7 Things to Never Do After a Breakup
Breakups are an inevitable part of life. It has the potential of either ruining or improving your life. The
best thing is to always look at the positive side of the breakup and never, ever do one of the following
after a breakup.
1. Pretending You are Fine
It is quite common to see people try to force themselves to smile while it is clearly observable that they
are not happy. It is best to let yourself go through a mourning period, where you spend time with your
closest friends, punch a pillow and even pour your heart out on the pages of your diary. Feelings such as
hurt, humiliation or anger, are expected. However, it is much better to express yourself than bottling
everything inside and allowing yourself to become numb.
2. Trying to Be Friends With Your Ex
If you know you are ok with your ex dating somebody new and vice versa, then you are in the rare
category of individuals who can develop a true friendship out of a breakup. It is best to create some
space during the initial days and if your ex still insists on being friends, then say no and tell them you are
not comfortable with the idea.
3. Do Not Cut Your Hair (Or Get a Tattoo)
It is best to wait a few months before making any decision that will have a permanent effect on your life.
This allows you to be yourself and not allowing your ex the satisfaction of knowing that they inspired
that drastic change. Furthermore, you are likely to come to regret the grotesque tattoo on your arm or a
bad haircut a few months down the line.
4. Do Not Stalk Your Ex On Facebook
The social media is a dangerous place to pour out your soul to the world. If on Facebook, Twitter or any
other social media site, remember never post anything to do with the breakup drama. Another tip, is to
resist checking your ex’s postings and stalking them online. In order to avoid temptations, it is best to
“defriend” or hide your ex’s statuses.
5. Do Not Seek Revenge
Seeking revenge serves no purpose to you or your ego. If anything, it makes you feel worse than you did
before. Revenge feeds hatred and bitterness. It is best to move on, carry your head high and spend more
energy on the individuals in your life who deserve it.
6. Do Not Go On The Hunt
A common myth among many is that the best way to get over your ex is by getting another. However,
this is probably the wrong time to get into a new relationship too soon after the breakup. Take time to
enjoy some alone time and you will be surprised at how much you will discover. It is also during this
period that you will get to evaluate your future dreams and aspirations.
7. Do Not Give Up
No matter how disastrous your breakup was it is vital that you do not let it destroy the hope in you. Take
some time off from the dating field and take up hobbies that you enjoy. Spend more time with those
you cherish and adore. If you found love last time, then definitely you will find your perfect match some
day.

Law
Criminal Attorney
The job of a criminal attorney is to represent individuals who have been charged with various crimes in
a court of law. These crimes may range in severity from something major crimes like felony to a
misdemeanor with punishment ranging from a fine, community service, and imprisonment for a number
of years to even death. The U.S. Constitution guarantees all citizens charged with any crime a right to be
provided with legal representation.
Criminal law constitutes a complex body of federal and state legislations, with each state having its own
punishments and definitions for state crimes. Most crimes are state crimes, with the exception of crimes
involving infliction of injury on a federal employee and causing damage to federal property.
A criminal appearance attorney is able to assist the clientele through the whole criminal justice process,
which includes the pre-trial period. This is when a client chooses to retain the services of an attorney
while the crime is investigated and even before being charged. This happens when client is a suspect
and has reason to believe that he or she will soon be charged the legal professional can help by
instructing such a client when the authorities are questioning them and ensure that the suspect does
not divulge incriminating information.
The criminal lawyer also comes in handy when trying to convince the court to drop charges leveled
against a client based on improper procedure or insufficient evidence. A case in point is one that
involves police officers having a probable cause; meaning a compelling reason for making the arrest. A
criminal offence lawyer has the understanding of the law to present a case challenging the validity of the
officers reasoning in court. An attorney is able to show that the arresting officer may not have had
reason to instigate investigations around an alleged crime scene and make an arrest.
Criminal defense lawyers are also able to negotiate bail amount, which allow the suspect to be released
pending investigations and eventual trial. Other services offered by these lawyers include pleabargaining. This is where the attorney works at having the suspect’s charges or sentence reduced or
dropped in exchange for something vital to the case.
During trial, the criminal defense attorney does a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and
Threats) analysis of the case against a client. This way, they are able to come up with a defense strategy
to ensure that the client’s charges are either dropped or reduced depending on the circumstances
surrounding the case.
The criminal appearance attorney is also able to assist clients with the usual preps for a criminal trial
including jury selection, providing opening statements and questioning of witnesses. If the case is not
ruled in favor of the client, the legal professional is expected to offer assistance during the appeals
process.
News/Reporting Sample
The Dfe Signs New MoU with Microsoft on Behalf Of Schools
Department of Education (better known as the DfE) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
with Microsoft lasting from January 1st 2013 to December 31st 2015. The agreement, however, does not
have any effect on any other licenses that some schools could have already purchased and will only
apply to those that decide to get new licenses.
The current system offers primary schools a limited option on the types of software products that they
are able to work with. The new MoU offers them greater flexibility and better deals in terms of licensing
allowing them to use not only Microsoft applications but also those that are generally termed as
‘freeware’. Under the new program, schools will benefit from greater discounts as well as deals when it
comes to licensing. According to the DfE, the learning institutions will be able to acquire at good prices
educational software including PowerPoint, SharePoint, Excel and Word. We have estimated that the
total savings could even be higher than the £10 million over a period of 3 years as given by the
Department of Education especially considering that many of the schools could go for the Open Source
alternatives like Open Office.
Another major advantage is that since each school has unique needs and requirement the new MoU
gives them more room to manoeuvre. The agreement is detailed enough to cover almost every
foreseeable eventuality and takes into consideration the rapidly changing technologies. It is framed as a
working document whereby any upcoming technologies can be quickly incorporated and considered as
and when required.
This agreement will be of benefit to all schools no matter the choice of perpetual and subscription
licenses they decide to purchase. However, announced discounts will apply to Microsoft products during
point of wholesale purchase and the savings transferred to the learning institutions it is, therefore,
prudent that administration shops around for the best offers.
The first step to achieving licensing solution for a school is a comprehensive SWOT (Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunity and Threats) analysis of the current system. This step will help develop a
licensing scheme tailor made for that particular institution currently the best system that has
concessions in harmony with Microsoft is the Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES). Suppliers,
depending on the unique circumstances surrounding each primary school, are in a better position to
offer full benefits of each individual system.
Unfortunately, Microsoft does not intend to supply the schools directly hence it is vital that all purchases
are done through Authorised Education Re-sellers or Large Account Re-sellers. Other sources for further
information include the Academy Consortia, Local Authorities, and Regional Broadband Consortia.

Five Top Wifi Dongles for 2013
Wireless connectivity has offered many business and individuals a huge advantage in the means if
connecting in ways that were virtually unthinkable just a few years ago. This technology allows for fast
internet connection as long as there is network available and does so without the need to dig in too
deep in the pocket. For this reason, it is therefore pertinent that one gets the best wifi dongles for 2013
for the best available services. The things to look out for in any wireless adapter are data transfer
performance, security, easy to use, support & help as well as supported configurations.
Cisco Valet Connector AM10
At number 5, the Cisco Valet is easy to setup with a mounting base that helps in the reduction of
interference. Disadvantages include the fact that it works on only one band, which seriously hampers its
capability to reach speeds of up to 5GHZ. Security wise users rate this wireless device at 8 out of a
possible 10 points as it offers multiple layers that are generally part of the Wifi standards, these include
the WPA and WPA2 standards. The manufacturer, Cisco has a website that has live chat, toll free
number and an email for any support issues.
Netgear RangeMax WNDA 3100
At number 4 with an overall rating of 8.48 out of 10, The Netgear RangeMax WNDA 3100 Wifi Dongle
has a dual band wifi connectivity that offers high speeds of connection of 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ.
Unfortunately, it does not support computer systems that run on Windows 7 and Mac operating
systems. A standard security measure in use in the WNDA 3100 is Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the
second generation Wireless Protected Access (WPA 2), and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
Turning on any of the security policies is a simple matter of a Push and Connect button located on the
wireless adaptor.
D-Link DWA-160 Extreme N
The DWA-160 is fitted with Multiple Input/ Multiple Output technology (MIMO), which allows it to
achieve greater ranges than was previously possible in earlier products. When a signal bounces off walls,
and furniture it caused many dead spots and significantly reduced the range. With MIMO, it is now
possible for reflected data to be redirected such that the dead spots and short range are corrected
allowing the whole house to be completely covered. This product is easy to set up, use and comes with
an installation CD. However, its use is limited to only computer systems that use Windows Vista and
Windows XP alone but when available a firmware update will be easy to access from the firm’s website.
TRENDnet TEW-664UB
The TRENDnet TEW-664UB has the longest warranty in the industry with about 3 years. It also makes
use of dual band technologies and is probably the best selection for wireless adapters as long as you are
not using Windows 7 with which it is not compatible. TRENDnet has a customer care department that is
available on its website with various channels to support customer complaints including a knowledge
base that is searchable.
Cisco Linksys AE1000
The winner is the Cisco Linksys AE1000 device that offers high speeds of between 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ. The
higher speed ensures that the user is not browsing at crowded channels avoiding interference from
products such as remote controlled toys, cell phones and microwave ovens that operate mostly in the
2.4GHZ channel. The standard package comes along with a CD for ease of installation, a USB extension
cable and a mounting base.
With all the choices available, it is vital that you select a device that is able to help you achieve the
fastest internet speeds. Ensure that the manufacturer has several options of receiving your queries and
offer answers as well as a comprehensive warranty program.

What is a VPN (Virtual Private Network)?
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network that makes use of the available public communication
infrastructure but still maintains a high level of security guarding against the invasion of privacy it makes
use of advanced tunneling protocol and other security procedures. Another definition is that it is a group
of interconnected computers sharing the same resources but are not on the same physical Local Area
Network (LAN).
During connection to a VPN, one constant feature is a VPN client installed on the computer, on a
website, log in credentials and or using trusted keys for communication with a server in a distant
location. The verification process involves both computers identifying each other as authentic and a
connection is established, where all communication is secure and encrypted to avoid chances of
eavesdropping by third parties.
Reasons Why a VPN Service is Important
The VPN is a first step in ensuring your security over the internet, as well as share resources with other
team members no matter where they are on the globe. Most uses fall into different categories each
with unique and distinct features. Listed below are the most common uses of a VPN for further
information.
Worker/Student: The individual has obligations to either the company or school that require of him or
her to use the resources provided by the institution. In a majority of the cases, the VPN is provided free
by the parent organization, in case of any security concerns while at the airport, hotel, or anywhere else
all one has to do is to log in to the network and have a secure snoop-free connection.
Downloading: In some instances, there are companies that have out rightly outlawed downloading of
any kind, therefore, for the downloader paying for a VPN service is the next best choice to ensure they
get the stuff they require. To prevent one from getting into the black book of the company because of
using a torrent app to download software and others a VPN is a practical solution.
Privacy and Security: With a VPN one can be assured that all that is going through the communication
channels is safe from prying eyes. This way any business’ data is safe from tampering and manipulation
both of which can cause disastrous results if company secrets are leaked to the competition. It also
means any information related to bank transactions is safe from those looking to take advantage of a
weak security system to reap where they have not sown.
Keep in touch with current events: A globetrotter finally has the chance to keep up with his or her
favorite shows over the internet just as they were home. This means that instead of waiting a couple of
weeks or been locked out simply because you are not in your home country, an individual can stream
and get the low down on the happenings on the episodes as well as the goings on in his or her country
of origin live.
Elements of a Good VPN
Selecting a good VPN is largely based on the specific needs of an individual as some are geared towards
circumventing the restrictions placed by companies and institutions of learning. Other VPNs target
individuals looking to do some heavy downloading while others just provide a little bit of privacy.
However, a good VPN should offer a balance between several server locations, connectivity protocols,
price and ease of use. Other factors that should be looked into include protocol used, exit and corporate
locations, logging policy of the owning company, Anti spyware and malware features, support for mobile
devices, and of course dependability.
Depending on the type of surfer you are virtual private networks are your best bet into ensuring that
your data is safe and kept away from the eyes of those looking to know more about you through
apprehensive means.

A Guide to Choosing the Best Wisconsin Quality Trailer Hitches for Your Vehicle
There is a wide variety of Wisconsin Quality Trailer Hitches available in the market each of them is
designed for different trailer types and applications. However, do not let this wide selection bog you
down; it should make you aware that you will find a product that is designed for just your need. A
couple of factors should be taken into deliberation when buying a hitch and this includes what you are
planning to haul as well as the vehicle type. For starters, look at your vehicle’s owner manual and
establish the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) total mass of the trailer with cargo and hardware, Tongue
Weight (TW) amount of weight that rests directly on a hitch. These two figures will then help you figure
out the hitch to install.
Trailer Class Ratings and Weight
Having established the GTW and TW of your truck’s towing capacity, you can easily find the hitch you
require. Trailer hitches are available in five weight classes, from Class 1 to Class 5, each meant to
accommodate different vehicle and trailer types. Considering the number of hitch manufacturers, it is
vital that you look at their different features before settling on one.
Heavy Duty Hitches
At times, you might be required to haul large loads; therefore, heavy-duty hitches are the best option
for you. They are able to carry some of the biggest loads by placing the hitch point on the truck bed,
over the rear axle allowing your truck to support more weight than would be possible with a
conventional bumper hitch.
Weight Distributing Hitches
Many hitches tend to create a pull on the vehicle’s rear down while lifting the front end up, making for
an uncomfortable and unsafe drive. The problem is easily fixed by making use of a load-equalizing hitch
that is known as the weight-distributing hitch.
Front Mount Hitches
Some applications may require you to hitch your trailer to the front of your truck and front mount
hitches are the solution. These applications include using a boat ramp since it provides with more
control over the trailer. Other applications are snow plows and winch plates.
Finally, another essential consideration when looking to buy Wisconsin Quality Trailer Hitches includes
the availability of five star Wholesale trailer parts.
How Can Professional Web Content Increase Your Online Pastry Sales?
Using content on your pastry website is fast becoming one of the best marketing strategies in the
industry, according to numerous studies. The phenomenon has become so widespread that pastry
businesses in the US, United Kingdom, Australia, and many other countries are discovering the value of
content driven marketing on their websites. Professional web content can certainly help your pastry
business increase its online sales through several ways.
What is Content Marketing?
Content marketing is the provision of valuable information to your current and potential customer
through media such as videos, podcasts, or blogs. At the risk of sounding contradictory – content
marketing is about helping and not just generating sales. Content marketing has steadily grown partly
due to customer apathy towards advertising. In a nutshell, when individuals are online, they are not
looking to be sold to, rather they are looking to be entertained or informed. In order to increase your
chances of making a sale, you, therefore, need to provide some pastry advice. Tie your advice with a
product or service you will offer your clients.
Building Credibility
Provision of valuable content created by a professional website content writing service will show the
customer your expertise and reinforce his or her trust and confidence in your pastry products. You can
make the advice so useful, that it even leads your customers to thanking you and sharing your content
with friends via social media platforms.
Great content is all about adding value to that very first encounter your client has with your business
website. This will later lead to recommendations and sales.
Making Your Content Social
Working with a professional web content creator ensures that your content is easy to share on social
media platforms. Shared content means that your pastry business is benefitting from one of the best
marketing tools of all time – personal endorsement and recommendation. In today's world, people are
more likely to listen to advice from friends and peers before they make a purchasing decision.
The Public Relations Angle
When your content is newsworthy, it gets publicity value. Professional writing services will help you
locate the most valuable publications that will add enormous value to your pastry business. When the
publications express interest in your business articles, make sure that they link the article to your
website.
Another great content marketing strategy you should adopt for your pastry business is on-going
production and distribution of high-quality web content. The proven strategy offers you recognition and
helps you build trust – meaning more business for you.
Having good web content on your pastry business website is a critical factor that will help you gain
credibility, trust and, ultimately, increased sales from individuals visiting your site. If you are ready to
take advantage of the new marketing strategy, do not hesitate; get in touch with a professional writing
service. Great content created for your website will see you become busier as you work hard to fulfill
not only internet pastry orders, but also walk in orders. The best thing you can do for your business this
year, is getting entertaining, informative content on your pastry business website.
2 Little-Known Side Effects of Acupuncture that are Perfectly Normal
Acupuncture enables you to enjoy less stress, better digestion, mental clarity, more energy, and better
sleep. For many acupuncture goers, these positive effects occur on a regular basis after attending a
session. However, with the increased popularity of acupuncture, many people are wondering if there
are less than pleasant side effects of acupuncture.
Indeed, there are some less agreeable side effects of acupuncture. These negative side effects are most
often rarer than the positive effects of acupuncture, but they can and do sporadically occur. Although
they are not life threatening and are usually fleeting, it is still a good idea that you should be aware of
them. In the event you experience some of these little known effects, you will recognize that they are
normal and are not really something that should concern you too much.
Muscle Twitching
Some people experience uncontrolled muscle twitching during and or after an acupuncture session. In
most cases, the twitching occurs in the muscles that are receiving the acupuncture needles and, in a few
instances, on random parts of the body relatively far from the needles.
Muscle spasm and muscle twitching are different. Muscle spasm occurs abruptly, is painful and usually
short-lived while twitching is minor muscle contraction in an area, and often goes unnoticed. If during or
after an acupuncture session you experience muscle spasming, tell the acupuncturist. Most probably, he
or she will release it before you leave.
Emotional Responses
A few individuals cry during or after an acupuncture session. Crying is not caused by pain, but by the
release of their bottled emotions that have accumulated over several months or even years. This
emotional release usually happens in acupuncture and is considered a positive experience. However, the
outburst is likely to surprise some individuals who consider themselves emotionally enduring.
Extra emotional sensitivity can occur during a session, and even days after and is a typical experience.
This is an indicator that acupuncture is working for you. Even as you seek acupuncture for treatment of a
physical ailment, the emotional expression means that healing is occurring. From the acupuncture point
of view, emotional and physical health are interconnected. Therefore, emotional shifts are an indicator
that physical changes are occurring as well.
While the two side effects discussed above rarely occur, they should not be a cause for concern, but you
probably know your body better than anyone else does. If the side effects tend to last too long or
become too severe – or you notice other adverse reactions to the acupuncture treatment – contact your
acupuncturist.
