Mafia LXXV The Legend of Zelda: The Mafia Maracas. Madam MeowMeow's BowWow Hunt.
Topic: Mafia LXXV The Legend of Zelda: The Mafia Maracas. Madam MeowMeow's BowWow Hunt.
Hello dearies and welcome to my humble abode. I live here with my precious little BowWow. He's such a good boy. Unfortunately, he does get upset sometimes because we live in such a remote area and I'm not able to play with him as much as he'd like. I know he'd just love it if someone could stop by to play with him when I'm busy.
His favorite game is hide and seek. He's always going into the tall grass in our backyard to hide and make me chase after him. Unfortunately, the only way to find him is to pretty much cut away the grass and I don't want to hack away all that lovely foliage. If you hack away at my lawn, I'm afraid I'm going to have to charge 10 rupees for every square you expose in order to buy new grass and replace it. However, if you find anything in the grass, I'll let you keep it. I clearly don't need it. As an incentive to play, I'll give you a prize if you can find my clever little BowWow's hiding spot.
Come by anytime you feel like playing. BowWow will be ready and waiting for you.
Players will send Madam MeowMeow a pm about which part of the yard they would like to cut the grass/bush of, such as A1 or C5, for example. Each selection costs a player 10 rupees. A player can make up to 5 selections every 2 hours. So, if a player makes a choice at 6:00 PM, 6:15 PM, 6:30 PM, 6:45 PM and 7:30 PM then they cannot make another choice until 8:00 PM which is 2 hours from their first choice. If they make another choice at 8:00 PM then they can not make another choice until 8:15 PM which is 2 hours from their second choice. You get it. This is to keep any player from quickly grabbing all spots and to give everyone a chance to try their luck if they want to.
Players can keep guessing as much as they want until there are no more squares left to select and the whole yard is exposed or they've run out of rupees. Each game day the yard will reset as Madam BowWow replants it during the night. The things she does for her BowWow's enjoyment.... The reset occurs even if the yard isn't completely exposed or BowWow hasn't been discovered that day. There will be a different start time for playing the BowWow hunt each day. So, don't think that because a new game day has started that you can start picking. Selections will not be accepted unless made after the starting time given.
Selections are on a first come, first serve basis. If a player selects A1 and another player selects A1 after them, the first player is the one who will be charged the rupees and receive any reward that may lie there. The second player will not be charged any rupees and is free to select something else. A player can not bid more rupees to select a square if someone else has beaten them to their desired choice and claim it that way. If a player has made 5 selections and 2 hours have gone then they are free to select more spots even if the host hasn't been around to verify what they've chosen yet.
For example, let's say that a player made all five choices in one pm at 3:00 AM while the host/Madam MeowMeow is sleeping. When 5 AM rolls around then they could make another 5 selections. If 7 AM comes and the host still isn't here then they can make another 5 selections. When the host shows up at 8 AM then he will apply all those selections at once provided the player has the rupees for them. Even though it would be 15 selections happening at once when this happens, the selections were all made within the required waiting periods needed and so are all valid. You do not have to wait for me to make more selections if 2 hours have passed but you may want to in order to save rupees or see what you initial selections have given you. That's the risk you take if you want to try and dominate the game a bit.
In addition to BowWow, there are also four heart pieces hidden in the grass. Player can collect these heart pieces and will hold on to them for as long as they remain in the game. If a player is able to collect four of them at any time, they can cash in their heart pieces to try their luck at opening a treasure chest and claiming their prize. A player could discover a heart piece on Day 3, a heart piece on Day 4 and two of them on Day 6. Upon finding that fourth one on Day 6 they would then be able to claim a prize and their heart piece count drops to 0. They'd have to start collecting to 4 pieces again after that.
All current players still alive on Day 3 will start off with 50 rupees each. I will keep track of the rupee totals and at the start of each day will let players know the total they currently have at that time. Rupees do not expire so a player can save them and play the game some other day. A person could wait until Day 6 to start spending their rupees on this game, for example. If a player is eliminated from the game then they can not participate in the BowWow hunt and lose their rupees.
How Can Players Gain More Rupees?
There are a few ways players can earn rupees. A player gets 10 rupees for every valid vote they make. For instance, if I did the tally of Day 2 and a player had voted Dark Link then that player would get 10 rupees added to their total. If a player voted Khushrenada then they do not get 10 rupees because voting for me is an invalid vote. If a player had a vote but then removed it before the tally they would not get 10 rupees because they do not have an actual or valid vote at the time of the tally.
In addition, if the vote a player casts is for the person who is actually eliminated from the vote that day then they will receive 50 extra rupees. Now there's the risk / reward of self preservation from the bomber or trying to get more rupees to play. As well, it may encourage more majority votes because if a majority is reached then you can deny other players the chance to be part of the bandwagon or perhaps even keep them from having time to vote. The deviousness.
Players can also find more rupees in the Madam MeowMeow's yard. In addition to the hiding BowWow, there is also one each of a 20 rupee gem, 30 rupee gem, 40 rupee gem and 50 rupee gem hidden in the grass. Some of the prizes that can be won by finding BowWow are rupee totals.
There may be other contests that occur during a day in which players can win more rupees and perhaps play a different minigame to spend them in. But let's see how this first works out.
Grand Prize - The Grand Prize depends on the player who wins it. If the player is a Mafia Member then they are given the Deku Mask which can recruit a player of their choosing into the Mafia. The player that is assigned the Deku Mask loses any item/role they may have had and becomes the fourth Mafia Goon. If it is the Killer then they are given two extra arrows/kills that they can make at any time in the game. If it is the Bomber then that player is given two bombs that they can lob at any players of their choosing to blow them up and out of the game at any time of their choosing without using the Blast Mask to eliminate themselves from the game. If it is Majora's Mask that wins the prize then they are given the Dancing Scarecrow who will cause all the players to dance and a day will be removed from their needed time of victory. So, instead of needing to survive until the Dawn of Day 8, they would just have to survive until the Dawn of Day 7. And if it is a townie that wins the grand prize then they are given the Magic Armor and are immune for the rest of the game. They can not be voted out, hit, blown up or have their vote changed. In fact, their vote will now count as double. However, it will run out of magic if there are four or less players still in the game including the wearer of the magic armor. At that point, they would become vulnerable again. They could also vote out the Bomber and survive thanks to this armor provided they vote while still immune/magically protected. The grand prize could be what leads a player or side to victory.
Ocarina of Time - The player with this item can change the time of the game and warp forward. For instance, during a Game Day, if the player with this item decides to use it then the Game Day ends as soon as it is activated. If other votes or actions are taken after the player uses the Ocarina they will not count. The vote is immediately tallied and the loser eliminated. No night actions occur and the next Game Day will begin. Potentially, this player could cast a vote as soon as a day begins and then use the Ocarina to end the day and eliminate that player and warp us all to the next day. Conversely, the Ocarina can also be used at night. If the killer or mafia use the Ocarina at night, they can make a hit and keep anyone else from taking any actions. We would then skip the next Game Day with no vote and immediately move to the next night action period where all players with relevant roles can send in their actions. In the case of the bomber, they could actually choose to blow up two players at night and then use the Ocarina to warp forward to the next night and select two other players to be blown up with them before the Blast Mask fully explodes taking them out. For Majora's Mask, there is no extra ability gained by using the Ocarina but it does get them a day closer to their goal which is something all players have to remember when using the item.
Mirror Shield - The Mirror Shield is a bit like the Hylian Shield but with an odd twist of reflecting actions back. It is a one-time use item. A player can choose to protect themselves or someone else of their choosing with it. If a player uses the shield but they are not targeted, the shield is still used up and they do not get to keep using it until an action is taken against them. Any action made on a player protected by the mirror shield will rebound back to the player taking the action. So, if the mafia or killer puts a hit on the player then that hit will rebound and take them out. If the bomber attempts to blow them up, the Mirror Shield player can deflect the bomb tossed their way to any other player of their choice.
Some strange stuff happens with townie powers. If the Detective/Lens of Truth investigates the player with the mirror shield then the investigation becomes reversed and the mirror shield player will end up investigating the detective and learn of their ability. With the Doctor/Hylian Shield, if that player selects the player with Mirror Shield to be protected, the protection will rebound back to the Doctor themselves and the Doctor would be protected instead. This rebound would also not count as one of the two self-protections the doctor is allowed. If the Spirit Flute targets the mirror shield then the mirror shield player can actually change the Spirit Flute player's vote (although they won't know the identity of the Spirit Flute player) and would have the ability to break a tie if one exists at the end of the day. There is nothing the Mirror Shield can do against Majora's Mask if the Moon falls.
The player with this item must inform the host within the first hour of a Game Day if they are going to use the item in order to account for any actions that may occur towards the player protected with it for the day. There is no limit to the amount of actions the Mirror Shield can reflect in a day. All of these rebounds could potentially occur in one day.
Fairy - Revives a player if they've been eliminated from the game. Had a hit placed on you be the killer, mafia or bomber? You've just survived. Had an action rebound and eliminate you? You just survived. Voted out at the end of the day? You just survived. The fairy is only good for one save, however, so if a player was targeted by the Mafia and the bomber in one night, they would survive the first attack but not the second as an example.
Gale Boomerang - The boomerang stuns a player. This means that any vote they cast that day will not count (unless the player with the Spirit Flute uses the stunned player's vote with the power of the Spirit Flute) and any ability they may have is disabled for the day. So, Godfather is unable to put in a hit, Hylian Shield is unable to make a protection, etc. If it the Majora's Mask player is hit with the boomerang then it means they have to wait an extra day before the moon will fall and crush everyone. If the bomber is hit with the boomerang during the day and voted out then the player who voted for the bomber will not be blown up because the bomber will be too stunned to activate their Blast Mask.
Dominion Rod - This allows a player to take over the account of another player in the game for one day. They tell me the name of the player they want to control and I will change the password for the account and give the new password to the player with the Dominion Rod. Any messages that the player has will be removed first to hide any potential role they may have but if players send new messages to the account under the Dominion Rod's control, the player in control of the account can read and reply to them anyway they want. There will be no announcement either if a player is under the Dominon Rod's control until the next day when the rod's power has worn off and the player is allowed back into their account.
Hookshot - This allows you to steal all the rupees from two players of your choice.
Red Potion - This potion reveals the identity of two players of your choice.
Blue Potion - This potion gives you two extra votes in a Game Day Vote.
Green Potion - The green potion makes you immune to any votes cast at you for a game day of your choosing. For example, it you win this potion on Day 4 but are losing the vote on Day 6 then just post that you are drinking this potion and magically any votes cast for you that day will not count and you can not be voted out. There is only enough potion for one day.
150 Rupees - 150 rupees are added to your total.
50 Rupees - 50 rupees are added your rupee total.
Empty Bottle - Unfortunately, the empty bottle won't help anyone out with the Mafia Game itself. However, if you do end up with this then it gives you first crack at the prizes available at the end of the game whether you actually win the Mafia game or not.
Miiverse Stamp - Miiverse is dead. This item is useless.
Link's Wallet - The player who finds this prize will select another player and both will lose all the rupees they have as they go into Link's Wallet. Thanks, guys!
Iron Boots - Iron boots will slow this player down for the next day. Any votes cast will be too slow to count when the tally comes around and any action/role they have will be too slow to be received in time to count. However, none of the other players will know you have the iron boots unless you decide to tell them.
How to Claim a Prize?
All the various prizes are each hidden in their own treasure chest. Those treasure chests are all identical and have been mixed around. Finally, a number from 1 - 17 has been assigned to each chest. A player who has won the BowWow hunt or has collected four heart pieces will make a selection from 1 - 17 in a pm to me and then will be awarded the contents of that chest, whatever it may be. Once a chest has been selected, it remains open and empty and a player can not select it again to get the same prize.
If a player can successfully identify the true forum identity behind 13 (or more) of the 18 player accounts for this game and submits that list to Madam MeowMeow then they will be able to magically hone in on the prize they wish to claim if they win the BowWow hunt or collect four heart pieces. Players can earn this "dowsing" ability at any time even if they haven't won the hunt yet. However, you are only allowed three submissions / tries to Madam MeowMeow per game day. Madam MeowMeow will review your list and let you know the percentage you have right on from the list like 39%, 67% 94% or whatever the total may be. It's up to you to figure out what you have right and what you have wrong.
"SMOOOOOOOCH! You got a reward from Madam MeowMeow... ... ... L-l-lucky!"
Re: Mafia LXXV The Legend of Zelda: The Mafia Maracas. Madam MeowMeow's BowWow Hunt.
Oh what an adorable doggie BowWow is. I would love to find them and play with them in an island paradise.
Hold your horses. No one will be hunting for BowWow until another couple hours.
BowWow has now been set as a Dowsing Target.
vote madame MeowMeow for being an irresponsible pet owner.
Alright. Let's get this piece of the puzzle into action.
I'm going to allow BowWow hunt selections starting at 10:30 PM EST / 7:30 PM PST. Selections will carry on until the start of Day 4.
One slight change to the rules already. I've decided that instead of posting selections in this thread, players should PM their selection to Madam MeowMeow. I remember that in the New Leaf Mafia game some players were targeted upon winning one of the contest prizes that day so to avoid the winners of this game being targeted each day, it would be best to keep the selections and winners a bit secret.
Madam MeowMeow will keep updating this thread though as to what choices are still available and what's been taken and if any prizes have been found in the hunt to let players know what is going on and decide if they want to select anything or wait another day.
Do not pm Link Link. Any selections made to Link Link will not count. Only send the selections to Madam MeowMeow.
I realize this means that there is the potential for more duplicate choices being made by not knowing what other players are selecting. But Madam MeowMeow will let any players know if they've been beaten to a choice in a reply pm and give them a chance to choose something else. Any duplicate choice made will not count and the player will not have to wait two hours to make a replacement pick in that instance.
Everyone really does have 50 rupees now. However, some may have a bit more based on the past two days actions. I just need to go over those and will inform any players affected by them as to the amount of extra rupees they have gained in addition to the base 50 everyone else is starting with.
Alright. The update totals have been figured out and the players that received extra rupees due to their past actions have now been informed.
Some people say, Link Link, what are you doing? You've basically fulfilled your obligation as host. You just need to finish posting the Day 2 and Day 3 story and your pretty much set for putting forth a Triple A Mafia hosting job. Sure, you may want to update eliminated players with a dead avatar of some kind but that's really about it. Just keep steady now with what you are doing. Why create extra games and work with more pictures now needed and rupee totals to keep track of?
I tell those, people, you're right. What was I thinking? This was very stupid of me. Darn, my hosting ambitions pushing me to keep trying to do more in a game. They're going to be the death of me yet.
Awww my lovely Link Link always trying to make this quest much more enjoyable for everyone and keeping denizen excite for the quest. By the by Link Link I love the story so far!!
Oh, my-my-my! So many people showing up to play with my little BowWow! That's so sweet! My precious little darling just loves the company! Unfortunately, nobody has found my little BowWow yet or any other treasure of any kind. Still lots of places to search yet. Where could my clever doggie be hiding?
A few more selections have been made but still nothing has been found yet. Poor BowWow. I hope he doesn't start to get scared that no will find him.
Another update on the BowWow Hunt. No one has found BowWow yet but a couple heart pieces have been uncovered. Finally, some interesting developments in the game. Please note that I am going into the forest now to hunt for some truffles to make my BowWow a nice Truffle Soup for when he gets tired of playing. Therefore, I'm probably not going to be around for some time to update the map but I will do so as soon as I can.
Hmmmmm. Only one guess while I was out fighting bokoblins and chuchus to an inch of my life while collecting truffles in the woods. Well, here's the latest update.
There are 30 squares left to choose from.
We've had a couple more discoveries made but no BowWow yet.
I see there's been some more action in the BowWow search. But unfortunately, no one has been able to discover anything with in these latest searches. How sad.
Yoo-hoo! Time to come in for din-din, Bowey-Wowey!
Oh, that's where you were hiding! What a clever doggie you are! Well, hopefully your new friends stop by tomorrow to play with you again.
The BowWow Hunt is currently closed.
Attention dearies! My little BowWow is ready to play with you all again. He's jumped into the tall grass in my backyard again. I think he might be starting to get a bit of an ego growing since he was able to thwart everyone looking for him yesterday. I hope that doesn't become a problem. It would probably be a good idea if someone were to find him today.
Well, we've had one brave person try to find BowWow. Although they didn't find him, they did find a heart piece. How nice!
What's this?! Oh my! One of you has found my little BowWow already!
Well, now you get a reward from Madam MeowMeow. You can choose one of the treasure chests in my prize basement. Just select a number from 1 -17 and you'll get whatever is in that chest.
As for the rest of you, there are still some heart pieces and rupees to be found in the grass if you are interested. You're welcome to keep whatever you may find.
.... A Miiverse Stamp. Hmmmm. Well, that's probably not as exciting as they thought it would be.
Madam MeowMeow's is closed again. Check back on Day 5 for another BowWow Hunt.
Heads up. Madam MeowMeow's BowWow Hunt opens in about 35 minutes to run until the end of Day 5.
Hello dearies and welcome to Day 5! My sweetums is already hiding in the yard for you. However, his sister was starting to feel upset about being left out so I've let her hide with her brother as well. If you find Bow BowWow then you will trigger a different type of game that the players can get involved in. How exciting. My pets sure do love to provide fun and excitement for everyone.
Best of luck trying to find them!
Bit of a slow day. Guess people are too busy going on dates and sidequests in Hyrule to play with my little dearies. But there's been a little bit of activity. Nothing of significance though.

We're going to take a break from our study in Acts.
It's nice to have a different diet every once in a while, right?
Every part of God's word is beneficial. There is no "junk food" in God's word.
We're going to look at Psalm 86 today. Normally before we study and section of scripture, we try to find out what is happening to cause a portion to be written.
The context of the writing is vital to our understanding of why it is being written. However, in Psalm 86, there is not much known outside of the psalm itself. We know David wrote it, but not much in the way of specifics.
The thing about God's word is that it tells us everything that God want us to know, not everything there is TO know.
If something is spelled out specifically, we would tend to apply it only to that type of situation. If something is not spelled out, it can be applied in a general manner.
We'll see what I mean as we go through it.
We know that David wrote it and we know it was written as a prayer. It isn't a complaint like Psalm 142 is. It wasn't a recounting of a particular incident like Psalm 78 that recounts God's work in Israel, or a song like Psalm 87.
It was a prayer! How many have ever just read the psalms as your prayers?
This psalm is a "generic" prayer for someone who is in desperate need. All we know is that Psalm 86:14 tells us that people are making David's life miserable.
Have you ever been in such a state that you just can't get up or sit up? You are so despondent or so weak or feeble, that you can't muster the strength or desire to stand.
That is where David is in this psalm. He is asking God to lean down to him.
The term for God that David uses is Jehovah. It is the most holy of the names God gives himself.
David could have used any of the other names for God, Adonai, Elohim, and YHWH. He didn't. He called him by the name that is unchanging. The God who keeps his promises.
When we pray, we need to remember that our God is a God who keeps his promises.
Once commentary tells us that, he was without supply of the necessities (food & water) -- also, full of wants that he is unable to provide for himself.
If we can supply our needs then we really don't need God.
God always wants us to realize that all we have is from Him and that without him we are always in need.
And real distress and misery cry out for God's mercy.
How many times have we prayed that prayer?
David was asking God to protect him not only from his enemies but to protect him from the temptations that come along with his situation.
"I am devoted to you".
I want to STAY devoted to you.
It's one thing to be in a situation where you need God to intervene, it's another to have many ways to fix it yourself that you know aren't right.
Jesus was tempted in the garden because of the needs he had at that moment. He was hungry and thirsty and the devil tempted him to do what seemed logical and expedient at that time (make these stones into bread).
Things that you feel would make your life better for the moment, but you know what God says about it.
Lord, I want you to fix this for me. I don't want to do anything on my own that may offend you. I trust you to do it best.
The best of us will always be in need of mercy.
What is mercy? Not getting what we DO deserve.
And how often do we find ourselves in situations of our own doing and then need God to deliver us? That is asking for mercy -- not getting the results of our own decisions.
Notice it wasn't I'm sorry I got caught, can you help me. It was I am serving you constantly and yet have blown it. Would you please have mercy upon me?
David didn't live how he wanted then when things go south, he calls on God. He served him constantly, called on him constantly.
He wasn't a fair weather believer -- only calling on God when he needed something.
Before he receives any answers to his prayer, he asks the Lord to restore his joy. The nearer we are to the Lord, the greater will our joy be.
Joy is not dependent on circumstances; we receive joy from being close to the Lord. David is asking God to draw him closer to he has this joy. David could not get it himself; he needed God to do it.
If you are in a despondent state, or even in normal life, we cannot muster joy in ourselves, and the more discouraged you are, the less you are able to draw close to God to receive the joy.
When we pray for our circumstances, don't wait for the answer before you ask God to restore your joy. You can have joy while you wait for the results of prayer.
Don't wait for your life to be perfect before you start enjoying it.
Sometimes we may not like where we are, so we can't enjoy what we DO have, while we wait for what we want. If you won't like your life until you get a different job, meet someone, or even feel better, then 10-20-30 years are going to pass and you wouldn't have enjoyed them.
Let God give you joy while you wait. Enjoy what you do have, don't lament what you don't! Or your life will be over and you will have missed the good things God HAS given you.
Why should you want and have joy?
Because of the things, we have. Because of God's blessings?
We should have joy in the Lord because of his nature.
Everyone should be ecstatic that God forgives. We are all sinners before God in need of saving from the wrath to come.
Good at meeting our needs, good at forgiving, good at how he handles the world.
As a part of His goodness, he abounds in love towards those who call on him. God loves everyone, but his love is only available to those who ask for it in the way of salvation.
You can love someone, but if they don't accept that love, you do not have a relationship with them.
When people say God is a God of love and wouldn't let anyone go to hell, sure God is love, but it only applies to people who have asked for it.
What is our natural reaction when we focus on the goodness, mercy, and love of God?
Doesn't it push us to pray even harder? Knowing that God forgives our sins is good to us and abounds in love toward us.
In other words, because you are forgiving, good, and abounding in love, please hear my prayers and my desperate need of you.
It's a lot easier to ask something of someone if you know they are predisposed to say yes.
David truly believes in God's goodness, so he is confident, not in his own goodness, but because of God's goodness (not his), that God will hear him.
We will all probably go through times of desperation, discouragement, despondency.
Take them all to the Lord in prayer but equally important, to ask God to give you joy in the middle of them, while you wait and trust for His perfect answer.
If God is forgiving and good, and loving and he keeps His promises and in His goodness we know he'll answer, then the only thing we'll need is joy while we wait and trust.
Don't wait for the answer to ask or have joy. We should want it now. And trust God for the future.

WeekendNailsworth & Proud
Nailsworth & Proud: Tim Hughes – playing the blues, Dustin Hoffman, Forest Green and yoghurt covered nuts
Tim Hughes has lived in Nailsworth for the last 14 years. He is a Professor of Applied Marketing at the University of the West of England, but now only works two days a week. This has given him more time to pursue his interests, particularly in playing and performing blues music. Tim has been on the Nailsworth Festival Committee for many years and does the publicity.
This year's Festival has been put back until 20th-27th August because of Covid. The Festival will feature a range of acts and activities including poet and comedian Elvis McGonagall; blues performer Michael Roach; novelist Kate Riordan; singer/pianist Helen Porter and Stroud writer-performer Philip Douch. Tim will also be featured this year with his presentation and performance "120 years of the blues".
When are you at your happiest?
These days probably performing music or hearing others perform. This has been severely constrained during the pandemic, but Zoom sessions have saved the day somewhat. There is a virtual Minchinhampton Folk Club; a virtual George at Newmarket; a virtual Frocester George and others. One advantage has been that this has allowed musicians to listen to and connect with others both across the UK and internationally.
What has been your biggest disappointment?
Difficult to say. Professionally I can think of an example. I was working in marketing for a company, who will remain nameless. I was responsible for using an advertising agency to produce and new TV ad (costing a lot of money) that I'd signed off at the concept stage. However, the actual ad was nothing like I expected from the concept boards. The trouble is by that stage there is little you can do about it. All part of the learning process I suppose.
What is your guiltiest pleasure?
Yoghurt covered nuts.
Who is the most famous person on your phone?
Perhaps, Michael Roach. He is headlining Nailsworth Festival and so I am in contact with him.
What is your favourite smell?
Newly laid tarmac on roads. There has been plenty of this with all the road works going on in our area recently!
Who would play you in a film about your life?
Dustin Hoffman, because he really gets into every character he plays.
What do you like most about living in Nailsworth?
Where do you start? The countryside; the friendly community; Forest Green Rovers; folk clubs and open mics; Nailsworth Festival; Minchinhampton Old Course.
What would you improve about Nailsworth?
More opportunities for live music. There is no shortage of talent in the area. The opening of the Three Storeys Art Centre in Nailsworth is a very positive step and we will be using this as one of the venues for this year's Nailsworth Festival.
What is your ideal weekend?
Forest Green Rovers win promotion on Saturday afternoon, music on Saturday night, recover on Sunday.
What is on your bucket list?
Visit the Mississippi Delta.
What is the most important lesson life has taught you?
Don't get stuck in a rut. Shake things up and give yourself new challenges every few years.
Nailsworth Festival

Make money from your photos – Klink photo-sharing app
The new photo-monetization feature by Klink is all set to create a whole new buzz among the Instagram users, because it comes to be an extraordinary counterpart of the photo-sharing social media apps.
The most striking features of this app are that you can share photos in their full size, unlike Instagram and also, share 20-second videos, unlike Instagram where only a 15 second video is allowed. The users can make great edits before posting them on their feed, by using cool filters and striking montages to videos and images that are to be shared.
Also, these photos can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, etc., to gain more followers and to spread their message. It also comes with computer vision processing that allows users to find just the right amount of content when they look for it in the app.
The new monetization feature on Klink claims that a user can earn up to $2 just by having 1000 views on the content that they share. This makes Klink not only a fun app to use, but also helps in earning monetary benefits as an added value. There could also be additional earnings for a user if he/she invites friends to join this app. It also comes with in-app purchases that enable the user to boost their visibility. This app is currently said to be on beta version for all the Android users, but for the iOS users, it is readily available on the iTunes app store.
Taylor Pierce, who is the CEO of Klink, goes on to say that though the app is small, it turned out to be a successful YouTube channel. She further said that the people need to be compensated for the creativity that they project, and that's why Klink is uniquely special from the other apps.
Klink can be downloaded for iOS and Android devices.

And one angry, worried husband.
I can't really say that I blame him.
My adventures have gotten me into trouble. There was the time I blew a tire (hey, where did all the pictures on that post go?) and there was the time I backed into a deep ditch of snow.
I've also managed to get busted trespassing, most recently in Rocklyn, WA, just south of Davenport.
He doesn't like me riding solo so, on Monday, I found company.
Jerry Hardy owns the Rux homestead and is the fellow who busted me for trespassing on his property. He left comments on the blog post and I followed up by apologizing. We became Facebook friends and chatted about getting together to talk history.
He was game. My American remained concerned. I'd not met this man before and was basing my trust only on Facebook conversations.
But come on … we share a passion for history!
Gerry and I booked an afternoon together. He was my chief tour guide around Harrington, where he went to school and played football as a boy.
He shared the history of the grain elevators, when the wooden ones were torn down, and how one of the current stacks was built on a continuous pour. He remembered nights at the community hall, which empty building held the mercantile, and where the hospital once stood.
He introduced me to Allen Barth, owner of the Studebaker Garage. Allen rebuilds classic cars in the former Harrington Garage, built in 1916 and still bears its original Ford logo.
Affable, kind and warm-hearted, Jerry also approached Dillon Haas, the town mayor, for a chat and that's how we were invited to see the brothel.
After all that, we headed back to Rocklyn where Jerry wanted to show me the old schoolhouses he keeps on another of his "abandoned" properties.
His grandparents, William and Lydia, bought the house and farmland from Gus Rux (Charles' brother) in 1917. The house is livable but it shows signs of wears. Jerry pokes at the front door and realizes someone has been trying to break in.
He's already lost family items to those who think the house doesn't belong to anyone.
Behind the home that holds so many Hardy family memories, Jerry has placed two old schoolhouses — Rocklyn's Zion school and Coal Springs — he acquired before they could be destroyed. The schools were left empty after the smaller districts were consolidated into the Davenport system during the Great Depression.
Jerry has a dream to restore both schoolhouses, too, and place the Zion building next to the Rux farmhouse. Then, that property will no longer be looked upon as abandoned because it will be a spot to tour and learn about pioneers, farming and Lincoln County history.
We came across Doug Mielke, who farms the Hardy land, and he took us to the Church Road field where the Zion schoolhouse once sat.
Time was ticking and I knew I was going to be well past the time I told My American I'd be home.
Trouble was, we were in an AT&T black hole for the entire afternoon. While I stood in the field listening to Doug and Jerry chat about history, my phone started blowing up.
I was back in range.
After not hearing from me for hours, My American was in his truck and heading toward Davenport to look for me and Bella, worried we might be chained in a root cellar somewhere. I pulled him back from the ledge and sent him home, reassuring him that we were safe.
Because my new friend Jerry wouldn't have had it any other way.
I really enjoyed your tour of Harrington and surrounding area. I grew up in Harrington–right on main street in the building next to the Studabaker garage. The old hotel was our house. I still have many fond memories of living in a small town.
My wife and I have photographed the Hardy homestead several times along with almost all of the old barns and houses in Lincoln County.

The most anticipated trailer of the Undercover Season 3', a Belgian-Dutch crime drama show, is dropped by Netflix, which is carved around an undercover agent Bob, who works with police to catch and frame criminals who are involved in dubious business and illegal customs and illegal arm trade conspiracies.

Undercover Season 3: Synopsis, Which can be observed from the trailer…
The Cinemaholic
A possible prison sentence and a full-fledged court case must be bossing around Bob, the lead of the show. Ferry gets released from prison and finds that his top position in the XTC world is taken over by someone, more strong and better-plotted gang, which works in the leadership of a married couple Serkan and Leyla Bulut. When one young Undercover agent is killed, the Police realize that they have a culprit among them."
Bob gets an offer from Patrick Diercks: he is willing to let Bob's case go under the carpet if Bob returns to his old job as an undercover agent and unmasks Serkan's gang traitor as an intruder. Bob takes on this offer in just one go in the hope to get his life back on the rails and having a secure future with his new family. But Ferry Bouman was on his way to disappoint him.
Binge-watching checklist…
Binge-watching series of shows has been in trend especially with the lockdown that has been going on since the Pandemic hit us all in 2020. There is no restriction of region or genre, exploring our vast options has turned into a new social norm.
Undercover Season 3 will be one of those series that was on the must-see list for many of these Binge-watchers.
Since the show has all of the built-in components that crime dramas are supposed to have in it. In the end, succeeded in turning in the sort of leisure that the Viewers turned were searching for. The introductory season was given pretty advantageous and Appalling responses from Audience in addition to critics. Consequently, the Show got respectable orders for the second one run as well. It has secured 7.8/10 stars at the IMDb and additionally has earned excellent scores on different platforms.
Season 1 Ferry Bouman stole the show and left Peter (the undercover cop) playing 2nd fiddle (not a dis on his acting mind you). It's just that Ferry's character was full-on – slimeball, violent, menacing, and yet tender and completely in love with his slobbery wife (who are excellent and also a great couple on screen). Lammers played him so well physically he commanded the screen every time he was on. Everyone raved about this show. A combination of excellent writing that is quite ingrained, not an over-the-top, flashy crime scene with believable three-dimensional characters.
In season 2 with Ferry taking a back seat but still involved, Peter really shone in an understated way. His face showed the weariness and toll the new case and the weight of the previous case was taking on him. Again, excellent writing by cleverly weaving in the preceding case and not having any real big jumps in logic. Finger crossed the 3rd season is just as good as the preceding two.
While everybody turned to watch for the Undercover season three to release. Netflix released another crime drama Ferry and named it the prequel of Undercover. The show Got launched in May 2021. The tale of the series is ready a gangster named Ferry, who works for a person named Brink. Brink's son was shot and to avenge his son's loss of life he sends Ferry to complete his rival gang, wherein Ferry meets Danielle and falls in love with her.
How is Ferry associated with Undercover? We aren't supplying you with any spoilers, watch the display yourself to discover out.

Q: Unable to access static member -> unresolved external symbol i class Test
{
private:
    static int i;
public:
    static void foo()
    {
        i = 10;
    }
    static int geti(){ return i; }
};

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    Test::foo();
    std::cout << Test::geti();
    return 0;
}

This is a simple test, I think I am wrong about static use in my program. Because I always get "Unresolved external symbol i". Why is this ?

A: You have to define static member variables outside class definition:
int Test::i=10; //or any value or just the definition will do.

In class you are just declaring, not defining. Without a definition, linker will not be able to find it ans will show unresolved external symbols.
static member variables in a class requires this special treatment because of One Definition Rule and compilation model of C++.

My early childhood experiences with wool scream itchiness and fullblown states of discomfort.
For Christmas of 2005 my parents bought me a pair of MEC merino wool lightweight long underwear bottoms. I had a sneaking suspicion I that I wouldn't use them, so I brought 'em back and exchanged them for the same garment, only in upper form. It's been 15 months of bliss.
I have worn the shirt year round, it regulates temperature really well. In the winter I wear it sometimes under a thin fleece (perhaps another review) but often I can get by with it just under a jacket; my windbreaker when it isn't pouring rain, or my rain-jacket when it (almost always) is (as if it will NEVER stop). In the summer i wear it on its own; its perfect for the early morning chill and in the afternoon I just hike up the sleeves. There is just the right amount of elasticity in the very fine wool fibres, that it doesn't feel too tight when I bunch up the sleeves to my elbows, and they stay put.
Another, most excellent, feature of this shirt (and anything made out of wool in general): ZERO STANK. It takes a fair bit of abuse to get this thing smelling bad. If I wear most of my wicking tops for more than 2 days, the smell factor approaches unbearable; after 1 day they usually hit anti-social. My wooly little friend, on the other hand, can be worn for days without any sign of stink. I am not too easy on my stuff, but I do hang it up to dry at work and most of the time it gets hung up or draped over something at home at night. It wicks moisture incredibly well, I have watched beads of water form on the outside surface on a few occasions, it look like the fibres pull the water out. In anticipation of this post I wore it on my daily (45+ minute each way) commute for 7 days, generally under a windbreaker, always with my Chrome bag there to make for some moderate back-sweat conditions PLUS I wore it on a 10 hour hike/snowshoe trip over the weekend. After the first 4 days (before hiking) it still smelt fine, I could even smell detergent in some areas. I eventually gave up, but after all of that it still wasn't any worse than a regular synthetic shirt after a few hours of use.
The garment is pretty bare bones, which I like. No neck zippers, no pockets front or back, no extra length in the back to cover your stern; just a basic crew cut fit (wear them on the snug/tight side otherwise they don't wick or keep you warm).
As you can see, I love this garment. Year-round functionality, able to go the distance between washings, very nice cut (I find MEC stuff to be very hit an miss on garment fit) and fashionably neutral (I gots the black one). The price is right too; under $65 for something of this quality is cheap, err.. I mean inexpensive. Highly recommended and easily one of my favorite pieces of clothing, cycling specific or otherwise.

Where Are They Now: Steve O'Neal
Jim Gehman
NYJETS.COM CONTRIBUTOR
While a 98-yard game by running back is good, a 98-yard punt is great!
In the 100-year history of the NFL, it has happened once.
Occurring on September 21, 1969, Jets rookie Steve O'Neal put his name in the record book during a game in Denver against the Broncos.
"I don't think we ran at all that particular series. Joe (Namath) dropped back three times to pass and got sacked three times," said O'Neal, who was playing in only his second game. "I thought I was going out maybe to punt after a safety. And the closer I got to it, I realized they're putting the ball inside the 1-yard line. So, I thought, 'This is going to be tight.'
"Matt Snell was my personal protector at that point in time and in the huddle, I told Matt, 'Whatever you do, don't back up.' Well, he backed up. But I think it probably helped me get into that punt because when you shorten your last stride, you can gather and really pop it. And I'm thinking that's what happened."
O'Neal's punt, from about five yards deep in his own end zone, landed at the Broncos 33 and bounded down to the goal line, where Denver's Bill Thompson grabbed the ball and ran laterally before being tackled a step from the goal line by Wayne Stewart.
"They did announce before I got over to the sideline that it was a new record. I didn't think that much about it, I just wanted to stay focused on what I was doing," O'Neal said. "The biggest mistake I made was not going and getting the football, but they didn't do that sort of stuff back then.
"Nobody seemed to make a big deal out of it. Weeb Ewbank, the coach at that time, three days later, congratulated me on the punt."
That wasn't long after O'Neal was being congratulated for making the Jets. Something that may not have happened if it wasn't for Texas A&M football coach Gene Stallings' need for gasoline.
"I went to A&M on a track scholarship (for high hurdles and long jump) and they found out I could punt a football," O'Neal said. "I didn't get to punt that much the whole time I was in high school unless the punter was tired. He got hurt the last four games my senior year, and I stepped in and did really well.
"Gene Stallings supposedly was friends with a guy who owned a service station in (my hometown) Hearne (Texas), and he would stop there and fill his car up when he was passing through. He was voicing concern for a punter, and the owner told him, 'Well, you've got the best punter in the state at A&M right now running track.' He got my name and talked to Charlie Thomas, who was the track coach, and told Charlie to tell me come talk to him. So, it went on from there."
The Jets would choose O'Neal in the 13th round of the 1969 NFL Draft, just 17 days after winning Super Bowl III.
"I was surprised. I really didn't know that much about the Jets other than they were in the Super Bowl," O'Neal said. "(New York's director of player personnel) George Sauer Sr., called and asked if I'd be willing to play for the Jets if they drafted me. Curley Johnson was their punter, and he was a good punter, but I didn't know he was coming off knee surgery. So, that might have prompted them to look a little harder. Right place, right time."
With the Jets for four seasons from 1969-72, and one season, 1973, with New Orleans; what makes O'Neal most proud of his time in the league?
"I think just being able to play in the NFL," O'Neal said. "I had probably four out of five good years – two exceptional years, two good years, and one year I wish wasn't even on the record. That season, we played 14 games, and in eight of them, it was raining and windy. I wasn't doing well that year. I was in a rut.
"There wasn't a punting coach. I actually watched ballgames on television, and (then-St. Louis Cardinals punter) Chuck Latourette, I played against Chuck in college, he was from Rice. I was watching him punt and it just clicked. I thought, 'That's what I'm doing wrong.' I was dropping the ball too close to me and I wasn't extending to make contact. I made a change and the last four or five games, I did well."
O'Neal did well in his second career, too. Following football, he enrolled at the University of Tennessee in Memphis and became a dentist. Practicing for 40 years in Bryan, Texas, he retired in 2015.
He and his wife, Judy, make their home in College Station. They have two daughters: Lindsay Grantham and Lesley O'Neal; and four grandchildren.

Home News Miner TNG Looks To Green Hydrogen Reduction Of Ores
Miner TNG Looks To Green Hydrogen Reduction Of Ores
Mining company TNG Ltd is considering using hydrogen rather than coke in the processing stream for its planned vanadium-titanium-iron project at Mount Peake in the Northern Territory.
The company has engaged Metso Outotec to study ways of utilising hydrogen as a single reductant as part of TNG's novel Tivian hydrometallurgical process flowsheet envisaged for the mine.
TNG is separately been studying in partnership with German-based engineering firm SMS Group the potential for green hydrogen production at the site to provide a source of hydrogen.
According to TNG: "The use of hydrogen is a key part of the company's medium to long term strategy to reduce its net carbon footprint from processing operations at the Mount Peake project."
Following beneficiation at the mine it is envisaged that ores will be transferred to a rotary kiln where coke would traditionally be added to reduce iron oxides.
Now it is looking at incorporating Metso Outotec's Circored hydrogen technology with the aim of reducing the project's carbon footprint.
TNG CEO Paul Burton said: "We are very encouraged by the opportunity to potentially reduce carbon emissions from the processing operations at Mount Peake by using Metso Outotec's Circored technology.
"TNG aspires to make the Mount Peake project a class leader in terms of carbon emissions and the use of renewable energy, and we are actively assessing opportunities across the mining and processing to help us achieve this objective."

Bart Casella reviews the judgment in NCA v Baker & Others handed down yesterday.
Bart Casella
UNEXPLAINED WEALTH ORDERS DISCHARGED
NCA v Baker & Others [2020] EWHC 822 (Admin)
In a reserved Judgment following a two day hearing in March this year Mrs Justice Lang has discharged 3 Unexplained Wealth Orders ("UWO" or "UWOs") and related Interim Freezing Orders ("IFO" or "IFOs").
The IFO's were obtained on an ex parte application heard by Mr Justice Supperstone in March 2019 in relation to five properties located in London. The properties were owned through a number of holding structures and corporate vehicles but the ultimate beneficial owners were said to be members of "Kazakhstan's political ruling elite".
UWOS
I have previously written extensively on the subject of UWOs in previous articles. However, by way of a short summary, a UWOs requires the respondent to provide a statement (1) setting out the nature and extent of their interest in the property in respect of which the order is made (subsection 362A(3)(a)); (2) explaining how they obtained the property (subsection 362A(3)(b)); (3) where the property is held by trustees of a settlement, setting out such details as may be specified (subsection 362A(3)(c)), and; (4) setting out "such other information in connection with the property" as may be so specified (subsection 362A(3)(d)). The order may also require the respondent to produce 'documents' of a kind specified or described in the order (subsection 362A (5)).
If the respondent fails 'without reasonable excuse' to comply with the requirements imposed by the order within the period specified by the Court, the property is 'presumed' to be recoverable property (i.e. property obtained through unlawful conduct) for the purpose of any future civil recovery proceedings under Part 5 of POCA 2002, unless the contrary is shown (subsection 362C(2)). If the respondent complies (or purports to comply) with all of the requirements imposed by the order, the presumption will not apply (section 362D). The enforcement authority will then need to determine what (if any) enforcement or investigative proceedings are to be taken in relation to the property under Parts 2, 4, 5 or 8 of POCA 2002.
Respondents' application to discharge the UWOs
The Respondents provided three principle grounds for inviting the Court to discharge the UWOs, as follows:
There had been errors of law and approach by the NCA in the application of the requirements for the making of a UWO, as set out in section 362B POCA 2002.
The NCA had made material non-disclosure to the Judge at the ex parte hearing and there had been inadequate inquiry by the NCA.
The information subsequently available demonstrated that the Orders sought and made were done so on a flawed basis.
Property 1
The NCA's case was largely based upon inference as to the circumstances in which the properties were acquired. It was alleged that the proceeds to acquire the properties was from monies obtained by unlawful conduct of Mr Rakhat Aliyev ("Mr Aliyev") which had been laundered. The Respondents relied upon the principle established in R v Anwoir [2008] EWCA Crim 1354, [2008] All ER 582 where the Court of Appeal held, per Latham LJ at [21], that where the Crown seeks to prove that property derives from crime by evidence of the circumstances in which the property is handled, it must be "such as to give rise to the irresistible inference that it can only be derived from crime": See also: R v MK and AS [2009] EWCA Crim 952 per Hallet LJ, at [12]; National Crime Agency v Khan & Ors [2017] EWHC 27 (Admin), per O'Farrell J at [27]. Mrs Justice Lang found for the Respondents and held that the manner in which in which the properties had been acquired and handled did not give rise to an "irresistible inference" that it had been from the product of unlawful conduct.
The NCA's assumption that Mr Aliyev was the founder of the Villa Magna Foundation in relation to "Property 1" was rebutted by the cogent evidence that Mrs Dariga Nazarbayeva ("Mrs Nazarbayeva") (the ex-wife of Mr Aliyev) was the founder of Villa Magna and the source of its funds, and the ultimate beneficial owner of Property 1. In relation to whether the property was vested in the First Respondent Mrs Justice Lang did not consider that there was reasonable cause to believe that he was a trustee of the settlement, whether under the definition in subsection 1123(3) Corporation Tax Act 2010 or at all; rather the property was vested in the Villa Magna Foundation which held the legal interest in Property 1.
In relation to property 2 and the NCA allegation that the trust arrangement for holding the property was a sham Mrs Justice was not persuaded that the arrangement was a sham; this was despite some of the paperwork for the trust being "sloppy". Although the NCA placed significant weight on the "complex and secretive" manner in which Property 2 was purchased by a BVI company, and subsequently transferred to a Curacaoan private foundation (which is subject to very limited publicity requirements) Mrs Justice Lang found that the case did not create the required irresistible inference that the acquisition and handling of the property was a product of unlawful conduct. The NCA's assumption that Mr Aliyev had been the founder of Manrick, the property holding vehicle, and provided its funds, was unreliable. It was rebutted by the cogent evidence that Mrs Nazarbayeva was the founder and beneficiary of Manrick, and that the original source of funding for the purchase of Property 2 was a legitimate bank loan.
The third to fifth properties were apartments and were collectively referred to as "Property 3". Mrs Justice Lang made similar findings in relation to Property 3 as she had done in relation to Property 1 and Property 2; the NCA's case had not established the irresistible inference required.
Mrs Justice Lang also decided that the Income requirements and Politically Exposed Person / serious crime requirements were not met by the NCA.

Petitioner was convicted of aggravated murder, ORS 163.095 (1987), based on conduct that he undertook in 1987, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment with a 30-year minimum, pursuant to ORS 163.105 (1987). In 2019, the board found that petitioner was likely to be rehabilitated within a reasonable period of time and, accordingly, changed the terms of his confinement to life imprisonment with the possibility of release to parole pursuant to ORS 163.105 (1987). The board was then obligated to set a release date for petitioner in accordance with the "parole matrix" in place in 1987, when petitioner committed his offense. Janowski/Fleming v. Board of Parole, 349 Or. 432, 453, 245 P.3d 1270 (2010) ("[W]e conclude that the legislature intended the board, having converted the terms of a
[322 Or.App. 775] prisoner's confinement to life in prison with the possibility of parole, to set a release date in accordance with the parole matrix in place when the prisoner committed his offense.").
To set a release date using the parole matrix in place at the time petitioner committed his offense, the board was required to designate both an "offense severity rating" (based on the offense petitioner committed) and a "risk assessment score." See, e.g., OAR ch 255, Ex C (1985).
In 1987, at the time petitioner committed his offense, the board's rules designated both aggravated murder, ORS 163.095, and regular murder, ORS 163.115, as offenses with an offense severity rating of "7." OAR ch 255, Ex A (1985). For offenses with a severity rating of 7-such as petitioner's...

Last month, a steady stream of them turned up to the opening of the £500,000 extension to the Lisson Gallery in London, expecting canapes and cocktails. Imagine their frustration at being confronted by a sheet of corrugated iron across the entrance. "It was as though they were saying: 'Just get me inside and give me a drink. That's what I've come for.'" So the invitees weren't so much frustrated at being deprived of an aesthetic experience, but angry because they couldn't get inside for champagne and nibbles? "Obviously," says Sierra. "I mean, there were 10 other openings in town that night. And the aesthetic experience was right in front of them. The corrugated sheet was beautifully made. They just weren't ready to look at it."
Now that's what art is about, I think; more so than pretty landscapes, portraits of sportsmen and prime ministers and safe, bourgeois decorative objects. More in the realm of conceptual terrorism.
This coming Sunday has been declared a day of mourning for the Bali victims. At least they're keeping this secular around here; none of this "national day of prayer" mumbo-jumbo, and no snide implications that secularism is a moral deficiency and atheists are borderline sociopaths who do not belong in society.

PAYE changes due to come into effect and how they will effect small businesses
All employers in the UK are being urged by HM Revenue and Customs to get ready for major PAYE changes that come into effect in three months' time.
In April 2013 employers will have to start sending PAYE returns electronically, using RTI-enabled payroll software, to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) each time they pay their employees as part of routine payroll processes. The returns will include details of all employees' pay, tax and deductions. This new process will replace sending a separate return at the end of the year.
To be ready employers should follow these three easy steps:
1. Visit a PAYE Expert Accountant, like Tax Affinity, for comprehensive information about RTI, including how to prepare, payroll software options and hints and tips to help avoid some common pitfalls.
2. Acquire new or updated payroll software – employers will need to talk to their PAYE Expert Accountant or their payroll service-provider (if they have one) about this.
3. Start checking and updating employee information. It's vital that the information employers have about their employees is accurate and up to date.
Ruth Owen, HMRC's Director General Personal Tax, said:
"To avoid a last minute rush it's vital employers act now, if they have not already done so.
"Employers will need to send their first return – called a 'Full Payment Submission' or 'FPS' for salary or wage payments made to employees on or after 6 April – and if they have 250 or more employees they will have to send an Employer Alignment Submission before the first FPS.
"Although reporting PAYE in real time will be straightforward for most, some preparation is needed. There is more to it than simply buying or updating software – although this is key. Employers may need to add employees such as casuals or those below the Lower Earnings Limit to their payroll system and must think about their payroll practices to make sure that they work for real-time reporting."
Background about the new HMRC RTI - PAYE
Employers are required to begin to report in real time in April 2013, unless HMRC has specified a different date.
The RTI pilot was launched in April 2012 with just 10 employers. Since then, the pilot has expanded three times. By 31 March 2013, HMRC expects PAYE records for around 6 million people to be reported in real time.
Reporting PAYE in real time will bring it into the 21st century and will allow HMRC to receive information on employees' earnings, tax and National Insurance Contributions as they are paid, rather than at the end of the year. RTI will make it easier for employers to administer PAYE and will make tax more accurate.
RTI will also support the operation of Universal Credit – the Government's flagship welfare programme – which brings together means-tested in and out-of-work benefits, Tax Credits and support for housing, and will improve work incentives and make work pay.


You may get the inspiration of a great new business every now and then. When the light in your head goes off, now is the time to get that business up and running. This article should help you get started on your online business.
Before even thinking about getting your site ranked, you'll need to build a terrific website. Creating a well-designed website is an essential first step for your business. The better your website looks and functions, the less effort it takes to maintain.
TIP! When considering advertising your site, evaluate the different ways you can go about that. You can use social networking, blog posts and even posters in area businesses to help advertise your site for little or no cost.
Get frequent feedback. This is important because if you have one view of your website and your customers have a different view, your website will not be successful. Request feedback from family, friends and anyone willing to give it. You do not have to use all the advice you are given, but at least you will be able to consider it.
Web marketing can seem difficult. But don't get discouraged and quit. You gain absolutely nothing from giving up. Be organized before launching your website, especially if you are selling a product or service. Success in any pursuit requires dedication and work and Online marketing is no exception. Bear in mind that the effort you put into building your internet marketing presence will pay off in results.
TIP! More subscribers means more profits. Split testing is an effective way to determine best methods since it offers different web pages to different groups.
You should invest time to learn how to design websites. Find things out online about HTML or CSS to know what you need to do. Take a half hour each day to study and within a couple of weeks you should have enough knowledge to apply what you have learned to your site.
Make sure to have detailed records and statistics. This should include refunds, sales, traffic, referrals and anything else you can think of. Watching your stats helps you to make Affiliate marketing choices, as you will have a good idea of what is working and what is not.
TIP! A website can have several sections, each with a different type of product. Remember, adding variety to your page is beneficial but you still want to keep your page structured.
Email is a very important tool for marketing via marketing. Keep your emails clean and keep them protected. Don't use a service that will delete old emails because you may need access to them. You may handle arrangements for archiving messages yourself.
You may want to read psychological studies about online marketing and web design. Many psychological factors can determine how people perceive your product, including the color and design of your site. These tricks can easily improve your business' profits.
TIP! Stay abreast of what your competition is doing. You can easily check out your competitor's web site and see what features they have.
Trust is vital to attracting and keeping customers. Never include faulty or weak claims in your marketing promotions; always be able to back up your content with facts. Use testimonials, expert endorsements, and results on your site to promote your products.
You can always put some products together in a bundle and sell them at a discount. Be sure to clearly state the terms of the offer in your marketing materials.
TIP! Be certain that your website has the information that visitors need. Having a website that's only one page or barely has information on it won't really attract people.
No matter what your product or service is, you have to be able to generate profits. We hope this article has been helpful to you and provides information that will position you for much success. With a little knowledge and effort, you are sure to get great results.


This winter has been hard. Not only has the farm seen such a growth in winter riding tours but the weather has not been all that great… terrible in fact.
But there´s an upside 🙂 Spring is almost here and we´re looking forward to it. We have a lot of work in the coming months. Half of our herd has been on their winter break. A seven month vacation of just eating, realxing and being horses. Soon we´ll round them up to the farm and get them ready to take over from the ones that have been stabled this winter to give those horses a break.
When this is done it´s time to fix things winter broke, a neverending circle 🙂 Roofs were damaged in the big march storm and the barn will undergo a major fixing up this summer. Fences will need mending and riding trails will need some love as well. Vehicles need tending and then the stables will see some changes late summer.
Due to the popularity of the Blue Lagoon lately we recommend making reservations for the Blue Lagoon combo tour with at least a few days advance.
The new laxnes.is site is almost fully formed offering language selections in english, german and swedish with more coming soon! The site uses the latest tech making viewing on mobile devices and tablets easy and quick loading. With the online booking system you now have quick and easy access to our tours on the Icelandic horse and other activities in Iceland.
laxnes.is is undergoing major overhalls these days with new tours on the Icelandic horse available for next summer and new features. The most noteworthy one is the ability to follow the farm at #laxneshorsefarm on Twitter, instagram and facebook. don´t miss out!
Our combination tours Horses & Golden Circle and Horses & Blue Lagoon now have an online discount.
Starting now our Laxnes special and Day at the farm riding tours will have an online discount when booked through our site.
The discount will be visible on the second page of the booking stage.
Winter is almost here and we´re working hard to get everything ready. Our horses in Viðey island are being transported back to "the mainland" and will head directly to their winter grazing area. Next we´ll sort our herd into two groups like always where half will get winter shoes and the others will join our Viðey herd on a nice winter long vactation.
Horseback riding in Iceland in the winter season is like nothing you´ve ever done and we´ll make sure you´re warm while you´re out.
This is a limited request tour to our 12 of june 2014 departure lasting 2 days.
Ever since we put up the new laxnes.is site, which includes this blog the comment system has been bombarded by spammers. The idea was that our visitors could leave comments which we could approve and post on the site. We wanted everyone to have the chance to talk about the Icelandic horse, our riding tours, the farm… even our loveable dog.
The reality however is that spammers hit the comment system with over 100 comments a day and the work of actually finding a relevant comment takes way too much time. The site will be getting some updates soon and with that the comment system will probably be shut down. We will however try and make our facebook page more obvious to visit directly where visitors are encouraged to write comments or ask questions.
