Reports and Analysis
Singapore – Proposed Key Changes To The Companies Act.
Legal News & Analysis – Asia Pacific – Singapore – Corporate/M&A
In October 2012, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) released its report containing responses to the Report of the Steering Committee for Review of the Companies Act. The object of the review of the Singapore Companies Act (Act) was to reduce regulatory burden and ease compliance, while retaining an efficient and transparent corporate regulatory framework that supports Singapore's growth as a global hub for both businesses and investors.
The MOF will seek public feedback on the draft Bill in the earlier part of 2013 and is targeting to table the amendment Bill to Parliament thereafter in the same year.
Set out below is a summary of the key proposed changes:
Extending Directors' Disclosure Requirements to Chief Executive Officers
Presently, most of the disclosure obligations in the Act are imposed on directors. It is now proposed that Chief Executive Officers will also be required to disclose:
(a) any conflict of interests in transactions or proposed transactions with the company; as well as
(b) their shareholdings and interests in shareholdings in the company or related corporation(s) and changes thereof.
Allowing Public Companies to Issue Shares with Different Voting Rights Under the current regime, public companies may only issue shares carrying one vote per share.
Under the proposed changes, public companies will be allowed to issue classes of shares with different voting rights, subject to the following safeguards:
(a) shareholders must approve the issuance of shares with different voting rights via a special resolution;
(b) information on the voting rights for each class of shares must accompany the notice of meeting at which a resolution is proposed to be passed;
(c) companies must specify the rights for different classes of shares in their articles of association and clearly demarcate the different classes of shares so that shareholders know the rights attached to any particular class of shares; and
(d) holders of non-voting shares will have equal voting rights on resolutions to wind up the company or to vary the rights of the non-voting shares.
For public listed companies, the Singapore Exchange and the Monetary Authority of Singapore will separately evaluate whether companies with dual class share structures should be permitted to list and whether listed companies should be allowed to issue non-voting shares and shares with multiple votes. The concern here is that by allowing dual class share structures in listed companies, this may lead to entrenchment of control in one class of shares to the exclusion of the other class(es) of shareholders.
Enfranchising Indirect Shareholders and CPF
Investors MOF is proposing that indirect shareholders and retail investors who use their Central Provident Fund (CPF) monies to invest in public listed companies be given the rights to attend general meetings in person, as if they were direct shareholders. This will be done by giving nominee companies, custodians and CPF nominee entities the right to appoint more than 2 proxies (under the current regime, a direct shareholder may only appoint up to 2 proxies) to attend and vote at general meetings of companies. This is being done to allow more active participation in shareholder meetings, and "strengthen the culture of corporate governance".
Lowering the Threshold for Calling a Poll to 5%
The MOF is proposing that the threshold for shareholders to demand that voting be done by poll be lowered from the present 10% of total voting rights to 5%. This is the same threshold at which a person becomes a substantial shareholder of a company. A lower threshold will enhance corporate governance as a poll vote is more representative of shareholders' rights and interests.
Abolishment of Prohibition against Financial Assistance for Private Companies
The MOF is proposing that private companies be permitted to give financial assistance for the acquisition of its own shares or those of its holding company, consistent with the position in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. The MOF expressed the view that private companies are often closely held and shareholders should have greater control over the decision to give financial assistance.
A public company and its subsidiary companies will still be prohibited from giving financial assistance for the acquisition of the public company's shares. A new exception may be introduced to allow a public company or its subsidiary to assist a person to acquire shares in the company or those of its holding company if giving such assistance does not materially prejudice the interests of the company or its shareholders or the company's ability to pay its creditors.
Additional Audit Exemption for Small Private Companies
It is proposed that private companies which fulfill 2 of the following criteria:
(a) total annual revenue of not more than S$10 million;
(b) total gross assets of not more than S$10 million; or
(c) total number of employees not more than 50,
will not be required to have their accounts audited although they will still need to prepare and file their unaudited financial statements. Presently, only exempt private companies with annual revenue of not more than S$5 million, or companies that are dormant for any given financial year are exempt from audit requirements.
Requirement for Public Company Auditors to Seek ACRA Approval for their Resignation
The auditor of a public-interest company may be required to seek the consent of the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) before he can resign. This is to prevent companies from being unfairly left in the lurch and will alert ACRA to any potential breaches by the company under the Act. A public-interest company is likely to include a company listed on the Singapore Exchange, a company in regulated industries such as banks and insurance companies and any other entity that raises funds from the public, such as charities. In addition, auditors [will be required to disclose the reasons for their resignations if they serve as auditors of public interest companies or their subsidiaries, and the company will be required to disseminate such reasons to its shareholders.
Discretion to Order a Buy-Out Where Just and Equitable
Currently, the Singapore courts may order a company to be wound up if the court is of the opinion that it is just and equitable to do so. The additional remedy of a buy-out will be useful in cases where the company is still viable, and will be a more efficient solution for the majority to buy out the minority (or vice versa).
Solvency Statements in Amalgamations
Under the current regime, the directors of both amalgamating companies are required to make a solvency statement in respect of their respective amalgamating companies' current solvency, as well as that of the amalgamated company's solvency within a forward-looking 12-month period from the effective date of the amalgamation. Directors have some difficulty with the current requirement and have consequently been reluctant to make such a solvency statement. Under the current proposals, the MOF recognised this issue and is proposing that the directors of each amalgamating company make a solvency statement regarding their respective amalgamating companies and the amalgamated company, as of the date it is formed.

Celebrating First-Generation Students
Events are planned for the National First-Generation College Celebration on Nov. 8.

Valedictory to the College by Melissa Barales-Lopez '22
On Tuesday, Nov. 8, Dartmouth will observe National First-Generation College Celebration Day—a recognition of students, alumni, faculty, and staff who are the first members of their families to attend college—with a variety of activities around campus and online.
In a letter to first-generation students, President Philip J. Hanlon '77 and Dartmouth's senior leadership team describe the day as an "opportunity to celebrate you and everything you bring to our Dartmouth community."
"The determination you've shown in becoming the first in your family to attend college was likely not an easy path," the letter says. "Your experiences and perspectives have not only shaped the incredible person you've become, but are contributing to the personal, intellectual, and professional growth of everyone around you."
Activities on Tuesday will include "I'm First" rock-painting at the First Generation Office; cupcakes at Collis and the First Generation Office; hot chocolate, puzzles, games, and one-on-one career coaching at the Center for Professional Development; and more.
Members of the community can show first-gen pride with downloadable virtual backgrounds, and on social media, students, faculty, and staff are invited to share their stories using the hashtags #DartmouthFirstGen and #DartmouthFirstGenGrads.
Jay Davis '90, director of the First Generation Office and the First-Year Student Enrichment Program, says his office supports 745 undergraduates, and that many students in Dartmouth's graduate and professional schools were also the first member of their families to attend college.
"We are just so excited about this day as an opportunity to be 'loud and proud' about our first-generation students and the unique contributions that they make in our classrooms and the broader Dartmouth community," Davis says. "Dartmouth is joining with hundreds of institutions to celebrate the accomplishments of these remarkable students we are so fortunate to have on our campus."
The Nov. 8 date for the national celebration was chosen to honor the anniversary of the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
The legislation was passed after President Lyndon B. Johnson called for greater opportunities for members of lower- and middle-income families to get an education beyond high school, and created grants, loans, and other programs to make that possible.
First-generation students make up 16% of the Class of 2026. Many first-generation students have found community through the First-Year Student Enrichment Program, which provides a rigorous pre-orientation program and yearlong support designed to help first-generation students thrive at Dartmouth.
During her commencement address in June, valedictorian Melissa Barales-Lopez '22 described how the First Generation Office and FYSEP had "built a space for students like me to voice their anxieties and, in turn, receive strength and encouragement from our peers. I have developed lifelong friendships with other FYSEP students, and here I have found a home."
Like many staff and faculty at Dartmouth, Senior Vice President and Senior Diversity Officer Shontay Delalue and Dean of the College Scott C. Brown were also first-generation college students.
"One of the core elements of diversity is having people with different lived experiences coming together to generate the most innovative ideas. As a first-generation college graduate from a low-income background, I know firsthand the importance of having all voices at the table," says Delalue. "Students who are first in their immediate families to go to college chart a course that is life-changing. While the journey isn't always easy, we can take pride in knowing we bring a unique lens to addressing the world's most pressing problems. I join in celebrating the impact first-generation college students have on our campus here at Dartmouth and in the world."
"I am especially proud of us getting the very best and brightest students, from every background and part of the world," Brown says. "As a first-generation college graduate, I am particularly proud of our first-gen students who enrich and advance the Dartmouth community in so many ways, in and out of the classroom. We celebrate you!"

Revised time tenure of principals in colleges will be introduced very soon. In the previous amendments, service time of principal was 5 years but according to a new decision taken by the University Grants Commission (UGC), one more term has been added to their time tenure following an external peer review committee. The report stated, on November 29, that the time period of college principals is 5 years, with eligibility for reappointment for one more term, after completing the same selection process which is mentioned by external peer review, its recommendations and its outcomes. Guidelines according to which external peer review will work are specified by the UGC.
Current staff is not able to fulfill the minimum qualification requirements of the principal, teaching and academic staff positions in various universities and colleges, that is required for maintaining the higher standards of education. That is why UGC decided to increase the time period of the Principals. The report suggests that clauses 5.6.1(d) of these regulations (September 18, 2010) need to be changed.
Jaspal Sindhu, Secretary of UGC, said that the matter was discussed by the commission in their meeting on November 15, 2016 and the Commission decided to constitute an external peer review committee which consists of the nominee of Vice Chancellors of affiliated universities and nominee of the Chairman of the UGC. The re-appointment of principals will be based on the report given by the peer review committee.
According to the 4th amendment regulations, the new time tenure of the principal is of 5 years plus one term. This rule is applicable to all universities and affiliated colleges that come under the UGC. These rules come into effect from the date of publishing of the official gazette.


Once upon a time there was a young man named T. M. Stevens, who decided to attend Bronx Community College to prepare for the accounting profession. One of the classes that T. M. was required to take was Biology. He became friendly with his professor, Dr. Heller. Dr. Heller and the T. M. became fast friends. As time went on, it became clear to both T.M.and the Dr. Heller that the T. M. was not doing well in school.
One day, Dr. Heller called T. M. into his office and said, "T. M., you love your music and you do it so well. Get the hell out of the College and follow your music." And that is just what T. M. did.
As the years passed, T. M. grew from adolescence into manhood. and his musical career blossomed. His fame spread and his face and name began to appear on the covers of some of the most prestigious music magazines in his field. He also added a joy to his personal life, a woman named Taka, who became his wife.
Dr. Heller also moved on with his life, finding the smartest and most wonderful woman in the world. He asked Rachael to become his partner for life and she consented. They were married and then began Richard and Rachael's rise to fame and happiness.
Richard and Rachael, began to explore the joys of both their professional and personal lives, writing books and traveling throughout the world Scuba diving, white water rafting and generally having fun.
One of the pleasures in life that was very important to Rachael and Richard was something they called, The Grand Mouseketour - every year, travels to every Disney Park in the world. Just to fill you in, there are two in France, two in Japan, two in California, four in Florida, and Disney's newest Park in Hong Kong.
In 1991, Rachael and Richard sold their first book which became a New York Times #1 bestseller. Since then, they have written sixteen more books and now have books in seventeen languages around the world.
Life was and still is good for Rachael and Richard as you can tell by visiting all of the other web pages that are linked in hellers.org.
They have appeared on many local and national television and radio talk shows, including three appearances on the Oprah Show in a seven week period. They have been in People magazine, Disney magazines and are friends of many famous celebrities.
For thirty-nine years, neither the Richard or T. M. seen one another, but every Christmas day, Richard's phone would ring. When he picked up the receiver, he would hear, "Merry Christmas Doc. It's you favorite student calling."
One day Richard called T. M. and said, "You know T. M., we have not seen one another for thirty-three years. Don't you think that it is about time that we get together? Why don't you and Taka should meet us a Disney World."
They came together for a wonderful four days of sharing good food, exciting attractions like the Hollywood Tower Hotel Twilight Zone of Terror at the Disney Studios, Test Track at EPCOT, and just to be together after thirty-three years of physical but not spiritual separation.
Needless to say, they all enjoyed Rockin' Rollercoaster at the Disney Studios.
Dinosaur at The Animal Kingdom.
and Splash Mountain at The Magic Kingdom.
Yes, it was a magical time that the two couples had playing in the Parks. It was an experience that none of them will ever forget.
And of course, what better way to end a perfect four days? Why, sharing a final meal at Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Hotel.
T. M., Rachael and Richard.

Q: React, delay render and hooks I'm learning react and I have weird situation, it's simple in theory but I don't know how to solve it. At first I'm using props.children and I want to render some part of the code when I get the response. I'm kind of solve it in a strange way but I still have errors. So have a look:
function AddCards(axiosResponse) {

  const [cardsCode, setCardsCode] = React.useState(null);

  const handleGetCards = (newCode) => {
    setCardsCode(newCode);
  };

  var firstText = null;
  var cards = axiosResponse;
  if (cards[0]) {
    firstText = [];
    firstText.push(

{cards[0].title}

{cards[0].text}

    );
    handleGetCards(firstText);
  }

  return (
    <ButtonAppBar>
      {cardsCode}
    </ButtonAppBar>
  );
}

function makeRequest() {
  axiosCall(AddCards);
}

makeRequest();

ReactDOM.render(<AddCards />, document.querySelector('#root'));

The thing I wanted to do is to get the response from axiosCall() which returns an array of dicts and use it in the AddCards function. I had a lot of errors and to avoid it I used function makeRequest which calls axiosCall which calls AddCards as a callback (maybe someone knows better solution because that one is horrible I think). But ok, now I'm trying to make it work, I created state so react should re-render when it changed and I made it null by default. And if (cards[0]) checks if response came and it should change the state. But I have an error Unhandled Rejection (Error): Invalid hook call. What should I do to solve it?

A: Either you pass the request response as a prop to your component:
function AddCards(props) {
  const response = props.response;
  // do stuff with data here
}

function makeRequest() {
  // some further logic here
  axiosCall();
}

makeRequest().then((response) => {
  ReactDOM.render(<AddCards response={response}/>, document.querySelector('#root'));
});

Or you use the useEffect hook:
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';

function AddCards() {
  const [cardsCode, setCardsCode] = React.useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    makeRequest().then((response) => {
      // extract data from response based on your need
      setCardsCode(response);
    });
  }, []);

  // access cardsCode in your function
}

makeRequest().then((response) => {
  ReactDOM.render(<AddCards/>, document.querySelector('#root'));
});

Q: Custom metadata in order list column - woocomerce I'm running Woocomerce store with ultimate member plugin. It is used to generate custom user meta (let's call it ID Buyer, stored in wp-usermeta meta-key Id_buyer). 99% of orders are made by registered users that filled Buyer ID field. Now - I was able to display this metadata in wp users column with following code:
function add_custom_column_name($columns) {
    $columns['ID_buyer'] = 'ID Buyer:';
    return $columns;
}
function show_custom_column_values($value, $column_name, $user_id) {
    if ( 'ID_buyer' == $column_name )
        return get_user_meta( $user_id, 'Id_buyer', true );
    return $value;
}

add_filter('manage_users_columns', 'add_custom_column_name');
add_action('manage_users_custom_column', 'show_custom_column_values', 10, 3);

I want to do the same for woocommerce order list. Making it sortable would be a plus. Is there any way to do it? Please help!

A: It's more or less the same thing:
function add_custom_order_column_name($columns) {
    $columns['ID_buyer'] = __('ID Buyer:', 'text-domain');
    return $columns;
}

function show_custom_order_column_values($column) {
    if ( 'ID_buyer' == $column ){
        global $the_order;
        if ($the_order->get_user_id()){
            echo get_user_meta( $the_order->get_user_id(), 'Id_buyer', true );
        }
    }
}

add_filter( 'manage_edit-shop_order_columns', 'add_custom_order_column_name' );

Mrs Laz Writes...
In her inaugural column, Mrs Laz muses on the days of rave.
Mr L spent the week sorting rave photos for the website and asked me whether I wanted to write something to pair with his nostalgic look at those heady, ecstatic days.
It's appropriate that we're looking at these pictures as all I've got right now, in our third UK lockdown, is nostalgia – perverse thoughts about walking into shops, sans face mask; eating dinner, god forbid, in another person's house; of going to parks and letting my children actually touch the play equipment. No wonder looking at pictures of people dancing and Jesus, my eyes, hugging strangers, is making me feel all dreamy – this is next-level nostalgia.
I remember the times, walking down a thin, unlit path in single file, into the blackness of the marshes of Suffolk, following the sounds of a bass beat that reverberated through my chest. Half-way you'd meet a guy with a plastic bucket sitting on a stye collecting a 'pound for sound' and it was from there that you could see a glow of light rising up from a pit in the middle of the ground, throbbing with bodies making this their home for the next two days. This is my church; these are my people. Simpler times: calling a number to try and find the location of your rave. No flyers, no Facebook posts, no TV advertising..come to think of it, no mobile phones.
Maybe I'm connected to nostalgia so closely right now because it feels like we've gone back in time. We're isolated, just like life before the internet or social media (and in part, it does feel rather agreeable). We're waiting for releases again – whether that's music, TV, the new Bond film – and the sparsity of all media production does make it feel like the olden days. When we all talked about the same tv show, or learned about what's hot from a single source magazine.
But let's face it, it's not a bed of roses. My world is so small, that it's just my house. And the same for you. It feels like we have more in common with then than now, and that's pretty displacing. Because it's not then. And we're all yearning for communion. No wonder the sigh of devastation was heard across the country when Glastonbury was cancelled yet again. I actually found myself in the posh deli yesterday singing along to the Abba track playing in the background (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme if you have to know) whilst buying over-priced hummus, feeling genuinely euphoric as the man on the cheese counter made eye contact with me above his mask. How we danced, nearly.
And then I walked home and thought of all the times I'd taken for granted the encounters I've had in pubs, in clubs, at raves in the woods, at festivals where I held people tight or grabbed their hands trying to make it to the bar without falling over. It feels good to remember it all, and it helps me get through the hours of home schooling, and fucking Teams and Zoom. Just bring me a glow stick and I'll dance in the kitchen with the cats.
Mrs L Loves:
Baby Bjorn's leopard print Baby Bouncer
It's leopard print AND it's a baby bouncer. Worth having a baby for? Hell yes.
Baileys Original Irish Cream
Not exactly the drink you'd order in front of your mates, doesn't scream sophistication and cool does it?! Ha, it's lockdown… plus, it makes creeping alcoholism look just that bit more jaunty.
Forget The Dig – who needs a stylishly directed, intelligently crafted, beautiful film when you have Chef Ben and the brilliantly acerbic Chief Stewardess, Kate to navigate you through these choppy Covid waters. Kick back with a Baileys and enjoy.
You're Wrong About
Pop culture's podcast answer to Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History. Redressing the balance for many a famous, over simplified public figure or story. Brilliant stuff and surely a big reason why Mr Timberlake had to make a long overdue public apology recently.
Mrs L loathes:
Mr L thought this was about vaginas – shame we have to wait another ten months before we get my bush out again.
Dear God I wish I didn't know how to operate this programme. Lockdown has never felt more shit than when trying to up-load your kids' schoolwork on this bastard app.
What was this? What is this? What does it mean? Were all questions my seven year old asked me as I turned over the channel immediately.
Enough already. Unless you can make it fun then just stop tormenting us.
Back to Zine

Blackpool nursery closing after 30 years
by Admin | Jan 22, 2018 | Childcare news | 0 comments
Busy Bees in Blackpool will be closing its doors on the 31st January. Its closure has been blamed on falling numbers and a lack of government funding.
Nine members of staff are now going to be out of work and the parents of 25 children will have to make other childcare arrangements.
The manager, Julie Thomson, has worked at Busy Bees for the last 22 years and said: "We are distraught and we have only been given two weeks' notice.
"Busy Bees has always put children first and at the moment we are finding it hard.
"This would have been our 30th year and we serve a deprived area of Blackpool, and now we are shutting down."
Parents have said how their children are now facing the disruption of changing nurseries.
Chelsea Singleton said: "My little boy Charlie, who is two, only started here a couple of weeks ago and he absolutely loves it.
"It took a lot for him to come here so I'm worried about settling him into another nursery.
"This is also the closest one to where we live and other nurseries either don't have places or are too far away."
Daria Kolodziejczak, whose two year old attends Busy Bees, said: "It's really difficult to find places for two-year-olds, so I'm worried and this is also a really good nursery. My daughter knows everyone here but now I have to move her."
Michael Lindop, a former chairman for the Busy Bees committee, had his elder daughter attend the nursery and his 4-year-old son. He said: "The staff here are amazing so I'm devastated it is closing.
"Ryan has had a barrier with his language but they have done an amazing job with him here, getting him referred to the right places and now his speech is fluent.
"It's the end of an era now it's closing. I hope the staff find jobs somewhere else, and I'd like to thank them for everything they've done."
Sue Lambert has worked for Busy Bees for 18 years and added: "It's so sad to see the whole thing go because it's been a pleasure working here with all the staff and the children."
Busy Bees originally operated from a church hall before moving to its current building, based at the Salvation Army on Raikes Parade. It is a registered charity and has a capacity for 40 children in total.
Carol Webb, a Busy Bees trustee, said it was a difficult decision to close the nursery, adding: "A lack of government grant funding has put us in a position that means we can no longer continue.
"The policy of funding 30 hours has put our model of term time care under threat because we can offer only 27 hours.
"We have also struggled because we have not been getting enough children in."

Miami Face-Eating Attack Lasted 18 Agonizing Minutes
Surveillance video shows gory face-eating attack on homeless man.
By SENI TIENABESO (@senijr_abc)
'Bath Salts' Causing 'Excited Delirium'?
Legal drug can cause a phenomenon said to make a person act like a wild animal.
MIAMI May 30, 2012— -- The grisly assault on a homeless man whose face was eaten by a deranged assailant lasted for 18 agonizing minutes and was captured on nearby surveillance cameras.
Rudy Eugene, who authorities suspect may have been high on a dangerous new street drug known as "bath salts," had to be shot four times by a police officer to halt the cannibalistic attack.
The victim, Ronald Poppo, 65, is in critical condition after police say 75 percent of his face was devoured by Eugene.
Footage taken by security cameras at the nearby Miami Herald building show most of the 18 gory minutes of Eugene's growling and vicious attack on Poppo when Eugene ate the man's nose, mouth and eyes.
Eugene had a criminal past and has the notoriety of being the first person ever tasered by the North Miami Police Department after he was arrested for beating and threatening to kill his mother in 2008. Police told ABC affiliate WPLG that they had to taser him three times to subdue him.
"He wasn't cooperative, wouldn't follow orders, very belligerent," said Detective Mike Pons. "He had that thousand-yard stare, staring right into you, not assessing or understanding what the commands were."
According to WPLG, police believed that Eugene may have been mentally ill, but according to the judge who handled the case was never referred to the court's mental illness diversion program.
Eugene was found guilty, but the court suspended his sentence citing in court records "the defendant is not likely to engage in a criminal course of conduct."
That prediction proved to be horribly wrong last Saturday. Police say Eugene, 31, started his day in South Beach where he dumped his car. It is believed that he may have been cruising the streets for the popular Urban Beach Weekend.
He then walked across a causeway that connects the popular neighborhood with downtown Miami when he began to strip his clothes off. The footage picks up and shows an agitated Eugene naked and bent over a second figure believed to be Poppo.
Poppo was homeless and lived near the area where the attack occurred. Poppo tries to fight back as Eugene tries to take off his clothes. As the assault begins, the surveillance video shows a few passerbys beginning to notice what is going on. Police say they received at least five calls from witnesses.
When a police officer, who has been described as traumatized by the incident, arrives on scene, he is seemingly casually getting out of his patrol car until he notices what is going on. The officer almost immediately draws his gun. The cop ordered Eugene to stop the attack, but Eugene ignored his command and even growled back at the officer. It's unclear when the officer fired because the video is obstructed by a metro commuter train line, but it eventually took four bullets to make Eugene stop his brutal assault.
It's still unclear what triggered the violent attack. Police and many in the medical community believe that drugs, in particular "bath salts," may have played a role. "Bath salts" have become increasingly popular in the Miami party scene, and they can trigger extremely violent outbursts. But police have found no evidence of drugs at the scene, and toxicology results will take several weeks to come back in.

FFA reveals new brand and logos for Hyundai A-League
Staff writer 1485233262
Football Federation Australia has revealed a dynamic new look which ties its professional leagues together – and introduces a first for sports branding in Australia.
The new logos are the latest innovation for the Hyundai A-League, Westfield W-League and Foxtel Y-League following a new six-year broadcast rights deal and the official recognition of football as Australia's largest club-based participation sport. Extensive market research shows the design appeals to a wider audience, particularly families and children, in line with FFA's long term strategy.
FFA chief executive David Gallop said the new logos would be used from the start of the 2017-18 seasons.
"The logo design is inspired by football's three outstanding features – atmosphere, diversity and unity," Mr Gallop said.
"Our fans create a wonderful atmosphere, we are part of the biggest sport in the world and there's a place for everyone to become involved.
"This is the perfect time to update our look and use the same logo across the board, especially to reinforce football's on-going commitment to women's football by connecting the Hyundai A-League with the Westfield W-League."
The brand strategy and design was developed in conjunction with FFA management, FFA's brand agency Hulsbosch Design and two club chairmen as representatives of the leagues – Scott Barlow from Sydney FC and Simon Pearce from Melbourne City FC.
For the first time in Australian sport, the brand of a professional league will become fluid and incorporate the colours of clubs competing as part of the league. All three league brands will assume the colour palette of clubs when utilised within club marketing and collateral, including the playing strip.
This path was chosen to showcase the importance of bringing the leagues and clubs closer and acknowledging the importance of club brands in driving fan connection and audience growth.
Orange will continue to be the colour used for the primary version of the Hyundai A-League logo and the Foxtel Y-League logo in recognition of the original brand created for the launch of the league in 2005.

What are the Most Common Mistakes Made After a Car Accident in Kirkwood?
Most everyone will have some experience with a car accident at some point in their lifetime, whether they are involved with one, or a loved one. And, anyone who has already been in one can tell you that even a minor fender bender can be a real pain to overcome, including having to obtain police reports, deal with insurance companies, and most importantly, heal from injuries.
If you are involved in a car crash and sustain injuries, it's important to avoid mistakes that are commonly made right after an accident. One of the biggest perhaps is to not speak with an auto accident attorney. However, before you even make that call, make sure you don't commit the following common mistakes.
If you've experienced a car accident, contact Walton Telken for a free consultation.
Not Contacting the Police – Anytime you have been in an accident, make sure that the police are notified, no matter how insignificant the damage might seem. Typically, the police will come to the scene of the accident to interview the parties involved, survey the situation, write a report, and most likely issue a ticket.
If there is a civil suit, a police report is important to have in hand. An experienced car accident attorney will be asking for one as well.
Not Calling Your Insurance Company – It's a common mistake, but a mistake all the same. The thought by many is that if they call their insurance company, their rates will go up, or they will be dropped altogether. One way they try to avoid that is to make a settlement between each other, with a handshake.
However, this is not a good idea. Trusting someone who will not necessarily be looking out for anyone but themselves is never good. You might not ever see any funds they promised to give, and then what? If you fail to report the accident, it could jeopardize your chances to have your claim get anything but denied.
Your best shot at getting your damages covered is to follow proper protocol. If you have any concern about what the proper protocol is for compensation for damages, contact an experienced auto accident attorney. The legal team at Walton Telken of Kirkwood can answer any questions you might have, and work to get the right solutions for you.
Failure to See a Doctor After the Accident – Many people make the mistake of thinking they are just fine after a car accident and do not seek medical treatment. However, there are conditions that often do not produce symptoms immediately, such as whiplash, which can take 24-48 hours to produce symptoms, or longer. Other injuries that might take a while to show symptoms, and can be more severe include:
Closed head injury
These could all be life-changing injuries, if not deadly, especially if you don't seek immediate medical attention.
Not only could it have a negative impact on your health, but also any civil suit you might consider filing against the other party. Simply by getting checked out by a physician right away, will show in court that you took the accident serious enough, even if nothing shows in the exam right away. An auto accident attorney will tell you that it will help your case.
Hastily Accepting a Settlement for an Auto Accident in Kirkwood
An insurance company will try to settle for as little as possible and might pressure you to settle quickly. That amount might be significantly less than you are entitled to receiving. If you have been in an accident, make sure you speak with an attorney specializing in auto accidents before agreeing to any settlement.
Once you have agreed to a settlement, that is it. You cannot go back for more, even if you find out that you could have received a much higher compensation amount.
Also, you could also forfeit any chance of filing a lawsuit later to recoup any loss, such as lost wages and medical expenses. Always…ALWAYS consult a car accident lawyer before signing anything, or agreeing to be recorded in an interview.
Not Seeking Help from an Auto Accident Attorney in Kirkwood
After getting into an auto accident, there is a slew of legal matters that need to be navigated carefully to receive fair compensation. Not only will you need to understand your insurance policy, but the laws on auto accidents in Kirkwood as well. There may be responsible parties and defendants that you might not even fail to realize exist. An example would be if you are hit by a delivery truck, it wouldn't just be the driver or the insurance, but it is likely the trucking company that could also be liable, depending on the circumstances.
You will also have to be careful to not say anything to any of the parties involved, such as the other driver or the insurance company. Other things to consider are:
Interviewing involved parties
Filing the lawsuit
Meeting legal deadlines
These are all things that a seasoned attorney skilled in auto accidents can do easily while making sure all bases are covered. In addition to making sure everything is done correctly and timely, having a car accident lawyer will let the other parties know that your case is to be taken seriously. Having an attorney on your side will drastically increase the odds of getting a fair settlement, and what you are entitled to get for your case.
If you have been in an auto accident in Kirkwood, contact the team of skilled attorneys experienced in auto accidents in the Kirkwood area.

text:
Tågvirke, vardagligt rep, är ett samlingsnamn för olika typer av längre sammanhängande knippen tvinnade, mer sällan flätade, fibrer, som till exempel rep, linor och trossar. Änden av ett tågvirke av något slag kallas tamp.

Tillverkning och olika typer av rep
Vid repslagning av klassiska rep i ett repslageri spinner man först fibrerna till garn, varefter en bunt av många garn tvinnas till en kardel. Vanligast tre kardeler snos sedan samman till ett rep (repslagning). Ett rep med 3 kardeler kallas tre-slaget. I vissa fall slår man samman 4 kardeler, och man får då ett fyr-slaget rep. I enstaka fall vid klenare dimensioner nöjer man sig med 2 kardeler, märling, ofta tjärad som rötskydd. Ett snöre, något grövre än märling, slås av 3 garn, och kallas då hyssing.

Om kardelerna vid repslagningen slås åt samma håll (skruvriktning) som garnen inom kardelen, får man en lina. Är skruvriktningen i repet motsatt till skruvriktningen av garnen inom kardelen, får man en tross. Man talar således om lin-slaget respektive tross-slaget tågvirke. Trossar förekommer mest i de grövsta dimensionerna. En lina tenderar alltid att "skruva upp sig" vid belastning, vilket däremot trossen inte gör, eftersom de olika skruvriktningarna hos de ingående parterna mer eller mindre balanserar ut varandra.

Om flera trossar slås samman får man en kabel för de allra tyngsta uppgifterna, till exempel bogsering av fartyg och timmerflottar. En lina är mer flexibel än en tross av samma dimension, och lämpar sig därför bättre än en tross i block, löpande rigg. En tross är lämplig exempelvis för förtöjning av större fartyg. Vill man vara säker på att få en fullständigt vridningsfri lina, flätar man samman ett större antal kardeler. Kallas ibland slungad lina. Exempel på denna typ, som också är särskilt flexibel, är livlinor. Flagglinor och persiennsnören är andra exempel, där flätning används.

Olika material
Repet/tågvirket består vanligtvis av något syntetmaterial. Olika naturmaterial som till exempel hampa används numer till traditionsfartyg eller vid dekoration.

Naturmaterial
Hampa är det allmänna kollektiva namnet för de långa, starka och sega fibrer (bastceller), som genom särskilda åtgärder frigörs ur hampörtens stjälkar. Hampa är känslig för röta och svår att böja vid låga temperaturer och har låg brottstyrka som minskar snabbt med tiden. Hampa är gråbrun, men blir mörkare vid behandling av till exempel tjära. Också andra textilväxter går under namnet hampa, till exempel manilla och sisal.

Manillafiber eller manillahampa är de starka, sega, hampliknande trådarna i bladen av åtskilliga Musaarter, företrädesvis Musa textilis. De vita till gulbruna fibrerna kan bli över tre meter långa.

Sisal eller sisalhampa är fibrerna av bladen av Agave rigida. Fibrerna är blekgula och i många avseenden liknande manillahampans och utmärker sig för stor hållfasthet och ringa vikt. Sisalfibrerna kan bli nära 150 cm.

Kokosfiber.

Syntetmaterial

Polypropen (äldre benämning polypropylen) är förmodligen det vanligaste materialet. Polypropen är billigt, finns i alla grovlekar, har bra brottstyrka, men är känsligt för UV-ljus och nötning. Blir "stickig" efter en tids användning och släpper ifrån sig fibrer. Blir spröd vid minusgrader. Det finns flera olika kvaliteter av detta material; vissa är lite mjukare och UV-tåligare än andra. Är oftast blå. Densiteten är låg, varför polypropen-linor flyter i vatten. Smälter vid måttlig uppvärmning, varför tampar inte behöver taglas, utan kan smältas ihop. Polypropen är brännbar, även om det finns vissa kvaliteter, som är självslocknande efter antändning. Den låga smälttemperaturen och brännbarheten gör polypropenlinor olämpliga inom brandförsvaret och nära heta föremål.

Polyester är nötningståligt och har bra brottstyrka, men är dyr, speciellt i stora grovlekar. Är mjuk, mycket lätt att böja och knopa. UV-tålig. Är det vanligaste förtöjningsrepet till fritidsbåtar upp till 16 mm. Det finns flera olika modeller av detta tågvirke, med olika brottstyrkor. Vissa kvaliteter är extra mjuka. Är oftast vit, men finns även i svart. Vid längre tids användning utomhus blir vita linor allt gråare.

Nylon är ett handelsnamn för polyamid, Har hög brottstyrka och nötningstålighet, men är dyr. Är bra som ankarlina då man oftast klarar sig med lite mindre grovlek jämfört med billigare tågvirken. Nylon har blankare yta än polyester och känns lite styvare. Finns i olika färger som till exempel vit och grön. Somliga nylonkvaliteter är UV-känsliga. Kvaliteten nylon 11 är UV-tålig. Nylonlinor är något fjädrande, vilket utjämnar ryck. Detta är en fördel exempelvis vid ankarlinor och bogsering, men är en nackdel, om något ska stagas.

Allmänna egenskaper

Jämfört med de gamla naturmaterialen har de nya syntetlinorna mycket lägre friktion. Detta gör att gamla knopar som var pålitliga på tåg av naturmaterial, är opålitliga och glider upp om de appliceras på de nya linorna. Man måste därför knopa på nya sätt på de nya linorna, för att knopen inte ska glida upp vid belastning. Detta har effekt även då linor ska splitsas. Med de nya materialen måste antalet instick ökas avsevärt för att splitsen ska bli pålitlig.

Somliga syntetrep flyter i vatten; av naturmaterialen har kokosfiber den egenskapen. En lina av traditionellt naturmaterial krymper när den blir våt, vilket man måste ta hänsyn till i vissa situationer. Linan måste slackas när det blir regn, och spännas när den torkat. Exempel är flagglinor och staglinor till tält. Syntetmaterialen är i detta hänseende så gott som opåverkade, vare sig de är torra eller våta. Typiskt för många av de moderna syntetmaterialen är att de smälter vid upphettning. Därför är de olämpliga där det finns heta föremål i närheten. Redan vid en måttlig temperaturförhöjning mjuknar materialet, och brotthållfastheten nedgår katastrofalt. Naturmaterial klarar sig mycket bättre vid till exempel brand. Å andra sidan är det enkelt att med en helt liten låga eller lödkolv eller strykjärn smälta (svetsa) samman delfibrerna i änden på ett rep, så att inte repet burrar upp sig som en pensel. Ett rep av naturmaterial måste taglas för samma resultat.

För kapning av tågvirke av smältbart syntetmaterial finns ett tångliknande verktyg med en elektriskt uppvärmd metalltråd som skär av linan "som en varm kniv i smör".

Teaching very young children about fire safety can help keep them safe for the rest of their lives. Our early years support complements many of the Early Years Foundation Stage early learning goals; introducing fire safety awareness and basic understanding of what to if there is a fire in a way that doesn't make young children feel scared or vulnerable.
Nurseries and pre-school groups can contact us to help raise awareness among the youngsters in their care of the risks and dangers of fire and how they can stay as safe as possible.
If we can't visit the group, we can loan out a special resource box that can be used by EYFS/nursery staff to deliver a teaching session.
The box includes dressing-up kit and role play equipment; stories, poems and pictures; jigsaws and games; and suggested activities. It also includes suggestions on how to use the contents.
We recognise that children and young people with special educational needs could be more vulnerable to the dangers of fire but recognise that teaching for special educational needs requires more than a single lesson plan. We appreciate that that teachers know their class or pupil best; what their abilities are, how much they can take-in and what activities are suitable.
We have created SENDsafe – a toolkit of 27 activities, each lasting around 15 minutes, that use the whole range of senses which can be mixed and matched to suit an individual group's needs.


A fully functional, half-scale prototype of the Aeroscraft launched successfully last year out of a small hanger in Southern California. The success of the Aeroscraft comes after millions in research and development financial assistance from across the board, including NASA. The rigid craft is rendered to be light, sturdy, atmospherically buoyant and highly maneuverable. Unlike hybrid airships there is no need for lift generation as the craft is non-flammable helium powered. The primary mechanical principle of the aircraft is a series of helium tanks linked by pipes to what they call helium pressure envelopes, which increase or decreases the amount of lift generated as the pilot requires. This allows the Aeroscraft to take off and land from virtually anywhere, decreasing the need for costly infrastructure. If completed, the Aeroscraft will measure out to be over 400 feet long and capable of lifting 66 tons or more.
Pasternak hopes that his Aeroscraft will be the future of shipping as well as recreational travel. The ability to transport large amount of cargo through the air with minimal infrastructure can come in handy when working in volatile climates or conditions. He envisions the ships being used in everything from military operations to resource management and distribution thanks to the runway-less touch-down capabilities. Industries will benefit from more access to remote locations. The technology could also allow travelers vacation opportunities reminiscent of an oceanic cruise yet with more potential given its ability to hover over land. The icing on the cake will be the Aeroscraft's green footprint and environmentally friendly operation, decreasing the use of fossil fuels and conserving natural resources traditionally consumed by the aforementioned industries.
Floating freight may still be a few years away, however there is much to look forward to out of the aircraft industry. For now, it is increasingly important to protect your property and goods while traveling from shore-to-shore by land or sea. Having the right Orlando shipping insurance can help make sure your business investments remain secure in transit.

Ancient Greece and Rome are central to Western culture. They have informed the art, thought, literature, and political and social institutions of later Western civilizations. The cultures of ancient Greece and Rome are deemed classical in two senses. First, they offer models that later thinkers, writers, and artists have sought to assimilate, emulate, and recreate. Second, the cultural achievements of ancient Greece and Rome have not been superseded; they continue to speak to us directly on the questions that matter to us.
University students are generally aware of the importance of Greece and Rome, and often they are acquainted with those civilizations. By and large, however, students have not had the opportunity to investigate in detail the centrality of Greece and Rome in the Western tradition and how classical antiquity can speak to their own questions about culture, art, morality, politics, and identity. The Classical Legacy program seeks to change this state of affairs.
The program offers new courses in translation that make classical antiquity accessible to a wide range of students and give those students a grounding in Western intellectual and cultural history. The program consists of 200-level survey courses and 300-level "symposia" courses (as we call them) devoted to specific themes. At both levels the courses relate classical culture to postclassical and contemporary cultures. These courses, which carry D 1 (Humanities) distribution credit, will appeal to students who major in the humanities and to those who look to the humanities for stimulating educational electives.
Students in the Classical Studies Department are encouraged to study for a semester at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies, which maintains programs in Rome. Courses in Greek and Latin at the intermediate and advanced levels are offered in both of these programs. Students in Rome are required to take at least one ancient language course. The centerpiece of the Rome program is the "City Course," which is an introduction to the history, archeology, and monuments of the city of Rome in antiquity. In this course students will take weekly field trips to sites and museums in and around Rome plus extended trips to Sicily and the Bay of Naples area. For further information about both programs, including scholarships and other courses that are offered, please consult the Duke Overseas Studies website.
In addition to Rome, Classical Studies also offers study-abroad opportunities in Athens. For additional information about the programs at the International Center for Hellenic & Mediterranean Studies and The American School of Classical Studies at Athens, please contact Professor Harvey Yunis (yunis@rice.edu).

Home Appellate Practice
Court Says Police Need to Make Time for "This Constitutional Bullshit"
On the bright side, the officers in this case didn't kill the guy's dog.
They did go to the home of a depressed veteran with PTSD, declare a "barricade situation" for no reason, search his home without a warrant or consent after he surrendered, and then go back five hours later to ransack the place (again without a warrant). As Tim Cushing of Techdirt put it, "the police—faced with a possible suicide intervention—did what [some] police do best: turned a neighborhood into a war zone and an 'intervention' into a standoff where the police were the only willing participants," and violated the Fourth Amendment in the course of hassling a guy who made the mistake of calling someone for help.
But again, they didn't kill the guy's dog, something that some cops apparently have no trouble doing, so credit where credit is due, I guess.
These facts are from Corrigan v. District of Columbia, in which the D.C. Circuit held the officers weren't entitled to "qualified immunity" from Corrigan's civil-rights lawsuit. The qualified-immunity doctrine, as you may recall, is designed to reduce "second-guessing" of officers who sometimes have to act in difficult and unclear situations: they're immune from civil-rights lawsuits as long as their actions were "objectively reasonable" under law that was "clearly established" at the time.
I also have a "qualified immunity doctrine," namely that qualified immunity is only funny if asserting it seems like total bullshit to me personally under the circumstances. See, e.g., "Police Shoot Photographer With Rubber Bullet, Just for Fun" (Nov. 7, 2011) (pointing out that you have a First Amendment right to take pictures of police in public, and so cannot constitutionally be shot for doing it); "Would the Last Civil Right in America Please Remember to Close the Door on Its Way Out?" (May 2, 2012) (suggesting it's fairly clear that a government isn't supposed to torture its citizens); "A Fun Quiz on Military-Style Police Tactics" (Oct. 14, 2014) (noting police have carried out military-style raids to, among other things, arrest Tibetan monks who overstayed their visas and to check whether barbers had valid licenses); "Defendants Settle With Student Arrested for Possessing Arabic Flashcards" (Feb. 3, 2015) (hopefully self-explanatory).
That was all during the Obama administration, by the way.
So here we have Matthew Corrigan, an Iraq war vet who tried to call a veterans' crisis line in 2010 but inadvertently called the National Suicide Hotline. He was depressed and couldn't sleep, but wasn't suicidal, as he tried to explain to whoever answered. She asked him whether he was on drugs and whether he owned any guns, probably standard questions on a checklist. He said no and yes, respectively, and the mention of guns apparently freaked out the hotline volunteer, who he said kept telling him to "put the guns down." "That's crazy," he told her, "I don't have them out" (they were in a locked container), and told her "no" when she asked whether he might harm himself or others. Finally he got frustrated with her, hung up, and went to sleep. Still concerned, the volunteer called the police.
She apparently told them Corrigan was a suicide risk, despite his denial, and that he had admitted to owning guns and taking meds for depression—both true of millions of Americans. Upon arrival, the officers claimed they smelled natural gas. Apparently based only on this information, they escalated by declaring a "barricade situation." This brought in the "Emergency Response Team."
Meanwhile, Corrigan was asleep.
Over the next few hours, police contacted his ex-girlfriend, who told them he had "expertise in IEDs," which lots of Americans unfortunately also do because of the Iraq war. But they also talked to his landlady, who said she knew him well, he was not a risk to anyone, and that he didn't have any gas appliances in his apartment. Police also knew by then that Corrigan had no criminal record and wasn't subject to any protective orders. Only at 3 am, four hours after they had arrived, did they even try to talk to him. But he didn't answer.
Because he was asleep.
When he finally turned on his cell phone at 4 am, he found a "flood of voicemails" from police and negotiators, which is how he first learned he was in a "barricade situation" in an evacuated building surrounded by police. (Well, he did make the mistake of calling for help.) He promptly surrendered. He refused to consent to a search of his apartment, obviously understanding he had the right to refuse. But exercising rights makes some cops really mad. "I don't have time to play this constitutional bullshit," one said—although they had been there for at least five hours without even trying to get a warrant—and so they just broke in and did a "sweep" of the apartment.
This was supposedly to search for "any human threats that remained or victims," although they had no reason to think they might find any such thing. They did find a dog, which, as noted, they did not kill, and good for them. But after the "sweep" was done, they went back and turned the place upside down: officers "cut open every zipped bag, dumped onto the floor the contents of every box and drawer, broke into locked boxes under the bed and in the closet, emptied shelves into piles in each room, and broke into locked boxes containing Corrigan's three firearms." Those weren't registered, so the police had indeed discovered a crime! But their justification for this second search—that there might, possibly, maybe, be explosives inside because Corrigan had received "IED training" in Iraq—was ridiculous, and so the evidence they found was excluded.
Corrigan then sued. But even though he'd won the Fourth Amendment point, the immunity issue was whether the actions violated clearly established law or were just a reasonable mistake under the circumstances. Since I've already applied my qualified-immunity doctrine, you can guess what I think about that. The court agreed (not with me, with the analysis), but the panel split 2-1 on immunity (they all agreed re: the Fourth Amendment). The majority said the dissent's view "strain[ed] credulity," which is judicial politeness you may translate however you like.
Finally, I noticed that Corrigan was represented pro bono by a team of students at the College of William & Mary's appellate clinic, so congratulations to them, and good work. Unfortunately, experience with this constitutional bullshit is likely to be really handy going forward.

The lineup for 'Dancing with the Stars' is coming thick and fast and now two more names have been added to the mix.
First up, 'Fair City' star Clelia Murphy joins the show.
The actress, who is known for her role as Niamh Brennan on the hit soap, said: "I can't believe I'm doing 'Dancing with the Stars'. I'm still in a bit of shock that I said yes! It's unlike anything I've ever done before and that's exactly why it makes it so beautifully terrifying and thrilling all at the same time.
"I'm sorry now that I didn't stick with dance classes as a child. I'm normally dressed from head to toe in black and I'm finding myself in a glorious rainbow sea of glitter and sequins and Spanx! I'm so far out of my comfort zone but I kind of love it."
Joining Clelia is former Dublin footballer and five-time-All-Ireland winner Denis Bastic.
"I really feel that this will be a great experience for me. It is completely different than anything I have ever done before. Since retiring from Dublin football I always wanted to try new things, I never imagined that this would be one of those things though!
Denis and Clelia will join Mairead Ronan, Eilish O'Carroll, Darren Kennedy, Fred Cooke, and Holly Carpenter on series three of the show.


Going freelance can be a tricky decision. For one thing, there'll be far less stability…all those 'Hooray it's payday!' or 'Hello weekend!' social media posts can make you feel sorry for yourself when your income is far from stable and regular, and full weekends with nothing to do are a distant memory.
What makes all that worthwhile, though, is the unending potential and ability to work with and learn from a huge variety of fantastic people, with final accountability only to yourself. For me, this is a luxury and a pain in equal measure – mainly because I'm finding that I'm a much harsher boss than any of my actual bosses ever were! – but choosing who you work for is a benefit I've noticed a lot of freelancers can be reluctant to take advantage of.
It's genuinely difficult to turn down work when you've got bills piling up…but if you're not thinking about what sort of work you really want to do and who you really want to do it for, then you're missing out on the real advantages of going freelance.
Does your potential client know who you are?
Why did they contact you? Did they like your work, or maybe you came recommended to them? I ask this because I've had meetings and e-mail exchanges with people who have had no idea about the type of work I do – and who didn't much care.
Do they care about their business?
I know – seems a strange question to ask, doesn't it? What it really means is that you should check if you're going to be producing work your clients will care about.
In my case as a freelance writer, I want to know that the words I write for my clients are going to be valued (and commented on/criticised accordingly!) – not something they've hastily delegated to me just to get it off their to-do list, with no particular opinion about its quality.
This, in my view, is the absolute best thing about being a freelancer. Life's too short to be producing reams of high volume, low quality work in a haphazard vacuum, after all. My time and my work is valuable, and I choose to work with people who feel the same way about theirs.
This approach means I'm lucky to be working with a wonderful group of regular clients who are passionate about their companies and how they're represented in words – the very best kind!
As an employee, if your manager asks you to work on something urgently, you'd probably be expected to drop everything and get on with it. This is usually fine if you're office-based and working for just the one company, but as freelancer you'll probably have lots of different projects lined up for lots of different clients, all scheduled according to deadlines.
The best way to sidestep issues is to make sure your clients understand your turnaround timeframes right from the beginning. I send new clients a simple one-page sheet outlining what they can expect from me, and what I'd like from them in return. At the time of writing this at least! - there haven't been any problems at all.
If you're thinking about going freelance, rest assured that it's a fantastic way to work and I hope these tips help you on your way. If you'd like to become a client, you've made a great choice and I look forward to hearing from you via phone or email!


Read about a home renovation idea.
Many people think that the garage is a place to park the cars and keep them out of the weather. But I think that the people who use their garages strictly to park the cars is in the minority. I'm in a lot of homes, sometimes 50 or more per week. And, from my experience, very few have a garage that is used only for cars.
So here's another way to renovate your home to make it nicer and more useful for you, and potentially for a new owner when you decide it's time to sell.
Many garages turn into storage areas of tools, excess furniture, bikes, cleaning supplies and much more. Quite often, there is so much stored in the garage that there is no longer any room for a car. As for myself, my garage is full of tools, bikes, more tools and a lot more bikes. I have bikes for Bunny and myself, a daughter's bikes and 5 different size bikes for the grandkids to use when they are here.
So here's a few ideas on how to make the garage more organized.
Get a good workbench. One that has storage underneath. Many people use the leftover cabinets from a kitchen remodel in the garage. Use the base cabinets for the workbench. Put the wall cabs in a different location and use them for storage.
Add lighting. If you are working on projects, you'll need a lot more light than the standard light bulb on the ceiling.
Get a large enough tool box. This will help you get organized and let you find the tool you need – when you need it.
Bike racks. There are many designs available, some hang bikes from the ceiling, others on the wall, others are floor stands.
Rakes and shovels? There are wall brackets for hanging these.
Get yourself and your garage organized. And just maybe, you'll be able to park a car in your garage.

PACOM Systems, part of STANLEY Product & Technology, a leading provider of security and access control solutions, is helping users reduce false alarms with the PACOM 8003 intelligent security control panel.
A true hybrid panel, the PACOM 8003 is capable of delivering both advanced access control and robust, EN Grade 3 intrusion detection across applications of all sizes; from simple two-door installations to campuses and multi-site estates.
Built to ensure compliance with widely recognised EN 50131 and BS8243 PD6662-2017 approvals, the PACOM 8003 helps to reduce false alarms by meeting exacting standards concerning the method by which alarms are confirmed and therefore whether a police response is activated. To this end, the PACOM 8003 can confirm alarm activation by video, audio and sequential alarm verification.
As an intelligent, IP-enabled, hybrid device, the PACOM 8003 uses PACOM-Edge technology which offers advanced security capabilities across an organisation's Ethernet backbone, so reducing the need for traditional security cabling which means easy scalability plus fast and convenient deployment. The PACOM 8003 offers up to eight configurable five state inputs and eight outputs comprising two relays and six open collectors. Inputs can be expanded up to 64 and outputs can be expanded up to 32 via the addition of on-board expansion modules and/or remote I/O devices.
With high demand across the globe for intelligent control panels, STANLEY Product & Technology has recognized and responded to the need of installers for greater choice in systems. The PACOM 8003 addresses this need with features such as a network port and the option of on-board access as standard.
'Over the last few years there has been a seismic shift in the technology that is incorporated into modern intruder alarm systems, and manufacturers have to demonstrate fresh and innovative thinking and design,' commented Gavin O'Keeffe, Global Technical Director at STANLEY Product & Technology. 'The PACOM 8003 can significantly improve return on investment through a security solution that has been carefully engineered to protect people, property and assets - while reducing false alarms. The hybrid PACOM 8003 delivers more scalability, power and flexibility than any other integrated control panel in its class.'

We believe that a healthy, balanced diet is crucial in supplying the nutrients needed to support rapidly developing bodies and minds and we have created our menus to reflect this with the inclusion of lots of fresh produce.
We are proud to have been awarded once more the Middlesbrough Council Food Hygiene 5* rating – as good as it gets, following our recent inspection. We also hold a FOOD 4 HEALTH "gold award" for providing our children with healthy meals and snacks. Our in house cook Tracy works hard to prepare and cook fresh, delicious, healthy food that our children can enjoy whilst in our care.
We've recently introduced a brand new menu structured by OFSTED recognised company Phunky Foods. Our menus are on a 3 weekly rotation so the children have the chance to sample lots of tastes and textures. There is a vegetarian option available for those who require one and we also provide alternatives for children with allergies.
