And finding the best child custody lawyers in Houston, TX is no easy task. It demands a lot of research, and you should not take it lightly because the choice of your legal representation is one of the most important factors in the outcome of a child custody case.
In this article, we will look at the seven things you need to ensure so that you find the best child custody lawyers in Houston, TX. Let's begin.
1. Specialization of Lawyer
Choose a lawyer who is specialized in the family law. Lawyers can practice in the many different areas of law. You need someone who has expertise in the family law and knows everything about the child custody law. A specialized child custody attorney knows ins and outs of the legal process and expert in dealing with child custody cases.
2. Experience in the Family Law
Experience plays a vital role when it comes to complex divorce issues like child custody. Find a lawyer who has at least two to three years of experience in the family law. Ask questions about lawyer's experience in the family law. And, does your lawyer have experience in dealing with child custody cases? Make sure your lawyer has some tough child custody cases under his belt.
3. Special Skills of Lawyer
No doubt all lawyers who are specialized in the family law are skilled enough to handle any situation that may arise in your custody case. But still, each lawyer has his own philosophies, beliefs, and special skills. Find out what your lawyer is good at. Some lawyers are great trial lawyers but not good with negotiations. Some are experts in the negotiations and resolving issues through mediation or collaborative law but not well with trials. First, determine the type of resolution you need for your child custody dispute and then choose the lawyer who is specialized in a specific process.
4. Reputation of Lawyer
When you are looking for the best child custody lawyers, it is very important to check the reputation of the lawyer. To do so, check reviews and testimonials of the clients. What is their opinion about the lawyer? Do they recommend the lawyer? Check local bar association's website and American Bar Association's website. Is there any complaint about the lawyer? Check the reviews of the lawyer on online law directories. If you find something consistently reported by clients, then your lawyer is more likely to do the same with you.
5. Lawyer Behavior
How your child custody lawyer treats you play a very important role. Check behavior of the lawyer while interviewing him or her. If you are not comfortable with your lawyer or your lawyer is making you feel stupid, then there is no point of working with the lawyer. If you are not able to express your concerns, how can you achieve the desired outcomes? Make sure your lawyer gives you the respect and attention you deserve.
6. Choose Local Lawyer
Family law varies from state to state. Choose a local lawyer who knows the state's family law in detail. Also, a local lawyer is familiar with local court procedures, judges, clerks, and other administrative staff. Make sure your lawyer had a valid license and authorized to practice in the state.
7. Lawyer Fee
Last but not least; ask about the cost of the lawyer. The fee of the lawyer varies depending on experience, expertise, and reputation. And the fee of lawyer will give you the fair idea of the skill and expertise of the lawyer. If your lawyer is charging a very low fee than standard rates, then most probably he would not be as good as other lawyers.
So these were the seven tips to find the best child custody lawyers.
If you are planning to hire one for your child custody case, follow these tips to find the best child custody lawyers in Houston, TX.

Befriend Your Self
The Befriend Your Self video series is a collection of online videos that invite you to practice kindness towards yourself. The series invites you to befriend your body, your breath and your mind so that you can come to a place of acceptance for whatever circumstance you might find yourself in. Too often, we fight against ourselves by trying to fix or change something about ourselves or a situation beyond our control, hoping that will make us feel happier. In reality, when we can be present with where we are at any given moment we become more resilient when challenges inevitably come our way.
The series includes more than three hours of guided instruction across nine video-based classes. Mix and match depending on what kindness you want to offer your true Self today:
- Befriend Your Body: a 26-minute gentle yoga class, a 48-minute slow flow yoga class, and a 60-minute Hatha flow yoga class.
- Befriend Your Breath: a 7-minute calming breath, an 8-minute balancing breath, and a 12-minute energizing breath.
- Befriend Your Mind: a 6-minute awareness meditation, a 10-minute focus meditation, and a 15-minute embodied energy meditation
- PLUS a downloadable workbook with journaling prompts to deepen your connection to Self.
Befriend Your Body
Befriending your body can be tough. In our society, we're basically taught not to. But let's try something on for size here...
Imagine for a moment that your body is a good friend. A real pal. Someone who protects you, who takes care of you, who wants the best for you. You and your friend change and grow and shift and adapt to whatever life throws at you. Your body might disappoint you from time to time (I know mine has), but at the end of the day, you couldn't be human without it. You're in this life together. Your relationship is a two-way street.
Learn how to befriend your body with mindful yoga classes that invite you to move in ways that support you.
Befriend Your Breath
How well do you know your most precious resource, your greatest ally? Getting to know my breath and learning to work with your breath is one of the most powerful tools for mindful and intentional living.
When you befriend your breath, you can be reminded of your innate power. When you befriend your breath, you experience your limitless potential. When you befriend my breath, you come to know that peace is always within.
Befriend Your Mind
Tens of thousands of thoughts pass through your mind on any given day. How many of those thoughts are helpful? How many might be taking you further and further away from
Our thoughts create our feelings, which greatly influences how we act in/react to the world around us. When you befriend your mind, you accept that thoughts and feelings come and go. You embrace your own ability to notice your thought patterns and reclaim those that help you develop gratitude, creativity, generosity, forgiveness and compassion. The more we can focus the mind in meditation, the more adaptive and responsive we can be to life's ever-changing circumstances.

Evaluations of Novotel World Trade Centre Dubai
Services was good
Room Quality
the worst experience ever, this is not a hotel where you can do anything related to business // one small example the internet connection is slow as a turtle and there is no paid alternative for premium connection // downloading on2 presentation could take 45minutes at night!!!
excellent all around.
don't ask for any kind of extra service, never works
when I arrived at the hotel I was told that your booking has been cancelled and the hotel is fully booked you have not booked with the hotel, check with the agency. I informed them that I called at 1700 hours since I am in a meeting i will checkin at 2100 hrs the agent confirmed me that your booking is in tact and it is ok for late checkin. after long discussions finally a room was given to me with no bathtub and the water was flooding in the bathroom. When I complained the answer was this is waht we can offer take it or leave it. I had no choice but to accept since i do not want to search for a hotel around middle of the night.
Front Desk staff absolutely incompetent. If I can avoid, I will not return to this hotel.
I had the best massage in a very long time, bravo!
The room equipment is not a DXB 4* Standard, one feels lie in an Ibis Hotel
Centrally located, not in the lively area, but eveything is within reach. Taxi is not expensive and metro station is at the back of the WTC itself. Staff very helpful but not annoyingly present. Guest relations excellent. A good place to be when travelling to Dubai! Would definitely go there again.
First off very happy with the rate we got but the room that represented this rate was very small (family with 2 kids). But then again, for this rate one should not complaint.
I asked for an early check-in at point of reservation. Unfortunately I had to wait 2 hours when I arrived (very tired, as I had a night flight to Abu Dhabi before and then I had to take the bus to Dubai) I was waiting in the lobby. no internet, no coffee, almost sleeping...

I've been to the Swedish capital of Stockholm multiple times now, all of which have been with my family – mainly consisting of following my sister's direction and plans, due to her previously living there for a year.
This time, I was taking Eesh as a Christmas present, thus taking all responsibility and planning. Fortunately, once you are familiar with the different areas of the city that are important for tourists, it can be quite easy to navigate.
I chose to stay in the Elite Hotel Stockholm Plaza, as not only was it a lovely hotel that I had stayed in before, it was also located in the centre of the city.
Everything in Stockholm is within walking distance, sometimes it may take 40 minutes, but its still easily achievable. If walking isn't for you, then the Metro/Underground the easiest and most affordable alternative. The travel cards, which provide unlimited use of the Metro, trams and boats, can be purchased as a 24 hour pass at 130 SEK, equating to just over £10, or a 72 hour/ 3 day pass at 260 SEK, equating to just over £21.
The Metro can definitely be daunting at first, but if you've planned your routes and familiarise yourself with the names of stations and areas, then take your time and it is no different to any other country's metro system.
Our first day involved a walk through some of the main streets of the city, before getting the Metro over to Slussen, and visiting the Fotografiska – the photography museum. The Fotografiska constantly changes its exhibitions, and each time I've been they've been pretty amazing. The exhibitions not only provide information about each picture, but information about the photographer, their reasons behind their collection, and even additional videos of the making of the collection. I highly recommend visiting, as like myself, I wouldn't usually go to a photography event, but this was certainly worth it.
For me – someone that loves animals, the Skansen Zoo was a must. It prides itself on holding traditional Nordic animals, and featuring such animals in different areas to represent different parts of Sweden in which they come from. Again, a word of advice is that with snow, some animals, such as the wolverine and the brown bears, were either harder to see, or were actually hibernating… On the other hand, it was great to see the Wolves sprint through the heavy snow.
Another must is exploring Gamla Stan. Also referred to as the Old Town, this a top tourist location, as after all, this is where Stockholm was founded. Thus, what better location to hold the Royal Palace, which is a remarkable visit. Gamla stan is also ideal to relax and explore with its vast amounts of restaurants, cafes, museums and shops. The huge amounts of coffee shops not only in Gamla Stan, but all over the city serves the Swedish cultural tradition of fika. Fika involves not only coffee and cake, but a time to stop, relax and socialise.
However, for those of you that are more into shopping, Stockholm does not disappoint. Drottninggatan is a large shopping area, with a huge street dedicated to retail shops and department stores. The area, of course, includes many coffee shops and restaurants as well.
During our visit to Stockholm we tried to vary our eating as much as possible. Like most large cities, Stockholm hosts vast amounts of chain and independent restaurants, catering to a variety of cuisines. Having turned vegetarian in recent months, it was already going to be a struggle to find food options, and we most likely gave up on the idea of trying the traditional Swedish meatballs. We did however, during fika, try both the Kanelbulle – a cinnamon role, and a Kladdkaka – a chocolate cake.
Overall, the holiday to Stockholm was great. Like everywhere we've been so far, it provided us with an insight into a new and pleasant culture. There is lots to do, and whilst we were perhaps limited to some things with the harsh snowy weather, we would happily visit again in warmer weather to maximise on the Swedish experience. Based on our experience, I would perhaps suggest that it would be better to go in such warmer weather, however the cold time of January did allow us to experience cheaper prices and less busy attractions – always a positive!!
Not many people think of Stockholm as a first choice location for a holiday. I'd like to think that this post will show that the city of Stockholm certainly has unique, cultural attractions and traditions that intrigue the typical tourist. If you have any more questions or would like any advice for travelling to Stockholm, feel free to contact me!
I hope you like this post on my travels to Stockholm, Sweden.

ASX 'certainly expected' to have tough day22/09/2020|5min
The Motley Fool's Scott Phillips says it is "certainly" the expectation that the ASX will have a tough day, following global turmoil. "We've already had some tough falls, the market is at a two and a half month low," Mr Phillips told Sky News. Markets around the world tumbled overnight, some to their lowest in seven weeks. "I've got to say, this is exactly what we should be expecting," he said. "It's what markets actually do, so it's fine. But it's important to remember that they do because it stops you overreacting. "The virus isn't gone, and for those who thought this was the end of it or the vaccine was around the corner – time for a reality check."

The Central Port in Gdansk is the largest planned maritime investment in Europe. The Port of Gdansk Authority (PGA) has signed an agreement with a consulting company, which will support the construction of the port basing on a public-private partnership model.
In 2019, the Port of Gdansk sets new records in cargo handling, but at the same time it continues intensive work on its key infrastructural project which is the Central Port.
In May, the Port of Gdansk Authority presented the final concept of this investment. In its final form, the Central Port will be a complex of 6 to 8 terminals and deep-water quays used for different purposes. Approximately 410 hectares of seaside land will be used to operate terminals of various types, including areas for containers, passengers, offshore operations, LNG or shipbuilding facilities. The investment will be implemented in the form of public-private partnership.
"We believe that the construction of such a complex infrastructure must respond to market demands. We want private investors to decide which terminals should be located here. On the other hand, we want to provide our future business partners and ourselves a professional project consultancy for this task. For this reason, today we signed an agreement with specialists in public-private partnerships - said Lukasz Greinke, President of the PGA.
DS Consulting - is a company, specialising in advising public entities, which has signed a cooperation agreement with the PGA. The company has 21 years of experience in this market.
"We are very proud that we can participate in a project of such importance for the region and the whole country. For many years, we have been successfully supporting public sector entities in implementation of large infrastructure projects, helping to carry out pre-investment analyses, obtain funds and negotiate with business partners. We will work together with our subcontractors: Wuprohyd (Gdynia) and a Warsaw law firm of Dr Rafal Cieslak, which specializes in the issues of public-private partnerships - explains Rafal Szporko, President of DS Consulting.
As part of the agreement, DS Consulting will carry out preliminary analyses (including the feasibility study) and will provide constant consultancy for transactions, covering economic, financial, market, technical and legal issues.
"DS Consulting will cooperate with the PGA for over 4 years. During this period, the company will support the Port Authority in talks with potential partners and also in preparing applications for financing, creating documentation for contracts in public-private partnership with individual contractors. We hope that the cooperation will increase the competence of our team, enabling us to continuously and effectively negotiate large-scale business contracts. Moreover, by implementing harbour projects, our partner will be able to gain more prestigious contracts. Our cooperation will contribute to the Gdansk Port, Gdansk Agglomeration and the entire Polish economy - explains Marcin Osowski, PGA Vice-President for the Infrastructure.

Life can often throw us a lot of curve balls and things can soon get on top of us . Cleaning and simple tasks can seem overwhelming and knowing where to start can have a negative impact on your declutter motivation.
Starting with one small drawer like the kitchen junk drawer can make a big difference to your declutter motivation as you start to see quick results without suffering
Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a clean, clutter free, organized home!
If you're struggling to know where to start to declutter the junk drawer we will talk you through some simple steps
I just want to throw it out there, that it is virtually impossible to organise clutter.
And, the junk drawer is literally somewhere you stash your clutter.
With that being said, it's not going to be easy to declutter the junk drawer and keep it decluttered for any length of time, especially if your family shove stuff in there on a regular basis.
You and your family members may use the excuse that you need to keep your clutter in the junk drawer because it's "handy".
However, it's not so handy having to dig through reams of other junk in the drawer, when you need something in a hurry.
First let's examine the typical contents of the junk drawer!
- Tape measure ~ put this back into your toolbox or sewing box.
- Phone chargers ~ keep at a specially designed charging area.
- Sticky tape ~ keep with the stationary or in a basket where you store gift bags and cards.
- Pens ~ keep with the stationary in a pencil case.
- Nail clippers ~ keep with beauty products or in the bathroom cabinet.
- Random keys ~ keep on a designated on the key hook make sure they are labelled.
- Random cables ~ declutter if not needed, put in labeled ziplocked bags if needed and file away.
- Hair bobbles ~ keep in the bedroom in a lidded box put a few spare in your handbag and car for emergencies and bad hair days!
- Medicine and medicine spoons ~ keep all together in a medicine cabinet, check expiry dates regularly!
- Plastic shopping bags~ keep in a lidded box in the car boot for grocery shopping
- Lipbalm ~ keep in with the beauty products or makeup kit, keep a spare in the car and bag for emergency dry lips!
- Flasks and bottle lids ~ should be stored with the bottles and flasks
- Sandwich bags ~ these should live with the Tupperware for easy food prep.
Every single item in the junk drawer has another home, there is absolutely no reason to accumulate all that stuff together in one random drawer!
I organised this drawer specifically for meal planning and batch cooking after all the other items were returned to where they belong.
If you're looking for declutter motivation the junk drawer is a great place to start, it's a five-minute job which will free up space in your kitchen and will make a big difference to your kitchen space.
How to declutter the junk drawer.
Time needed: 10 minutes.
- Put everything in its correct home
Everything residing in the junk drawer belongs somewhere else in the home.
Tip it all out and go and put it all away. No more trying to organise the junk drawer, just go and put it all away.
- Clean out the space
Wipe down your lovely empty drawer with a fresh disinfectant.
- Take something from your countertops
and storeit in the drawer.
Use the newly emptied drawer, declutter something from your countertops or surfaces and put it out of sight into the drawer. Voila, you've killed two birds with one stone! what have you got on your kitchen counters? What could you put in your newly emptied drawer? Utensils and knives are a great place to start! Food prep is much easier with clear countertops and a clutter free work space.
As you start decluttering the junk drawer you should start to recognise when you start to shove things where they don't belong in a hurry, this is the slippery slope of clutter and the reason most of us can't stay organised.
Having a drawer solely dedicated to "junk" is fooling ourselves into believing that it's ok just to shove things in the nearest drawer or cupboard.
Have a think about the other drawers in your house, do you have more than one junk drawer, if so put that on your decluttering to do list!
Let's break this habit today, starting with decluttering the junk drawer!
Junk Drawer Organizers.
If going cold turkey is too much for you and you can't get rid of your junk drawer altogether you might want to use a junk drawer organizer such as this one to keep all your little bits and bobs together.
Why not put a knife block into your new empty drawer to keep your knives sharp and organised! click on the image to order from Amazon.
you could use your drawer as a charging station for your devices!

The world has gone digital; each viral technology wave has seized the primordial nuances of analogic processing and operations. Multinational companies have taken hold of the virtual world of the internet where impossibilities have been done in seconds, like sending messages at a time to millions of people. These advances in methods have made the engagement of digital resources inevitable by companies, industries and careers that desire to not only thrive but reach more people. It is this reality that ushers Lawyers and legal practitioners into the realm of internet marketing, digital management and job outsourcing etc. This enlightening read brings you information on the concept of digital marketing for Law practitioners, the services available and the reason every globally minded law firm should engage the benefits of this resource.
Customarily, people when they need a lawyer are fast to consult the Yellow Pages, but as you should know, those are near extinct today. In fact, research has shown that 7 out of 10 people who engaged the services of a lawyer last summer had to get their legal representatives. It is all the more likely that today and in the future to come people would naturally head on to the internet first to source out lawyers.
You may yet not be convinced about the need to initiate a web marketing campaign, largely because you don't believe in the actual power of characters and entries on a virtual space. Consider the following details. There are actually four foundational reasons why individuals draw out their personal computers when they are seeking to carry out any form of legal actions. From research it has been confirmed that about 65% of persons would normally ask google what kind of legal step to take, another 60% will engage the internet in surfing through the list of available lawyers, 50% of this sum would go investigate the lawyers via the internet to determine credibility. A good half of persons who are involved in any situation that demands the attention of a legal counsel would eventually go for a lawyer that was directly or indirectly gotten from an internet search. What this statistics helps to do is to further establish the place of the internet in the evolution that has taken place in the operations that lead to the choosing of a legal counsel. Making the need for a superb and efficient marketing campaign online all the more invaluable.
So Counsel, how do you go about your journey in digital marketing? We've got some answers!
The World Wide Web (WWW)
This is incontrovertibly one of the most important steps in harvesting the goodness that comes from digital marketing. You (or your firm) must have a user-friendly, search engine optimized and perfectly dynamic access website. One that will carry not just your degrees, but your conquests, your experience and your strong affiliates. It's important to have a website that can sell your image impressively, while intelligently answering all the unspoken questions in the minds of your potential clients. A good site should carry contact information, credentials, locations, your working hours and your areas of specialization.
Provide Good Content
This is a vital aspect of digital marketing. For lawyers to efficiently promote their brand on the internet, they must provide good content regularly to their subscribers. The help of a professional content provider may be involved. The regular provision of meaningful material may be termed as Content marketing because it goes to increase your client base while establishing your presence and reputation online. One basic approach to content marketing is the creation of a blog that would be linked to the mother website, the establishment of either a Facebook fan page or a Twitter page. When this form of marketing is done in a clear and intentional manner, the rankings in the web for the website would noticeably increase.
Strategies for Social Media Marketing
The internet is a platform that interrelates several parties in an endless stream of chatter. It is wise for Lawyers of the 21st century to have a good social media presence on choice social media sites. LinkedIn is one of the world's best business social centres online that is readily used by thousands of professionals across the world, other sites like Twitter and Facebook can also rake in lots of attention also.
It is guaranteed that even with the lightest application of these guides, in time, noticeable improvements will be observed in your firm, its call ins and business.

If you're bummed about the elimination of the personal exemption, don't forget that you do have some good news to fall back on. The Child Tax Credit has been doubled to $2,000 per child (it was $1,000 in 2017).
If you're a parent, your dependent children can be a source of tax savings. There are the well-known provisions in the tax code such as the Dependent Child Care Credit and the Child Tax Credit, but there's also an opportunity to shift some taxable income to your children.
Shifting income to your children works because the tax rate increases as your income rises. This provides an incentive to shift income to your lower-earning dependent children. Here's how to make it work:
IRS Issues Reminder on Child Tax Credit
Working parents should be aware that the child and dependent care tax credit is available to offset some of the expenses for child care. Six facts the IRS wants taxpayers to know about the credit:
There are big moments in everyone's life. A new birth is one of them. The irony is that most life events also have tax consequences attached to them. When a new member is added to your family or someone you know, here are some tips to consider.

US Navy test 4,500mph railgun with 110 mile range
One of the pioneers on social VR spaces, AltspaceVR, has officially announced that it's shutting down. The fallout sprung from financial troubles and the VR market's slow growth.
( AltspaceVR )
One of the most significant VR startups officially announced its shutdown on Friday, July 28, in a lengthy blog post aptly titled "A Very Sad Goodbye." AltspaceVR says it has run into "unforeseen financial difficulty" and will shutter its windows and doors by Aug. 3.
AltspaceVR Is No More: VR Social Network Closes Its Doors
A virtual reality social network at its core, AltspaceVR has hosted just about any type of socially focused VR content one can think of — comic stand-ups, presidential debates, and just plain hangouts. AltspaceVR succeeded in polishing the inherent interactivity of VR experiences into more communal ones; connecting people with other people.
The company expressed its remorse via the blog post, calling the shutdown a horrendous experience for everyone involved.
"This is surprising, disappointing, and frustrating for every one of us who have put our passion and our hopes into AltspaceVR."
Gerard Gottheil, a spokesperson for AltspaceVR, clued The Verge in on the exact occurrences that lead to the fallout. He says a supportive group of investors gave the company money in 2015. Things looked bright and promising.
"It looked like we had a deal for our next round of funding, and it fell through," he said.
With the deal crumbling, coupled with the "general slowness" of VR's market growth, investors became apprehensive of lending AltspaceVR cash. The company attempted to raise funds but has since run out of time and money.
As of this time, AltspaceVR has 35,000 active monthly users, a number which it saw as a "pretty good for the size of the VR market." That said, Facebook's ownership of Oculus, perhaps the most recognizable name in VR, currently stood as formidable competition. A social behemoth such as Facebook would have easily bled AltspaceVR dry, had it ever come to that.
In its heyday, AltspaceVR managed to host big-name guests across a range of fields: for comedy that it brought on Reggie Watts; for science, Bill Nye; and it even struck up a partnership with NBC for the 2016 presidential election.
AltspaceVR became open in public beta in early 2015, long before Facebook's social VR plans came to fruition, thus rendering AltspaceVR as one of the earliest and best-known spaces for social VR experiences.
Users can access AltspaceVR across several of the most popular VR platforms: Oculus Rift, Gear VR, Daydream, and HTC Vive.
What's Next For AltspaceVR
Despite the shutdown, Gottheil hints that the company won't completely end yet. That said, the future still looks foggy. He says the people who worked on AltspaceVR created "some awesome technology — things that we think will be foundational to the future of social VR."

Jody Scheckter has revealed that he has considered handing back his world championship.
Jody Scheckter has revealed that he has considered handing back his world championship.
The 59-year-old South African, now a highly successful organic farmer, won his drivers' title for Ferrari in 1979 -- an achievement not surpassed until Michael Schumacher broke through for the Italian team 21 years later.
As formula one now grapples with the teams' major fight with the FIA over budget caps and governance methods, Scheckter told the BBC that he is appalled by the sport's leadership.
"The politics that have crept into formula one, and the way that things are handled now, is very, very disappointing," said Scheckter, who won 10 races and retired after failing to defend his title in 1980.
He added: "There have been stages when I have thought 'I am going to give back my world championship' because I have felt so strongly about it.
"Some of the regulations and some of the decisions that have been made by the FIA in the last years I think have been terrible.
"I think the sport's going through a dictatorship that is going wrong, as most dictatorships go wrong sooner or later."

The forgotten faces of fuel poverty
Author: Matt Neal Date: 08/04/2015
Those living in rural parts of the country, particularly the elderly, are claimed by Age UK to be the 'forgotten faces of fuel poverty'. Statistics collected by the Office for National Statistics show that residents living in rural communities are predominately aged over 60 with a disproportionately low number of people in the 19 to 35 age bracket.
The overwhelming majority of rural homes are older, village homes and very different from the picturesque mansions commonly thought to dot the rolling hills. Many rural homes were built in the early-to-mid-1900s and, therefore, lack the common comforts of those built in the post-war era when more modern regulations came into effect and buildings (especially those in towns and cities) were connected to natural gas.
Although rural homes are aesthetically pleasing, living in one comes with additional hurdles when it comes to energy efficiency. Loft and wall insulation are likely to be either non-existent or seriously lacking and many of these houses have solid stone or brick walls through which heat escapes at alarming rates. If the original windows are still in place, they're likely to be single-glazed, have no seal around the edges and be quite draughty. Replacing these can have restrictions on choices, in keeping with the style of the property, especially if located with a conservation zone or having 'listed building' status.
The necessary repairs and upgrades are often extremely costly and many householders can't afford to make them without some kind of assistance. There's also the dilemma of wanting to keep these village homes looking as unaltered as possible. After all, that's one of the advantages of living in the country. One of the major attractions of the homes themselves, aside from their location, is that they have a cottage-like, rustic character to them.
Perhaps the most important modern comfort is being connected to the national grid. 4.6 million properties in England have no access to mains gas and 1.5 million of those living in these properties are over the age of 65. According to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, approximately 55% of rural dwellers rely on oil to heat their homes.
Oil and solid fuel prices don't get nearly as much publicity as those of gas and electricity but they often put a larger dent in homeowners' pockets. This winter, oil prices rose 14% over the previous 12 months - to 65p per litre in some places. Also, many oil suppliers have a minimum order charge, which can run upwards of £325 for 500 litres. In general, those living in rural areas spend up to 27% more on energy bills than those connected to mains gas, which can equate to nearly £400 per year.
According to the Department for Energy & Climate Change, 18% of those living in rural areas are in fuel poverty, compared to 16% of those living in urban areas. To help combat this, in the Government's flagship Green Deal scheme, 15% of each energy supplier's 'Energy Company Obligation' contribution is specifically targeted towards helping those hard-to-reach, low-income households in rural areas.
At a more local level, the Government is encouraging communities to set up oil bulk-buying groups. Buying in bulk can result in significant savings on heating costs, and such groups have been extremely successful in Oxfordshire and in other parts of the country.
Also, the Government recently launched the 'Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive' – d-RHI. This is a financial incentive to promote the switching to, and use of, heating systems that use renewable energy. People who join the scheme receive quarterly payments for seven years for the amount of clean, green renewable heat their systems produce, in much the same way as the feed in tariff (FiT) works for electricity-producing renewable technology.
Although there is some effort being made to ensure rural dwellers are getting the same benefits as those in towns or cities, there's still a way to go.
So, what can the Government do to ensure that rural residents are taken care of and avoid fuel poverty?
Oil bulk-buying schemes seem to be an effective way of helping to reduce heating costs. Something similar for those using biomass fuel, for example, could be as successful if implemented correctly.
A bolder option would be to offer an incentive for older people living in large, energy-inefficient houses to downsize and move into properties that are smaller and more manageable while, at the same time, encouraging them to install energy efficiency measures in their new homes. Many elderly people living in large homes are asset rich, but cash poor. With a downsizing incentive, residents would not only be reducing their monthly outgoings, but they would also have access to the assets they hadn't previously, leaving them with a little money for a rainy day.
Parallel to this, beefing up the Green Deal Home Improvement Fund to make it more applicable to older, rural homes would not only improve energy efficiency generally but would also help reduce the costs associated with living rurally, thereby attracting more younger individuals and families to live in the country.
People who have been living in a rural area for a long time might not realise how much more they're paying for their energy each year compared to those living in an urban setting. Hosting information fairs, perhaps through Age UK or similar organisations, at the local village pub, hall or community centre would allow residents to compare their yearly spending against what it would cost if they lived in a town or city. Such information would also help to highlight the advantages and potential cost-saving of improving the energy-efficiency of rural dwellings, and/or by sourcing energy (heat and electricity) from a renewable source.
The bottom line is that Government incentives and grants need to be more appropriate to rural properties and more accessible and readily available to those living rurally. With a push to eradicate fuel poverty, the Government needs to focus on the parts of the country that sometimes seem to have been forgotten.

You like the Fox Business Channel?
In yet another one of several Reader Mail segments today on Hoboken411, reader Ken hopes other Cablevision customers feel the same way he does…
Urge Cablevision to carry Fox Business
"I'd like to make an appeal to Hoboken area residents who are Cablevision cable TV customers to call Cablevision at (201) 798-6060 and request that they carry the Fox Business channel.
John Stossel has left ABC's 20/20 for Fox Business where he will be hosting his own weekly show but none of us will be able to see it because Cablevision does not offer the Fox Business channel. I called Cablevision to inquire about receiving the channel and the employee was very nice but told me that if they will only add Fox Business to their lineup if a lot of other people request it.
I don't know what their definition of "a lot" is, but I am confident that Hoboken411 readers can make all the difference."

That bring us to last weekend when I FINALLY finished! I painted over the filled holes and I added black trim around the door, to match our house trim.
5 comments:
Haha perfect timing as usual on this post Jenn. It seems like we always have the same sorts of projects going on at the same time! For us, it's interior trim, but trim painting nonetheless. Your garage looks amazing though. So much improvement!!ReplyDelete
Maybe this weekend I'll finally take a day and finish painting our hallway trim. It's a never-ending task!
- AnonymousSeptember 2, 2011 at 8:49 AM
I have the same project at our first house. I painted all the trim except for the floorboards in our old house because I got tired of it. So all the doors and door frames are bright white, but in the bedrooms the trim is still a nasty yellow.ReplyDelete
I'm assuming our college guy tenants don't mind too much, but it is definitely something I will finish when they move out!
You're garage looks great!
I'm glad I'm not the only 1 that has a key hanger on projects. Your garage looks fantastic and I love the car!ReplyDelete
Oh, where to begin on unfinished projects? How about the mirror that's leaning, unpainted, against the fireplace? Or the chair with the reupholstered cushion that now just needs to get painted? Or the garage I keep talking about organizing? Or the linen pinboard I've been meaning to make for absolutely ever? Or the Incredible Growing Pile of Magazines?ReplyDelete
And when you think a move might be on the horizon, it gets even worse. Am I really going to move all of these unfinished projects?
Hmm...this should officially be my kick in the ass before the snow flies.
You did a pretty good job on remodeling your garage. Looking at the before and after pictures, I say it's a lot of improvement. The main reason that people have a garage is to have a proper parking space for their vehicles. But, over the years, it became a storage place for unwanted stuff. Like basements, you can turn your garage into something valuable. You can make it into a workspace or your office. So, give it a little attention and make it a habit to clean and organize your garage.ReplyDelete

Sometimes People Fall Into the Valley When Trying to Climb the Mountain
So the other day I had a client for Calls On Call tell me they were leaving us. We didn't do anything wrong, except for charging them. They were in the process of cutting costs and the discussion essentially detailed that they had some office talent they were paying for that needed something to do and that something was now to include answering their calls.
Now this alone is not unreasonable. We have been a stepping stone for businesses as they startout and grow from not needing office help to needing more than we can provide. The challenge comes in discovering when that change really needs to happen.
This particular client decided that a new office manager CEO type was needed. This is not the typical $15/hour office admin. This was a $70K salaried guy with a lot of ideas and a sales pitch of hope and fear. So our client bit. They hired this clown and now discovered that ideas alone do not make up for a $70K addition to their payroll expenses.
So they decided to cut off their call answering service, their bookkeeper and likely any other outsourced vendor that this $70K Clown admitted to being able to handle. Which in the case of this guy, I would bet for job security he told the business owner he could do it all.
Unfortunately, this $70K Clown is not great at math, and neither is our former client.
The Numbers
We were charging them about $1400 per month to take care of all incoming calls, emails, having a business call and text app on their phones for their crew and a few other odds and ends. We answered anywhere from 225-600 calls per month, depending on the season. This is for a construction company and they certainly have their busy season.
For those of you paying attention, that means that a construction company that built its reputation on excellent communication by outsourcing it was now taking it in-house. If you have ever called on a construction company that "answered' their calls in-house, you know that means they mostly ignored those calls and returned the VM messages whenever they felt like it, if they felt like it. Which is to say, when they needed the money.
So this company owner was paying his $70K Clown more money for lower quality service.
My downfall in having conversations with business owners that do odd things like this is that I start laughing. I literally giggle when I think of the ridiculous nature of these decisions. That turns off some business owners fro some reason. My wife hates situations like this as well, when I laugh at some of her decisions, that is. That's a topic for another blog that will never be written.
Anyways, what is interesting is that in the conversation I had with our former client he mentioned that they really don't need to answer all of their calls.
Say what?!?
Do you hate money?
What do you mean you don't need to answer all of your calls?
Marketing a Lie
The very next day I saw a review this former client posted on social media from a Mike G. that read, "Contractors generally get a bad rap for being poor communicators, but FORMER CLIENT is an exception."
Not anymore, Mike.
Now, this former Calls On Call client is welcoming becoming just another contractor that doesn't answer their phone.
Anyways, to break down the math, Calls On Call, plus a few other outsourced vendors were costing this company roughly $3000 per month. That's $36,000 per year, all included.
The $70K Clown cost his base $70K, plus his burden rate. Let's call that 20% to cover FICA, insurance, training, vacations, etc. Then our former client needs to get this $70K Clown a desk, computer, cell phone, software, etc. So let's call it $90,000 per year.
Now if you take that big $90,000 number and subtract that smaller $36,000 number, you come up with a pretty big difference.
The Truth
That difference comes down to two things, which are very expensive and rarely end up directly on the balance sheet of any business. Those two things are 1) Pride and 2) Fear.
Pride in this case is the fact that our former client has grown. He's been with us for over eight years. He was a couple man show and grew to be a small army of 10 or so. The pride of business owners having office staff is a tough one for any outsourced admin company to deal with. The dollars speak for themselves, but often pride is what rules the decision.
The next difference I mentioned was fear. This comes down to our former client doing some simple math and discovering that he made a bad decision by hiring this $70K Clown. Which means he should tell his $70K Clown to take a walk. But that is a tough conversation to have. You never want to be the one to tell someone that they aren't good enough or that they aren't a good fit. But we as business owners need to get over that fear and have that conversation.
Time will tell how this will all play out. I hope it goes well for this former client. From my experience this will not play out in anyone's favor, save for the $70K Clown.
Sometimes, you decide to laugh, because it will do no good to cry.
If your business could benefit from getting calls from your customers answered and resolved quickly, efficiently and kindly it would make sense to reach out to Calls On Call. Give us a call at (608)210-3110 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Although very rare, if you notice any discrepancy between your booking amount and the amount that has been charged, please let us know.
Rest assured that Pawshake isn't charging any booking fees.
The discrepancy of the amounts is likely due to the fact that your bank/credit card company is charging a (hidden) foreign exchange fee.
Although Pawshake is an international company, it collects the funds from the pet owners in their local currency. However, some financial institutions may still decide to charge additional FX fees (up to 3%).
Despite the fact that this policy of some banks is outside of our control, we feel that this is not fair to our community. Therefore, Pawshake is willing to reimburse you for that fee as a goodwill gesture.
In order to be reimbursed, please contact us with a screenshot or scanned copy of the FX charge from your credit card statement.

My fascination with antiques started with baseball cards. When I brought my first shiny new packs as a kid, my grandfather regaled me with tales of his 1920's era collection he had lost in a flood.
Was there maybe an errant one or two in the attic, I wondered? Well, he doubted it, but no harm in looking, he said. Thus began a days-long quest that sent me rifling through boxes and trunks and scrounging around in the cracks and crevices of my grandparents' crowded attic.
I didn't find any worn or dog-eared cards of Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb, but the treasures I did see up there began a lifelong fascination with antiques. Old lamps, bottles, books, magazines, suitcases, radios – you name it, it was up there.
That fascination was rekindled by two interviews I did recently for a feature story on antiques. Both sources – Angie and Paul Garrett in Montgomery and Robert Heineman in The Woodlands – said antiques are enjoying renewed popularity in part because of the popular PBS TV series Antiques Roadshow (on which Heineman appeared) and a surplus of information on the Internet.
All of this – and viewing the scads of antiques owned by both – got me wondering. What kind of loot have you discovered in your attic? Do you own any heirlooms or cheap garage sale finds that have turned out to be something of a rare gem? Please click on the comments box below and let us know about your finds.

China launched a nationwide carbon-trading scheme Tuesday, solidifying the country's role as an emerging leader in the fight against climate change. The market will initially cover about 1,700 of the country's coal- and natural-gas-based power-generating companies, accounting for about 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year — more than a third of the country's total, China's powerful National Development and Reform Commission announced at a news conference.
"The power-generation industry is in the most favorable position [for the scheme] right now, with the most complete data and a relatively large scale of carbon emissions," Zhang Yong, a vice chairman at the commission, told reporters. Later, the scheme will expand to cover seven other sectors, including petrochemicals, chemicals, building materials, and iron and steel.
Even limited to the power sector, China's national carbon market will be the world's biggest — about 1.5 times as large as the second-biggest, the European Union, and several times bigger than California's (the biggest in North America). "This is an incredibly ambitious exercise," said Nathaniel Keohane, a vice president at the Environmental Defense Fund, a New York-based nonprofit that has helped China devise the scheme. "It's like the Pyramids of Giza." Keohane said the scheme could enable China — the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter — to formulate even more ambitious climate goals in coming years, potentially reaching peak emissions before its stated target of 2030.
The Chinese government will spend a year building a nationwide registration system covering all companies participating in the scheme, the state-run China Daily reported; it will spend another year testing the system. Actual transactions will begin in about three years. "I don't think we should be surprised that China is proceeding fairly thoroughly and methodically," Keohane said. "I think that's a good thing — it means they're intent on getting it right."
An emissions trading scheme is, essentially, a market-based incentive system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It involves setting a limit on total carbon emissions, and then — within that limit — allowing polluting companies to buy "carbon credits" from their less-polluting counterparts, thereby imposing a financial burden on the polluters and granting rewards to cleaner entities.
Proponents say that the system is more efficient than strict, across-the-board emissions limits, and prevents enterprises from shunting the costs of environmental pollution to the public. In 2015, Chinese President Xi Jinping promised to launch the scheme this year during a meeting with President Obama in the run-up to the historic 2015 Paris climate accord. It will build on seven regional pilot programs that were approved in 2011.
Experts say that China is assuming climate leadership from the U.S., which has been retreating on its climate advocacy since President Trump's inauguration in January. Trump, who has repeatedly cast doubt on the existence of human-induced climate change, announced in June that the U.S. would leave the Paris climate accord; on Monday, in a wide-ranging national security speech, he dropped climate change from a list of global threats.
Several states, including California, have shunned Washington's position on the issue; in June, Gov. Jerry Brown traveled to China and signed a nonbinding agreement with Beijing to limit greenhouse gases. Although pollution remains a serious concern across China, the government's anti-pollution efforts — and by extension, its climate mitigation efforts — are gaining strength.
Much of it traces back to Xi's environmental record. "Clear waters and green mountains are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver," Xi once said, and the expression has become standard in government propaganda and state media reports. In October, the Communist Party elevated Xi to become the country's most powerful leader since Mao Tse-tung.
Beijing's skies have been unseasonably blue this winter, due in part to favorable weather, but also because local officials in neighboring provinces banned coal use, despite a lack of alternative energy sources. After natural gas prices spiked — and many people complained of going without heat in midwinter — officials partially rescinded the ban.
Experts say the carbon market's success is not assured — China is beleaguered by limited monitoring and verification capabilities, a lack of transparency, and a politically-influenced legal system. "Putting a price on carbon is the right signal to send in this … blue-sky-deprived world," said Li Shuo, senior global policy advisor at Greenpeace East Asia. "By doing so, Beijing also positions itself ahead of major industrialized countries, many of whom are still seeing climate action as a burden rather than an opportunity."
"However, with the announced system far from as comprehensive as it originally set out to be, much work still lies ahead," he continued. "With the system now expanded to cover the entire country, local capacity also needs to catch up."

Section of Norfolk Coast Path to close for eight weeks
PUBLISHED: 16:17 08 November 2019 | UPDATED: 16:18 08 November 2019
A section of the Norfolk Coast Path between Holkham and Wells will be temporarily closed for surface improvements, costing £201,600.
The two-mile stretch will shut for eight weeks to upgrade the surface, remove a kissing gate and improve access for disabled people, pushchairs and cyclists.
Work will start on November 25 and an alternative route will be clearly signed. Much of the alternative route will run through the Holkham estate and on quieter local roads. The diversion route will run from The Quay, Wells-next-the-Sea, to the northern end of Lady Anne's Drive, south along Staithe Street, along High Street to Church Street, onto local footpaths, then on permissive paths through the Holkham estate.
You may also want to watch:
Norfolk County Council's community and environmental services department and contractors will carry out the work.
The scheme is externally funded by Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) following a successful application from the county council's environment team.

We have all heard clichés like these throughout our lives. While they can be inspiring and comforting, are they really true for everyone or apply to just some people?
When I was 12 years old, my mother managed to get us onto the grounds of Wimbledon the day before the main draw matches started. We stumbled across Stefan Edberg (my childhood hero) practicing with Michael Chang. I studied every move they made for the next 30 minutes, but the one thing that stood out to me more than anything was the size of their calf muscles! I don't know why, but as I walked around the grounds that day watching players get ready for the biggest tournament of the year, I started checking out the players' legs.
Sure enough, all the male players had monstrous calf muscles. Based on this experience, I believed that one ingredient to becoming a professional tennis player was to have big, powerful legs. I assumed that with the right training, nutrition and commitment, I too would someday have calf muscles that size.
But for me, that day never came. You see, I have more of a long distance runner's body. I wasn't built for power, I was built for endurance. It did not matter how many calf raises I committed to doing, I was never going to replicate the same powerful, tree trunk legs of the players I saw strutting around the courts of Wimbledon years earlier. Why?
