Let’s have a closer look at what type of weed makes you sleepy and how you can avoid taking it. That is because you may need to feel energetic and go to work after receiving your daily weed intake the way you like it.

Types of weed that may make you feel sleepy

There are plenty of weed types that are now commercially available for you to take. Let’s have a look at some of them:

Indica

Indica is a type of weed that relaxes your central nervous system. It can act directly to your brain’s dopamine receptors and make you feel calm and relaxed after a long day.

That kind of weed gets mostly cultivated in India or close nations. It is also exported from there to the rest of the world. It would be wiser to take Indica when you have problems falling asleep. If you belong to the persons suffering from insomnia it would be better to try Indica weed before even getting into pills.

That kind of weed is better to consume without mixing with normal tobacco. It would be wiser to prepare a cigarette of Indica weed and inhale it gradually and slowly. You will fall asleep like a baby in just a few minutes.

Let’s see some other strains that answer the question of what kind of weed makes you sleepy.

Death Confidential

It is the only strain of cannabis products that makes you fall asleep right away. You can either have it in oil form or just smoke it. It is not so easy to find especially in the western markets.

When you find the Grandaddy Purple weed strain, you can find the ultimate solution to your sleeping problems. However, if you want to smoke that kind of weed when you attend a social event, it would be better to avoid it.

It has a huge concentration of cannabinoids inside it. That is why it can quickly rampage your dopamine receptors in your brain and set you to sleep for many hours.

Bubba Mask

That is a new kind of weed that is rich in cannabinoids. For that reason, it can give you an appetite urge after you start smoking it. Not only does it connect automatically with the dopamine receptors in your nerve cells, but it also affects the cycle of food consumption in your body.

Several doctors have the Purple Platinum weed strain to people that have suffered from anorexia nervosa. If you are struggling with anorexia, or you can know someone who is. That is a disorder when people deny to take any type of food and lose weight close to the starving levels. That condition is extremely dangerous for their lives, and that is why smoking the Purple Platinum weed may become their only life-saving event.

On the other hand, if you just want to have some fun and are obese, there is no reason to try the Purple Platinum since you will only have more food that will harm yourself. However, if you have insomnia it would be a great help to smoke some weed of that variety.

Chopper Chem (SATIVA)

It is one of the strongest strains of weed that you can smoke and fall asleep for days. That is why you should better start with a small portion of that kind of weed and then go on with a larger amount. It has a good concentration of SATIVA cannabis that is one of the main variations existing in the world.

That variation has a ready to absorb cannabinoid molecule, which can make you feel sleepy even from the first sip. That Chopper Chem is rare to find and would be better to store in a safe place when you have insomnia episodes.

That kind of weed can also make you feel hungry all the time and increase your appetite for junk food and sugar. Cannabinoids act in your brain and imitate the GABA neurotransmitter’s action, which is the natural relaxing substance of your central nervous system.

Snow Angel Hybrid Indica

Finally, that is the kind of weed that will set you to your bed in just a few minutes after consumption. It is the one that will have the least smell of all and can be discrete when you live with others.

Hitting the bull’s eye may be just beginner’s luck. Or, it could be that your arm is just feeling pretty good today. If you want to get better at your dart game, you have to be consistent with your aim. Getting a consistent bull’s eye requires practice, patience, and know-how.

Several techniques will help you throw darts consistently. It would mainly revolve around the proper methods of holding and throwing the darts. To be the best at your game, you need to be well versed in these mechanics.

Tips on How to Throw Darts Consistently

1. Great grip

Hitting a bullseye consistently starts with the proper grip. You have to know how to hold the dart properly. Your grip should have the right amount of tension. It shouldn’t be too soft or too hard. There has to be a specific amount of control every time you hold each dart.

Ultimately, the primary goal of your grip is to keep the dart pointing upwards as you release.

Pencil grip

The best grip that you can use is called the pencil grip. Hold the dart as if you’re holding a pencil. The dart should be placed between your thumb and your first two fingers. Your thumb will be the one in control while the other two fingers are there for support. The two fingers will also guide the dart as you throw it.

The grip should neither be too loose nor too tight. You have to have the right amount of force or control. If the dart barrel is bigger, you have an option to use three fingers for support instead of just two. However, it’s a matter of personal preference. You have to use whichever grip you’re more comfortable.

Remember that the key here is using the grip that will allow you to gain just the right amount of control on the dart barrels.

Some don’ts

First, never use four fingers. It will strain the muscles on your fingers, making release difficult.

Second, don’t hold too tight on the dart. Doing is a big mistake most newbies often make. A too-tight grip will make it difficult for your fingers to release the dart because there is already muscle tension there.

2. The right stance

What is the right stance that can help you throw darts consistently? Well, that depends on you. Find the sweet spot where you’ll feel most comfortable. But at the same time, you should be able to maintain consistency and control.

Most players start by standing with their feet hip-width apart. Then, slowly face the dartboard sideways, with your dominant foot in front. The back foot will be your supporting leg.

If you’re left-handed, your leg foot should be in front. Conversely, if you’re right-handed, your right foot should be in front. It will help you gain more control.

Novices often make the mistake of standing directly in front of the dartboard. Standing head-on with the dartboard won’t help you get a good aim. Instead, face sideways so that you’ll execute a better throw.

Afterward, start to draw an imaginary line from your foot to the dartboard. The toes on your front foot should be directly facing the dartboard. The imaginary line will guide and will help you get a good aim at the board.

Always keep both of your feet flat on the floor. Raising one of either foot can cause imbalance.

3. Setting up for the perfect throw

After positioning your body for the proper stance, the next thing is to prepare yourself to throw the dart.

You will have to position your arm correctly and get a good sight of your target. First off, keep your shoulders and hips straight. Your shoulders should be stacked in front of your hip. Take note that your upper arms should be raised so that the hand holding the dart is parallel to your sightline.

Some players get in the habit of slightly tilting forward as they prepare for releasing the dart. You can also do this one so long as your foot doesn’t go beyond the throw line. Otherwise, you might have to do it all over again.

Be careful not to lean too forward as this can make your stance unstable and affect the way you throw your dart.

4. Releasing the dart

An important tip here is to keep your upper arms and shoulders stationary. If not, there should be minimal movement. As you move and release the dart, the only parts of your body that should move should be your forearms and wrist.

5. Use just the right amount of force

You don’t need to go all Herculean as you release the dart. The dartboard is usually just 5 feet away from you, or even nearer. Hence, there’s no need to use excessive power or force.

As you release the dart, the force should also be coming from your wrist then forearms. Its shield is a fluid, natural movement.

6. Don’t forget to follow through

When you’ve got everything correctly, don’t forget to follow through. This mechanism is often overlooked, especially by beginners. It’s just as important as the grip, stance, and the release.

You have to extend your arms after each release of the darts. It should be a fluid, natural movement.

Final words

Remember, darts is a game of technique, not force. Pub-goers have been practicing this technique going all the way back to the 1500s according to The Toy Report. It entails regular practice to get the perfect grip and stance that would work for you. Trying on different types of grip and stance is encouraged so that you can find the sweet spot that’ll help you throw darts consistently.

Always remember that it has to be something that you’re comfortable doing. Hence, it’s best to find your style following the recommended mechanisms above.

Also, apart from regular dart sessions, you can watch how professional dart players hit the bull’s eye. You can observe and learn from their techniques as well. And if you haven’t had a good aim yet, do not fret. Remember. It’s a game you should also learn to have fun.

10 Pro Tips for Organising a Great Rugby Tour

Organising a rugby tour for the whole team is not an easy task, finding a suitable rugby tournament for the traditional end of season tour many teams alternate between one at home meaning in the UK and then a tour abroad and so forth. The players have high expectations and want the full on team tour with a little rugby thrown in for good measure and it often gets somewhat tricky in trying to satisfy and meet the so called high expectations of all club members. Not to mention that having a great rugby weekend away from home depends equally on the people you take with you and the people who organise it for you!

Krakow rugby festival 2017 video from Krakow Rugby Festival on Vimeo.

So what should be the main points for choosing the right tournament, the right destination and the right organiser?

Flights availability – make sure you destination is easy to get to and well connected with the low cost airlines rather than spending a fortune on flights it’s better to spend it on entertainment and beer.
Look for tournaments played in or around big cities cities always offer a vibrant nightlife which is a great addition to any rugby tour. And they are also well connected in terms of flights.
“Golden mean” – make sure you get the right proportions and the rugby festival you are going to attend offers not only rugby but also beer and the other way around as well ! Jokes aside make sure the Krakow rugby festival (on which you can learn more on polandrugbyfestival.com) you will be joining next season takes care of both the rugby and the fun part. A pub crawl for an opening party is a great start to any rugby tour as well as a ceremonial gala dinner which on the final night. Add live music concerts, pitch-side entertainment, a karaoke night and you will hit the sweet spot!

Accommodation – you don’t want to end up overpaying for pricy hotels, as you will be spending majority of your day (and night) outside, so find accommodation which combines a good price and a central location. This is usually met if you’re booking at either a hostel or an apart-hotel. However, if you’re feeling a bit rich or simply prefer a higher standard, ask your tournament organiser if they can help you with booking a quality hotel. If the answer is “no” you can either look for a deal on the Internet accommodation search engines or you can turn to a professional DMC company, a tour operator which usually offers special rates for group bookings at hotels (e.g.: when visiting Poland one such recommended travel agency is ITS-Poland ). Also DMC companies are required to have a valid tour organiser license, which also includes insurance against bankruptcy, which means your money is safe should something go wrong. Safety is a very important factor, especially when dealing with the money of your club mates!
Alcohol – since beer is the blood of any rugby player you want to make sure you get as much as possible included in the price you pay for the tournament package deal. The best solution is to have an open beer bar pitch-side and during the nightlife organised events. Few tournaments offer this option, but if you make proper research on the Internet, you can find them
Transfers – dealing with local bus companies in foreign countries can be a drag, so save yourself this stress and go for the easy option ask your tournament organizer to provide you with both airport transfers and pitch shuttle transfers. This way you can focus on playing rugby and having fun rather than trying to figure out how to get to the pitch and not be late for your game”

Avoid “sausage parties” – for a good reason, the best rugby festivals are the ones that have both male and female teams.
Ask your organiser for a list of attending teams, as variety is the spice of life as they say. The more international teams attending the better the festival will be. The games also get more intense as you have a feeling of representing your own country when competing against the other teams and not to mention that you make new friends for future collaboration which may result in your next rugby trip to an oriental destination you have not considered before.
Check Facebook opinions of the festival you’re planning to visit, unlike traditional web reviews with Facebook you can check whether team comments or reviews are genuine and you can contact the previous years’ teams directly and ask them how they found the tournament and what were the pros and cons. Genuine testimonials are your best option to check the tournament’s credibility

Speak to the organiser, in fact, make a telephone call or an online media chat with the person who is organising the services for you. Ask them difficult questions and see how easily they come up with the answers to see if they are just selling the tournament or they truly live it.

Hope these 10 pieces of advice will help you plan and organise your next rugby trip. Have a kracking time – drink beer and play rugby!

7 Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Catering Service

By

Paul Christopher

-

September 3, 2020

Catering services are very popular between those who often need to organize some events, for some family celebration, or when you have a lot of guests at home, and you don’t have much time to cook for them. Also, the table should be arranged nicely, and not everyone has the talent to serve the food so it will look beautiful and mouthwatering.

Most of these services will provide a tailored and customized menu, following the duration of the event, the food preferences of most of the invited guests, creating great looking plates with a lot of delicious food. But, in order to avoid mistakes, you need to exactly know what you are looking for. Since they work with food, and a lot of people will have to eat it, you need to avoid these mistakes:

1. Choosing the cheapest option

If you want a service that will deliver a quality, then you need to skip the cheapest caterings and find something mid-range. It’s normal to try to save money, but you can save them on everything, not on food and drinks. We are not saying that cheap and new services are necessarily bad all the time, but you need to play smart and safe. Cheap restaurants may be a good option for private events that don’t include coworkers and other people you meet while at work. And of course, keep it simple, but effective, and pay attention to the aesthetic aspect of the whole concept.

2. Choosing the most expensive option

Again, if you don’t hire the cheapest offer, you also better not hire the most expensive too. They may charge you a lot, putting their name on the plates and napkins, and serving average food that only looks fancy. Like there is some unwritten rule, they will try to serve some unusual ingredients that not all the guests will enjoy eating. Fancy ingredients don’t mean nice tasting food, and you must be careful with these offers.

Also, avoid specific foods and ingredients, that not everyone likes, such as caviar, raw fish, and especially every type of raw food that spoils easily when served.

3. Services that don’t offer special menus

Many people today are allergic to some ingredients, like nuts, or some seeds. Some of the guests may be lactose or gluten intolerant. There also may be vegetarians and vegans, and you need to take every option possible. That means you will need to have separate options for these people. The catering employees should pay a lot of attention to these details. For example, they should never mix the gluten-free food with the products that contain it, because even a single particle can be damaging to those who are allergic or suffer from Celiac disease. When it comes to allergies, professionals will always list the critical ingredients, so the guests will know what are they allowed to eat.

This is a very important aspect to pay a lot of attention to because you don’t want unpleasant accidents and situations after someone ate something they shouldn’t even touch it.

4. Not paying attention to how they keep the food

Every ingredient and product should be kept in proper conditions and temperature, so you can avoid spoiling. Professional catering services will always keep the food cool until they deliver it with a special vehicle that will maintain a proper temperature. If they need to serve fresh food, be sure that it’s not actually frozen and unfrozen too many times, because that meals will lose the colour, taste, and texture, according to CPD Online.

5. Hired people are not wearing proper clothes

When a catering service serves food for a huge group of people, they also need to provide the needed number of staff members. Another important thing is wearing hygienic gloves while they serve food, especially if you must organize an event during these times of restrictive protection measures. But, even when it’s not pandemic, the staff should always wear nice and clean clothes, and hygienic hats on their head, so no hair falls in the food anyhow. This protocol should always be implemented when food is served.

6. Not hiring catering’s staff to serve the event

Since the same company knows the best what they prepared and how to combine the food with the drinks, it’s always a better idea to hire their waiters and pay for a full service. You may think you will save money if they just bring the food and then leave, so you can invite people you know to serve. But, saving money on this shouldn’t be your priority, and the best choice is hiring the whole staff that the service offers for the customers.

7. Buying too much or too little food

We can never know how much food is enough, but it’s always better to plan a little more than you think that guests will eat. If you stay without food in the middle of the event, it will be a huge shame for you or the company you work for. On the other hand, if there is too much food left after the party or any kind of event, you can always donate the food, or take it home, or at the office. The problem with the food waste is huge, but let’s be honest, it’s always better to have more meals than you planned, instead of no food in the middle of the event.

Serving food on parties, celebrations, or different types of formal events is not a joke, and no one should treat it like that. Food and drinks are a very important part of these occasions, and you don’t want something bad to happen because you weren’t careful enough when you hired the catering company. Be careful about the things we explained in this article, and probably you won’t have any problem related to the service.

Snorting Kratom – is It a Good Idea?

Kratom is a very popular plant from the coffee family that is usually used in traditional medicine as an opioid and stimulant supplement. Since it’s not legal in every part of the world, there are no strict rules and standards that control the sale of oils and pills that contain kratom. Sometimes people vape it, but there are some cases when they are actually snorting the powder that is derivate from the plant.

As we know from the drugs, snorting any type of substance can be dangerous from the nose canals and can lower the production of mucus, which covers the membranes and stop the particles from the outside world to get into our body. If you are planning to take it as a dietary addition to your food, you need to consult with your doctor or pharmacist or visit this site, to check if it’s good to use it, and more importantly, how to use it.

But, why people choose to snort or smoke it?

According to many users, it takes less time when you snort or smoke kratom until it gets in your body and you see and feel the effects. But, you can read how dangerous and damaging this action can be, if you decide snorting the kratom so it can boost your energy or the metabolism at the same moment. If you take it as a pill, it will take up to four hours until you see some benefit, but on the other hand, the effect lasts longer, and you will feel the benefits for a prolonged period.

Even though it takes a few minutes to work after you snort it, you should avoid doing that, because you can’t take enough (in the meaning of quantity). Instead, it’s better to use capsules, pills, tea, or tincture. The raw kratom products contain substances and alkaloids that can’t be absorbed and used by the body, so there is no need to risk damaging your respiratory system by doing that.

In 16 countries around the world, kratom is approved, but highly controlled, and it can be bought with a doctor’s recommendation. But, there are many cultures, and traditional medicine methods that use it, so the patient can get stress-free, cure headaches, calm down, cure the hair loss, or empty the stomach in a case of constipation. But, you must be careful about the side effects, that may include changes in the heart rate and your blood pressure, but also seizure, heavy breathing, and even addiction. You need to remember that kratom is still not much examined and researched plant and there are limited sources that show it’s really beneficial for us. Check if it’s allowed or restricted in your country because you don’t want to put yourself in a risk of having problems with the law.

Possible benefits of taking kratom

As we know, some Asian cultures are using it in their traditional medical treatments, and according to their results, it works great for some specific conditions, that include some wounds, headaches, or even boosting your energy when you have difficult tasks to finish.

Other reasons why it’s used include:

easing muscle pain
boosting the energy
increase the appetite when you can’t really eat
increasing the libido and sexual desire
wound healing in some situations
local anesthesia when traditional treatment is applied
the tea can be used as a cough treatment
recreational use in controlled conditions
giving up on drugs and opioids (it’s also controlled by a professional)
enhance the mood
against migraines and tension headaches

In Thailand, people are using in religious rituals, when they are inviting and worshipping the gods and saints in their tradition.

When the tea is prepared, it should be combined with sweet plants, or with added sugar, because of the bitterness. Also, if you are not sure, and you are afraid to take it, avoid it. You can try with drinking tea, but avoid snorting it, even if all of your friends are doing that.

Possible negative and side effects of kratom usage

Every treatment, no matter if it’s approved or not, may have side effects that can vary between mild, moderate, and extremely bad, including:

erectile dysfunction
excessive sweating
some changes of the color on some skin spots
appetite loss
dehydration
addiction
respiratory issues when snorting
fever
nausea
impaired movements
anxiety and mood changes
prolonged anger
bad sleeping at night
poisoning if the plant is not harvested properly, or kept in bad conditions

If you are taking some prescribed drugs, you must give up on taking kratom, because if you mix some of them, the results may be very dangerous for your life.

Some of these side effects may occur if you snorting the product, or smoking too. Even though some people are taking it that way, if you never tried it before, you may need to start with a tea or pills and capsules.

Conclusion: Snorting is, in general, bad idea

You can’t compare yourself with the people who traditionally are taking kratom, and try to use it as they do. You must be careful and know how much you can handle. Also, the reason why you are using it may affect the way you need to take this plant-based traditional drug. But, we will recommend you to nicely research the background, and see the scientific studies that show it’s beneficial for your health. You need to buy it from trusted sources and registered producers.

As we said, don’t snort it, because it can be damaging for your nose and throat, and the effects won’t last long, and you will need to take it again. Snorting a few times in a row is a bad idea by itself, and we don’t need to mention how harmful it can be for your nose membrane.

And in the end, the decision whether you will take or deny some medical treatment depends only on you. That’s why you must be smart and don’t test your limits, especially when it comes to natural plant treatments.

5 Most Popular Gambling Superstitions Among Casino Players

When talking about gamblers, we are probably talking about the most superstitious people in the world. At the same time, they are looking for everything that will provide them with a positive result. It doesn’t matter how silly it looks, they truly believe that these things will improve their chances. In case you know some of them, you’ve certainly been presented with some silly request, like to move from left to right side, or something similar.

What’s important for you to know is that nobody is playing with you, gamblers seriously hope that your action will improve their final influence over the final result. This is something that can be seen in casinos. But you cannot see it in online casinos. If you are interested in checking one of the best you can find, check casinokokemus. Now, there is one question about these superstitions, where does it come from? From our personal experience, we can see that people who are under pressure and are losing control over their game, need some sense of control.

This is a true source of these superstitions. As we’ve already said, it doesn’t matter how strange they sound, you can be sure that your friend sincerely means that, and there is nothing you can do to help him to feel a little better by providing him with some sense of control. At the same time, you can see that there are some superstitions that are not depending on other people. The internet is filled with many different stories about celebrities like Axl Rose, John Wayne, and Michael Jordan and their gambling superstitions.

For example, the famous actor never put his hat on the bad since he believed that it brings bad luck. Experts state that gamblers have a selective memory where they remember the moment they manage to come out with a positive result and that this is the source of their superstition. Well, after all this talk, let us take a look at some of the most popular gambling superstitions among casino players.

1. Itchy Palms

Did you experience your palms getting itchy? Well, this is a situation most of the people think about as a perfect sign for you to start gambling. This fantasy originated in Eastern Europe, especially Bulgaria and Serbia. However, in these two countries, itchy palms have a completely different connotation. In Serbia, this is a good sign, and it means that money is pretty close to you.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with you taking part in gambling. In Bulgaria, it’s completely the opposite. This is the moment when you should give up on gambling that day. However, this superstition managed to spread all over Europe and North America over time.

2. Counting Money on the Table

One of the most popular superstitions is that you shouldn’t count money while you are playing at a table. What separates this superstition from many other ones is that it sounds pretty reasonable. So, you shouldn’t count the money while you are still playing. There will be a plethora of time for you to actually do it after it.

Not only that it is considered bad luck, many gamblers consider this action to be of pretty bad taste. Plus, we can see that many gamblers think that this is offensive towards other players who are playing alongside the one who counts his money on the table. So, every player needs to wait until he or she is out of the casino and at home. Only when you are out of the table, you can count the money.

3. Lending Money

Now, we’ve reached probably the most popular superstitions of them all. You should never, and we mean never, lend your money to the person who plays alongside you. In fact, many people believe that this superstition, in fact, has some validity to it. In greater detail, gamblers think that giving money to another player at the table means that you are testing your faith by providing money to another player.

At the same time, since the player asks for a loan, he is on a pretty bad streak. This means that you don’t have almost any potential to win your money back. So, by giving your money to another player, chances are that you will never see it again. Therefore, it has some validity in it, right?

4. $50

All of us surely have seen at least one of many gangster movies during our lifetime. Moreover, Las Vegas is a city completely built from mafia money. The person responsible for the creation of this city, and its idea, was Bugsy Siegel. Those with a quick eye have seen that gangsters always stick $50 into their victim’s pockets before they bury it.

Since a lot of these liquidations occurred in Nevada Desert, using $50 in playing is considered extremely bad luck. At first, this superstition became a major one in the city of Las Vegas. However, over time, it managed to spread all over the US. This superstition goes so far that many people have a tendency to take smaller notes than $50 when cashing in their chips.

5. Lucky and Unlucky Numbers

Naturally, the most common superstitions when it comes to gambling is a pure number superstition. So, whatever number you consider lucky, you should play it. In case you have unlucky numbers, you should avoid it. In the Western part of the world, number 13 is considered extremely unlucky. This fear is something so big that some buildings simply skip the 13 floors and from 12 come to 14. Playing this number, especially on roulette is considered a complete misfortune.

At the same time, number 7 is generally seen as a number that will provide you with a plethora of good luck. When it comes to the Eastern hemisphere, there is much more complicated than that. For some reason, number 4 is considered bad luck. At the same time 9, 6, 3, are considered a combination that will provide you with some good luck.

For any damage or restoration strategy, there are plenty of cheap alternatives available, but that are not durable and can cost you even more in the long run. So, when you are making the deal, you must invest your money in a reliable solution instead of a cheap solution.

3. The company should be certified

Similar to all the competitive industries, the restoration industry also has its body for issuing authenticated certificates to worthy companies. Institute for Inspection, Cleaning, Restoration Certification (IICRC) or the Restoration Industry Association (RIA) are the two top certifications that a restoration company may procure. The certificate verifies the company’s credentials and operations industrially. Click Here if you want to see the sample of a certified professional tile & floor restoration company.

4. Settling insurance claims

Settling insurance claims is another significant task of a restoration company. The usual homeowners and businessman are not so familiar with the terms and requirements of an insurance service provider, here the need for restoration experts arises. A restoration company should have specific officers that deal with such financial matters. The report generated by the restoration company should contain as the bills of the damage expenses and other supporting evidence. As if the submitted documents are in the incorrect format or any necessary document or relevant evidence is missing, the insurance service provider will reject the request instantly.

5. The company should be insured

If the company is insured, that means its employees and equipment are in the proper working condition and well-maintained. Some restoration processes are long-term and may require constant inspection and maintenance if the restoration company is not well-established; it will cause a lot of problems later. The restoration process can be prone to risk, so we must ensure that the company is deep-rooted and secure.

6. Customer reviews and ratings

Always go through the customer reviews and ratings given on the website of the restoration company. Many customers add their experience with the company on social-media through Quora or other forums. Before hiring any company, we must go through the experience details shared by others, so that we a distinct picture of the quality of the service provided and the reliability and dedication level of the company. If the company is in your neighbourhood, you can contact your friends and neighbours for their feedback. We learn and gain from other’s experience, so we must refer to them.

7. Availability in terms of time and location

Any ideal restoration company should provide twenty-four hours service that too seven days a week, as disasters are known for being abrupt. Fire damages, water damages or any other damage or emergency may occur any time. A good restoration company should be deep-rooted at least in its city, with a significant number of branches or offices, so that a prompt service can be given to the citizens.

8. Payment procedure

You must never pay any restoration company upfront, without knowing the estimate of the repair. An ideal restoration company always gives you a detailed report about the expenses incurred and the corresponding repair procedure. This helps in getting a proper understanding of the entire procedure and assures that your money is being spent wisely. The estimation report also helps us in making the insurance claim later.

9. Set of services offered

Many damages are inter-linked, like roof damages often lead to water damage, water damage often lead to drywall damage, so we must make sure that the restoration company covers a wide range of damages. Apart from the basic services of cleaning and repair, the restoration provider should be efficient enough to assist you in settling insurance claims and documentation of the expenses.

Krakow in winter time is becoming very popular for tourists looking for that little extra besides the usual winter sports opportunities. Snow laden Krakow presents a fairy tale image of white topped buildings and glistening trees reflecting the sunlight. It looks fantastic but what can you do during your break? Here are some suggestions on sights, activities and places to visit.

Christmas Market

Krakow’s Christmas market is held on Rynek Square in the Old Town or city centre, the whole square is filled with quaint wooden stalls offering everything you can imagine. This tradition of the Christmas market first started before the 2^nd World War then ceased under USSR rule to be re-instated in 1989 after the fall of communism. It commences in early December and continues until early January.

Apart from the usual souvenir sellers many artisans from the surrounding towns and cities bring their local specialities and wares to sell to the abundant amount of visitors during the Festive Season. Some of the more unusual artefacts on are sheepskin and cattle leather products, honey and gingerbread, intricate lace products and handmade carpentry utensils.

There are also food stalls serving regional winter recipes to combat the minus temperatures and another Polish speciality of mulled wine and beer served piping hot to keep out the winter chill while listening to Christmas carols being sung by groups of people dressed in traditional period clothing with candle lamps and chestnuts roasting.

Szopki

The well-known carol of Away in a Manger comes to mind when you hear Szopki as they are nativity creations of Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus in his crib but in Polish style with bright colourful scenes of turrets and arches resembling the central building on Rynek called Sukiennice. They come in all different sizes and are displayed around the various monuments in Krakow. This tradition stems back to the Middle ages and the main exhibition is held in Celestat Exhibition Hall. Many of the interpretations of the traditional nativity scene as you may know it are absolutely amazing and adds to the spirit of Yuletide festive greetings.

Ice Skating

Every winter ice skating rinks are set up, the main one being in Jordan Park, you can hire out the skates and spend an hour of fun trying stay on your feet. In recent times other seasonal ice rinks have appeared and Galleria Krakowska Shopping Mall has one on the square next to the train station and a little further from the city centre in the Nowa Huta area of Krakow which is an attraction in itself as Nowa Huta was created as a live, play, work project under the Russian regime after WWII with the workers accommodation separated by a green area the factory zone, a concept at that time proved successful and today a charming sightseeing tour.

Sleigh Rides

Rynek the main square is lined with the Horse & Carriage operators ready to give you a tour of the city but in winter a visit to the nearby Ojców National Park and you can have a fantastic or even romantic sleigh ride in the snow filled countryside with the elegantly decorated horses and jingle bell your way through the forest.

Krakow Nightlife

Although nightlife in Krakow is vibrant all year round, winter time is a great time to explore the abundance of Krakow cellar bars and clubs. From cozy places to huge nightclubs for 2000 people Krakow has it all. If you are into craft beer, there are 2 microbreweries just around the Market Square, plus plenty of craft beer pubs. If wine is your thing, then you will surely enjoy mulled wine which you can try at one of many “barrel-kiosk” at the Main Market.

And last but not least- great Polish vodka. Specialist companies provide well organised vodka tasting activities tours plus cocktail making events (you might want to check Party Krakow if you’re planning a stag do in Krakow) . The arranged events include Guides and platters of drinking snacks to complete the experience.

Zakopane

Visitors to Krakow often take advantage the day trips to the nearby picturesque country-side and the breath-taking views of the Tatra and Pieniny Mountain ranges along with their respective national parks. The Tatra Mountains are home to Zakopane and a little further south the Pieniny Mountain range which is shared between Poland and Slovakia. Zakopane is the most well-known, popular and all year destination in Poland that Polish families flock to visit during the seasonal festivities and holidays. Poland’s highest city in altitude, at just over 11,000m has its origins with the highlander settlers from as far back as the 15^th century with mining for copper, silver and gold and, of course, farming, one of the oldest ironworks established in the 19^th century.

Nestled in the Tatra Mountains close to the Zakopianka River the city offers a wide variety of activities for visitors in the winter season. The journey from Krakow takes 90 minutes. After The Great War Zakopane became popular with artists, writers and poets who wished to find inspiration in the peace and quiet this mountain location provided. They resided in many of the Dom Kultury which are still there today and made available for tourist lodging although there are plenty of quality hotels that have been built to accommodate the ever increasing visitors.

Zakopane is abundant with museums and galleries populating the area, the Tatra Mountain Museum exhibiting the history and lives of the highland families, Zakopane has its own thermal spas and well-being centres to relax in after a full day’s skiing or snowboarding. Horse and olde worlde wooden sleigh carriages with a driver in highlander dress will be happy to take you on a tour If you are really adventurous there are some highlander dishes to try but not found in the more mainstream restaurants.

Zakopane is the Poland’s winter capital and the activities available go from downhill skiing or skiing tours, snowboarding, cross country ski trekking, snowmobiling, horse and husky sleigh tours, quad biking, snow shoe walking tours and the nation’s cherished sport of ski jumping.

All of these activities except ski jumping can be taken for short or longer periods according to your length of stay with all the equipment necessary if you don’t have your own. Let’s say that you could go skiing for the day even if your accommodation is in Krakow with the many companies offering package deals to suit.

Are Online Casinos the Answer to Economic Recovery in the US?

September 2, 2020

After months of a nationwide lockdown in the US, an economic crisis was inevitable. The country depends on businesses that involve face to face transactions immensely. And since they had to close down for safety reasons, there was little anyone could do to protect the economy.

Luckily, not every industry has been hard hit by the lockdown. Some sectors like online casinos have been thriving amid everything happening in the world. So, should every state legalize online gambling? Could online casinos provide a solution to America’s economic challenges?

Over One Million Jobs

One of the most devastating impacts of the nationwide lockdown regards job losses. CNBC reports over 47 million Americans have lost work temporarily or permanently since March. That translates to 32.1% of the nation being unemployed.

Against that backdrop, there’s a dire need for job creation. Could online casinos be the answer? Legalizing online gaming countrywide would help create at least one million jobs according to financial experts.

To expound, Britain’s online gaming sector employs 107,000 people. And the UK is a fraction the size of Texas. New Jersey, one of the few states where online gaming is legal, has already recovered the 11,000 jobs lost after five casinos shut down in 2014.

Better yet, the Garden State has added 35,000+ jobs since it legalized online gaming in 2018. If every state were to add a similar number of jobs through online casinos, at least 1,750,000 new jobs would be created.

$20 Billion in Revenue

Last year, New Jersey casinos generated $3.4 billion from the casino industry. Pennsylvania’s gambling sector generated an almost equal amount of money. This shows there’s immense potential in the iGaming sector—only that more states haven’t realized it yet.

In all fairness, New Jersey and Pennsylvania host almost all of the best online casino sites in the USA as discussed on the bestonlinecasino.com. That’s because of their progressive gaming laws. They were also two of the top four to legalize online casinos in the country.

With that in mind, there’s hope things will get better starting next year once the economy opens up fully. Britain’s remote gaming industry generates the country roughly $7 billion each year. And as we mentioned earlier, its market is significantly smaller than the US.

Britain has a mature online gaming market, though. And it took decades for the island to have an industry that generates so much revenue. That said, America’s gigantic market means it could dwarf Britain’s gaming revenue in just a few years.

$1Billion+ Tax Income

Online casinos are a taxation cash cow for countries and states that have legalized it. Take New Jersey as an example. It generated $36 million last year through direct tax income from online casinos.

Across the Atlantic, Britain generated $3.8 billion in the same period. The income was an increase from 2018 despite the fact that a new law was introduced to limit betting amounts in the country.

Interestingly, Britain has a significantly lower tax rate than many US states where remote gaming is allowed. New Jersey is an exception with a 13% tax rate although it also charges gamblers. Britain does not.

As an estimate, American states could generate a combined $2 billion if they taxed casinos in the same way New Jersey does. But considering some jurisdictions charge up to 50%, online casino tax could become a critical source of income for many states.

Protection from Future Lockdowns

As the US prepares to open up after months of a lockdown, experts are asking for one thing. America should consider online-based jobs. Not everyone will get employed in the remote gaming sector.

In fact, online casinos are only one industry of the many Internet-based sectors not affected by the lockdown. However, they provide proof that America’s economic future lies online. More people should consider Internet-based jobs for a quick recovery of the economy.

Some organizations like Facebook and Google are a step ahead and will allow their employees to work from home until 2024. These companies believe an online-work environment is feasible and needed to avoid the sort of economic loss suffered this year.

Is it possible for all businesses to move online? Most likely not. However, many industries can move some sections of their departments online. That way, whole industries don’t have to be shut down during future pandemics.

Casino Gaming as a Profession

So far, we’ve said online casinos could add nearly million jobs through professions like dealers, managers and customer service agents. But there’s one more position we haven’t mentioned yet: gaming as a career.

Some people don’t believe it’s possible to play casino games professionally. Yet, professional gamblers exist. A huge portion of them bet on sports and poker. But there’s a small group that also delves into blackjack, slots and roulette.

Professional casino players choose their games carefully. They have strategies, goals, and tactics for maximizing their profits. Some of them also take online classes and subscribe to magazines just to sharpen their skills.

With that in mind, most casino millionaires made their money through sheer luck. They took a risk with a small bet, spun the reels of a slot machine and hit the jackpot. The luckiest winner is a British ex-soldier who won £13.2 million in 2015.

Ending the Black Market

Legalizing online casinos could shutter a black-market worth billions of dollars. It’s already happening according to the American Gaming Association (AGA). Before 2018, the majority of bets in America took place through unregulated casinos.

But after the landmark SCOTUS decision in 2018, black market sports betting has decreased by 25% based on a study by the AGA. The American Gaming Association also discovered 74% of Americans want the country to legalize online casinos.

In other words, the people who drive the black-market are willing to end it under proper circumstances. Of course, the conditions in question include legalizing all forms of online gaming in every state.

Another condition is to provide a friendly tax environment. States could end taxation for player wins or keep it low. That way, casino players will no longer have a reason to gamble at unregulated overseas gaming websites.
