For anyone who enjoys the solitude of fishing one man fishing boats provide access to not only more fishing areas, but also more solitude. These fishing boats are a wonderful addition to any serious anglers fishing arsenal. In this article I will outline 2 of the best boats for one angler along with some of their features and benefits.

I’ve personally use (and continue to use) both of these types of one man fishing boats, so this information comes from real world experience. The most important thing to remember about any one man fishing boat is who makes it. It is very important to make a purchase from a manufacturer who makes quality products. So, how do you know that the boat you are looking at is a quality boat?

A maker of quality one man boats will stand behind their boats with things like money back guarantees, free trial periods, free or discounted shipping options, and seasonal sales to help you save money. The bottom line is that a quality manufacturer makes these kinds of offers because they know that you will be happy with the quality and performance of their one man boats.

These boats are being listed in no particular order. In the final analysis, the style of fishing that is enjoyed most is the biggest factor in choosing which boat is right for which fisherman.

1. The Paddleski Catamaran – This one man boat actually carries two people comfortably, but is absolutely perfect for one person. This versatile one man boat can be rowed, paddled, motored, or even sailed! This boat is perfect for fishing in lake, pond, or river situations. Whether you enjoy fishing for largemouth in your favorite lake or fishing for trout in a mountain river, this one man fishing boat is perfect. This boat is constructed from 1000 denier hull material that can stand up to incredible punishment. The Paddleski is an excellent one on boat.
2. Fameless Pontoon Boat – This one man boat provides the individual angler a rugged, lightweight, super portable weapon to catch fish almost anywhere. This boat is best employed while fishing in lakes, but can be used for river fishing as well, especially if fly fishing is enjoyed. This one man fishing boat is amazingly portable, weighing in at just over 40 pounds. In many ways this is the perfect personal boat for an individual angler.

The bottom line is that these are 2 of the best boat choices for one angler. Both of these boats are very versatile, lightweight, and extremely convenient for one person. Using either of these one person boats opens up previously inaccessible water to the individual angler.

The old saying, "A carpenter is only as good as his tools," is true for so many things but is particularly true for trading the Forex market. Forex tools such as Forex RSS, the Forex toolbar, and a Forex widget can become indispensable in a well equipped trading arsenal. If a Forex trader is blindly trading the market on his hunches, he should be in Las Vegas because at least then he could see a nice show before he loses all his money.

The typical trader has a few screens in front of him. At least one of those screens should be displaying his Forex tools with the appropriate RSS feeds. For those unfamiliar with Forex RSS (standing for 'really simple syndication') it's a method of receiving information immediately. In the kind of atmosphere presented by Forex trading, the only problem with immediacy is that it doesn't happen fast enough. That's how quick the market can be.

There are a couple tools that can provide the necessary information every trader needs at his fingertips. A toolbar provides links and information and is constantly displayed so there is no searching and fumbling. A Forex widget embedded on a website is a great tool and is always updated giving current quotes and information.

Many Forex portal websites offer their articles and information through Forex RSS, which means if you have an RSS reader such as Google Reader, you will be automatically updated throughout the day (and night). A Forex toolbar on any one of your screens will also do the trick.

Charts should always be only a click away and having them available easily is crucial. Whether it's through a Forex widget, or a Forex toolbar, you shouldn't have to spend any time searching for the information you need. Fundamental news is coming out all the time and can blow the charts away. Unless you're connected to Forex RSS, you're going to lag behind thousands of traders ahead of you.

Forex trading is your business, and you want your business to be well equipped. Considering that most, if not all, Forex tools are free, there is no reason not to take advantage of the situation to the full extent.

Early records reveal that German scientists discovered CN (Chloroacetophenone) about 1870. This is a chemical compound that was first prepared for use in 1877 but was not subsequently used to any great extent. The French were the first to use it successfully in the late 1920s to break up civil disorders in their colonies. It was then adopted practically all over the world for use by law enforcement agencies around 1930. During World War II (1941-45) CN was further developed and it was discovered that micro-pulverized CN (talc-sized particles) produced a longer lasting and greater irritation effect.

In 1923, the United States Government financed the development of chemical agents at Edgewood Arsenal. A great deal of time and expense went into the research of non-lethal irritants that could be successfully used in law enforcement. CN was successfully developed in a form very similar to what we have today in canisters. CN was the active ingredient of Chemical Mace®, an aerosol irritant acquired by many U.S. police agencies in 1965.

CN in its pure form is a white crystalline solid resembling ordinary granulated sugar or salt. Since it is made of solid particles, it must be carried through the air by an agent or expelled in a fine dust. CN has an odor similar to apple blossoms.

CN causes tearing and irritation of the eyes, and a burning sensation on the skin. The primary effect of CN on the eyes is lachrymation (tearing) and photophobia (sensitivity to light). There are certain subjects on which CN will have little effect. CN has little or no effect on animals. Tests reveal that if a dog is tied up where he cannot move freely, he will make very little attempt to get away from CN when it is present or sprayed on him. Any individual who is under the influence of narcotics or alcohol to the extent that he has lost his sense of feeling will not be affected by CN.

Decontamination of CN requires a soda ash solution or alcoholic caustic soda. An individual subjected to CN should be taken out into the fresh air; he should not rub his face or eyes and should immediately proceed to wash his eyes and face. Most soap contains oil and should not be used to wash the area. Oil traps CN in the skin and can cause a severe rash or burn. Affected clothing should be changed.

CN, the active ingredient in Chemical Mace, when applied directly to the skin produces extreme irritation with erythema and vesicles (a small sac or cyst filled with fluid such as a blister). The higher the degree of humidity, the more severe the lesions. In animals and in man, CN behaves as potential allergens on repeated exposures. CN may have two effects: it usually produces irritant dermatitis, but can also sometimes produce a genuine eczema (a disease of the skin attended with itching and secretion).

In subjects exposed to CN sprays, lesions develop in two stages: first, redness and burning sensation on the face. Then, on the following day, there appears an edema (secretion of fluid into cell tissues) with swelling of the eyelids. Oozing rapidly turns to crusts, and in the absence of treatment, infection is the rule. Cure requires as many as 10 to 15 days of treatment. Eczema may also affect those factory workers who become sensitized and develop an allergy. Therefore, CN causes dermatitis and is a sensitizer that may cause very serious allergic reactions upon repeated exposure.

CN as an aerosol, or at higher dosages, may cause more damage to the eyes and skin than either DM or CS (Ortho-chlorobenzalmalononitrile). The American Journal of Ophthalmology report’s findings from a study of 14 eyes enucleated (removing the eye) following injury by CN tear gas weaponry. Five of the eyes were removed shortly after injury, revealing necrosis (death of a cell) of the anterior segment, an intense necrotizing keratitis (death of the tissue of the cornea) of varying degree, and an associated suppurative iridocyclitis (inflammation of the iris). Undoubtedly these changes represented the acute chemical damage of tear gas. The remaining nine eyes were enucleated up to 15 years following injury, and the findings in these chronic cases can be best attributed to the sequelae of neuroparalytic keratopathy (abnormal condition of nerve paralysis resulting in the degeneration of the eye), probably related to the neurotoxic effects of tear gas.

CN has also been implicated as a cancer promoter or co-carcinogen. The tumors observed were benign papillomas of the skin. In these experiments a 1% solution of CN was painted on the skin of mice that had been pretreated with the known carcinogen 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene 1.

Edgewood Arsenal reports that deaths associated with inhalation of CN reveal signs of rales, rhonchi (a coarse rattling noise in the bronchial tubes), dyspnea (difficult or labored breathing), chest pains, and shortness of breath. The pathological lesions were listed as edema, congestion, hemorrhage of lungs, pseudomembrane (falty tissue) formation, and pneumonia. All signs and lesions can be related to damage to the air passages and lungs.

If you haven't been paying attention over the past year, you maybe wondering, "What is a hangout on Google+?" It's another platform Google has added to its arsenal to keep viewers within Google 24 hours a day.

If you are doing YouTube marketing already, you know the importance video marketing has taken on with smart phones and mobile devices.

YouTube traffic continues to soar and video marketing has only gotten better with on air hangouts. Until recently, marketers had to pay for services to reach their viewers by video.

Since Hangout on Google+ was introduced, it is now possible to hang out with 9 other people through video conferencing. That's right, the future is now. You can hook up with 9 other friends across the globe for free.

Google has made a concerted effort to gain a foothold in the social media market with Google+ and YouTube. Hangouts on air is their latest strategy to corner the market.

What exactly is a Google+ Hangout anyway? It is basically a free video conferencing system that anyone can use to initiate a hangout as long as you have a g-mail address.

From a social perspective, it allows you to connect with people anywhere in the world. Up to 10 people can get invited to join a hangout and chat with the other participants. Think of the possibilities if you cannot attend a wedding or an anniversary or the birth of a baby? The possibilities to join in are endless.

If you are doing YouTube marketing, this very well could be your secret weapon, at least until everyone else catches on. There are three ways you can utilize on air hangouts to your benefit.

First, you can hold private one on one coaching calls with your clients using on the Google Hangout feature. This is private and is not broadcast to the world.

Google Hangouts On Air can be set up to broadcast live to the world. Here, you can invite up to 9 other people to join you as moderators while the rest of the world watches a live stream of your broadcast.

And here is probably one of the best YouTube secrets you may not know about. Once your live broadcast is over, the video is automatically uploaded to your YouTube channel.

The video SEO benefits you get from a Google+ Hangout can be extraordinary. Rankings of these videos with the proper optimization can be through the roof.

If you want to supercharge your YouTube marketing, it's time to take a look at Google+ Hangout and see what it can do for your video marketing efforts.

Humans developed shields to protect from weapons. By analogy, strong compliance may mitigate or protect from various enforcement tools in the arsenal of the U.S. Government. Since at least the Civil War, the U.S. Government has been utilizing criminal penalties, civil liabilities, and administrative and contractual remedies to deter and punish procurement misconduct. Recently, the various Federal Agencies have been utilizing suspension and debarment as its tool of choice to exclude contractors, who are deemed not presently responsible, from doing business with the U.S. Government.

Our experience shows that by having an active compliance program, many contractors are likely to avoid suspension and debarment even when there is some evidence of misconduct. This is because contractors with strong internal checks and controls are more likely to discover the misconduct early and take appropriate actions quicker, before the misconduct becomes so serious as to question their present responsibility.

The number of suspensions and debarments for businesses and individuals has more than doubled between 2009 and 2013, and this trend will most likely continue. According to the 2014 GAO Report, the number of government-wide suspensions and debarments increased from 1,836 in 2009 to 4,812 in 2013. The Interagency Suspension and Debarment Committee reports that in 2014, the number of debarments reached 1,929, exceeding the previous record of 1,696 in 2013. The GAO Reports points out that many agencies are getting better at debarment and suspension actions. This means that contractors and their legal teams must get better at compliance.

Causes of Debarment

The Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 9.402 requires the U.S. Government to only conduct business with responsible businesses. Businesses that engage in activities listed below may be considered not responsible and be excluded from conducting business with the U.S. Government. (FAR Part 4-6-2). This is not the entire list!

Conviction or civil judgment for commission of fraud.

Violating antitrust statutes.

Embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, tax evasion.

Violating federal criminal laws.

Receiving stolen property.

Intentionally using “Made in America” or similar inscription on items sold or shipped to US/outlying areas when not made in either.

Commission of any other offense indicating a lack of business integrity or honesty that directly affects the present responsibility of a Government contractor, or subcontractor.

Willful failure to perform one or more contracts, history of failure to perform or unsatisfactory performance.

Violating the Drug Free Workplace laws.

Committing unfair labor trade practice.

Violating federal criminal laws involving fraud, bribery, conflict of interest, or gratuity violations.

Violations of the civil False Claims Act.

Failing to make mandatory disclosures.

The Shield of Compliance.

Strong compliance starts with annual training on procurement integrity and new developments. This alerts all employees working in the government procurement sector of potential conflict of interest issues, likely areas of procurement misconduct, source selection information violations, and new restrictions on post-employment of federal employees, among others. Next, hotlines and other means of allowing employees to quickly report potential misconduct are critical. Finally, active involvement of compliance officers, legal teams during investigations, and prompt cooperation with the U.S. Government pursuant to the Mandatory Disclosure Rule are just as important.

Owning an elderly dog with renal and liver problems and recently having been invaded by cat fleas from an onslaught of stray cats in the neighbourhood I went on a quest to find the safest and most natural flea treatments I could possibly find. After extensive research I was able to compile a veritable arsenal of flea treatments that I thought I would share with other dog owners, especially since the majority of us know how harmful chemicals and insecticides are. I, like many of you, absolutely refuse to expose my dogs to carcinogenic substances.

My dog has flea allergies so it was crucial for me to find effective yet safe solutions to this flea problem. One flea bite drives her crazy! Let me begin by telling you this, if you want to go natural in your quest to rid your house and pets of fleas you have to understand that you will have to use several flea prevention methods, and you’ll need to arm yourself with a bit of patience.

My interest was piqued in herbal collars and I decided to research them some more. To my dismay I found out that the majority of herbal collars include pennyroyal and rue. These herbs can cause liver and kidney damage (as well as many other health issues) when ingested, and while the probability that my old dog would actually ingest her collar was slim, I wasn’t prepared to risk it.

The next natural flea prevention solution I read about was Borax or Boric powder. People have been touting the miraculous effect these products have in combating fleas, and while I don’t doubt this it soon became clear to me that these were not safe products to use on my beloved pet. Borax is an abrasive substance so imagine what can happen if your pet inhales it, plus borates have a tendency to become concentrated in the kidney and can cause kidney damage.

Well, to cut a long story short, aside from my ever trusty flea comb, here’s what I am using:

1. Flea Traps: The kind that work by attracting fleas to a sticky surface. They use small bulbs to attract fleas to a sticky surface. I caught several small insects and fleas. What I do is leave them on overnight when it’s dark for maximum effect. A good way to increase their effectiveness is to move them around occasionally. I even put them in my dog’s beds (she has two, one in the lounge and one in our bedroom, so at night I put the trap in her lounge bed and during the day I darken the bedroom and put a trap in her night bed).

2. Dawn or Fairy Dishwashing Liquid: Regular Dawn of Fairy dishwashing liquid is great for bathing your flea infested dog, it’s less harmful than specialised flea shampoos as it doesn’t contain any chemicals or insecticides and you’ll get a warped sense of pleasure as you see the nasty creatures drown in the bathwater.

3. Herbal Collars: There are some harmless herbal flea collars out there; the one I’m using contains lavender buds and cedarwood shavings. While I’m not a big fan of cedarwood shavings it’s only a minute amount, just enough to keep those nasty pests away from my dog. The same company also makes a dry shampoo/flea powder using all natural (and safe) ingredients and the owner of the company is genuinely concerned about the safety of their products (I grilled her with all my concerns). Let’s just say it’s definitely “good riddance” to fleas!

4. Diatomaceous Earth: Make sure you buy HUMAN FOOD GRADE D/Earth, anything else is potentially toxic. Sprinkle the D/earth under couches, beds, anywhere your dog doesn’t constantly hang around in. Make sure the dog is kept away while you’re doing this as inhaling the fine dust can cause problems and wear a dust mask if possible. D/earth can be used indoors and out but I would advise against using it outdoors as you would be killing many “good” insects as well. Ants, if they aren’t a problem for you, eat flea larvae so I consider them a valuable a part of my safe flea arsenal!

Human food grade d/earth or fossil flour as it’s also called is supposedly good for combating internal parasites as well, I intend on trying this as I’m afraid of using commercial worming medication on my dog at this point. I’ve tried to find out if it has any harmful side effects but haven’t been able to find any; in fact people are using fossil flour on a daily basis and claim it has many benefits. If you know of any harmful side effects of using it orally on a pet please let me know!

5. Bio-tags: There are a couple of companies out there that claim their tags provide your pet with a magnetic shield to keep fleas and ticks away. There are good and bad reviews on the subject but I haven’t been able to find any literature on any harmful side effects so I’m getting one for my dog, Worse case scenario I’m short a few bucks, I love my dog and would do anything in my power to make her comfortable and healthy so I don’t mind. I figure it won’t harm her and if it does work, that’s great!

6. Motion Detector Sprinklers: These are a great and humane way to keep flea-ridden animals out of your yard.

That’s it; I think I’ve covered it all! This is the culmination of my extensive reading and research and I hope it helps you get rid of fleas too. Please let me know if you have some safer flea cures!

The 1919/20 season heralded the dawn of a new era for Rangers as manager William Wilton and number two William Struth initiated a Glasgow Rangers dominance that was to last until the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. Though winning this season with 31 wins out of 42 games and scoring 106 goals, it was overshadowed by the subsequent death of manager, William Wilton.

William Wilton

When the Scottish League was formed in 1890, Wilton became its first treasurer as Rangers shared the title with Dumbarton.

The season before he was appointed to his dual-role, Rangers had achieved the first ever 100% league record, winning all 18 games and scoring 79 goals. No team before or since has ever achieved the same, although several teams have gone unbeaten in a league season since, including Arsenal in 2004.

Rangers were to win 8 league titles with Wilton as manager

Sadly,Wilton did not see the full extent of the team’s success. The day after the final match of the season in 1920, he left or the Bank Holiday, which he planned to spend at Gourock, but he died in a boating accident on the first day of his holiday.

Taking over the manager’s job was William Struth, Struth guided Rangers to a further 14 titles before the war. This period was also noteworthy for the attendances. On the 2nd January 1939 a British league record was broken as 118,567 fans turned out to watch Rangers beat Glasgow Celtic in the traditional new year holiday old firm match.

Glasgow Rangers is a great football club with a great history.

Asthma is a respiratory disease that is among the most common ailments affecting both children and adults today. As our environment is becoming more and more contaminated with pollutants and allergens, finding new ways to treat and control asthma is becoming a major concern for sufferers.

Finding a natural asthma treatment can help aid and complement a sufferer’s pharmaceutical treatment, without harsh side effects. While a natural asthma treatment will never completely replace your medically prescribed inhaler, adding some herbal and homeopathic remedies to your arsenal can help reduce your or your children’s dependence on prescription drugs, and control symptoms gently and naturally. We’ll take a look at a few of the most effective natural treatments for asthma below.

1. – Adhatoda is an Asian herb that has been used for its properties as a bronchodilator for centuries, and it also has expectorant properties, both of which are of huge benefit to anyone suffering from mild to severe asthma.

2. – Licorice Root is a well known herbal remedy for many ailments, and asthma is just one more condition it can be beneficial in treatment. As a natural asthma treatment it is excellent for calming irritated airways and facilitating breathing and airflow.

3. – Tumeric is another well known root that has been used as a coloring agent, spice and traditional medicine for centuries. It has anti-inflamatory properties, and in some trials it has shown similar effects to use of cortisone in asthma patients.

4. – Grindelia – This natural asthma treatment has both expectorant and anti-spasmodic properties and has been successfully used to treat asthma and other spasmodic respiratory conditions (such as bronchitis) in trials in Britain and the United States.

These are just a few of the natural asthma treatments that can help you control asthma symptoms and supplement your prescription medication. As many herbal or homeopathic treatments can quite powerful, it is advised you consult with your doctor before starting to take any of the above treatments.

We’re focusing on our calling. Two pieces back the simple instruction was: Go! Go! And the previous one warned us not to use the convenience of one of the excuses in our arsenal to hide from our calling.

Now Paul has another good suggestion: 12And don’t let anyone put you down because you’re young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanour, by love, by faith, by integrity.

He should turn around the apparent disadvantage or possible handicap because of his young age and utilise it to live his calling.

One of my shortcomings is that I don’t remember so well. It was really bad for me when I realised that I can’t remember much of what I had just read in God’s Word a minute or two ago. So I started to write down what I wrote. Now God is using this “shortcoming” to bring his Word in ordinary words to other people. Soli Deo Gloria.

Do you see that God can hit straight shots with crooked sticks? Do you realise that God also wants to use you just as you are? You are the go-to person for God – right where you are now. And that is where He wants to make a difference by using you. God longs to make an impact in those people you come into contact with. He wants to use an instrument like you! You are the crooked stick with which God wants to hit a straight shot.

What more do I have to write so that you will hear the message and take it to heart? Come on, man, accept the challenge.

It’s not difficult.

And you know what? You don’t need a degree in theology or to have passed a few Bible courses. Even less you need specialist terminology in your head or mouth like you would for a debating competition. No, you simply have to start getting your words and actions in line with Jesus’ words and actions.

Words: It’s easy to talk right when everything is going right, but as soon as your blood starts boiling… what slips out of our mouths then? What do we say when we get a fright? Do we join in when others gossip?

Actions: I suspect our actions are always out of line, because the own self gets in the way. We do everything for our own sakes and away with the rest. And that is not how Jesus acted.

We all need to work. We must consciously watch what comes out of our mouths. When things don’t go according to our plan, we must concentrate and make extra sure that the wrong words don’t slip out. We must make sure that we don’t talk along with other people’s negative talk. We must make sure that we indeed talk positive and that our words bring peace. (Read this last sentence again, it’s quite important.)

Now for the next challenge: Show the people around you what the actions of a child of God look like. Our actions are different from those of the world. We continuously look for places to do good. We don’t ask what we’ll get out of the deal. On the contrary, we ask where we can give of ourselves. Where I, like Jesus, can give my life for sinners (like me).

Despite ourselves and our shortcomings we have to take the lead.

Eish, it’s not easy, because we’re always pulling in the opposite direction. We’ll have to work with God’s Spirit, because we are not able to live this simple command on our own…

Scripture

1 Timothy 4:6-16

Reflection

Where is God calling you?

What must your words look like?

What must your actions look like?

Prayer

Jesus, in a way I understand that You called me to speak your words and carry out your actions wherever I go. However, from experience I know that it doesn’t come naturally to me. I really need your Spirit to help me. Amen.

Eric Abidal was signed in the summer of 2007 as a replacement for Gio. While he is a natural left back, Abidal can also play as a centre back when necessary with his combination of footballing skill, positioning and tactical awareness as well as his semi-legendary runs up the wing in support of the forwards.

Futbol Club Barcelona is Abidal’s first team outside France and he arrived at the club after strong interest from Arsenal. Despite being pursued by Italian clubs also, he refused to move there because he feels the game in Italy is still too racist. His move to Barcelona is under a four year deal and on arrival in his new team was unable to assume is usual number 20 due to it already being worn by Deco and he wears 22 instead.

He moved from Olympique Lyon, who Barcelona have faced in the 2007-08 Champions League, with who he won the French league title on three occasions in a row (2004-5, 2005-6, 2006-7), as well as the French Cup of Champions twice (2004-5, 2005-6). As part of the deal to move to Barcelona, Lyon will gain half a million Euros if the Catalan team win the Champions League in the next four years. Previous clubs also include Lyon-La-Duchere, Monaco and Lille.

The player, who is of Martinique decent, was considered one of the best fullbacks in the country and played for the French national squad on more than 20 occasions, including being part of the team that were runners up in the 2006 World Cup.
