Assaulted at Work Solicitors - Have You Been Assaulted at Work?
At Truth Legal we are specialist solicitors in assaults at work, with many years experience and numerous cases handled.
Truth Legal was founded by Solicitor Andrew Gray specifically to represent people who had been assaulted at work, and have suffered injury. Andrew Gray had previously been working as a specialist Violence at Work solicitor at a national law firm when he decided to set-up a new law firm dedicated to representing people who had been subjected to Violence at Work.
Read Andrew Gray’s experience of being assaulted on the first day at work as a personal injury lawyer here.
Assault at work compensation claims are a niche area of personal injury law and require specific, bespoke legal expertise. Truth Legal are your Violence at Work specialist solicitors. We represent people who have been injured because of Violence at Work throughout the country, in multiple industries.
Specialist Assaulted at Work solicitors should be used for compensation claims because they understand and have experience in proving that an employer was at fault for the assault. Unlike an accident at work compensation claim, it is usually much more complicated to prove that the direct actions of another person were caused or contributed to by your employer. It’s essential that your lawyers know how to obtain the correct evidence from your employer in order to win your claim.
Violence at work can happen to any person at work, however, some sectors have a higher incidence of assaults at work. See our article on Violence at Work Statistics to compare your sector with others.
When someone has been attacked at work and has sustained injury, there are three separate and overlapping claims that can be brought, all at the same time. Each claim requires a different degree of proof, has different percentage chances of winning and pays different levels of compensation.
If you have sustained injury because you have injured yourself in an accident at work, for example, you have been injured following a slip or because of faulty work equipment, then you can bring an Accident at Work claim (link to that page). Similarly, if you were doing your job and someone has deliberately injured you – be it a patient, resident, pupil, customer or colleague etc, then you can bring a No Win, No Fee compensation claim against your employer. In reality the compensation claim is brought against your employer’s Employers’ Liability insurers. Employers’ Liability insurance is compulsory, so your employer ought to have a policy and the policy certificate ought to be visible on a noticeboard.
Generally in order to be successful in a claim against your employer, you need to be able to demonstrate that the assault at work was predictable – that is, that the attack was likely to happen. It could be that there have been multiple attacks at work and your employer has done nothing, or very little, to reduce the risk of further attacks. It could be that there was a shortage of staff, or a failure to train the staff properly. Sometimes an assault at work is entirely unpredictable and your employer was not legally at fault.
If you can prove that the attack at work was your employer’s fault, then the value of your personal injury claim compensation will be calculated using the same method as would be the case for an Accident at Work claim. If successful with your claim, you would be entitled to compensation for pain, suffering and loss of amenity, as well as compensation for any financial losses and care and assistance. See our blog on what you can claim for.
Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) claim.
At the same time as bringing an Assault at Work injury claim against your employer, you can also submit a claim to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). The CICA is administered by the Government. It is a scheme which pays compensation to people who have been injured through violence. Sadly, the Government has reduced the budget to the CICA. As a result, the compensation paid by the Government has fallen in recent years.
Usually, in order to make a successful CICA compensation claim, you need to have been an innocent victim of violence and that you reported the crime to the police quickly and cooperated with the police throughout their investigations, attending court if necessary. Deductions from compensation are often made by the CICA if you have a criminal record.
Compensation paid by the CICA is usually a lot less than you would receive had you been able to win 100% an Assault at Work claim against your employer. If you win both claims against your employer and to the CICA, then the CICA usually wants to recover their compensation award.
A CICA claim can be lodged online here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/criminal-injuries-compensation-authority. You do not need a solicitor or legal executive to bring the claim for you, but it is often prudent to use a qualified legal representative to submit a CICA claim. Often the first decision by the CICA – whether to award compensation and if so how much – needs appealing because the decision is wrong. There are strict time limits for appealing/reviewing a CICA award.
People who attack others aren’t usually sued because, more often than not, they tend not to have any money. However, if your assailant does have assets, then you are able to bring a claim against them. After all, they are the ones who injured you.
By way of example, Truth Legal brought a personal injury claim against a wealthy celebrity as a result of an assault the celebrity committed on our client. The wealthy celebrity paid our client compensation, paying the legal costs as well.
As it is impossible to buy an insurance policy to protect yourself in the event that you assault someone, sadly it is only the wealthy attackers who are ever sued. Poorer attackers usually escape having to defend a compensation claim.
If an attacker is convicted in a criminal court of the assault on you, or accepts a police caution, then the attacker will automatically lose any civil compensation claim brought by you against them. This is because the standard of proof is higher in a criminal court – as it is “beyond reasonable doubt”. In a civil court, which would adjudicate on your compensation claim, the standard of proof is “on the balance of probabilities”.
If your attacker has been convicted in a criminal court for the assault on you, then a court may order the criminal to pay you – the victim – some compensation. If this happens, the sums ordered to be paid are not substantial and usually are paid by the attacker every month.
You have the right to report the assault to the police and to the organisation that you are working for. If you are off work for 7 days or more due to the injuries, then your employer should send a RIDDOR form to the Health and Safety Executive.
In terms of sick pay, your employer should pay you contractual sick pay if you have this right in your employment contract, or Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) if you don’t have a right to contractual sick pay.
You have the right to have appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. You have the right to receive a risk assessment for your job. You have the right to submit a grievance, and the right to submit a Subject Access Request.
You have the right to submit a compensation claim against your employer. You have the right to make an application to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority for compensation. You have the right to sue your attacker, but only sue your attacker if they have any money to pay you. You have the right to work in a safe environment.

Q:

Requesting a JSON 1000 times every second. Is it expensive?

Pseucode:
function getjson() {
   $.getJSON('link_in_my_server_unique_for_each_user_json', function(data) {
     if (data.variable) {
        do_something();
     }
   });
}

setInterval(getjson(), every_second)

Is it expensive to have 1000 users retrieving json file in my server every second and check if that file has some variable?

A:

First, you don't need to guess.  You can measure.

Use the developer tools that are available for your browser (Firebug for Firefox, Developer Tools for Chrome, etc.) and watch the requests and see how long each one takes.
Observe the load on your server.  If it is anything other than 0%, you're never going to see 1000 sessions running simultaneously.
Repeat the steps above, but with a bunch of browsers open.  It should be easy to get 20 browser windows open and running.
Remember that, as the server load gets past 50% your performance will become increasingly non-linear.  Once your system is blocking/thrashing a lot you can't expect to gainfully add any more clients.

Once you have a baseline measurement, you can think about optimization -- do you need it and how big a problem do you have on your hands?  Some of the usual solutions:

If at all possible, serve a static file or a piece of data from your APC cache.
If your data is cacheable but you have multiple web servers, consider a solution like memcached, MongoDB, or some other centralized very-fast key-based retrieval system.
If the data is dynamically retrieved from a database, consider using persistent database connections.
If the CPU load is high per request, you probably have something expensive in your code path.  Try to optimize the code path for that particular request, even if you have to hand-craft a special controller for it and bypass your usual framework.
If the network latency is high per request, use HTTP headers to try and convince the client and server to keep the connection open.

Finally, if the performance you want seems very out of reach, you'll need to consider an architectural change.  Using WebSockets would likely be a very different code path, but could conceivably result in far better performance.  I'd have to know more about what you're doing with link_in_my_server_unique_for_each_user_json.

A:

Chances are that yes, this'll kill your average shared hosting or small VPS.
It's entirely possible to offload most of this to a system like CloudFlare or AWS CloudFront with a short (~1 second) cache expiration. Most users would get it directly from the cache, saving your server most of the work.

A:

If you can't cache, perhaps consider the COMET pattern, so you'd have 1,000 long-held calls rather than 1,000 calls a second, overall servicing less traffic but delivering the desired result. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_%28programming%29


In Pride & Prejudice, children are invited into the Regency period to meet the Bennet sisters, Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, and other beloved characters from Jane Austen’s classic tale.

It's hard to keep track of all the Helmand's Best of Baltimore awards: Over the years the Afghani dining room on Charles Street has won "Best First Date Restaurant," "Best Restaurant for Special Occasions," "Best Middle Eastern Restaurant" (multiple times), "Best Restaurant for Vegetarians" (multiple times), and, simply, "Best Restaurant" (multiple times). That it has remained among our favorites for so long is a testament to its unmatched combination of exquisite food (the kaddo bowrani, or pan-fried pumpkin, alone deserves a James Beard Award, an Oscar, a Nobel, and an Olympic gold), elegant dining room, and deeply charming service, all for truly shockingly reasonable prices. Baltimore is lucky to have such a dining institution.

@Guest: Sorry, are you reading on mobile? a bunch of the pages arent working well on Mobile. I checked it on the browser and it doesnt look weird.
Jet : "Dont worry kid thats like only 3 years younger than me but I'm still gonna call you kid." And how do Firedog all of sudden just stop fighting? He should still be close to oshowatt.
So I really like how the pokemon storage works in the pokemon anime, how every pokemon Ash sends to the "box" actually ends up in Oak's lab. Jet set up a storage thing to transfer the pokemon home where her mom can help her watch over them. Also in this version of events, Jet and her friends arent tasked with completing the pokedex because Jet's big sister Soren already did that a year or two before, but that caused a big mess when she had to send every pokemon she caught home while she was filling out the dex XD. Soren now lives on a ranch out in the country with all her pokemon.
@Eevee power: I'm so glad you enjoyed the comic! I think SJ does something weird on mobile when the pages exceed a certain size, because a few of the shorter ones are fine. I don't know how to fix it unfortunately, but hopefully this comic is up on enough other sites that y'all can read it somewhere that's convenient! But thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment, it is very encouraging!
I swear if that lilypup dies I will destroy the world.

When I moved in, there was still a husband next door. Every morning I could hear him coughing through the bedroom wall. After a while, the bedroom wall became silent, and the hall became louder. She was standing outside, with her monstrous little black poodle, and chatting with the hunchbacked woman from across the hall. Not every morning, but most mornings.
I left for a couple of years. When I came back, the poodle was still alive. She even takes him with her to the toilet now, which is outside in the hall. The hunchbacked woman wasn’t there anymore. Nor was the old deaf couple in the small apartment half the size of mine. Or the other old woman down the hall. A fat woman and a thin man moved into her apartment and put the sign “Fam. Antic” up on their door. “Fam.” for “family”. Now the fat woman would have noisy chats with the poodlelady, about how she had been in hospital for weeks and her husband hadn’t even paid her a visit once, about how he hadn’t done nothin’ around the flat while she was away, about the trouble they had with his former wife, over custody for his son. Occasionally, the police would stop by at their apartment. Once in a while a boy with spiky hair was around. He liked to spend time on the toilet. What do you do when a boy with spiky hair who doesn’t want to be anywhere where he can be blocks your toilet?
About a month ago, light shone out of inside the small apartment half the size of mine. Last week, when I moved out, an Indian lad came out from there. He pays about one third more rent than I did, for half the space, without central heating, and they’d installed the shower themselves a few weeks ago. They: Three Punjabi guys, two of them brothers from the small town Hoshiarpur near Amritsar.
The other day I went back there again, to meet a man from the Burgenland who had called on my ad in a magazine: Bulky furniture to give away. The poodlelady was out in the hall. She said the fat woman had complained about the Indians, because they never flushed the toilet. Three toilet roll holders, one for each party. Whenever mine got empty, that of family Antic’s got empty as well. After a while I concluded that they took their toilet paper back inside the apartment whenever one of the other holders got empty. They have to be afraid of toilet paper theft.
The poodlelady was concerned. Who are we gonna get in there now, she said, pointing at my almost empty apartment. Suddenly she seemed to like me. Eight years ago she had complained bitterly about my living habits, concocting all sorts of bizarre stories based on her short-sighted observations. That I had spread out lots of mattresses on my floor, for instance, renting out sleeping space to “young persons who don’t belong to this house” (“hausfremde junge personen”).
Then Burgenlander turned out to be a cheerful old man. He’s a fruit-vendor alongside a big road that goes straight to Hungary, but he also sells electric supplies. You need to store them somewhere, he explained. Otherwise, you know, the Checks, the Slovaks, the Slovenes, all these people. You know. That’s why I need the furniture.
He came on his own, even though he’d said on the phone he would scout for “some men” to help him. He hadn’t found any men, he said, only a woman. But, get this, she’d started drinking Schnaps on the drive, and although he had told her off, she got so pissed that she lay asleep in the car now, unable to help moving furniture three flights of stairs down. He smiled and shrugged. “What can you do.”
When he came upstairs again, one of the Indian lads was with him. And a fat woman, very cheerful, too. Glowing eyes, and always “looking for more men”, she said. “To help. He needs help”, she said with a strong Eastern European accent, pointing at the Burgenlander. The slim Indian lad from Hoshiarpur and the Burgenlander managed to transport bulky pieces of furniture down three flights, very gently, very slowly. The Burgenlander presented me with a bottle of wine and some homemade peach compote, and then he drove off. He said he’d be back in a couple of days to pick up the rest of the furniture. I said thank you to the Indian lad. To the Schnapslady and the Burgenlander. It was almost dark and I went for some Vietnamese food. Today, I talked to the Burgenlander on the phone. He still has difficulties finding men to help carrying the last pieces of furniture. Actually, he added, he had offered the Indian lad from last time some payment for his help, but he wouldn’t take any money. The woman, well, the woman won’t be much help this time either, because she’s so embarrassed. She had started fooling around a bit with the Indian lad’s brother, and had promised to call him. But now she hasn’t called him for two days, and she’s embarrassed. What can you do.

"I'm just so accustomed to them and I like the attention that they get me. They're a very big part of my life.

Film of the Day - Black Book

A movie for every day of the year – a good one
Netherlands declares independence from Spain, 1568
On this day in 1568, the battle of Heligerlee was fought and won by the rebel army of William I of Orange, against the Duke of Alba, representative of the Hapsburg ruling dynasty. It marked the beginning of the 80 Years’ War for the independence of the Protestant Netherlands from Catholic Spanish rule. Though the rebels won the battle, they lost the campaign, due to lack of funds, and the rebellion sputtered out, only to flame up again in 1572. By 1581 the Netherlands were independent, though it took until 1648 for this to be recognised by Spain, who were at various times in the interim fighting a war against France, Turkey and England, all of whom wanted to prevent the Hapsburgs from becoming the dominant family in Europe. At a time when dynasties appeared to be the natural order in Europe, the Netherlands’ fight for independence marked a shift towards a different organising principle: the nation state.
Black Book (2006, dir: Paul Verhoeven)
Paul Verhoeven, born in the Netherlands in 1938, decamped to Hollywood in the 1980s, where he made a run of hugely successful hit movies. Some were powerfully imagined sci-fi numbers (Total Recall, RoboCop), others trashy teases (Showgirls, Basic Instinct), some a bit of both (Starship Troopers, Hollow Man). For his return to his native country he’s gone back to the territory explored in Soldier of Orange – the Second World War – and is using all the tricks he learnt marshalling some of Hollywood’s moodiest actors and biggest budgets to tell a widescreen story of a singer called Rachel who, after seeing her entire family killed and then, in death, turned over for their valuables, infiltrates the Gestapo to pass information back to the Netherlands Resistance. Rachel is a Jew, and the name is a giveaway, so along with dying her hair blonde, she takes a gentile name, Ellis, and dives in. This is a story of clear goodies and baddies. Well it would be if Verhoeven hadn’t made it. Rachel/Ellis is obviously on the side of the angels, but otherwise there are more shades of grey in Black Book (choice of title obviously ironic) than you get in the average war film made by someone who actually remembers the Nazis inhabiting his home country, as Verhoeven does. Disconcertingly, the baddies turn out to have redeeming features. In the case of one appallingly bestial Nazi, he has the most gorgeous singing voice. In the case of local Nazi boss Ludwig Müntze (Sebastian Koch), he’s a cultured man, a stamp collector, obeying orders with a great deal of reluctance. The goodies, too, aren’t that great, there being something very dubious going on in the higher echelons of the Dutch Resistance. At one point, in fact, Rachel/Ellis is caught between both parties, accused by each of being a spy. What is a girl to do? Verhoeven also addresses that old saw, of the Jews being in some sense responsible for their fate, in the figure of this brave woman putting her life on the line every day to try and defeat Hitler and his henchmen.
As well as being a cracking wartime thriller, Black Book is a Verhoeven film, so there’s got to be nudity, though watch how it is used. Rachel/Ellis dyes her pubic hair – careful girl – so collar and cuffs will pass even intimate tests. There are a number of scenes in which naked Gestapo men make sexual sport with local Dutch girls. The girls are naked because they are chattels; the men are naked as a sign of their power. Yet in the scenes where Rachel goes to bed with Müntze, intending to do him injury but in fact falling for him, nudity turns into something more familiar – a marker of genuine intimacy. This lack of fear in the face of the naked body has always marked Verhoeven out, and may explain why some of the reviews for this film were a bit lukewarm; payback from the puritans. Though the critical herd mentality could be at play too – Verhoeven just isn’t hot any more. And nor are war films. Black Book is not perfect, there is a terrible squeezing of too much material into too small a space once the war ends and Rachel heads off fairly unnecessarily to a kibbutz, but Carice Van Houten’s performance is nuanced and magnetic and star-making, and Koch is as great as he ever is (you might have seen him as the lead in The Lives of Others). This is a film that deserves to be seen.

It brings back memories of her experiences in The Netherlands during the war, memories of betrayal. September 1944. Rachel is in trouble when her hiding place is bombed by allied troops. She gets in contact with a man from the resistance and joins a group of Jews who are to be smuggled across the Biesbosch by boat to the freed South Netherlands. Germans from a patrol boat murder them all however. Only Rachel is able to escape. She is rescued by a resistance group under the leadership of Gerben Kuipers.

Ability to communicate: QA organization are like a central place where all information comes and go. Hence, they should to be able to articulate about all the information that is coming in and try to give it back to different types of people. So, the most important skill a software/application tester needs to have high levels of communication skills. Being a quality assurance manager, the testing vendor need to communicate to the developer, product manager, product designer, of even CEO. So, he or she should have the ability to communicate with different layers of the organization.
Ability to think: Another important skill that a testing vendor should have is his/her ability to think. He/she should acknowledge the fact that testing is not about checking and ticking boxes. Instead, it is about thinking and asking a question what is the problem. The testing vendor should have great analytical skills. They should be able to think and learn and interact with their products so that they can provide valuable information to their stakeholders. The ideal candidate must possess ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking and have the capacity to discuss emerging trends in the market.
Ability to learn together: In this evolutionary era, you get new applications coming through as a test. Therefore, a professional testing vendor should be able to understand what are the features, functionalities and requirements of the new products. This involves continuous learning requirement. A tester should not have only one skill for a certain job i nstead, he/she has to have many skills to do his/her job properly. Apart from just testing your software, he/she should be able enough to recommend you the best approaches to carryout the project.
Below are some of the key factors that you need to adopt prior to the selection process of a software testing vendor or company, because once you select the vendor of your choice; there are many other features and functionality at a technical level that you'll need to discuss with him or her.
Do your research: Before selecting any testing or QA partner, it is highly recommended that you perform some research online and offline about some of the vendors within your geographic location as well as nationwide; that provide the necessary services and have the required capability to cater for your particular needs. When shortlisting the qualified vendors, make sure that you select some well-established firms who have sufficient business experience in the field of testing and quality assurance services.
Do not stick to just one vendor: Consider at least three to five different vendors. You may have one in mind as your favorite but you never know what the others have to offer. Therefore, we recommend you to select at least three to five vendors, who are the true representation of various competitive firms out there for the solutions that you are looking for.
Allocate enough time to selection process: Also make sure that you allocate enough time both for yourself as well as for potentially the team, that you provide the guidance and selection process itself. Doing the evaluation takes time. Sometimes it may take several weeks to evaluate a small number of vendors to determine which one you should go with. You should not rush that process and should take the necessary time required to do a proper evaluation.
Consider the type of outsourcing: There are many different types of outsourcing. There could be on shore that can be on site or there can be near shore of offshore outsourcing. You should keep in mind what type of outsourcing, you're planning on doing way ahead of the selection process and get your management team on board with that.
Take care of their time zones: If you have reached out to other countries for testing services, which apparently are located at different time zones, then it can sometime become challenging to collaborate. It can also be great, because when you are sleeping in the United States or Russia, other people in other countries are working so it creates a virtual twenty-four-hour-a-day type of development cycle. One of the things that you need to consider when working with the testing vendors that are physically located at different time zones and could be working as far away as on the other side of the planet is the quality of those resources.
Consider the reputation of your testing partner: Before making any decision about selecting a testing partner, it is imperative that you consider his/her standing & credibility in the market. Try to get reference from their previous clients to assess their area of expertise and level of skills.


Abstract—Route discovery in the routing process is of concern when network topology tends to change. This change can be caused by the movement of the node itself and the non-active node. This study aimed to propose a route selection technique using fixed particle swarm optimization (fixed-PSO). This algorithm was modeled in a purpose function, i.e. the minimum distance from the origin to the destination node. To demonstrate the performance of this mechanism, two scenarios used in the simulation. The first scenario used a 25-node in usual state topology where all the nodes in the network were connected and the second scenario used the same number of nodes representing abnormal conditions by disabling some nodes in the network. The simulation results showed that in general, the minimum distance of route selection of both scenarios was obtained in the first scenario (normal condition). More relay nodes were needed when the conditions were not normal. Similarly, when the node transmission coverage was shortened, more relay nodes were required to reach the destination. The fixed-PSO technique can be applied to active mobile network topologies while nodes join or leave the group unexpectedly.

Celebrities and iconic people throughout history get the privilege to have a replica of themselves preserved in many wax museums across the globe. Madame Tussauds is the most popular museum franchise that preserves pop culture through the art of sculpture. The process of creating a wax sculpture is quite interesting and requires skill and technique that only few can do. The process of creating a signature Madame Tussauds’ wax figure is normally three months.

Step 1 – Celebrity Data Collection

The first step is referred to as “sitting”. The celebrities meet with the artists for almost two hours while they collect their measurements, proportions, skin tone, and specific facial features that make that celebrity iconic. This is when they also take reference photos and even take hair samples!

Step 2 – The Skeleton

This is the drafting phase of the celebrity. The start with basic armatures and a clay face and begin creating the foundation for the sculpture. Artists ensure that even the bone and muscle structure are anatomically correct to the original person. The head sculpture can take up to six weeks with around 150g of clay.

Step 3 – Moulding

This step of the process takes 170 hours to complete. The original design is molded into plaster and cast with fiberglass. This also allows for replicas of the original sculpture to be recreated. An entire, full figure can weigh around 25 kg.

Step 4 – Hair!

Each individual strand of hair is strategically placed by hand. Eyelashes, eyebrows, and even beards are all individual punched into the wax/ This step can take up to four weeks to finish. Once every piece of hair is placed, it is then cut and styled.

Step 5 – Skin Tone

Oil paints are used to build up layers to create as realistic skin as possible. Almost 20 different skin colors go into creating a lifelike skin. This is when tattoos, freckles, and moles are painted on.

Step 6 – Clothes/Eyes/Teeth

In terms of clothing, many celebrities donate their own clothing for authenticity. If not, designers research and create historically accurate replicas. In addition, custom eyes and teeth are created for the sculpture as well. Sometimes, replica teeth are molded directly from the celebrity. Overall, creating teeth and eyes can take up to about 30 hours.

Step 7 – Finishing Touches

Once everything is put into place, the sculpture is then moved to a photography studio to be documented and critiqued. Each figure is maintained every week to ensure that is preserved in the best shape as possible.

The Beyer family truly enjoys visiting Madame Tussauds Wax Museums. It is a fun time seeing all of these celebrities duplicated through the art of wax. Some look almost identical to the real person! Here are some photos we took … Continue reading →

How many times have you woken up after your night out and noticed that your hair looked better than when you freshly styled it? How many times has your hair looked better the second or third day after you curled it and you wished your hair looked like this on your night out? If you’re a glam girl like I am, I’m pretty sure this has happened to you many times. So, how do you achieve this look without trying?
This is another hair tutorial I have had requested to do many times. I call this “French Bedroom Hair”. I usually do hair tutorials with hair extensions in, so I thought it would be fun to do this video without my extensions. The nice thing is that you don’t even need hairspray to achieve this look, but you do need good texturizing products. I looked for some good cruelty-free hair products and found Head Kandy Professional, so I reached out to them since their products looked promising. I was happy to put them to work, and I feel that they achieved exactly what they were meant to achieve. I’m also done with my dry shampoo, so I will definitely go buy theirs going forward!
First, apply dry shampoo to any parts of your hair that might be oily. Brush out your hair if needed, and part it in the middle. I used Head Kandy’s Style Me WannaBe- Dry Shampoo.
Now, section your hair, putting all the hair from the front of your ear forward into a section. Then, take the hair from behind the ear back and curl it vertically in big chunks. To curl the sections, twist the hair slightly and wrap it around the curling iron in the direction away from your face. Leave 2-3 inches at the end of each section uncurled by not wrapping it around the curling iron.
Then, take the front section you put aside in front of your ear. Make this part two sections. Take the section that is the closest to the back part of your hair that you have already curled, and curl this piece towards your face! This will give your hair more volume in the side/front. Then, the very front piece should be curled back away from your face to match the rest of your hair.
For this, I used Head Kandy’s Style Me Air Head – Shake Texture Spray. I sprayed it lightly in sections all over my head to give my hair a good texture. Then, I waited to let the hair dry.
For this, I used Head Kandy’s Style Me Drama Queen- Volume Powder Puff. Apply the powder mist to the roots of your hair to give it lift. After applying, brush your hair with your fingers, shaking it to merge all of the products together. Toss it so it’s more bedroomy.
Shape your hair as you see fit. I shook my hair a lot to merge the products and give my hair volume. Then, I teased it in the back a little, giving it that French Bardot-esque look.


It’s a sentiment that remains true today whatever you’re selling. Whatever you may think of the political consequences, there’s little doubt that both Trump and Brexit have shown us that people are hungry for ideas more than facts. Why? Because while facts may be accurate or prove a point, they often do not inspire.
Storytelling and humanising ideas does inspire.
You can sense the excitement in the communications industry at the prospect of enhanced targeting. Programmatic media buying. Social CRM. Marketing automation. They are all radicalising how we find our audience. I, for one, wholeheartedly agree. The ability to accurately target based on a set of well-defined criteria and observable behaviours is literally what 1:1 marketing-dreams are made of. Finally, we’re able to fulfil those ambitions of the 90’s and accurately target individual customers with highly relevant messages.
It is transforming the way we talk to existing customers. But more importantly, it’s revolutionising the way we target and talk to prospects. The opening of data sets from Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and others means we have access to literally hundreds of data points to make audience selections.
Then add the possibilities of programmatic media buying – where we buy actual audiences, rather than guesstimates of who reads which media – and suddenly prospect marketing becomes extremely exciting.
Ironically, it means prospect data can now be more useful and accurate than customer data.
Truth is, existing customer data can be out of date, of poor quality or key fields can be left unfilled. In contrast, prospect data supplied by DSPs and social media partners is well structured, fresh and with multiple fields to choose from.
Crucially, that has significant consequences for marketing strategy.
For years, brands with growth ambitions have set themselves the task of acquiring new customers. Yet the long-learned wisdom of 1:1 marketing told us it was always cheaper to cross-sell to an existing customer than try to find a new one. And that was true – particularly when you needed to buy lists, send expensive mail packs or were using telemarketing.
But now, acquiring new customers is easier and cheaper.
While the world of marketing automation is complex and jargon-tastic, there’s little doubt tools such as Adobe’s Audience Manager and Media Optimiser and Campaign can greatly improve prospecting. They’re external facing. They have a relatively low impact on existing IT infrastructure. And they are quick to deploy. All of which means you can quickly recoup your investment by delivering more campaigns, faster, with more accurate targeting, and without relying on customer data.
So back to the quote from David Ogilvy. If it’s now much easier to reach your audience, surely marketing success is a given? Well, no.
It’s easy to become seduced by technology. Believing because we can find people more cost-effectively that the results should be guaranteed. The fact we can measure everything online makes that even more tantalising. We finally know precisely which parts of our marketing are delivering.
But there’s one crucial missing piece. Insightful, meaningful creative.
Because finding people has only ever been part of the story. You still need to win them over. And, in world of constant marketing noise, that’s never been more important. Programmatic marketing and Social CRM without engaging creative is akin to finding the hottest person at a party and standing by their side, hoping they’ll magically find you attractive. From personal experience, I know that doesn’t work.
You need to start a conversation, build a rapport, a connection that fits your brand. And in a way that fits the medium.
There’s no doubt this is a golden time for 1:1 marketing. The vision of being able to talk to millions of people as individuals with targeted messages has never been more real. And we’re able to deliver those messages quicker and more cost effectively than ever. Having found our audience, we still need great ideas so we can take advantage of that situation, talk to them in a human, engaging way.
But even as we do, it’s critical to remember still you can’t bore somebody into buying. Today we call it humanising the algorithm. I’m pretty sure David would approve.

If it seems like the new Checker's in Smyrna popped up overnight, that's because it did. A modular 1,100-square-foot building was delivered to the site on Sgt. Asbury Hawn Way around 7 a.m.
"Checkers restaurants plan to enter Roanoke market "
Checkers and Rally's Restaurant Inc. is making moves to put its casual restaurants into the Roanoke Valley market by the end of the year.
"Why Are So Many Quick-Service Restaurants Being Sold?"
The March 23 announcement of Oak Hill Capital’s purchase of the Checkers and Rally’s burgers brands fell in the middle of a quick-service acquisition spree.


The award-winning children’s program based theme park, Sesame Place, will be celebrating 50 years as an establishment with intentions of making this 2019 season the greatest one yet.
According to Bucks Local News, to honor Sesame Place’s 50th Anniversary a few attractions were revealed, such as the Sesame Street Neighborhood staring the Muppets from Sesame Street – Elmo, Abby Cadabby, and Big Bird.
The theme park is dedicated to ensuring all visitors have the time of their life. The theme park’s president, Cathy Valeriano, shares, ”From becoming the world’s first theme park to being a designated Certified Autism Center, to the opening of our second roller coaster, Oscar’s Wacky Taxi, and now opening our brand-new Sesame Street Neighborhood, the entire park will come to life in a way guests have never experienced before."
Another fun perk Sesame Place now has to offer it's visitors is the chance to snap a selfie with Mr. Snuffleupagus and Big Bird at Abby’s Paradise Theater.


I have no idea of the technique for this trick and I include it only as a suggestion for the serious balancers out there. Start with a forehead balance and using either a flick of the head or a short jump, hop the club down to your nose, then go down again to your chin. I have tried this several times and came to the conclusion that it is easier to go down your face than up it (forehead to chin, rather than chin to forehead). I also experienced a few club/eyeball incidents, most of which are too horrific to describe here.

Get your chest and abs looking their best before hitting the beach by removing your chest hair at Body Details. The results will make your skin flawless and your muscles more defined.
Thick, coarse hair on the chest and abs is often viewed as a turnoff, and going bare has become a popular trend for men. Chest hair removal is particularly common among those in the fitness circuit since muscles can’t be seen when they’re hidden beneath a blanket of hair. A bare chest and midsection reveals your abs, making them appear more sculpted and defined. Body Details can remove chest hair completely or thin it out with laser hair removal.
Body Details uses the most advanced laser hair removal technology available. Our True Lasers are designed to remove hair by emitting wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the pigment of the hair. These lasers can effectively destroy hair without damaging the surrounding skin. Results are smooth, defined abs and Body Details guarantees you’ll be hair free for a lifetime.
Aside from aesthetic appeal, removing chest hair can greatly benefit the quality of your skin. Men who are covered in coarse chest hair often experience irritation, blemishes, and excessive sweating. Whereas other hair removal methods leave sharp stubble and ingrown hairs, chest laser hair removal leaves only smooth, flawless skin. Clients can either have the hair removed completely or ask the technician to thin it out. Either option will make the body feel lighter and decrease sweat production, which will reduce friction, irritation, chafing, and inflammation.
Serious athletes often choose to have the hair on their chest, back, legs, and arm hair removed completely because hair-free skin reduces friction and increases speed. If you’re looking to improve your time while running, cycling, or swimming, you may want to consider permanent hair removal as a solution.
If you’re a guy who suffers from excessive sweating, your doctor may have recommended chest laser hair removal. Since this hair removal technique is designed to prevent future hair growth, sweat will no longer become trapped in hair follicles, where it builds a layer of heavy perspiration and creates a foul odor.
Reveals chest, abs, and other muscles, so they appear more toned.
Reduces or eliminates the possibility of ingrown hairs, blemishes, and infections.
Prevents workouts from being interrupted by sweat-induced irritation or chafing.
Significantly reduces sweat and body odor.
Makes skin softer and smoother.
Eliminates the stubble and razor burn that shaving leaves behind.
Saves time on regular upkeep.
Saves money that would be spent on razor blades and wax treatments.

In years gone by, the submission of the candidature files was an occasion to look out for on the Olympic calendar.
The Italian Government has pledged its support to the joint Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo bid for the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in a letter sent by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach.
Stockholm's bid for the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games is now an official joint effort with Åre as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed receipt of the Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo and Swedish candidature files here today.
Government guarantees are set to be absent from the candidature files due to be submitted by 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games bidders Stockholm and Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) tomorrow, senior official Christophe Dubi has confirmed.
Italian officials are planning to keep their proposal to host sliding sports at the Eugenio Monti track should they be awarded the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach has claimed the joint Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo bid has an "excellent chance" of securing the hosting rights for the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Erzurum has been dropped from the race for the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) put forward Calgary, Stockholm and a joint Italian bid to the next stage of the process.


The idea of forming African Institute of Arts, Science, and Technology came out of the painful observation of an existing need, a need to empower African youths and provide skills training to unskilled university graduates. The founders’ aim, among other things, is burnish the entrepreneurial spirit of the African youth in arts, science, and technology in a changing world, a world where seeking employment, or waiting for the government to provide resource and employment, is no longer the norm. To get ahead, African youths, like youths everywhere, must be at the forefront of this evolution. They must be enterprising, innovative, skillful, and devoted to this new way of thinking.
To bring this idea into fruition, a few people got together to think together and an institution was born. It is our hope that from this small beginning, bigger and bigger things will come. This is only but a small step that may lead to giant, gliding steps in the future. We hope you will join us in this effort.

Project OAKS is a Gloucestershire mental health initiative created by a multi-agency team, working together to improve mental health outcomes for Gloucestershire families. It has been designed on the principle that when children do better, so will parents and when parents do better, so will their children.
The intervention activity is simple to set up in schools with a scripted assembly PowerPoint to explore what we mean by 'family' and to introduce the 'Feel Good Five'. Using the Five Ways to Well-being model, the children and young people take home an activity task sheet to complete over a period of time with their families. The children hand in their task sheet for the teachers to collect, each one has a simply measured survey question providing a baseline and impact data point. When compiled, the data will provide evidence of both mental health work that promotes pupil premium considerations and parental engagement making it a terrific intervention towards your GHLL accreditation or simply as evidence of great practice in your school.
Taking part in the activity will also provide evidence to support the Mental Health Champion Award.

The Wastewater Treatment Plant is located at 725 Industrial Drive. It sits on 125 acres and was originally built in 1983 as a biological and natural treatment process. Due to the rapid growth of the city, the treatment plant was modified and expanded in 1988 and again in 2002. The process now employed is called an oxidation ditch.
The oxidation ditch takes the wastewater and mixes it with various amounts of oxygen, naturally produced sludge and bacteria. During this mixing process, the bacterium uses the oxygen to reproduce and then feeds on the sludge and numerous other pollutants, effectively removing them from the wastewater.
The treated wastewater leaves the ditch and flows into two clarifiers, which separate the solids from the wastewater. Afterwards, the separated sludge is either sent back to the oxidation ditch for further treatment or is deposited into a six acre storage lagoon.
The wastewater then flows through a UV disinfection chamber and is then discharged to Frey Creek or used through a spray irrigation system. The State of Tennessee presently permits the city to discharge 1.1 million gallons per day to Frey Creek with an additional permitted discharge of 300,000 gallons per day through the original plant’s spray irrigation system.


At Pennard we use VCOPS to help your child with their writing. Read on to find more!
Vocabulary has the power to help people really see how things look.
It holds the secret of how characters and places really feel.
Although words for sights and sounds are good they are very important to help explain taste, touch, smell and feelings too.
We learn how to pick just the right nouns or verbs to give writing real power over a reader.
We learn how to use the right adjectives and adverbs to hypnotise people into really seeing and feeling a piece of writing.
Noun – A word that names a person, place or thing: The tired, scaredboy trudged slowly through the thick mud.
Adjective – A word used to describe a person, place or thing: Thetired, scared boy trudged slowly through the thick mud.
Verb – A word to describe action; what is happening in the sentence: The tired, scared boy trudged slowly through the thick mud.
Adverb -A word to describe how the action is taking place: The tired, scared boy trudged slowly through the thick mud.
Connectives help us link ideas together.
Without them our writing can be repetitive and boring.
Connectives give us opportunity to add more detail to a sentence, but they don’t always appear in the middle of sentences!
Openers help us add structure and interest to our writing, their job is to hook the reader in and keep them reading. We can start sentences in lots of different ways.
Sometimes – they jump up and tells the reader when something is happening.
First – they can tell when something happened.
Suddenly,Crazily – great adverb openers.
Dangerous, dark and damp – amazing adjective openers.
Although – can be a link between ideas at the beginning of a sentence too.
Alternatively, they can be used to express an opposite idea.
On dark, windy nights, when even the wolves stay in their dens, – sometimes they can be a whole phrase!
Punctuation helps us start and stop a sentence. If capital letters and full stops are missing, or in the wrong place, writing is weak. It will not have the power to grab a reader!
We also use commas to separate ideas. They work well when combined with connectives and openers.
Yes! We use exclamation marks for emphasis!
We can reveal what characters actually say with speech marks.
Do we ask questions? Of course, it’s a great weapon for hooking a reader.
Helping your child with V.C.O.P at home.
• Talk about and write down interesting (Wow) words in the stories you are reading at home.
• Try using the words you have found in a sentence.
• Have a mini-quiz: ‘How many words can you think of instead of ‘said’?’ or ‘went’, ‘nice’, ‘good’. Put each one in a sentence.
• Give your child a Wow word to put into a sentence. How many different sentences can they make?
• Give your child two different words and ask them to make different sentences from them. E.g.: ‘magical’ and ‘boy’.
• Remind them that they should use all their VCOPS skills when writing these sentences!
Connectives are used to join sentences together. The simplest connective to use is ‘and’, as in: Bill went to the shops and he bought an ice-cream.
• Try to search for connectives in the stories you read at home. Use them in a different sentence.
• Try rearranging sentences with the connectives at the start. E.g. The little boy shivered despite it being warm in the cave. – Despite it being warm in the cave the little boy shivered.
• Give your child a connective and ask them to use it in a sentence.
• Searching for openers in the stories you read at home and use them to start your own sentences.
• Give your child an opener and ask them to complete the sentence.
• Look at different types of punctuation in your reading at home.
• Ask your child to give examples of when they would use a ? or ! or . or , – use the punctuation pyramid.
• Use different types of punctuation in different sentences.
