Psychological Consequences of Abortion

June 19, 2020

Abortion may have a significant impact on every kind of relationship. It’s not only about women’s relationship with her partner that can be affected, but also with the other members of the family, or her other children. Our friends from Aastra Women’s Center helped us summarise these psychological consequences of abortion.

The types of potential emotional and psychological side effects following an abortion are:

Regret
Anger
Guilt
Shame
Sense of loneliness or isolation
Loss of self-confidence
Insomnia or nightmares
Relationship issues
Suicidal thoughts and feelings
Eating disorders
Depression
Anxiety

The rate of breakups and relationship dissolution after abortion is from 40% to 75%, which is usually related to the breakdown of trust and intimacy. Many women can experience guilt, depression, and anger that is related to feelings of having been let down by the partner, which leads to communication problems and, in many cases, sexual dysfunction. If their partners manipulated or forced them to have an abortion, women typically tend to feel angry and betrayed, while men usually feel a loss of control and pride.

Psychological Damage

A woman that is experiencing emotional distress may attempt to blame her boyfriend or husband for the abortion. She may think that her partner didn’t provide sufficient support for continuing the pregnancy. Following the abortion, a woman might be unable to remain in a relationship in which she thinks that the man has abandoned her. The guilt that she feels can impact her ability to relate to her partner, which can lead to a complete breakdown of intimacy and communication.

Women can also feel betrayed because of being coerced by her partner to abort against her judgment. In that case, she can feel like that man has manipulated her. The damage of her self-perception can be immense, and life in this kind of relationship might be emotionally untenable.

Sexual Relations

In some cases, a woman who feels shame or anger can have problems with sexuality after abortion. Around 20% of women have a reduction in libido three months following the abortion. One of the most critical factors in the breakup of a relationship after the abortion is the disillusionment experienced by the woman. Women may still respond powerfully to men who they love, and who are entirely committed to the family. When a partner fails in these tasks, a woman can feel deserted, and she disengages emotionally.

Parents and Abortion

The most frequent image is a young teenager being taken to an abortion clinic by her concerned but controlling parents. The focus of concern is usually the young woman and her reactions to abortion. The impact that such a choice has on the fabric of family life should be considered much more than it is. When their parents aren’t informed about an abortion decision, and when preabortion counseling doesn’t address these issues as well as the relational context of the pregnancy, emotional traumatization is typically inevitable.

Most young women feel like they must deny any of the negative effects to preserve the belief that their parents did what was best for them. After it is over, the abortion is often never mentioned again, as if it had never happened. This strategy is cognitively incompatible with a healthy relationship.

But what about the parents who consider abortion as a morally unacceptable thing and who don’t want to provide support for their daughter during her abortion? Many commentators consider their failure to stand by and accept a decision to abort as a cause of women’s post-abortion distress.

The position of these kinds of parents may contribute to post-abortion distress, but so does the choice to abort that may have an overall effect on family relationships. Lack of support can occur before the adolescent becomes pregnant, because teenagers operate at the egocentric level of cognitive development, and they tend to see the world only in terms of themselves.

Who is more prone to emotional side effects

Anyone can experience an unexpected emotional or psychological side effects following an abortion. Most women report that having an abortion affected them more than they expected. With that in mind, some individuals are more susceptible to experiencing some type of emotional or psychological struggle. Those with a higher probability are:

Individuals with previous emotional or psychological concerns
Individuals who have been forced or persuaded to have an abortion
Individuals whose religious beliefs conflict with abortion
Individuals whose moral or ethnical views conflict with abortion
Individuals who get an abortion in the later stages of pregnancy
Individuals who don’t enjoy support from their partners regarding the abortion
Women obtaining an abortion for genetic or fetal abnormalities

Recommendations for women considering an abortion

Get help – The most important and maybe the most helpful thing women that are facing an unplanned pregnancy can do is to communicate with trained professionals. They can answer any questions and discuss individual circumstances.
Don’t be isolated – Women experiencing unplanned pregnancy often tend to withdraw from others. It seems to them that it would be easier to keep the matter a secret and face the issue alone. No matter how difficult it may seem in the beginning, it is important to stay connected with family and friends who can support you, since too much isolation in this situation can lead to depression.
Evaluate your circumstances – We have talked about women who are more prone to emotional side effects. Always discuss your situation with people that can help by giving you a different perspective and understanding.
Avoid pressure – Many people often pressure us to do what they think is right disregarding the way we may feel about the issue. Whether you decide to be a parent, choose adoption, or have an abortion, you are the one who is going to have to live with the choice you made.
Talk to people with similar experiences – If you know someone who has gone through an unplanned pregnancy or had an abortion, it is a smart thing to talk to them. Share your thoughts, fears, and expectations, since these people know what you are going through and can understand all your concerns.

Online Poker: The Fundamental Differences Between Virtual and Physical Poker

Are you a poker aficionado? However, are you used to going to play poker at the local brick-and-mortar casino? Are you interested in moving across to the online environment? What is the difference between online poker and poker players in a physical locale?

There has been widespread and sustained adoption of the virtual casino environment driven by the global lockdown or shelter-in-place requirements. The world is cautiously emerging into the New Normal. However, it will be months or even years before the world goes back to what it was in 2019. Therefore, there is an anticipation that the virtual poker will continue to gain the widespread traction it has during the first half of 2024.

The differences between online and brick-and-mortar poker

Poker is defined as “any of a number of card games in which players wager over which hand is best according to that specific game’s rules in ways similar to these rankings.” They use a standard deck of cards, and “games vary in deck configuration, the number of cards in play, the number dealt face up or face down, and the number shared by all players, but all have rules which involve one or more rounds of betting.”

Consequently, based on this definition, it is essential to note that poker is poker, irrespective of the platform or environment it is played in. The same mathematical truths and betting tactics apply to both online and brick-and-mortar poker.

Nonetheless, there are several substantial differences between playing poker online and in a room with other people; the most important difference being that virtual poker games are hosted by Casimba, an online casino, and brick-and-mortar poker is played in a physical cardroom, mostly hosted by a casino.

Therefore, it is crucial to adjust your gaming strategies from the physical environment to the online ecosystem.

Apart from the physical locale, some of the other differences include:

The speed of the game

Online poker games are much faster than physical poker games. The virtual dealer deals double the number of hands per hour than a human dealer in a brick-and-mortar casino. Ergo, a computer dealer can deal between 60 and 80 hands per hour, while a human dealer can only deal between 30 and 40 hands per hour. The principal reason for this is because functions like the shuffling of cards, the determining of the best hand, and the awarding of the winning pot are automated.

Online poker is less social

Part of winning at poker includes successfully reading the “tells” that potentially give away the strength, or weakness, of the other players’ hands. And, a player who is skilled at reading these “poker tells” has an improved chance of winning.

This ability is taken away in online poker, simply because you are playing against a computer-generated opposition. Even if you are playing against human opponents, their identities are concealed in the virtual environment. It is well-known that people behave differently when their true identities are hidden.

Research has shown that that people tend to say and “do things in cyberspace that they normally would not do in the face-to-face world.”

Therefore, when playing poker, players can react more aggressively. Thus, you will see frequent bluff-raises and check-raises. Succinctly stated, people are less afraid of making fools of themselves in the virtual space.

Hourly win/loss rates are magnified

Because the number of games played per hour is double that of a brick-and-mortar cardroom, the number of bets per hour is also much higher. For example, a good poker player can sit down at a brick-and-mortar Texas Hold’em poker table with a £100 and make the money last for a couple of hours. Juxtapositionally, the corresponding £100 will only last about 45mins at a virtual poker table. The common denominator here is that both these gaming environments offer £3/6 low-limit games.

The challenge with the speed of online poker games is that time feels compressed, and, even though you might be making the correct decisions, it is still possible to lose a substantial sum of money because the more games are played per hour, your wins and losses are magnified.

The buy-in is higher

The process of entering a poker game is known as the buy-in. It is essentially the up-front payment that a player must make before sitting down at the actual or virtual table. This buy-in determines the total prize pool and includes the house fee.

There is no standard buy-in amount. Every game is different. Therefore, it is best to look at the buy-in amount before you enter the game.

Secondly, it is vital to be cognizant of the fact that the buy-in to a virtual poker game is likely to be higher than the physical equivalent. This is because the gameplay is twice as fast, and the wins and losses are magnified in a virtual environment. Simply stated, because more hands are dealt per hour, you will need more money to place bets at the same time.

Play at multiple tables simultaneously

Even though the speed of online poker is double that of a game played at in a physical location, experienced virtual poker players can play at two or more tables simultaneously.

Up till mid-2019, several of the bigger virtual poker gaming companies limited online players from playing as many as 24 tables concurrently. They are only now allowed to play at a maximum of 4 tablets at the same time. The only reason given is that it is the brand’s responsibility to ensure that all its players have safe and enjoyable gaming experience.

Therefore, should you wish to play concurrently at more than one poker table, it’s best to check with your online casino because it seems as though different poker providers have set varying limits on the number of tables players can play at.

Final thoughts

As described above, there are several prominent differences between virtual and brick-and-mortar poker games. While these differences might seem overwhelming to the online poker novice, they are not insurmountable. All that is required to succeed at online poker is a change of strategy and time to adjust to the new environment.

How to Prepare for an Emergency or Natural Disaster

A lot of things in life aren’t certain. From the fury of nature to the chaos and harm that can be brought upon by other people, disasters and emergencies can strike at any time. Accidents like these have the ability to ruin lives, which is why it is important to prepare in advance and have a go-to plan ready just in case something like this ever happens to you.

Although a disaster like this is relatively rare, and don’t always happen to everybody, when they do it can be truly catastrophic. The fact that they are so unexpected makes them even more of a threat. Most people aren’t at all ready for such a life altering event to happen seemingly completely at random.

In this article we will be discussing some of the most common natural disasters and emergencies, and some ways in which you can better prepare for them and not be caught off guard if and when they do occur.

Crime

Before we talk about natural disasters, we need to bring up the importance of security against other people with malicious intent. Unlike a natural disaster, crime is for the most part a planned action. If somebody intends to harm or use you for their own gain, out of anger, jealousy, or any other motive, they will likely succeed if you aren’t properly protected.

Most people seem to think a simple security camera would do the trick, but in reality, a camera is only a minor obstacle for any well experienced criminal. Of course, security cameras can be a great way to deter wrongdoers, if their presence is known, and be used to bring the culprit to justice. But when looking to protect something other than a home or smaller property, you won’t really be safe unless you take extra precautions. Security guards have been used for as long as something’s needed to be protected from other people with malintent in mind.

This has allowed a lot of time for strategies and tactics to develop, generation by generation. Nowadays, licensed, private companies offer highly trained, skilled and qualified guards for any personal security needs. It’s 2024, and you can always use this to your advantage and visit here, where you can get in touch with professionals that specialize in providing you with the right personnel for patrolling any area for any event or gathering.

Types of disasters

A natural disaster is a naturally occurring event that usually cause some kind of negative effect on the environment. There are many different natural disaster types. They can be:

Geological, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions.
Meteorological, storms, hurricanes, tornados.
Hydrological, floods, avalanches.
Climatological, droughts and wild fires.
Biological, mainly epidemics and pandemics.

Each of these have their own recommended tips for a better chance of surviving. Make sure to look up facts and advice on how to prepare for every type if you want to be extra secure. It should be noted that some areas have a higher chance of having certain disasters happen, while having a lower chance for other. You won’t need to worry about a tsunami if you live in a place miles away from the sea, and you won’t need to worry about avalanches if you live in the tropic circle. Make sure to have a good understanding of your living environment so that you can focus on taking the necessary precautions.

General tips

Other than putting your life and safety in danger, natural disasters have a great power to destroy your valuables and property. Every year, a countless number of people, from all over the world, are tragically left in ruins.

You can make sure that you won’t find yourself in such a situation, by securing everything you would desperately need in a time of crisis. Keeping valuable documents, like passports and social security cards in safe places like lockboxes and waterproof containers.

Stock up on non-perishable food and have a large supply of water at your disposal, of course for drinking but also for medical needs. Aim to assemble a stash of supplies that can last you at least one week. If you have any aliments that require prescription drugs, also make sure you have those stocked up.

Listen to radio broadcasts to get a heads up and have time to prepare your home against the oncoming hazard.

Get a first aid kit. Injuries are common during a disaster, so having all the tools you need to fix or at least improve the condition of any cut, wound, broken bone so on. Get educated on the basic medical knowledge needed to use a first aid kit in order not to make the situation worse.

Floods are one of the most common natural disaster from all across the world. Whether brought upon by hurricanes, tsunamis or a long-lasting downpour of rain, something to always remember is that with every flood, the water supply gets contaminated. If you keep a stockpile of clean water and don’t rely on getting water from the tap, you should not have to worry about drinking anything you’re not supposed to.

Conclusion

There is no one true way to prepare for a calamitous event like a natural disaster, but the information is out there and easier than ever to get in todays age. The internet has every tip and guide you need to follow for each specific situation you find yourself in. We live in an age of information so there is no excuse for not having the required knowledge.

Currently, in the year 2024, we are in the midst of the biggest global pandemic in the modern era. Although measures have been taken to lessen the blow of the virus, the current situation is less then optimal. Quarantines and curfews have been implemented all over the world, and though this has lowered the overall damage, there are many people out here who have suffered greatly. But, as with every other disaster humanity has faced in our past, hopefully we will come out of this one with a better understanding of how to deal with such circumstances.

13 Key Strategies to Maximize Your Practice Profitability With Physician Medical Billing Services

June 19, 2020

Usually, physicians lose their focus and time in dealing with the administrative challenges associated with claim processing and physician medical billing services. Often, the claim rejection rate increases to an alarming level when the physicians don’t streamline their revenue cycle management. Claim rejection has become such a recurring phenomenon that medical organizations wear out their resources and still couldn’t achieve their financial goals.

According to a recent study, it has been revealed that most of the medical facilities deplete 11% of its net revenue due to underpayments each year. While claim processing, payments, billing, and physician revenue cycle management amounts to 14% of the total healthcare expenditure. It is approximately equal to $2.7 trillion in monetary value. Mostly, claim denials happen due to the following two primary reasons;

The claim isn’t received by the payer.
The claim has inadequate/incorrect information.

As we have observed that health system operations don’t provide the same leeway today as it did a decade ago. However, if physicians take the right approach and correct strategies then the future doesn’t gloomy.

In this article, I have mentioned 13 key strategies that will enhance profitability for the physician’s practice.

1. Establish Long-lasting Relation with Payers

According to Curogram Physicians must consistently stay in touch with a few private insurance companies in lieu of the government payers. The commercial payors contribute to 35% of the hospital’s net revenue. Thus, if physicians would have an established medical billing processing in place then they would ease out any falls with the payers in the future. Therefore, physicians should collaborate with them in order to understand their work process and create a care delivery model likewise.

2. Adhere to Compliance Standards

One of the most healthcare regulatory standards is the HIPAA act that urges to standardize medical codes to fulfill the protocols of privacy, security, and confidentiality of medical codes. Being a physician, you should make sure that your physician billing services comply with medical coding and billing standards proposed by HIPAA.

3. Utilize Interoperability between Health Systems

Interoperability is one of the most important ways to increase the productivity of a hospital. According to professionals, the healthcare facility has multiple domains and subdomains, therefore, it is essential to ensure that there is proper interconnectivity that can remove the blockades and establish connections between departments and physician medical billing services firm.

4. Use Advanced Methodologies

An outsourced medical billing company can help physicians manage denials, track claims, tax IDs, etc. If physicians would try to keep these aspects in-house then they should hire suitable staff who have hands-on experience in working with HIPAA, Medicare, and Medicaid regulations. Only certified and qualified medical billing professionals can help you avoid denials and rejection. They can help you sustain the financial health of your business in the long run. Most importantly, most of the medical billing firms have robust software applications to accurately proceed with revenue cycle management.

5. Reduce Workload

You can outsource your medical billing to a professional medical billing company to reduce the overheads. You will have a healthy bottom-line as a result of a significant decline in the volumes of claim denials.

6. Leverage Data Analytics

Data analytics can reduce inaccuracies and help you identify the root problems. It would also allow physicians to experience improved transparency and initiate precision medicine, etc. You can start by collecting the historical data of the hospitals and then use statistical, analytical and mathematical tools to drive profitable results.

7. Automate Billing & Coding Process

A physician has to deal with a massive amount of patient care responsibilities. Therefore, they should lessen down their administration burden to save costs and lighten the workload.

8. Focus on Reducing Re-admission

Physicians can identify if a certain group, race, or age have more risks of readmission from data analytics. Thus, they can easily recognize the common issues and focus on getting a robust healthcare plan.

9. Stretch Your Market Value

Physicians can get rid of administrative responsibilities and invest some time and resources to boost the revenue of the hospitals. If at present, you don’t have the bandwidth to dig deeper into the granular level of the physician healthcare revenue cycle management. Then you can outsource physicians’ medical billing services to a reliable medical collection agency.

10. Focus on Revenue Generation Rather Cost Saving

Cost-saving is not the only motive to run a successful medical practice. Physicians should also move towards revenue generation over saving a few dollars. It reduces the cut time to file a claim and successfully allocates the resources. Thus, as the world is getting more globalized, there are more opportunities for physicians to improve their revenue cycle ROI from a centralized connection to multiple locations.

11. Create Population Health Management Programs

Simply, the population health management system helps you deliver best-in-class medical care in the lowest possible amount of money costs. Physicians can manage health management programs to find out the volume of patients. They can easily recognize comparable clinical settings and apply evidence-based interventions and treatment protocols.

12. Well-trained Medical Billing Experts

If you want to maximize your organization’s revenue then you should make sure that only well-trained medical billing experts are taking care of your physician’s medical billing services. A well-trained employee can massively impact the total revenue on investments. A trained employee can also multi-task. They can run your medical billing work efficiently.

13. Collaborate With A Reliable Medical Billing Company

If your business demands more substructures in the future then you should get ready for these services in advance. You should prepare capital investment to own both i.e. human and capital resources in order to keep pace with the rapid industrial development. Despite this, you can also save time and money by outsourcing physician medical billing services to scale up the surging service demands in a cost-effective way.

Conclusion:

Physicians can improve their business profitability with the above-mentioned strategies. They should make sure that their medical billing resources are well-versed with federally mandated laws, coding compliance standards, and HIPAA protocols. They should hand over their reimbursement collection to the certified and well-experienced physician billing experts. They should also keep the margin of their capital expenditures from their earned revenue. They can hire a medical billing company to shed away the administration burden from their shoulders.

5 Simple Stoner Hacks To Try At Home

If you happen to be a moderately experienced weed client – your resistance is probably essentially higher than in past times when you originally utilized the weed. In that capacity, you’ll most likely notice that it takes more weed to accomplish a good high as you used to do in the past and that the strikes of THC and other weed compounds probably will not keep you going as high and long as you once did. Therefore, we will show you 5 simple stoner hacks to try at home. However, let’s start from the beginning…

What Are The Effects Of Weed Consumption?

The effects of marijuana consumption are influenced by several factors such as the environment, music, atmosphere, society, current mental and physical condition, and of course quality and quantity. Weed is often portrayed in the media as a hallucinogenic drug from which “dragons” can be seen, although the reality is quite the opposite. The effects of consumption cannot produce hallucinations in the consumer but marijuana acts as a stimulant or relaxant. Precisely because of these changes in mood – a person can sometimes experience a state which can be noticed in smokers as a pronounced feeling of caution and hypersensitivity to the environment. Also, after consuming weed, you can feel the effect due to which many people consume it as a “stress-relief” agent – that is, that the stress and problems that you had in mind before consumption no longer exist.

How Long Does It Take To Feel The Effects Of Weed Consumption?

In the beginnings of consuming weed when the body has not yet developed a certain degree of tolerance – the effects of weed can be observed when consuming very small doses. When smoking it in the form of a spliff with a ratio of 50/50 (tobacco/weed) – the effects can be felt after 3-5 inhalations, depending on the quality (THC content). Depending on the method of consumption, the effects can be felt from 15 to 30 minutes when smoking a spliff or joint, 1-2 hours for oral use – and an extremely short time for situational occasions (bong, pipe, etc.)

Tolerance

Tolerance to THC develops with frequent smokers. Unlike alcohol, THC does not cause the death of bonds among cells. As an alternative, the re-consumption of weed will lead us to a reduced outcome known as weed tolerance. The main reason for developing such tolerance is explained by type I cannabinoid receptors (CB1) in the human brain. They literally decrease with more frequent consumption of weed. Our brain can recuperate within a few weeks after stopping weed consumption. This means that you should consume larger amounts of THC – to feel “high” again as you did the first time. Or maybe you don’t have to? Here are some simple stoner hacks to try at home.

Stoner Hacks To Try At Home

Some weed consumers are very resourceful when it comes to little home tricks. These can be tricks that will improve the performance and experience with weed – but also some tips regarding the health of the consumers themselves. If you are just a recreational consumer or you do not know some of these tricks, we are here to help you. Here are 5 simple stoner hacks that you can try at home.

1. Rapid Detoxification

For “quick” solutions on how to detox from weed, you can read this review – but it is also recommended to use some of these methods.

● Creatine

Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism. Creatinine occurs naturally in the body and based on the amount of creatinine – the laboratory determines the dilution of urine. Creatine is broken down within 6 hours, so we advise taking a slightly higher dose of creatine (available in fitness shops) the day before the THC test.

● Vitamin B (Niacin)

Vitamin B is used to “color” the urine. Before the test, the person consumes B-Complex, vitamins B-2, B-12 also work.

● Detox preparations

When buying detox preparations, we advise the use of well-known brands (ask at the pharmacy), but creatine and vitamin B work quite the same.

2. Bathroom Spray – Your Saviour In A Smelly Situation

You don’t wanna put yourself into some embarrassing situation, right? Therefore, if you smell like the weed it can be somewhat weird – and you have to find the solution for that problem. In such a case, wherever you are – go ahead and search for the bathroom. We are most convinced that you will find some sort of spray that you can be able to apply to your smelly clothes. Maybe it won’t be the fragrance of your choice, so you may smell funny – but that is better than smelling like the weed you just used.

3. Hot-box With A Steaming Shower

In case that you get a shower sufficiently hot, it will create adequate steam to conceal limited quantities of weed smoke from your bong or a bowl. However, most likely it won’t take ceaseless smoke from a joint or a blunt. Therefore, make sure you begin your smoke session only when the thick steam is in the room, and after you’ve set a towel under the entryway so that air doesn’t go away.

4. Pop A Mint To Avoid Cottonmouth And Curb The Munchies

Two of the most famous reactions of cannabis utilization incorporate cottonmouth and munchies. Smoking weed brings down your glucose levels and makes your salivary organs produce less spit. Hence, you’re left with dry mouth and a seething craving. However, if you take a mint or another hard candy can build your salivation creation and keep your mouth decently wet. Also, the sugar from the moderate dissolving sweet will help satisfy your appetite.

5. Put Frozen Fruit in Your Bong

Rather than utilizing ice in your bong, have a go at utilizing solidified natural products, such as fruit. It remains solidified for a long time, and once the frozen fruit begins to liquefy and melt – it will taste great. Sure, this situation can get quite clingy, sticky, and messy. Therefore, ensure you make an intensive clean of your bong just after a smoke session – to keep away from any sticky fruit build-up.

Quite often fathers do not look obtain custody of their child as they feel the law favours mothers. Our family lawyers discuss how a father can get full custody of their child.

Can fathers get full custody of a child

We often hear about mothers refusing custody of their children to fathers and not allowing fathers with any contact or access to their children. Understandably a lot fathers do not consider making an application for the custody of their child on the understanding that the law favours mothers. The law does not favour mothers and providing a father is the best placed parent to look after and care for a child they are likely to succeed in obtaining custody for their child.

How can a dad get the full custody of a child?

When parents are separating or have separated the courts will attempt where possible to ensure the child receives their right of having access to both parents. It is important to note that this is the right of the child rather than the right of the parents.

Although the courts promote shared parenting, where there is clear evidence of one parent not being in a position to adequately care for a child or there is a risk that the child’s welfare and best interests are likely to be affected the courts can look to award custody to one parent. Quite commonly people feel that mothers will always be awarded custody of their child. This is incorrect, the law is not biased towards mothers and does not favour them. Providing a father is able to demonstrate that they are better placed than the mother to bring up their child they can also obtain custody of their child.

In order to consider obtaining custody of a child, a father must be named on the birth certificate of the child or establish their parental responsibility. Once he is able to establish this they can make an application to the court for custody of their child.

Can an unmarried father obtain custody of a child?

The legal rights and responsibilities of an unmarried father differ from the rights of a married one.

An unmarried one will not have any legal rights over a child unless he is named on the birth certificate, enters into a parental responsibility agreement with the mother or obtains parental responsibility through a court application. Without acquiring parental responsibility of their child an unmarried father will not be able to make an application to the court for the custody of a child.

Just to point out this works only if the both parents are citizens of the same country. In case one parent is a foreigner to procedure becomes a lot more complicated. For example all the documents will have to be translated by a certified translator. You can read more on birth certificate translations here.

What steps does a father need to take to obtain custody of their child?

In order to obtain custody of a child, a father can initially try and contact the mother of the child to try and reach an agreement. If an agreement can be reached amicably then this can avoid the need for making an application to the court and can save both time and costs on legal fees.

Not all parents remain on amicable terms, in such circumstances he can seek the assistance of a mediator or family lawyers to try and promote discussions to see whether an amicable agreement can be reached. If no agreement can be reached then the only way for a father to secure custody of their child may be through making an application to the family court.

How can a father apply to secure the custody of their child?

If mediation or reaching an agreement has not been possible, then you may wish to consider making an application to the family court. The courts will require you to complete a form C100 for child arrangements and submitting this with a statement in support together with an application fee.

Once the application is received by the court this will then be issued and the matter will be listed for an initial hearing to determine whether an agreement can be reached. Prior to the final hearing, the courts may direct a local authority or Cafcass to undertake assessment and reviews to find out whether the father who is making the application is well equipped to look after the child and there are no welfare or safeguarding concerns.

When making a decision on child custody the courts will take into account the following factors:

The best wishes of the child concerned;
The physical and emotional needs of the child;
Educational needs of the child in question;
The child’s characteristics i.e. age, sex and background
Whether the child is at risk of any harm, and
The parents capability in caring for the child and bringing them up

What must the father prove when making an application for child custody

A father who is looking to win child custody rights for their child must be able to prove the following:

Paternity – in order to obtain custody a father must have acknowledged paternity by either being named on the child’s birth certificate, obtaining a written agreement from the mother or acknowledging paternity during court proceedings.
Relationship with the child – Before awarding custody the courts will looking into the fathers relationship with the child. The father must be able to prove that they have been present within their child’s life and demonstrate how they have supported the child. If a parent has not been in contact with the child or failed to support them then this can affect the fathers application to child custody.
Their capability of looking after the child – in order to successfully pursue full custody of their child a father must be able to demonstrate to the court how they are the best parent to care for and maintain the child. If there is any evidence of the mother neglecting the child or putting the child at risk of harm then this must be effectively presented to the court for them to consider.

Top tips for fathers who are looking to obtain custody of their child

With the help of Kabir Family Law we have compiled a few helpful tips for a father who is looking to obtain custody of their child:

Continue making child support payments regardless of whether or not the mother allows you to have any contact with the child.
Ensure you are obtaining custody for the right reasons. A father should look to obtain custody of their child if they feel they are the best placed parent to care for their child. They should not simply consider obtaining custody in order to obtain revenge from the mother. There could be serious consequences if the court concludes that the fathers motives for making an application are powered by other reasons other than the welfare of the child.
Consider seeking legal advice. Quite often fathers do not have the knowledge and understanding of their rights and may not be able to prepare adequately for any custody hearings. You should consider obtaining legal advice to ensure you are aware of the requirements and to assess the prospects of you succeeding in an application for child custody.

5 Common Traps To Avoid When Taking a Personal Loan

Have you ever experienced an unpleasant surprise when a bank or financial institution increases your installment for a housing or consumer loan without knowing the real reason? If there is any consolation for you – it happens to many. Therefore, before entering a credit adventure, you should be well acquainted with the provisions of the contract you are signing.

There are financial pitfalls when taking a loan – and to avoid them, it is necessary to study each item of the contract and not sign it unless all ambiguities are removed. We will draw your attention to 5 common traps to avoid when taking a personal loan.

Different Conditions For Obtaining And Repaying A Loan

While some banks and credit institutions raise interest rates on loans that citizens repay in large numbers – others offer various possibilities of so-called refinancing: taking a new loan to repay the old one. People are recalculating, and experts warn us to open our eyes well and take the calculator in our hands – because interest and various additional costs can be a new trap and noose for the household budget.

Things You Should Pay Your Attention To

What you should pay attention to when borrowing is paying a penalty for terminating an existing contract. Then the amount of the effective interest rate – which gives the right information about the price of a loan. There is also the so-called indexation if the loan repayment is linked to a foreign currency.

What is the difference between a fixed and a variable interest rate? What does this practically mean and what problems can we encounter when repaying a debt? You have to find the right answers to some of these questions if you want to know how to avoid traps when taking a personal loan.

What Is A Personal Loan?

When we talk about personal loans and credits – there is a difference. Loans are primarily approved by banks, and it is understood that loans bring with them interest rates – which are very often unfavorable.

On the other hand, when we talk about a personal loan, it does not have to but most often involves interest – but the procedure of obtaining a personal loan is greatly facilitated by clients. You can get a personal loan from a bank, but also other financial institutions or private creditors.

How To Repay It?

In both cases, you return the money in monthly annuities, with the fact that the period for bank loans is usually longer – and therefore less favorable due to the interest that accompanies a long repayment period. On the other hand, a personal loan usually involves slightly smaller amounts, slightly lower interest rates, and a shorter repayment period – which is good because it won’t overburden you.

Also, personal loans can be approved with a slightly worse credit rating, with a shorter paperwork procedure – but it still requires certain guarantees. Most personal loans are unsecured, but the loan is backed by something you own. Although this type of loan is “cheaper” – you can lose the property if you do not repay it regularly.

What Traps Should You Avoid?

When we decide to take a personal loan, we should find out all the details – that is, the advantages and disadvantages of such a decision. If you want to learn more about personal loans, find all the details on this website – and when we talk about the pitfalls of such decision-making – we must first start with ourselves. Because in fact, the biggest traps lie in ourselves.

1. Insufficient Research

The fact is that a personal loan can be a good solution to some unexpected financial difficulties. You can get it quickly because the procedure is not extensive – and money can be found in your account within 24 hours to 5 working days.

However, you have to be careful. Today we live in the era of modern technologies and the Internet that make our job easier – but also provide opportunities to be victims of fraud.

Therefore, before entering into a personal loan – you need to research the terrain well. First of all, make sure that the financial agency with which you are looking for a loan is reliable. On the other hand, research well all the conditions under which a loan can be granted to you because the terms of the loan may vary.

The loan offered to you should and must be in line with your needs and repayment options – and this is what you need to keep in mind when researching.

2. Careless Reading Of The Loan Agreement

At no cost, you shouldn’t sign a contract that is not clear to you. If there are any ambiguities – contact a qualified person who can help you interpret each clause or ask for a summary of credit terms for inspection. If the loan you are interested in has conditions that are not favorable for you – look for a loan elsewhere. There are plenty of choices.

3. You Must Find Out More About Your Credit Rating

In general, a credit rating can range from a bad rating of some 300 – to an excellent rating that is usually over 800. If your credit rating is good, you may earn a lower interest rate when borrowing. If your credit score is lower than desired – then using a personal loan can even improve your credit score if you have good financial habits – or if you repay your debt regularly.

4. Poor Payout Dynamics

Although this seems to be a basic prerequisite, many of us are prone to mistakes. Some because of insufficient understanding of the contract, and some because they did not assess their financial capacities well.

So from the start, you have to be careful not to fall into this trap as it can be very dangerous. Not only because of your credit rating – but you can also be left without assets in case you do not pay off your debt in full. Certainly, if you are an irregular payer, it will create a negative image in your credit score, thus reducing your chances for future loans and other credit opportunities. Also, checking your credit score is important because of possible procedural errors that can sometimes happen through no fault of your own.

Therefore, you should know that you have the opportunity to check your credit score once a year with one of the credit reporting agencies.

5. You Shouldn’t Make Emotional But Rational Decisions

Sometimes it happens to us that due to certain life situations we make decisions due to emotions and sudden – without thinking much about the consequences of such decisions. This is one of the common traps we fall into when taking a personal loan. However, the advice is to wake up in time and ask yourself: Can I realistically repay the loan I took? How do I plan to repay this personal loan? Therefore, it might be a good idea to have a “voice of reason” – that is, a trusted person to help you make a rational decision.

5 Reasons Shared Workspace Makes Sense for Your Startup

Half of all start-ups fail in the first couple of years, largely due to the excessive costs of running a business. Therefore, a new idea of coworking offices emerged in the past several years. The number of shared office spaces is expected to grow at a steady pace of 22% per year. Like-minded entrepreneurs are choosing coworking over traditional office spaces for a number of reasons. We created a list of the main reasons why a shared office space might be ideal for your start-up.

1. Affordability

Renting a traditional office in one of the prominent streets in the business district in any city can be super expensive. Not only the rent itself (plus the deposit) but also utilities, internet, office supplies, furniture, rental insurance, and many other obvious and hidden costs. That’s why many people turned to work from home or from their local coffee shop.

While working from home is a perfect way to cut costs if you live by yourself, but if you have a family, roommates, or nosy pets it’s usually not doable for a prolonged period of time. Cafes are nice, but they have a downside too. Internet connection is unreliable, space can get very crowded and noisy, and it’s not for free since you would have to order at least twice during the day, which can definitely make a dent in your monthly budget.

On the other hand, for a couple of hundreds of dollars per month, you can get a coworking office space with a fast and reliable internet that comes with other free amenities like coffee, a fridge for your lunchbox, 24/7 access and some will even throw in a free mailbox. By visiting one of the websites like Justco Global you can shop around for a plan that best fits your needs. Plus, no more signing long-term leases, since shared offices are usually paid on a month-to-month basis.

That being said, this kind of pay-as-you-go financial flexibility sounds like a perfect match for a start-up business.

2. Building a network

A couple of decades ago start-ups were mostly driven by young people trying to find their place in the market. Today, the community is much more diverse consisting of people of all ages and occupations.

Sitting by yourself in the coffee shop can create that nagging feeling of isolation and sometimes even depression. However, working with other people can make you feel like you are part of something where you can meet many different people at the various stages in their careers. Rubbing elbows with people who work in forty or fifty different companies gives you plenty of opportunities to develop either working or friendly relationships that might help you in the future.

It’s a perfect environment for sharing ideas and maybe even finding inspiration. So, besides being a foundation for building a network of people it’s also good for your mental health. Win-win situation.

3. Amenities

If you were renting office space you would probably be deprived of many amenities that big companies consider a must. To supply your working space with all the equipment you new business needs will most likely take thousands out of your pocket. Coworking communities have already set up their spaces with the latest gadgets, modern amenities, and services.

If you have a need for conference calls with your investors or clients, shared spaces have meeting rooms at your disposal at any time. When you need to take a break, there are lounges, nap rooms, and outdoor balconies available. Even private phone booths. Also, office furniture is provided like electric desks and dry-erase walls. As an added bonus, you get free coffee and fruits and a fridge and a microwave for your lunch.

That’s a big bang for your buck. All of this comes to one invoice, so your operating expenses are consolidated which will make preparing your taxes fast and easy.

4. Room to grow

Start-ups are just that, new businesses that usually include only one or two people. When that new company begins to grow, the number of people increases as you start adding different departments. That means that your parents’ garage or cramped up office at the strip mall is not going to work anymore. Then you move in a little bigger space, which in a few years is going to be too small. And so on.

Moving your business all the time is going to give you a lot of stress and anxiety, plus, changing your business’ address often makes you look unprofessional. And then, there are moving costs which can amount to a hefty expense. Taking all of this into consideration, renting a coworking space makes perfect sense. You might never have to move, just add a few desks on your monthly invoice and you’re set.

As you can see, it also saves you a lot of time since your new employees can start working right away.

5. Events

Many coworking offices organize so-called networking events. A few times a year events are set up where people from the shared working spaces can mingle. These are not necessarily cocktail parties; it can also be arranged as workshops or roundtable discussions. Such events can possibly provide you with invaluable connections to increase your exposure to industry leaders or investors, and to maximize your productions. If you decide to rent a coworking space make sure that you don’t miss out on this because it can sometimes really be that one push that you need to launch your company into the orbit of the big players.

Start-up enterprises cannot bear the huge costs that come with renting an office space. They usually begin with zero-to-none investments and work tirelessly in hopes that someone will spot their potential. Working in your basement will not get you far, not only because it’s depressing, but you are depriving your ideas to be heard and hopefully grow from there. And then, there’s one more thing for all of you single souls out there.

Coworking spaces can be a fantastic fishing pool, so don’t forget to turn on your charm and cross your fingers.

How Long Does It Take To Mine Bitcoin

The moment you start reading about Bitcoins, you will hear the word mining. This may sound confusing to beginners since it is a complicated matter. However, if you want to truly get involved in crypto trading and get your hands on the Bitcoin market, it is necessary to at least know the basics. Without Bitcoin mining, the network wouldn’t be functioning the way it is functioning now. There would be a higher chance for attacks by hackers and the network would become dysfunctional.

How does it work?

The mining can only be done by using specialized computers by the miners who need to process every transaction that involves Bitcoin. That is achieved by solving computational issues. They actually chain the transactions into blocks, which is why there is the term blockchain. When the service is done, the people who have done it will get a reward in the form of new Bitcoins. You should know that Bitcoin mining involves a few functions, so it is not only limited to the security and forming a blockchain. It also refers to issuing of new Bitcoins and confirming all the transactions.

People are usually confused by the mining because the currencies we are used to such as euros or dollars must be issued by the central banks. The bank can infuse new money whenever necessary. The process slightly differs when it involves cryptocurrencies. The crypto market is changing the way everything works. If you wish to find out more, check out www.forschung-und-wissen.de. However, with the cryptocurrencies, issuing does not happen in the same way as with the regular currencies. Bitcoins can only be received after the protocol is followed. The miners use computing power to generate Bitcoin, so there is no way to work around it.

The transactions get sent only in blocks because this is the only way that they are considered safe. Large payments require having more confirmation. So, for example – if there is a payment in Bitcoins that involves $1,000, then there must be one confirmation. Up to $10,000, there must be three confirmations, and the transfers up to one million must have six confirmations. This is the only way to have a secure payment. The role of the miners is to secure the network which will protect it from the possible attacks from hackers making it more secure for miners and protect their investments. This means that when more people work on mining the network, it will be more secure.

What does a miner need?

If you wish to mine the Bitcoins, you can do that, but that will require investments. It is a very specialized narrow industry. It must be done in places where cheap electricity is available. This translates into large investments since electricity bills can be enormous. Of course, if you know what you are doing, you will manage to get the money back after successful mining. This is usually why so many people give up and simply turn to other ways of obtaining it.

However, if you are eager to try it, there is truly no reason to give up. You will need a Bitcoin wallet because the moment you obtain Bitcoins after mining, you will store them in the wallet. Then, you will need to find a good crypto exchange platform. Since there are numerous platforms on the market, you will need to do your research and truly make an effort to find the one that will suit you the most. After this step is done, you should find a Bitcoin mining hardware that you will use. That is a computer specialized for mining.

Mining cannot be done without it, so this is essential. If you think that a laptop or your PC can do the trick, that is simply impossible. You would get an enormous headache after seeing the electricity bill and you would barely earn anything. After obtaining the right hardware, you will need a mining pool. That means that you will be sharing your hash rate with it.

In addition, you will need to ask about the regulations in your country and find out is it legal to engage in mining Bitcoins, so don’t forget that. Even though most countries won’t have a problem with that, it is still necessary to check. In the end, think about everything and see if it is worth the risk for you. You should do the calculations before engaging in mining to make sure that there will be something in it for you.

How fast does mining give results?

The universal response would be 10 minutes. That is how long it takes for one Bitcoin to be mined. However, the speed largely depends on the equipment you are using. There is even a way to use your smartphone for mining, but that way you will be making extremely little per year, so you would be basically losing time. On a home computer, you would need years to create a block. On the other hand, the Bitcoin mining tool can be a faster and better option. Choosing to join a pool, you would have other people cooperating with you rather than competing against you, which is a good start, we must say. You may even earn less then you would alone, but the frequent returns are higher which is certainly something that is worth checking.

There are numerous things that need to be learned when it comes to Bitcoin mining. It is not something that you can do on a whim. It is an action that must be thought through carefully and methodically. There is a large potential of earning on the crypto market but it is recommended to do your research and do everything you can to make sure that your chances of achieving success are increased as much as possible. Keep in mind that without the necessary equipment, you won’t be able to do much, so this should be one of the first steps you should do. That will be your ticket to join the crypto adventure!
