Cadillac SRX HID Kit installations are probably the most common upgrades performed to increase the brightness of the stock Headlight High Beam on your SRX. H.I.D., short for High Intensity Discharge, is a lighting technology that uses a xenon gas charged bulb in combination with an electronic ballast to regulate the current going through it. The resulting light of this TD Cadillac SRX 35 Watt 8000K HID Xenon Kit can be up to 3 times brighter than traditional halogen bulbs. Also, by producing certain temperatures, our TD Xenon 35 Watt HID Conversion Kits can reliably produce truer colored light, more consistently without fading out like coated bulbs do.

Usually, Xenon HID lighting is only available on high end luxury cars, but with this Cadillac SRX Low Watt 8000K TD Xenon H.I.D. High Beam Conversion Kit, you can convert your stock halogens to super bright HID lighting too. By just connecting a few plug and play connections and then mounting the ballast in a secure spot, you can experience 8000K supreme brightness in a high expanded field of vision. Also, unlike cheaper HID systems on the market, our TD Cadillac SRX Xenon 8000K Low Wattage High Beam HID systems are backed by a full one year warranty.

Please note, this Low Watt 8000K Cadillac SRX High Beam HID Kit we offer is an HID CONVERSION kit, and will not work if your SRX's headlights came equipped with factory HID lights.

  • Simple Plug and play installation, just mount the ballasts in a secure location and connect 4 plugs

Signal in style with these PIAA Xtreme White Front turn signal bulbs. Instead of the ugly stock orange bulbs your 10-10 Element came with, you could change the whole look of your signal assembly with a set of these custom bulbs. In the case where you are already changing your headlight bulbs to a custom color, then you almost HAVE to change your corner lights too to avoid ruining the benefits the new headlights give to the look of the car. Also, with custom front turn signal bulbs you definitely stand out more compared to other Element, so there is arguably even an added benefit of increased safety too.

Please note, while we try to be as accurate as possible with our listings, please double check your bulbs to make sure we have the right replacement bulb listed.

The New Normal “Sofa’s Choice” Review

The New Normal (NBC) Sofa's Choice

On this second episode of The New Normal, everything flowed a lot better. It was a lot less preachy and more story-oriented. You probably just want to know what happened during the episode, so let’s just jump right into the recap.

The first pregnancy test came back negative, so David, conveniently being a gynecologist, took Goldie to his office to give her a different test in order to definitively know Goldie’s pregnancy status. What’s the result? Well, you’ll just have to read this recap to find out.

Bryan and David begin to get cold feet about becoming parents. Bryan realizes he doesn’t know if he has the patience it takes to discipline children when he finds his favorite leather sofa has been vandalized (he thinks Shania is the culprit, but later, we find out that’s not true). David’s straight friends–all of whom have children–are disappointed to learn David is thinking about having a child; they used to vicariously live through him and his childlessness. Bryan and David think they need to recapture their youth by going to the same bar they met in years ago, but as it turns out, it just throws their ages in their faces.

One development throughout the episode is the bond Bryan develops with Shania through their love of Grey Gardens. According to what Andrew Rannells said during his September 10 interview on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Bebe Wood won her role when she came into the audition room doing an impression of Edith Bouvier Beale (affectionately known as “Little Edie”), so Ryan Murphy decided to incorporate it into the character of Shania. That impression was threaded throughout the episode, which provided an added dose of kookiness. The two also bonded over their uniqueness. Shania is a girl who doesn’t fit in, and she tells Bryan that she desperately wants to be normal. Bryan tells her that it’s better to accept your unique qualities because it’s those qualities that end up making you successful. It’s true.

While all of this bonding is going on, Jane is busy trying to get Goldie and Shania away from David and Bryan. She schemes to get Goldie back with her estranged husband, Clay (Jayson Blair), but seeing how Clay is a bit of a dunce, it doesn’t work.

The idea of people coming together to create a family was more prevalent in this episode with David and Bryan allowing Goldie and Shania to live in their guest house, rent-free. When they once again reiterated that they wanted to be there for Goldie and Shania, the sense of warmth grew. Of course, it only got stronger when the medical test David ran came back positive, meaning they were going to have a baby.

Oh, by the way, Shania wasn’t the one who drew on Bryan’s treasured sofa. It was Jane. She wanted to pin the drawing on Shania in order to throw Bryan off of wanting kids. I’m not sure how that was going to work, but what matters is that it didn’t.

Yes, the first episode was quite preachy, but this episode was less so. In fact, this episode had flow, the right amount of energy, hilariously offensive lines (like Jane saying she used to learn about presidents who owned people who looked like the current president) and a good amount of heart. I always liked this show, even with my tough words, but now I like it a touch more.

Crusaders muster to cull cane toads

Pamela Gray the Tweed Shire Council Invasive Species Officer with a Cane Toad
Pamela Gray the Tweed Shire Council Invasive Species Officer with a Cane Toad Scott Powick

TIME'S up for many Tweed cane toads.

TWEED Council's pest management program leader Pamela Gray will lead a cane toad muster at the Koala Beach estate tonight (Wednesday).

The aim of the muster is to gather as many of the notorious pests as possible for humane culling.

Miss Gray said that the muster was expected to be very successful.

"Going on previous musters we're looking at three or four hundred toads with the wet weather in full swing," she said.

"On a bright, starry night we usually get about 15 to 20 people, if it's raining we'll get fewer. But it is the best weather to catch toads.

Miss Gray said the toad populations around Koala Beach were normal for coastal areas, but the muster would have a positive impact on native wildlife.

"The thing is that a lot of new developments have sediment ponds to collect stormwater. They provide good breeding habitats for cane toads," she said.

Miss Gray also mentioned that in the future it would be necessary to put low fences and native vegetation around the sediment ponds.

"We're working with local communities to ensure the ponds are toad proof," she said.

"Crews will also be running a few more musters over the season."

She added that the toads would meet their maker in the most humane way possible, through the use of carbon dioxide gas.

"They will be humanely euthanised by CO2 as recommended by the DPI (Department of Primary Industries)," she said.

Cane toad crusaders will meet at 7.30-8.00pm at the corner of Bottlebrush Dr and Sassafras St and kids must be accompanied by an adult.

They will need a torch as well as a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and covered shoes.

The muster was originally going to be held on February 22, but particularly bad weather conditions forced a change of date.

Call Pamela Gray on 02 6670 2778 for more information.

Haworth Hobble – Wuthering Hike

The Haworth Hobble is a challenging 32 mile ultra event traversing the gritstone moors in Yorkshire around Haworth, Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. With 4,400 ft of ascent, taking in Stoodley Pike (1300 feet) past the impressive monument, it is clearly not for the feint hearted.

The race starts on the historic main street of Haworth before heading out on to the moors and past Top Withins (alleged location of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights novel). From here it dips and climbs its way over to Stoodly Pike before returning via Heptonstall, and Hardcastle Crags.

The race is 32 miles long but as anyone who has ever done it will tell you it really only starts at 20 miles as you turn at the Stoodly monument The maximum time allowed is 11 hours with many of the competitors taking well over 8 hours to complete the distance.

No such worries for the three Tynedale Harriers who completed the event on Saturday 10th March. Rachel Chinnery, Bev Redfern and Ian Brown all recorded times of under 6 hours, all in good shape and ready to sample some of the excellent hot food provided by the organisers (Keighley and Craven AC) at the finish.

The Hobble originally started as an event for teams of two runners although it now allows solo entries. Ian was entered as a two man team with Les Hill from Dumfries Running Club. The pair had a strong finish to record a time of 5 hours 35 minutes, 64th overall and 9th team. Rachel also entered as a team with friend and novice ultra runner Oliver Bratton (unattached). The pair ran with Bev most of the way and all three finished together in 5 hours 48 minutes which earned them 15th team position and 90th overall from 270 finishers.

All enjoyed the event and despite the long drive and early start would recommend it to anyone looking for a ‘short’ ultra packed with challenging terrain.

Why a Good and Interactive Mobile Taxi Booking System is Important

Nowadays, every other person is using their smart phone or a personal gadget like the notebook or tablet to download apps for better online accessibility, thus making their lives easier and better. Apps are used to order food, book travel tickets, shopping, school management etc. One of the apps that have become very popular for these people is the taxi app.

Why taxis should develop an app to fulfil their dream

Every taxi company should develop or invest in an Uber Android App Clone in order to expand their client base. This will be done automatically because the app will increase brand recognition.

Therefore, if you are the owner of a cab business and are looking for a smarter and cost effective way of working, then you need to get your own clone and make your business dream come true. The icing on the cake is that these apps are not as costly as you might think and if you do your research well there are some amazing apps developed by reputed companies that will guarantee that the app will work as shown in their demo and on all platforms.

The importance of having a good taxi app

For your customers, this is the ideal solution as they will have access to taxi booking app from their tablet or mobile and will be able to book a taxi in the comfort of their own homes. If a rider wants to ride to the airport at short notice or attend an emergency meeting, he can easily book a cab via the app. The cab will pick him up in minutes and take him to his destination as fast as he can, providing a five-star customer service that will also improve the image of the taxi company.

As the fully automated app also comes with a GPS system integrated within it, the rider will know who the driver is, along with his photograph. He will also know the car model that is going to drive him to his destination.

If you want to move ahead in your business then you need to move with the times too. Today the era is the mobile app technology. It is common practice these days for people to book cabs via the apps. By investing in this app, you are expanding your business and taking it forward into the modern era. You also get to stay ahead of the competition.

Get your taxi business moving with the times by getting your own uber android app clone

Make that all-important decision to get your business flourishing and moving with the times. By getting involved with the right company, you can Buy the Uber iPhone App Clone of your dreams designed in a jiffy and start running your taxis using the app that will take you places in the years to come.

You can get your product customized according to your specifications, in the language and currency of your choice and you do not have to worry if you will be able to launch your application locally if your product has been developed elsewhere.

Everybody believes in paying by plastic today and your app will be able to accept plastic payment, hence doing away with the need to carry cash at all times or asking the embarrassing question to the cab driver “Can you please stop at an ATM machine?”

Move with the times and Buy the Uber Android App Clone today; Invest in the future of your business.

Are you looking for an app that is better than uber for your cab company

It is no secret that the humble taxi and cab companies all over the world have been fighting Uber and Lyft since their inception. My view is that sometimes it is better to just go with the flow. They say, “If you can’t fight them, join them”. That is exactly what these dwindling on demand taxi sharing script businesses need to do.

Why taxi businesses are suffering

The main reason any the taxi business is suffering heavy losses is because they are still sitting in the Stone Age era, using manual methods for taxi booking.

With the digital era, they have not moved with the times. Uber was welcomed with open arms all over the world because it has made use of smart technology to its advantage and today, everyone likes smart ways of working, whether it is booking a cab, ordering a pizza or even getting updates from your child’s school.

Wherever you are in the world, taxi businesses have a standard modus operandi; either trying to flag one down in the middle of the road hoping that we might get lucky, or by booking one via the telephone. Both systems may have been the best in those days, but next to Uber they now look unreliable and inefficient.  With the advent of mobile phones, passengers like the idea of being able to check the status of their ride while they are waiting for it to arrive.

Instead of getting into legal battles with these on-demand taxi giants, taxi companies should think about how to use this simple technology that has made travelling easy and stress-free by just using a smartphone.

A few weeks ago, I travelled in one of the Ola cabs, the Indian equivalent of Uber. This was an alternative to the normal and “cheap” mode of transport here, the rickshaw. I was simply amazed at the service. Our cab arrived in just five minutes and we paid exactly the same amount as what we would pay for a rickshaw. I thought this was the next best thing since sliced bread.

Developers getting into the business of designing on demand taxi sharing clone to help taxi firms globally

For taxi companies to fight the Uber revolution, they need a smart app, just like Uber. However to design an app from scratch is not only expensive but also time-consuming. Many developers have identified this hole in the market and have designed clones to help all taxi firms who want to continue with their business and flourish successfully, without being threatened by Uber or other similar apps. These apps are not very costly and any average taxi firm can purchase it easily.

Such an On demand Taxi Sharing Script is designed in a way that taxi companies can compete against Uber and take charge of their business.

For all the cab firms out there, they have two main issues to address in order to beat Uber:

  • Get to customers as quickly as possible
  • How to reduce the time that drivers remain idle

The companies who are into the business of developing these apps have ensured that these apps have GPS integration and mobile signals, which now puts all these taxi firms in the driving seat in a bid to beat Uber.

These days the markets are flooded with on-demand taxi sharing clones that take care of the synchronised communication between rider and driver. They are white labelled solutions that allow the passenger to look and book for rides, communicate with the driver via chat, and track driver locations at all times whilst they are waiting for the ride to arrive. Not only that the app is designed in a way that the admin can manage everything seamlessly just by pushing a few buttons.

Just like the original, everything is automated, right from the time a rider looks for the ride to the time the payment is done, all through the wonders of the smart mobile technology.

Other smart features that this app has

  • The cab can be selected by type, number of passengers and budget
  • Fare calculation can be done easily
  • Users can register their credit card details for automatic payments, via the auto-payment feature
  • Easy registration method, allowing users to register and use this app from their mobiles
  • The drivers have a choice of accepting or rejecting the ride
  • Drivers and log in to show availability and log off according to their personal life
  • Real time tracking feature allows user to see where the driver is at all times
  • Driver details available for user to see
  • Facility for both riders and drivers to rate each other and the ride
  • Can be launched from anywhere in the world, in the language and currency of the place

Today, wherever you are in the world, traffic and road congestion has become a problem for all drivers. Many drivers are stressed simply from driving from one place to another, and many of them are opting not to drive. For such riders, the taxi-booking app is a convenient and cost effective godsend.

For all the taxi businesses who are struggling to hold on to their livelihood, the on demand taxi sharing script is the ideal solution for them. The time to invest in such an app is now. All it takes is just two days to start a fully operational on-demand cab business. Play Uber at their own game and make your business prosper again.

The fairer sex radicalising the future of on demand taxi driving

There are times when I sit in the passenger seat of a car driven by a male, and we come across a car trying to go by but is slow.  Alternatively, we are at a traffic junction, the car in front of us takes a split second longer to move, you can bet that 90% of the time, the driver of the opposite car is a female. And the next thing I hear is my driver swearing something along the lines of ……female drivers!

Globally men do not like the idea of female drivers behind the wheel but research and statistics show that women are definitely the better and more careful drivers. In fact, so true is the statistic that insurance companies in certain countries actually offer cheaper car insurance to female drivers than their male counterparts. Women may be slower at the wheel but they definitely have a lower accident rate and if they do, the damage is minimal. Women drivers are less aggressive, practice safe driving and tend to stay away from road rages.

Female drivers wanted!

Gone are the days when men were considered the bread earners whilst the women looked after home and children.  Today the female population has moved far forward that they are probably more capable if not equal to men in every field.  For every job, the number of female applicants is the same as male applicants, maybe more. There are certain skills that were considered “masculine” and driving is one of them.

Many companies look to hire female drivers because they provide a “safe” picture to their clients. In an era where you get anything from drunk and reckless to dopped drivers, female passengers feel much safer and secure riding in a car driven by a female driver.

Why driving for uber script is ideal for women

The business of on-demand driving is thriving by the day. The concept of being driven around in a car is a catching disease that is spreading like an epidemic as more and more people opt to do away with cars and driving.

Many entrepreneurs around the globe are capitalizing on this by launching their own Uber Clone Script. This has therefore created a need for on demand taxi drivers and therefore a fantastic earning opportunity for women. Many mothers are frustrated, as they have nothing to do whilst their children are at school, which is like a good six hours at least, maybe more. These six hours can be put to good use if they choose to drive for owners of the Uber Clone Script.

These mothers can easily drive and earn during this period because the Uber script is designed in such a way that the driver app can be activated and deactivated depending on when the driver is available. Therefore, once the driver is ready to start duty, she activates the app and deactivates it when she has completed her working day.

Some of these on-demand scripts offer specialized rides like “ladies only” ride, which make it perfect for both the female driver as well as the female passengers.

Other specialized rides that are ideal for female drivers are airport pickups and drop offs or shopping trips and the all female hen party is always a hit.

Another type of ride that is ideal for the fairer sex is the “Kids only” rides. Here, there no threat of being assaulted.

Some female drivers may be apprehensive about taxi driving due to safety and security issues. However, with on-demand driving, passengers have to give their personal details when they register so in the rare event that they assault the driver, they can be reprimanded easily.

An added advantage of working for such companies is that the drivers do not get involved in taking fares of passengers, which can tend to make the experience ugly if riders refuse to pay the fares. The fully automated payment service takes this out of the payment equation, giving a woman wanting to drive that extra bit of motivation.

If you do a decent shift every day, female drivers do earn a respectable amount of money that they can use to add to the household income and put away for a rainy day.

As a female, I say to all those aspiring drivers that let us show the world what female drivers can do and achieve. The perfect job for any woman who wants to have a perfect work-life balance, on demand taxi driving.

Scandinvia welcomes uber clone script with open arms

Scandinavia, also known as the Nordic countries, comprises of Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Sweden, with their associated territories. Many for the price of one if you as ask me from a business point of view! The business I am referring to here is the on-demand taxi business. Since the conception of Uber clone script, many a businessmen are looking to make their fortunes in similar businesses. Like all businesses, if you want to thrive, you have to start where there is no competition or your product is unique.

The Scandinavian territories are relatively virgin as far as on-demand taxi businesses go and therefore an ideal place for any entrepreneur to make his first million is a jiffy.

Nowadays the on demand apps are designed in such a way that they can customise according to where you want to launch it. This means that the language and the currency can be customised depending on the geographical location of the launch.

For a businessman, Scandinavia seems an ideal place to launch his on-demand taxi app business because he can launch it in the languages and currency, related to each Nordic country. That is why I referred to it as “many for the price of one” So if you launch your product in any of the countries listed below then your language and currency will be customized accordingly.

  • To launch in Denmark, language will be Danish and currency will be the Danish Krone
  • For Finland, the language will be Finnish and the currency will be Euro
  • For Norway, the language will be Norwegian and the currency will be Norwegian Krona
  • For Sweden, the language will be Swedish and the currency will be Swedish Krona
  • For Iceland, the language will be Icelandic and the currency will be the Icelandic Krona.

Why an entrepreneur would want to launch business in scandinavia

The investment in the Uber App Script is relatively meagre, compared to other on-demand taxi apps. Minimal investment is what all entrepreneurs are looking for and this is the perfect venture for them

  • A virgin territory, hence more scope for capitalization and minimal competition
  • The original concept of Uber is not so popular here, and therefore your on-demand taxi business is definitely one that would be welcomed with open arms.
  • Taxis here are very expensive. From a business point of view, one can introduce reduced rate on-demand taxi rides and get the maximum turnover.
  • With a choice of many languages in as many currencies, your business is one that would be the only one of its kind offering the on demand service in the various Nordic languages and currencies.
  • The company that has designed your app will ensure that you are up and running in as little as three days, as they will configure, install and set the system up to ensure you are settled as quickly as possible.
  • They will also offer you support for minor bugs for the year, at no cost to you.

Get your uber app script and rule the scandinavian taxi world

The world of on-demand services is expanding by the minute and I am sure you want to be part of that growth. Such opportunities are few and rare so it would be foolhardy not to capitalise on such a lucrative venture.

A meagre investment, no overheads, earnings by the minute at all times, surely you cannot let go off all that, can you? Make your mark in Scandinavia by investing in the Uber clone script and do not look back. I can assure you that will be the best few dollars that you will have invested in your life.

The uber mobile app clone – the ultra modern revolution to locate, book and manage taxis

Uber brought a new concept into the taxi industry. One of using your smart phone to locate and book a taxi from the comfort of your location, and has revolutionalised the way taxis are run all over the world.

The unique concept of simply tapping your mobile device and there arrives a cab at your desired location in no time is what makes this app a success. Prior to Uber, there was nothing like an on-demand taxi app.

The tremendous success of this idea has made waves across the world and the app is being used in all every continent of the world.

It is, therefore, no surprise, that this idea has become an inspiration for many app developers globally. They have all started designing Uber ios App Script and other similar apps like Uber.

For any business to be super successful, it has to introduce a need that is not being successfully met by other businesses in the market. Uber has successfully identified and filled this void – a void that was not being filled by the usual taxi or car services.

Uber has also gone a step further and ventured into specialist rides like Ladies only rides, senior Citizen rides, Uber for kids, and other such different audiences. This is also another reason that has inspired many app companies to use the Uber app script and build an Uber iOS app script.

  • Use of Android and IOS Passenger Apps to book taxi
  • No extra equipment, no extra hardware
  • Cloud-based on-demand taxi solution
  • The passenger can locate the driver location via the GPS

  • Facility of in-app notifications for passengers and drivers
  • Easily customizable
  • Can see real time vehicle position via GPS
  • Passengers get an automatic e-receipt
  • Additional payment gateway like Paypal can be integrated into the system

  • As a potential owner of the app, you can decide what features you want in your app. It can be customized to match your specifications and that too in a cost effective manner.
  • As the app is just a code, it can be designed in any way you want
  • Most companies also offer the buyer to choose their own templates.
  • These companies also configure and launch it for you and ensure that you are completely at ease with the app.
  • The script can be up and running within three days of its installation.
  • If you want to brand the app as yours, that can be done too.
  • Some companies offer free support for minor bugs for a year, while others offer support throughout the year, every day.
  • The concept of uberisation is here to stay, as it is easy for everyone who is looking for a ride at any time of the day or night. That is why entrepreneurs have a vested interest in a business that will take them places all through the touch of a few buttons and a few taps.

Uberise the mothers of the world

They say that a woman is only complete after she becomes a mother. However, she pays a big professional price in her journey to become complete.  Even today, after seeing the amazing achievements made by women, employers do not like to employ women who are in their prime, as they fear that they will go on maternity leave or have children issues like sick children, school holidays and requests for flexible working. Many employers do not support working mothers.  A woman can be a labeled as a perfect wife, a perfect daughter, a perfect daughter in law, and a perfect mother but she will never be labeled as a “perfect employee”
uber app script

The Uber app clone is a platform for all women who are not supported by their employers to have a successful work-life balance.  The one skill all mothers do have today is driving, for obvious reasons. They have all learnt driving simply for their children, to drive them to and from school, karate classes, football practice, music classes and ballet to name a few.

Thanks to businessmen who have taken the initiative to Buy Uber app clone, these mothers can now have the best of both worlds; a successfully fulfilling career and being a mother to her children, the career of an on-demand driver. The only “on-demand” here is for herself.

By signing up to be an on-demand taxi driver, she can balance her work and her home life successfully. The Uber clone app is designed in such a way that the driver can log in when they are available and log off when they are not.

When the children are at school, she can work as a driver and once they return home, she signs off and looks forward to spending time with her children.  At the end of the day, she can reflect about the success of both her professional and personal life and be thankful that she can do both jobs in a fulfilling manner, without stressing herself out.

There is a big demand for women drivers these days because quite a few female passengers prefer to be driven by females only.  Female drivers are also popular because they are considered as “safe” drivers.

If you are one of those who feel so strongly about the plight of mothers, and would like to do something about it, then this is the perfect solution for you. Mummy drivers, by the hundreds would sign up to drive for you.

You will be doing a great service to the international society of mothers by creating employment for them. The most important part is that all these drivers are businesswomen in their own right; their own bosses, working and earning as and when and how much. In addition, of course, number one also matters; you. For every passenger that rides in your car, you get a set commission. Who knows, the fact that you have females driving for you makes your site a safe and in-demand site in the world of on-demand taxis?

Empower the mothers of the world to drive for you.

Smart App that works for All!

Every day a new app or product is launched, such is the demand for these things. With every new app launched, there are thousands of questions about it, what does it do, how good is it, how much it costs, can I install it on my phone etc etc

One of the latest products in the market today is the Uber clone. This is an on demand taxi application very much like Uber, but with enhanced features.  I personally have not ridden in one of its taxis but I have met many people who have and they are all raving about the system. The drivers too, cannot stop singing praises of this clone. In short, I have not met anyone who is not a fan. Even more reason for us to ride using the Uber app script and experience it first hand!

The Uber app clone has been designed keeping the two main parties of a taxi-ride in mind, the driver and the passenger.

For the passenger, the app provides an easy way of hailing a ride from the comforts of your location. All you need to do is download the app and register on it. You are free to look for rides. This way, your personal safety has also been increased in various ways, namely:

  • No more roaming the streets at night
  • Only cabs that are registered on the system will be available
  • You will be able to see the driver’s photograph on your screen, when you book.

The passenger gets an estimated time of arrival, and they will be able to track the position of the cab on their smart phones. Payment is done automatically via credit card on confirmation of the ride. Cash option is available too.

So what is there for the driver? For starters, An income maybe main or an extra one. They do not have to pay anything like radio charges etc. to drive. They have the flexibility to turn the app on and off depending on their availability. They put their car and spare time to good use by driving for the script owner.

As a script owner, you will have to buy Uber App Script, which comes in a pack of three, the driver app, the passenger app and the admin (owner) web panel. You are in charge of the whole system, as it is your business. It is your responsibility that drivers who are registering on the system are qualified to drive and have all the relevant documents.  Your credibility as the business owner depends on the reputation of your drivers.

I am sure you are wondering how you would benefit when you buy Uber Script. Firstly, the script comes at a very reasonable price so any worry about investment is gone. The beauty of this business is that the system is fully automated and you do not have to be at its disposal all the time. The main part, I save for the last. the finance off course. For every driver booked on your site, you get a fixed commission. On top of that you get another fixed rate for every passenger that uses the services of your driver(s), you get another fixed commission.

I would say that the way the global economy is doing, we all need to look at alternative sources of income, and I can’t think of any better than this one, can you?

The admin decides what type of settings, requests, duration, category, payment mode; email and car settings are required when the app is developed. Once the application is developed, a key admin user is created who has the complete right over modifications and customization possible in the app. The mobile app clone works by giving complete rights to the admin user to make changes both statically and dynamically. By using the platform, the admin user earns the money, depending on the percentage commission that he has set.

    • Rider – The rider is the customer who wants to use the mobile application. He keeps track of all the active drivers in the vicinity and requests for the desired cab. The rider can further check the minimum price of the journey, details of price per mile and overall cost of the journey selected from his pickup location to his destination. The rider is informed about the overall journey cost, provided a detailed bill of the journey and the shared booking history in the application. Ratings of both driver and rider can also be kept in the application database.

    • Driver – The cab driver registers for the cab services as a professional driver by registering through the mobile application. The admin user approves the application of any driver. The admin verifies the vehicle registration and driver license before approving the specific driver. The driver can further select any user directly with the mobile application and update the status of pickup or rejection of any specific booking or customer drop off. However all the booking history and status of the bookings along with payments is also maintained in the driver account, which is stored in app database.

John Smiths wheelchair is returned !

John Smith has his wheelchair back at last. Para-athlete John Smith, who competes in the T54 classification, said the chair was taken from his van outside his house in Kent.

John didn't hang about and turned to Facebook immediately to report the loss of his wheelchair and the knock-on effect was meaning that he would not be able to attend the the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

The local constabulary was investigating the theft of the wheelchair from outside his home in West Kingsdown near Sevenoaks. "The wheelchair had been stored inside a locked van," the force said. "There was no reported damage to the van and enquiries into the theft are ongoing."

If you want to read more or see a video of John in his wheelchair.

It makes you wonder what goes on in anyones mind when they take an item like this. It's worthless to anyone else and cannot be used as a wheelchair by another as it is entirely bespoke to Johns measurements and needs. Now that the wheelchair has been returned John is back on track for the Rio visit and training is back to normal.

Davey agrees with UN report, calls for Europe to be as ambitious as UK

Green Energy - Turbines Windmills

Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey has backed a new UN report calling for a massive shift in how energy shift in energy creation, but also called for Europe to be as ambitious as the UK on the issue.

The report - issued at a press conference in Berlin on Sunday (April 13) - has encouraged the trebling of solar and wind power creation.

Mr Davey, while strong agreeing with the sentiments of the report, believes other parts of Europe need to be as ambitious as the UK in moving from fossil fuels to renewable sources.

Speaking with the BBC, he said: "I want other European countries to be more ambitious... We can go green and we can do it in a cheap way. The cost of renewables has been coming down significantly."

The report was created by the UN's Intergovernal Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a body set up to provide a scientific viewpoint on climate change and its impact.

Mr Davey added: "The message of this report is clear. Greenhouse gas emissions have accelerated in recent years due to human activity.

"We need a large-scale change to our global energy system if we are to limit the effects of climate change. The longer we leave it, the more difficult and costly it will be."

Maf Smith of RenewableUK, the country's leading not for profit renewable energy trade association, offered his view of the tackling carbon emissions and the use of renewable energy.

He said: " "When it comes to taking practical action against carbon emissions, the most useful tool in the kit is wind energy.

"It's the most developed renewable technology we have, providing more than half the low-carbon electricity we generate in the UK."

As a beginner in video optimisation, you must know that a properly optimised video is very beneficial for creating a brand image of your product or service. This is the easiest way to get the right kind of audience to your website. So, here are the ten best video optimisation tips to help all you beginners.

If you are new to SEO and are planning to create a video for your website promotion then you need to know the basics of video optimisation and SEO. First rule is to create a video based on a highly searched topic. Also, video creation and optimisation is pretty much like article creation and optimisation because most of the rules that we apply to article marketing are quite similar to the ones used for video marketing. The tips given below will make this clear and I am sure they will benefit a lot of you amateurs.

Tip No. 1 – It is very important that your video content is engaging and interesting. This is quite an obvious fact too. Just think, why would anybody want to watch your video if it is of no use to them. So what you try to do is understand your business niche first. If you can do a few ‘how to’ videos or some ‘helpful tips’ videos then it would certainly be great. Informative videos will make sure that you have a high rate of returning visitors.

Tip No. 2 – Now that you have decided the topic for the video, next you need to decide the theme or the style of display. As an expert in video creation I know there are a lot of effects available for you to add to your videos. It is true that all of us have a little creativity in ourselves but we must remember to not overdo it at times. If a video has too much going on in the background or in between slides, then it may just lose its real message which in turn might bore your viewers. We certainly don’t want that.

Tip No. 3 – This is the most important tip of all and I think every new SEO guy implements this first instead of the two tips that I mentioned before. This tip discusses the basic optimisation of a video before marketing it online. Just like in article syndication, you will need a set of relevant keywords, general tags that define the video, a descriptive title and an explanatory description. I am sure I don’t need to tell you the importance of keywords in the title and description. Tags are very important so you should be careful to get all the important ones in your list. These tags are used mostly in the search engines of the sites where we submit our videos so it is important that we have the relevant tags.

Tip No. 4 – This is something new and I have noticed it recently a lot. Nowadays, people transcribe videos they create. The benefit of transcribing is that a viewer can understand each and every word said in the video. Apart from that, if these videos are a part of your website, then you can a completely original content for your website. See how great it is to transcribe your videos.

Tip No. 5 – Once your amazing video is ready there is just one last thing remaining to do – Sharing. You must share your work with everyone and on all the social media sites too like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. Also while you are sharing your work, don’t forget to create some catchy titles and descriptions for the social media sites. Give the audience a reason to go ahead and click on the video.

Clan Displays and Customs

By Eric M. September 3, 2015

There's an old joke that says if you ask two Scotsmen a question, you'll get three different answers. We are a cantankerous lot, to be sure. When it comes to Highland dress, there are as many approaches and opinions about "proper style" as there are, well, Scotsmen.

However, there is one area where personal opinion, fashion or "what my granddad told me" has no place and that is the display of Clan heraldry. Here's a little background on what it is and how it works.

First off, "heraldry" is a broad topic which includes everything from the full coat of arms of an individual British nobleman, such as a clan chief or laird, to the clan crest badges and kilt pins we are used to seeing. Tartan too is often considered a sub-set of heraldic display. It is also the least restricted.

There is no solid rule about who may wear what tartan. There is, naturally, convention and etiquette. You may wear any tartan you wish, and many of us who are tartan fans have very full closets. But bear this in mind, by wearing a clan tartan you are implying respect and friendship for said clan, if not actual association by blood or marriage. It's a little like wearing the emblem of a favorite sports team; just because you wear a Yankees cap or Manchester United jersey doesn't mean you are a member of the team. It does say "I support these men."

 Black Watch Tartan

To be polite and honorable, at least know the name of the clan if you wear their tartan. You may even want to look up a little history about them. A classic example of why this is a good idea is Black Watch (seen in the image above). Many people are drawn to this tartan because it is so ubiquitous. It is also quite handsome in a simple way -- easy to wear. However, here at the shop we regularly advise our customers to be aware of the tartan's history and associations before selecting it. Many do not know it is also the Campbell tartan, or that British troops wearing it were involved in certain nasty events in Scotland and Ireland. Bottom line: if you wear a clan tartan, wear it with respect.

While wearing clan tartan does not fully imply loyalty to the clan or its chief, wearing clan symbols does. This is where casual convention lets go and rules of British heraldry come into play.

Stewart Clan Crest  MacDonald Clan Crest

The most common clan symbol is the belted crest badge or "clansman's badge": the chiefs crest encircled with a strap and buckle bearing the chief’s motto or slogan. We always assume the crest and motto are a group thing - the possession of the whole clan. However, according to the ancient rules of heraldry, as enforced by the office of the Lord Lyon in Scotland, these symbols literally belong to one man -- the chief. The heraldic belt surrounding them symbolizes loyalty. In other words, if you wear this symbol, you are literally proclaiming loyalty to the chief of the clan. You may bear the same last name, or the name of a recognized sept of the clan, or simply feel a sense of pride due to a genealogical connection. All fine reasons so long as you are sincere.  We carry many different clan crested items for our customers who choose to display their clan badge.

But what about other forms of heraldry? Essentially, the belted clansman's badge is the only form of Scottish heraldry you should be wearing or displaying. Unless of course you are A. a clan chief (in which case, why are you reading this article?) or B. a regional supporting chief or chief of a clan branch.

Clan Chief Badge                      Chief of Clan Hay

Clan chiefs alone have the right to wear their crests as badges either "simpliciter" (by themselves without other decorations) or surrounded with a plain circlet inscribed with his motto or slogan. They may also choose to display three eagle’s feathers in silver behind the circlet (see image above). This particular ornament theoretically harkens back to battlefield dress; you could spot your chief on the field, even from a distance, by looking for the feathers sticking out of the top of his bonnet. Very handy.

Heads of large branches of a Clan, who have been appointed by the clan chief and officially recognized as chiefs by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, may wear either their own personal crest or their clan chief’s crest within a plain circlet inscribed with the motto. They may display two small eagles' feathers instead of the Chief’s three. Here in North America, this is a display you might actually see at a large Celtic event since many clans have regional chiefs to assist in managing clan affairs.

However, it also means that if you meet someone at an event wearing this regalia and they are obviously not a chief, something is amiss.  Sadly, this sort of thing does occur at larger festivals or fairs where some of the attendees are either new to Highland dress or are costuming themselves based on media images of highlanders. In such an event, you may want to politely, and in a private spot, inform the person that they are making an embarrassing mistake. It shows a certain lack of respect both for the chief as well as for the clan as a whole. Chances are, their natural sense of Celtic honor will kick in and they will apologize.

So be positive -- just as you would want to help out a new young person who is wearing a kilt backwards or wearing a woman's sash. You can educate them while expressing your appreciation that they clearly want to show pride in the clan. Show them how in a friendly manner and you will have made an ally. Heck, they might even end up volunteering at your clan table at the next festival or buying the next pint.

To all of you, American girls, it's sad to
Imagine a world without you
American girls I'd like to
Be part of the world around you
Driving a car by the seaside
Watching the world from the bright side

To all of you, American girls in the movies
No one can tell where your heart is
American girls like dollies
With shiny smiles and plastic bodies
I wish I had... An American, girlfriend

I cry sometimes, walking around my own place
Wondering why she cries sometimes
Talking about her own place
Somewhere around the mountains
No one could dry her fountain
Till she got tired to complain
That's when I fly to the wildland, to your land... To your land

About Alyce Stick

Butternut was part of my childhood when my family stayed at a local inn whose owners had sold the property to Bette Davis in 1938 and later bought it back from her in 1958.

Alyce Stick purchased this house in 1978

Why Alyce Stick chose White Mountains

Butternut is fabulously located in a picture-perfect New England town amidst all the year-round pleasures that the White Mountains have to offer. But its irresistable magic is the character that perfectly reflects the famous woman who built it...bold, beautiful, elegant, timeless.

What makes this house unique

You will find Butternut far more that a plain house; it has a warm ambience that will make you feel right at home from the moment you walk through the door. The open plan of the first floor is wonderful for sharing time with family and friends, while the private rooms, nooks and crannies provide perfect opportunities for personal time. The lovely grounds of lawns, gardens, meadow,and woodlands offer diverse landscapes to enjoy and a spectacular mountain view as a backdrop.

Wonderful Birthday Surprise!

  • 5 of 5

As a birthday gift for my husband, I surprised him with a week at Butternut! (I told him the day before we left, and even his boss was in on it!) Alyce was quite a help in keeping it under wraps.

The house itself is gorgeous, and the views even better! It was a great relaxing place to stay, even with a active 18 month old. (He had a grand time reorganizing the drawer of spices in the kitchen--hope they weren't alphabetized!) :) We enjoyed hot chocolate by the fireplace every night.

My husband has already asked when we're going back this fall!

  • Submitted: Feb 12, 2011
  • Stayed: Oct 2010
  • Source: Vacation Rentals, from HomeAway
Owner's Response: It was great fun to "help keeping it under wraps" and to hear that Jodi and her family had such a good time. I'll be looking forward to welcoming them back. What a great idea for a birthday or other special occasion, family holiday, or just a well-deserved get-away! Butternut is sure to please all with its comforts, beautiful location, amazing architecture and celebrity history.

October 15, 2014 was a rocky day for investors in the stock market, which at its lowest point dipped 460 points, close to “correction” status. A late-day rally saw stocks rebound, ending the day down 173 points at 16,142. Some investors decided to weather their losses, betting that the market turbulence would eventually settle. Others panicked and dumped stocks.

That, history tells us, was a mistake.

Soc Gen: Active Managers Might Be Responsible For Rise of Passive AUM

Which Investors Had the Biggest Losses?

An analysis from SigFig, an investment planning and tracking firm, looked at how investor behavior that volatile day almost 3 years ago affected their long-term performance. They found that about 20% of investors decided to reduce their exposure to equities, mutual funds and ETFs, with some selling 90% or more. Those were the investors with the worst performance. As the SigFig researchers point out:

“Those who appeared to panic the most—for example, those who trimmed their holdings by 90 percent or more—had the worst 12-month-trailing performance of all groups. Their portfolios delivered a trailing 12-month return of -19.3 percent as of Aug. 21, compared with -3.7 percent for the people who did nothing during that October correction.”

Peter LynchAn Incredibly Powerful Value Investing Framework

The Consequences of Panic Selling Are Almost Always Bad

Reacting emotionally to sudden shifts in the market typically has negative consequences. Investors who tend to panic when stocks move lower are simply locking in their losses rather than avoiding the them.

A recent study from University of Missouri professor, Rui Yao, sought to examine this phenomenon by looking at the behavior of investors during the economic downturn of 2008 in granular detail. Among her findings was that the more vulnerable investors were, the more they tended to panic, and the more they tended ultimately to lose. For example, those who had been laid off or didn’t have an emergency fund were among the first to begin selling. Yao also found, however, that many who were not especially vulnerable yielded to the same “panic/sell” error:

“If you were laid off and don’t have an emergency fund, that’s one thing. But these are people who don’t have immediate consumption needs and aren’t harvesting losses for tax reasons. They shouldn’t be moving into cash.”

So, why would someone who is financially well-off behave in the same way as someone who is economically vulnerable? The predictive factor which linked the two groups, according to Yao, was not a financial variable, but a psychological one: “loss aversion.”

Losing Loss Aversion

What Is Loss Aversion?

Scientific American describes loss aversion this way: imagine a friend challenges you to a betting game (check out: Steven Crist on Value Investing and Horse Betting). Winners and losers are determined by the flip of a coin. If it lands on heads, you gain $20. If it lands on tails, you lose $20. Studies have found that for most of us, the amount you could win would have to be double the amount you could lose for you to take that bet.

Loss Aversion

In other words, the psychological impact of potential losses is about twice as powerful as the impact of potential gains of the same size.

Goldman Sachs: Value Investing Is Dead.....

Prospect Theory: Behavioral Economics

In 1979, psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman (author of highly recommended book: Thinking, Fast and Slow) released a groundbreaking study, “Prospect Theory: An Analysis of Decision under Risk.” That analysis applies loss aversion theory to the financial choices people make, like whether to sell or hold on to stocks during a market downturn. Investopedia describes prospect theory as follows:

“Prospect theory assumes that losses and gains are valued differently, and thus individuals make decisions based on perceived gains instead of perceived losses. Also known as “loss-aversion” theory, the general concept is that if two choices are put before an individual, both equal, with one presented in terms of potential gains and the other in terms of possible losses, the former option will be chosen.”

The Neurological Underpinnings of Loss Aversion

A 2007 study from Russell A. Poldrack, a professor of psychology at Stanford University, looked at loss aversion behavior at the neural level. Monitoring the brain activity of study participants deciding whether or not to take a gamble with actual money, he and his fellow researchers found that the regions of the brain which process value and reward are more “silenced” when individuals evaluate a potential loss than they are activated when they assess a similar-sized gain. Poldrack summarizes their findings in this way:

“We found enhanced activity in the participants’ reward circuitry as the amount of the reward increased and decreasing activity in the same circuitry as the potential losses accrued. Perhaps most interesting, the reactions in our subjects’ brains were stronger in response to possible losses than to gains—a phenomenon we dubbed neural loss aversion.”

What Does This Mean for Your Investments?

It’s human nature in some instances to take actions which are not in our best interest—but the impact of yielding to self-destructive impulses can be devastating when applied to key investment decisions. So remember: Smart value investors base their financial decisions, in the market and elsewhere, on reliable data, not emotion.

How to Teach Kids Problem-Solving Skills

Give them skills to make good decisions

Father and children doing jigsaw puzzle together
KidStock/Blend Images/Getty Images

Whether your child can't find his math homework or he's forgotten his lunch, good problem-solving skills are the key to helping him manage his life.  You can begin teaching basic problem-solving skills during preschool and help your child sharpen his skills into high school and beyond.

Reasons Kids Need Problem-Solving Kids

Kids face a variety of problems every day, ranging from academic difficulties to problems on the sports field.

Yet, few of them have a formula for solving those problems.

Kids who lack problem-solving skills may avoid taking action when faced with a problem. Rather than put their energy into solving the problem, they may avoid addressing it. That's why many kids fall behind in school or struggle to maintain friendships.

Other kids who lack problem-solving skills may spring into action without recognizing their choices. Their impulsive behavior may create even bigger problems for them.

For example, a child may hit a peer who cuts in front of him in line because he's not sure what else to do. Or he may walk out of class when he's being teased because he can't think of any other ways to make it stop.

Teach Kids How to Evaluate the Problem

Before kids can solve the problem, they need to identify exactly what the problem is. In fact, just stating the problem can make a big difference. For example, a child who can say to his mother, “Kids are picking on me at recess,” may begin to feel a little bit of relief.

Once kids identify the problem, teach them to develop several possible solutions before springing into action. Try to brainstorm at least four possible ways to solve the problem.

Then discuss the pros and cons of each approach. It is important that kids learn to recognize the possible positive and negative consequences of their behaviors.

Once your child recognizes several options and the possible consequences of each, decide which choice is best. Teach kids that if they choose a course of action and it doesn’t resolve the problem, they can always try something else. Encourage them to keep trying to solve a problem until it is resolved.

Actively Discuss Problems Together

When problems arise, don’t rush to solve your child’s problems for him. If you see your child struggling, give him a chance to figure it out on his own.

If he's unable to come up with a solution, step in and help him think of solutions. But don't automatically tell him what to do.

Ask, "What are some things you could do about this?" If he can't come up with any ideas, offer one of your own. Remember, even a silly answer or far fetched idea is a possible solution. The key is to help him see that with a little creativity, he can find many different potential solutions.

Help your child practice problem-solving in real-life situations. If your child forgets to do his homework, don’t rush to take away his privileges

Instead, sit down with him to discuss the problem using the problem-solving process. He may have several ideas about how he can do better. Try to reach a solution together.

Provide plenty of praise when your child is brainstorming and evaluating his options.

Once you try a solution, revisit the discussion again. Talk about whether it worked or decide if you want to try something different.

Allow for Natural Consequences

Natural consequences may also teach problem-solving skills. So when it's appropriate, allow your child to face the natural consequences of his action. Just make sure it's safe to do so.

For example, let your teenager spend all of his money during the first 10 minutes you're at an amusement park if that's what he wants. Then, let him go the rest of the day without any spending money.

This can lead to a discussion about problem-solving to help her make a better choice next time. Consider these natural consequences as a teachable moment to help work together on problem-solving.

Examples Of How Pope Francis Hates The Gays

Not that you needed it, but what the hell–I mean heck–let’s run through them all at once, just so we can digest, flush, and then move on.

Thanks to datalounge for posting some of Pope (Arlene) Francis’s immortal viewpoints that aim to spread love and peace–I mean hate and oppression.

1. A Senate vote on gay marriage is a destructive pretension against the plan of God.
From a letter to the Carmelite Sisters of Buenos Aires on the perils of marriage equality:
“Let’s not be naïve, we’re not talking about a simple political battle; it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God.”

2. Gay marriage will destroy the family.
“The Argentine people will face a situation whose outcome can seriously harm the family… At stake is the identity and survival of the family: father, mother, and children.”

3. Gay parenting is a rejection of God’s law engraved in our hearts.
“At stake are the lives of many children who will be discriminated against in advance, and deprived of their human development given by a father and a mother and willed by God. At stake is the total rejection of God’s law engraved in our hearts.” His comment about this being discrimination against children resulted in a public rebuke from Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who said that Francis’ remarks suggested “medieval times and the Inquisition.”

4. The political struggle against marriage equality is war.
“The bill will be discussed in the Senate after July 13. Look at San Jose, Maria, Child and ask them [to] fervently defend Argentina’s family at this time. [Be reminded] what God told his people in a time of great anguish: ‘This war is not yours but God’s.’ May they succor, defend, and join God in this war.”

There are more icky comments, but let’s end it right there, if you don’t mind. My fingers are getting tired, and I need them to carry on, doing OPENLY GAY THINGS!
