How to travel for free (without feeling like a tramp)

How to travel for free (without feeling like a tramp)

5 places to visit if you want your dreams to come true
Curie Museum in Paris – a radioactive tour you take voluntarily

There are some great ways to travel for free, and they don’t even include sleeping in roadside ditches, eating from trash cans or begging on the street! Depending on how much free time you have and how well you can tolerate temporary poverty, you might choose to try only some of the following personally tested ideas (which will help you travel on the cheap, but not entirely for free). You should also bear in mind that there are some things that will never be free, like visas (“Hey, Mr. Border Official, can I work for a day at the border in exchange for a free visa?” won’t get you into many countries…).

Use free offline maps and navigation

In the past, using your smartphone for navigation abroad could easily cost as much as a month’s rent, but now you don’t need to pay for roaming fees and paper maps, because you can get it all free and offline. Apps like Google Maps (download the offline area you want to use in advance) and are making the life of the traveler easier and cheaper. I’ve found that takes less memory, works faster and has offline maps for countries where Google Maps doesn’t work well (Thailand, for example). Both apps have perfect offline navigation – I’ve used them to navigate while walking, cycling and driving.

Use Google Translate offline for free

No more will you have to spend money on a local guide only because you don’t understand the local language! Since 2016, Google Translate has been available offline for both Android and iOS. You can use it to translate text to text, speech to text, text to speech, and even draw letters or characters on the screen with your finger. The ultra-useful Word Lens lets you hold your camera over a menu, sign or other item with foreign writing and instantly read the translation (all available languages are here).

Meet a free local guide

Global Greeters is one of my favorite online platforms, offering you the chance to see the city accompanied by a local volunteer. You usually have to book a guide in advance, and it’s worth searching at least two weeks ahead to make sure you find someone who’s available. You are paired with a local based on your interests, and your guide will craft a walk around the city specifically for you. Unlike those organized free tours you see around most cities these days, no tips are expected at the end. It’s a good idea to stock up on good karma and become a volunteer guide in your home city.

Find free accommodation

There are several ways to find free accommodation around the world. One option is to use sites like Couchsurfing and Hospitality Club, where millions of hospitable users from all over the world will offer you their homes while you visit their city or village. In exchange, you give them your friendship, nice conversations and – usually – a cooked meal from your country. You can also register on one of the many home exchange, house-sitting and pet-sitting websites, which give you the chance to exchange your home for somebody elses.

Another option: if youre traveling from one city to another, take the night train/bus. You’ll save money on a night’s accommodation and will have more time to walk around the city the next day.

You can also swap your expertise or an item you no longer need for a night at a B&B. Every fall in Italy, during Barter Week, you can exchange goods and services for your stay in a vast number of Italian bed & breakfasts.

Join a free walking/food/cultural tour

Free tours are now available all over the world and are a great way to discover a new city and mingle with the current community of travelers there. Free walking tours are most common, but there are also free food tours, free hiking tours, free roller-blade tours, etc. Just type “free tour [city]” into Google and read the details. Although they’re labeled ‘free’, these tours usually end up with an invitation to leave a tip for the guide. Given they usually last two to three hours, we reckon that’s fair enough.

Work for free accommodation and food

This is a popular means of not only surviving but actually having the time of your life abroad. Workaway, WWOOF and many more websites offer you the opportunity to work as a volunteer in exchange for a bed and food. These programs rarely involve a 40-hour working week, so you’ll have plenty of time to explore your surroundings.

See museums for free

Almost every museum in the world has a free admission day (for example, every second Thursday of the month). Check it out and take the opportunity, if possible.

Some of the most popular attractions in the world are free. Like, always free. The Staten Island Ferry in New York is the perfect way to enjoy the panorama of Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, the Hudson River and Manhattan. The British Museum in London not only displays some of the worlds greatest treasures, but is also free and allows photography inside. The Berlin Wall Memorial in Berlin, the Berardo Museum in Lisbon (with works by Dali, Picasso and Andy Warhol), the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London are also on the list.

>>> A list of the best free museums and galleries in London (they are more than 20!)

Since 2015, on every first Sunday of the month all public museums and galleries in Italy are free, including the Colosseum, Uffizi Gallery and Pompeii Ruins. Of course, you’ll have to wait in longer than usual lines on these free days.

Apply for exchange programs

Every country has a bunch of exchange programs that let you live (and usually study) in another country for a certain period of time without having to pay for anything. The countries of the EU, for example, have Erasmus, Erasmus Mundus, Leonardo, EVS and smaller-scale projects that can take you to any part of the world, offering decent grants to help you get by while you’re over there.

Take advantage of your birthday

Traveling on your birthday is worth it. Wherever you go, many sights of interest around the world offer special birthday discounts. For example: you can ride the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway to Table Mountain above Cape Town for free. Even if you can’t see an advertised birthday offer at the attraction you’re visiting, it’s worth asking if they can do anything to make your special day that little bit more special.

Eat for free (but pay for the drinks)

There are several places in Paris that will gladly serve your drink with free food (like couscous, fried clams or a tapas-style snack) – bar La Cordonnerie, bar Le Grenier and the oriental Le Tribal Cafe to name a few. Bars in Milan and many cities in northern Italy offer the so-called ‘aperitivo hour’ (look for the sign). Usually after 7 pm when you order a cocktail in a bar, you’ll get free access to a buffet table with bites.

Hitchhike (including on a bike)

So much has been said about hitchhiking as a free transport tool that the only relevant thing here is to point to people like Tomislav Perko (and his 50,000 km of hitchhiking around the world) as inspiration. Oh, and you might not know this: as a tourist in Amsterdam, you can hitchhike on a local’s bicycle (just look for the ‘Yellow Backie’). If you’re a newbie looking to grab a ride on the hitchhiking bandwagon, read our Beginner’s guide to hitchhiking.

    This is an awesome post! Iv’e heard of many of these options and tried Couchsurfing a few times with some amazing stores to tell. Sometimes the free walking tours are even better than the paid for ones!Never heard of Global Greeters before, will definitely check it out!

    • comment-avatar

      I like Global Greeters even more than the free tours because you have a local, only for you, and you can discuss more about the mentality and culture of the place than the sites.

    Google translate has been a life saver. This was especially true when we headed out into rural Russia. Finding a translator is not only very difficult but also extremely expensive!

    I am actually already using lots of your tips: couchsurfing, free walking tours, … Never considered eating for free though 😉

  • comment-avatar

    Global Greeters sounds very interesting. I’ll give that a try on my next trip.

  • comment-avatar

    There are some really great tips here! Travel doesn\t have to be expensive and actually, many of these tips will probably lead to a more authentic experience anyway! 🙂

  • comment-avatar

    These tips are incredibly handy! I know a lot of airlines will also upgrade you if you fly on your birthday (if you ask very, very nicely). I hadn’t heard of before so will have to look into using that instead of Google Maps!

      I haven’t thought of asking an upgrade on my birthday, I have to do it because I’m always abroad on my birthday! 🙂

    Awesome ideas! Paris also does the “free museums on the first Sunday of the month” thing. I wish the USA (particularly NYC) would get on board with that – it’s so wonderful for natives and tourists alike.

  • comment-avatar

    Great advice! Everywhere we travel, we try to take advantage of all the free stuff to do in the area, just to make more of our trip, and have more money left over for eating out and having some drinks! Many museums in the US also have free days, like the 2nd Tuesday of the month, or something like that, which is a great way to see more, and spend less!

  • comment-avatar

    Thanks for the tips girl! Traveling for free is always good ;). I would actually love to try hitchhiking once and also couch surfing seems like an awesome adventure! I’m planning on volunteering for my next trip, so let’s see!

  • comment-avatar

    Nice ideas for sure! The airline upgrades do help at times but not always :)…

    Great tips, thanks! I loved the one about Italian Barter week, will definitely check it out.

    I thought this post was going to be about asking people to give you trips for free. I am glad to see that it’s good, old-fashioned digging for deals. Thanks!

4FRONT film services, inc.

merging strategic public relations and audio-visual storytelling

... LONG FORM BIO, kendra black ::

Kendra Black is a national award-winning professional with a deeply rooted, 25-year history in film and television production, broadcasting, corporate public relations, and publicity.

Recipient of a CANPRO Award for the best magazine and feature television program in Canada, a QSVI Award for innovative thinking and execution, and two Performance Recognitions for work ethic, she is committed to the timely fulfillment of quality projects. During the Silver Wave Film Festivals 2008 awards gala, she was honoured as a Person who has Contributed Significantly to Film and Video in New Brunswick.

After receiving formal schooling and additional training in Saint John, Fredericton, ChicagoMontreal and Toronto, Kendra began her multi-faceted career in private television, as co-host of a live, regional magazine program, after which she was promoted to segment producer and co-host for another live, regional magazine program.

After several years in television, Kendra then accepted a position as co-host of a flagship current affairs program on local public radio, with the pinnacle achievement of her tenure being the programs attainment of the highest market share of all public radio morning programs in Canada.

Expanding on her career in audio-visual storytelling, Kendra began focussing on narrative films, both long and short form, working in capacities as varied as co-producer, assistant director, casting director, unit publicist, video camera operator, stills photographer, and assistant to producers. She incorporated 4FRONT film services to aid other filmmakers in the areas of production, publicity, public relations, and more.  She also undertook several advanced training sessions with renowned filmmakers and working professionals such as Albert Maysles (Documentary Filmmaking), Dov Simens (Feature Film Producing), Giles Walker (Directing), Les Kryszan (35mm Camera), Elizabeth Guildford (Production Managing), and Janet Sheridan (Production Accounting).

A full member of WIFT Toronto, Kendra recently relocated from New Brunswick, where she was a full member of the New Brunswick Filmmakers Cooperative, regularly donating her time and resources to develop and strengthen film and television opportunities for emerging filmmakers in that province. A founding team member of Saint Johns first-ever film festival, Saint John ONE, Kendra initiated financial awards for top-performing filmmakers, engaging the corporate community as funding bodies. Later, she conceived of and launched Film Pix, a film series and film scholarship program. Aided by a distribution arrangement with the highly respected Toronto International Film Festival (Film Circuit Division), and Canada's film distributors, Film Pix became a highly regarded and well attended alternative to mainstream cinema for Saint John residents. The Film Pix Scholarship for Aspiring Filmmakers continues  to harness revenues from the screening of new-release and second-run films to award its annual film scholarship of significance to Greater Saint John youth.

More recently, Kendra accepted an invitation to participate as a working member of the International Advisory Board for The Friends of Certosa di Capri, in Italy. Working with an international body of individuals representing countries including Spain, England, Italy and the United States, the Board provides a focal point for citizens of all nations who wish to support the development of the 13th century monastery Certosa di San Giacomo as a world class cultural resource. The Certosa is on the island of Capri between the Gulf of Naples and the Tyrrhenian Sea, and is 'demanio statale' (Italian state property), a priceless architectural treasure.

As an emerging producer of film, and with the belief that the best stories serve the human condition on many levels, Kendra is committed to the production of stories which evoke and entertain, enlighten, and enhance our sense of self and the world we occupy, merging uncommonly thoughtful artistic values with time-proven best practices of business.

Ajax head coach Erik ten Hag has questioned Frenkie de Jong's new role at Barcelona, claiming that he is not a natural goalscorer.

The 22-year-old has been deployed in a more advanced role at Barcelona in recent times, and was on the scoresheet in Barça's 3-2 win over Real Betis in La Liga.

Frenkie de Jong

But Ten Hag, who managed De Jong during the formative years of his career at Ajax, claims that he's more suited to being utilised in a deeper, more creative role - suggesting that he doesn't have the eye for goal required to play further up the field.

Speaking to Ziggo Sport, in quotes relayed by Marca, Ten Hag said: "He's not a goalscorer. He's the player who supplies... who supplies the teammates who give the assists or who score goals from their position.

"Once I got him out of there, I asked him: are you a No.10? Then when do you score goals?"

De Jong has scored just two goals for Barcelona in all competitions, suggesting that Ten Hag's judgement of the midfielder's best qualities are somewhat accurate.

In La Liga, the Dutchman has 92.4% pass accuracy, suggesting that the strength of his game does indeed lie with linking up play, rather than finishing moves off. But even though those numbers are impressive, De Jong is seeing less of the ball since joining Barça - averaging just 59.3 passes per game for the Catalans, compared to 79.5 passes per Ajax game.

His inability to get on the ball is perhaps indicative of the higher standard of football in La Liga, with the Eredivisie - and Ajax's dominance of it - allowing De Jong to roam around more freely in possession.

Frenkie de Jong

But Barcelona's struggles will also have played a part, with a rebuild under Quique Setién the order of the day following the dismissal of previous manager Ernesto Valverde.

Barça are currently playing second fiddle to Real Madrid in the La Liga title race, and know they'll have to be at their absolute best if they want to have any chance of dethroning Liverpool as champions of Europe.

Jude Bellingham may be just 16-years-old, but he's got Europe's elite battling for his signature.

The Birmingham City man (boy?!) has been a key figure for Pep Clotet this season, making 35 appearances in all competitions. In this time, he has managed an impressive four goals and three assists despite playing the majority of the season in the middle of the park.

Jude Bellingham

As a result of his performances, Bellingham has been linked with a number of top sides for a while now. The two clubs that appear most interested in his services are Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, although a source has told 90min that Liverpool are also still in contention.

The teenager has now fuelled the speculation linking himself with a move to United during a recent Instagram Q&A. Bellingham was asked who his hero was growing up, and in response, the midfielder posted a picture of United and England legend Wayne Rooney.

Rooney, of course, began his career at Everton and burst onto the scene at 16 years of age, immediately making a name for himself. Despite his tender age, Rooney's talent was there for all to see, and sure enough, United came calling. The Red Devils were able to secure his signature in the summer of 2004 for around £26m - a stunning fee for a teenager.

Rooney handled the pressure of expectation and the price tag that he had to carry despite his young age, and there are clear parallels with the praise that is being heaped on Bellingham. Of course, Rooney went on to become United's record goalscorer, and is renowned as a legend of the club.

Bellingham's family are said to have spoken to ‘senior United officials’ recently in order to gauge the kind of opportunities that would be available if he were to chose Old Trafford, while the player himself was also given a tour of the Red Devils' Carrington training ground.

Kyle McFadzean, Jude Bellingham

Dortmund were claimed to be ahead in the race to sign the prodigy, but sporting director Michael Zorc did recently admit that the coronavirus pandemic could impact their transfer this summer - potentially handing United a boost, although they too will be impacted.

It is far from clear where Bellingham will be playing his football next season, although his latest update has fuelled speculation linking him with a move to Old Trafford. One thing that is for certain, however, is Bellingham has a very, very bright future ahead of him.

Baidu, China's biggest internet search company and artificial intelligence (AI) champion, said it is investing a further 500 million yuan (US$70.5 million) to boost its live-streaming services, aiming to cultivate 1,000 star content creators amid a surge in online users during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Baidu will promote the live-streaming business more proactively [this year],” said Baidu executive vice-president Shen Dou at the company’s annual 2020 Wanxiang Conference on Wednesday.

Shen said Baidu’s apps and platforms saw an average of 1 billion daily visits during the height of the coronavirus outbreak, giving it a solid edge over competitors. “Data gleaned from our search engine gives us a clearer understanding of the types of live-streaming content users want,” he added.

Baidu's company logo is seen at its headquarters in Beijing on December 17, 2014. (Picture: Reuters)

While live-streaming has been around for years, the coronavirus pandemic has seen a spike in the popularity of such services, with millions of Chinese people turning to live-streaming and ecommerce platforms amid citywide lockdowns across the country.

Over the recent Lunar New Year period at the end of January, users on Douyin – the mainland Chinese version of TikTok – spent an average of 99 minutes on the app each day, compared to 67 minutes during the festive season last year, a QuestMobile report in February showed. Kuaishou, Douyin’s closest competitor, also saw a rise in average daily usage time from 44 minutes to 71 minutes during the same period, the report said.

The size of China’s live-streaming market reached 433.8 billion yuan in 2019 and is expected to be double that in 2020, according to a report by data analysis firm iiMedia Research in February.

And although China’s economy suffered its first contraction in nearly three decades in the first quarter of this year, some live-streamed events over the recent Labor Day holiday recorded sales of as much as 140 million yuan and the volume of sales from live-streams was 4.7 times more than in the holiday period last year, China’s vice-minister for commerce Wang Bingnan said earlier this month.

However, Baidu faces an uphill battle to grab market share from apps like Douyin and Kuaishou, which have been focused on live-streaming for years and are already established in the space, said He Yixuan, an ecommerce analyst from research firm Analysys.

“It would be difficult for Baidu to venture into the live-streaming market at the moment,” He said, adding that it would take time for the company to cultivate its own live-streaming celebrities, or key opinion leaders (KOLs).

Some of the most famous KOLs, such as "Lipstick King" Li Jiaqi, became household names by streaming predominantly on specific platforms. Li, who once sold 15,000 lipsticks in five minutes, got his start on Alibaba Group Holding’s ecommerce platform Taobao and still regularly streams on Taobao Live. (Alibaba is the parent company of the Post.)

To stand out from other players, Baidu said it will use AI and big data to “build a live-streaming platform with a focus on information and knowledge users need.”

Baidu will also help its 3.8 billion content creators promote their content across its diverse platforms including search engine app Baidu, short video app Haokan and collaborative online encyclopaedia Baidu Baike, it said in a press release.

“We will build up our capacity to facilitate communication between content creators and users on all our platforms, letting users not only gain information and services they need but also communicate directly with content creators,” it added.

5 Travel Myths You Need to Stop Believing Right Now

Feb 26, 2016 / Haseeb Jamal -

Canal Comes Alive with Lighted Boat Parade.

Causes of Dam Failure

By: Haseeb Jamal / On: Jan 16, 2017 / Environmental Effects

Causes of Dam Failure

Dam failure is defined by the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) as the ‘collapse or movement of part of a dam or its foundation, so that the dam cannot retain water.

Causes of Dam Failure
Causes of Dam Failure - Why Dams Fail

Causes of Dam Failure:

In general, a failure results in the release of large quantities of water, posing serious risks for the people or property downstream. The most common cause of failure of earth and rock-fill dams is overtopping (31% as primary cause and 18% as secondary cause). This is followed by internal erosion in the body of the dam (15% as primary cause and 13% as secondary cause) and in the foundation (12% as primary cause and 5% as secondary cause). With masonry dams, the most common cause is overtopping (43%) followed by internal erosion in the foundation (29%).

Where other works were the seat of the failure, the most common cause was inadequate spillway capacity (22% as primary cause and 30% as secondary cause). Foundation problems are the most common cause of failure in concrete dams, with internal erosion and insufficient shear strength of the foundation each accounting for 21% of failures.

DTRE scheme clarified

ISLAMABAD (December 23 2003): The Central Board of Revenue (CBR) has issued a clarification pertaining to utilisation of raw materials by newly registered persons under the 'Duty and Tax Remission for Export' (DTRE) scheme.

The CBR has informed all collectors that exporters approved to work under DTRE may be allowed to use duty- and tax-free imported inputs for their DTRE approval, if their previous approval has been terminated due to cancellation of export order.

They can also be allowed to use such inputs for new DTRE approval if such inputs have been rendered surplus for any valid reason, like quantitative reduction in export order, or partial non-performance of the contract due to factors beyond human control etc, CBR added.

Responding to a query raised by Collector, Collectorate of Customs, Peshawar, the CBR has directed all collectors to refer all cases regarding waiver of surcharge payable under the Duty and Tax Remission for Export (DTRE) scheme to the Board.

Collectorates should submit details of such cases including relevant facts of the cases along with collector's recommendations.

Hydraulic Fracturing with Seawater

Solution: Oil & Gas Onshore

hydraulic fracturing case study

Client’s Challenge

In the Middle East, fresh water for fracturing operations is associated with high capital and operation costs, due to the fresh water scarcely in the region. Seawater from the Arabian Gulf is highly saline and has high sulphate content, but can, if treated correctly, compensate for the lack of fresh water sources whilst reducing energy consumption. Our client needed a mobile solution to treat seawater for hydraulic fracturing.

Our Solution

Our mobile nanofiltration solution makes seawater available to unconventional basins through removing the sulphate and eliminating the water-scaling tendency and souring of the reservoir. The mobile, compact, fully automatic robust unit delivers 3,000 bbls/day of nanofiltered water under typical oilfield conditions.

Water analysis conducted on the nanofiltered seawater shows reduction of sulphate from 3400 ppm to 50-65 ppm operating at 38 °C fluid temperature in single pass configuration. Significant energy savings is achieved by specifically remove divalent ions and suspended solids, whilst leaving the monovalent ions (which do not impact operation). The life cycle cost for producing each barrel of filtered water is estimated to be less than $0.5. This makes this mobile filtration method one of the most economical for efficient fracturing operations for this fresh water scarce region. The built-in container units are mounted on trucks, and the provided cam lock interconnectors make the installation & dismantle very quick & easy.

Advanced Watertek Scope of Work

  • Ultrafiltration Pretreatment + 2 pass Nanofiltration system installed in 2 x 40 ft DNV containers

  • Achieved Product Water Quality after Pass 2 @ 38°C:

    • SO4 < 2 ppm
    • Ca < 240 ppm
    • Mg < 175 ppm

Project Features

  • UF Pretreatment + 2 pass Nanofiltration system Installed in In 2 x 40 ft DNV containers

  • Fully automated system with minimum operator interventions

  • Advanced Watertek’s mobile sulphate removal system can be installed on trailers & can be stationed at remote fracking sites as & when required

  • Very low capacity diesel generator needed to operate

  • Very minimum chemical consumption

  • System supplied with operation & maintenance services

  • System is equipped with remote monitoring facility

  • System is equipped with lab kits to measure sulphate, calcium, magnesium, and chloride resulting in less turn around time, as key results are available instantly & product water can be used directly in the wells. (online measurement instruments option also available)

  • System design is scalable & can be increased/decreased based on requirement

Travel on-site

Advanced Watertek provides excellent after sales support. If any of our mobile units require service or experience any complications, our team of qualified technicians and service experts are always ready to provide on-site support anywhere worldwide.

Joyspotting: rainbow ants

These arresting photos of ants come via the Daily Mail. The photographer, Mohammed Babu, set up this experiment after his wife noticed that some ants had turned white from eating spilled milk. By setting up colored drops of sugar water on sheets of paraffin in his garden, Babu was able to create a palette of rainbow ants, their transparent abdomens revealing their latest meal.

There’s an interesting tension here. We’re not used to seeing insects as joyful, and usually regard them with disgust. (Though this may be a cultural response here in the West, as many other cultures do not have this response and in fact view insects as a perfectly acceptable food source.) But in this case, color seems to override our disgust, and the magic of the ants’ transparent bodies revealing the color opposes our instinct towards disgust with wonder.

When you think about it this way, there’s a powerful design principle in here. Aesthetics can create a kind of fascination that overrides our intrinsic responses, even ones as physical and intense as disgust. It would be interesting to see how this fascination could be developed to help us change behavior based on such instinctual responses – not just disgust, but also perhaps anxiety and fear. If we can design something so that it produces a conflicting response to the brain’s natural alarm bells, this tension can trigger a need for accommodation – a need to fit this new occurrence into the person’s worldview. And that need for accommodation, accompanied by delight, wonder, or curiosity, is often the first step towards a changed mind.

  1. It is certainly fascinating, and I do have the conflicting responses, but I can’t say joy is among them. Along with my scientific curiosity piqued (wonder what on earth is going on here?) I feel some disgust at witnessing a creature doing something kind of bizarre because of a staged situation. Ants don’t really disgust me when I see them crawling in the dust or on a plant as usual. But as stunning as the colors are, these photos disgust me a little. I’m reminded of a photo I once saw in an animal behavior book – to prove birds are attracted to the bigger eggs the scientists added bigger and bigger balls to the nest, and ended up with a photo of a mother bird setting atop a volleyball trying her best to lay it. It’s fascinating, and you learn from it, and neither the bird nor these ants appear to be getting harmed by the experience. Yet to see the creatures’ instincts causing them to look bizarre in a staged situation makes me feel fascinated and repulsed, a bit like a freak show. It’s wonder alright, but is it joy? I’m a huge fan of this terrific blog!

  2. Great comments, all – thanks for sharing!

    Jon, your observation is a good one. I like that you point out that it doesn’t seem the animals are harmed by these displays, but that they still seem disturbing. “Harm” seems to be an automatic disqualifier for joy. In any circumstance, if hurt is inflicted, the object or experience no longer seems joyful. But something can disturbing without being hurtful, and I believe this is a product of that need for accommodation caused by the natural/artificial dissonance. These kinds of dissonant aesthetics do evoke a sense of magic (as alluded to by nidhi’s comment), if the source or mechanism isn’t apparent – and these tensions can create simultaneous feelings of wonder, fascination, fear, and disgust as our brains try to resolve an apparent conflict and restore order to our worldview. I think different personalities, or different sets of individual experiences, dispose us to different reactions along this spectrum.

The gained experience and international vocation of Legale Agnoloni is nowadays fundamental, considering that the majority of commercial transactions and private matters regarding the international field and international conferees, and this is stated by the fact that over the 70% of our clients (both privates and companies) is domiciled or has the head office abroad, especially in Europe and in Countries adopting the Common Law system. Therefore, our best professionals and collaborators are able to deal with our clients using English and at least another one foreign language, and they had worked or had studied abroad for significant time and are qualified to legal practice also in foreign legal order.

These relations allow the Firm to provide its clients with a quick and integrated first level assistance about every kind of international operations or activities, assisting them in transnational matters that need a deep knowledge of other legal orders.

Legale Agnoloni is able to efficiently help its own Italian and international patronage. In fact the Firm assists Italian and foreigner privates that have personal and commercial interests in Italy and abroad and that have to deal with different legal orders about matters such as real estate, commercial law, inheritance law, tax law, family law and by the same token is able to offer to Italian and foreigner companies the specific assistance for internationalizing and for de-localizing themselves.

With particular regard to this last mentioned activity, the Firm offers services of internationalization to enterprises e.g. among others: the previous marketing analysis of product areas of interest; the research of industrial, commercial and logistic partners; the legal, contractual and fiscal assistance in accordance with the local and international regulations; the in loco assistance for the obtaining of eventual tax and/or financial incentives provided for foreigner investors; the in loco assistance in operations with administrative authority to request and release of licenses and/or authorizations; the help in opening bank accounts both personal and business; the draft of international commercial contracts regarding import-export operations and for taking part to exhibitions, events and commercial missions; the international financial planning related to the manage of the enterprise’s risk; the transfer pricing analysis and the stipulation of cost sharing agreements.

Washington, Dec. 17 –Senate Democrats abandoned efforts late Thursday to pass a $1.2 trillion spending bill and accept GOP demands for a short-term measure instead.

Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said he was forced to drop the bill after nine Republicans who had previously indicated they would back the measure wouldn't now vote for it. The package contained over 6,000 earmarks totalling $8 billion

Republican leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said passing a “gigantic, trillion dollar bill” through Congress at the end of the year is “no way to legislate.

“Just a few weeks after the voters told us they don’t want us rushing major pieces of complicated, costly, far-reaching legislation through Congress, we get this.”

Senate Republicans have offered a two-month spending bill that would expire on Feb. 18. By then, the GOP will have assumed control of the House and picked up several seats in the Senate.

Last week, the House passed a $1.2 trillion bill that would fund the federal government through September 2011, which contained no earmarks. Reid said he wouldn't attempt to bring that legislation to the floor, because Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) indicated that no members of his party would support it.

I was getting ready to put my high tone Vaquero on ebay, but I thought that I would see if anyone here wanted it first. I am the original owner of this detector. I hardly ever used it, because I used my Bandido II micromax most of the time. It is in excellent condition as you can see from the pictures. I comes with the original 8x9 coil and a 6" widescan coil and lower rods. I am asking $325.00 shipped. As I said, if nobody here wants it I am going to sell it on ebay.

Liquidation of Air Italy.

Even with the might of the Aga Khan and Qatar Airways behind it, Italy's second-largest carrier could survive the winter and has gone into the liquidation process.

Air Italy confirmed today what many in the industry have been expecting for days, if not weeks and that the end was nigh for the troubled carrier. It's shareholders, the Aga Khan founded Alisarda which owned 51% and Qatar Airways which held 49% have decided on “liquidazione in bonis” of the company.

Qatar Airways took a minor stake in the airline, formally known as Meridiana back in September 2017 and supported Air Italy's business plan for growth, inflight service, job creation and long-haul routes.  In a statement issued on Tuesday, after news broke of the liquidation of Air Italy, the Gulf carrier said it "Has continuously provided all possible support to Air Italy right from the beginning, from releasing aircraft from our fleet and ordering new aircraft for Air Italy, to backing management choices and injecting capital and investment as required and permitted."

It also blamed Air Italy's demise on Alisarda, "Qatar Airways was ready once again to play its part in supporting the growth of the airline, but this would only have been possible with the commitment of all shareholders." advised the statement.

Air Italy advises that from 11 to 25 February2020 inclusive, all Air Italy flights will be operated by other carriers at the times and on the days previously scheduled; all passengers who booked flights (outward or return) after 25 February 2020 will be re-protected or fully refunded.

More specifically:

All scheduled flights (outward or return) up to and including 25 February 2020 (including the first departures on the morning of 26 February 2020 of domestic flights to Malpensa and from Male and Dakar airports) will be regularly operated, without any changes to the original scheduled dates and times and on the same flight conditions. Passengers will be able to fly using their ticket. Alternatively, passengers can always opt for a full ticket refund by emailing the following address (or contacting their travel agency) prior to their flight’s departure time.
For all tickets scheduled to depart by 25 February 2020 and to return after 25 February 2020:
- the outward journey will be regularly operated, without any changes to the original scheduled dates and times and the same flight conditions; with regards to the return flight, passengers will be offered a travel option on the first available flight of another carrier, the details of which will be provided from 18 February 2020 by calling the following number from Italy: 892928, from abroad: +39078952682, from Usa: +1 866 3876359, from Canada: +1 800 7461888, or by contacting the travel agency in the case of purchase through this channel.
- Alternatively, passengers can opt to claim their refund for unused flight segments, by emailing the following address (or by contacting the travel agency if the ticket was purchased through it) prior to the flight’s departure time.
Tickets for return flights after 25 February 2020:
- If purchased directly via the web (Air Italy portal) or Air Italy contact center, they will be fully refunded in a manner that will be provided via email, or requesting it at the address
- If purchased through the Air Italy ticket office, they will be fully refunded by going to any Air Italy ticket office
- If purchased through a travel agency it will be necessary to request a refund or a change of travel by contacting the agency

The losses had been mounting at the Sardinian based airline, roughly 160 million in 2018 and 200 in 2019

Israel’s economy victim of election campaign

Israeli politicians prefer to ignore the implications of two election campaigns in one year on the market and the state deficit, which could harm the country’s credit rating.

al-monitor A man stands in front of an electronic board displaying market data at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, in Tel Aviv, Israel, Jan. 29, 2017.  Photo by REUTERS/Baz Ratner.

Aug 8, 2019

The trade war between the United States and China escalated last week, following an announcement Aug. 1 by President Donald Trump that he would be imposing tariffs on Chinese imports, and a retaliatory decision Aug. 7 by the Chinese to stop the import of American agricultural products. Just one day before that, the United States announced that China was engaged in currency manipulation.

So far, Israel’s election campaign made no reference over this international crisis, even though it could have significant consequences for the Israeli economy. In fact, economic issues barely appear at all in the various parties’ campaigns, and if they do happen to appear, they are hidden behind an irrelevant series of personal attacks.

A quick look at the Blue and White party’s Twitter account shows that among the dozens of tweets made during the first days of August by the party that hopes to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party, only one — a reaction to an article about the deficit — actually dealt with economic issues. Nor did Blue and White’s campaign videos discuss the economy, apart from a few generic statements about maintaining a responsible economy without hurting weaker sectors of the population.

The state deficit is a very serious issue. In the first seven months of this year alone, the deficit hovered around 24 billion Israeli shekels ($6.9 billion), more than twice what it was in the same period last year, when the deficit was “only” 11 billion shekels ($3.1 billion). What this means in practical terms is that it will be necessary to raise taxes or repeal tax exemptions and benefits, while at the same time implementing a series of budget cuts.

In fact, the government decided in July to cut the state budget, but this was just a minor cut of 1.15 billion shekels ($330 million) intended primarily to fund additional projects, rather than being used to cover the deficit. One of these projects was construction of the ground barrier along the border with the Gaza Strip; another was subsidizing day-care facilities.

The two election campaigns in 2019 are costing the economy half a billion shekels each, or 1 billion shekels ($287 million) in total. Of these, 195 million shekels ($56 million) are being used to fund the parties, while the Election Committee costs another 283 million shekels ($81 million). Added to this direct cost is the cost of a nationwide paid holiday for workers. According to figures provided by the Manufacturers Association of Israel, one such day is estimated to cost the private sector alone another 1.5 billion shekels ($430 million). Last month, the Manufacturers Association tried to advance a new law repealing the national holiday and replace it with paid leave for the day limited only to employees who actually choose to vote. This attempt failed.

Recently, the Manufacturers Association launched a public campaign with huge billboards featuring world leaders such as Donald Trump, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, under the headline, “Real leaders choose industry,” but the political arena has yet to respond. The party leaders are simply ignoring it.

In a conversation with Al-Monitor, the Director General of the Manufacturers Association Robi Ginel accused Israel’s economic leadership of ignoring what is happening around the world, particularly the currency and trade war between the United States and China. “There is a leadership and decision-making vacuum,” he said. According to him, the reason that no decisions are being made is because the election campaign sucks up most of the attention of those politicians in a position to make real decisions.

A senior official in the Finance Ministry told Al-Monitor that as a result of the impending election, there have been very few economic discussions with the participation of ministers and Knesset members. “There is no way to get long-term policy decisions during an election campaign, so that all we get are temporary solutions,” he said on condition of anonymity. “We discuss the international situation and make recommendations, but only for limited gap measures.”

He noted that a long list of reforms and strategic programs have been put on hold because of the election campaign. So, for instance, the “Price for Residents” reform, intended to deal with the housing crisis, has been frozen.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s economic outlook for Israel in 2019 shows cautious optimism, given the underlying strength of the Israeli economy. On the other hand, it also expresses concern about the growing deficit and an inadequate growth rate. According to this forecast, Israel’s government must advance structural reforms in a number of different areas, including a reduction of the economic gaps vis-a-vis the weaker groups among the population, such as the ultra-Orthodox and Arab sectors. The problem is that the current five-year plan for the Arab sector is about to end, while preparations of a follow-up plan have ground to a halt because of the election.

And there is another cost to this election. Dissolving the 21st Knesset so quickly altered the average frequency of elections since 1995 to once every 2.6 years. This is very frequent, when compared to other democratic states. A country in which democratic processes fail to result in a stable government is classified as problematic, both politically and in terms of governance. This, in turn, could harm the country’s credit rating.

It will be almost a year from the start of the election campaign for the 21st Knesset in late 2018 until the formation of a new government after this round of elections for the 22nd Knesset. The government’s economic activity throughout the course of this year has been limited, there has been no long-term planning, nor has there been any real effort to deal with strategic economic problems or crises. Given this situation, it can only be hoped that a new government will be formed quickly after these elections, and that it will wake the Israeli economy from its slumber.

Hurricane Hardware Shutter Mounting Hanger Bolts with Washered Wing Nuts - 21 Pieces

Hurricane Hardware Shutter Mounting Kit with Hanger Bolts & Wing Nuts

Hurricane Hardware Hanger Bolts with Installation Bit and Washered Wing Nuts

Our Price: $24.99

SKU: 1060-738

Kit Contents:

  • Hanger Bolts - Zinc Plated Steel 1/4"-20 x 3" - 10 pieces
  • Washered Wing Nuts - Die Cast Zamak Zinc 1/4"-20 - 10 pieces
  • Power Bit Hanger Bolt Driver 1/4"-20

This kit features 1/4"-20 hanger bolts with matching flanged wing nuts, commonly used for storm shutters, or to board up windows and doors during hurricanes or strong storms. Hanger Bolts feature a lag screw thread to install into wood, with an exterior machine screw thread to accept the fixture, followed by the wing nut to keep everything in place. This kit includes a 1/4"-20 power bit to make installing the hanger bolts a breeze.

Zinc plated hanger bolts are headless bolts with unified threading on one end and lag screw threading on the other. Hanger bolts are aptly named as they are used to hang things from wood. To install a hanger bolt, the lag side is screwed into a pilot hole. Then an object with a hole drilled is placed over the unified threaded portion and a washer and nut are fastened to hold the object in place.

The lag side of a hanger bolt is tapered to a blunt point. They are designed for hanging objects from wooden structures. Hanger bolts are commonly used for suspending electrical wire and sheet metal. They can also commonly be found for making invisible joints in furniture.

A Washer Base Zinc Wingnut features a wide diameter integral washer base with a recessed wing design. Flanged wingnuts are suitable for most standard wingnut applications, especially those where a washer would be used as this eliminates the need for the second part and speeds up the assembly process. Used with adjustment slots, oversized or offset holes, and soft surfaces such as wood or plastic, these nuts are highly popular in displays, furniture and storm windows.

Reasons to Declutter to Sell Your Home Fast by Alberta Buyers

July 9, 2018

We Buy Calgary Houses

When you want to sell your home, first declutter it. In markets where there is a lot of competition among sellers who want to make their home stand out, the house that’s lean and mean and ready for sale has a major advantage. Decluttering includes several phases which reduce the volume of furniture and possessions in the house and hides or stages the rest. It means clean off the counters and minimize any display of personal items. There many good reasons for this, but let’s start with 10.

  1. You give the buyers a clear view of what they are looking at. Some buyers can see potential though clutter. Most can’t.

  2. You show off the assets of the room, including windows, molding, fireplaces, built ins, and other features. This encourages the potential buyer to start mentally arranging his furniture there.

  3. Free wall space allows the buyer to get up close and personal so he can measure an area to see if his couch fits between windows.

  4. Whether you have decorator taste or thrift store taste, minimizing the furniture and knickknacks allows the buyer to react to the house, not your taste.

  5. Your buyer wants to create his own memories there. Seeing endless displays of your family pictures and memorabilia is distracting.

  6. Especially in the kitchen, buyers want to see the amount of work space, counter space, and storage space the house offers. You need to have a minimal number of appliances and other things on the counter to let the space shine through.

  7. With fewer of your possessions on display, you reduce the chance of theft during open houses. Realtors do their best to be good stewards of your home, but why invite problems?

  8. When you declutter, you downsize so you have less to move. This makes the process quicker and cheaper. If some of your stuff has been in boxes over the last few moves, it’s time to cut it loose.

  9. If you are downsizing your living space, over-sized pieces or an excessive amount of furniture might not fit in the new space anyway.

  10. Bringing less to your new home will allow you to start fresh there.

More is less when it comes to presenting your home to prospective buyers. When it is time to sell your Calgary house, put Goodwill on speed dial, organize a yard sale, put some pieces in storage if necessary. Consider a professional stager to show off what’s left to good advantage. Your decluttering efforts may pay off in selling your house faster.

Do you think it is necessary to take down all your family pictures?

Are you ready to sell a home fast? Call us today at 1-(877) 804-5252 or have your client contact us to get an offer in hours from Alberta Buyers. With us you do not need to Declutter, we buy (Old; Vacant; Ugly) houses fast for Cash AS-IS, No Repair, No Cleaning; Across Calgary area.

What Is TMJ

The temporomandibular joints are the joints on either side of your head that connect your jaw to your skull & allow you to open & close your mouth, chew, & speak. Because it can move in many different directions, these joints are some of the most complex in your body. Any problems with these joints are also referred to as TMJ disorder, or just TMJ.

Symptoms of TMJ

Symptoms of TMJ can include:

  • Jaw clicking, popping, or locking
  • Headaches or earaches
  • Pain when mouth is opened widely
  • Tenderness of jaw muscles

The cause of your TMJ can determine which or how many of these symptoms you have. At most dental checkups, your dentist or dental hygienist will check for tenderness in your jaw muscles to see if TMJ might be present.

Causes of TMJ

TMJ does not always have an obvious cause, but there are a few common possibilities for the origins of a TMJ problem:

  • Injury or dislocation
  • Teeth clenching (often from stress)
  • Arthritis
  • Poor tooth or jaw alignment

How Can a Dentist Help?

While many probably think of dentist as just teeth doctors, we can’t treat you properly without looking at your mouth as part of a system. That system definitely includes your temporomandibular joint. A dentist can help in diagnosing your TMJ disorder, & may also refer you to a physician or a specialist dentist for further diagnosis.

Because TMJ can be caused by tooth & jaw alignment problems, there are dental treatments that may help. Your dentist may refer you to an orthodontist for treatments like braces, which can help realign the teeth & the jaws so that your mouth can close in the proper position. Treatment form an orthodontist can alleviate TMJ symptoms in many cases.

If your TMJ comes from teeth grinding or clenching, your dentist may recommend that you wear a custom dental appliance. Often called a bite plate or a splint, this appliance will keep your upper teeth from grinding against your lower teeth. In addition to alleviating TMJ symptoms, this bite guard will prevent wear on your teeth from grinding that can lead to other problems.

Other treatments for TMJ include using hot & cold packs, taking anti-inflammatory &/or muscle relaxing medications, or learning relaxation techniques to reduce tension in your jaw muscles. In certain rare cases, TMJ may require jaw surgery to correct.

If you are concerned that you may have symptoms that indicate TMJ, please speak with your dentist about it. We want to get you relief from pain & discomfort as quickly as we can!

Everybody knows how beneficial a sauna bath can be for their health and how relaxing and soothing is a sauna session after a tiresome day. However, the benefits of the sauna can be extended if you know how to schedule your sauna sessions and what to do in order to get the best of it. Here are some clever tips in intensifying the benefits of a sauna bath.

Exercise before entering the sauna room

Many people choose to enter the sauna after they have exercised in the gym because the sauna helps relax their muscles and relieves muscle sore. Therefore, if you experience muscle pain due to intense workouts, you can use the sauna to feel better. The high temperature inside the sauna increases the blood flow and helps you fight joints pain and muscles soreness.

Drink plenty of water

Considering the high temperatures created inside the sauna room, you can understand why you must hydrate your body very well before starting a sauna session. You should drink at least two glasses of water prior to entering the sauna so your body will have enough strength to resist during the session. It’s also good to drink water while sitting in the sauna in order to allow your body to sweat and eliminate even more toxins.

Choose the right temperature

The temperature you create inside the sauna is very important in achieving the most beneficial sauna session. Studies show that it’s best to heat the sauna to a temperature between 176 and 194 degrees Fahrenheit. This way, you will feel comfortable inside the sauna, you will not overwhelm your body with too much heat, and you will benefit from all the good effects of the sauna.

Alternate the changes of temperature

In order to intensify the benefits of a sauna bath, you must know how long the session must be. It’s best that you enter the sauna for a 20-minute session so your body will get used to the heat, then leave the sauna and allow your body to cool down. Then, use the sauna for another 20 minutes in order to accelerate your blood flow and to improve the heart rate.

Opt for chromotherapy

Many of the modern infrared saunas you can use nowadays include a chromotherapy lights system that increases the benefits of the infrared light already used inside the sauna. These lights promote a better health by improving the functioning of various organs in your body. The effects of using a sauna enhanced with a chromotherapy system are visible both on the inside and on the outside, as you will look younger and healthier.

Getting back to work safely post-lockdown

What does it mean to go back to work safely post-lockdown?

COVID-19 has taught us the importance of social distancing in a way we have never imagined before. Indeed, keeping a 2-metre distance between us and other people has become the norm for the foreseeable future.

What does that mean for all the people using public transportation to get to work? On a normal day, the tube, buses and trains carry hundreds of thousands of people into London and the level of density in those tubes and trains does not allow for 2-metre social distancing.

After weeks or months of staying home and practising social distancing to halt the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, it is not difficult to understand that many people will be wary of sitting or standing on overcrowded trains, tubes or buses in order to get to work. So what are our options to get back to work safely?

Getting back to work safely: solutions and ideas

If social distancing is still encouraged after the official easing of some lockdown restrictions, what are our options to get back to work while respecting the government’s recommendations? Do we dare take public transportation, hoping it is not too crowded?

We have been thinking about it here at Anderson Travel and have found what we think is the best solution: hire a coach. Companies might want to hire coaches for the exclusive use of employees for the journey to and from work. While this solution may incur an additional expense at a time when many companies are concerned about cash flow, the safety and peace-of-mind it provides to all employees certainly makes it a viable option.

We have adapted our operations to comply with the strictest sanitation standards as well as the UK government guidelines relating to social distancing. The best example we have is our 49-seater that is being transformed into a 25-seater allowing for a wide enough gap between passengers. We also provide hand sanitiser onboard & ensure that each coach is thoroughly disinfected before and after a service.

This solution would allow employees to be picked up at their homes or a convenient location nearby to be brought into work without compromising their safety, thus complying with social-distancing guidelines while ensuring the company does not suffer from lack of employees. A win-win situation all around!
