared their strong concern over North Korea's repeated violation of multiple United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs), including repeated launches of short range ballistic missiles. They reaffirmed their commitment to efforts to achieve the complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantlement of all of North Korea's nuclear weapons, other weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles of all ranges, in accordance with all relevant UNSCRs. They urged North Korea to fully comply with its international obligations. The Ministers welcomed and reaffirmed their commitment to deter, disrupt, and ultimately eliminate the evasion of sanctions by North Korea, including illicit ship-to-ship transfers and direct shipments of sanctioned goods.
Reflecting on the resilience of the defence relationship, based on shared values and forged through times of shared challenge, the Ministers resolved to reinforce its momentum and to work closely together to respond to geostrategic challenges.
The Ministers resolved to pursue all means to forge deeper links across a range of defence and security interests, as COVID-19 measures allow. Ministers concurred:
to enhance regular bilateral and multilateral cooperative activities in the Indo-Pacific, including maritime activities in the South China Sea, to maintain a free and open, secure, inclusive and prosperous region;
to enhance interoperability between the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Australian Defence Force through increasing the complexity and sophistication of bilateral exercises and operations, including testing of air-to-air refuelling;
to continue enhancing the mutual understanding between the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Australian Defence Force through people-to-people exchanges, including placement of the Australian Liaison Officer at the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force;
to drive bilateral space and cyber cooperation in areas of mutual benefit;
to deepen defence science and technology collaboration, including new possible joint research in the areas of hydroacoustics and ground vehicle autonomy; and
to continue to grow industry-to-industry engagement to support capability for our respective defence forces.
The Ministers also concurred to continue to exchange views to support recovery and promote regional peace and security including by:
sharing lessons learned from HA/DR operations during the COVID-19 pandemic;
exploring new opportunities for capacity building with like-minded partners to build regional resilience;
sharing information and exchanging views on reinforcing the rules-based international order, including working together to counter disinformation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Ministers confirmed the importance of further close collaboration between the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Australian Defence Force in the Indo-Pacific region. They instructed their officials to commence necessary coordination to create a framework to protect Australian Defence Force assets by the SDF personnel under Article 95-2 of the SDF Law (Provision for the protection of weapons and other equipment of the units of the U.S. Armed Forces and armed forces of other foreign countries).
The Ministers confirmed the strategic importance of Japan and Australia finalising a reciprocal access agreement and concurred that both sides continue to make efforts towards this goal. In light of the growing bilateral defence and security relationship, the agreement will improve administrative, policy, and legal procedures to facilitate joint operations and exercises.
The Ministers reiterated their commitment to active trilateral defence cooperation and exchanges with the United States that make tangible contribution and foster cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region. They also underscored the importance of cooperation with regional partners in institutional and informal settings, building habits of collaboration.
The Ministers reaffirmed their shared commitment to continue working closely with Indo-Pacific partners. They reiterated their desire to work together in cooperation with Pacific Island countries in the fields of capacity building, maritime security and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, particularly where responding to priorities of the Boe Declaration on Regional Security. The Ministers recognised that Japan and Australia would continue to coordinate closely in defence-related fora, including through their respective involvement in the Japan Pacific Islands Defense Dialogue (JPIDD) and the South Pacific Defence Ministers' Meeting (SPDMM) and other relevant regional dialogues.

It's really easy to begin accepting CC payments. Simply click here to apply. After submitting information regarding your business, an agent will contact you with rates and fees applicable to your business-type and your request will be submitted to the merchant bank for approval.
Do You know we have been reviewed and rated on all of the top merchant account credit card service websites? See our information and business criteria that has been taken into consideration on here, here, here and here.
We specialize in placing all types of merchants with credit card processing solutions. Internet, Retail Stores, Card Swipe Offshore and More! Experts in Merchant Bank Processing - Accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex Today!
Each of these types of accounts has its own unique characteristics and needs – and we are happy to be able to help you meet your needs, regardless of the type of account you need to set up!
If you hope to be successful as a retail merchant, the ability to accept credit cards is almost a necessity. After all, the average customer is looking for high quality, low prices, and convenience. If you do not accept credit or debit cards, your potential customer may very well move on to a merchant that does. As a business owner, you can't risk losing a customer simply because you are unable to process these types of transactions. Retail Establishments should expect to pay the lowest transaction rates. Transaction rates for retal establishments for example a grocery store usually start at 1.6% and up. It would be unrealistic and unfair to give you an exact rate or "teaser" rate without getting more information about your company.
As a brick and mortar retail establishment, you need to have a merchant account as well as a Point of Sale (POS) terminal solution. The POS terminal is the machine your customers will use to swipe their cards. If you aren't careful, you can find yourself paying high fees for these devices as well as for the processing service. America Merchant Services is dedicated to helping you make your business prosper by making it possible for you to accept cards without costing too much.
In addition to finding the right processor and the appropriate swiping equipment, you also need to determine where the equipment will be placed. If you will be accepting debit cards, for example, you need to make sure your customers have access to the terminal so they can enter their PIN after swiping their card. In addition, keep in mind that the terminals need to be located near to a telephone jack so they can be properly connected for processing credit card information.
Setting up an Internet merchant account is different from a retail account, primarily because your customers will not actually be swiping their cards. Rather, they will need to input information into an online form. As a result, special steps need to be taken in order to protect your customers' financial information as well as to keep you protected from fraudulent purchases. Transaction fees for Telephone / Mail Order (MOTO) usually are available for rates as low as 2% and up. Average rates are 2-3.5% again depening on risk, average ticket, largest purchase amounts and monthly volume. We cannot quote you a rate until we know your business history and business profile. Please fill out this application form to get started.
Internet businesses are growing at a rapid rate. If you hope to remain competitive against the other online businesses, you need to make the purchase process as simple as possible for your customers. At the same time, your customers need to feel safe and secure when making purchases with your store online. If they do not feel proper security measures are in place, most customers will steer clear of making a purchase with your store.
With our help, your customers will be able to easily and securely make purchases online. We will also make it possible for you to set up automatic billing with your customers and or you to accept checks online. In addition, we will provide you with fraud and risk management technology that will help to minimize your risks.
If you are a shrewd business person, or even if you are someone that is just starting a business, you might be interested in setting up an offshore merchant account. For some business owners, setting up a domestic account can be problematic because the business hasn't been in operation long enough or because the card processor requires a security deposit that is more than the business owner can afford. With an offshore account, you can avoid these inconveniences. International merchant accounts will typically find rates at 5% and up. If domestic banks are not willing to underwite your business because the risk is to high, it will become necessary for you to go overseas. Apply now for an international merchant account.
In many cases, setting up an offshore account can be beneficial to your business because you can find better deals than what is available domestically. This is largely because banks around the world are hoping to get your business, which means they are willing to offer great deals. In addition, there are potential tax benefits to setting up an offshore account rather than a domestic account.
Our knowledgeable representatives will help you determine if an offshore account is right for you. If you do decide to go this route, we will be happy to help you find the processor that is best for you and your business.
If you offer any of these services or products, you might have been turned down by many credit card processing services. At America Merchant Accounts, we are pleased to be able to help you find a credit processor even if you are in a high risk category. In fact, we specialize in helping merchants that have been turned down before. After all, your business deserves to have the opportunity to grow just like any other business – and we are happy to help!
Rates for High Risk will vary again depending on if you are getting a signature, if you are processing over the internet/telephone or if you are with an offshore bank.
Begin your application process by filling out this form.
Domestic, offshore, low-risk, high-risk, retail, internet, and wireless businesses eligible.
Staff will review application in 1-2 business days.
Staff review includes business information and processing history you've submitted.
Business information and processing history used to determine which merchant bank is the best fit, including best quote available.
Staff may require further information to move forward with approval process; ensure you have proper identification when contacted.
Bank underwriters review your application and documentation.
Your internet terminal is setup.
Congratulations! You may begin accepting CC payments from your clients.

Ministers back opt-out 'Max's law' for organ donation
Patrick Maguire
February 23 2018, 5:00pm, The Times
An assumed consent organ donation bill has passed its first stage unopposed in the Commons. It would replace the current system where potential donors have to register their wishesAFP photo/Leon Nea
England today moved a step closer to introducing an opt-out only system for organ donation after MPs backed a change in the law.
A private member's bill tabled by a Labour MP was passed unopposed in the Commons today and will introduce presumed consent for organ donors in England, in line with Scotland and Wales.
In July, the government said it would consult on introducing an opt-out system and today Jackie Doyle-Price, the health minister, said the government would support legislation introduced to parliament by Geoffrey Robinson.
His bill was given an unopposed second reading by MPs, dozens of whom took the unusual step of remaining in Westminster on a Friday to support it.
It will now go through further parliamentary scrutiny in the Commons…

Tax Audit: FIRS institutes compliance measures on operators in Maritime, Aviation industry
October 28, 2021 Political Editor News 0
By Chibuike Nwabuko
Abuja (Sundiata Post) – The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has hinted that it will soon launch a tax audit exercise on operators in the maritime and aviation industries.
The Executive Chairman, Muhammad Nami, disclosed this Thursday (October, 28, 2021) while delivering an address at the Pedabo Thought Leadership Breakfast Session, focused on tax issues and the impact on development in the maritime and aviation industry, held in Lagos State.
According to the statement signed by the Special Assistant to the Executive Chairman, FIRS on Media & Communication, Johannes Oluwatobi Wojuola, the "Back-end pre-audit activities, in collaboration with regulatory authorities in the industries are at advanced stages."
The FIRS Executive Chairman therefore, called on foreign players in these industries, who had lifted cargoes out of Nigeria without paying taxes to voluntarily come forward and regularise their tax standing.
In his words, "Let me use this opportunity to invite all foreign companies that have lifted cargoes (including crude oil) out of Nigeria without paying tax in line with extant law to voluntarily come forward to regularise their tax positions. Those who would wait for FIRS' audit before doing the right thing may find the taste very unsavoury." He stated.
Nami lamented that as important as the maritime and aviation industries are to the economic development of Nigeria, they were not yielding the expected revenue to the Federation's purse.
Blaming this poor revenue turn out on many factors, he stated that a major reason for the poor yield was the failure of foreign companies lifting cargoes to pay tax.
"The low tax revenue performance of the two industries can be attributed to many factors, chief of which is the failure of foreign companies lifting cargoes (particularly, crude oil) to pay tax. This is contrary to the provisions of the extant tax laws. The revenue leakage from these non-compliant companies is very huge.
"Tax authorities are unable to police these foreign companies because the transportation contracts are executed outside Nigeria and the tax authorities do not have the lifting schedules of the vessels ahead of their arrival in Nigeria." He stated.
Muhammad Nami went further to add that governments' existence and socio-economic development across the world today is defined by tax; as taxation has gone beyond a mere tool for raising revenue or a mere civil obligation of citizens.
"The whole world is engulfed in a tax war. In days ancient, nations went to war to capture land for its inherent natural resources. Today's war is about tax. The inability of the Inclusive Framework to reach a consensus on the tax questions around the digitalised economy is a clear testimony that tax is the new "resource" for which people go to war.
"The statement published by the Inclusive Framework after a long-drawn negotiation clearly indicates that each country must clear a path for itself. The lack of consensus is, in itself, an eye opener; particularly for developing countries." Nami stated.
