Let us talk again of vocational astrology. I have discussed this before, offering some hopefully different advice. However, it may very well be that one is counseling a person who already knows what they should do, or have the aptitude for something with a variety of applications. There are many majors one could take in college, and many specializations. Take business for example. There is management, marketing, analytics, accounting, finance, fundraising, human resources, advertising…the list goes on. Sure, someone may be a good businessperson, but what kind? And, if they wish to start their own company, what kind? A person may have an aptitude for the visual arts, but what kind?
This is where dispositors come in. The dispositor is the planet ruling the sign that another planet is in. For example, if Mercury is in Pisces, the dispositor is Neptune. Where is that Neptune? It is in Capricorn in the 3rd house. Oh wow. This person may have an aptitude to write about dreamy, or connections seemingly coming out of the aether, in a concrete way to inform others. I bet this person would be inspired by reading books like Freakonomics or the secret to unlocking personal creativity. This person may be quiet good at writing structured things like poetry or even opera, if they have the musical aptitude.
The traditional signs of the vocation are the ruling sign on the midheaven, planets in the 10th house, their dispositors, as well as planets in the 6th house (work and labor) and the 2nd house (personal possessions/money/earned income). The sun will also have something to say.
Venus on the midheaven means someone who is a professional who deals with beauty or harmony. Take this as you will and explore the entire chart, because Venus doesn‘t automatically mean things like chocolate, lingerie, or fine art. It also means diplomacy, creation of pleasing structures (like architecture, which is a lot of engineering).
So, this person may be a diplomat or an artist, and you hit the nail on the head: this person wants to be an artist. So, what kind of artist?
The next step is to step away from the traditional career indicators and figure out what is most important to this person.
You must figure out what satisfies their soul. And, just like this song, what satisfies their soul is whatever they have a completely personal love affair with. A person may live it and express it all the time, even if the job they have now doesn‘t reflect that. Or, it may be a clandestine love affair that they indulge in when no one is around to judge them.
It may very well be that the person is also in a career sort of related to what they should be doing. It is not uncommon for people with a native Venus in Taurus to also be working in banking or personal finance or wealth management. They could also be working in agriculture, or dealing with real estate. This is fine if there are other indicators in the chart that suggest that they are happy doing this. However, if there are other indicators that the person would rather be an artist – including a heartfelt confession that this is what they want – then you want to help them figure out what to do.
We know what they love from the condition of Venus. But what makes them move, what makes them take interest in the world outside of their basic needs?
It is a mistake to jump right into a vocational reading without analyzing the chart as a whole. I repeat: do not attempt to delineate a career for someone without knowing who they are and knowing them enough to know their soul language. Never fret: this comes with practice, intuition, and a little bit of pixie dust. The reason for this is because we come to know a lot of what we should do for a living based on the feedback we get from other people. And the feedback we get from other people tend to come from the expression of the Ascendant and the Midheaven and how we take in information this way. However, we may not always get a chance to really express our Sun or Moon, or really find places where we are accepted for who we are. We often live double lives: there is the one that is acceptable and proper, and there is the one inside that is like a never-ending fire. As we age, we hopefully get closer to merging these so that the fire warms not just us, but the people around us. That is our vocation, our soul purpose.
No one is a job. Everyone is a soul.
The Sun wants to live a certain life. Say this person has the Sun in Aries in the 1st house. Eek! This is definite look-at-me-Mommy-watch-me-dive placement. This person will be about self-promotion and selling themselves. Whatever this person does, they must bodily inhabit it.
Now, look at the moon. The moon for this person is in the 7th house. Oh…relationships. The one-on-one stuff. This person is best either in a duo or working with a partner. But, they still want to be number one. And yes, there is a possible opposition here. This person needs to stand out but work in concert. While they have an ego need to go their own way, they have a deep emotional need to connect. A person like this, with this opposition, needs to move far from home to be appreciated. They may be a loner until they begin anew. This may very well mean personal reinvention. They may struggle to be close to others their entire life, but they also have an instinct for giving people what they need to be content.
Now, look at the rest of the chart. Who is this person? What are they good at? What are they not so good at? What do they like to do for fun? What do they like to eat? Do they like school? Do they like to travel? Are they conservative or liberal? Do they have any physical limitations or blessings?
So say we know this person. Say we figure out that on top of this opposition, this person is really good at figuring out how to utilize people, likes to travel, is terrible with money, and tends to cover up their shyness with bravado. Now, let us think of some artists this person could be.
This could be someone who likes dance, acting, stand-up comedy, the art of clowning (which IS an art. I almost went to clown college. Seriously. Now, I‘m in law school, which is not too far off the mark. Maybe I should have gone to clown college instead. Maybe I‘ll ask Santa for classes this Christmas). They may like to work with people, and this could mean a partner or audience participation. They may actually be completely happy as a street mime.
Would you be shocked to hear yourself tell someone to be a clown or a street mime? Okay, well then, what else could this person do?
The secret to figuring out the what kind of (blank) a person wants to be or should be, or already is but waiting for a chance is to figure out who they are.

This first phase allows our manufacturing company to achieve its greatest potential in efficiency, accuracy, and competitive advantage. We believe in the socioeconomic importance of keeping traditionally oversea's jobs local to the United States, and robotic automation will accomplish that in our industry.
This second phase is vital to our vision as robots working alongside and collaborating with humans is a requirement to compete in the global market . We will provide proper training to our team regarding robotic programming, maintenance, and interaction.
In this third phase, we aim to correct the public's fear of automation and help provide an accurate representation of robotic-integration in the industrial space. With the costs of living peaking in the United States (relative to global low-cost regions), U.S. companies can't afford to compete head-to-head on labor rates with international corporations. Therefore, robotic automation is crucial in order to re-shore tens-of-thousands of manufacturing jobs back to U.S. citizens.

The Appleton Road store will open at 9 a.m. Friday.
MENASHA — Goodwill NCW's store at 1800 Appleton Road will reopen at 9 a.m. Friday.
The store had been closed for three months for renovations that coincided with road construction work on roundabouts and highway entrance ramps next to its building at Appleton Road and State 441.
That road project is also complete and open.
Inside the Goodwill store, renovations include an improved checkout system, brighter dressing rooms and restrooms, new signage and a repaved parking lot.
The redesigned retail floor is smaller and, according to a Goodwill release, easier to navigate.
"We're excited to open our doors and show our new branding philosophy to the community," said Bob Pedersen, Goodwill NCW's president and CEO.
"Over the years, we've often heard that our customers don't always know how their purchases affect their neighbors, family and friends. So, we've worked hard to make that connection more apparent and more important in our stores."
The store's ceremonial grand re-opening and ribbon-cutting take place at 8:45 a.m. July 28. The store will have prize giveaways later that day.
Pedersen said revenues from Goodwill's 25 stores in north central Wisconsin go toward the organization's human services and programs that assisted about 68,600 people in the state in 2014.

Piech (left) with his cousin Wolfgang Porsche.
FRANKFURT -- Former Volkswagen Chairman Ferdinand Piech is set to lose his board seat at Porsche SE, in which the Porsche and Piech families have pooled their holding in VW, a German paper reported.
Porsche SE's shareholders will vote on the future composition of the holding company's supervisory board at the annual meeting on May 30. A final list of candidates has to be decided on by mid-April.
While Wolfgang Porsche and Ferdinand Piech's brother Hans Michel Piech are on the list of candidates, Ferdinand Piech is not, Bild am Sonntag reported, citing a person close to the matter.
A spokesman for Porsche SE, which holds 52 percent of Volkswagen's voting rights, said that the future composition of the board has not yet been decided.
Ferdinand Piech was not immediately available. He resigned as Volkswagen chairman after a showdown with former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn in April 2015.
Last month, Volkswagen signaled it could take legal action against Piech after a media report said he had informed top directors about potential cheating of diesel emission tests six months before the scandal became public.

As fashion’s favorite member of One Direction—sorry Louis!—Harry Styles is known for his junior rock star swagger and an abiding love of trends like floral suits, skinny jeans, and tousled hair. But at last night’s issue launch for Another Man, Styles debuted a whole new look; stepping out in a Dior Homme suit, white shirt, and loosely knotted scarf, Styles looked less like the world’s foremost teen heartthrob, and more like, well, a fully grown heartthrob.
Tailored suiting has always been one of the staples within Styles’s closet, but the combination of his newly shorn hair with the understated suit and black velour boots gave the star an added sophistication.” The shift toward a pared-down look may have something to do with Styles’s current career change: Styles is pursuing an acting career, with a plum role in Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming World War II drama, Dunkirk. Ditching the florals and bright colors—even if only temporarily—helps to showcase another side of his persona, one that lets his talent do the talking. With several months left until Dunkirk’s summer 2017 release date, Styles could still choose to revert to one of his over-the-top ensembles, but when you make simplicity look this good, it’s better to save the drama for the big screen.

If Nike Kills The FuelBand, Is An iWatch Partnership With Apple Imminent?
Nike is reportedly laying off its FuelBand team to focus on fitness software, instead.
You might want to think twice about purchasing a new Nike FuelBand. Over the weekend, CNET reported that Nike has decided to stop production of the fitness bracelet, which included a slimmer version planned for the fall. Of the company’s 70 FuelBand employees, 55 were reportedly let go.
As a fast-paced, global business we continually align resources with business priorities. As our Digital Sport priorities evolve, we expect to make changes within the team, and there will be a small number of layoffs. We do not comment on individual employment matters.
Apple and Nike are intrinsically tied. Apple CEO Tim Cook has been on Nike’s board of directors for almost a decade now, and that strategic partnership has manifested in some curious ways, like Nike’s decision to make the FuelBand incompatible with Google’s Android.
Several concept artists have based their iWatch renderings on Nike’s trim designs. As Fast Company previously reported, Apple is beefing up its wearables team to focus on health tracking, poaching little-known sleep experts specializing in sensors. But Apple’s most telling hire may have occurred last September, when Apple nabbed designer Ben Shaffer.
Shaffer’s last employer, of course, was Nike. Though Shaffer was not involved on the FuelBand project itself, he led Nike’s “Innovation Kitchen,” which specialized in exploring new construction technologies like the Flyknit.
At this point, an Apple-Nike iWatch is mostly speculation, and such a magical device by two of the world’s most innovative companies may never come to fruition. But I’d be surprised if there was nothing there.

A church is likely to have to find a new home after a government agency has warned its congregation could be at risk of death.
Reading Family Church initially won planning permission to convert the old Ultima office building in Basingstoke Road in Whitley but the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has intervened over safety fears.
The plan is due to go back to Reading Borough Council's planning committee on Wednesday, December 5, with a recommendation to refuse it based on advice from the HSE over the church's proximity to flammable materials at the neighbouring Gillette UK headquarters.
The HSE raised fears that a disaster could see tanks explode and kill those inside the church.
Stuart Reston, HSE's principal specialist inspector, said: "Should a major accident occur, the fire and/or explosion would most likely lead to occupants of the proposed Reading Family Church being killed."
The original plan was approved by the planning committee on Wednesday, September 5, despite the HSE's initial objections.
Unconvinced that planning committee members "fully understood the seriousness of HSE's advice" and the risks from a major accident at the neighbouring site, the HSE reiterated its concerns and called in the application.
The HSE is due to attend the planning meeting.
Mr Reston said: "This is an exceptional course of action for HSE. It is extremely rare for HSE to attend planning committees to explain our advice."
The agency has only requested calling in applications on seven occasions in the last 35 years, out of around 105,000 planning applications consulted on in that time across Great Britain.
If the committee approves the plans for a second time, the HSE has stated it would call in the Secretary of State of Housing, Communities and Local Government to conduct an investigation.
The Gillette site is subject to the Controls of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 2015 due to its five large LPG tanks, a road tanker off-loading area, a bulk ethanol tank, and finished aerosol products.
The office building is within the HSE's most hazardous 'inner zone' - anyone in the church would be killed in the event of a worst-case scenario fire and subsequent thermal radiation.
Gillette owners Procter & Gamble previously raised fears about the plans but agreed that controls to external activities at the church site would deal with its concerns.
If the plan is refused, Reading Family Church will be forced to look for another permanent home, scuppering the congregation's multi-million pound plan to buy the building in Reading, Berkshire.
The church currently has three meetings on a Sunday, with 9am and 11am sessions at Reading Girls School and a 6pm meeting at South Street Arts Centre.
The HSE is an independent body that works on behalf of the government.
It aims to keep "inappropriate developments" away from major hazard sites and major accident hazard pipelines to reduce the risk or consequences of a major accident.
Mr Reston suggested the agency would probably not advise against a lowly populated manufacturing workplace that already puts its workers at risks from its general work activity.
The council is due to consider the plan at a meeting on Wednesday, December 5 at 6.30pm.

A personal quest to place myself in the U.K., my adopted country. Over half of my adult life the reality of living as an immigrant has evolved from an idealized view of the country, to a longing for belonging.
Community and the resurgence of co-operative living in contemporary Britain seem directly related to this notion of belonging. Factors like the housing crisis, an increasingly diverse population and digital isolation are generating a renewed interest in finding a sense of community.
I am most interested in photographing the space where the negotiation between an ideal and daily life happens.

The Iowa Hawkeye baseball team is 6-0 in the Big Ten for the first time. The Hawkeyes had nine hits and used a strong outing from starting pitcher Calvin Mathews to complete a three game sweep of Purdue on the road with a 4-1 victory.
“We did exactly what we needed to do if we are going to stay and make a run in the race It was a great Sunday win, one of those games that early on it didn’t seem like we were going to have much luck,” Iowa coach Rick Heller says. The Hawkeyes won despite struggling to string hits together. Heller says they were hitting line drives at people early on, but they stuck with it and scratched out some runs.
The Hawkeyes return to action Wednesday night at home against Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Very unexpected indeed. I wonder what he was having surgery for.
He was a great actor. Had some of the best lines from Aliens.
My gut just hurts now.
Childhood hero and the character I model my FPS gaming on.
I quote his lines daily.
This is so much devastating, he was only 61! Back on 30 year Aliens anniversary he's been in a good shape and so enthusiastic, I enjoyed one of the most recent his performances in Edge of tomorrow. There was still so much in store for his acting career!
Just cannot believe it happened so all of a sudden, it's sad and unfair... R.I.P.
Really sad to hear... Like Henriksen, the guy's left behind a huge volume of work, both serious and comedic. It's difficult to imagine many other actors making a character like Hudson work.
A friend of mine observed, "He finally got out of that chickenshit outfit. "
I like to think Bill would've laughed at that.

When you become a parent, you know that you accept to be responsible for a life, until this life is old enough to look after itself. Needless to say, if your home was a place of hazards before you had a child, things could change dramatically from the moment the magical words appear on the pregnancy test. There are, naturally, plenty of parental duties that are new and that you must learn, starting with changing nappies – and let’s be clear on that one; you are going to have a few accidents before your master this skill – to understanding the needs of your baby – crying being their only form of communication, it’s expected you may not get them immediately. But one factor remains constant in your parenting life, and this is SAFETY. Indeed, you want the very best for your child. Consequently, you want to ensure that they can go through life without having to worry about health hazards, debilitating illnesses or even predators in the outside world.
The safety of your future baby starts with your own during the pregnancy. Indeed, what you eat and how you approach this period of your life affects your unborn child. As a result, it’s not uncommon for people who had unhealthy habits to put them on hold during the pregnancy, such as smoking for instance. However, aside from developing healthy habits and eating the right kind of food, a future mommy although needs to look after her mental health. Indeed, pregnancy is a hormonal roller coaster, and as a result, it can affect your mood dramatically. You need to ensure that you are surrounded by supportive relatives and friends while you’re going through this difficult period. Indeed, there is such a thing as prenatal depression which can be difficult to cope with.
Among the healthy habits mentioned above, what you can and can’t eat during your pregnancy is one of the biggest topics of discussion for women. Ultimately, there are plenty of potentially risky foods that you should avoid for the sake of your fetus. For a start, it is important to understand that when you’re pregnant, you don’t need to eat for two. This can result in carrying excessive weight, which will generate possible birth and pregnancy complications. In fact, you only need to up your diet by 300 to 500 calories per day during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. You need nutritious food to support the growth of your baby. This includes dairy products, legumes, sweet potatoes, salmon, eggs, dark leafy greens, lean meat, fish liver oil, berries, whole grains, avocados, dried fruits, and of course plenty of water. As a rule of the thumb, you should drink 1.5L more when you’re pregnant.
Giving birth is a life-changing moment. But for first-time mothers, it is a scary time. But there are things you can do to make sure that the delivery goes as ‘smoothly’ as possible. First of all, you need to keep your body fit with gentle exercises throughout the pregnancy, as going into labor is hard work. It is useful to do your research ahead of the big day so that you know the pros and cons of every delivery method and the relevant pain relief tips. This can help you to feel more in control. A positive mindset can make a great deal of difference to go through the labor calmly.
Once your baby is born, you reach the next step of safety, which consists in preparing your home with a handful of childproofing tips. Indeed, babies grow up very quickly, and soon you’ll have an energetic toddler exploring the home. It’s essential that you remove all potential risk from your household. Any edible or drinkable product and medicine should be kept away. It’s also a good idea to set the max temperature of your water heater to 120°F so that your child doesn’t accidentally get burned while playing with the faucets. And finally, you shouldn’t leave any accessible window without a window guard.
Last, but not least, you also need to take into account the risks of the outside world. As a result, more and more parents are refraining from posting pictures of their children on social media. Indeed, your post could be misused and repurposed to bully your children when they get to school age. Additionally, a cute photo of your toddler might impact on their future: Nothing disappears from the Internet.
Keeping your child safe is a long-term dedication for all parents. It starts from the days you discover you’re pregnant and evolves throughout the life of your child. Safety first is all that matters, safe from unwanted birth conditions, safe from house hazards and safe from external predators.

Home Deployment Guides Installation PowerShell SharePoint 2016 How to Create SharePoint 2016 Farm using PowerShell?
How to Create SharePoint 2016 Farm using PowerShell?
Creating SharePoint 2016 farm using PowerShell is almost as same as in its previous version. In SharePoint 2016 there is an additional parameter -LocalServerRole added as SharePoint 2016 introduced MinRoles.
SQL Server is already installed and ready to use.
You have created a Farm account for SharePoint 2016.
You have logged in to the server (Setup account) which has Administrator access on all SharePoint servers and DB_Creator, Security_Admin Server roles in SQL Server.
Step 1: Install SharePoint 2016 prerequisites and binaries to each server in your proposed SharePoint 2016 farm.
On completing the installation, Uncheck "Run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard now" and close the wizard.
"The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered." error for the first time, which is quite normal, since we have not created the Farm yet! proceed running the script.
Write-Host "Creating Configuration Database and Central Admin Content Database..."
Write-Host "Installing Farm Services ..."
Write-Host "SharePoint 2016 Farm Created Successfully!"
Once the script completed successfully, You'll see farm created successfully message. Here I've used "SingleServer" as MinRole. You can adjust it based on your requirement.
Alternatively, You can create SharePoint Farm (Run script til line#15) and then Run Products configuration wizard to complete the rest of the steps in farm creation.
Once you are done with the creation of the SharePoint 2016 farm from first server, You can connect rest of the servers to the Farm either using SharePoint products configuration wizard or with PowerShell.
Open SharePoint products configuration wizard and choose "Connect to an existing server farm" and run through the wizard! Select the server MinRole as per your topology.
If you prefer PowerShell way to add an additional server to the farm, use this PowerShell script.
Write-Host "Joined the Server to Farm Successfully!"
If you don't want the server to host Distributed cache, use the parameter: -SkipRegisterAsDistributedCacheHost and the end!
Thank you so much for sharing this script. Its pretty clean and neat, I'm able to pickup although I'm new to SharePoint. Kudos.
I ran the script and get cannot bind parameter 'passphrase' cannot convert the value of type system.string to type system secure string? the under Get-farm a positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument if?
Use $Passphrase instead of "$SecurePassphrase"
Disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security and Add a Full control Policy to your SP_Admin Account!

i temrinated a PCP agreement on 21st May 2018. This was acknowledged and I received a response from Barclays on 1st June 2018 advising that I owed £0, but they had sent a pre written termination agreement on the overleaf which basically manipulated my legal rights as a consumer. Therefore, I obviously didn’t sign it.
My temrination letter advised that I was ending the agreement and it gave them the address and 14 days to collect the car.
Without getting too personal, I had some pregnancy issues and remained in hospital for quite a significant amount of time, to which my son was born and he then stayed in hospital due to ill health, therefore it wasn’t really a priority of mine.
Therefore, this has literally been the last thing on my mind. However, I received a letter the other day from DWF solicitors who advised that I had failed to rectify a breach (tax and insurance) on the vehicle and that Barclays had ended the agreement on 11th December 2018 and that they were advising signed the paper work to have the car repossessed.
Ive responded, advising that I have fulfilled my legal obligations (they outlined these themselves their response letter that I was obliged to pay 50% of the total amount payable) and that I was unhappy with the marker on my credit file, further advising them that this was a breach of principle D of the GDPR regulations, as the information was inaccurate. I’ve advised that they come and collect the car still and I’m holding my stance with them, but I just wondered if I was in my rights to do this?
I have made quite clear on numerous occasions to yourselves that the vehicle is available for collection. I have provided you with all the details you need to be able to do this.
I am finding it difficult to understand the relevance of your question. I have given you an opportunity to offer a settlement in my previous correspondence, due to the evidenced concern that your client has committed a repudiatory breach and again you appear to have disregarded the situation and the seriousness of this has been seemingly been ignored. There are also two separate breaches of GDPR which I have raised with yourselves, however I fail to remember a satisfactory response.
I am unable to emotionally continue in this dispute with yourselves and my next step will be to issue legal proceedings without any further formal warning, I feel there has been enough opportunity to settle this outside the legal arena, however for reasons unknown to me, your client has failed to act on these opportunities.
i sent end this email 26/03 and I’ve still not have any response yet, Rob!
i have just ignored it ‘calling their bluff’.
So did you respond to the initial request for confirmation or have you ignored them?
I refer to my email below.
Could you please let me have your response.
I havent responded to them, shall I just wait until they’ve sent something a little more substantial or does it make me look bad ignoring them?
Thanks Rob, I will put something together in the morning and post my response.
The only way to settle that now is through a third party as I’ve filed for a non molestation order which will be heard next week. We’re shifting over to different law now however it’s not even deemed safe for me to contact them anymore.
You can probably imagine the state of the situation I’m in and what it’s costing, the very last thing I want to be doing is settling this as well so I will literally let it go down to the wire if. There’s nothing stopping them collecting the car still, the person who has it has also said ‘the only people collecting it are Barclays’ to them and myself.
We seem to be out the 14 day time scale for the second time now!
You could make an attempt to skirt around the question given the current situation and respond by saying something along the lines of, you fail to see the relevance of the question you are asking. As per your previous correspondence, the issue is that their client has committed a repudiatory breach and, despite inviting them to make an offer of settlement, they appear to have disregarded the position.
You could make a further request and if not substantive response is forthcoming then your next step will be to consider the commencement of legal proceedings against their client for repudiatory breach without further notice to them.
Of course you need to be careful how you approach it because you will need to decide how far you want to take this. You've reserved your position on commencing legal proceedings, so if you don't follow through with it then they may not take you that seriously. Alternatively you could simply keep avoiding further correspondence and call their bluff as to whether they will issue proceedings against you and take it from there.
Ultimately, you still need to resolve the car issue if you can.
I am writing with reference to your letter received with the above identification number and my response to that letter is set out below.
In short, your client’s claim for breach of contract is denied in its entirety. It is accepted that I entered into an agreement with your client but it was not a conditional sale agreement as wrong alleged again, rather it was a personal contract purchase agreement.
Turning to the issue of the default notice that your client supposedly issued on 15 October 2018, advising that the account had gone in arrears, this was never received and I therefore ask that you provide a copy of that default notice. In any event, your client’s default notice was ineffective and, for the reasons below, your client also did not terminate the agreement on 11 December 2018.
I also require a detailed account from yourselves describing what these arrears allegedly are and how you believe they have occurred.
I will explain that I was situated in the Leicester Royal Hospital for many weeks throughout September until the end of October, however on my return home, this apparent breach was not received. I have no reason to believe this letter would not have been at my home address on my return.
On 21/05/2018 I wrote to your client exercising my right to terminate the agreement pursuant to Section 99 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (the “Act”). The contents of the letter stated that the agreement was to be terminated effective immediately and required your client to collect the vehicle within 14 days from the date of the letter, from the address provided.
Accordingly, upon termination of the agreement in accordance with Section 99 of the Act, my liability under Section 100(1) is limited to one half of the total price payable only. Furthermore, Section 173 of the Act confirms that any contractual term which is inconsistent with the provisions of any rights or remedies under the Act shall be deemed void and unenforceable.
On 01/06/2018 an acknowledgment of my letter was sent by your client confirming that I had paid one half of the total price and there was zero balance to pay. In the circumstances, your client cannot deny that it received my termination letter nor could it have terminated the agreement on 11 December 2018 as it was already terminated some months earlier.
With regard to the vehicle being in my possession, your client has taken no steps to contact me to make arrangements for the collection of it which is why the payments for the vehicle were stopped. Any obligation to continue paying were discharged when the agreement was terminated on 21/05/2018. The vehicle continues to remain in my possession and your client is free to contact me to make arrangements for a suitable date and time to collect it. If I do not hear from your client by 19/03/2019 , I will consider issuing a notice of intention to sell the vehicle pursuant to Section 12 of the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977.
For the reasons already mentioned, it is my view that your client’s claim is at best hopeless and there is no merit whatsoever. Therefore, if your client insists on pursuing me, I will have no choice but to counterclaim for malicious prosecution of civil proceedings together with harassment. I will also consider, if appropriate, to make an application for summary judgment and seek all costs incidental to any application or counterclaim.
I am considering damages in reference to this dispute. The impact of the persistent harassment from your client has led to increased and unnecessary stress, following what has already been a personally traumatic 9 months. The contractual termination is somewhat simple and I am struggling to understand why your client is reluctant to accept this.
My claim would be in reference to the loss of bargain and any further pursuit from your client will result in me requesting transfer of ownership of this vehicle or the option to purchase the price in lieu, the latter would have been optional if this contract had been properly performed. I am within my legal rights to pursue this as your client has actually committed a repudiatory breach.
It is concerning that you have failed to give a legally binding reason for why the termination of this contract was not accepted and my assumption is that this is because you are not in a legal position to be able to refuse the termination. My right to terminate this agreement under section 99 of the Consumer Credit Act is a unilateral one. I disagree that I was legally liable to sign the manipulative termination letter sent by your client, when I had in fact sent a completely acceptable termination letter myself. I therefore request you explain this decision with reference to the relevant legal frameworks, as any contractual obligations were void as from 21/05/2018.
The information needed to retrieve the vehicle was clearly provided in my termination letter, dated 21/05/2018. I am completely flabbergasted that your client has made no further attempts to contact myself to collect their vehicle, nor have they understood the consequences of this repudiatory breach by wrongful termination. I should not be in such a position and I will raise this concern in a legal arena.
I should also make you aware that I am further concerned that your client has placed an adverse marker on my credit file, as evidenced via Experian, in connection with this dispute. This is clearly a breach of the General Data Protection Regulation as the adverse marker is both inaccurate and misleading. I am therefore considering taking further action against your client for compensation unless it immediately removes this adverse marker within the next 7 days. You have previously advised that I take up this concern with your client personally, however you have advised me that all correspondence is to go through yourself. For the avoidance of doubt in the legal arena, I request that you raise this concern as a matter of urgency with your client and respond to myself accordingly.
In summary, your client has, quite frankly, conducted itself in an aggressive and appalling manner. I reiterate my point that your client has committed a repudiatory breach. I am accepting this breach and understand that my obligations and liabilities under this agreement are now extinguished as a result.
I have made a formal complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service as well as the Financial Conduct Authority in respect of a number of breaches of rules under the Consumer Credit Sourcebook.
I trust this clarifies my position and I look forward to hearing from you in due course confirming that your client has decided to not pursue this groundless claim.
I will post up the reply in a second, it was basically what you have written the first time however I tweeked it to include what you had advised.
I haven’t replied to that one, no, not quite sure how to go ahead with it.
Ive submitted the request yes, may have those returned today actually.
So what exactly did you say to them since my last post #38?
Have you responded to that email?
Have you sent a subject access request to Barclays?
I didnt reply to that one - they’ve just sent me this.
Further to my email below, can you confirm for the record that you are still in control and possession of the vehicle?
So what did you say to them?
Have they switched lawyers (internally)?
Perhaps they may be taking you more seriously.
I now have conduct of this matter. I am taking my clients instructions and will come back to you as soon as possible.
This is their response in full.
You would be wise to submit a subject access request to Barclays and ask for all information they hold on you including account notes, account summary and letters or notices sent out to you. This seems to be an underhand tactic by Barclays which for some reason I have no idea why - I would be amazed if this was run past their legal team and approved because they must surely know they are on to a loser. I suspect its likely to come from some debt collection manager who thinks that using a firm of solicitors might frighten you into paying up, which could in fact backfire and result in them walking with their tail between their legs.
If it were me, I would be thinking carefully what you are going to say next and I wouldn't rush into responding back to them in a hasty fashion because, get it wrong, you could still be held liable for the car. Your ideal situation is to extinguish all liabilities under the agreement and put you in pole position, assuming that's what you want to do.
DWF have referred to arrears but have failed to actually describe what these arrears are, so that's the first thing you would want to know along with a copy of that default notice. Barclays used to (and possibly continue to) run the argument that you should still be required to make the monthly instalments until the vehicle was collected and if that is what they are relying on, I think it's a very very poor one.
You are right, you gave notice to terminate the agreement some 5 months earlier, you received a notice confirming receipt and an outline that it was reasonable to assume that Barclays had accepted your notice of termination. It seems, however, that they have rejected your statutory right to terminate albeit without any justifiable reason and instead, have sought to terminate the agreement themselves based on alleged arrears.
If I was in the position you were in, I would be thinking of replying along the same lines as what was already responded to, together with an explanation of the arrears with a breakdown, and a copy of the default notice. If you are serious about defending yourself on this, you should consider re-iterating the fact that the right to terminate under Section 99 of the CCA is a unilateral one and Barclays had no right reject it without any lawful basis. It might assist for you to explain that you were in hospital in October last year and upon your return no default notice was received in your pile of post. I would likely repeat the above that, by implication, Barclays have committed a repudiatory breach and you are accepting that breach which extinguishes your obligations liabilities under the agreement.
You could further suggest that you are now considering damages which includes loss of bargain and invite DWF to make an offer of settlement. Further pursuit of the matter by Barclays will result in a counterclaim for the transfer of ownership of the vehicle or the option to purchase price in lieu, either of which would have been the position had the contract been properly performed.
I guess now, the question is whether you want to pay up still which would be considered an admission of liability, or defend it and see what DWF's response is going to be; call their bluff and see what happens. Your alternative argument to repudiatory breach is that the agreement nevertheless terminated in May, not October so there is no cause of action for breach of contract.
Nope, the default notice I’ve got I had to ask them to post out ‘again’. They’re claiming they sent that in October. Like I say, I was in hospital for the whole of October with a poorly baby, however my house was unoccupied so I can’t see why I wouldn’t have seen that letter when I returned. It’s not like I opened anything that would have been more important than a letter as such either. That letter also says Id breached contract by failing to tax and MOT, not that I’d allowed the account go into arrears.
Its all a massive mess - I don’t know what they’re trying to do. I terminated this agreement in May 2018, why would they be claiming that 5 months after sending me a letter advising I owed £0?
I will I’ll email them again, advising them I don’t accept what they’re saying. To be honest, they don’t seem to know what they’re doing?!

Following on from the last blog post, you almost certainly discovered an enormous pile of potential sellers from your garrison Salvage Crates, and from picking up loot in the world and in dungeons as you level your alt/s.
The first step to the proper Care and Feeding of your greenies, is to select an alt with big bags to look after them all. Get into the habit of mailing your greenies to this character. Collect them all together so they can be dealt with.
Here, they can be put on the Auction House nice and carefully, one at a time, or you can do what I do which is use TSM to post them all.
Then under the Items sub tab, left click once on each of the greenies to highlight the item and then click Add >>> to add them to the group.
Every time you send your ‘greenies’ to your greenies auction character, you can do this to fill up your greenies group / list of items. As you can see, my ‘greenies’ list also includes some greys that I wanted to put on the AH instead of simply vendor.
Then create an Operation, which is simply an action to be applied to the group. The action/operation we want is Auctioning.
Give the new Operation a name. You can call it Big Dog Balls for all I care, as long as you can identify it as “the operation that sells all the trash to the AH”.
Apply the operation to the group “greenies”.
Go to the Post sub tab.
I’m not too bothered by what percentage of the market price the item eventually sells at, because I already checked that it was over the Vendor price. If you’re worried about spending too much on the deposit you can add +deposit to the settings.
Some other options for your pricing can be found at TSM website, for example you might want to choose DBGlobalSaleAvg instead.
These settings have now CHANGED. See below!!
Note: it’s considered impolite to ask other players for their TSM auctioning post settings, please only take them when they’re offered freely like here.
On the next page, the page should fill with the ‘greenies’ in your bags that are ready to be sold. If not, go back and check the previous steps.
If you have already set your mouse scroll wheel to post to AH super quick, go ahead and do that now. Otherwise, click Post button for each item, post them all, and then go learn how to bind your selling button to your mouse wheel.
You now have a way to quickly get your greenie items up on AH instead of having to vendor them, and they should bring you in a few thousand gold every day. These can sit on the AH for 48 hours happily waiting to be bought, while you get on with the business of making the big gold on your main.
This is a very lazy way of making gold, because it depends on letting other people (ie the ‘DBMarket’) setting the value of the item for you. I wouldn’t use this method for big price items, for mogging, or for crafted items. However it is perfect for getting rid of greens that you would otherwise vendor.
Let me know how much gold you make?

You make awesome music, but are you using Internet Marketing to Promote your Music online?
The music you create is a piece of art.
And yes, it needs to be presented that way.
The cool thing is that you can present it any way you want.
One way to promote your music online is by viewing it from a different angle.
The way you can approach it from a “business perspective” is by using these five simple steps.
Get your pen and paper, and write along. Or just read and implement the strategies right away, whatever suits you best.
Step 1: Build an awesome website.
You may already have it, or not.
Whatever the case, if you have/create a website, it should promote your music with a small business flavor.
If you imagine your music as a product, you want your customers (fans) to buy your product (listen/buy your music).
My advice would be to use WordPress, which is a great all in one solution to get a professional website. It has all the bells and whistles you need.
To easiest and most reliable way to get a professional WordPress site is by using Siteground.
They are a great hosting provider and provide you with a single click WordPress install to start in a flash.
At this moment they have a great deal that you don’t want to miss. (yes, I host there too, they are super awesome!).
The more your website represents you as a professional musician, the more you serve your fans with what they look for. That is why you need to have all the right call to actions and information in place.
Call to actions on your webpage could be listening to snippets of your music, watching some music videos, reading some excellent music-related stories and subscribing to your mailing list to get the latest updates.
What would you say if I told you that you could send your new album right into the inbox of your fans? Talk about direct messaging.
If you want to start with a decent email marketing platform, I would advise Convertkit.
Not only do they have the opportunity to create effective signup forms, but they also give you excellent mailing marketing courses for free. You can check them out for 30 days for free, just to see if you like it.
Then, you can start sending out your music to your fans along with some great promos or music files. Yes, you can get them to sign up if you give away one song for free! How awesome is that?
You could also send links to Spotify or iTunes lists right in their inbox. But still, it is probably the most direct way to promote your music to your fans.
By adding a signup form to your website, and some call to actions to direct people to a signup form, you will create a highly engaged email list of fans.
To get people on that mailing list, you can also create relatable music content or some stories of live shows or rehearsals.
By creating those remarkable stories about your latest live show, and by using strategically placed content snippets in your blog post, your fans are more likely to find your webpage, and thus your music.
Another good shareable content idea could be to create engaging videos in which you share behind the scenes footage or some lessons on how to play parts of your latest songs.
Bought some new awesome gear? Waw, that is another super great opportunity to write a detailed blog post about how the gear works, why you bought it, what other gear you want to use and so on.
Ever did an awesome interview? Share it in a blog post. Having an awesome afterparty? Tada, more blog post material. New album coming out? Collaboration with another band?
The opportunities are endless as long as you keep it interesting for your fans.
Step 4: Your Fans are on Social Media. Are you?
You probably already have a social media account. And you may even have some fans following you there. Is it working for you? Do you get the engagement you want?
If your profile looks exciting and professional, you are good to go. And if you make it clear that you are a Band or Musician, it is even better.
But what if you use your personal profile to promote your music? Is that possible?
You can share whatever you want on your profile, but we are talking serious business here. Your work of art! You want that to be the main focus of your posting routine.
Within your posting routine, if you take the business route, you will need to post content that attracts your fans and your music content. (pro tip, do this in a 70-30 % way, 70% other relevant content, 30% your content, to not over-promote your music, and to attract that superfan.
In the above model, you see that there is very little room left for your content. That’s right. On your music profile, you should not be sharing your visit with aunt may and a picture of the cake she made.
Create a separate personal profile and another for your music or band. It will keep things more professional; you can do on each profile whatever you want (in regards to your target audience :) and everybody is happy.
Been on stage? Had an awesome interview? Put it in your press release.
You can see a press release as a valuable document that will represent you in your music promotion.
This is something that you will build up during your career and can present to future managers/journalist/promoters/interviewers and such.
The more facts you can find about your band or music project, the better.
Tell them as if you are you write it for someone else. Tell it from a third person perspective.
You can create an awesome EPK (electronic press release) for free with this mini-course.
That is right; I said “first steps” because there are more things that you can do to promote your music online.
And, although it is up to you how serious you want to make this if you have taken the above steps, you are already off to a good start.
And as always, keep creating awesome music and share it with the world.

Why we do this: In-house marketers and entrepreneurs have it tough. Managing just one ad account, you’re stuck in your vacuum, unsure if what you’re seeing in your ad campaigns is normal or not. As an agency, we’re in a privileged position to work with many eCommerce companies and have a much broader perspective into what’s working and what’s not across a variety of brands.
So we wanted to open up our data a bit (without sharing confidential client info) to give you a better idea of the larger landscape.
In this post, we wanted to do a 2017 annual review and take you through our numbers and results from spending several million dollars on digital advertising (Facebook ads and AdWords primarily).
Last year we worked with about 20 eCommerce brands. This dashboard is a general rollup of all of those campaigns into one so that we can get some high-level benchmarks.
This should be helpful for you in comparing your numbers against our clients.
Of course, every business is different and there’s different price points and customers so it’s not an apples to apples comparison, but this will give you a general idea of what our numbers looked like.
Our cost per purchase overall for 2017 was $22. This is very, very good to acquire paying customers. In 2016 we were at $41, so we cut that in half!
Depending on your price point and margins, $22 might be terrible or amazing. We’ve had clients who needed a $15 CPA to be profitable and other’s who were very happy with a $100 CPA.
2017 ROI was over 3x, compared to 7x in 2016. HOWEVER, the 3x last year is actually way better because we were way more at scale. We spent much more money and ultimately made our clients more profit.
If you’re seeing about a 3x at a meaningful amount of spend, that’s normal based on what we’re seeing with different brands, different price points and industries.
A lot of people like to brag and feel good about their 20x ROI, but that’s almost always because they only spent a few hundred dollars and mainly did retargeting. Ok, so you spent $300 and made $8,000. Thats A.) Not that much money and B.) Not repeatable.
I’d rather consistently spend $80,000 a month and make back $240,000.
Here there’s a very clear trend with Facebook and Google getting more expensive overall. CPM’s nearly doubled year over year.
The overall Cost Per Click went up 56%.
We’re definitely seeing these networks get more expensive and we’re going to see that in 2018 as well.
You’ll need to get used to paying more per click as these platforms get more and more competitive.
Note for the above, this is for link clicks, not ALL clicks. CTR for all clicks is normally around 2-4%. CTRs went up actually which is promising. This shows that ads are getting more engagement.
We should actually see this trend continue with the new updates Facebook announced with changes to the newsfeed.
Content and ads should get more engagement now that Facebook will be filtering out more and more organic branded content.
This means that for 100 people going to a site, 5 pulled out their credit card and bought something.
Hopefully you’re at least a 2% conversion rate. Any less than that and it’s tough to scale and make the math work for paid traffic. But if you’re in the 2-5% range, you should be doing pretty well.
This big jump last year is partially a result of us as an agency getting better at targeting and also Facebook improving features like Lookalikes.
So take a look at your metrics and see how they compare to this!
We send out our monthly research and trends just like this to our email list.

with the half walls that separated the living room/office and the kitchen/dining room.
I wanted something western, which in my mind meant leather and nailheads.
Here's a close-up of the office wall treatment. I loved it then, I love it now. But I'm so over brown.
up until I re-painted that room a pale green. The red had to go.
Since I'd be getting rid of the red, it seemed only logical to re-do the brown at the same time.
What follows is a sort-of how-to lesson on the process, in case you're inclined to try something similar.
Ripping out the old stuff was shockingly easy.
The nailheads, which I'd spent days pounding in, took but a few minutes to pull out.
to pound in all those nails – I was pounding through a metal edging strip.
Smooch: Shut up and show them the new coverings. That's what they came to see.
No more dark brown in the living room/office and a sage green for the kitchen/dining room.
I ordered the material online from Worth Fabrics, after a very nice lady sent me a bunch of swatches.
It was about $14 a yard, which seems like a bargain for how nice it is.
which in my case was the dining room floor.
It was when I was crawling around the concrete on my knees that I heard a whisper.
Me: Yeah, I sure wish I had some knee pads.
Me: I heard you the first time.
Then I thought about it...did I bring home knee pads when I cleaned out my dad's garage?
I did! Even better, I was able to find them in my messy garage!
I could have crawled around all day after that.
Anyway, with all the materials cut, it was time to spray them with adhesive.
The Ranger saved the day again.
This is the stuff I used. The vapors are kind of strong, otherwise I might have sprayed the wall instead.
It's very forgiving, in that you can peel and re-stick multiple times until everything's in the right place.
I lightly stuck the fabric to the wall, then went back to the right side and worked my way west.
The important thing here is not to panic. If the fabric gets all crooked, you can peel it off and start over.
I smoothed and pressed out the air toward the top and bottom, then smoothed some more.
The closer I got to the end, the easier it got because there was less to peel off and re-stick.
I rounded the corner, then used a utility knife to trim around the final edge.
The knife also came in handy to cut around the outlet that I had covered.
Smooch: I like it. Not so Christmasy anymore.
After 25 years in the fabric business, I can't say that I have seen a better job! Three Cheers! Congratulations!
That looks very nice! More subtle. Smooch looks so cute sitting there -- does she slip on the floors at all? Ours are wood & if I don't keep their paws trimmed, the dogs slide around on them. "Disagreements and bickering"...do you live in my house?
If Smooch really gets going, she might slip on the floors. Usually there's enough dust on them to provide traction.
I like it. Smooch seems to appreciate the effort too.
Wow, looks great. Was the house already there when you bought the ranch. I've always thought you had it built for some reason.
I had the house built.
I love the colors ... great job!!
Looks great. Good to have fresh stuff to look at indoors in the winter. And Smooch is so appreciative.
Good to know about the adhesive - I always seem to get one that sticks instantly and is totally unforgiving. Hear ya loud and clear about the advantages and disadvantages of having a second person to help.
Looks FABulous! I never thought of doing the walls with leather! Now I have some ideas brewing!
I did glaze up over the knee pads, and if I would have been there, I would have tried to help but would end up doing my usual..." Get it Carson, do it Carson..."
((clapping wildly)) It looks amazing!!!!
But disagreements and bickering? I beg to differ. No matter who was there to help, I think there would be crazy-loud laughter and somewhat foul (yet tremendously eloquent) cursing!
I was thinking of my imaginary husband when I made the disagreements/bickering remark. Surely there would be the crazy-loud laughter and eloquent cursing had I attempted this project with an able ranch hand... especially when someone would get accidentally (?) stuck between the wall and the material.
The wall looks fabulous. Now that you've applied neutral, you probably won't have to think of doing it again. Those color choices should go with anything. Great job.
Looks super. But the most incredible part is that you did it solo. That couldn't have been easy.
Beautiful work. I have never seen that type of fabric before, you have given me ideas.
Wow, you are one crafty lady. I love the color and texture of the fabric. Very pretty.
love it, green is my fav colour! first class kitchen, enticing to cook luxury meals!
That is really nice .I very seldom comment on blogs but just had to say how great that looks.
I need to paint my bedroom or do something to change it.
I have a very small house 2b 1b liv and kitchen and carport your normal small town FL house.
That is beautiful, the color and the pattern.
