This is the best program! I can't wait to complete my hours for the clinical exam. Thank you so much TDC!!!
Half the battle is learning what the question is asking. When I took the exam the first time, I missed passing by one point. I had little experience with answering exam questions for study. So this time I wanted to fill in my knowledge gaps, but most importantly, practice with as many questions as possible. TDC helped me to understand how to take the test, read for what the question was testing for, and evaluate each answer to make the best choice. The practice tests were invaluable, the cheat sheets were informative, and the positive framing of study and encouragement was motivating. My score jumped 40 points and I easily passed just under 80% this time having competency in all areas.
TDC is the only exam prep program I used, and from my perspective, there is no reason to consider any others.
I felt completely equipped walking into the test. The test taking strategies and audio files really made the difference! Thanks TDC!
This program was easy to use and was very helpful in preparing me for the exam. From the first audio to the last, and all the activities in between, thanks TDC!
It took me over six years to complete this process to be licensed. I moved state to state, and then could not find a job as an intern for a bit. I ended up working for a foster agency in Riverside and love my job! I stayed there, getting hours, slowly but surely, and after plugging away, I was able to pass both exams that are required. I had a baby 8 months ago and pretty much was working on the licensure process my entire marriage of 5 years. I love the study materials through TDC! I am so excited and say with a breath of relief, it is achieved!
I had been studying for about a week before I purchased this program and felt that I needed extra material to be prepared for the actual exam. I purchased the program 4 days prior to my exam date. I had taken time off of work so all my focus was on studying and I was able to complete the program. I loved the way the program was organized especially the audio parts. Listening to rationales were very helpful and understanding the thought process instead of just knowing facts. I passed my MFT Law and Ethics exam the first time! I will definitely use this program for the Clinical exam. Thank you so much!
Great program! Everything I needed to learn was covered. I felt very prepared when I took the test and passed.
I passed my exam for MFT licensure. My first try! The pep talk really helped! I reviewed and read all the material twice over a leisurely 7 month period. I got more serious 3 weeks before my test date and started studying in earnest and the week before the exam. I took several days off work and devoted myself to intense studying and review. I truly didn't think I had passed when I hit the submit button but remembered almost everyone feels that way when they take this test. Thank you!
This prep program is the best out there in terms of thoroughness, depth of knowledge, friendliness, multiple media approaches, and ease of use. I also love Amanda and Robin's voices which helped immensely as I imagined them talking to me and discussing the options throughout the test. And finally, the Top 30 & Top 50 Topics were very instrumental to my success in passing. I also strongly recommend booking coaching sessions; the gems I received were priceless.
Thank you so much! Your system works. I followed it down to the letter and passed my Clinical MFT exam. Excellent program. I felt so prepared. You were right Amanda, there were questions that made no sense. I just checked an answer and kept on moving. I heard you say, "Check it Linda and kept on moving." Thank You!
TDC really helped not only with what I needed to know, but how to approach the exam and how to hold some of the uncomfortable feelings that come up during the exam. Don't skip the final pep talk! I listened to it the morning of the exam, and it really helped. Also, the Top 50 section was a goldmine for last minute review. Thank you!
I was very unsure of myself and my ability to pass this exam, but TDC prepped me, and helped me to have more confidence. I love how structured the material was, because it helped to ease a lot of my anxiety by having a study plan. The best skill that TDC helped me on developing was not only to know the right answer, but to understand why the other answers were wrong. I was able to narrow down most of the questions to two answers because I learned how to eliminate wrong answers. The advice of "Attacking the Test" was so inspiring that I wrote that on my scratch paper before I started the exam. I highly recommend TDC, and could not have passed this test without such great prep material!
What was so instrumental in getting me to pass this test was the rationals provided along the way. The audio segments were critical in helping me learn, hear the inner voice during test taking, and provide valuable tools for success. I had failed the test twice using another study program which obviously was not yielding results. Other programs cram so much information in a few days of training which leaves no room for assimilation and provide little support along the way. I also felt that this program tapped into the feminine mind which was critical for me. In addition, chunking the material in bite sizes was equally beneficial as it allowed me to truly remember the material along the way. A big thank you!
I know I would not have studied everything that was in this program if I’d just tired to study on my own. This program showed me where I was weak, so I could concentrate on those areas. I loved the organization and the ease of using this program. I had to concentrate it into six weeks, but I could see the value of taking longer and going through the material more than once.
The strategies shared about how to frame the questions and to eliminate answers, plus the practice exams and explanations, helped so much in preparing for the MFT clinical exam. In addition, it was so helpful to have all the information we need to know consolidated in one place, plus a structured program within which to study it.
I had taken the LMFT clinical exam last year and used Gerry Grossman's study material and I did not pass the exam by 7 points. There were many questions on this exam that I was unable to answer (i.e. reality theory, self-psychology, etc.) because Gerry Grossman does not provide study material for additional theories. My friend told me about TDC, so I figured I give it a try. I like how the speaker puts everything into perspective by giving real life examples. Plus, the material is structured and easy to study. The TDC mock exam was very similar to the actual exam since the LMFT exam phrased things like "What action step would a therapist take?" compared to Gerry Grossman mock exams, which most of the treatment questions had a specific theory. The LMFT exam only had about 13-15 questions related to a specific theory while the rest of the treatment questions asked "what a systems therapist would do?" I felt more prepared this time around to take the LMFT exam after using TDC study material.
I used TDC for both my Law and Ethics and Clinical exam. I loved having both the audio and worksheets to use. I was over prepared for both the exams and passed on my first attempt both times. Thank you so much!!
Without TDC I never would have passed the LMFT Clinical Exam on my first attempt... or my second or third. This is a tough exam. As many can probably attest to, the BBS dragged their feet and made me jump through hoops to approve my hours, and TDC graciously extended their services three times to accommodate the bureaucracy. By the time I asked for my third extension, I jokingly wrote to Lindsay that I wish I'd discovered this program before I wasted so much money on grad school. In all seriousness, this program not only covers everything you need to know, but also provides many opportunities - practices quizzes, rationales, tests, DSM comparisons - to practice what you learn along the way. I believe that if you put the time in and follow their suggestions, you will feel as grateful as I do today.
Your program definitely prepared me in all areas tested! It gave me the information necessary to eliminate wrong answers and tips to pick out clues from the vignette that helped me in answering the question.

“Some men there are who never shave (if they are so absurd as ever to shave), except when they go abroad, and who do not take care to wear polished boots in the bosoms of their families. I like a man who shaves (next to one who doesn’t shave) to satisfy his own conscience, and not for display, and who dresses as neatly at home as he does anywhere. Such a man will be likely to put his garden in complete order before the snow comes, so that its last days shall not present a scene of melancholy ruin and decay.” So wrote Charles Dudley Warner in his wonderful little book (much more than a gardening book) My Summer in a Garden (1898). I gave up shaving a few months ago, but I am putting my garden in order for autumn.
’Tis the season to really put the “organic” in organic gardening. “Organic,” as in organic materials, natural compounds composed mostly of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. “Organic,” as in materials that are or were once living, things like compost, leaves, manure, and hay.
I’ve spread compost over almost all my vegetable garden beds. A one inch depth laid atop each bed provides all the nutrients the vegetable plants need for a whole season, in addition to other benefits such as snuffing out weeds, holding moisture, improving aeration, and nurturing beneficial, pest-fighting organisms.
“The poor farmer grows weeds, the mediorcre farmer grows crops, the good farmer grows soil.” How true, when I think of the good farmers and gardeners I’ve visited over the years. I aspire to be a good farmdener and spend a lot of time trying to grow soil.
Sustainable right down to my potting mixes? Not quite. A look at coir vs. peat, and other organic components. And what about perlite.
With spring’s warm spells comes irrationality. Avocadoes in New York? Why not? Rush out to plant onions. (Timing turned out correct).
One of the strangest creatures I ever found in my compost was the dinosaur that emerged today as I turned the pile. It was worse for the wear, the gash in its head probably from my machete, the “solar powered” shredder I use for stemmy compostables like corn stalks. (Think about it.) After a year in the pile’s innards, the dinosaur’s greenish, scaly skin has been bleached almost white.
Maple leaves already dapple the ground in red and yellow (early this year), one morning showed off what was to come with frost on the windshield, and each day the sun each hangs lower in the sky, yet I’m getting ready for spring planting. Really! Yes, I’d rather do it now than in spring.
Among the many benefits of gardening is the opportunity it offers for enjoyable, productive exercise in the great outdoors. And now we can add an exercise called rei-king to boot camp, pilates, zumba, kick boxing, cardiofunk, and other ways modern humans build and maintain sleek, fit bodies. Or so I told my wife, Deb.
Rei-King by Deborah as Sammy looks on.
As with some of those other exercise routines, equipment is needed, simple equipment in the case of rei-king. Basically, the equipment is a pole, perpendicular to and at the end of which is a length of wood or metal, attached in its middle to the pole. From the lower side of the length of wood or metal are teeth, each a couple of inches apart and a couple of inches long.
Looking out on my vegetable garden last week, I noticed some yellowing leaves on kale transplants. Perhaps the yellowing leaves were just a legacy from the kale transplants adjustment to their home outdoors. In the greenhouse, lettuce that I planted last month lacked its expected exuberance. Perhaps slow growth of lettuce was my imagination.

how to get rid of warts from face?
Warts are viruses, hence spread over time. Warts might sometime resolve spontaneously, but mostly need treatment. Zinc therapy for 2 months can improve facial warts. If not, surgical removal by radio frequency device is needed.

In medicine, a bypass usually means making another route for the blood to flow. Sometimes an artery, the channel through which the blood flows, becomes blocked up. The patient has a bypass operation. Very often the surgeon will take part of a vein from the patient's leg and move it to the place with the blockage so that the blood can flow round the blocked part.

In the interests of peace is a comical satire that unhinges the dilemma of combat soldiers carrying out peacekeeping roles. Set in Timor Leste (East Timor) during the 2006 Crisis, this delightful puppet play features a cross-cultural cast of finely crafted puppets, and is a sharp insight into the often untold local community experience of peacekeeping. In the interests of peace is a hilarious and mindful work featuring performance by Timorese artists and a bilingual narrative. In the interests of peace celebrates laughter against adversity and reveals the twisted reality of political circumstance.
ABOUT THE WRITER / CREATOR: In the interests of peace is written and created by Rochelle Humphrey. This work is derived from her personal experience, whilst pregnant in Timor during the height of the violence in 2006. Her experiences shaped a unique on the ground understanding of the crisis, which also prompted questions about the role of peacekeeping. In the interests of peace is part of a wider multi-platform works including several films produced and filmed in Timor. In addition to published research ‘Peacekeeping in the interests of peace: A gendered response to Australian Peacekeeping in Timor Leste, 2006 in ‘Gender Mobility and Citizenship in Asia (edited by Mikako Iwatake, Helsinki, 2010). Rochelle’s creative endeavors utilizing several mediums all share a common thread -human rights. Her academic achievements include a Bachelor of Fine Art, (major in sculpture), Post Graduate Diploma in Arts Administration and Management, and Masters of Arts- International Relations with a specialization in Human Rights and International Law.

Indian, Portuguese, British, and German influences all add a hint of the exotic to the culinary flavors of Tanzania, in addition to the over 120 ethnic tribes that have lived in the country for hundreds of years. Age old African traditional cooking and European flair blend together beautifully to create a unique East African journey through texture and taste that avid foodies just have to try. Here are some of the most memorable and unusual Tanzanian delicacies.
Can’t find the dinner cutlery?
Before getting to the food itself, travelers should be aware that knives and forks don’t feature very prominently at a traditional Tanzanian dinner table. Locals usually eat from a communal dish or dishes, scooping handfuls onto their plates and mopping up sauces with various local breads. It is perfectly acceptable to eat with your fingers and there will always be a water bowl nearby to wash your hands before you dine. The right hand is used to eat, as the left is considered unclean, and traditionally Tanzanians eat sitting on the floor or at a low table.
Monsoon is one of the most popular restaurants on the island of Zanzibar and serves up traditional Swahili flavors with a flair. Floor cushion dining is accompanied by gorgeous, colorful décor, as well as live Taraab music to really set the island scene. Dishes for foodies to try include delicacies such as tasty kebabs served with a mango and papaya salsa, and tender octopus cooked in coconut sauce. Don’t miss out on the cocktails for a perfect night out.
Ugali is considered the national dish of Tanzania and accompanies just about every meal, served alongside meat, fish, veggies, and even beans and sauce. For those not accustomed to eating with their hands, it makes things easier, as the dough can be rolled into a round shape and used to scoop up sauce and other little bits and pieces on a plate. The dough is made from cornflour and water and usually has a thick consistency. It is typically eaten from a bowl shared by everyone at the table.
This is one of the most traditional and delicious meals served in Tanzania and combines the locally grown and easily found ingredients of spinach, tomatoes, onion, and sweet potato leaves. All that is needed is a large pot to cook up the ingredients before adding some peanut butter to create a smooth cream sauce. Makubi is also thought to have health benefits, so there’s a double bonus on the culinary front.
Meat-loving foodies can spend hours in culinary heaven as they roam the food markets of Tanzania. One of the most popular street foods is nyama choma which loosely translates to “grilled meat.” It is prepared by taking freshly cut cubes of meat and slow roasting them on a grid over hot coals. Be warned that the meat is not always fish or chicken, but could also be goat. Often these skewers of succulent, char-grilled meat are served with ugali and a variety of other side dishes. Foodies shouldn’t miss a visit to the Forodhani Gardens in Zanzibar, one of the most popular food markets on the island.
This side dish consists of beans or rice and is usually eaten with meat. Although it may sound pretty normal, it is the infusion of aromatic East African spices that turns it into something special. Cinnamon, cardamom, and cumin seeds add an exotic element, while the rice or beans are cooked in coconut milk or oil, enhancing and enriching the flavors.
This dish is one of the more expensive traditional meals on offer in Tanzania but is packed with flavorful and healthy ingredients. Literally translated, it means “something that is boiled,” but this is no bland, overcooked offering. The specialty dish begins with fish or meat to which a host of other ingredients are added, such as carrots, potatoes, aubergine, cabbage, onions, plantain, peppers, and spices. The large number of elements used in mchemsho accounts for its hefty price tag, but the extra money is worth it.
Chapati is a great accompaniment to any meal and is similar to Indian flatbread or roti, in that it is made using no yeast or baking powder. The unleavened bread is fabulous with curries and stews and is also one of those side dishes that comes in handy when cutlery is not around. Simply tear off pieces to scoop up food and mop sauces off the plate.
Perfect for rounding off a meal without too much sweetness, the East African donut, or mandazi, is a form of fried coconut bread that has a lovely light and fluffy texture and is usually served in a triangle shape. Unlike donuts of the western world, these little treats don’t come layered in icing or sugar so you won’t feel too guilty popping one more into your mouth.
Tea was originally introduced to Tanzania hundreds of years ago by the British, and today the country is one of the largest tea producers in the world. It will come as no surprise then that Tanzanians take their tea drinking rather seriously and numerous tea rooms can be found around the bigger towns. Try the Akberali Tea Room in Dar es Salaam, a great little local hangout that serves a variety of East African specialties.

Rate this Article The development and application of Haptic feedback for VR continues to make new strides with newly developed wearable devices. Let’s take a look at a brand new one.
The VR industry continues to expand with a lot more devices and VR peripherals making their debut in the market. From VR masks to sandals, the list keeps going on. A lot of effort is going into making VR into a perfect experience. We truly are at the infancy of the technology as we still need to wear or attach contraptions and devices to ourselves for a chance to experience a complete feel of VR.
One of the major aspects of the technology being worked on to optimize the experience is the body suit. Several versions are being developed from wearable vests to full suits that encompass the body of the user. Each one no doubt has it’s own advantages in bringing VR to a person’s body area.
Body suits rely on Haptics or the sense of touch. Haptic feedback happens when you the gamer feels the sensation of physical contact as a result of playing the game.
NullSpace VR, Inc. is a company founded by Morgan Sinko and his close colleagues Lucian Copeland and Jordan Brooks from the University of Rochester. They are continually working on ways on how to revolutionize the way gamers interact with Virtual Reality. After years of experimenting, prototyping, and testing, they where able to come up with a revolutionary Haptic feedback vest that delivers a fully immersive VR experience in terms of physical sensation.
The vest which is worn like sort of a jacket lets the player experience a wide range of effects from being hit by something to feeling a blast of wind or a spray of water taking place in the game. Actions like punching, hugging and rubbing in VR will be fully simulated through the vest.
Called the Hardlight VR, the vest contain 16 programmable Haptic pads which are placed at strategic points that provide extremely precise touch feedback. It also uses a cadre of inertial tracking sensors to mirror the physical movements inside the game. This technique will let you see your entire avatar within the game and not just a head and a pair of floating hands.
The Hardlight VR uses Vibro-Tactile feedback similar to that being used with console game pads where it vibrates and gives you a shockwave when you get hit by something in the game. At that, an audio haptic mode is provided as an option where you can experience the feedback when playing outside of VR. You can play console games with your X-box and PlayStation and experience the effect without having to wear a VR headset.
The vest was developed to be adjustable and breathable so that people of different shapes and sizes can wear it comfortably. It was designed to sort of be adjusted once then simply worn like a jacket whenever it will be used. Specific sizes have been made available for both men and women.
There are straps on the side that can be adjusted to fit both lean and bulky users. The arm straps can be adjusted as well depending on the size or thickness of your arms whether it’s flab, muscle or bone. Finally the shoulder straps can be widened or narrowed to fit your biceps and shoulders. This is the trickiest part to adjust and is usually set up only once. The vest only weighs around 3.5 pounds which is similar to a light jacket. Also, the weight is distributed around your body so you will barely notice it at all.
The developers have pledged their commitment to provide Hardlight VR vests that will fit almost everyone as possible and invite people with unusual body measurements to contact them. GabeN would definitely want one for himself so, good luck to the developers.
Also, the package comes with an easy to use Application Program Interface (API) to allow developers to add Hardlight compatibility to existing games. A huge library of immersive Haptic functions is provided as well. As of now, the vest is tethered to the PC via USB cable but the final version according to Sinko will be a remote wireless affair.
The project was placed on Kickstart and has since then reached its kickstart mark. The company is targeting the release of the final commercial version around September of this year and is available as of now pre-ordered only through Kickstarter for a price of 499 USD.
The day will come that all we need will be ourselves to experience VR in a Holo-Deck and VR may be able to experience us as well in the outside just like Robert Picardo running around the Starship Voyager with his mobile emitter. Till then, let’s use what we’ve got.

Pressing issues like the prescription drug epidemic, which claims 44 lives each day from overdose, call for legal interventions. Long term strategies that look at how factors such as access to care, education, housing, environment and income impact health outcomes must consider the role of law in bringing about systemic change. And, because public health efforts are most effective when supported by laws, equipping practitioners and policymakers with the understanding of how law can empower public health is essential. Join the Network and 700 public health experts, practitioners, lawyers, policymakers and advocates in Washington, D.C., September 15 – 17 for the only national conference on public health law and policy. Register now and save.
Courts have typically garnered public attention when confronted with legal issues associated with vaccine policy, such as constitutional challenges to mandatory vaccination. Distinctly different issues arise, however, when a child’s parents argue with each other – rather than with the state – about whether or not to vaccinate their child. In these cases courts must evaluate the best interests of the child rather than determine the reach and limits of the law.
Legal approaches and tools are increasingly becoming a means for maximizing health equity. This webinar will focus on promising practices, based in law, to address health equity issues through drug abuse treatment and overdose prevention, Medical-Legal Partnerships, and interventions in domestic violence and homelessness. The webinar takes place at 1pm ET today, so register now!
The Network was recently contacted by a public health official in Arizona about the legal authority that state (or local) government has to abate public health nuisances, specifically related to potential breeding sites for disease-carrying mosquitoes. In Arizona, health authorities can order the removal or destruction of a public health nuisance in two primary ways, and specific abatement powers and processes may be altered pursuant to formal declarations of emergency or public health emergency.
A recently published article in Health Affairs examines gun-related suicide and violent crime rates in people with serious mental illnesses and whether legal restrictions on firearm sales to people with a history of mental health adjudication are effective in preventing gun violence. The study was funded by the National Science Foundation and the Public Health Law Research program.

We decided to do this series to address the idea by some Christians that the Old Testament (OT) is irrelevant. So far, we’ve looked at three of the four Gospels to see what Jesus thought of the OT. I think the conclusions we can draw are clear, so we’ll quickly look at Luke in this blog and then conclude the series by looking at all the data.
To put it simply, if our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, took what we call today the Old Testament seriously, so should we. The evidence says he did.
With this, you cannot fully understand Jesus’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection without understanding the Old Testament. This is the opinion of both Jesus and the writers of the New Testament.
Since the first three articles have proven this (and I don’t want to get too redundant!), I’ll share some brief observations on Luke, and then we’ll look at the total count of OT references in all four Gospels to conclude this series.
Like Matthew’s Gospel, Luke’s Gospel starts with a birth narrative of Jesus. In both Gospels, we find many references to the OT in these opening chapters by the authors to show that these events are in line with the Jewish Scripture and Jesus is the promised Messiah, a descendant of Abraham and David. Yet, with both Gospels, once Jesus’ public ministry begins, the majority of OT references are made by Jesus himself.
16 “The Law and the Prophets were until John [the Baptist]; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it. 17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void. (Luke 16:16–17).
Here, Jesus is saying both that the time of the OT (“The Law and the Prophets,” “the Law”) is past, but at the same time it does not become void. This supports the idea we saw in the other Gospels about Jesus NOT doing away with the OT but fulfilling it, and this naturally leads us into the new revelation of God, the New Testament (which is not “new” in the sense of something different, but a continuation and “fleshing out” of God’s Law).
Another interesting thing to note is Jesus’ regular use of Isaiah, which Jesus finds significance in quoting in relation to his ministry. In Luke 4:17-21, Jesus reads from an Isaiah scroll, then states, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” In 7:18-23, when John the Baptist sends his disciples to ask Jesus if he is “the one who is to come,” Jesus quotes Isaiah, citing his miracles as evidence that he is the Messiah. In 22:37, Jesus quotes from Isaiah 53, saying that it will be fulfilled in him. Isaiah 53 is probably the most famous chapter in Isaiah among Christians because it speaks of the “suffering servant,” who will take the punishment of the peoples’ sin upon himself.
25 And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:24–27).
44 Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. (Luke 24:44–47).
Imagine if only Luke recorded these conversations in whole!
Below are the final results for our 4-Gospel study of Jesus’ use of the Old Testament.
In hindsight, it would’ve been useful to separate the total of OT references by those used by the Gospels’ authors, those made by other people appearing in the Gospels’ narratives (such as the 12 Disciples, other Jews, etc.), and Jesus. But since this informal study was to really see how Jesus talked about the OT, this serves our purposes.
The chart below shows some obvious things. The number of chapters (which, admittedly, are not inspired and simply give us a rough idea of the length of each Gospel) compared to the OT references shows discussion of the OT was an important part of Jewish life and a regular thing throughout the Gospels. Moving to the right, we see clearly that Jesus spoke often about the OT and it was an important part of his ministry.
Keep in mind, where the chart below is interesting and helpful, the number of OT references by Jesus is not as important as what he actually says about it, which we looked at in each part of this series.
I’d like to hear any thoughts, insights, etc. below in the comments.

Cisco Talos says the gang responsible has managed to steal millions of dollars through phishing campaigns.
Researchers have uncovered a Bitcoin-stealing cybercriminal gang that has stolen millions of dollars by exploiting Google AdWords.
On Wednesday, cybersecurity experts from Cisco Talos revealed that with the help of the Ukraine Cyberpolice, the team has been able to track and monitor the group over the past six months.
In a blog post, researchers Jeremiah O'Connor and Dave Maynor said the campaign might be simple, but has reaped incredible financial rewards for the threat actors.
Dubbed "Coinhoarder," the criminal group's phishing activities were first discovered in February 2017. The group targeted the Bitcoin wallet platform blockchain.info by using phishing links, fraudulent domains, and brand spoofing.
"This campaign was unique in that adversaries leveraged Google Adwords to poison user search results in order to steal users' wallets," Cisco Talos says. "Since Cisco observed this technique, it has become increasingly common in the wild with attackers targeting many different crypto wallets and exchanges via malicious ads."
The fraudsters established "gateway" phishing links that appeared in search results when potential victims searched Google for cryptocurrency-related keywords, such as "blockchain" or "bitcoin wallet."
These links, bolstered by the purchase of Google AdWords, would then send victims to malicious domains, which would serve phishing content depending on the IP address and likely language of the visitor.
According to the team, the hackers are focusing on countries where access to traditional banking may be difficult, such as Estonia, Nigeria, Ghana, and a number of other African countries.
When access to banking is difficult, cryptocurrency, as decentralized assets recorded on the Blockchain, may empower users financially. However, it seems that the cybercriminals behind the campaign also know there may be more interest from residents of these countries, and so, this idea has decided the focus of phishing campaigns.
Cisco observed spikes in DNS queries upwards of 200,000 per hour when the fraudulent ads were on display. The campaign appears to be the largest phishing scheme targeting blockchain.info to date.
The security firm believes that the gang has been in operation since at least 2015 and has managed to steal tens of millions of dollars' worth of cryptocurrency.
Between September 2017 to December 2017 alone, the group stole approximately $10 million in cryptocurrency, and in one particular 3.5 week period, the hackers were able to steal $2 million.
It is estimated that the unknown threat actors may have netted over $50 million over the past three years and likely profited when the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed last year.
"While criminals were able to profit from this, it also adds a new level of complexity for criminals to convert their cryptocurrency funds to a fiat currency like US dollars," the researchers note. "The historic price of Bitcoin during the height of this campaign would have made it very difficult to move these ill-gotten finances easily."
It appears the threat actors are not resting on their laurels despite the huge amount of fraudulent revenue they have established. The hackers have begun to use wildcard SSL certificates issued by Cloudflare and Let's Encrypt to appear legitimate alongside brand spoofing and international domain names.
"We can expect to see more of these realistic looking phishes with Let's Encrypt releasing full wildcard certificate support at the end of this month," the team added. "Cisco will continue to monitor the landscape and coordinate with international law enforcement teams in 2018 to help protect users and organizations."

In general, women suffer from the same types of mental disorders as men. However, their course is often burdened with additional or specific manifestations due to stay in a certain natural for women and for men alien state. The fact that the woman in his life is going through some special periods characterized by increased levels of hormones in the blood, the body’s adaptation to the new conditions of existence, etc. These periods are only five: puberty, pregnancy, post-partum, perimenopause and menopause period. Each of them is itself manifest in different behavioral disorders, but also those periods are dangerous high-risk diseases of various kinds of mental disorders.
The most common symptoms of mental disorders in women during pregnancy are frequent changes of mood, amnesic syndrome (memory formed the so-called failures and the patient forgets some periods of life). Most pregnant women are completely inactive, grubby, they have increased sensitivity to external stimuli (sound, light, touch, smell).
Postnatal period is characterized by the appearance of depression, increased anxiety, various phobias. Also frequently observed mood swings.
Menopause for women, is probably the most difficult. Among the manifestations of mental disorders we see: insomnia or sleep disturbance (nightmares); chronic fatigue; depression; decreased concentration; apathy; memory disorders; suppression of libido (decreased sexual desire).

Will, by definition, speaks to an intended outcome. Was God aware of what was going to happen? For those of us who believe in the omniscience of the divine, the answer is, yes. Was that the way God intended her life to end? No. And I realize that even the concept of that is hard to swallow.
I think the preacher who said my cousin’s murder was the will of God was well intentioned. He was trying to deliver hope to a service full of hurting hearts. He was trying to help us wrap our minds around this awful thing that had happened. His aim was to help us hold on to the mystery and sovereignty of God that allows us to accept things we don’t understand. Unfortunately, his approach missed the true message of the gospel that was needed in that moment. It’s in the heart-wrenching moments of grief that we don’t need nebulous messages of God’s “out there-ness.” In those moments, we need to understand that God is near.
What would it mean for more of our churches to teach that having emotions like anger and deep sadness and frustration after a tragedy or loss is OK? That to demand justice is a righteous act?
Our hope should lie in the truth that, despite our pain, God will never abandon us (Hebrews 13:5). Emmanuel, God with us, has come and unlike the myriad of Old Testament demonstrations of war and violence and other horrors, we now have a savior who commands us to love and is intimately “acquainted with our grief” (Isaiah 53:3). The image of God sitting on the kitchen floor with me as I wailed upon finding out what had happened to Vickie, is more comforting and more in alignment with who I recognize Jesus to be in scripture.
It was the knowledge that God is love, the spiritual embodiment of empathy, that began my healing journey.
It was the knowledge that God is love, the spiritual embodiment of empathy, that began my healing journey. Not the idea that there was some grand purpose or even some greater good that was going to come from some hateful person exercising their free will.
The nature of free will is that we get to choose between a destiny of our own making and the one God has in mind for us. The side effect of free will is that sometimes those choices, especially the former, intersect with the everyday lives of others. If we want to understand why our nation and world looks the way it does, and why there is so much inaction from the church when it comes to so many of these issues, we can start with our belief that somehow these horrific tragedies are God’s will. They’re not. While God certainly has dibs on the supernatural, on the impossible, God has also equipped us to intervene and intercede.
God is just as grieved at the choices of humans as other humans are. God is grieved by the choices that we, or those who represent us, make to value the privilege of some over the lives and needs of others. None of these things are God’s perfect and precious vision for our reconciled lives. None of these things were the destiny of Eden.
The fact is that bad theology wrapped in good and loving intentions is still bad theology.
My belief that God is ever present in my sorrow sustains me when pain makes me want to rage to an extent beyond what is healthy or useful. It equips me to be a comfort to those in my community wrestling with their own grief—grief that’s been met with false teachings that leave them feeling hopeless and hollow. Grace holds us all together. It is grace that will create a world where maybe, just maybe, violence such as what family experienced will not survive.

Let’s say you want to change the world.
We are talking about a world that is large, complicated, seemingly chaotic and notoriously difficult to manage. Just ask God. God has a long and successful history as an organizing principle but lately the power of that principle seems to be waning. Recently one of God’s spokesmen, the Pope, declared that destabilizing the climate that God created and threatening the survival of God’s children is contrary to God’s will. Needless to say, God’s servants, particularly the rich and powerful ones, did not immediately change their ways.
But God works in mysterious ways. What if the Word that changes the world were to come from a different direction altogether? From you, for example?
You are not the Pope, but the game is changing.
Not so long ago my family and I lived on a slightly funky residential street near downtown Palo Alto, California. Directly across from our home was a low-rise cinder block office building that housed a small advertising agency.
It turned out that one of the projects that emerged from that building was a logo, a stylized apple with a bite out of it. That branding image was applied to a series of products that put new information and communication technologies into the hands of ordinary folks like you and me. Suddenly I am sitting in a hotel room in Portland, Oregon, with a device via which I can potentially touch billions of minds within the next few seconds. But what should I say? What is the Word?
Speaking of words, think about the track coach at our beloved duck university who, some years ago, noticed that his runners were flopping around in relatively heavy, flat-soled canvas and rubber sneakers. He put his waffle iron to work and devised a better shoe. One of his bright acolytes then decided that everyone, not just track stars, could stand to move around a bit more. He attached a phrase to the new footwear: “Just do it.” Millions did just that.
Flash forward to now. The climate of our planet is coming unglued before our eyes. The icy hats that have covered our northern and southern latitudes for millennia is melting in years. The boreal forest, normally frozen at this time of year, is burning. We need a miraculous change and we need it soon.
Send that message to Salem and to Washington. Send it to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and Oregon’s State Lands Commission. Send it to Paris and Beijing. Send it to Veresen Corporation, the Canadian pipeline moguls, and our own Koch brothers. You might change the world.

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has described Senate President Bukola Saraki as “the worst senate president Nigeria has had the misfortune of having”.
In a statement by Yekini Nabena, its acting national publicity secretary, APC said Saraki lacks what it takes to preside over the legislative chamber.
Nabena said since Saraki assumed the coveted position through the backdoor, he has been moving from one controversy to the other.
“In every democratic country, the position of the senate president is one of the highest political offices one can attain. It is a position reserved for the best of the best, experienced and exemplary politicians who by their character and conduct in public offices, the younger generation look up to as role models,” the statement read.
“In terms of exemplary personage, the reverse is the case in respect of the current Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki who has been a dismal failure and has been involved in one controversy or the other – budget padding, filibustering, legislative rascality, sabotage of matters of national interest, among other criminalities too numerous to mention.
“Having suffered under the 16-year misrule of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Saraki will go down in our country’s history as the worst Senate President Nigeria has had the misfortune to have.
Nabena accused Saraki of betraying his father and sister, calling on the senate to do all it could to replace him.
“One is of course not surprised as Dr. Saraki’s greed, selfishness, treachery, disregard for protocol and constituted authority is well-reported. In terms of treachery, Dr. Saraki’s public humiliation of his late father and sister comes readily to mind,” he said.
“A traitor will always be a traitor, however the time and place. The Senate must do everything possible to put Dr. Saraki where he rightly belongs – the back seat. He is definitely not a fit and proper person to preside over the country’s upper and revered legislative house.

YELL! group at candy shop: Rylie Fredrickson, Jodie Davy, Jordan Davy, Hannah Kruta, and Brooke Fredrickson.
On September 10, No. 219 (Strathcona, MN) held a bake sale and basket raffle at the Northland Threshing Bee. Members baked items beforehand and then spent eight hours selling with the proceeds benefiting the Sunshine Memorial Foundation in Grand Forks, ND.
They gave away two gift cards for youth. The YELL! group had a candy shop with proceeds going to the lodge.They drove tractors in the parade, pitched straw for the threshing machines, and worked in a blacksmith shop. A great afternoon full of history, learning, and fun!
The Sunshine Memorial Foundation, to which they gave, has a new home similar to the Ronald McDonald homes, where people can stay at reduced cost. The funds raised at the bake sale and raffle were then matched through Community Matching Funds provided by Western Fraternal Life.

On Monday January 7, 2019, Jay Cohen and David Daneshrad were summoned to attend Glendale University College of Law’s (“GUCL”) annual mock trial competition, held as part of a GUCL’s trial advocacy program, as mock jurors. The Honorable Judge Michael A. Knish, who is also the professor of the program, presided over People v. Kelmar – which was determined to become a marvelous showdown between young future attorneys. Both sides (2 students on each side) were well prepared and brought a great performance. The passion was felt right from the opening statements, through witness examination, and all the way until the closing statements. It was a close call! But, since the jury couldn’t turn in a unanimous verdict, Judge Knish – for purposes of the mock trial – found the defendant guilty, and the People won the case.
Regardless, this was a thrilling event. Back in the day, Judge Knish was the Professor for Jay Cohen and David Daneshrad, in both Contracts and Trial Advocacy. Thank you, Judge Knish, for guiding them so well. After the trial, Jay Cohen and David Daneshrad reminisced with Judge Michael A. Knish, Dean Greitzer, faculty and other former classmates, over the many funny, crazy and stressful moments of law school.
It was great! We’ll see you next year!

You need to remember that you and your baby are "LEARNING" the art of breastfeeding. You don't learn how to ride a bike overnight. And most first time moms compare their breastfeeding experience to all those images of moms sitting peacefully nursing their baby.

home_business:Getting Started In Home Business?
Some other ways of getting started in your own home business include on-line businesses such as a typing service, ghost writing for others, creating ad copy, dating services, credit counselling service, producing how-to DVD�s or videos on various topics, preparing resumes, etc. In reality, the options for getting started in your own home business are almost unlimited.
One of your first tasks in getting started in your own home business is to do some market research. Discover for yourself how many competitors you will come up against. Then take a look at how many potential clients would be willing to pay for your services. In other words, define your market and identify your potential clients and customers. After you check the pertinent data, discuss your plans with other knowledgeable people and get their ideas and suggestions.
Your next task will then be to develop a detailed business plan. The more details you write out the better - cover all your bases as to just how you'll do everything that should get done, and the time line for doing them. You want to make it as easy as possible to be successful.
Your business plan should show how much money, if any, you will have to invest, your plan for getting the word out that you're open for business, the exact procedures you plan to use, and how much time you will need to invest. Avoid "jumping in feet first" without first getting all the facts and figures together to avoid finding out that the time and costs involved are too much, which could lead to failure and disappointment. It will pay off in the long run to develop your plans and outline them in a written report prior to getting started in your own home business. Your chances of success will be greater if you know what to expect before launching your home business.
After you have identified your target market and know who your potential customers will be, how you're going to get your service to them and you've identified the time and money it will take to run your business, you're ready to put your plans into motion and get started with your own home business.
Remember you don't have to get everything right first time, so don't worry about making mistakes, learn from them, stay positive and stick to your plan!

Peppermint is one of nature’s most potent energy boosters and anti-depressants. It is great for sluggish circulation and sluggish energy, in general. Peppermint’s bright pungent aroma cuts through mental fog and fatigue like a knife.
Mentha Piperata, or peppermint is an easy herb to grow. In essential oil form, it is very easy to find and relatively inexpensive to buy. I highly recommend putting a bottle in your starter kit, if you are a beginning aromatherapist.
It is one of the first five essential oils I began experimenting with when I was first learning about aromatherapy. It is generally easy to work with and most people really enjoy it.
Made with fresh or dried herbs, peppermint iced tea is refreshing, revitalizing and crisp. Served hot or cold, peppermint tea is second to none for healing upset stomach and nausea.
Peppermint cools body temperature very effectively. A peppermint foot bath is an excellent cure for hot stinky feet, tired achy feet, or numbness. A peppermint scalp and ear massage cures hot heads, headaches, and irritability very well. A minty bath is just the thing for overheated bodies, body aches, sluggish circulation, melancholy, congestion or fatigue. Peppermint aromatherapy around the home will liven up a stale house and clear the mind.
For aromatherapy massage, choose peppermint to boost your immune system, detox and re-energize your body and mind. A peppermint massage can be very refreshing and revitalizing.
There can be “too much of a good thing” when it comes to using the essential oil of peppermint. It will cause tingling and burning if too much is used in the bathtub. Peppermint aromatherapy oils should not be used “neat” or straight without being diluted. Follow the instructions on your aromatherapy bottle for use in diffusers, massage oil, and soaks, or go with the guidance of an aromatherapist to avoid overdoing it.

Meet Alexander - Our Foothills Real Estate Specialist.
Alexander and his family have lived and do live in the Foothills, for years. He has built homes in the neighbourhood as well. He knows the area and the home market in this great Vernon BC neighbourhood.
In the latest series of new developments and construction, the Foothills has become a popular location. Many of the homes in the Foothills are newer - built the late 1990's and constantly right up to those under construction now.
The view from these properties is a big factor in their value. Many have views of 2 - 3 of the Lakes (Okanagan, Kalamalka and Swan) and full valley vistas.
There are some townhomes available in the Foothills, but for the most part the area is higher end homes on smaller, sloping lots.
In addition, many of the sales in the Foothills are building lots enabling custom homes to be built on them. There are building schemes in place and development timelines may also apply. If you are considering buying a lot to build on - we can help.
The Foothills neighbourhood is located at the northeastern edge of Vernon, off Silver Star Road. It is approximately 800 acres (323.6 hectares) in size. The neighbourhood is surrounded on all sides by Electoral Area C in the Regional District of North Okanagan, except for the portion of Silver Star Road between the neighbourhood and the rest of the city, which falls under City of Vernon jurisdiction.
The Foothills neighbourhood is characterized by hilly grasslands and forested areas held in ten large properties in the northern portion of the plan area, a growing residential neighbourhood in the southern portion, and a single large property identified as a neighbourhood centre across Silver Star Road at the very southern edge of the plan area.
The neighbourhood is known for its beautiful views of the city, the valley, the mountains and Kalamalka, Okanagan and Swan Lakes. Prior to residential development, the area was used primarily for ranching purposes. The Grey Canal wound along the western and southern edge of the neighbourhood, providing irrigation to agricultural lands downhill.
Hillside Residential and anAgricultural District are identified in the Official Community Plan.
Because much of the land in the neighbourhood plan area is sloped and contains several highly sensitive ecosystems, both the Hillside Guidelines and the Environmental Management Areas Strategy apply and will play a large role in directing future development in this area.

By completing a bone graft procedure, Dr. Kim is now able to restore bone function and growth, thereby halting the effects of poor denture care.
Some conditions or syndromes are characterized by missing portions of the teeth, facial bones, jaw or skull. Dr. Kim may be able to perform a bone graft procedure to restore bone function and growth where it may be absent.
This condition usually develops over several years and may result in insufficient bone from the placement of dental implants. Dr. Kim can perform a procedure called a “sinus lift” that can treat enlarged sinuses.

Moisture - The evil enemy of feminine intimate health.
One of the key mistakes many women make is not changing promptly out of their moist or damp clothing after exercising. I know we all get busy, but the moisture from sweat and your personal warmth are incubators for the growth of yeast and bacteria. Also, the sweat and moisture alone can cause a feeling of burning or itching, can irritate hair follicles (particularly after shaving) and cause redness.
Yeast and bacterial infections are usually the result of a vaginal imbalance. The presence of good bacteria helps keep the vaginal pH low (around 3.8-4.5) and prevents the growth of yeast and bad bacteria. Vaginal imbalance occurs when you lose the protection of the good bacteria.
Change out of clothing and shower immediately after your workout.
If you can't shower reasonably soon, bring unscented cleansing wipes or a washcloth to use with warm water. Dry well before getting dressed again.
If possible, wear clothing that is loose and provides good airflow and circulation, specifically cotton clothing.
If wearing tight workout clothes (cycling shorts with padding), wear them without underwear.
Make sure you take the time to wipe and dry well after urinating, even if you are just racing back to your workout.
Don't "over clean" when you shower. Your body is designed to naturally clean itself down there, too.
Avoid harsh bath and shower products with fragrance and color added. Products can oftentimes upset your vaginal balance of good, protective bacteria.
Change pads or tampons every few hours and after exercise. Pads include both menstrual as well as incontinence pads.
Use oral or topical probiotics (good bacteria) to help maintain vaginal balance with a healthy pH.
Use a protective anti-chafing cream if you get irritation from fabric rubbing against you.
Don't shave right before sweating or swimming, especially if you're prone to red bumps and irritation.
If you notice burning or irritation, try soaking a washcloth in cool water and using it as a compress.
If you have an inflamed hair follicle or gland in your intimate areas, try using a warm compress.
If you have a condition such as interstitial cystitis (a painful bladder syndrome), don't push yourself if you're feeling discomfort. Alter your routine based on your symptoms.
As I mentioned before, different kinds of exercise have their own particular challenges. Fortunately there are many good resources you can find online with tips to address your feminine issues (such as saddle adjustments for cycling).
The most important thing is that you're exercising. You may have to deal with pesky side-effects from time to time, but hopefully not with proper prevention. The cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, psychological, gynecologic and other numerous benefits are well worth it. Just remember not to forget about your intimate health. You need to breathe and stay balanced down there, too!

The New Jersey Investment Council, the body that sets investment policy for the state’s pension systems, unanimously voted to cut its strategic allocation for hedge funds from 12.5% to 6%, as well as to prioritize low-fee managers.
Union officials had been putting pressure on the Council to make such a move; but ultimately, the Council decided it couldn’t stomach the fees it was paying for a hedge fund portfolio that returned -3 percent last fiscal year.
The pension’s investments in hedge funds, which typically charge a 2 percent management fee and 20 percent of profits, lost about 3 percent this year through May. The entire pension fund has gained 1.6 percent in 2016.
As part of the plan, the state is targeting to pay only a 1 percent management fee and 10 percent of profits.
The state’s investment division has made almost $1 billion in redemption requests from hedge funds this year, including Brevan Howard Asset Management and Farallon Capital Management. The plan calls for withdrawing an additional $300 million from hedge funds and reducing the number of firms it invests in to below 25 by the end of 2016, according to the documents.
New Jersey will eliminate its exposure to long-short equity and event-driven hedge funds next year, the plan says, and reduce its allocation to credit and distressed debt hedge funds to 1 percent from 3.75. Its target allocation to market-neutral and global macro funds will remain at 5 percent.

Bank House was a large, rambling Edwardian building, set in four acres of overgrown gardens. From the approach road, a set of ancient wrought iron gates opened onto a gravel drive, leading to the front door of the double-fronted brick building.
Inside, four doors opened off the square hall – one leading into a large sitting room, comfortably furnished with chintz-covered sofas, on an expensive-looking Indian carpet. Across the hall, another door led into a dining room, dominated by a huge oval table, highly polished, with the capacity to seat at least twelve in comfort.
The third door led into an old fashioned kitchen with wooden plate racks over a huge Belfast sink with brass taps and fittings. A well-scrubbed wooden table filled the centre of the room.
Opposite the door to the kitchen, a wide staircase led to the upper floor and, tucked under the stairs was a fourth door, leading to a small room, used by the present owner as a study.
A large desk dominated the room, holding a computer with its hard drive standing on a shelf beneath it, a scanner and printer resting on other shelves at the opposite side of the desk.
The man who sat in front of this computer equipment, switched it on and waited for the desktop icons to appear. He drew out a narrow shelf holding the keyboard and used the mouse to click on one of the icons, and then he typed in a series of passwords before a file opened up on screen. He watched as images of children appeared one after the other at a touch of the mouse. Satisfied that he had viewed them all, he saved the file for future reference and opened his email programme.
He clicked ‘compose’ and a blank email form appeared. Then he typed in the recipient’s address, added ‘Latest files’ as the ‘subject’ and began to type a message.
Images received safely. Congratulations on the latest acquisition – she has potential. Carry on as agreed. Glad it all went according to plan. Take care; I still think we were wrong to choose a subject so close to us all. Exercise caution.
The man sent the message, unsigned, and then deleted his copy before emptying the Recycle Bin and closing down the computer. He left the study, closing and locking the door, before walking into the sitting room and switching on the television set in the corner, to watch the local news.
The BK117 helicopter continued to circle the skies above the valley, in the competent hands of its pilot, Ken Harris. In the seat next to him, WPC Betty Andrews, the AOU Observer, scoured the floor of the valley as they swooped low, rising only to avoid the tree-line.
They had been on patrol since first light and could see below them the groups of men – some of them off-duty policemen who had volunteered to come back on duty for this search; many of them parents, grandparents and farmhands, who were anxious to find this missing child.
Reaching the southern perimeter of the search area, Ken moved the joystick and the helicopter began another sweep.
They passed the school just below them and followed the lane as Betty imagined the little girl cycling eagerly towards her home.
Ken turned the stick slowly and the machine passed over the ground, its rotor blades disturbing the long grass.
The school uniform at St. Tudno’s comprised of grey trousers for the boys, grey skirts for the girls, with a yellow tee-shirt and a red fleece. Recently, each child had been provided with a plastic wallet to carry homework to and from school. The head teacher had tried several suppliers before she’d found one who could supply the wallets in the same bright yellow colour as the school uniform.
Liz and Mike were sitting in front of DI Mayhew’s temporary desk in the school hall.
He was interrupted by the telephone and they waited as Sergeant Turner answered it. His face lit up.
‘They’ve found her bike, Inspector,’ he announced, handing the phone to his boss.
‘Where?’ Frank Mayhew asked, as he walked towards the maps spread out in the centre of the room.
Liz and Mike watched as he traced the map with his finger before pausing at the crossroads where Katy would have turned left to continue her journey home.
Ending the call, DI Mayhew turned to his sergeant.
The Police Community Support Officers attached to the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary were a familiar sight in the village and surrounding countryside, in their high visibility jackets with light blue epaulettes and chequered hat bands. Their role, as their name suggested, was to provide support to the community. They regularly patrolled a large area of Truro and the surrounding villages, checking CCTV footage in the town and giving support and advice where needed.
As Mike parked the car behind the detectives’ vehicle, he could see that the PCS officer already had the area taped off to prevent corruption of the site.
Liz took several shots before zooming in on the bright yellow folder and what appeared to be the handlebars of a small bike. She turned as she heard the sound of an engine and a white van pulled up in front of them. The forensics’ team had arrived.
Part of the Scientific Support Unit, it would be their job to search the bicycle, the folder and the surroundings for trace evidence which would link the site to the missing girl. They would also look for evidence of someone, other than the child, who could have been in the vicinity and may be involved in her abduction.
‘She must have been taken from this spot,’ whispered Liz, carefully and discreetly taking more photographs.
Sergeant Turner walked across to them.
‘I’ll have to ask you to leave the area,’ he said, politely but firmly.
Sergeant Turner knew from experience that newspapermen like Mike Noble had their own networks of communication, enabling them to find information at the same time as, if not sooner than, the police.
Liz and Mike got back into the car and Mike turned it round and headed back to Sam McKendrick’s.

then you need to make a will. The law sets out particular rules about which family members are entitled to receive your property if you do not make a will, and these rules may not give the results that you expect. Making a will and directing how your property is distributed will avoid such problems.
Contact me, Stephen Gadd Solicitor and TEP at gilliangadd@btinternet.com or phone me on 01293 553434 to make an appointment. Normally I will send you a client will questionnaire to complete. We will then meet up at our Horsham or Crawley office, and a draft document will then be sent to you.
Stephen is one of only a few solicitors in the UK to hold the prestigious STEP Advanced Certificate in Will Preparation (Cert AWP accreditation) and has over 30 years’ experience in will writing, obtaining probate and estate administration.
Our standard fee for making a will is around £225 for a single will and £395 for a married couple. In addition, VAT at standard rate is chargeable on all our fees.
For a person who is worried about who will look after their affairs for them if they cannot do so by themselves or for family members who have a relative who is becoming infirm, I can prepare a Lasting Power of Attorney, which gives one or more people the power to deal with your financial affairs on your behalf, subject to whatever limitations or restrictions that you impose. I can also prepare a different Lasting Power of Attorney, by which you can appoint one or more people to make decisions for you about your health, care and welfare if you become unable to do this yourself.
Our standard fee for preparing and registering a Lasting power of Attorney is from £375 and £450 for 2 powers of attorney. In addition, VAT at standard rate is chargeable on all our fees.
Contact me, Stephen Gadd, on 01403 262520 or 01293 553434 or at gilliangadd@btinternet.com or at gillian@gilliangadd.com.
It can be confusing if you have been left to deal with the legal issues relating to the financial affairs of someone who has died. The process can be long and complicated, depending upon the nature of that person’s assets and where they are situated.

£150-250 Post in a Local Newspaper – This also helps to protect against unexpected claims.
On average, estates that fall within this range are dealt with within 3-12 months. Typically, obtaining the grant of probate takes 4-18 weeks. Collecting assets then follows, which can take between 2-12 weeks. Once this has been done, we can distribute the assets, which normally takes 2-12 weeks.
