Mike Cruickshank is one of the the internet's professionals when it comes to making RISK FREE income online, with literally thousands of customers using his services on a daily basis – many of which have made well £1000 very quickly. His new service, Profit Maximiser, is already generating staggering results, and profits for his members. We have checked this programme out, and to say we are extremely impressed at the potential profits would be an UNDERSTATEMENT.
Now that has to get your attention!
Profit Maximiser also comes with a 100% 30 day Money Back Guarantee, so you have nothing to lose by trying this.
OK, What is Profit Maximiser, and how do I make the profits?
Easy, Mike Cruickshank is an expert at finding, and exploiting online opportunities where websites allow profit opportunities, but the difference is, that Mike has found ways that make these profits 100% risk free. There are particular websites where bonuses are given away just for trying them website's services, and the topics to try are very popular. It could be bingo, playing roulette for free, and much more – all of which is risk free.
How Much Can I make using Profit Maximiser?
As already mentioned, some of the secrets Mike is going to divulge have started making £100 per day, as well as an array of opportunities to pick up consistent profit on a daily basis.

What Results are Other People Generating?
A quick testimonial below from one of Mike's customers will give you an ideal example of what people are making with this. This particular customer made £80 in 5 minutes!
This customer made over £11,400 in only 5 months!
Sounds Good, I am interested, where can I find full details?
It is a few weeks old this, but sure makes money. Mike is a genuine man, and makes SURE that you make your money. I have tried a few things in the past, and the support has been here and there but Mike is a sound guy, and I have made money from both products he has put out so far.
How much money have I made with this new maximiser, that would be telling, but let's just say it is a very nice membership to have 😉 Carl.
Yes, we researched this for a few weeks before mentioning it here, and it really is a fantastic product that Mike offers. A no brainer, as they say.
It makes money pretty easily from the offers we participated in.
The above will then show you a full explanation of the programme.
Excellent. I joined profit maximiser membership yesterday and already onto the tasks to make the money. Thanks.
Great. Already in profit using this. Some easy cash to be made here.
Great to see that this is working for you. We made some great profits too when we did our research.
A great membership, and a must for all looking for consistent profits throughout a whole year.
Cannot fault this so far, have made some money already, and as the other people have said, the support really is great.
Great comments so far on profits being made, and we just wanted to show you something from facebook group, where people are making as much as £1250 a DAY.
There really is a no lose situation with this one, and a month's trial that we advise you take up before the membership gets closed. There is no risk, and the profitable opportunities come thick and fast. Remember, we have tested this for our members, and made fantastic profits, and we are 100% certain that you will, too.
Nice and easy. I had trouble getting into the membership as my spam filters were messing around, but once in, I was up and running quick. I have made money today already. Cannot wait to get stuck in properly.
This is as good as it sounds. Excellent so far.
Well guys, let me tell you about the great work that is being done.
I have made well over £1300 since joining the membership a few weeks ago, and it is easy.
It does not get any easier than a,b,c than this one.
Excellent profits there. Very good to hear about that.
This membership has created a lot of interest so far, and very many members are in profit already. We do receive a lot of emails about this, and so far members seem to be over the moon with what they are making.
We do advise members, and people who are thinking about it to give this one a go. Profit Maximiser definitely has our full backing, after the profits we made during research, and testing, together with the feedback we have already received from our members.
A few months into this now, and making some decent money every month.
Top guys running it, and very responsive to questions. Remember it is in their interest that this makes money for you, and it definitely does. Just follow the advice and take the money on offer.
Hi. I can only reiterate what others have said on this page. I am also a member of Mike's Facebook group, and some of the money being made is very surprising. I myself have been 'at' this for a few weeks, and have added nearly £700 to my coffers.
Not bad from a standing start. This was not completely new to me, but as everything is almost done for you, it makes the whole process of making money very, very east indeed.
It is safe to say I am very, very pleased so far, and so is my bank account.
Yep, it works. Mike is a good guy and looks after you and makes sure you make money!
Hi Its good and making me some good numbers so far. Keep it coming.
£150 made on this on Saturday. Well chuffed.
Mike Cruikshank, the author of the extremely popular Profit Maximser sent us an image today from one of his customers who has so far made over £4,000 using the service.
This is similar to bonus bagging as others have also said, but this is much more profitable. Again as others have said you must keep a detailed list of where the profits have been taken from, and you are good to go.
I have made my money back and way more so far. Did I say to make a list? lol. Mike is a top chap and helps you all the way. An easy way to make money if I ever came across one online.
Just wonted to how much can you make with profit maximiser every day if you was spending 5-6 hours a day??
Mushtaq if you had that amount of time to spend per day you would definitely make money with this, although you don't really need that much time.
Thanks, made some money with this already. It is guaranteed as long as you follow what Mike teaches in the tutorials. Excellent so far.
That image by the admin a few posts up is bang on. I am in the same facebook group and there are quite a few people with similar stories of similar amounts. This thing works very well, I myself have made a few hundred quid but I have only just started and I just wanted to put my point across to anybody that may still be on the fence regarding this. Just do it, there is some good money waiting for you!
Is this product only those in the UK as well?
Mike who runs it is a top guy.
Great value. I made the year's money back in a week.
Impressed with the start I have had. I am a member of the other programme Mike runs, and that gave me the confidence to join this one too. Top notch and profits are being made almost every day. Keep up the good work Mike Cruickshank! This really is some of the EASIEST money you will ever make!!!
Thanks for the email, but already knew about this prog, as been using it for a few weeks already.
Don't hesitate. It makes fantastic money. I have made more than £470 since starting, and still have 11 months left to make more. Mike is a top guy and also answers emails very quickly if you are not sure of something.
I am seriously thinking of buying this product because of the reviews. Do you pay tax on the earnings? Thank you.
There is no tax to pay on these profits.
After using this for 5 weeks I can truly say it is the best thing since sliced bread. I needed some support at first and the support team were totally great with me as I had never done it before and they are used to answering such questions.
After the first week and then after understanding it all *with help from support team* I started and made about £240 in my first week, then another £337 in my second week, and now after 5 weeks I am well over £1300 in profit.
This product has my total recommendation, and so does the support team. If you are not sure, then just go for it. I had no experience at all, and now it is second nature to me making the profits.
Any downsides to profit maximiser? Yes, not starting it earlier!!!
I also started the method advertised by this website too, the *make 50 quid a day* one, and doing well with that also. The moral of my experience is that you just have to try these things, and they work when they have a great support in place to answer the questions.
I have read so much baloney on the internet that the only places I have found the real deal is this website and the 50 quid product and Mike's profit maximiser, both true gentlemen with excellent credentials and are both true to their word.
You guys should see what is being written on the Facebook group about this. People are caning profits using this, including myself.
I made £98.50 the first 2 hours of using this. Great way of making money and there is no risk!!!
Just a quick update to our customers are getting on with Profit Maximer. Andrew Napier has made over £11,400 since joining the course in just 5 months, and has even placed the profits into an ISA, making himself even more tax free money.
Join Profit Maximiser today, and take your share of this easy, easy money.
Why is it limited to residents of the UK. Some of us outside the UK should be given chances to make money too.
Would be glad if slots are available for us.
Fantastic service this is. Not much more to say I have made hundreds from it so far.
this product is the dog's nuts for money to be made I echo what many others have to say about it if you buy it make sure you ask them about their facebook page because even before you start you will see lots of people who are making money with this it immediately put my mind at ease and then I was able to start taking up the offers That is what I advise you do. This works I aonly wish I was starting it again as you make most of the money early on but even so with 7 months down the line i have easily cleared about 4k!!
It\s too bad that it doesn't work outside the UK I have seen this product a few years back and contacted Mike he's super fast getting back to you and was really excited until he told me it doesn't work outside of the UK and I live in Canada. I'm glad people are making some good money.
Congrats to all now I need to see if any of what Jason recommends will work in Canada.
I cannot fault this so far.
I joined last week, and making some good money. Profit nearly every day so far, and Mike is fantastic at repsonses to emails if you don't understand something.
Joined a few weeks ago, and well over 600 in profit, why doesnt everybody do this?? It is not difficult you just follow what they say and take the money from where they advise. First class so far and well impressed with the support also.
I joined this yesterday thanks to an email from this forum, and this is exciting. The membership area gives some instant areas of where to make the money. I have already made some money from it today. Carnt wait to get properly stuck junto this. I am busy tomorrow and over the weekend, but I'll jump back onto the money offers on Monday and expect t make my investment back quick. I am halfway there after just one day, and remember folks this is a 12 month membership, which I didn't realise in my haste to join, but was a welcome afterthought.
Great value, and some easy money with this. The offers to profit are plentiful so far. Well pleased.
Congratulations to Mike and his team for producing such a profitable, and truly revolutionary membership service – again!
I easily made my investment back on the same day.
Can anyone tell me how much money is required to start making money with this program?
You can start small with this, maybe a £100 or so and build up your profits that way.

Q: show/hide div depending if specific class in viewpwort I try to create a fixed positioned area, which should hide, when a specific area is in the viewport. When the div is outside of the viewport, the fixed area should be shown again.
I use jquery.viewport for it.
My HTML:

Sticky

My JS:
  $(window).scroll(function () {
      if ($('#section-2').is(':in-viewport')) {
            $( ".sticky-info" ).fadeOut( 100, function() { });
      } else {
            $( ".sticky-info" ).fadeIn( 100, function() { });
      }
  });

Here is the fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/cnx4pvxu/
In my fiddle, it works perfect.
But if I try in my own dummy page, it fades out, but do not fade in again (like in the fiddle). But it's complete the same like in the fiddle...
Here is the dummy page: http://tanzstudio-ludwig.de/test.html
What am I doing wrong? Or is there a better solution?

A: You must define height and width of body.
It seems that $().is( ':in-viewport' ) works based on height and width of body.
Simply, add body { height: 100%; width: 100%; } to your CSS.
Or not use document.elementFromPoint() instead of jQuery function.

A: In case you are interested in non jquery way
var one = document.getElementById("one")
var sticky = document.getElementById("sticky")

window.addEventListener("scroll", function() {
  var c1 = one.offsetTop > window.pageYOffset
  var c2 = (one.offsetTop + one.offsetHeight) > (window.pageYOffset)

  if (c1 || c2) {
    sticky.style.display = "block"
  } else {
    sticky.style.display = "none"
  }
})

You can see it working here https://jsbin.com/garokag/edit?js,output
This solution doesn't depend on css props to get height of element, it picks it directly form DOM. However displaying sticky whenever "one" is in view port doesn't necessarily mean it will always appear at bottom on "one"

Costly, dangerous food allergies on the rise
@CP_KimMulford
It's a summer day with five kids at home, and Meg Falciani is in the midst of a minor crisis.
Her 10-year-old daughter, Celia, has broken out in hives and Falciani is watching to see if she needs to rush to the hospital again.
Allergic to nearly everything edible (she has three "safe" foods), Celia also has eosinophilic esophagitis, a condition that makes it difficult for her to swallow.
She receives most of her nutrition from elemental formula given through a tube. But keeping food away from a growing fifth-grader isn't easy.
"She had some Gatorade she never had before," Falciani explains, while keeping an eye on Celia. "It could be something like that, or it could be a piece of bread."
The Franklin Township family of seven knows the "watchful waiting" drill. Every one of them has a food allergy or condition that restricts their diets.
Falciani checks food labels for peanuts and tree nuts, shellfish, dairy, soy, mushrooms and anything with gluten. She prepares most of her family's food at home, and stocks epinephrine pens to buy time in case of a life-threatening allergic reaction.
The family's grocery bill is $500 to $600 a week, not including expensive elemental formula for two kids.
Food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances are on the rise in the U.S., and the reasons why are still unknown. But the problem costs families a lot of money, studies have found.
A person with special dietary needs adds an average 30 percent to a family's food expenses, according to Dr. Ruchi Gupta, author of "The Food Allergy Experience."
About one in 13 children have a potentially deadly food allergy. Affected families spend nearly $1.6 billion on special food, she found. And the cost for elemental formula — a product not always covered by insurance — is "astronomical."
"This is what parents are spending the majority of their money on — making sure their child has the right food," noted Gupta.
They have no other choice, explains Dr. Christopher Chang, who heads Nemours duPont's Division of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology. While clinical trials are under way on oral immunotherapy for food allergies, such treatments are only available on an experimental basis.
While perhaps one or two patients out of every 10 Chang sees have a true allergic reaction to a food, the treatment for sensitivities is the same.
"Avoidance is really the only treatment methodology we have right now," says Chang, who sees patients in Voorhees.
Some food allergies are relatively easy to avoid, including peanuts or shellfish. Common ingredients such as milk, soy, wheat and egg — as well as allergies to multiple foods — make eating safely more difficult.
In some cases, Chang refers patients to a nutritionist to help them gain enough weight.
For children with multiple food allergies, she says, "it's hard to find alternatives. If they do find alternatives, it does become expensive."
Kelly DeTurk of Deptford can tick off the prices of specialty products for her 5-year-old son, Bobby, who has 11 food allergies.
Allergy-friendly products such as corn pasta are increasingly available in the grocery store — but at a price. A small bag of marshmallows or a box of fruit snacks can cost her $4; a peanut butter substitute might amount to $5.50.
But Bobby is not the only one eating a restricted diet. Though the rest of the household isn't allergic to them, DeTurk doesn't buy products containing eggs, shellfish, fish, peanuts, tree nuts or coconut — her son's riskiest foods.
Keeping them out of the house limits the risk of cross-contamination.
"When you compare it to other products that are out there, it's sometimes double the price," DeTurk notes.
Until their insurance policy started covering it, the Falcianis paid $1,000 a month on special formula for one child. Now on a new insurance plan, Meg Falciani is not sure if they will need to pay for it out of pocket again.
"You do what you've got to do, basically ... without it, my kid would die."
In 80 percent of cases, children outgrow food allergies by adolescence, a change best revealed through a skin or blood test, followed by a "challenge" procedure. That means a patient spends a long morning in the doctor's office, trying increasing doses of the food to see if he or she can tolerate it.
In the meantime, families must remain vigilant and prepared for accidental exposure, explains Gupta, whose latest research examines the impact of food allergies on low-income families.
For some, the prohibitive cost of special food makes it harder to keep children safely fed. It's also difficult for parents to take time off from work when a child experiences an allergic reaction.
The rising number of children with allergies is also costly to the food industry, Gupta explains, as more customers must turn to allergen-free products.
Eight foods account for 90 percent of all reactions, according to the advocacy group, FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education): milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish and shellfish.
"It really pushes the message that we need to make safe foods available," says Gupta. "Food allergies are becoming so common.
"It's really important that we have those safe foods available at a reasonable cost for all families."

Travel / 48-Hour Guides / Express Guide to: Toronto, Canada
Express Guide to: Toronto, CanadaBy Alicia Grimshaw
Planning the perfect trip to Toronto? We've got you covered. We absolutely love Toronto – it's such a fun, vibrant city; the people are friendly, the restaurant scene is unbeatable, and there's plenty of things to do regardless of budget.
This guide doesn't scratch the surface of how much Toronto has to offer, however, we've whittled down our favourite things to do, and, of course, eat. The city's residents love Toronto. We love Toronto. And here's why this Canadian city should be next on your holiday list:
Toronto Guide: Where to Stay
For a Room Fit For a King: Fairmont Royal York
The Run-Down: Filled with charm, class and steeped in history, Fairmont Royal York is a Toronto institution. Following a recent multi-million dollar guest room revitalisation, the hotels offers modern downtown comfort in a historic part of town. The hotel is home to a pool and health spa, complete with brand new exercise equipment, and four dining and drinking options including the Library Bar – a secluded watering hole serving world-class cocktails.
The Rooms: Fairmont Royal York houses a total of 898 Luxury and Signature Rooms across 11 floors. Fairmont's Luxury Rooms feature one King, one Queen or two Double Beds with an upgraded sleep experience, sleek furnishings, a work desk with extra outlets and media hub, and a Keurig coffee machine.
Where: 100 Front St W, Toronto, ON M5J 1E3, Canada
For a Chic Stay: The Drake Hotel
The Run-Down: A hot bed for culture, community and fairly priced cocktails, The Drake Hotel on Queen St West goes far beyond the hotel blueprint. They've mastered the urban retreat; a rooftop bar, seasonal driven menus from morning until late night, Drake Underground – a basement club which regularly hosts local DJs and up and coming artists, and a separate mid century inspired lounge area.
The Rooms: Rooms range from the cosy nook rooms right up to the spacious XL suites. Planning to stay a few nights? The S Crash Pad is an intimate room, and is an unapologetic escape for couples, business folk and anyone passing through. It's adorable, yet trendy with high ceilings, chilled vibes and all the comforts you need.
Where: 1150 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1J3, Canada
Toronto Guide: Where to Eat
Toronto's food scene is popping; you can eat the world without leaving the city. It's multiculturalism runs through the veins of Toronto's restaurant industry, and the city is finally getting recognition on the world stage. The food offering is interesting, diverse and most of all, delicious.
For a Chinese Feast: Luckee
The Lowdown: Chef Susur Lee is the mastermind behind Luckee, a high-end Chinese dim sum restaurant focusing on classic dishes and dim sum from the culinary traditions of Guangzhou, Hunan, Shanghai and Szechuan regions. Luckee deserves to have its own star on the Toronto Walk of Fame, or some sort of award. This is honestly one of the tastiest Chinese feasts we have ever eaten. It's traffic haltingly good.
Eat and Drink: Where to start, where to start. Well, the pudgy steamed parcels of a prawn and pork are a good place to get things going. The menu is designed to be shared, so over order on everything and get your chopsticks stuck in (every dish is a certified banger). Our picks are the dumpling four ways; shrimp dumplings, presented into the shape of a lobster (#InstagramYes); the glossy, sickly sweet char siu pork ribs, and superb Thai rice noodles.
Where: 328 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ontario
For Street Eats: St Lawrence Market
The Lowdown: A former city hall and jail house from 1845 to 1899, St Lawrence Market first opened as a public market in 1902. Since then, having undergone a renovation in the 1970s, St Lawrence Market continues to attract locals, lunch time dwellers and tourists thanks to its massive, and varied selection of street food stalls, artisan bakeries, butches, bakers and candle stick makers. A fancy food hall with more selection that Harrods, grab everything and anything from pizza slices to homemade jam, freshly baked bread and larder essentials.
Eat and Drink: An iconic Toronto eat is the world famous peameal bacon sandwich (named so because of the cured bacon made from pork loin was originally rolled in ground yellow peas), and you can grab one at Carousel Bakery, an historic bakery stall that has been dishing this sarnies up for decades. Carniceros sure know how to make a good chilli cheese dog, St. Urbain's original Montreal-style bagels are unmissable, and St Lawrence Pizza and Pasta bake excellent carb creations.
Where: 93 Front St E, Toronto, ON M5E 1C3, Canada
For Sweet Bites: Wander's Pie in the Sky
The Lowdown: Founder by Wander Beaver, Wander's Pie in the Sky is well known on the bakery circuit in Toronto. Famous for homemade pies, bakes, cookies and treats – Wander's Pie in the Sky sells everything to satisfy your sweet tooth. Pies are sold whole or by the slice (more of a wedge), and served with a range of tea, coffees, or lunchtime salads if you're feeling peckish.
Eat and Drink: BUTTER TARTS. Gloriously filled, little buttery, flaky butter tarts that will have you stock piling the lot into your suitcase. And pies; deep-filled, light and short crust, dessert pies. We're not lying when we say the pie selection is huge: cherry pies, coconut cream pies, key lime pies, banoffee pie, chocolate and peanut butter pies, and peach praline pies. Honestly, we could go on. Did we mention they bake really. good. butter. tarts?
Where: 287 Augusta Ave, Toronto, ON M5T 2M2, Canada
Toronto Guide: What to Do
For an Adrenaline Rush: The CN Tower Edge Walk
The Lowdown: The CN Tower dominates the Toronto skyline – the city's tallest landmark (553.3m) – and remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere. The CN Tower has a number of attractions including their LookOut level with a glass floor and foor-to-ceiling panoramic window walls, and the 360 restaurant. Enjoy your beef sirloin in the comfort of the restaurant, sure, or your picture perfect pose behind the safety glass, or you could think to hell with that, and book yourself a place on the CN Tower's Edgewalk. We did, and we're not sure if we've recovered.
What to Expect: The Edgewalk is an adrenaline junkie's dream: walk on the roof of the CN Tower's restaurant, a terryifing 356m above ground. The whole process takes around two hours – you're first harnessed up and checked before heading up for the 30 minute edge walk experience. The views are insane. Just don't look down.
Where: 301 Front St W, Toronto, ON M5V 2T6, Canada
For Local Shops and Cafes: Kensington Market
The Lowdown: Kensington Market is a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood in Toronto; a maze of narrow streets and alleys, lined with brightly-coloured Victorian houses. There's everything here; ethnic restaurants, vegan hangouts, vintage shops, cheese shops, cafes, art and galleries.
What to Expect: Streets upon streets of quirky boutiques, and everything your purse and stomach requires. We especially like Global Cheese for fromage from around the world, Burganator, for the finest burger creations in the city, Urban Catwalk for new and vintage clothing, and Modern Citizen for clothes and accessories made by local designers.

Owner versus Guardian
By: Jeffrey Smith, DVM
A campaign to legally change the term pet "owner" to pet "guardian" in municipal codes and possibly statutory guidelines in states was launched in 1999 by In Defense of Animals (IDA), a nationwide animal rights group based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The platform for the campaign, according to the IDA Web site, is "to reflect growing public support for a redefined public standard relating to animals." The term "guardian" appears in statutes, but that the word usually appears as "guardian of the person" or "guardian of the minor" or a variation on that theme. According to legislative counsel, it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for a court of law to interpret current "guardian" laws to apply to animals. If a statutory change on "owner" vs. "guardian" were to occur, it could very possibly have adverse consequences for the veterinary profession and animals.
While the term "guardian" may reflect current emotional and social trends of the human relationship with animals in our society, the legal ramifications of making such a change in terminology from "owner" to "guardian" have far reaching consequences that may not always be in the best interest of animals or society. Furthermore, there is nothing to suggest that changing the definition from "owner" to "guardian" would lead to better treatment of animals. People who mistreat animals are going to do so regardless of their legal status: a "bad owner" would undoubtedly be a "bad guardian." Some unintended consequences of changing the status of ownership of animals to guardianship of animals may include the following:
. An owner, by law, bears full legal responsibility for his or her animal. In the legal sense, an animal is considered personal property, owned and protected by the individual. Such ownership protects a pet from being taken away without due cause, but also places responsibility on the owner to care for his or her animal in a safe and humane manner. An owner is legally responsible for his or her animal's welfare, protection and actions during its lifetime. A guardian, on the other hand, would have limited or temporary possession of the ward (animal). This may result in the following scenarios:
. The guardian not being able to make medical decisions regarding that animal.
. Third party intervention on how the animal is treated/managed, directed at the guardian and veterinarian.
. It may become illegal to buy or sell animals.
. Public safety could be jeopardized since guardians do not have the same legal responsibilities regarding managing the actions of aggressive or dangerous animals.
. There could be significant impact on the livestock industry.
. Inability to sell/trade animals for breeding or slaughter.
. Raising animals as an agricultural commodity may be jeopardized.
. Third party intervention on how the animal is treated/managed may cause lawsuits or liabilities that could impact the economics of the industry.
. Governmental agencies could possibly face significant costs.
. Replacement of all paperwork and posted signs to reflect the change in terminology.
. Establishment of a system to protect these wards (animals) if a guardian were to fail in his or her duties.
. Establishment of a system to oversee guardians.
. Court time and costs associated with a third party lawsuit over the removal of guardianship, where perceived care does not meet the third party's standards.
. A change in the status would cause difficulty and lawsuits when local government tries to enforce its animal control and public health regulations, since all city, county and state laws are predicated on the fact that animals are property, albeit a special class of property.
California already has some of the strongest animal protection laws in the United States that provide for the welfare and safety of animals in the state. Instead of changing terminology that in some ways may be detrimental to our state's animals, the smarter course is to support continued enforcement of current animal welfare laws.

Rinomhota revels in making first team debut
Midfielder says fellow young Royals can be proud after Carabao Cup victory
Apologies, this video is unvailable.
Sign in to iFollow Royals
Royals' Academy product Andy Rinomhota was delighted to make his full first team debut, in our 2-0 victory against Gillingham in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
The young midfielder was one of a whopping 10 players to come from our youth system, to make up the squad at Madejski Stadium in midweek.
Gallery: Young Royals put two past Gillingham en route to Second Round
Rinomhota, 20, put in a sterling performance in central midfield alongside fellow Academy graduate Liam Kelly, with the youngster feeling proud to get his chance to show his talent in senior football.
"It's an unbelievable feeling," he smiled. "On a personal note, I've been working hard recently and training with the first team in pre-season, it looks to have paid off getting my chance in the cup game! It was great to sign it off with a win, and getting into the next round.
"I only missed one game last season in the under-23s and in the Checkatrade Trophy, that was really good experience for me and all the other lads who played in that.
"It gets us used to first team football and what you could be coming up against in the Championship. Playing with the first team players, there's a much higher tempo but they're experienced, they make it easy for you and they help the young lads out."
There were first starts for Academy products Sam Smith and Omar Richards in front of a home crowd last night, with new signings Mo Barrow and Pelle Clement also making their first Madejski appearances on Tuesday night.
The bench was packed with Academy talent, as well as the fans witnessing a welcome return for midfielder Stephen Quinn following a long-term injury.
Axel Andresson also came on to make his first senior appearance off the bench, with Rinomhota heaping praise on his young team-mates who made the step up against an experienced League One side.
Stam compliments first team fledglings

These are those Shaligrams which are found in Gandaki River. They are generally jet black / blue in colour and does not have golden and crystal impressions in them. However some small sized shaligrams with white impressions may be found at Gabdaki river since they are small and can roll down along with bigger jet black shaligrams. All the shaligrams which are jet black are categorised in "Auspicious Shaligram category" on www.shaligram.com. The donation of these shilas are less comparatively. Devotees please note that now even black shaligrams are not availble in Gandaki rivr since the villagers around the Gandaki river fish them out and sell them in the market.

John Cabot
John Cabot's Early Life
John Cabot's First Voyage
John Cabot's Second Voyage
John Cabot's Legacy
John Cabot (or Giovanni Caboto, as he was known in Italian) was an Italian explorer and navigator who may have developed the idea of sailing westward to reach the riches of Asia while working for a Venetian merchant. Though the exact details of his life and expeditions are the subject of debate, he was born in 1450 and by the late 1490s, he was living in England, where he gained a commission from King Henry VII to make an expedition across the northern Atlantic. He sailed from Bristol in May 1497 and made landfall in late June. The exact site of Cabot's landing has not been definitively established; it may have been located in Newfoundland, Cape Breton Island or southern Labrador. After returning to England to report his success, Cabot departed on a second expedition in mid-1498, but is thought to have perished in a shipwreck en route.
Giovanni Caboto was born circa 1450 in Genoa, and moved to Venice around 1461; he became a Venetian citizen in 1476. Evidence suggests that he worked as a merchant in the spice trade of the Levant, or eastern Mediterranean, and may have traveled as far as Mecca, then an important trading center for Oriental and Western goods. He studied navigation and map-making during this period, and, similarly to his countryman Christopher Columbus, appears to have become interested in the possibility of reaching the rich markets of Asia by sailing in a westward direction.
Did you know? John Cabot's landing in 1497 is generally thought to be the first European encounter with the North American continent since Leif Eriksson and the Vikings explored the area they called Vinland in the 11th century.
For the next several decades, Cabot's exact activities are unknown; he may have spent several years in Valencia and Seville, Spain, and may have been in Valencia in 1493, when Columbus passed through the city on his way to report to the Spanish monarchs the results of his western voyage (including his mistaken belief that he had in fact reached Asia). By late 1495, Cabot had reached Bristol, England, a port city that had served as a starting point for several previous expeditions across the North Atlantic. From there, he worked to convince the British crown that England did not have to stand aside while Spain claimed most of the New World, and that it was possible to reach Asia on a more northerly route than the one Columbus had taken.
In 1496, King Henry VII issued letters patent to Cabot and his son, which authorized them to make a voyage of discovery and to return with goods for sale on the English market. After a first, aborted attempt, Cabot sailed out of Bristol on the small ship Matthew in May 1497, with a crew of 18 men. The expedition made landfall in North America on June 24; the exact location is disputed, but may have been southern Labrador, the island of Newfoundland or Cape Breton Island. When Cabot went ashore, he reportedly saw signs of habitation but no people. He took possession of the land for King Henry, but hoisted both the English and Venetian flags.
Cabot explored the area and named various features of the region, including Cape Discovery, Island of St. John, St. George's Cape, Trinity Islands and England's Cape. These may correspond to modern-day places located around what became known as Cabot Strait, the 60-mile-wide channel running between southwestern Newfoundland and northern Cape Breton Island. Like Columbus, Cabot believed that he had reached Asia's northeast coast, and returned to Bristol in August 1497 with extremely favorable reports of the exploration.
In London in late 1497, Cabot proposed to King Henry VII that he set out on a second expedition across the north Atlantic. This time, he would continue westward from his first landfall until he reached the island of Cipangu (Japan). In February 1498, the king issued letters patent for the second voyage, and that May Cabot set off from Bristol with about five ships and 200 men.
The exact fate of the expedition has not been established, but by July one of the ships had been damaged and sought anchorage in Ireland. It was believed that the ships had been caught in a severe storm, and by 1499, Cabot himself was presumed to have perished at sea.
In addition to laying the groundwork for British land claims in Canada, his expeditions proved the existence of a shorter route across the northern Atlantic Ocean, which would later facilitate the establishment of other British colonies in North America.

The trifecta: three kiss-offs backstory 3
July 2009. The tumor continued to grow after first receding with Avastin treatment. The surgeon is going to operate to reduce the mass in Laura's head.
MRI. We were prepared for obstacles and bureaucracy, but our arrival at the surgeon's office was over the top. First a nurse came out and said that the surgery had to be postponed for three days. They could have called and saved us the trip. Probably some new patient had been put on the operating room list for the next day, and the nurse had been put in the role of the airline gate attendant trying to see who will take a later flight. Laura did not want a later flight. Her extreme distress, to put it mildly, sent the nurse running back to the surgeon. After a while, the nurse came out again to say that the surgery was back on for the next morning. When we went over to the hospital for the MRI, which was scheduled for 5:30 pm, we had to wait until about 7:20 pm before Laura went in. She didn't leave with her films to return to the surgeon's office until 8:30 pm. There, a very nice nurse finally did the prep work on Laura's head, pasting wafers all around to guide the surgeon's imaging as he cut. She told Laura about an elderly Italian in-law who recited Dante in the original. As we drove away that evening, Laura and I considered to which circle of Hell certain people belong.
Pre-Op. The previous evening had been just a warm up. We waited from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. for Laura to go into the operating room. As instructed, she had had nothing to eat or drink since the night before. After enough complaining, we finally got them to run an IV line around noontime to keep her hydrated. Needless to say, Laura was spitting nails at the nurses all afternoon, even as she was finally being sedated and wheeled into the OR.
PACU. Laura got out of surgery about 7 p.m. The surgeon said that he had been able to remove tissue from one area of the tumor. Laura was not feeling well when I arrived in the PACU, but she was coming back to form before I left, challenging the nurse as to exactly what she meant when she said Laura's labs were "awesome."
Laura waited the next day for assignment to a room. All the ones for neurosurgery were full. Paul and I went upstairs and checked for ourselves. Laura was awake, alert, and anxious to get out of there. Because of the nature of her surgery, Paul explained, she needed to be in a telemetry bed (i.e., hooked up to all sorts of monitors). There were not enough telemetry beds on the floors for all the patients who needed them. It sounded like this was not a new situation. Two of the nurses told me to call Patient Services to complain. They'd been through this before, and had to deal with the frustration of patients and families. Of course, Patient Services was closed and did not reply to my voice message.
Laura spent a second night in the post-op area. To describe her as unhappy would be too weak. I'm certain that her nurses would not have used those terms to describe her mood. Before we left, Paul and I had gently admonished her not to take her frustrations out on the nurses. From the look of her nurse in the morning, we had not been heeded.
Advice is cheap. We were not trapped with Laura in a post-anesthesia care unit. This one held six beds with privacy curtains around each bed. All during the day patients were being brought into this room from the OR. All day you could hear patients coming out of sedation or being roused out of sedation by the nurses. Lots of moans and groans and confused questions and exclamations. Explanations and answers by the nurses at a level needed to cut through the din and the anesthesia. Nurses and aides rushing back and forth with medicines. Families coming in to see the patient. Surgeons and consulting doctors visiting the patients. Other patients being wheeled out to go to a room. Noise. Lights. Movement. Somewhat less during the night, except for the emergency surgeries and trips out for MRIs.
Laura spent her second day in PACU waiting to find out if she would go up to the room that was finally opening up or if she would be discharged first. Even though visitation was restricted in the recovery room, the nurses let me stay with Laura an hour and a half on her second morning in the PACU. They were kind, but I also gave them a buffer. Laura was sitting in a reclining chair. Her bandages had been removed. She was sleepy because she'd been in a busy room for two nights, and they had taken her out for an MRI in the middle of her second night. Despite that, by the afternoon she was in much better spirits than the previous two days. Laura made it upstairs to a bed at 3 pm. We found out that she did not hold the record for being trapped in the PACU. Someone else was there for 9 days!!!
The doctor kept Laura in the hospital another night to make sure she was stable enough to go home. When I arrived the next morning after dropping Anne Mei off at camp, Laura was sitting in bed, dressed, and ready to go. Unfortunately the floor she was on had been noisy the night before, and they had come in every hour or so to stick her with something new.

So, this is most likely ok, and it's certainly a good thing, but as long as we're here to try to find every small problem I'm gonna ask anyway.
Today I launched the game. The graphics was set to "higher" ("highest"? can't remember the name exactly, but it's the best one), filters on, wide field of view, everything to max settings. I played a whole match like that; it was more than playable, but the game kept on frameskipping a bit too much (in a strange way actually; I didn't really have a low framerate, it was like a 60/70 fps constant stream losing two or three frames every 10 or so).
Anyway, I quit and set everything to the lowest setting, took out all the heavy filters and left only dynamic lights and the other basic stuff. From then on the game played perfectly, I haven't seen a single frame getting lost since, which is great.
The point is: I didn't really see quite a difference between the lowest and the highest settings. On the contrary, if I were showed the two videos I would have thought only the blur and the flare effects were gone, but the texture quality didn't change at all.
The fact is I can't just go in and check of course, so what I ask is: should I see a huge difference between "low" and "higher" main graphical settings or not? Because I can't rule out the possibility that they actually didn't change at all even when I tried to, and that taking away the other effects was enough to get a better performance.
I'm actually going to accept this as a major win, lol. We had a bug at one point during development that the detail settings didn't do anything, but they actually do. We've gone to great lengths to make sure that we made as best use of textures as we can, so the main difference in what you'll see between High and Low are particles. There are moths flying around lights, fog sheets in some areas, that kind of stuff that slower PCs can't always handle (it's a lot of transparency). I've seen the memory comparisons on it and the Low settings use quite a bit less texture memory, the overdraw (transparency drawing overtop of itself from particles) is much less, and character textures aren't as high, but otherwise they're pretty close.
Yes, the game with the lowest graphic settings still looks damn good and plays incredibly smooth, which I guess is a major win for a free to play (also still in alpha). Good job guys.
I did not see any options for DX11 support yet (Tessellation etc.) Will there be any later on when the full release comes close?
Cause I do expect a bit more graphic power in full release but on high it runs now smoother then it did before the latest patch.
And you can crank that up ;) Might also do some driver tweaks with nvidia inspector or similiar apps for other gpu's.
I can indeed turn it on that way, but that does not mean the game supports it. Rather have it implemented.
We don't currently have any plans for DX11 features like tesselation.
Oké thanks for letting me know Eric.
You... What? I'm having trouble with the game precisely BECAUSE of the textures! Are you seriously saying the game won't have different texture qualities? Do you not realize how utterly backwards that is and how many people you're going to be leaving out in the cold? Would it be impossible to have texture quality as a separate setting?

Veteran reporter Jim DeRogatis is no stranger to strong allegations against R. Kelly: He's the reporter who in 2000 received the sex tape that prosecutors alleged showed the singer having sex with a 14-year-old girl, and which led to Kelly's highly publicized 2008 trial on child-pornography charges. And while that case was ultimately dismissed, multiple allegations of sexual misconduct have surrounded the singer since the mid-1990s — including his brief and illegal marriage to singer Aaliyah, when she was just 15 — and DeRogatis has reported on all of them.
Thus it was not entirely surprising to see his byline on Monday morning's bombshell, a BuzzFeed News article wherein three sets of parents claim that Kelly is holding their daughters in an abusive "cult." The new report claims that the young women fell under Kelly's sway after being brought to him by their parents in an effort to further their musical careers, but that he then "brainwashed" them.
According to parents and the former associates, Kelly keeps several young women at his homes in Atlanta and Chicago; replaces their cell phones with ones specifically used to communicate with him and forbids them to contact their families; requires they call him "daddy" and ask permission to leave the studio or their residences; films their sexual encounters with him; and abuses them physically and verbally. The three former Kelly associates who support the parents' claims — Cheryl Mack, Kitti Jones, and Asante McGee — have gone on the record to support the parents' claims. While some of the parents, who have not seen their daughters for many months, have contacted police, the young women claim that they are not being held against their wills. (Reps and an attorney for R. Kelly had not responded to Variety's requests for comment at press time.)
The report withholds the identities of the young women but claims BuzzFeed News has verified their identities — and in the interview with DeRogatis below, the writer says he expects the parents to hold a press conference imminently.
Why are the young women named in the story anonymous?
The parents intend to come forward — they've always wanted to, but we at BuzzFeed would not name the victims of domestic abuse so we are respecting their privacy by not using the parents' names in the story. But [Jones, Mack and McGee] were fearless in speaking on the record with their names — two women who were part of the "cult," as one woman and the parents call it, who had sexual relationships with Kelly and left, and the third woman on the record is a woman who worked for a year and a half for him as a personal assistant. But probably not for long — the parents have said they're going to hold a press conference in Atlanta, possibly very soon.
How did this latest development in the story reach you?
As you know, I've been on this story since 2000 — the videotape that got him indicted and tried and acquitted came to me when I was a reporter at the Chicago Sun Times, and because of all that work, the two parents from Georgia came to me in November. The Georgia parents' daughter stopped going to college and began living with Kelly midway through her fall semester, in October or November of 2016, and they've only heard from her with two texts and seen her once in that time, and that's the entirety of their communication with their daughter.
If any of the accusations against R. Kelly are true, how does he continue to get away with it?
I think there are two factors here. One is that parents know he was acquitted [in 2008] but they don't necessarily know the long, detailed history of the many accusations from civil lawsuits dating back 25 years. They want to believe the best of a man whose music they love. All of these young women were promised musical careers, like Kelly gave Aaliyah — and let's not forget the history there, he married Aaliyah illegally at age 15 under a falsified Cook County [Illinois] wedding license at a hotel near O'Hare airport, and that marriage was annulled and they were separated. None of that evidence was ever brought up at his child-pornography trial. So the parents believe that they will have a career for their daughters and the daughters want that very much, and they trusted a man that parents say they perhaps should not have trusted.
Number two, the music industry continues to enable him. He appeared on Jimmy Fallon on December 23 singing Christmas songs. He's got an endorsement deal with Alexander Wang. He headlined a show Saturday night in Merillville, Indiana; he's on tour today. Lady Gaga made a song and video with him ["What Do U Want"] three years ago — it doesn't stop, and people are not questioning whether they should be in bed with him. A representative from his record company did not respond to requests for comment; we have three cellphone numbers for Kelly, he did not answer; and his civil attorney gave us a one-paragraph answer that is in the story. So I don't think the record industry was unaware — they were certainly aware and I don't think they cared.
How is that possible?
Look, I'm a fat, white 52-year-old guy. It's been said by African-American scholars who've written about this, most notably Mark Anthony Neal, that if it had been one white girl, this would have been a different story. But it continues to be young African-American women that he's preying on, and I can't think of anybody who the media cares less about. It's horrifying to me. These parents are devastated, they've been living in hell for a year and a half.
There were photos of Kelly in prison togs in 2002, public sentiment seemed to be dramatically against him, and yet the case dragged on and he was acquitted. How did that happen?
It's rape culture. The fact that the girl in videotape and her mother and father never testified in the trial — despite three dozen other people testifying: relatives, basketball coaches, ministers, teachers, friends, best friend's families — they never heard from the young woman in the videotape. She continued to be part of this R. Kelly "cult," as it's been described, along with her best friend from high school. So I think the fact that we've never met the young woman in that video tape — who was allegedly 14 years old when she was having a sexual relationship with R. Kelly — it remains in the realm of gossip and Dave Chappelle skits and jokes in the "Barbershop" movies. We're not thinking about the very real damage to these young women.
And why other reporters — except for Jennifer Vineyard at MTV News [in the 2000s and] Jessica Hopper for The Village Voice — have never followed up like they did with the Bill Cosby story is an indictment on entertainment reporting, in my opinion. The culture of celebrity journalism, the culture of the music industry, and the fact that African-American victims in general are often not believed in domestic and sexual-abuse [incidents] created a perfect storm of things that have not yet produced a Bill Cosby moment for R. Kelly.
Also, there's a judge in Chicago who heard that case, Vincent Gaughan. It took six-and-a-half years to go to trial, it broke all records, and every 6-8 weeks the judge would convene the prosecution and defense in the courtroom for a status update. He would immediately retire to closed chambers, and everything that happened every six to eight weeks for six-and-a-half years remains sealed. The Chicago Sun Times, the Chicago Tribune and Chicago public radio sued to get those transcripts opened, it lost in the Illinois appellate court and the Illinois Supreme Court. So nine-tenths of what happened in the R. Kelly trial remains sealed from the public record, and to this day we do not know what other evidence has been prohibited from open court. In my opinion — based on research and lots of evidence — Kelly has gotten considerations from the legal system that no other citizen would have gotten.
Have you tried to speak with the girl in the videotape?
Oh my god yes, we were on her doorstep when we got the video. She's never spoken to the media. She has a story to tell, whether she ever decides to tell it.
But the parents of the young women who are in the "cult" have no legal recourse?
No, and they're incredibly frustrated and they've done everything you would think a parent could do. They went to police in Florida, Georgia and Chicago, they have had well-being checks conducted and the women come out and say we want to be here and they're of legal age, so the police and lawyers can't do anything. But the Georgia parents have spoken for several hours with the FBI, which will neither confirm nor deny an investigation to us, but [the parents are] optimistic that perhaps the FBI can help.

Scarlet Fever MemorialPrint Page
Photographs supplied by Arthur Garland
Thomas Jillett`s crypt in the Oatlands Cemetery was built as a monument to his 3 young children who all died within 3 weeks of each other in February 1859, of scarlet fever.
The crypt was restored and rededicated in April 2012. A plaque was added which also commemorated the 6937 children under the aged of 10 who died between 1850 to 1860 and many of whom are buried in unmarked graves across Tasmania. The restoration was completed with 50% funding from the Australian Government`s Historic Sites Program.
There are two Jillett Family crypts in the St Peter's Anglican Cemetery, one built by John Jillett and the other by Thomas Jillett. They were built in memory of their 7 children who all died within 6 weeks of each other in 1859, of scarlet fever.

Servants for Sight provides the training, focometer and eyeglasses for your team. In this way we are able to expand our reach. If your mission team is interested in dispensing eyeglasses on your trip, please contact us at info@servantsforsight.org.
We train missions groups to provide eye clinics and eyeglasses on their own mission trips. Using a device called a focometer, your team can determine the eyeglass prescription for individuals you are serving. We provide reading glasses and supplies to help determine the proper strength for an individual to be able to see things up close and read God's word! We will provide your team with the training, focometer, and eyeglasses needed to give the gift of sight to those in need. To download a Focometer Mission Group Form, click here.

In Togo West Africa we have been able to screen over 1,000 people and handed out over 350 pairs of glasses over our two trips to Kpave and Agou villages.
Our team consisted of 12 dedicated people. We were in Cuba from July 23rd – July 27th. We stayed in the missionary housing in Alamar, which is about 30 minutes away from Havana. Alamar is centrally located to where we went and did street ministry daily. We would then return to the same area that night for house church. We did 130 eye exams, had 68 salvations and baptized 24 people in the ocean! Praise the Lord!

You may override the compile-time defaults by running gnugo with the option `--cache-size n', where n is the size in megabytes of the cache you want, and `--level' where n is the level desired. We will discuss setting these parameters next in detail.


I remember the day as vividly as if it were yesterday, the day when you and George V. sneaked into town from Dörögd. When they told me that you must leave right away, I felt as if I'd been struck by lightning. I couldn't even think of the reason then, as I was lamenting over my recent very nervous behavior toward you. I was unhappy that you couldn't understand how much I missed our house and the store in it, probably because it had taken me such a long and hard time to get used to them. I almost lost my sanity when we were evicted by the Arrow Cross, the Hungarian Nazis. I felt like beating myself to death because of my inability to explain these feelings to you. How hard did I try to hide my pain from you, because I'll never be ashamed to admit that you were the most important to me. It is impossible to describe how much trouble they gave me; how often I was found unconscious while you were away in the forced labor camp. I just prayed to God all the time to give me strength so I would be able to show you a happy face for those few hours we could spend together.


All the magical moments of a new snow spread across each of these pages. The steady rhythm of Christine Ford's joyous ode to snow follows two youngsters as they trudge along with their sleds in tow to exult in a day of winter play'from building a snowman and sledding to a hot chocolate warm-up at the end. Painted and paper-collage illustrations capture all the cool contrasts a blanket of white can bring.

The Brookings Institute offers an analysis of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), which according to recent research, are nearly twice as effective at moving students from low-income households to higher tiers of postgraduate earnings.
The analysis pinpoints enrollment disparities between HBCUs and predominantly white four-year institutions, specifically highlighting that HBCUs enroll far more low-income students than their non-HBCU peer institutions, and earn higher scores for social mobility outcomes.
While PWIs spend more per student and help graduates to earn more wealth, the raw number of black graduates earning more than the households from which they came is far greater from the smaller, historically black institutions.
Everyone understands the open-access mission and the academic casualties which can be associated with it: lower graduation rates, lower retention rates and higher loan default rates. But this research shows college leaders that there is a culture of learning and opportunity for students who are not born into college preparation and access, and there should be room for these students to earn degrees without being priced out of attendance.
Executives at HBCUs and community colleges should seek every opportunity to share individual success stories of graduates making good on the open access mission, and sharing data that compares the performance of low-income students at elite institutions with similar entering credentials, versus those at less selective schools. This will begin to shape the narrative of how higher education should work for all and should be funded equally across varying sizes and impact objectives between schools.


We propose a content-adaptive analysis and representation framework to discover events using audio features from "unscripted" multimedia such as sports and surveillance for summarization. The proposed analysis framework performs an inlier/outlier-based temporal segmentation of the content. It is motivated by the observation that "interesting" events in unscripted multimedia occur sparsely in a background of usual or "uninteresting" events. We treat the sequence of low/mid-level features extracted from the audio as a time series and identify subsequences that are outliers. The outlier detection is based on eigenvector analysis of the affinity matrix constructed from statistical models estimated from the subsequences of the time series. We define the confidence measure on each of the detected outliers as the probability that it is an outlier. Then, we establish a relationship between the parameters of the proposed framework and the confidence measure. Furthermore, we use the confidence measure to rank the detected outliers in terms of their departures from the background process. Our experimental results with sequences of low- and mid-level audio features extracted from sports video show that "highlight" events can be extracted effectively as outliers from a background process using the proposed framework. We proceed to show the effectiveness of the proposed framework in bringing out suspicious events from surveillance videos without any a priori knowledge. We show that such temporal segmentation into background and outliers, along with the ranking based on the departure from the background, can be used to generate content summaries of any desired length. Finally, we also show that the proposed framework can be used to systematically select "key audio classes" that are indicative of events of interest in the chosen domain.


Steve Pollack will 'excel' at Asante Kotoko says Yusif Chibsah as he backs the former Berekum Chelsea manager to lead the Porcupine Warriors to glory.
The former Kotoko player is confident that the Brit will lead his former club to the height it deserves if given the 'needed support'.
Steve Pollack joined Asante Kotoko after the first round of the Ghana Premier League and has helped stabilised a club that were on a winless streak. Kotoko started with Zdravsko Lugarusic and was handed the marching orders before team manager, Gordon Ablordey took over the club playing just a game before Frimpong Manso came in to complete the first round. Pollack was appointed after the first round and is yet to lose a game since his appointment and has won the Presidential Cup.
Ahead of Kotoko's game against Inter Allies at the El Wak Stadium tomorrow, the former midfield dynamo of Kotoko told Agoo TV; "Steve Polack is a good Coach, if you consider his time at Chelsea and now with Kotoko". "I think he will help the club a lot".
"Kotoko is a big club and the expectations are always high but I know he will excel with the club if he is given the needed support, he continued.
Asante Kotoko lies 3rd on the Ghana Premier League log with 35 points after 21 round of games.


The booking process was easy and efficient. My questions were answered quickly and the staff in the office was all so sweet and easy to work with. On our big day, our driver was amazing! He arrived on time and was very flexible with any request we had. He even helped to keep potential photobombers out of the way when we stopped to take pictures. Thanks for making our day even more special!
I loved everything about this company. I booked them 1.5 years in advanced for my wedding. I thought I may have to contact them to confirm everything but they beat me to it!!! They were professional and the driver was amazing. He even volunteered to run back to the church when we forgot something, he suggested picture locations, and he did not complain when we all started singing in the back of the limo (trust me, were not good singers at all). I would hire them again!
So happy that we booked with Birmingham Limousine! They were easy to work with and very professional from the beginning. The girls at the office were knowledgable and pleasant to talk to, always accomodating and able to answer all of my questions. They called the day before the wedding to confirm and I realized I had made an error on the arrival time, this was changed without any difficulties what so ever. On that day the driver arrived on time. The limobus was amazing, far better then expected. There was a table with booth style seating, captain chairs, and benches/couches. Everything was clean and well maintained. The style of the bus was updated and looked brand new, my bridal party was very impressed. They had an area for our bevarages and provided champagne and glasses. The driver was very professional, got us where we needed to be and got us there on time. There was a port so that we could connect our phones to the stereo and play the music of our choice. We had a great time on the bus and do not regret booking Birmingham for one second, I was apprehensive in booking transportation because I didnt think it was necessary but I am so glad we did, it was the first moment we had to sit back and relax as a newly married couple and we had a blast!
The party bus for our limo was just a described. The driver was friendly and timely. We definitely recommend them!
Thank you for the kind words and best wishes to you.
I cannot say enough good things about the limousine service for our daughter's wedding! It was the first big snowstorm of the season. The driver was so accommodating in the snow. He easily agreed to change locations for photographs due to the weather. He was friendly and prompt. Definitely suggest Birmingham Limousine!
We got their new limo bus that was only a few months old. It was AMAZING. It was clean, had champagne stocked and glasses. The limo itself was very nicely laid out and easily fit a large party. The driver was courteous, clean and on time as well. A great experience all around.
The best limo company to work with! From the time I called to the time the party bus picked us up everything was great. Every employee has great customer service. Very friendly!! We couldn't have asked for a better company to work with. The price was very reasonable and affordable especially since we needed a bigger party bus because we had a big bridal party (9 people on each side). Our driver was great! The party bus was awesome. We got so many compliments on it. They are great. We will defiantly use them again in the future for any of our other traveling needs. We highly recommend them!!
We used the H2 Hummer Limo and and it beautiful, clean and the complimentary champagne was amazing! Our limo arrived early and was always ready to go wherever we decided.
Fantastic! thank you! driver was courteous and fun to work with! very polite and entertaining. I'll be recommending! :) thanks!
Birmingham was great to work with, very flexible, on time, professional. Did wedding and bachelorette party. Driver was great, took good care of the girls and remembered each of them at the wedding and was so personable!
Arrived on time, with a big umbrella because it rained right at theat moment! Stopped multiple places as the bride and groom requested and got them to the reception venue on time. Wedding party was very pleased with the trip and thouroughly enjoyed themselves.
They were spot-on time at the church ... they driver was very friendly and accomodating. He knew the area very well and was willing to drive us around. I was impressed with the cleanliness and professionalism of the limo and service.
We used Birmingham's Limo Bus for our wedding party. They followed my husband in our Rolls Royce for pictures, then took the wedding party wherever they wanted in between pictures and the reception. Since my husband and all his groomsment were BG grads, the limo bus took them bar hopping in BG for an hour. Our wedding party raved at how great the limo bus was.
Great to work with, but felt we paid lots for only using the drive time for an hour out of the 3 we had to book...but this is with all the companies. They did provide a discount for the shuttle we had for guests at our hotel.
Birmingham Limo has a fantastic fleet line-up and their drives are excellent! My husband used them for his bachelor party, they went up to MIS for the day. The driver was early, and extremely friendly. We then used them for our wedding as well-the 26 passenger bus, and we were not disappointed. Roomy, comfortable and our driver was excellent. My only complaint is they do not respond to emails quickly at times, and they did mess up the accounting with my payments. I corrected their invoice for them by providing payments I had made and once it was escalated to the CEO, Mike, it was quickly resolved. I appreciated him taking the time to look at the issue and correct it, however, it did take several emails to the "info" email before it was escalated to Mike. Either way, a small bump in the road for otherwise truly excellent vehicle offerings and drivers. We would use them again in the future, if needed and highly recommend them for your wedding day or other needs!
Thank you Lindsey. We love hearing positive words about the work we put in every day.
This was a great limo service. They were on time and efficient. Limo was clean and up to date. Driver was professional and funny. I will use this limo service in the future.
Great limo package, adn affordable. Limo came color coordinated and had two bottles of champagne for us to enjoy. I would definitely use them again.
