Амбидекстри́я (от лат. ambo — «оба» и лат. dextera — «правая рука»), врожденное или выработанное в тренировке равное развитие функций обеих рук без выделения ведущей руки и способность человека выполнять двигательные действия правой и левой рукой с одинаковой скоростью и эффективностью. Обратное явление, когда человеку сложно использовать обе руки, называют амбисинистрией.
Ambidexterity is the state of being equally adept in the use of both left and right appendages (such as the hands). It is one of the most famous varieties of cross-dominance. People that are naturally ambidextrous are rare, with only one out of one hundred people being naturally ambidextrous. The degree of versatility with each hand is generally the qualitative factor in determining a person's ambidexterity.
In modern times, it is more common to find people considered ambidextrous who were originally left handed and who learned to be ambidextrous either deliberately or during childhood institutions such as schools, jobs where right-handed habits are often emphasized or required. Since many everyday devices (such as can openers and scissors) are asymmetrical and designed for right-handed people, many left-handers learn to use them right-handedly due to the rarity or lack of left-handed models. Thus, left-handed people are much more likely to develop motor skills in their non-dominant hand than right-handers (who are not subjected to left-favoring devices). Right-handers may become ambidextrous due to an injury of their right hand or arm. Ambidexterity is often encouraged in activities requiring a great deal of skill in both hands, such as knitting, typing on a computer, juggling, swimming, percussion, keyboard music, baseball, lacrosse, surgery, boxing, martial arts and basketball.
The word "ambidextrous" is derived from the Latin roots ambi-, meaning "both", and dexter, meaning "right" or favorable. Thus, "ambidextrous" is literally "right/favorable on both sides". The termambidexter in English was originally used in a legal sense of jurors who accepted bribes from both parties for their verdict.
In athletics, Jonathan Edwards, a now-retired British triple jumper who still holds the world record in that event, was known to be able to kick with either foot while he played rugby. He displayed unprecedented ambidexterity while jumping off either foot during his competitive jumps.
Ambidexterity is highly prized in the sports of baseball, football, and basketball. "Switch hitting" is the most common phenomenon, and is highly prized because a batter usually has a higher statistical chance of successfully hitting the baseball when it is thrown by an opposite-handed pitcher. Therefore, an ambidextrous hitter can bat from whichever side is most advantageous to him in that situation.Pete Rose, who had more hits than anyone else in the history of Major League Baseball, was a switch hitter.
Ambidextrous pitchers also exist. Tony Mullane won 284 games in the 19th century. Elton Chamberlain and Larry Corcoran were also notable ambidextrous pitchers. In the modern era Greg A. Harris is the only major league pitcher to pitch with both his left and his right arm. A natural right-hander, by 1986 he could throw well enough with his left hand that he felt capable of pitching with either hand in a game. Harris wasn't allowed to throw left-handed in a regular-season game until September 28, 1995, the next-to-last game of his career. Against the Cincinnati Reds in the ninth inning, Harris (then a member of the Montreal Expos) retired Reggie Sanders pitching right-handed, then switched to his left hand for the next two hitters, Hal Morris and Ed Taubensee, who both batted left-handed. Harris walked Morris but got Taubensee to ground out. He then went back to his right hand to retire Bret Boone to end the inning. One Division I NCAA pitcher, Pat Venditte formerly of the Creighton Bluejays, now with the New York Yankees Class AA affiliate Trenton Thunder , regularly pitches with both arms.
Billy Wagner was a natural right-handed pitcher in his youth, but after breaking his throwing arm twice, he taught himself how to use his left arm by throwing nothing but fastballs against a barn wall. He became a dominant left-handed relief pitcher, most known for his 100+ mph (160+ km/h) fastball. In his 1999 season, Wagner captured the National League Relief Man of the Year Award as a Houston Astro.
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Brett Cecil is naturally right-handed, but starting from a very early age, threw with his left. As such, he writes and performs most tasks with the right side of his body, but throws with his left.
In basketball the player may choose to make a pass or shot with the weaker hand. NBA stars David Lee, Derrick Rose, Andrew Bogut and Michael Beasley, are ambidextrous players. Bogut is stronger in the post with his left handed hook shot than he is with his natural right, Brothers Marc Gasol and Pau Gasol can make hook shots with both right and left hand while both their dominant hand is right. Los Angeles Lakers left-handed point guard Derek Fisher used to dunk with his right hand for his early years. Candace Parker, forward for the WNBA Sparks team, also has equal dominance with both hands.
Board sports
In skateboarding, being able to skate successfully with not only one's dominant foot forward but also the less dominant one is called "switch skating" and is a prized ability. Notable switch skateboarders include Eric Koston, Guy Mariano, Jereme Rodgers, Paul Rodriguez Jr., and Bob Burnquist. Similarly, surfers who ride equally well in either stance are said to be surfing "switch-foot". Also, snowboarding at the advanced level requires the ability to ride equally well in either stance.
Combat sports
In combat sports fighters may choose to face their opponent with either the left shoulder forward in a right-handed stance ("orthodox") or the right shoulder forward in a left-handed stance ("south-paw"), thus a degree of cross dominance is useful. In boxing, Manny Pacquiao has a southpaw stance in the ring even though he is really right-handed outside the ring.
In cricket, it is also beneficial to be able to use both arms. Ambidextrous fielders can make one handed catches or throws with either hand. Sachin Tendulkar uses his left hand for writing, but bats and bowls with right hand. There are many players who are naturally right handed but bat left and vice versa. Sourav Ganguly uses his right hand for writing and bowls with the right hand, too, but bats with his left hand. Players due to injuries may also switch arms for fielding. Phillip Hughes batted, bowled and fielded left handed before a shoulder injury, he now fields right handed but hasn't continued bowling.
Cue sports
In cue sports, players can reach farther across the table if they are able to play with either hand, since the cue must either be placed on the left or the right side of the body. English snooker playerRonnie O'Sullivan is unique amongst the current ranks of top snooker professionals, in that he is able to play to world standard with either hand. While he lacks power in his left arm, his ability to alternate hands allows him to take shots that would otherwise require awkward cueing. When he first displayed this ability in the 1996 World Championship against the Canadian player Alain Robidoux, Robidoux accused him of disrespect. O'Sullivan responded that he played better with his left hand than Robidoux could with his right. O'Sullivan was summoned to a disciplinary hearing in response to Robidoux's formal complaint, where he had to prove that he could play to a high level with his left hand. He played three frames of snooker against former world championship runner-up Rex Williams, winning all three. The charge of bringing the game into disrepute was subsequently dropped.
Figure skating
In figure skating, most skaters who are right-handed spin and jump to the left, and vice versa for left-handed individuals. Olympic Champion figure skater John Curry notably performed his jumps in one direction (anti-clockwise) while spinning predominantly in the other. Very few skaters have such an ability to perform jumps and spins in both directions, and it is now considered a "difficult variation" in spins under the ISU Judging System to rotate in the non-dominant direction. Michelle Kwan used an opposite-rotating camel spin in some of her programs as a signature move. No point bonus exists for opposite direction jumps or bi-directional combination jumps, despite their being much harder to perfect.
In [Soccer] or association football, being able to kick with either foot provides more options for both passing and scoring, as well as the ability to play up both wings. Therefore, players with the ability to use their weaker foot with proficiency are valuable in any team. Luis Javier Garcia Sanz, Wesley Sneijder and David Villa are all examples of ambidextrous footballers, but none perhaps as notable asPedro and Hernanes.
In rugby league and rugby union being ambidextrous is an advantage when is comes to passing the football between teammates as well as being able to use both feet by the halves is an advantage in gaining field position by kicking the ball ahead. Jonny Wilkinson is a prime example of a union player who is equally good at kicking off both feet, for example he normally place kicks using his left, but dropped the goal that won the Rugby World Cup in 2003 with his right.
In American football, it is especially advantageous to be able to use both arms. Ambidextrous receivers can make one-handed catches with either hand; quarterbacks can roll out of the pocket and throw with either arm, confusing the defense; linemen can hold their shoulders square and produce an equal amount of power with both arms; and punters can handle a bad snap and roll out and punt with either leg, limiting the chance of a block.
Some players find cross-dominance advantageous in golf, especially if a left-handed player utilizes right-handed clubs. Having more precise coordination with the left hand is believed to allow better-controlled, and stronger drives. Mac O'Grady was a touring pro who played right-handed, yet could play "scratch" (no handicap) golf left-handed. He lobbied the USGA for years to be certified as an amateur "lefty" and a pro "righty" to no avail. Although not ambidextrous, Phil Mickelson and Mike Weir are both right-handers who golf left-handed; Ben Hogan was the opposite, being a natural left-hander who played golf right-handed. This is known as cross-dominance or mixed-handedness. Katelyn Johnson is a famous ambidextrous women's golf player.
Ice hockey players may shoot from the left or right side of the body. For the most part, right-handed players shoot left, and likewise, most left-handed players shoot right as the player will often wield the stick one-handed. The dominant hand is typically placed on the top of the stick to allow for better stickhandling and control of the puck. Players who learn the game in the USA will generally play with their stronger hand in the middle of the stick, thus putting more power into slapshots. Gordie Howe was one of few players capable of doing both, although this was at a time when the blade of the stick was not curved.
Another ice hockey player, goaltender Bill Durnan, was nicknamed "Dr. Strangeglove" for his ability to catch the puck with either hand. This feat won him the Vezina Trophy, then for the National Hockey League's goalie with the lowest goals-against average, six times out of only seven seasons. He had developed this ability playing for church-league teams in Toronto and Montreal to make up for his poor lateral movement.
Field hockey players are forced to play right-handed. The rules of the game denote that the ball can only be struck with the flat side of the stick. Perhaps to avoid confusing referees, a left-handed stick does not exist. Chelsie Homer is also a famous female ice hockey ambidextrous player.
In professional sports car racing, drivers who participate in various events in both the United States and Europe will sometimes encounter machines with the steering wheel mounted on different sides of the car. While steering ability is largely unaffected, the hand used for shifting changes. This is further complicated by the fact that the shift pattern relative to the driver changes, e.g. a gear change that requires moving the lever toward the driver in a left-hand-drive vehicle becomes a movement away from the driver in a right-hand-drive vehicle. A driver skilled in shifting with the opposite hand is at an advantage.
Racket sports
In tennis, a player may be able to reach balls on the backhand side more easily if they're able to use the weaker hand. Perfect examples of players who are ambidextrous include Luke Jensen andMaria Sharapova. Rafael Nadal uses his right hand for writing, but plays tennis with left. There are many players who are naturally right handed but play lefty and vice versa. Evgenia Kulikovskaya is also an ambidextrous player, Kulikovskaya played with two forehands and no backhand, switching her racket hand depending on where the ball was coming.
Although it is quite uncommon, in badminton, ambidextrous players such as Uddhav Naik are able to switch the racquet between their hands, often to get to the awkward backhand corner quickly. As badminton can be a very fast sport, at professional levels of play, players might not have time to switch the racquet, as this disrupts their reaction time.
In music
In Drum & Bugle corps and Drum & Bell corps, Snare drummers, Quads (Tenors), and Bass Drummers need to be somewhat ambidextrous. Since they have to abide by what the composer/arranger has written, they have to learn to play their piece starting with either left or right.
With respect to tools, ambidextrous may be used to mean that the tool may be used equally well with either hand; an "ambidextrous knife" refers to the opening mechanism on a folding knife. It can also mean that the tool can be interchanged between left and right in some other way, such as an "ambidextrous headset," which can be worn on either the left or right ear. As an opposite example, scissors are made specifically for use in one hand, and will not cut properly if used in the other hand. Left-handed as well as ambidextrous scissors are nowadays available.
In knitting, the use of two needles, the knitter must learn to use both needles seamlessly. Several factors also lead to ambidexterity, the chief one being if a person either favors their left hand over their right or if they learned to crochet before learning to knit. In that case, they either use the English method of knitting or learn to use the form of knitting more common in the United States.
Many modern small arms employ ambidextrous design to accommodate both the right- and left-handed operator. This is advantageous for marketing the weapon to military or law enforcement units because the weapons are distributed in a large scale. This eliminates the need for training left-handed operators to adapt to a right-handed weapon.

Coahuila lawmakers last week sent a bill to Mexico's Congress to change the constitution to allow the death penalty for kidnappers who kill their captives. -MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters)
The moral high ground that Mexico once prided for themself is not being reconsidered. Mexico has chided the U.S. for our policy regarding the death penalty. Now that they are actually dealing with the problems they've fostered for so long. Now, they realize the death penalty is a deterrent to crime, and the lack thereof is an open invitation for criminal activity of heinous acts.

In spite of reporting fiscal 2016 third-quarter results that beat estimates, the shares of Commercial Metals Company (NYSE:CMC) continues to remain in a decline mode. On Monday, the share price continued its downhill ride to close at $15.71. Primarily, the decline in the y-o-y earnings and revenue has contributed to the fall in the share price. The share price faces the prospects of further downfall in the coming days due to the reasons given below.
The Irving, Texas-based company reported fiscal 2016 third-quarter revenue of $1.23 billion, down from $1.51 billion in the prior year's third-quarter. The revenue, however, surpassed the analysts' estimates of $1.15 billion.
During the quarter, the company's revenue declined in all the segments, compared to the previous year. The Americas Recycling revenue decreased to $182.48 million, from $225.10 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The Americas Mills revenue declined to $396.48 million, from $446.82 million in the past year. Similarly, Americas Fabrication revenue fell to $385.08 million, from $417.90 million in the last year. The International Mill revenue was $141.44 million, compared to $156.32 million in the year-ago period. Likewise, the International Marketing and Distribution revenue plunged to $319.60 million, from $518.24 million in the third-quarter of 2015.
The century old company recorded a decline in the third-quarter net earnings to $19.33 million or $0.17 per share, from $28.71 million or $0.25 per share in the third-quarter of fiscal 2015.
For the quarter ended May 2016, the earnings per share from continuing operations were $35.11 million or $0.30 per share, compared to $39.16 million or $0.34 per share in the similar period last year. The Wall Street's earnings estimates were $0.25 per share for the third-quarter.
The cash and cash equivalents at the end of third-quarter declined to $483.86 million, from $485.32 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2015.
The fortune 500 steel company did not provide any guidance for the fourth-quarter. However, Joe Alvarado, Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO, stated that the company's fourth-quarter results will be similar to that of the third-quarter. Naturally, this means that the fourth-quarter results will also record a y-o-y decline. Thus, fundamentally, we can expect the stock to remain bearish.
The share price was unable to cross the 17.30 level for the past three months. The path on the downside has the least resistance. The RSI indicator reflects bearishness with a reading below 50. Thus, technically, we can expect the share price to decline further to the next support at 14.
So, picking a one touch put option would be a good choice for a binary options trader. Considering the negative sentiment prevailing in the market, a target price of $14 or higher can be selected, provided a one month time period is given for the contract's expiry.

This is a war, she says, "with so a lot of casualties that we need to contact it by its true name, this war with so lots of dead by police, by violent ex-husbands and partners and lovers, by men and women pursuing energy and profit at the point of a gun or just shooting 1st and figuring out who they hit later." To get to the root of these American crises, she contends that "to acknowledge this state of war is to admit the require for peace," countering the despair of our age with a dose of solidarity, creativity, and hope.

Light the Park!
Category: Festivals & special events, Free event and Kids & family
SHOP FARRAGUT and The Town of Farragut will again usher in the holiday season with the 8TH Annual Countdown to LIGHT THE PARK, presented by TDS.
The event will be held from 5:00 -7:00pm on Monday, November 26th at Founder's Park on Campbell Station Road, near the Farragut branch of the Knox County Library.

River & Rail Theatre Company: The Unusual Tale of Mary & Joseph's Baby
Knoxville's Favorite Christmas Tradition! An original folk-rock Christmas musical by Don Chaffer (of Waterdeep) and Chris Cragin-Day.
This new musical dares to take the classic story at its word. There really is a pregnant virgin. There really are shepherds and angels and foreign dignitaries (a.k.a. wise men). There's a ratty extra room/stable at the inn, and a maniacal, bloodthirsty dictator, whose menacing shadow hangs over everything.
And obviously, it's a comedy. Seriously. It is.
The Unusual Tale of Mary & Joseph's Baby surprises both virgin-believing and non-virgin-believing audiences alike bringing a new sense of wonder and imagination to the age-old story. For more info, visit www.unusualtale.com.
Note to Parents: The musical is fun for the whole family! We recommend the show to children ages 7 and up. We are parents ourselves and would rate the show PG: for mild language. Translation: there are 2-3 mildly "adult" words in the show.
Performances are Nov 21-25 and Dec 12-23. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-unusual-tale-of-mary-josephs-baby-2018-tickets-51652553177

Pellissippi State: Inaugural Tennessee Intercollegiate Juried Student Exhibition
Category: Exhibitions & visual art, Fine Crafts and Free event
Twenty-two pieces by art students from community colleges across Tennessee will be on display. Community college students from across the state will have their art work displayed at Pellissippi State Community College in the first show of its kind. Current and former students at Tennessee's 13 community colleges were invited to enter works generated the past two years in studio art classes. There was no cost to enter.
Seven community colleges had students participate, with 103 works submitted. Peter Hoffecker Mejia, a visiting assistant professor of art at the University of Memphis and a former Pellissippi State student, served as juror, choosing 22 works for the exhibition.
"There's a little bit of everything we were allowing: photography, painting, drawing, design, sculpture, blacksmith, print making, collage. It's quite a survey."
A closing reception and awards ceremony will be held 3-5 p.m. Dec. 7. Three places and two honorable mentions will be awarded, with gifts donated by David Lusk Gallery, located in Memphis and Nashville, and Jerry's Artarama in Knoxville. Pellissippi State also will purchase the winning art work for $500, which the student will receive. The art work then will go on display at that student's community college.

Ewing Gallery: Blurring Boundaries and Mutual Muses
Category: Exhibitions & visual art, Fine Crafts and Free event
The Ewing Gallery is pleased to present two exhibitions for the months of November and December. We will be having an opening reception on Thursday November 15 from 5-7:30 PM in the Ewing Gallery. Some of the artists whose work is featured in Blurring Boundaries will be in attendance.
Blurring Boundaries: The Women of AAA from 1936 – Present
Curated by Rebecca DiGiovanna - More than 80 years after its founding, AAA continues to nurture and support a vibrant community of artists with diverse identities and approaches to abstraction. In celebration of this tradition, Blurring Boundaries: The Women of American Abstract Artists traces the work of the female artists within AAA from the founders to contemporary, practicing members. Included are works by historic members Perle Fine, Esphyr Slobodkina, Charmion von Wiegand, Irene Rice Pereira, Alice Trumbull Mason, and Gertrude Greene, as well as works by current members, such as Ce Roser, Irene Rousseau, Judith Murray, Alice Adams, Merrill Wagner and Katinka Mann. Through fifty-four works, the exhibition explores the stylistic variations and individual approaches to guiding principles of abstraction: color, space, light, material and process.
Mutual Muses: James Seawright and Mimi Garrard
Curated by: T. Michael Martin - Mutual Muses is a two-person exhibition showcasing works by James Seawright and Mimi Garrard, who have been working together as well as individually since the 1960s. Their lives and practice have inspired each other throughout their careers. This exhibition is an interwoven love story featuring individual works by Seawright and Garrard as well as ones inspired by the other and those created collaboratively. Their life of interconnectivity as mutual muses is beautifully explored and presented in this survey exhibition.
The Ewing Gallery will be closed from November 22- 25 in Observance of the Thanksgiving holiday and from December 13, 2018 - January 10, 2019.
Ewing Gallery, 1715 Volunteer Blvd on the UT campus, Knoxville, TN 37996. Information: 865-974-3200, www.ewing-gallery.utk.edu
Clarence Brown Theatre: The Santaland Diaries
After a three-year hiatus, the cult holiday classic, "The Santaland Diaries," adapted by Joe Mantello from the essay by humorist and best- selling author David Sedaris, and starring David Brian Alley as Crumpet, returns to the Clarence Brown Theatre's Carousel Theatre November 14 – December 9, 2018.
A Pay What You Can Preview performance will be held Wednesday, Nov. 14. At the Friday, Nov. 23rd performance patrons wearing an Ugly Sweater will have the opportunity to be selected for a picture with Crumpet on Santa's chair. A talk back will take place Sunday, Nov. 25 following the matinee, and the Open Captioned performance is Sunday, December 2. The production, which is for mature elves only, will have start times of 2:30 pm for the matinees and 8:00 pm for the evening performances. It will be performed without an intermission and will include smoke.
Based loosely on Sedaris' real life experience, "The Santaland Diaries" tells the tale of a struggling actor in New York City who out of necessity takes seasonal work as Crumpet the Elf in Macy's Department Store's Santaland Village. The comic holiday adventure chronicles Sedaris' humiliation, frustrations and ultimately his hopefulness all told though his masterful sardonic wit.
David Sedaris made his National Public Radio debut on December 23, 1992 when he read his essay titled "Santaland Diaries" on the show "Morning Edition." Since his successful debut, Sedaris has gone on to publish multiple bestselling books including "Barrel Fever," "Me Talk Pretty One Day" and "Let's Talk Diabetes with Owls." He also has been a frequent contributor on NPR's popular radio show "This American Life," all of which has contributed to his reputation as one of America's preeminent humorists. Sedaris' story was adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello and premiered on November 7, 1996 at the Atlantic Theatre Company in New York City.
The 2015 production was directed by Jeff Stanley. Calvin MacLean will direct this year's remount.

Tennessee Wesleyan University: The Waltz by Julie Belcher
Category: Exhibitions & visual art and Free event
East Tennessee artist Julie Belcher brings her artwork to Athens, Tennessee through an exhibit in the Muriel S. Mayfield Gallery. Belcher's collection, "The Waltz," features multiple pieces that dance together, creating a beautiful story of rural roots.
Belcher's story places her as an artist from Appalachia and a "dedicated handmade advocate." A self-confessed "appreciator of that which can be made new and useful once more," Belcher co-founded Yee-Haw Industrial Letterpress in 1997, scavenging for years to purchase and restore presses long forgotten throughout the Southeast before the company's launch from her mother's shed in Corbin, Kentucky.
The artist now focuses her energies on her latest press, studio and shop, Pioneer House in Knoxville. There, she creates mixed media pieces displayed in galleries across the nation. She has been commissioned to create art for Whole Foods café as well as illustration of American novelist Cormac McCarthy on featured on the cover of the New York Times Review of Books.
Along her ever-expanding artistic journey, Belcher continues to draw inspiration from her Appalachian heritage and love of the area's handiwork, natural beauty and music tradition. Her latest work is a heartfelt visual combination of antique floral wood engravings from the 19th century and her own hand-carved linocuts of stylized landscapes.
The approach is entirely her own. "Each ink color is a separate block overprinting onto the previous layer," the artist explained. "A slight ink color change or a transparency effect can make a magical transformation and sometimes even I can't visualize what it will look like until I pull the print."
Some of the prints go on to become part of the patchwork, "make do and repurpose" artwork Belcher creates in homage to hardworking Appalachian gardeners and homemakers. "I also deconstruct and sew the prints and use them in mixed media encaustic paintings embedded in beeswax," she adds.
Belcher's collection is currently on display at Tennessee Wesleyan University's Mayfield Gallery, located in Reece Hall. The gallery is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or Saturdays by appointment. To make an appointment please call, 423.745.4600. Julie Belcher will be available at the gallery for a closing reception on Thursday, November 15 at 6 p.m.

Anybody can post a photo online—but not every social-media user has something unique to say. Still, why is it that we get sucked into sunset shots, photos of food that make you drool and images of sweet-looking kittens?
Whether you want to be clued into news about fashion, #HappyStreak, recipes, human rights, beer or simply gorgeous shots of our fair city, here's who to follow:
➞ Milwaukee Photo
Dubbed "the photo-journal of how Milwaukee spiced up my life," the high-quality photos posted here (by an unknown user) document not only Cream City but travels beyond. In the past few weeks alone, there have been photos of the "bug hotels" at Lakeshore State Park created by UW-Milwaukee students and a moody, gorgeous image of North Point Water Tower on the East Side.
➞ DearMKE
If only you could pen a letter to your hometown via one image—oh wait, you now can. That's exactly what Dear MKE is striving to do with its Instagram page. And with nearly 24,000 followers, it's clearly striking a (good) nerve, with fellow 'grammers using #lovemke, then seeing their photos show up in the feed. One recent image shared by Andy Fabitz, a real-estate photographer with Biz Productions, showed boats at Pier Milwaukee Yacht Storage from an aerial point of view, an angle not often seen.
➞ Thekrittabug
Krista Ledbetter's Instagram page is currently on a #HappyStreak. She recently hit day #1000 of posting photos of what makes her happy, in an attempt to see life's silver linings as one works through the daily grind. These range from little things like doughnuts and frozen yogurt to gorgeous nature shots of our fair city. An avid runner, soon-to-be mom and wife and recent first-home-buyer, she also just completed the Boston Marathon (and announced her pregnancy with a very-cool "Baby's First Race" black tank worn during the race).
➞ Well Plated
With an eye for artful plating, and proving she knows the color wheel in and out, the photos Erin Clarke takes of the food she makes in her kitchen are awe-inspiring. Others adore her feed, too, because she's now at 44,400 followers (translation: not too shabby). Erin recently celebrated her 31st birthday by posting a picture of an apropos treat she made (this chocolate-chip-cookie cake) for herself. Thankfully, Clarke doesn't leave aspiring home chefs high and dry: recipes like the Naan Pizza with Strawberry Balsamic Chicken are posted on her website.
➞ Everyday Drew
Milwaukee often gets the rub as a city that doesn't know how to dress well, but Drew Westphal throws that theory out completely. Just a peek at his feed and you can see this guy knows how to don men's apparel like a pro. But this is more than mirror selfies or candid shots he's uploading. By arranging an outfit flat on the floor with fashion accessories—and sometimes lifestyle icons like a book or a patterned rug—and then snapping the photo, he's created a series of artful vignettes. Check out this recent one that curates fun, luxury products for hommes like cologne, high-top sneakers, khaki pants and dress shirts. Milwaukee scenes pop into his feed, too, like this one of him in front of the Milwaukee Public Market on Milwaukee Day (April 14).
➞ Visit Milwaukee
Can't wait to raise a glass at the new "bear garden" (aka beer garden) at @MilwaukeeCoZoo ! https://t.co/lfqWKDg61S pic.twitter.com/7w0gclvNpY
— VISIT Milwaukee (@visitmilwaukee) May 11, 2017
Visit Milwaukee (the city's tourism board)'s Twitter feed is an awesome repository of what's going on around town culture-wise or what you need to sign up for before it sells out. Another cool reason to follow Visit Milwaukee are the very on-point retweets, like #TBT (Throwback Thursday, for all you non-Twitter users) from Potawatomi Casino (where you're asked to guess the year that photo was taken) and an announcement from the Milwaukee Ballet about tickets going on sale for "Mirror Mirror."
➞ Local First MKE
royalroadmke is a very special #health and #wellness facility on #Milwaukee's lower East Side.… https://t.co/l4vok1CfRe
— Local First MKE (@localfirstmke) May 10, 2017
If you abhor chain and big-box stores, then you need to follow Local First Milwaukee's Twitter feed so you're in the know whenever a cool, indie shop opens or there's an event focused on strengthening Milwaukee's ability to support independent businesses. Just this past week alone, the tweets let people know about Royal Road, a wellness clinic on the East Side; and a panel discussion at Hotel Metro called "How Indie Bizs Are Beating the Chain Stores."
➞ MKE Beer Radar
Do you ever wish there was a way to know what beers are on tap at certain bars—before you walk in the door? Milwaukee Beer Radar is kind of like that. The Twitter feed keeps its pulse on what new beer releases are available in Milwaukee—and where to drink them, or which local retailers stock them. News of beer dinners and events (like The Brass Tap's recent 1st annual Barrel Aged Beer Night), plus sales at retailers, are also featured through a series of retweets. There's also a healthy amount of information about the slew of new craft breweries opening up in Milwaukee, which could probably use its own feed given the pace…
➞ Metro Parent MKE
If you're looking for fun #daytrip ideas with the kids, check out these hometown favorites! https://t.co/7TmRwvXJy2 #Milwaukee #Wisconsin
— Metroparent MKE (@metroparentMKE) May 11, 2017
If you're a parent and you're on the hunt for fun, affordable things to do with your kids, then Metroparent's Twitter feed is here to help. Whether it's a day trip or the deets about the area's best playgrounds, there's a tweet about it.
➞ Tony Snell Rodriguez
Leaving LGBTQ data out of the Census means excluding us from the American family.
— Tony Snell Rodriguez (@TonyEquality) May 11, 2017
Some Twitter users rely on social media to broadwast a message: Tony Snell Rodriguez is one of those people. Passionate about human rights, the South Carolina native and Spanish citizen now lives in Milwaukee with his husband and is an equal rights commissioner for the city of Milwaukee. If you want to know about the latest bills in Congress that threaten human rights for the LGBT community, immigrants or the uninsured, or read inspiring quotes about a world in which there is mutual respect, follow Tony.

As a GP I've become increasingly convinced of the importance of sleep, and of asking patients about their sleep habits. I guess I've had many consultations over the last 30 years where 'early morning wakening' has been flagged up and has often been an indicator of an underlying depression. But it wasn't until I read Counting Sheep:The science and pleasures of sleep and dreams by Paul Martin that I began to appreciate just what impact sleeplessness has. From events of international significance, such as Chenobyl, the Shuttle disaster and the Exxon-Valdez oil spill, to personal irritability, fatigue and premature death!
Today's Times has a feature, 'Valium pills, Temazepam and melatonin: I've tried them all'. It's mainly a tale of caution about the over prescription of sleeping tablets. There's also the usual criticism of GP's along the lines of, GPs don't know enough about....(if I had a fiver for every time I heard that). Thus Professor Young from the Royal College of Psychiatrists,
'many family doctors fail to look more deeply at the physical or mental troubles that cause adults to suffer from insomnia'I'm not sure how Professor Young came to that conclusion. I've never had a psychiatrist sit in with me in my surgeries and I do my best to unpack the reasons for insomnia. I freely admit however that the subject is complex and is hardly amenable to the 10 minute appointments that we work to. Good sleep hygiene is a start. The open access web site for patients has quite a helpful article.

My dogs are hurtin!!!
When I walk into my house after a long day at work, the first thing I do (other than dodge my super-excited dog's wagging tail and kids running and screaming "Mommy's home!!") is take off my coat and kick off my shoes. If I were independently wealthy, I'd likely then head to my super-comfy chaise lounge and wait for Enrique, my personal masseuse, to give me a super-duper foot massage.
Aside from the chaos known as kids-and-dog, none of the above ever happens. I'm lucky to have a moment of silence before it's time to start cooking dinner, check homework, tidy up, do some laundry, talk to my super cute boyfriend on the phone, and maybe catch one episode of a fave TV show before getting the kids ready for bed and then finally falling into bed myself.
Our bodies are complicated machines that keep going and going every day – whether we do monotonous and mundane tasks or we push ourselves to limits with little sleep and bad eating habits (like that burger I ate for lunch). If your day is busy like mine, you probably want to make sure your body is working as well as it can so you have the endurance and energy to go-go-go!
It's important to take care of our bodies with exercise, plenty of sleep and a good diet. Not to be forgotten is foot health: wearing ill-fitting shoes can have an impact on your feet. Talk to a podiatrist and you'll find out that shoes have an impact on your foot's bone structure, your legs, spinal alignment as well as causing ailments like blisters, corns or painful bunions which can be serious enough to require surgery.
Take a minute to pamper your feet the next time you have a few minutes. Soaking your feet in a nice tub of super warm water with moisturizers is a great way to relax in the evening, even better if you have a foot spa! Gently rub away calluses with a pumice stone. Purchase a nice manicure/pedicure set and some peppermint foot lotion to soften and moisturize your skin.
If you have any medical issues, talk to your doctor. A foot fungus can get worse if not treated. If you have pain when you walk that isn't directly related to your shoe pinching or rubbing, you should also visit your health care provider!
Keep your overall health in mind the next time you go shopping for a pair of shoes. You want to purchase well made shoes that fit perfectly and offer proper support. If your shoe is lacking in support, pick up a pair of inserts to help out!
Check back often for more information on caring for your feet as well as all the latest on shoe shopping in Raleigh!


text: 2017 Finance Law: the industry sector takes pride of place 29 March 2017 0 comments Share In the absence of a government that should have been formed after the elections of 7 October 2016, and pursuant to the provisions established by the law in such a situation, "a finance law" in small format was enacted by decree of the head of government. As a consequence, and in the absence of a Dahir enacting, in the wake of the Parliament's vote, a finance law based on the draft prepared by the outgoing team, we are left with a version extracted as it is from the initial project. The Tax Directorate issued a memorandum dated January 17, 2017 in lieu of the traditional circular on tax measures. But unlike the circular, this memorandum does not address all the contributions on tax matters. Thus, the provisions related to the extension of the tax benefits granted to companies established in free zones and companies exporting to other operators or businesses are not mentioned. The Parliament has conditioned the implementation of part of the provisions through measures to be enacted by regulation. Other provisions, however, are applicable as of January 1st, 2017 without conditions other than the justification by any means, of the final export of their products. Yet this finance law which appears truncated at first glance, actually implies a real tax shift that is beneficial for the Moroccan industry. It responds effectively to the concerns of many industrial sectors which contribute more or less to the strengthening of our economy's export capacity. To illustrate this, let's review the tax provisions of the Finance Act for 2017. We will only review those relating to industrial activities. The first of these provisions relates to the extension of the specific arrangements for the companies established in the Export Free Zones (EFZ) selling their products outside the free zones provided that they justify the final export of such products. The tax treatment of sales on the subject territory has long been a subject of controversy and tensions between the tax authorities and the operators established in the free zones. The matter has finally been settled by way of court procedures in favour of the tax authorities and the companies involved have regularised their situation by paying tax at the standard rate. The economic rationale now prevails over budgetary considerations through an overall coherence approach. A second series of tax provisions is related to the extension of the "exportation" tax system to certain activities. This is true for sales carried out by companies in favour of firms located in EFZ. Indeed, ultimately these products are intended for export. The same rule applies to industrial companies under the sale of their products manufactured for companies finally exporting. This provision is conditioned by the definition of the activities concerned by the regulation. All the reviewed provisions contribute to finally recognise the status of indirect exporter, and benefit from the advantages usually granted to exporting activities. Finally, the last final tax provision related to industrial companies operating activities that require regulation, will receive a total corporate tax exemption for the first five consecutive years from the date of their operation. Thus, the government partially implements the new investment charter. The world's economic history has demonstrated the leading role of the industry in creating value. When properly led, industrial policies help sustaining growth rates likely to reduce unemployment and strengthen the country's development. Our economic model, for which many claim a revision, is very fragile given its strong dependence on agriculture and climate hazards. Knowing that the industrial growth rate was only 1,9% in 2016 and only 2,5% in 2017 and that the growth rate, excluding the agriculture sector, went from 4,7% between 2000 and 2012 to 1,9% between 2013 and 2016, one can only be alarmed and ask for a serious reflection on the future of our economy. Some might argue that new tax exemptions and other reduced rates will widen further tax expenditure estimated at about 35 billion dirhams. In this regard, it would be appropriate to have a serious and finely documented debate. For it seems that there is a confusion between tax expenditure and fiscal investment. Indeed, it would be beneficial to distinguish, after assesment, the exemptions which constitute the revenues of tomorrow (in this respect the EFZ's experience is edifying) from the expenses that rather confine to annuities without added value for the economy. The application of such measures will certainly give rise to difficulties. But it would be appropriate to comply with the spirit of these provisions which aim at promoting an important part of our economy. Either way, the tax provisions of the Finance law-decree 2017, will undoubtedly strengthen our industrial sector which must be able to ensure its function with Morocco's global businesses, take advantage of the European and eventually Chinese relocations as well as Morocco's opening towards the African markets.

My Story
I started skiing just before my 3rd birthday and used to go to the dry slope at Hemel Hempstead for weekend lessons or to the Alps on family holidays. I've always loved the mountains and being outdoors, so it was a very easy decision to swap being behind a desk at school for training to be a ski instructor.
I love my job! I get a huge buzz from seeing my clients progress and grow in confidence and ability. This will be my 7th season – I've spent the last two seasons teaching in Les Deux Alpes and I'm looking forward to joining the team in Morzine.
Something we don't know about you
I played County level rugby, and still play when I can.
I enjoy teaching all abilities and ages – from beginners to those who've skied for years but want to improve their technique. A good teacher can transform your skiing, your confidence and really help you get the most out of your holiday and your time on the slopes. Having a laugh at the same time is essential!
Languages Spoken

Development and its impact on the environment has long been a contentious issue in India, where lack of adequate monitoring and control mechanisms have led to severe degradation of land, water and forest resources. Mining activities in Goa have not only poisoned its land and water, but also affected livelihoods by negatively impacting agriculture, fisheries and forests.

A team from Mainland High School has an idea to harness wind energy.
Jash Patel, a Mainland High School student, didn't know there was so much copper inside a ceiling fan.
He and his brother, Miraj, of Ormond Beach, took the fan apart for materials they need for an international science contest where they will get mentorship from professionals and have a chance to win cash prizes.
Their project is one of 10 finalists out of 235 entries from around the world in the 2016 Clean Tech Competition.
The brothers will be presenting their idea to judges on an educational STEM cruise from Miami to the Dominican Republic in July. The contest theme is "Making an Impact," and it challenges 15 to 18-year-old students to develop clean technology solutions for real world issues.
In addition to learning what's inside a ceiling fan, the brothers also learned how to make plastic sheets by melting and compressing plastic bags in an oven. They'll use the plastic to make the parts they need for their project, a wind turbine with generator to create electricity.
"There is so much wind, especially on the ocean," Miraj said.
He said he wanted an inexpensive energy source that will harness energy without killing birds, such as happens with large wind turbines.
"It's a small windmill, a cylinder you can put on your house," he said.
In the contest, the first place winner will get $10,000; second, $7,000; third, $5,000; and others, $1,000.
The perfect project
The endeavor began when Joy Harper, teacher in advanced placement, chemistry, learned of the contest. She opened it up to students and found the Patel brothers to be interested.
"I've had them in classes, and I knew they would work hard," she said.
They met at lunch and brainstormed until they came up with the idea. A third student, Darryl Leverett, was on the team but had to drop out because he is 18.
Also on the team is Deonce Roland, environmental science teacher. She called the project "phenomenal."
"It's using recyclable material to make a renewable form of energy," she said. "It's perfect."
Harper said that in addition to cash prizes, the contest also offers the chance for students to be mentored by professionals in a STEM field. They are working with Joanne Anderson, of Brookings, South Dakota, who has a doctorate in atmosphere, environment and water resources, and they will meet more professionals on the cruise. In the Dominican Republic, they will meet with representatives of the U.S. Patent Office.
Miraj said it was exciting when they were notified that they were among the ten finalists.
"We worked so hard," he said. "We don't want to let this opportunity go to waste."
The Clean Tech Competition is sponsored by the Center for Science Teaching and Learning, a nonprofit organization in the Tanglewood Preserve in Rockville Centre, New York. The stated mission of the organization is to encourage science learning and literacy.
Harper hopes to raise enough money for the trip.
"We would love to send them to this science competition to showcase how talented and intelligent our students are," she said. "If we can share with the community what we've learned, that would be really cool."
The brothers are interested in science, and they already have career plans. Jash hopes to be a doctor, while Miraj says either a doctor or an engineer.

Additional Information
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nic j67 from Best dharana top Have previous versions of this top with wider necklines which quite frankly get on my nerves as top keeps falling all over the place and you need to keep adjusting . Just purchased this white one which is just perfect lovely tighter neckline very flattering and the thickness is just right so it is not see through at all. Perfect I will be buying another one.
Date published: 2020-06-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by GirlsCanRun from Took me by surprise I wasn't really expecting to like this top as I thought it looked a bit "meh", but when I tried it on I loved it. As always with SB the fabric is really soft and comfy, but it has a few perforated sections to help it breathe in all the necessary places. It's slightly more fitted/elasticated around the bottom so when you're in a yoga/pilates class it won't ride up leaving your belly exposed which is just brilliant! The sleeves finish just where you'd push your sleeves up on a long T so it's the perfect length for slightly chillier days or even to provide sun cover on hot days.

Rated 2 out of 5 by ChrissyC from Neckline tighter than previous versions I have a number of older versions of this t-shirt which I love. I bought a newer version a few months ago, however, the style and fit has changed. The neckline is tighter and higher and the fit of the t-shirt is a lot tighter and is shorter. As a result, I've hardly worn this t-shirt. Please bring back the older style!

Rated 1 out of 5 by PWils from Not as described I have this top in grey - the grey is made of bamboo and has the neckline shown in the picture - the black one that arrived today is made of polyamide and has a very narrow neck - not the same product at all. Disappointed and will be returning - feels cheap and nasty.

 Is the Dharana Top the same fabric as the Athlete Vest?

Asked by: Anna15011

 Our Dharana Top is a softer, heavier weight fabric that the ultra-lightweight Athlete Vest so is better suited for yoga. If you love the Athlete and wanted more coverage, we'd recommend the Athlete Long Sleeve Top.

The Most Beautiful Beaches in America
Half Moon Bay State Beach, CA
This quintessential beauty spot has all the hallmarks you'd dream of in a Northern California beach—rugged cliffs, dramatic dunes, fine golden sand, and a magnificent sweep of Pacific Ocean. Extra style points for being home to the regal Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay.
Lanikai Beach, Oahu, Hawaii
Outshining even its gorgeous neighbor Kailua Beach, this Oahu stunner is a standout for its white powdery sand and perfectly framed views of the Mokes. It also offers gentler surf for beginner wave-riders.
Barefoot Beach, FL
This barrier island near Bonita Springs on Florida's southwest coast steals hearts thanks to its tranquil tropical vibe and myriad opportunities to get close to nature. Visitors can stroll wooden walkways, bird-watch, and kayak. Kick your shoes off and join the fun.
Table Rock Beach, Laguna Beach, CA
The SoCal city of Laguna Beach is known for its superlative stretches of sand, and Table Rock takes the beauty queen crown for its Instagram-worthy rock formations, tidal pools, and spotless golden sand.
Ditch Plains, Montauk
Surfers have long set their sights on this fabled Montauk spot, but it's not just the break that makes it: the wide sand, gentle dunes, and magical misty mornings here make this a Long Island standout. Be sure to refuel at the famous Ditch Witch food truck, a post-surf staple.
Ocracoke Beach, NC
Follow in the footsteps of notorious pirate Black Beard on this Outer Banks island treasure. The beach here is known for its wild beauty: think clean, windswept sand, grassy dunes, superior beachcombing, and the occasional big wave, particularly in the summer months.
Sanibel Island, FL
Reached via a 3 mile-long causeway, this gorgeous escape on Florida's Gulf Coast is particularly renowned for its seashells, some 250 varieties of which can be found on its white-sand beaches. Post-beachcombing, cool off with a mission fig gelato or mango sorbet at Pinocchios Ice-Cream.
Coast Guard Beach, Cape Cod, MA
If quintessential New England scenery is your cup of tea, make haste for this lovely swimming beach, with its undulating golden dunes, salt marshes, and abundant bird and sea life.
Hunting Island State Park, SC
Head to this semitropical barrier island if you're after a beautiful crowd-pleaser: there's five miles of beach, a host of scenic trails through maritime forest, a saltwater lagoon, and a jaunty lighthouse that dates from 1870.
Cape Lookout, OR
Wild, sweeping beachscapes are the reward for journeying to Cape Lookout State Park, situated an hour and a half west of Portland. Take a walking trail through old-growth forest, join the hang gliders floating overhead like butterflies, or just stroll the seemingly endless miles of coastline. Fancy overnighting? You can even stay in one of the park's 13 yurts.

Americans United is joining in the campaign to celebrate Public Schools Week for many reasons – to honor the important role that public schools play in our communities, to stand up for and defend public schools as places where all students should be welcome and as a way to commemorate AU's history. Americans United was founded over 70 years ago to defend religious freedom by fighting back against laws that would send taxpayer funds to private, religious schools. That history was and continues to be central to AU's work today.
We're still continuing that fight against private school voucher schemes in 2018 – in state legislatures, in Congress and the Trump administration and in the courts.
Private school vouchers are harmful for many reasons: They undermine public education, strip civil rights protections from students and violate the fundamental principle of religious freedom. Vouchers divert taxpayer dollars from public schools, which serve 90 percent of our children, and send that money to private, mostly religious schools. Parents certainly may choose such an education for their children, but no taxpayer should be required to pay for another's religious education.
Across the states, we've tracked voucher bills in 32 state legislatures this legislative session. These bills have taken various forms, including traditional vouchers, tuition tax credits and education savings accounts (ESAs). But no matter what form these bill take, the result is the same: They send public dollars to private schools, and AU opposes these bills.
We have opposed, for example, a bill that New Hampshire is currently considering to create an ESA program and another bill in North Carolina that was added last minute to a larger education bill to expand the state's existing ESA program. We also strongly opposed a bill in Florida, which was recently signed into law. This bill puts a new spin on vouchers – in addition to expanding the state's current tuition tax credit program, it also creates an entirely new voucher program specifically for students who have been bullied. Uprooting and sending away students who have been the victims of bullying and harassment to private schools that do not have to follow the same anti-bullying protections as public schools is an especially bad idea.
At the federal level, the Trump administration has been pushing for new and expanded private school voucher programs since before the president officially took office. This year, the White House's proposed budget requested $1 billion for the creation and expansion of private school vouchers. Meanwhile in Congress, members of the House and Senate have introduced a bill that would create a new voucher program for military-connected students by draining funds from Impact Aid, a much-needed and targeted source of funding upon which public schools serving military-connected students heavily rely. AU, along with the groups representing military families and the schools serving these military-connected students, oppose this proposal.
In states where voucher schemes have been approved, AU has an extensive history of fighting them in court. About 39 state constitutions have no-aid provisions that protect the freedom of conscience of taxpayers by prohibiting public funds from being used to fund religion, including religious education. That was the basis for a favorable Colorado Supreme Court ruling in a case we successfully concluded earlier this year over a proposed voucher program in Douglas County.
AU also recently filed a friend-of-the-court brief (which was joined by allied groups) in support of Montana's Department of Revenue, which blocked religious schools from participating in a tax-credit voucher program because the program would have otherwise violated Montana's constitution. That case, Espinoza v. Montana DOR, was brought by parents who want taxpayers to pay for their children's religious education; it is scheduled to be argued April 6 before Montana's Supreme Court.
Last year marked the end of another case that AU brought with allies to challenge an ESA voucher program in Nevada. The Nevada Supreme Court ruled in AU's favor in a pair of cases (AU was involved in only one of them), concluding that the ESA program violated state constitutional provisions requiring public funds appropriated for public schools to be spent on public schools alone.
AU will continue the fight to ensure that public funds are used for public schools and that taxpayers aren't compelled to fund religious instruction. To learn more about our work, join AU Executive Director Rachel Laser at 2:30 p.m. EDT Friday, March 16, for a Facebook Live discussion with other AU staff members about how we're supporting public schools.

What are asteroids?
Two asteroids and the distant SunThousands of small lumps of rock or metal orbit the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. These are called asteroids. They form what is called the Asteroid Belt. Asteroids are probably the remains of a planet that was smashed apart when the Solar System was formed billions of years ago. They have kept on colliding with each other ever since, producing smaller fragments called meteoroids.
Ceres is the only asteroid that is shaped like a sphere.

Major Mahil proprietor of Belvoir Birmingham Central explains further. "A good lettings agent can guide a landlord through the eviction process by giving them step-by-step advice on the legal process, which must be followed and adhered to in the correct manner, he says. "If it isnt there can be many problems, such as non-compliance, and the courts can throw out the case.
One of the needs of Property Management Troy MI is that they will enforce all of the rules of the association. This includes any type of regulation, and can even include enforcing architectural review violations that some people may commit. Another important need of this type of service is safety. Having a management company will ensure that there is emergency services that can be contacted for any type of need, at any given time of the day or night. This will keep association members and homeowners at need because everyone's safety is kept in mind. Even the hiring of security can be worked through the management company.
If, however, the equity in the rental property is used as security for an additional loan – a second mortgage, for example – then the taxpayer must look to how the proceeds of that loan are used to determine interest deductibility. If the proceeds are used for a car loan or to finance a child's education, for example, then the interest is nondeductible personal interest. If the proceeds are used to improve the rental property, the interest is deductible.
When performing such an evaluation, a cashflow investor will typically look for a GRM near 100 to find a property with positive cashflow. This method can also be easily adapted to calculate the breakeven point where an owner/occupant would break even compared to renting. Considering the full cost of ownership, including those costs often ignored, the price-to-rent ratio and Gross Rent Multiplier is lower than most think. The GRM is a convenient measure of value because it spares you the toil of performing the above, detailed calculation to evaluate a large number of properties.
Select a VMO leader with the right competencies and skills. The VMO leader must be armed with the ability to coordinate and communicate across many constituencies on both the client and the vendor sides. This means navigating through both the written and unwritten rules of engagement.
"There are many reasons why a landlord may need to start eviction proceedings, all covered by the Housing Act, says Zoe Bywater. "A landlords first port of call may be to discuss it with their managing agent in order to ascertain the reasons, and to pinpoint the correct notice and relevant legislation.
"It is worth taking out good landlord insurance which can cover damage caused by the tenants, whether accidental or malicious, says Rosemary Millican. "Taking a deposit from the tenant is always advisable – but claiming deductions from the deposit can prove difficult if you do not have a good quality inventory and statement of condition signed by the tenant at the start of the tenancy.
When you've found a condo that meets your specifications, all you need to do is book the week or season when you plan to travel. Rates are usually different for off-season and in season, so check into the cost differences before you decide. There are pros and cons for going during the prime season or the off times when the places are less filled with tourists. It all depends on your preferences and schedule. In order to lease a place, you'll need to put down a deposit and fill out an application. After that, it's all set. Not so difficult after all, right?
Proprietor of Belvoir Macclesfield Rosemary Millican agrees and adds, "It is vitally important to ensure that the price is right too. A good agent will give you a realistic valuation, but it may also be worth doing your own research of what is currently available to let in the local area, via the property portals.
