Internet Privacy Policies – What You Should Know
Nov 12th

Internet privacy is a growing concern today. When you are online, information is being gathered at every page click. Information is gathered about your surfing habits, and that information is stored. There are cases where information you provide to a website may be provided to a third party for direct marketing.
You may be searching the Internet looking to purchase a product, and may or may not buy anything. Consequently, your email box is soon full of advertisements—and it is no coincidence. Many people consider it an acceptable trade off to provide an IP or email address for the convenience More >

To us in Australia, the good old U. S. of A. is a wonderful nation that provides a lot – from movies, celebrities, and reality TV, to clothing, food and influencing the way we speak. Today, the US legal system is going to provide us with a chuckle in a light-hearted look at some of the most humorously out-dated laws in America.
No Moustache Please
A throw back from the early days, it is still against the law for a man with a moustache to kiss a woman in the town of Eureka, Nevada. Good thing Rhett and Scarlett didn’t visit there.

Know Your Rights After DUI Arrest
Sep 2nd
Tweet
Getting a DUI is not a pleasant experience, but it does not have to be something that ruins your life. This is not an event that defines who you are. People make mistakes every day. It is how you react when these mistakes happen, and how you rebound from them in the future, that will define you as a person. This is where you will prove that the mistake was simply a lapse in judgment, a temporary error. You will show your friends and family members that it does not reflect on your character or your moral fortitude. You need More >

Thompsons Personal Injury Solicitors Scotland are announcing a new, imaginative and fun way to offer students a No Win No Fee Internship at one of their offices in Scotland. I’m sure this will take a few people back to the days when they were students looking for a summer job and ending up working in bars or cafes which would pay the bills but probably not much more! I presume leaving little time or money for socialising with friends and family.
Looking back I bet people would have jumped at the chance to win a summer placement with one of Scotland’s top More >
Car Accidents and abdominal injuries
Feb 14th
Tweet
Abdominal injuries are common in car accidents and are extremely dangerous as they can cause serious damage to liver, kidneys, spleen or intestinal tract.
The abdominal is most likely to be injured in a car accident where the steering wheel or some other hard object hits the chest or stomach. This can cause rib pain or even rib fractures, which then can further cause inner bleeding. Furthermore, rupture of abdominal aorta may occur. When the stomach is severely compressed, it may burst and if it does, it is almost certainly going to be a fatal injury to the patient. Sometimes, the internal bleeding may More >

There is a widely popular misconception that driving at night is less dangerous than during day and it is less likely to cause car accidents. Many drivers choose to exceed the speed limit when driving at night, as there are seemingly less cars on the road and therefore less chance for a car accident to occur.
The reality is that as much as a quarter of all car accident occurs in the ‘night hours’. This suggests that extra care should be taken, when driving at night. To begin with, the vision of a driver is severely limited at night and therefore the advantage More >
