Five questions to ask a potential financial adviser to ensure he or she is the right financial adviser for you in the long run.
Chances are high that your financial adviser found you and not the other way around. Your cousin, who just joined up with X insurance company, spotted an opportunity to set up a meeting. You think to yourself: “How convenient!” and not even in a sarcastic way. It must be fate, right? Look, your cousin may be a great guy, but it doesn’t mean he’s the right financial adviser for you. So, how do you know if he’s ‘the one’?
How Do You Know If Your Financial Adviser Is The Right Fit For You?
The cost of living in South Africa is rising at an alarming rate. Inflation has escalated, certain medical cost increases have exceeded inflation, and personal tax has gone up. It’s not surprising that people don’t pick up the phone to invite grudge purchases like life insurance. “Now” expenses are already so pressing that it’s easier to ignore “later” provisions. But that’s where a good financial adviser comes in. Financial advisers tell you what you need to hear, not only what you want to hear. They make sure you look out for your future and your dependents, even when doing so is uncomfortable. And they force you to take your head out of the sand and look out for future you. They do all the homework to compare products and benefits to taylor to your needs, so you don’t have to. That said, not all financial advisers are great. It’s a tough job to crack and not everyone’s cut out to invest in your financial wellbeing. Throughout your life, your financial needs will constantly change. That’s why it’s important to have someone who is with you until the end. We’ve listed five questions you should ask a potential financial adviser to figure out if he or she is right for you.
1. Are You Tied or Independent?
If an adviser is what is called a ‘tied agent’, it means they’re only allowed to sell products for one company. An independent financial adviser is able to present you with options from almost any financial institution they have relationships with. This is a tricky one. While the choice seems obvious here, you also have to look at motivations. A tied agent may have chosen to represent only one company, but why? They may have chosen one company because they believe in that company and its products. They are also able to focus on the intricacies of the products they can offer you because their attention isn’t split between a multitude of options. You want to get to know the person in front of you and if they have your best interests at heart. Who they work for is minor in comparison to that.
2. Do You Buy What You’re Selling?
This is very important. Who wants to buy life cover from someone who doesn’t have life cover? Not us. If someone is influencing your financial decisions, throughout your lifetime, it should be someone who believes wholeheartedly in what they’re doing. It just speaks to integrity.
Truly great financial advisers are those who see themselves as financial advisers until they retire. You don’t want to be taken care of by someone who has secret aspirations of being an actor. This is a career that comes with a lot of bells and whistles, and some people are drawn to it for the wrong reasons. For example. being able to be flexible with your time so you can attend auditions. Pick a side, man. Pick a side.
4. When Will I See You Again?
No, he/she won’t think you’re needy. A good financial adviser will want to see you regularly. Annual reviews are industry standard. If he doesn’t call you back in a year, it’s not just a case of “he’s just not that into you (and your finances)”. He’s not invested in you, and it may be time to shop around.
5. Do You Have Indemnity Insurance?
Even if you decide this is the financial adviser for you, you have to make sure that you’re insured against any mistakes he or she may make. This is what indemnity insurance is for and all good financial advisers should have it to protect their clients. If you’re underinsured for critical illness at no fault of your own, you want to hear more than an “oops” at claim stage. At the end of the day, you want to be covered, in full.

I am a single mom, in my mid-40’s, of a 10 year old boy. I work full time in a very fast-paced office, and part-time in the evenings to make ends meet.
I give private Italian lessons to students of all ages, many of whom love to travel to Italy. My native language is Italian and I learned English from watching Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers.
Terrible flare-ups almost weekly, with all the usual symptoms (resulting in prolonged visits to the bathroom). In addition, I occasionally break out in hives.
I now have bad joint pain, especially in my hands and shoulders, which is making even daily activities much more difficult.
Ulcerative Colitis has slowly restricted my world. I am afraid to eat because I’m always afraid it will trigger a flare-up, and I never eat at work.
I am afraid to travel, I’m always looking for a bathroom when I am in a store or have to attend an event for my son. I no longer go to dinner with friends or family because I figure why bother- usually there’s nothing on the menu that I can actually eat. I have missed some of my son’s milestones, like baseball playoffs and school field-trips, because I have had a flare-up or have been in the hospital due to one.
At the moment, I am currently on my 6th specialist and he was the one who diagnosed me. I have been in the Emergency Room or hospitalized almost every month over the last 24 months. I have insurance but the co-pays have added an extra level of difficulty to my financial situation.
One of the hardest parts is the “hiddenness” of the disease, and the fact that people know nothing about it. I get “well, at least it’s not cancer!” a lot. No one really understands the nature of Ulcerative Colitis, nor the hours of pain either. My mother means well but she constantly harps on me to eat and doesn’t understand the fear that comes before eating. My employer is somewhat understanding but I worry that one day, all goodwill will vanish and I will be left with no employment and no medical benefits. Having to leave in the middle of the day to go home and sit in the bathroom for hours during a flare-up is debilitating, not to mention embarrassing.
Some days I can cope far better than others. I would love any advice on how to cope, and what procedures others have put into place for dealing, and how to educate others on ulcerative colitis.
Been taking Apriso for a while. Was helping. Seems to have stopped.
Was given Xifaxan for 6 weeks as well.
I am a single mom, in my mid-40's, of a 10 year old boy. I work full time in a very fast-paced office, and part-time in the evenings to make ends meet.
I’m super sorry to hear that UC has got you down in the dumpers right now. It must be super exhausting worry about the bathroom and the “usual” simple of idea of living another day.
But, (and you got to trust me here), life is going to get better for you. It will. This will most certainly not go on forever, and FOR sure, there will be a day in the not too distant future where you will be helping out another UC’er who is in the middle of tuff times.
Hello, my name is Robin and I am a veteran with ulcerative colitis, I am a nurse as well as a single mother who raised three kids alone .Currently 16-year-old son sophomore in high school, 18-year-old and 20-year-old daughters that are living on their own now and working. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when I had my first child 20 years ago, and some days I have wondered how I got through working full-time, going fo nursing school and how I’ve been raising three teenagers alone with this unpredictable mean illness with severe flareups.
I have had two hospitalizations that lasted a month long each, with two major flares in the past five years. What I can tell you is by the grace of God you will get through this. I am on Paleo diet SCD diet and take VSL probiotics daily with turmeric and a new Biologic Simponi. I’m currently in a flare because I was drinking a little wine… alcohol and stress and gluten are what put me in bad flares.
I try to avoid stress but in the medical field sometimes that’s unavoidable as well as being a single parent.
I also try to get out into nature to hike or run on weekends. I highly recommend the SCD and gluten free diet which seems to keep me in remission if I’m disciplined! Hang in there and know when to not push yourself and try probiotics and SCD diet.. you will get through this with gods help and good care of your self! Take care.
I am so sorry to hear you are struggling right now Neva. I am, at the moment, fending off a flare and I enjoy putting my loved ones needs and wants long before mine. But when I am not feeling well I have learned and found the strength to put myself and my body first. I realize that without my health I cannot provide and serve my loved ones the way I want. It is very important to take the time to heal. If you are able to take time off, even a long weekend, just to sleep and relax, meditate and draw strength from some fresh air, I would. Stay stong and treat yourself well. It’s easy to get frustrated and mad at your body but it needs you to love it and care for it. Good luck and I hope you find some resources here that help you! Just being able to talk with others that know what you are going through is going to help.
I’m glad to hear that you are taking probiotics. Don’t stop them. Your colon needs the good bacteria. I take a 50 billion strain one, and it has actually put me into remission!
I sure hear you when you say you have a fear of eating. I remember when everything I ate, hurt, and then, to add insult to injury, went right through me. It is a horrible way to be. These things do eventually stop, and I think taking a good probiotic will help that to happen. Do you know what strain number it is? Also, make sure that you take it first thing in the morning, on a completely empty stomach. That seems to matter.
One thing you mentioned is that eating is an issue. I was on the thin side before I had UC, and now people tend to think I am anorexic. It is very annoying, so I do try to avoid being around situations where we’ll be eating. I tend to eat a normal meal like everyone around me concerning what is offered and then I’ll be super ill. If I am not in a flare that is somewhat OK, but right now I am and it is very dangerous and I could end up on the toilet all night. My mom seems to get it. She was there when I was diagnosed. I find that each flare has been different. My appetite isn’t that great right now (I’m in a flare right now) but once I eat something, I find I am hungry and I have to control myself to stop eating too much for fear of the severe repercussions. (I also never talk on this site unless I’m in a flare). I guess I’m fickle that way. Anyway, I am glad to hear another person felt pressured to eat and I’m glad another person mentioned that it affected her social life in a huge way. It has affected mine (not that I’m that outgoing or anything). I used to really enjoy going out. Now I try not to and usually don’t.
I have been through the worst “flare-up” since I have had this disease..I usually get flared, but can get out of it after a round of steroids, enemas, etc…My condition started getting bad in September 2012..I was having more bleeding with pain and fevers up to 103 F. I was finishing up a job contract in South Florida and my estranged wife were not getting along. Since then I have had to deal with a divorce. My family had to come and help me move and I missed work for 2 months!! I felt totally worthless!! I had never missed work that long since maybe college days. I went back work on another travel RN job in the Emergency Room and began having severe rectal pain! Turns out I had a rectal fistula. I had to have surgery that Friday and had to leave my job..I have since had another surgery for another fistula and dealt with severe pain for months!! I have been anemic, weak, dizzy and just pain sick!
It is now June and I am getting my strength back..I felt like this has been a flare that I cannot completely shack. I still go to the bathroom maybe 8-10 times a day with intense pressure and painful defecation..I know things will get better, but I am extremely frustrated like yourself..It is so hard to eat and think about food sometimes. I too hate having to eat out with family or what not. I am self conscious about being too skinny although I am now back up to 170lbs..I am 5’10 and am finally getting back to the gym..I find that exercise really helps my mind and body. I wish there was more of a support group here where I live. Are you still really sick??

One year after Steenberg’s popular Constantia eatery, Bistro Sixteen82 became the first restaurant to partner with ABALOBI, the small-scale fisher initiative supplying chefs with responsible and traceable fish, the enterprise has grown to over 100 Western Cape restaurants.
“After just one year these fishers are stronger and healthier because they are able to fish less and have smaller catches for good money, rather than going out in dangerous circumstances or chasing ever more fish for extremely low prices at the harbour. In Struisbaai during the last winter, for example, when conditions were bad for fishing, the fisherfolk managed to make ends meet without having to take out a loan, which has, unfortunately, become the norm in many coastal communities,” he adds.

When the programmer is implementing a download cache library for his/her application to download files from the HTTP 1.1 server, the programmer usually has to write his/her own implementation of determining whether the file is not modified on the server since the last download, hence no need to re-download the file and just read or load from the previously downloaded file on the local folder.
HTTP 1.1 specification supports a special type of HTTP Get, called HTTP Conditional Get. HTTP Conditional Get does not download the file if the file is not modified since the last download. HTTP Get method changes to a HTTP Conditional GET if the request message includes an If-Modified-Since, If-Unmodified-Since, If-Match, If-None-Match, or If-Range header fields. In this article, I am going to show you how to use the If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match header field in HTTP Get request to turn your HTTP GET into HTTP Conditional GET. I will be using .Net 2.0 HTTP classes to demonstrate this method.
For the first download, it is always a HTTP Get request because we do not have the If-Modified-Since date and If-None-Match message digest. So for the first downloads, we must store the ETag, which is the file's message digest, and the last modified date from the server, to be used in the subsequent HTTP Conditional Get requests.
Note: For the ETag, you have to store the ETag: you cannot calculate the ETag message digest yourself, because you do not know what message digest algorithm which the server is using to calculate the message digest.
Note: For last modified date, you have to store the original string as well, if you are not using .Net HTTP classes but some other HTTP libraries; If you store the same date in another string format, some servers may misinterpret it as a different date, thus a 'different' file which needs to be downloaded.
The HTTP Get code example stores the ETag and last modified date from the HttpWebResponse object returned by HttpWebRequest's GetResponse method. To keep the code snippets simple and easy to understand, I have omitted the proper exception handling code.
The HTTP Conditional Get code example uses the ETag to set the If-None-Match header field and uses last modified date to set the If-Modified-Since header field before getting the HTTP response. HttpWebReponse class will throw a System.Net.WebException with the StatusCode set to NotModified if the file is not modified; we have to catch this exception and check the StatusCode.
I have made a C# demo which you can download publicly available files from any HTTP 1.1 servers. The first download is always a download. The subsequent downloads would take place, if the file has changed since the first download.
Note: The HTTP Conditional Get could only take place if the server has provided the ETag and last modified date fields in the first download.
I guess I'll write here what I does in my free time, than to write an accolade of skills which I currently possess. I believe the things I does in my free time, say more about me.
When I am not working, I like to watch Japanese anime. I am also writing some movie script, hoping to see my own movie on the big screen one day.
I like to jog because it makes me feel good, having done something meaningful in the morning before the day starts.
I also writes articles for CodeGuru; I have a few ideas to write about but never get around writing because of hectic schedule.

There was no outlook written for Evan Marzilli in 2019. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Released by the Cubs in March of 2019.
Marzilli is 6-for-25 (.240) with three doubles, an RBI, and six walks through seven games with Triple-A Reno.
Marzilli is not doing much in the hit department early, but he is excelling at getting on base, posting a .387 OBP in his seven games. Marzilli has never appeared in a big league game, but he hit well this spring before being slowed by a groin injury, so he could be an option for the major league club at some point this season.
Marzilli is unlikely to make the Opening Day roster due to a groin injury that has limited him of late, MLB.com's Steve Gilbert reports.
Marzilli went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI against High-A Bakersfield on Monday and is currently on a 10-game hit streak, batting .432 with two home runs, two doubles, a triple, nine RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base in that span.
Marzilli went 1-for-2 with one RBI, a run scored and two walks against High-A San Jose on Monday and has now hit safely in four-straight games and in five of his last six.

Looking at the e-commerce platform Shopify’s blog, they suggest that businesses doing international shipping should use multiple carriers so that they can compare the costs for each delivery. By giving yourself plenty of options, you can find what delivery options work on a customer by customer basis.
The netParcel app through Shopify offers a variety of discounted courier services from companies like UPS, Purolator, DHL and FedEx. As a business owner, you can download the application to get up to 70% off of essential services — saving money on your shipments will be an absolute breeze.
Even if the customers aren’t half-way across the world, a courier broker can still be incredibly helpful for trimming down costs and giving your budget some more wiggle room. For instance, online stores based in the United States can use the app to quickly find the cheapest way to ship to Canada while on a tight schedule.
One of the best tips for saving money on shipping is to recognize when consolidation works in your financial favor. When you combine your packages with packages from other businesses, you can save yourself money. Since you are sharing the shipment space, you can effectively split the costs between more people.
With the help of the netParcel app, you can use the cheapest shipping options available to get your products to your eager clients in Canada. Volume consolidation services are also possible for shipping internationally to areas like the UK and Australia.
You can find effective ways to cut down the costs of packaging materials. For instance, you can use recyclable and reusable packaging materials to extend the lifespan of your investments — this will come in handy for days when you receive product returns. There’s no need to toss undamaged items into the trash.
Or you could try alternatives to traditional products like packing peanuts or bubble wrap. Something like shredded newspaper will be good at cushioning your items, and it has the benefit of being easily accessible and recyclable.
You don’t have to shy away from the idea — you can lean into it. Advertise on your website that you focus on reusable and recyclable materials. While it saves you money, it will also make your business look more environmentally-conscious and appeal to consumers with the same interests.
You can cut costs without having to make a major sacrifice. Downloading the netParcel app can help you choose between reliable couriers and arrange for volume consolidation shipments. Moving towards recyclable and reusable packaging means that you can stretch your budget for materials. Taking on these suggestions will benefit your business in the short-term and the long-run.

In a currency swap operation, also known as a cross-currency swap, the parties involved agree under contract to exchange the following: the principal amount of a loan in one currency and the interest applicable on it during a specified period of time for a corresponding amount and applicable interest in a second currency.
Currency swaps are often used to exchange fixed-interest rate payments on debt for floating-rate payments; that is, debt in which payments can vary with the upward or downward movement of interest rates. However, they can also be used for fixed rate-for-fixed rate and floating rate-for-floating rate transactions.
Each side in the exchange is known as a counterparty.
In a typical cross-currency swap transaction, the first party borrows a specified amount of foreign currency from the counterparty at the foreign exchange rate in effect. At the same time, it lends a corresponding amount to the counterparty in the currency that it holds. For the duration of the contract, each participant pays interest to the other in the currency of the principal that it received. Upon the expiration of the contract at a later date, both parties make repayment of the principal to one another.
In a cross-currency basis swap, the European company would borrow USD1 billion and lend EUR500 million to the American company assuming a spot exchange rate of USD2 per EUR for an operation indexed to the London Interbank Rate (LIBOR), when the contract is initiated.
Throughout the length of the contract, the European company would periodically receive an interest payment in EUR from its counterparty at LIBOR plus a basis swap price, and it would pay the American company in dollars at the LIBOR rate. When the contract comes to maturity, the European company would pay USD1 billion in principal back to the American company and would receive its initial EUR500 million in exchange.

I need to transfer a video from my Android based Sony Xperia Ion to my sister’s phone. As the Bluetooth is not working with the device, I would like to transfer it via NFC. What are the steps for transferring the same?
Re: What has to be done for transferring a video from Android based Sony Xperia Ion to another phone through NFC?
First of all, make sure that your sister’s phone has NFC function and Android Beam function is enabled on both devices. Then, go to the home screen of your phone and hit the ‘Application screen’ icon. Locate the ‘Album’ option afterwards and make a single tap over it. Then, go through the list of videos and hit the video you need to share. Hold the device back to back until the NFC detection areas touches each other. You can find the device vibrate and produce short sound when the phones get connected. Hit the thumbnail for starting the transfer. Once the transfer process gets completed, see whether the video is shown on the screen of receiving phone and saved into it.
- Activate NFC function & android beam function in both the devices.
- Tap on application screen.
- Tap on album option.

The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) boasts a fantastic collection of natural history and botanical artifacts. BHL has digitized over 100,000 titles from over 170,000 volumes of taxonomic literature.
“Much of the published literature on biological diversity is available in only a few select libraries in the developed world. These collections are of exceptional value because the domain of systematic biology depends, more than any other science, upon historic literature. Yet, this wealth of knowledge is available only to those few who can gain direct access to significant library collections. Literature about the biota existing in developing countries is often not available within their own borders. Biologists have long considered that access to the published literature is one of the chief impediments to the efficiency of research in the field. Free global access to digital literature repatriates information about the earth’s species to all parts of the world.” – Biodiversity Heritage Library.
Below we explore several species from Dr. Otto Wilhelm Thomé’s book Flora of Germany Austria and Switzerland (1885).

Muffled talk and "Don't put the buggy in the moat!"
Before coming to Antarctica, I promised my family and friends that I would not take any unnecessary risks. Today, I honored that promise; I was in a situation that pushed my comfort zone just a little too far, so I got myself out of the situation. Now it makes a good story!
My dry suit has an attached hood with a face seal around the edges which seals against my face preventing water from entering the hood. This morning, while I was getting suited up to dive, part of the face seal tore away from the hood. The tear extended from the chin to about ear level. I then had a hood with an odd chin strap!
I decided to wear my "beanie" hood under my dry suit hood for extra warmth, and the band helmet would most likely seal off most water from getting into the hood. It is common for people to dive with hoods arranged in such a fashion. We agreed, that if I was cold, I would end the dive. We suited up to dive, and I jumped in the water. Very little water entered the hood area, and I was plenty warm, so I continued with the dive.
My main mission was to capture photographs of parcticular regions of the lake bottom. The dive was going quite well, but then the loose "chin strap" on my hood started sliding up into my helmet. First it loosely covered my mouth, but I could still breath quite easily. When wearing a band helmet, one can breathe through both nose and mouth. I continued working, but then the strap covered my mouth a little more tightly, yet I could still breathe easily through my nose. I adjusted the helmet to move the strap off my mouth, which it did. The biggest problem at this point was that Ian, who was tending the dive, was having trouble understanding what I was saying. All my words were muffled from the strap. I shot off a few more pictures, but then the strap moved again. It was now touching, but not blocking both my nose and mouth. Even though I was able to breathe easily, I decided that the potential for problems and the inability to communicate clearly with the surface made it time to end the dive. I headed back to the hole and got out. Ian and I had a good chuckle about the "muffled talk."
Ian had a very successful dive! He took the oxygen sensor to the lake bottom and took an oxygen profile through the mat. This requires precise measurements with quite technical equipment. Kay recorded the data and then imported the data to his computer. The results were spectacular. The oxygen levels fluctuate precisely with the layers within the mat. This gives Ian great strides in his ability to understand the oxygen production levels of the algal mat.
While Ian and I made our dives, the Antarctic sun continued to warm the valley. Running water could clearly be heard both within and beside the glacier. Small waterfalls are cascading down the sides of the glacier, the moat is melting; we even have water streaming into our dive hole.
This afternoon, I shuttled four people on the ATV to the opposite end of the lake. I had to drive the ATV right on the edge of the permanent lake ice so that it wouldn't break through the moat. No one would get hurt if the ATV went through the moat, but the ATV would most likely get stuck and it would be an environmental disaster for the lake. When driving around Lake Hoare, "Don't put the buggy in the lake!"
1. The latest fashion in "chin strapped" hoods!
2. Algal mat at the bottom of Lake Hoare.
3. Another look at the algal mat.
4. The underwater oxygen sensor in action. The sensor readout is on the left hand side. The micro-manipulator, which allows the diver to control the depth of each movement, is the arm extending to the right, and the actual sensor is on the far right pointing towards the mat.
5. Our make-shift bridge to get across the melting moat!
6. The view out our lab window in camp; spectacular!

When Easter comes round, so does the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Fondly termed simply as ‘The Show’, this is an event spanning 14 days showcasing the BEST of Australia’s agriculture, arts and crafts and food and wine.
Located at the Sydney Showground (in the vicinity of where most of the 2000 Sydney Olympics were hosted), almost 1 million people annually visit the show. It is a tradition 🙂 There really is something for everyone at the show.
It has been at least 4-5 years since we’ve been ourselves and 2015, we felt was a year to pay it another visit.
When we go, we love looking at all the exhibits and animals. There are competition winners everywhere; #1 rooster, #1 llama, #1 cow, best drawing, best tapestry… even the biggest and heaviest pumpkin.
An opportunity for everyone to showcase their skills in raising and grooming an animal/vegetable/plant.
But it’s not all about the agriculture, those who have a flair in the arts and crafts get their chance to shine too.
For youngsters, there are petting zoos, animal nurseries, carnival games and rides – and don’t forget the show-bags. We remember buying those as kids and now we can see they’re predominantly filled with junk & junk food (occasionally there is a goodie in there).
A few of our favourites at the show….
the District Exhibit which is a display made up of fruit, vegetables, grains, pulses and wool from five different agriculture regions. This year the display commemorates the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC Gallipoli landing during WWI. It was very impressive as it is every year.
the Woodchopping challenge where people of all ages race against one another to chop through blocks of wood. With woodchips flying everywhere and axes being wielded around, it does stir up excitement for us when we were kids and even now as adults.
And needless to say, with a show like this, there is the typical fair food (all healthy of course) – with the choice of hot dogs, turkey legs, corn on the cob, fairy floss (aka cotton candy), hot chips plus more.
Actually the last time we went to the show, we bought a bucket of fairy floss and since that day, we have NEVER touched fairy floss again.
But no fair/fete/carnival/show is complete for us without our buttered corn on the cob!
We were battered with rain that day but we didn’t let that dampen our spirits. We made sure we visited all the pavilions/displays and even had a go with the carnival games.
And to be honest, we’ve had our fix for now. Maybe 2020 will see us pay ‘The Show’ another visit.
Do you have an annual event in your home city that you enjoy attending?

I got into police road block 4 times last night. I never been block by police so many times since 1991 when I start driving. I wonder why the police set-up so many block last night, it almost cover all the major road from town area to my house. The only reason I can think of is because of 'mat rempit'. No wonder I didn't see much 'mat rempit' on the road, they must have been flee from the main road. If the police can do the same thing on every Saturday night and on the night before public holiday, I think the 'mat rempit' will be vanished soon.
so many road blocks maybe raya is coming? u know lar. ehehe... raya need to spend more mar.

Our handy guide to maintaining your laminate flooring.
Use felt pads everywhere. Although laminate floors are hard to scratch, moving heavy furniture or repeated scratching of a chair can wear or scratch the surface much easier than normal. Using felt pads under all furniture will protect against this.
Check your shoes, especially heels. Look out for any sharp or metal bits sticking out, especially common in high heels. This can really scratch your floor.
Install mats at entrances. It's a good idea to have on outside mat that will remove stones and dirt and a thin rubber backed one inside to remove extra moisture.
Never wet mop. Laminate floors don't like water as it can cause them to swell and bubble. Clean your floor with a dry mop and laminate floor spray and also using a hover with brush head attachment.

In each path I walk - through my work, through this blog, through my mothering and through my friends I am always asked questions about where to source ethical, sustainable and fair products. I have received so may emails and comments (thank you so much) since having this blog about this very topic.
I have spent years looking, researching and learning about where to buy products that help not harm the planet or ourselves. It has been a labour of love and wow there is still so much for me to learn and find out about!
However since this has been put to me I have decided to take this on and honour it. Honour that people do care and want to make change but trusting and finding good sources for these products can be tricky and I know this all too well. It takes time, effort and energy to make sure the money we spend and the choices we make are smart.
So I am aiming to host stories, information and offers from companies that meet a very high ethical standard.
- Companies that are committed to organic or biodynamic practices.
- Organisations that stick to fair trade practices.
- Business that are focused on 'green' and sustainable material use and products.
- Places where people are making positive change.
I am aiming to help 'you' the consumer to know and access more businesses sticking with the code ethics mentioned above. So please use all that you can.
- Please feedback is essential.
- Tell me of products you find hard to source meeting this code of principles and if I don't know I will try hard to find the answer!
- Look here for my posts about these companies and support them.
In the long run we all can learn, grow and change together. And finally please pass this post or link onto anyone you think maybe interested in making more conscious and positive consuming.

How your mental illness affects you and how it may relate to your involvement in the criminal justice system is very fact dependent. Perhaps, a person is not criminally responsible for their actions based on their mental illness or disorder. Or perhaps, a person was criminally responsible but given their mental illness, their moral culpability is lessened and they wish the Court to understand and appreciate those personal characteristics. It is important to find a lawyer who is familiar with the different avenues that may be pursued while being sensitive to your mental health issues or illnesses. It is important to find someone who understands those avenues and the potential consequences of pursuing them.
In Ottawa, the courthouse has a mental health court with an assigned prosecutor and other mental health participants. Participating in such a court may open up connections to mental health services that a client was not aware of and may go down the path to resolving the matter in manner that is favourable to the individual and sensitive to that person's mental illness.
On the other side, a client may wish to pursue a not criminally responsible defence, which requires reviewing the evidence to determine the viability of that defence, assessments with forensic psychiatrists and presenting a case to the court. If a court finds a person not criminally responsible (NCR), the person is then directed to the Review Board. The question for the Review Board is whether the individual poses a significant threat to the safety of the public. The Board may absolutely discharge the individual where they do not pose a significant threat. If the Board finds the individual does pose a significant threat, the Board may impose a detention order (in a psychiatric hospital) or a conditional discharge. An individual goes before the Board annually at a minimum until they are absolutely discharged.
While some in society may view an NCR defence as a "get out of a jail free" card, as the individual does not go to jail or serve a sentence, the reality is that being found NCR can have many consequences, including restrictions on an individual's liberties for years and in some cases, decades. Whether an NCR defence is an available defence and something that should be pursued is something that should be discussed with a lawyer who understands these types of defences and their consequences.
Michelle O'Doherty and others at Bayne Sellar Ertel Carter have experience with assisting clients with various mental health issues and illnesses. Ms. O'Doherty has also represented clients who have been found NCR and have represented them at the Review Board. Your mental health issues or illnesses do not define you as a person but are a part of your personal circumstances and you should have a lawyer who is sensitive to these matters and can assist you in navigating through the criminal justice system.

Regardless of what size of business you work, you will require a decent business insurance agency that addresses the issues of your specific business and not somebody else’s. The best business protection providers can issue fundamental strategies for pretty much any sort of business.Best Business Insurance Companies Southwood Norfolk These strategies incorporate business auto protection, entrepreneurs arrangements, business obligation protection, business property protection, and specialists pay. Commonly these kinds of approaches can cover each other, or one sort of protection can be incorporated alongside another in an entrepreneur’s bundle.Best Business Insurance Companies Southwood Norfolk.
A typical protection bundle called a Business Owner’s Policy incorporates obligation protection, property protection and vehicle protection all under a solitary approach. But at the same time it’s conceivable to go ‘individually’ and select only the specific sorts of protection that you require, for example, medicinal installments scope, uninsured driver’s scope or devotion securities, independently from an entrepreneur strategy. Every business must decide for itself which parts of protection are extremely required, however before settling on a choice on a last arrangement.Best Business Insurance Companies Southwood Norfolk.
Specialist’s comp is a kind of no-blame protection scope that shields a business from claims documented by workers. This kind of protection is required by most state laws, so it is a critical angle to analyze while assessing a business insurance agency. You will need to ensure that it offers incredible laborers comp scope, including great rates and in addition great administration.Best Business Insurance Companies Southwood Norfolk.
In the event that your business offers proficient administrations in fields, for example, engineering, pharmaceutical or bookkeeping, at that point you will have an extraordinary worries about claims shielding you from carelessness or misbehavior. All things considered, insurance agencies that offer great business risk protection, for example, executives and officers or blunders and exclusions protection, will be of specific incentive to you.Best Business Insurance Companies Southwood Norfolk.
As an entrepreneur, you should consider these distinctive kinds of requirements when searching for a business protection arrangement. You will realize that you have discovered the correct organization on the off chance that it as of now has a current strategy to fit your needs, or can alter a current approach to influence it to work for you. When you have a decent business protection strategy set up, at that point you’re ready to quit stressing over protection and to return to the more imperative business of agonizing over how to profit out there in the commercial center.Best Business Insurance Companies Southwood Norfolk.

In a wide ranging interview with Fortune on his way to watch the SpaceX launch on Monday, Elon Musk said Level 4 autonomous driving will be possible within 2 years. Earlier this year, he told reporters he thought such capability was 5 to 6 years away. Why the change?
Musk tweeted a few weeks ago that he is looking for software engineers to work on Tesla’s Autopilot suite of autonomous driving programs, calling it a “super high priority.” The Autopilot project reports directly to him. What Elon wants, Elon gets. People at Tesla are accustomed to doing the impossible ahead of time and under budget. If you can’t do that, you don’t work there. Simple as that.
Level 4 autonomous cars must be able to “perform all safety critical functions for an entire trip. This includes both occupied and unoccupied vehicles,” according to the US Department of Transportation. Musk told Fortune that even though the software will be available in two years, it will take another year until regulators are convinced it is safe to use on public roads. “The point at which it becomes statistically clear that an autonomous car is safer, I think, regulators will be comfortable with allowing it,” he says.
During that year, the software will operate in “shadow mode,” comparing what it is programmed to do with what actually happens in real world driving. Using artificial intelligence algorithms, it will teach itself how to deal effectively with what Musk calls “corner cases.” Those are the millions of unknown and unknowable situations that human drivers face every day. The distracted pedestrian who dashes into traffic unexpectedly. The skateboarder who completes a perfect Ollie but lands in the middle of a crosswalk. The moment when a car runs a stop sign or slips sideways on an icy road.
Tesla has already turned its cars into one of the most advanced artificial intelligence networks in history. All of its cars with the Autopilot suite of sensors and software installed learn from their daily driving experiences and share that knowledge with each other. If there is road construction in Terre Haute, your Tesla will know about it, even if you live in Walla Walla and are driving in Indiana for the first time.
That’s exactly the kind of learning Musk expects Tesla’s Level 4 systems will do while working in “shadow mode,” waiting for regulators to turn them loose on public roads. He expects the network to provide the data regulators will rely on when deciding Level 4 autonomy is safe.
Tesla will not have the field for self driving cars all to itself, however. Google and Ford have just agreed to a partnership to produce autonomous cars. Faraday Future will unveil its self driving car at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Apple is still poking around with its Project Titan program. NextEV is making noise in China. Atieva has secured major funding for its new car project. And Uber is hot on the trail of building its own autonomous cars, assuming Tesla won’t be supplying it with cars any time soon.
But Tesla expects to be the firstest with the mostest when it comes to self driving cars. Its Autopilot system is already years ahead of its competitors and getting smarter every day. If I was a betting man, I would put my money on Musk — to win.

By the time a pupil reaches the level of the intermediate grades 4 and 5, repertoire needn’t be governed by an exam syllabus. Pieces outside of the ‘exam books’ therefore become increasingly important as a player begins to widen their musical horizons.
The ABRSM books for these two grades offer up some interesting music. At grade four, there is a lovely arrangement of a Cimarosa Piano Sonata which will need delicate tonguing to convey the con eleganza performance direction. I can also recommend trying the Honegger Romance in the same book, as this is an original and unusual piece for flute and piano with some scrunchy harmonies to become accustomed to.
Not everyone will take to it, but Allegretto by Russell Stokes (also in Easy Jazz Singles) is sure to be a winner. If you’re starting to think about some programme planning for pupils’ concerts, this selection is about as varied as it gets!
One of the best pieces on the entire syllabus can be found in the Grade 5 book. Léo Delibes’s Morceau is a wonderful vignette that will really appeal to those with a love of French Flute School music. Written as a sight-reading test for the Paris Conservatoire, the challenge at this level is both technical and artistic. Perhaps here, the first teacher-pupil conversations about changes of sound could take place.
The Largo and Vivace by Daniel Purcell will introduce pupils to a little-known British composer, while Mike Mower’s Mango Tango will provide some jazz-based interest. The big hit of the Grade 5 book, however, is bound to be The Playful Pony from Luna’s Magic Flute by Blaž Pucihar which is a wonderfully tuneful and happy piece. I’m sure that girls in particular will love it!
If you are a fan of CPE Bach, then the volume of his Six Sonatas could be for you. This book can be used for grade 4, 5 and 6, therefore represents long-term value for money.
Peter Wastall’s Classical Music for Flute had gone out of fashion over recent years, but it is a great hunting ground for simple pieces in the Classical style. The Sonata in C by James Hook is bright and sunny, and will be really useful in developing the neat articulation needed to bring out the clarity of the writing. This is a charming piece which really deserves its revival, and should be popular for Grade 5.
Another good book to invest in is the Telemann Suite in A minor which covers Grades 3-5. All the movements are lovely, and ultimately it is an ideal work to perform in its entirety with a school orchestra. At under £10 (at time of going to press), it works out just around £3 per grade!
Although Latin Connections contains just one set piece (for Grade 4), this is a book that both teachers and students will absolutely love. ‘What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life’ by Michel Legrand is probably one of the least well-known tunes on a contents page that lists all the greats of Latin music. Add in the benefits of a playalong CD and hours of pleasure can be had for not that much money!
Some more of Blaž Pucihar’s beautiful tunes can be found in Flute At Play, which is set for grades 4 and 6. This book is beautifully presented with full colour illustrations and a good quality CD. The music isn’t a pushover, and both Flute At Play in a jaunty A major and Dreamy Flute, with its slow sustained melody, will give a Grade 4 pupil a real workout. Flute At Play consists of ten pieces altogether which form a complete story, so there is plenty of scope for performance away from the exam – if you have enough students at this level, you could have a concert with a different player for each piece!
If you are able to splash out, there are some other lovely things to explore, especially at Grade 5. If you have a really promising student, they may be ready for the Claude Arrieu Sonatine, first movement, which is difficult but well worth the effort. As the whole work is on the Diploma list as well, you might find this student able to perform the whole work at some future date! Gerard Meunier’s atmospheric Au Crepuscule (At Dusk) is a beautiful sweeping melody which will stretch musical flexibility, but once mastered will be returned to many times. All the Goran Marcusson arrangements in the album Frösöblomster (Flowers from Froso) are delightful, with Song of Summer being particularly approachable at this level.
There are two study books in particular that will serve you well at several grades. There’s a lot of good material in Flute Studies Volume 1 published by Breitkopf, including some general practice notes. It starts at a basic level and, exam-wise, will take you through to grade 6. Kohler, Gariboldi et al are included, but set at grade 5 is a challenging Allegro by Pal Jardanyi. Rhythmically simple, the G minor centre modulates constantly, with the E flat major meno mosso section visiting D flat and G flat majors before returning home. Great for expanding aural awareness!
If you would prefer something a little more contemporary, try Allen Vizzutti’s Dynamic Dances. The Flamenco on the Grade 5 list is great, with strong Spanish rhythms (it brings Toreador’s Song from Carmen to mind). This is one of the easier pieces in this book, so it will readily add another dimension to technical work for more advanced players.
There is plenty here to make the exam route more interesting as well as stimulate a young flute player. Enjoy the variety on offer!

This is a service designed to assist clients who receive Social Security Income (SSI) for disability and/or mental health problems to manage and budget their monthly checks. We operate the largest homeless focused non-profit Representative Payee in San Joaquin County overseeing accounts totalling over six million dollars. Our approximately 600 SSI disability recipients need and deserve competent, honest and sympathetic management of their funds.
Therefore it is our purpose to provide services that ensure the payment of rent, utilities and food needs first and then provide the recipient with funds that will provide for the purchase of their personal care items and services out of the clients remaining resources. Services will be provided in a way that encourages and respects client dignity and participation in determining the use of their funds.
To be eligible for SSI a client must have received a determination of disability (insufficient mental capacity to manage their own financial affairs).
The client so judged is awarded a standard amount of monthly public assistance (SSI).
The recipient must select a payee- a responsible family member, friend or a public agency.
In the case of GCRM Representative Payee Program (RPP), the recipient’s monthly check is electronically deposit in a restricted account set up for the purpose of receiving and dispensing said funds.
RPP staff meet with the recipient to establish a budget to manage their funds. Once the budget is in place funds set aside for housing, utilities and food are of primary concern and are distributed first. After the primary concerns are met the recipient may have funds remaining to use for discretionary purposes. The remaining funds are budgeted for clothing and miscellaneous out of pocket expenses.

Before we start, Gamo has issued a recall of certain air rifles.
This was originally issued in October 2006, but it’s been reissued along with the gun serial numbers affected.
The recalled air rifles are the following GAMO models: Hunter Pro, Hunter Sport, Shadow Sport and F1200.
These models bear the serial numbers 04-IC-415577-06 through 04-IC-579918-06.
The model and serial numbers can be found on the left side of the barrel just above the front left side of the stock.
Sporting goods stores and gun shops nationwide from June 2006 to September 2006 for between $150 and $280.
Model F1200 was sold exclusively at Wal-Mart stores. Manufactured in Spain.
The scope mount on these rifles can be installed incorrectly, causing the rifle to fire unexpectedly.
This poses a serious injury hazard to consumers. GAMO has received one report of an air rifle firing unexpectedly.
inside the house, but they don’t know how to set up a safe range.
There are three basic airgun types to consider when setting up an indoor range – BB guns, pellet guns and airsoft guns.
They are each so different that I will address them separately, starting with the BB gun.
I would keep the muzzle velocity below about 450 f.p.s., and below 300 f.p.s. is even better.
You don’t need a lot of velocity to shoot at the short range recommended for indoors, and safety is always a prime consideration. When you buy that present, look at the muzzle velocity if indoor shooting is what you want to do.
Don’t shoot your eye out!
Steel BBs bounce back from hard surfaces such as steel, concrete, boards and trees. They can come straight back with nearly the same force they left the muzzle. For this reason, everyone in the area where shooting is taking place has to wear protective shooting glasses. This is nothing to be lax about. The danger is real, and every shooter knows that glasses are supposed to be worn whenever firing a gun, but it’s just as important that the other people in the area wear them, as well.
You need a safe place to shoot and about 20 feet from the muzzle of the gun to the target, if possible, though you can get by with less if necessary. Then, you need about three more feet for the target trap and backer board and five more feet for the firing line. Altogether, that comes to 28 feet of linear distance. The lighting should be low for the firing line and bright on the target. When shooting BBs, paper targets are one of the few things that are safe to shoot indoors.
Your shooting place should not allow people to be downrange while you are shooting. If there is a door downrange, or if you shoot down a hallway with doors you must make sure there are no people who can open the doors while you are shooting. If the door leads outside, it’s best to lock it while shooting takes place.
Because BBs bounce back, you cannot use a conventional steel bullet or pellet trap. One good BB trap is Crosman’s model 850 BB and pellet trap. It has cloth curtains to stop the BBs; and if you tilt it slightly backwards, the BBs will remain inside. To help keep them inside, you can lay a rubber magnet strip on the floor of the trap.
The other good BB trap is the AGE Quiet Pellet Trap. This trap is capable of stopping BBs from the most powerful BB guns, but I still don’t recommend shooting powerful guns indoors because of how much the BB will bounce if you miss the trap. After a lot of shooting, BBs have to be removed from this trap’s impact putty to prevent bounceback.
Behind the BB trap, you’ll put a backer board, so if the trap is missed the BB won’t hit anything in the house. A thin piece of plywood, about 3 feet square is fine for this. I didn’t have any plywood handy when I made my range, so I used a 5/8″ thick slab of particle board. Of course, a BB will bounce off this board, so I slant mine away from the firing line at the top. Just leaning it back against a wall takes care of that. Most BB guns are not accurate, so this board will be hit about one time in every 100 shots, and those BBs will bounce around the room. That’s why everyone wears shooting glasses.
Setting up a shooting range for BB guns in the home is not difficult, but there are special steps that must be taken. Remember, it isn’t a shooting gallery – it’s a small range for one shooter, and paper targets are the only safe things to shoot at. If you choose a BB gun with a modest velocity, your in-home range will be safe and fun. Be sure to read the Home IS the range! article on this website.
It is true that shorter barrels are more consistent than long barrels on a PCP? Thanks.
I’m guessing, but I would think that the shorter barrel pcp would be more reliant on the design of the air chamber and valving than a longer version of the same. The longer barrel would seem to me to be more consistant due to the fact that the barrel length adds to the effeciency with the same amount of air.
id’ recomend carpet. if you know the right people you can easily get rubber backed (used) carpet. any carpet will work, but i find this stuff lasts longest. 4 layers will stop a ~450 fps pellet by the 2nd layer. bbs stop by the first layer(sub 300fps) as a plus, it does not ricochet- but it does need replacing now and then.
off topic: is it true that a “preserver” goo (like cosmoline) comes in your new IZH 61?
I need your help. I got a logun eazi-glide pump for my condor. I got all the adaptors and put everything together just like it said in the instructions. I tightened the bleed screw. I’ve done everything (I think) right on my part. Well, I’m pumping it and nothing is happening. I’ll pump for an hour but the needle in the gauge won’t move at all. Also, after that hour, when I loosen the bleed screw no air shoots out like I believe it should. What am I doing wrong? I sent logun an email so hopefully they can help as well.
never mind (about the IZH 61) question I found out that pyramyd air (witch did a very wonderful job in packing and sending the items in the gun case (with the IZH 61) and they included a gel gun cusion (I guess from the canceled order with the first order, out of stock) and I am also amazed with Baikal/IZH there really is someone that inspects the rifles, not just a giant factory mass producing.
Hello…To bad JSB does not make BB’s, they would probably be much more accurate! (joke) There pellets sure are. By the way their Straton pointed pellet makes my Crossman 2100 shoot better than ever. They realy helped my low and mid power guns. Have a good Christmas everyone.
I don’t know what kind of preservation oil or grease IZH uses on the 61, but all airgun companies use something. They never know where thei guns are going or how long they will be on the shelf before being sold, so they preserve them in some way.
Airforce probably uses the least preservative because a large part of their guns are aluminum. The Russians and Chinese use the most.
I doubt that it’s really cosmoline. More likely a form of tool oil. Age may dry and harden it.
Something fundamental is wrong. I suspect a seal has been left out of the adaptor setup. It’s difficult to diagnose over the internet, and with a pump it’s really hard to figure out because so little air moves with each pump stroke, but I will work with you to try to figure this out.
The “Logun” pump is just an FX pump, so let’s begin there. Did they leave the white nylon seal in the hole at the base of the pump that the adaptor screws into? If so, it will defeat the AirForce seal that goes there. The AirForce seal seals the smaller metal adaptor that connects directly to the pump. It goes between the adaptor and the pump. Its a small circle of metal with a rubber insert in the center.
The white nylon seal is found at the bottom of the hole in the pump base that this adaptor screws into. If it’s in there it holds the adaprot too high for the AirForce seal to work.
Also, DO NOT USE PLUMBERS TAPE ON ANYTHING!
Pleaee read Tom Gaylord’s article on using a pump in which he describes what it’s like to fill a tank from empty.
Next, do you have the large O-ring that goes in the lip of the large black steel adaptor? If it isn’t in the lip (the tank attaches to it at that point) you’ll never make an air seal.
Please check these things and get back with me.
Ok, the little white thing is in there. Do I need to take it out? Also, the O ring that is on the adaptor (with the metal ring around it) is there. That last O ring, is it on the adaptor side closest to the tank? In other words, is it where the tank screws in. If so, it’s not there.
There’s the problem! The large O-ring (1-1/8″) fits in the groove in the end of the large black steel adaptor that the tank screws into. If it isn’t there, the tank cannot seal and you’ll never fill it.
Let’s leave the white nylon seal alone for the moment, though it isn’t supposed to be there when the AirForce adaptor set is used. Since I cannot verify that you HAVE a genuine AirForce adaptor set, let’s not touch this seal at this time.
Back to the large black adaptor. Look at the spot where the AirForce tank screws in. You will see a shelf in the end of the adaptor, if the O-ring is missing. If it’s there, you will see it.
If you don’t have it, call the dealer and request one. It’s an AirForce part that they should have supplied with your setup.
As I recall the size is 1-1/8″ by 1/8″. A hardware store O-ring of that size will do the job.
Let me know what you do.
I’ll let you know if any hardware stores have it, or if I’ll be calling airforce. Thanks a bunch.
Yes, that is the correct adaptor. The FX pump isn’t supposed to have the white nylon seal at the bottom, but a lot of dealers don’t know that. The pump comes with or without the seal. AirForce sells the same pump and gets it without the seal installed.
Removing the seal is problematic, so I would wait and see if you can get it work with the seal in place.
I couldn’t find any of the correct O rings here. I have someone who is shipping one to me though. When it gets here, I’ll let you know if everything works out.
BB…Springers…Thanks for answer. But some are almost useless they are so hold sensitive, except off a bench where you have the best chance to duplicate your hold and maybe hit the same point. Others as you have said in your blogs (ie TX200) are much better. Small groups don’t mean much if they don’t hit the mark. l just thought you may know where the HW50s fits, in that scale. As l want to buy one.
Just call AirForce. I bet they’ll send you an O-ring free.
The HW 50 isn’t as sensitive as the R9 or the RWS Diana 34, or even the R1.
The HW 50 is a lot like the R7.
Small groups that don’t hit the mark are corrected by the sights. Small groups are everything. A hold-sensitive gun cannot shoot small groups unless the correct technique is used on every shot.
The one I’m getting is free anyway, so it’s not a big deal.
How do I get to part 2 of “Setting up a home airgun range?” No link any whare that I can see???
Use the Search function located at the right side of the page.
The links are always on the later posts, so starting with Part 1 will never work.
There is no danger from lead dust coming out of the barrel indoors, is there?
No lead dust comes out of a barrel, but anti-oxidant does. It's easy to confuse one for the other.
Most often it's a wax (completely safe) or graphite (also safe). I doubt any pellet maker would use an unsafe product.
You have recommended the avanti 499 in many of your blogs for indoors. Is there any other very low fps pellet rifles as well? Most seem to be 500 or more unless I go with a multi pump to control it. I want the minimum fps that can accurately punch a hole in a paper target at 5 – 10m.
Is there any spring/ electric airsoft guns you could suggest that are still being sold and work well for target shooting?
It would be nice if they had a line of air rifles designed just for the indoor target shooters.
Are you Canadian, perhaps? Several airgun manufactures make guns that don’t go over the 495 f.p.s. Canadian limit. The HW30S is made that way, as is the Daisy 853, I believe. You just have to get the Canadian-spec version of the gun.
As for airsoft, the AEGs are not typically the most accurate, though they can be made more accurate with tight barrels. It’s the manually cocked spring piston guns with tight barrels that are the most accurate.
I’m from the USA. Just a guy who had a lot of fun shooting cans with pellet guns growing up. Except now I’m more cautious. As you mentioned paper targets in front of a trap is one of the few safe things to shoot indoors.
I will have a closed off area with a proper trap along with following your guide lines, eye protection, etc. A concrete wall is behind the shooting area. With family and pets in the house I feel better using something like airsoft ammo that is designed to usually not even break skin. Again I will always make sure everyone is out of the area though.
The 499 I found so interesting because of the low fps and accuracy. I might look into the daisy 853 but 500 fps seems like over doing it for shooting paper targets in the house.

You can read more on Romani history at this Sinti Romani Community website.
Romanies spent hundreds of years in Europe enduring wars, a lack of understanding of our culture, prejudice and hardship.
I am an Australian citizen now and believe that Australia will continue to benefit from having a multicultural society where the interesting and varied differences between all the cultures will create a greater tolerance and understanding of our world and the people who live in it.
I also enjoy our Romani dances and songs and learning the Romani language.
The word Romani comes from Sanskrit, as do many words in our language.
I came to Australia from Europe and migrated here in 2005.
Internally, the landscape of Syria and Palestine is broken into many different regions.
In consequence, the population was generally divided among many polities, each of which had its own official religion.
My husband and I are both Romani and live in Coffs Harbour with our three children. I enjoy our traditions, many of them coming from our Indian roots.
