Car Retal In Sri Lanka

Given Sri Lanka’s fairly modest size, getting around can be a frustratingly time-consuming process. The island’s narrow roads, congested with pedestrians, cyclists and tuktuks make bus travel laborious, while in many cases travel by rail is even slower. Even with your own vehicle you shouldn’t expect to make rapid progress. Getting from Colombo to Kandy, for instance (a distance of not much over 100km), takes around three hours by bus or train, while the bus trip across the island from Colombo to Arugam Bay takes at least ten hours by public transport for a distance of 320km.

By rickshaw

Buses are the standard means of transport. Services reach even the remotest corners of the island, though they’re generally an uncomfortable way of travelling. Trains offer a more characterful, if generally slower, means of getting about, and will get you to many parts of the country – eventually. If you don’t want to put up with the vagaries of public transport, hiring a car and driver can prove a reasonably affordable and extremely convenient way of seeing the island in relative comfort. If you’re really in a rush, consider SriLankan Airlines’ network of “air taxis”, which offer speedy (albeit inevitably pricey) connections between Colombo and other parts of the island.

By bus

Buses are the staple mode of transport in Sri Lanka. Buses screech past on the island’s major highways every few seconds, and any town of even the remotest consequence will be served by fairly regular connections. That’s the good news. The bad news is that bus travel in Sri Lanka is almost uniformly uncomfortable and frequently nerve-racking as well, given the gung-ho driving styles of some drivers. The average Sri Lankan bus journey is a stop-start affair: stomach-tightening bursts of speed alternate with periods of creeping slowness, all played out to an accompaniment of parping horns, blaring Sinhala pop music and the awful noises of mechanical protest as the long-suffering bus careers around yet another corner with every panel rattling – before the inevitable slamming-on of brakes sends everyone lurching forward in their seats. And if you haven’t got a seat, so much the worse. If you do, you’ll probably find yourself serving as an impromptu armrest to one of the countless unfortunates standing packed in the aisle. The rear seats in large buses are the best place to sit, both because there’s usually enough legroom to stow luggage comfortably under the seat in front, and because you won’t have a very clear view of whatever craziness the driver is attempting.

Buses come in a variety of forms. The basic distinction is between government or SLTB (Sri Lanka Transport Board) buses and private services.

SLTB buses

Almost all SLTB buses are rattling old TATA vehicles, usually painted red. These are often the oldest and slowest vehicles on the road, but can be slightly more comfortable than private buses in that the conductor won’t feel the same compulsion to squeeze as many passengers on board, or the driver to thrash the vehicle flat out in order to get to the next stop ahead of competing vehicles (accidents caused by rival bus drivers racing one another are all too common).

Private buses

Private buses come in different forms. At their most basic, they’re essentially the same as SLTB buses, consisting of large, arthritic old rustbuckets that stop everywhere; the only difference is that private buses will usually be painted white and emblazoned with the stickers of whichever company runs them. Some private companies operate slightly faster services, large buses known variously as “semi-express”, “express” or “inter-city”, which (in theory at least) make fewer stops en route.

At the top end of the scale, private minibuses, often described as “express” and/or “luxury” services (although the description should be taken with a large pinch of salt) offer the fastest way of getting around. These are smaller vehicles with air-conditioning and tinted, curtained windows, though the tiny seats and lack of luggage space (your baggage will often end up on your lap or between your legs) can make them more uncomfortable than SLTB services, especially if you’re tall. (If the vehicle isn’t packed to capacity you could try paying for an extra seat on which to put your luggage – the conductor might insist you do this anyway.) In theory, express minibuses only make limited stops at major bus stations en route, although in practice it’s up to the driver and/or conductor as to where they stop and for how long, and how many people they’re willing to cram in.

Fares, timetables and stops

Bus fares, on both private and SLTB services, are extremely low. Note that on the latter you may have to pay the full fare for the entire route served by the bus, irrespective of where you get off. If you do want to get off before the end of the journey, let the driver/conductor know when you board.

Services on longer and/or less frequently served routes run to fixed timetables. Services on shorter or particularly popular routes tend to leave as soon as the vehicle is full. In general, departures on longer-distance routes tend to be more frequent in the morning, tailing off in the afternoon. Seat reservations are almost unheard of except on long-distance buses to Jaffna.

Another problem with Sri Lankan buses is the difficulty of finding the relevant service. Most timetables and signs are in Sinhala only, as are many of the destination boards displayed by buses – it’s useful to get an idea of the characters you’re looking for (see Sinhala place-names). All bus stations have one or more information booths (although they’re often not signposted) where staff can point you in the right direction, as well as providing latest timetable information. If arriving at a larger terminal by tuktuk, it’s a good idea to enlist the help of your driver in locating the right bus.

Express services generally only halt at bus terminals or other recognized stops. Other types of services will usually stop wherever there’s a passenger to be picked up – just stand by the roadside and stick an arm out. If you’re flagging down a bus by the roadside, one final hazard is in getting on. Drivers often don’t stop completely, instead slowing down just enough to allow you to jump aboard. Keep your wits about you, especially if you’re weighed down with heavy luggage, and be prepared to move fast when the bus pulls in – or risk seeing it simply pull off again without you.

By train

Sri Lanka’s train network, built by the British during the nineteenth century and little changed since, offers a characterful way of getting around the island, and for many visitors a trip aboard one of these chuntering old relics (especially on the marvellously scenic hill country line) is a highlight of a trip to Sri Lanka. Travel by rail is, however, generally slower than by bus, and the charm of the experience often involves a fair dose of frustration – delays are the norm and progress can be incredibly laborious, and can seem even more tedious if you end up standing up in an overcrowded carriage. Nonetheless, Sri Lankan trains are worth experiencing, if only once.

The train network

The network comprises three principal lines: the coast line, which runs along the west coast from Puttalam in the north, heading south via Negombo, Colombo, Kalutara, Bentota, Beruwala, Aluthgama, Ambalangoda, Hikkaduwa and Galle to Weligama and Matara (with an extension as far as Kataragama currently under construction). The hill country line runs from Colombo to Kandy then on to Hatton (for Adam’s Peak), Nanu Oya (for Nuwara Eliya), Haputale, Bandarawela, Ella and Badulla. The northern line runs from Colombo through Kurunegala to Anuradhapura and Vavuniya before terminating at Omantai. Two additional branches run off this line: the first to Polonnaruwa and Batticaloa, the second to Trincomalee.

Types of train

Trains comprise three classes. Most services consist exclusively of second- and third-class carriages. There’s not actually a huge amount of difference between the two: second-class seats are slightly more padded and comfortable, and there are fans in the carriages, but the main bonus is that the carriages tend to be (very slightly) less overcrowded. First class covers three different types of seating, which are only available on selected trains. These are seats on inter-city trains and in the observation car on hill country trains; seats in the air-conditioned carriage on trains to Anuradhapura and Batticaloa; and sleeping berths on overnight services. The smallness of the island means that, unlike in neighbouring India, there are only a few overnight trains. These comprise first-class sleeping berths and second- and third-class “sleeperettes” (fold-down seats), plus ordinary seats.

Fares and booking

Despite recent price increases, fares are still extremely cheap. A ticket from Colombo to Kandy in second class, for instance, is currently Rs.190, while even an overnight first-class air-conditioned sleeping berth from Colombo to Batticaloa costs just Rs.900. Advance bookings are only available for first-class seats and sleeper berths, and for second-class sleeperettes and seats on inter-city express services between Colombo and Kandy. Reservations can be made up to ten days in advance at the Berths Booking Office (Mon–Sat 8.30am–3.30pm, Sun 8.30am–noon) at Fort Railway Station in Colombo. You can also make reservations at other stations, though they’ll have to contact Colombo, so try to reserve as far ahead of the date of travel as possible. Tickets for all other types of seat can only be bought on the day of travel.

Timetables can be checked online atrailway.gov.lk/gic.gov.lk(although these may not be completely up to date).

By air

If time is of the essence,SriLankan Airlines’ air taxi serviceoffers convenient high-speed connections between Colombo and many other places around the country. All these flights use Twin-Otter water planes (carrying up to fifteen passengers), which are able to land on convenient lakes and lagoons, giving access to destinations without a fixed runway. Scheduled flights currently run between Colombo and Trincomalee, Ampara, Arugam Bay, Tissamaharama, Hambantota, Dikwella, Koggala, Bentota, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Dambulla (with more destinations in the north and east planned). There are also 30-minute scenic flights from Colombo, Kandy and Dambulla. The only other scheduled domestic air services in Sri Lanka at present are Expo Air’s flights to Jaffna.

If money’s no object and you’re really in a hurry, you can charter a helicopter or private plane throughSimplifly.

By car

As Sri Lankans say, in order to drive around the island you’ll need three things: “good horn, good brakes, good luck”. Although roads are generally in quite good condition, the myriad hazards they present – crowds of pedestrians, erratic cyclists, crazed bus drivers and suicidal dogs, to name just a few – plus the very idiosyncratic set of road rules followed by Sri Lankan drivers, makes driving a challenge in many parts of the island.

Self-driving

If you’re determined to drive yourself, you’ll need to bring an international driving licence, and then acquire an additional permit to drive in Sri Lanka. These can be obtained from the Automobile Association of Ceylon. They are valid for up to twelve months and are issued on the spot.

It’s also worth equipping yourself with a good map or atlas (such as theArjuna’s Road Atlas). In terms of driving rules, it’s worth remembering that, in Sri Lanka, might is right: drivers of larger vehicles (buses especially), will expect you to get out of the way if they’re travelling faster than you. In addition, many drivers overtake freely on blind corners or in other dangerous places. Expect to confront other vehicles driving at speed on the wrong side of the road on a fairly regular basis.

Reliable car hire companies includeLevens Car Rentalwhich has a good range of cars at competitive rates, with or without driver.

Car and driver

Given the hassle of getting around by public transport, a large proportion of visitors opt to tour Sri Lanka by hiring a car and driver, which offers unlimited flexibility and can be less expensive than you might expect. Some drivers will get you from A to B but nothing more; other are qualified “chauffeur-guides”, government-trained and holding a tourist board licence, who can double up as guides at all the main tourist sights and field any questions you might have about the country.

The main problem with drivers is that many of them work on commission, which they receive from some, but not all, hotels, plus assorted restaurants, shops, spice gardens, jewellers and so on. This means that you and your driver’s opinions might not always coincide as to where you want to stay and what you want to do – some drivers will always want to head for wherever they get the best kickbacks (and you’ll also pay over the odds at these places, since the hoteliers, restaurateurs or shopkeepers have to recoup the commission they’re paying the driver). If you find you’re spending more time stressing out about dealing with your driver than enjoying your holiday, find another one – there are plenty of decent drivers out there.

To make sure you get a good driver, it pays to go with a reputable company which employs only Sri Lanka Tourist Board accredited chauffeur-guides. Make sure your driver speaks at least some English and emphasize from the outset where you do and don’t want to go. Some drivers impose on their clients’ good nature to the point of having meals with them and insisting on acting as guides and interpreters throughout the tour. If this is what you want, fine; if not, don’t be afraid to make it clear that you expect to be left alone when not in the car.

Cars and drivers can be hired through any of our recommended Colombo tour operators, or from many other tour companies and travel agents around the island – we’ve listed the most reliable outfits in the relevant places in the Guide. Alternatively, most hotels and guesthouses can fix you up with a vehicle.

Finally, if this all sounds too stressful (and it can be, unfortunately), you could always just hire vehicles by the day as you go round the island. The actual vehicle-hire cost may be a bit higher, but you won’t have to worry about having to house and feed your driver, and they’re less likely to put pressure on you to visit their favourite shops, restaurants and spice gardens.

By rickshaw

The lines of motorized rickshaws that ply the streets of every city, town and village are one of Sri Lanka’s most characteristic sights. Known by various names – tuktuks, three-wheelers, trishaws or (rather more optimistically) “taxis” – they are the staple means of travelling short distances in Sri Lanka, principally short hops within towns, although they can also be useful for excursions and can even, at a pinch, be handy for long journeys if you get stranded or can’t be bothered to wait around for a bus. The vehicles themselves are mainly Indian-made Bajaj rickshaws, often decorated by their drivers with whimsical fluorescent stickers, statuettes, plastic flowers or other items decorative or talismanic.

It’s impossible to walk far in Sri Lanka without being solicited for custom by the owner of one of these vehicles. If you do need a ride, rickshaws are extremely convenient and can even be fun, in a slightly nerve-racking way, as they weave through the traffic, often at surprising speeds. In addition, the sheer number around means that you always have the upper hand in bargaining – if you can’t agree a decent fare, there’ll always be another driver keen to take your custom.

Rickshaws do have their drawbacks, however. They’re not particularly comfortable for long journeys, and you can’t see much. In addition, tuktuks’ diminutive size compared with the buses and lorries they share the road with (and the often gung-ho attitudes of their drivers) can put you at a certain risk, and you’re likely to experience at least a couple of near misses with speeding traffic if you use them consistently for longer journeys.

Sri Lankan rickshaws are usually unmetered (although there are now growing numbers of metered rickshaws in Colombo); the fare will be whatever you can negotiate with the driver.Neverset off without agreeing the fare beforehand. The majority of Sri Lanka’s tuktuk drivers are more or less honest, and you’ll often be offered a decent fare without even having to bargain; a small minority, however, are complete crooks who will (at best) simply try to overcharge you or, at worst, set you up for some kind of scam. Also bear in mind that the longer the journey, the lower the per-kilometre rate should be.

Finally, beware of rickshaw drivers who claim to have no change – this can even apply when trying to pay, say, for a Rs.70 fare with a Rs.100 note, with the driver claiming (perhaps truthfully) to have only Rs.10 or Rs.20 change, and hoping that you’ll settle for a few rupees less. If you don’t have change, check that the driver does before you set off. If you make the position clear from the outset, you’re guaranteed that your driver will go through the hassle of getting change for you rather than risk losing your fare.

Information On Lipo In Norwich

Click Here To Find Out More About:

byAlma Abell

If you have always wanted to have lipo in Norwich, but did not know enough about the procedure to make your decision, this article is here to help. The most essential information on having liposuction surgery from an expert cosmetic surgeon like Martin Cosmetic Surgery is contained below!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eyQY8ZuO8k[/youtube]

One of the first questions about liposuction in the Norwich area is what exactly this surgery can do. The answer is multi part because the liposuction surgery can truly do so much. The most obvious reason for liposuction is the removal of fat, but it is also incredibly useful for contour of the body, in essence providing the shape that you are looking for in addition to the removal of excess fat. Liposuction is most often performed in areas where there is a significant amount of fat to be removed, but the uses for lipo are ever expanding so it can be done on nearly any area of the body now, even one with lesser amounts of excess fat.

The most popular areas of the body for liposuction tend to the so called “saddle bags” of the thighs and the abdominal area. Some other popular areas for lipo in Norwich can include the chin area (for double chin removal,) the upper arms area (for the loose fatty area that tends to grow worse with age,) and even the kneecap area. Some cosmetic surgery patients find that liposuction can provide a viable alternative to a more serious surgery. For example, some candidates for breast reduction surgery would prefer to use liposuction to remove extra fatty tissue from the breasts rather than undergo the breast reduction surgery itself. Recovery from a breast reduction surgery can be considerably longer than recovery from liposuction. Additionally, you may find that liposuction can be quite a bit less expensive than major surgical procedures.

To find out if you are a candidate for liposuction in Norwich it is essential that you consult with a local plastic surgeon about your case. Most healthy people are viable liposuction candidates, but it is important that you have a consultation with your plastic surgeon in Norwich about your goals and expectations for this surgery.

Sophisticated Golfing To The Top Level: The Sky Caddie Sg5

Submitted by: K. Purdenn

Navigation has played an important role in the sport of golf. Golfers need to identify the distance of a course, wind direction, and the hazards that must be avoided to execute shots needed to fulfill the objective of the game, which is knocking the ball into the hole of a golf course. Since the rules against the use of caddies for navigational purposes have been implemented, golfers, both amateur and professional, must find ways to identify the yardage and wind direction to select the correct clubs to use for making shots that can send the ball into the green or luckily, into the hole. How do golf professionals like Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, and Tiger Woods score birdies and eagles in their professional golf careers? They had been in training sessions to enhance their swinging skills and their skills to determine wind direction and the distance of the targeting area desired. As for amateur golfers and golf enthusiasts, determining the factors that can help them hit the ball into the hole has been a tough challenge for them. However, thanks to the global positioning system (GPS) technology, anyone can be able to know the distance of a golf course at a fast pace.

Skygolf has utilized the GPS technology to provide golfers of all skill levels guidance in terms of distance and yardage. The company has achieved it through its creation, the SkyCaddie Rangefinder. The product has several varieties although the company s best navigation product, the SkyCaddie SG5, is known to be a user-friendly and reliable tool to speed up games for golfers. What makes the SkyCaddie SG5 stand out over other commercially available navigational tools is the precise yardage given by its GPS system, wherein you will be able to know the exact yards between the bunkers and the green. Another feature of the product is the digital scoreboard, which provides the golfers with convenience to jot down their scores through the use of the buttons. Since a recent study discovered that SkyCaddie products cut a golf game by 25 minutes, caused by lessening the time spent on measuring the distance and writing golf scores. You don t have to bring your pen and a scorecard to slow you down.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7V973zKSoo[/youtube]

The SkyCaddie SG5 can eliminate problems caused by satellite-based images in identifying distances through its software, the SkyCaddie Desktop. This program connects the device to the SkyGolf website for downloading course data. The device has a USB cable so that you can connect it to your computer for effective data gathering of each golf course you re competing in. Like all SkyCaddie Rangefinders, the SG5 also has an LED that can identify the sign when the rechargeable lithium battery needs to be powered through a battery charger, which is also included in the device s package. The SG5 has a heavy-duty belt clip that can keep the device to the user in a secure and convenient fashion.

With all of these impressive features, you can be ensured that your golf game will be fast and great. After all, SkyCaddie has proven itself as the #1 rangefinder in golf.

Criminal Law Drugs: Police Sniffer Dogs

By Frank Egan – LAC Lawyers

The dogs have been let loose recently. Numerous people have been charged generally involving small amounts of cannabis and MDMA (ecstasy) as a result of over active Labradors at pubs, parties and big days out. A client who recently contacted me was apprehended walking to a dance party in the Botanical Gardens. She had in her possession, 1 joint and 1 pill. The dogs detected her and she foolishly threw away a cigarette pack containing the joint in sight of the police. As the detective was taking her 1 pill and issuing her with a court attendance notice, he blithely noted that he hoped a friend could give her a pill inside the party. Such is the hypocritical operation of drug laws in New South Wales.

What are your rights when a member of the canine constabulary shows you particular attention? The police have no power at common law to search someone prior to arrest. If you are arrested, the police can and will search you and ask you to empty your pockets and go through your clothing. Most minor drug offences are not situations where arrest would normally be appropriate.

Legislation gives the police power to ‘stop search and detain’ if they form a reasonable suspicion that you have committed a drug possession offence. A ‘reasonable suspicion’ involves less than a belief but more than a possibility. There must be some factual basis for the suspicion; reasonable suspicion is not arbitrary.

For minor drug offences the issue is what is a reasonable suspicion and how do the police get their hands lawfully into your pockets. Drug detector dogs are a relatively recent phenomenon on the streets of Sydney and for the police a very useful investigatory tool. A recent Supreme Court decision noted Rocky’s (the drug detector dog) ‘nostrils will flare and he will start to sniff rapidly and he will follow the source of the scent until he has found it.’

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0ph0rA-A9U[/youtube]

To what extent can the police rely on an agitated Labrador trained in drug detection to justify a search? The matter was considered by the supreme Court of NSW in 2004 in Darby’s case. The Supreme Court cast doubt on the legitimacy of the use of police dogs to routinely justify searches. The court also pointed out that having an agitated Labrador jump all over you could constitute an assault and an illegal search. The court nevertheless did not state that drug dogs cannot assist a police officer in forming a reasonable belief that an offence has been committed.

On 22 February 2002, the NSW Parliament enacted the Police Power (Drug Detection Dogs) Act (The Drug Dog Act). The Drug Dog Act continues to allow police to use drug dogs to search an individual once they have formed a reasonable suspicion that an offence has been committed. The Act also gives police wide powers to enter venues and screen persons for drugs with the aid of drug dogs.

The Act provides the police with the power to enter premises and undertake ‘general drug detection’. The police may enter without a warrant any licensed premises, a sporting event, concert or artistic performance, dance part, parade and public transport facilities with a drug detector dog. The definition includes persons seeking to enter or leave any of the above. Accordingly on the train, at the pub and at the footy, the police can put the dogs over you while you are entering and leaving. Any drug detection work conducted by the police outside of this very wide definition requires a warrant.

The issue of what will form a reasonable suspicion is still left to the courts and the Drug Dog Act does not empower the police to arbitrarily search persons. The Act gets the police into venues and gives them the opportunity to screen people. The reaction of a drug dog alone likely does not amount to a reasonable suspicion. The police are told not to rely solely on the reaction of the drug detection dog and observe very closely the reaction of the person subject to screening. If a person bolts, starts walking the other way or discards a cigarette package when detection dog’s nostrils flare in their direction this can empower a police officer to search and detain the individual.

A word of warning! You have rights and the law does provide you with some protection but you should not argue with police. It is an offence to tell a police officer to get f…ked, hinder a police officer and assault a police officer. Police routinely arrest persons for these offences. Be cooperative, do not say anything other than your name and your address and get legal advice if you are charged. There is a time and a place to challenge the police and this is at court with your lawyer. The courts will exclude evidence illegally obtained and the prosecution will fail as a result.

Most importantly stay calm. What will give you away is your behaviour. It is likely that you are not the only person at the big day out who has the smell of cannabis on their clothing. The police will generally not search and detain someone unless they give them some real reason to do so. Do not make it hard on yourself, so stay calm if and when approached and ask are you being arrested; if yes call us!

Take Charge Of Your Health With Herbal Bio Identical Hormones

Bioidentical hormones assist women in overcoming acute menopausal symptoms, while improving skin. They help by strengthening bones, keeping the mind sharp, promoting energy and well-being, and helping to preserve vaginal tone and resist vaginal dryness. In men, these hormones add energy and vitality, while improving muscle tones and mental sharpness. Bioidentical hormones (BHRT) are exact duplicates of the hormones that are produced by the body. However, they are much more easily metabolized by the body into safe forms of estrogen than their counterparts, which stimulate toxic metabolites. When they are used in physiologic amounts, bioidenticals carry much fewer risks than synthetic hormones. However, despite the fact that research supports their use and proves them safe alternatives to prescription drugs, few physicians are actually using these hormones in their practices.

Those patients, who wish to address menopausal and andropause symptoms, or to achieve lifelong hormonal balance in order to prevent illness, often do not know where to go to find a comprehensive bioidentical hormone replacement program. Instead, they read whatever they can to formulate a plan and purchase various products that are available over the counter, often spending precious time and money on programs and products that dont do what theyre expected to do. One of the most common errors among people is putting together a program based solely on symptoms instead of first checking hormone levels. Symptoms may overlap from one hormone pattern to another. If you try to replace or augment specific hormones without having an accurate test of the levels first, your results will seldom be good.

If your doctor is prescribing transdermal hormones, make sure to do a saliva self-test to measure your hormones levels as it is much more accurate and revealing than other types of tests. You can submit your samples to Mead Labs, where you will actually receive a telephone consultation from a health professional to interpret your results followed by a program of products prescribed especially for you from one of their medical professionals. With your own results, you can learn a lot about the exact state of your hormones instead of blindly guessing from symptoms which may be similar. For example, men may not need testosterone shots or transdermal patches, as the results may show estrogen dominance. The answer for this is not adding more testosterone, because the man could be converting testosterone into estrogen, but instead a program including special herbs and nutrients may be much more beneficial.

No matter your gender, your health professional at Mead Labs will design a safe and effective program based solely on bioidentical hormones, herbs, and nutrients first. In the past years, when prescription, non-bioidentical HRT was used by any women with menopausal symptoms, there was no testing to find out what kind of imbalance was actually occurring. Proponents of BHRT are trying to ensure that this method of prescribing the same combination and amounts of medications to everyone is not used with natural hormones. Because hormone profiles and levels can vary significantly from person to person, even those people in the same gender, testing hormones levels and obtaining recommendations from a medical professional who is experienced in BHRT are the key points to ensure you benefit from this therapy.

Home Insurance Storm Warning

By Michael Challiner

We’re all aware of the terrific damage storms have caused in recent years, but despite all the suffering they cause, we all tend to forget about it when the sun’s shining and the birds are singing. That’s a shame really, as it’s just at that time when you could get around to making sure that your home is secure against storm damage.

Falling trees, masonry and roof tiles are the greatest hazards. Obviously they can cause damage to cars and pedestrians, but in the case of roof tiles, they can allow water into the property. Regular inspection and carrying out any necessary repairs can save a whole lot of trouble. If it’s a while since you re-assessed your home insurance policy (incidentally if this is the case, you could be paying a lot more than you need – but more about that later) are you really aware of what is included in your cover if it comes to storm damage?

Maintenance means checking out certain things on a regular basis. Start clearing out the gutters to lessen the risk of them blocking and overflowing, particularly if you have nearby trees which shed leaves, producing a soggy mess. (Good for the compost heap by the way). The roof should be checked too, for loose tiles and at the same time check for chimney crack or pointing problems. Trees, rotten branches and any fences or boundary walls should be secure and stable.

Buildings insurance normally covers damage to the actual structure of your home and outbuildings which are used for domestic purposes, your paths and driveways which are caused by flood and storm. Cover may not necessarily be provided for damage which occurs due to heavy rain or extremely high winds. This seems a very unsatisfactory situation, as it’s surely still a flood or a storm? However, it needs checking out and you may need to add home emergency cover to your policy if it’s not already there. If it’s a while since you re-assessed your home insurance policy (incidentally if this is the case, you could be paying a lot more than you need – but more about that later) are you really aware of what is included in your cover if it comes to storm damage?

On a typical policy from one of the well-known insurers, to add home emergency cover to your current policy would cost less than four pounds a month and offers re-assurance that you would be covered for problems with not only roof damage, but plumbing and drainage, heating and power supply. It’s not total cover, but it does pay up to a maximum of five hundred pounds per claim to cover a call-out charge. Two hours labour costs, with a maximum of a hundred pounds are allowed for parts and necessary materials.

Several providers will offer this type of cover, but it does vary widely between different ones, so read the small print very carefully to make sure you’re getting the cover you need. Whilst talking about small print – if you’ve been with your current home insurer for a while and got used to just renewing the policy every year, you should consider having a look what other insurers are offering. Don’t automatically renew your policy as there could be better deals available. It’s simple enough to check and you can do it on-line.

Paralegals Do They Have A Code Of Ethics?

By Laura McDonald

In a business sense, ethics are a system of moral principles or rules of conduct. Attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants or secretaries have codes of ethics within the legal field. A paralegal should maintain a high degree of professionalism while performing her work. That high degree of professionalism is ensured when she manages her work duties while following a particular code of ethics.

Which ethics affect a paralegal career is best explained by reviewing the Model Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility and Guidelines for Enforcement, which was adopted in May 1993 by the National Federal of Paralegal Associations, Inc.

Section 1 of the Model Code sets forth disciplinary rules and ethical considerations for paralegals.

Section 1.1 A Paralegal Shall Achieve and Maintain a High Level of Competence.

A paralegal’s competence continues to grow by education, training and on-the-job experience. The Model Code states that a paralegal should participate in a minimum of twelve hours of CLE (continuing legal education) every two years. This is an excellent way for legal assistants to stay updated on changes to laws. Her continued training should include at least one hour of ethics education. A paralegal should remain current on changes so she can help clients to the best of her ability.

Section 1.2 A Paralegal Shall Maintain a High Level of Personal and Professional Integrity.

This section deals with a paralegal’s conduct regarding work matters. Paralegals should not discuss cases with court personnel in an attempt to exert influence over a ruling. They may not talk about cases to people who are represented by an attorney without that attorney’s consent.

This section also deals with a paralegal’s billing practices. It says basically that a legal assistant will be honest and accurate in time and expense reporting. By the way, not only is fraudulent billing unethical, it’s a crime. Some of these points are no-brainers but need to be set out nonetheless.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zj39pjfssA[/youtube]

Any cash or money accounts handled by a paralegal through his work should be reported honestly.

Section 1.3 A Paralegal Shall Maintain a High Standard of Professional Conduct.

A paralegal’s conduct will be appropriate, as if he is in front of a court. He shall not engage in violence or be dishonest. He will not interfere in the administration of justice. A legal assistant won’t abuse the powers of a professional position or public office.

Section 1.4 A Paralegal Shall Serve the Public Interest by Contributing to the Improvement of the Legal System and Delivery of Quality Legal Services, including Pro Bono Publico Services.

One way a paralegal can help his community is by volunteering to serve on committees which improve local legal services.

Section 1.5 A Paralegal Shall Preserve All Confidential Information Provided by the Client or Acquired From Other Sources Before, During and After the Course of the Professional Relationship.

I believe this section is the most important one for a paralegal to understand and heed. A paralegal must not discuss any confidential information about a client or case with anyone other than her boss or the client himself. What is confidential information? Why bother trying to dissect it, just don’t talk about it.

It is a paralegal’s responsibility to tell her boss anything she has learned about the case to assist in his representation.

Note that this section specifically states “before, during, and after the course of the professional relationship.” A paralegal should not discuss a case with others even when it is concluded.

Section 1.6 A Paralegal shall Avoid Conflicts of Interest and Shall Disclose any Possible Conflict to the Employer or Client, as Well as to the Prospective Employers or Clients.

If a paralegal may have a conflict of interest in working on a case, she should inform her boss. An example of a possible conflict of interest is if the paralegal was previously employed by a law firm representing an opposing party in the same case. It is probably best that she not work on that case for her current employer at all. When it has been established that a conflict of interest is present, everyone needs to be aware of the situation and cooperate in adequately protecting the client’s interests as well as the paralegal herself by not discussing the case around her and routing paperwork well away from her.

Section 1.7 A Paralegal’s Title Shall Be Fully Disclosed.

A paralegal should include her title on all correspondence, business cards, formal letterhead, pamphlets or any other form of written communication. For example, her signature would read:

Sincerely,

Laura McDonald

Paralegal

This eliminates any possible confusion over what her position is. Some people may assume she is an attorney, and expect or demand more from her than her position allows. This could create major problems, and brings us to our next ethical issue.

Section 1.8 A Paralegal Shall Not Engage in the Unauthorized Practice of Law.

The best rule of thumb to follow is: paralegals may not give legal advice. Check with your local jurisdiction on any possible variances, but basically it means leaving the legal advice giving to the attorneys.

Alternative Plans For Post Graduation

Submitted by: Stewart Wrighter

Going to a university is a goal most teenagers feel like they are obligated to have. Media, school, and often parents are all telling them they need to go to a four-year college or better. Some people cannot always afford that or perhaps do not think that is the right road for them. Schools that train people to be a Dentist assistant are just as valuable. Some people will act as if training to be a dental assistant is not a respectable career path, but it is. Perhaps, an occupation is not your reasoning for not wanting to go to a four-year university. Regardless, here are a few options for graduated high school seniors besides college.

Gap years of service can be a really great way for a person to realize their true potential and calling. Going to an expensive school is a scary though if you are not sure exactly what you want to do. Taking a year and traveling around the country or world and helping people could be a really positive experience.

Gap years do not have to consist of doing service either, however, it is wise to full the year with something. Simply taking a year off can be very dangerous. You run the risk of losing control or becoming too far behind. If you get a steady job and are working up to something, than it can be constructive. Make sure, if you hope to go to college however, you apply on time and are adamant about going back to school, or else you might lose your chance.

Going to an occupational school or trade school is another option. If you cannot afford a university or are not interested in that academic of a future this path is probably for you. Jobs like being a pharmacy assistant make good money and only take a few weeks of training. There are multiple ways one can go about being in such a program. There are multiple online programs that prepare a person for such a job. There are also actual institutes were one would go to class. This is great for someone who does not have a lot of money, but needs a higher paying job.

If your grades are deterring you from a university, because you do not think you will be able to get in, try going to a stepping stone school for a year. A more prestigious college will allow you to enroll if you go to a less prestigious college and improve your academic achievement. Just make sure you will be able to transfer your basic credits

Lastly, if the expense of a four-year university is what is keeping you from going, do not rule out the idea of community college. They may not have the same reputation as other colleges, but they are an effective stepping stone while trying to locate funds for a real university. You can take supplementary and basic classes for a year or so while working in order to save money for a better school.
