Panthers Stadium and Spectrum Center Opening Back Up As Early Voting Locations

The Mecklenburg County Board of Elections have voted to make Charlotte’s largest venues early voting locations for the upcoming 2020 election.

During the meeting, the board discussed the need to provide the 300,000+ people who are anticipated to vote early enough voting machines while also allowing for social distancing during the ongoing pandemic.

The Board of Elections now plan on transforming the Bank of America Stadium, the Spectrum Center, and the Bojangles Coliseum (in addition to 33 other smaller sites around our city) into socially distanced and sanitized voting locations.

They will be using the massive venues to spread the voting machines out twice as far as has been done in prior years to at least 6′ away from each other.

The Charlotte Hornets, who currently manage the city-owned Spectrum Center, now join the Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, and Detroit Pistons as teams allowing their facilities to be used as voting locations.

What do you think about the new plan?

How to Improve Your Chances of Online Dating Success

Online dating was once something that people would keep a secret but today, it has become very mainstream and many couples who met online are quite proud of this fact. Online dating can work for anybody simply because there are millions of people signed up to online dating sites, so the chance of finding somebody who’s great for you is pretty good. But on the other hand, the fact that there are so many potential matches to choose from, and the fact that you are speaking to somebody online rather than face-to-face, could mean that you’re not getting much luck from your online dating journey using top dating apps. Here’s what you can do to improve your chances. 

Try Different Dating Sites:

If you’ve been signed up to a certain dating site for quite some time and don’t appear to be getting much luck from it, it might be time to think about switching to another one. There’s no rules that say you can’t utilize a number of different dating sites at the same time, so consider using a few different ones that are designed for people like you. Choose your dating site wisely to make sure that you are using one that is a good fit for you and what you are looking for; some are designed for hookups more than they are serious relationships. 

Know What You Want:

You are going to struggle to find the right person for you if you don’t know what you want and what you are looking for. Spend some time thinking about what you want in a partner and a relationship before you start to find Chico pretty girls. Otherwise, you could simply end up speaking with loads of people but not being able to spot what you want even when it’s right in front of you. Don’t rush into dating if you don’t feel ready; there’s nothing wrong with staying single for a while and figuring yourself out. 

Be Positive:

Positivity goes a long way in helping you find success when using a local dating service in Apple Valley. In fact, most people say that they are going to be more interested in viewing somebody’s dating profile and potentially getting to know them if they use positive language. Try and steer clear of using self-deprecating humor or anything else that could come over as negative on your dating profile and let your positive outlook on the world shine through instead. 

Choose Interesting Profile Photos:

The photos that you choose for your dating profile can say a lot about you, so it’s important to take the time to choose the right ones. Opt for nice photos that stand out from the crowd instead of the generic selfie that will run the risk of simply making you blend in. Your first photo should be a nice full-body or head and shoulders shot of yourself and you should also include some pictures of you doing things that you enjoy, as this can make it easier for your potential matches to start a conversation with you about your interests.

The Significance of Gemstones and Your Zodiac

Naturally occurring, gemstones are not mere ornaments. When aligned to your zodiac sign, these precious stones possess powers that can help relax your body and mind, improve your health and bring clarity on issues that appear hazy or mysterious. You can also use zodiac signs and gemstones for very personal reasons such as revamping your love life or seeking to assert yourself on your career path or business. 

Zodiac signs serve to point us to the right gems that are a reflection of our inner self.

Let’s Look At the Significance of Various Gemstones In Line With Your Zodiac Sign

Aries (March 21-April 19) 

The planet Mars controls people who fall under this sign. 

They are known to be hard to deal with; therefore, the ideal gemstone that calms them down and gives them composure is garnet or coral.

Other stones that work well with the sign Aries are Bloodstone, Carnelian, Jasper, and Diamond.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Controlled by the planet Venus, these individuals are known to trust easily and are also very emotional, which can work against them. 

The right stone for them is diamond as; it is a strong gem and helps them stay away from people who mean harm.

Other stones that work well with Taurus are Jade, Amber, Emerald, Turquoise, Sapphire, and Rose Quartz.

Gemini (May 21- June 20) 

Gemini people are ruled by planet Mercury. 

They have a love for the fine things of life; however, they always seem to experience a delay in achieving success. 

An emerald gemstone can get them timely success and fame.

Other stones that blend well with Gemini are Citrine, Moonstone and Silver.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) 

These individuals are ruled by the moon and are known to be haughty yet very intelligent. According to the Costar Astrology website, Cancerians like their home, most of all and they do not like change. More about this sign can be revealed by following The Cancerian Channel on Youtube. You can as well read a brief description of the personal qualities of Cancer to understand this sign better. A pearl works best to control and stabilize their emotions. Other stones that work with the cancer zodiac sign are Emerald and Ruby.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

The Leo sign is controlled by the sun. 

These people are known to be very kind and exceptionally generous; however, success only comes to them after serious hard work. 

Ruby is the ideal gem for them as it eases their acquisition of success.

Other stones that work best with Leo are Garnet and Red Opal.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22) 

Controlled by mercury, they are known to be very possessive in relationships and take issues very personally. 

An emerald works to bring them joy and inner peace. 

Libra (September 23 – October 22) 

This set of people is controlled by Venus. They are extraordinarily ambitious and love the money and fame that comes with success. However, they are known to be very selfish. 

Their dominant gem is the opal, although topaz and blue diamond also work to give them positivity in life.

Scorpio (October 23 and November 21)

Ruled by Mars, these individuals are incredibly patient, and success doesn’t come easy for them. 

A coral gemstone is ideal for unlocking and quickening their success.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Controlled by the big planet Jupiter, these individuals are associated with power and wealth, and yellow sapphire is ideal as it magnifies their status. 

Capricorn (December 22 –January 19)

This lot of people are controlled by the planet Saturn and often come around as extremely helpful and pleasant individuals, but struggle to make it in life the better part of their lifetime.  

Pearls and Blue sapphire will be more promising and beneficial.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Guided by Uranus, these individuals are intelligent yet very timid.  Again, blue sapphire is their ideal gemstone.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

The planet Neptune controls a Pisces individual. They are always a happy lot. 

The right gem for these people is the yellow sapphire, as it helps them achieve more success and happiness in their lives.

Caution should be taken when picking the right gemstone to communicate what the celestial bodies are relaying back to your life. 

A wrong choice can work against you and worsen your situation. Be careful to receive guidance from an astrologer before you can decide on the right gemstone to purchase.

What to Do If You’ve Incurred a Personal Injury in Public

What to Do If You’ve Incurred a Personal Injury in Public

Owing to the congestion and presence of structures, vehicles, pet animals, and other installations, public places can pose a risk, that may harm people. Some of the common injuries that can occur in public places may include car accidents, dog bites, injuries from falling objects, or harm by other people’s actions.

These accidental injuries can often result in emotional anguish, loss of opportunities, trauma, and consequently affects the livelihoods of some people. This, therefore, calls for a need to handle the situation from a point of information and caution—this is vital in securing compensation or reducing the effects of such accidents.

Below are some tips to follow, if you get injured in public places:

  • Seek Medical Attention

Your body may be bleeding from the injuries; or you could also have suffered spinal cord injuries, fractures, or broken limbs. Call for an ambulance to receive immediate medical attention. If there are members of the public, seek first aid or accept any medical assistance offered to you.

If your injuries are severe ensure you get examined and treated by the concerned doctors or medical staff. This will help in the healing, and getting certified medical records and treatment.  

This stage is important for seeking compensation from insurance companies and those parties who caused the accidents. Ensure the medical professionals provide a detailed report of your injury.

  • Gather Evidence

Personal injuries cause bodily harm and financial loss that are difficult to recover without due compensation. This is the role of insurance firms and compensation legal suits. Also, any case has to be backed by solid evidence and witnesses.

Ensure you do the following: –

  • Take Photographs– If you are badly injured and sustained serious injuries, ask someone to take pictures of the scene. These are important in proving your case beyond a reasonable doubt.
  • Take Details Of The Witnesses– Ensure you capture details like phone number, place of residence, name, and their willingness to assist you in solving the case.
  • Notes– Take any other notes like over speeding, negligence, and other special notes that can help solidify the case or compensation quest.

If you’re not in a good state, you can request help from available injury lawyers to gather all the facts of the case.

  • Talk to Personal Injury Lawyer

After a personal injury, your lifestyle will probably be affected, including the ability to earn a living. You need someone to walk with you through this journey and provide some professional support. Talking to reputable law firms like Shiner Law Group or other great firms is a positive step forward.

Hiring attorneys will provide you the following benefits: 

  • Interpreting the Insurance Contract Document– Insurance policies include technical terms and jargon. Interpretation of these terms can affect your compensation potential. A lawyer can offer intervention to avoid unfairness from the insurance firms.
  • Seeking Medical Assistance– A lawyer can offer emergency medical assistance awaiting compensation. This can be done using the contingency fee plan.
  • Evaluating All Documentation– A lawyer can evaluate and ensure the completeness of medical records, required to defend the case. They can also assist in gathering sufficient evidence for your case.
  • Out-Of-Court Settlements– A lawyer has the experience, calmness, and the knowledge that’s required to achieve a peaceful settlement.  

 

  • Scrutinize Any Out Of Court Settlement

 

When other parties cause accidents and personal injuries, they’re sometimes quick to offer compensation. This is an affirmation of their guilt. It could also be an attempt to avoid any court cases or a fair conclusion of the matter—this isn’t for your best interest.

Don’t be too eager to accept any offer. You should also avoid negotiating at this time; the state of mind and the body can affect your decision-making ability

 

  • File An Insurance Or Compensation Claim

 

Seeking compensation from insurance offers relief from the sustained injuries. This includes medical treatment, compensation of financial loss, and any future damages. It’s important to note the statute of limitations puts a cap on the time spent before filing a case. 

If you’re not satisfied with the offer given by the insurance or compensating party, talk to a lawyer. This’ll involve computing new payment structures and sealing of possible loopholes the compensating parties may have utilized.

If a stand-off ensues, leading to a court case, Catastrophic and Personal Injury Attorneys play a crucial role in structuring the case for better compensation from the judicial system.

Conclusion

The effects of personal injury affect the ability to conduct life normally. This calls for compensation from insurance and other parties. To achieve the best compensation package, you must take relevant steps like gather the evidence, seek and document medical assistance, and file claims on time.

Hence, a lawyer can help you get better value from the compensation or reduce the burden of seeking relief.

US Department of Labor Fines 12 McDonalds in North Carolina For Violating Child Labor Laws

US Department of Labor Fines 12 McDonalds in North Carolina For Violating Child Labor Laws

After an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD), Mt. Airy Partners Inc. – a Summerfield, North Carolina-based enterprise operating 12 McDonald’s restaurants in North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad Region – has paid a civil money penalty of $17,586 for violating child labor requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

The WHD investigation determined Mt. Airy Partners employed 35 employees, ages 14- and 15-years-old, across its 12 locations. The employer violated child labor requirements by allowing minors to work outside of the hours allowed for that age group, when the law limits their hours to working no more than three hours on a school day and between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. during the period of Labor Day through June 1. The employer also violated FLSA recordkeeping requirements when it failed to maintain proof of age for most of its minor employees.

“Child labor laws exist to strike a balance between providing a meaningful work experience for young people and keeping them safe on the job so that the work does not jeopardize their health and well-being or educational opportunities. Employers must not allow 14 and 15-year-olds to work beyond legally permitted hours,” said Wage and Hour Division District Director Richard Blaylock, in Raleigh, North Carolina. “We encourage all employers to review their employment obligations and to contact the Wage and Hour Division with any questions they may have.”

The Department offers numerous resources to ensure employers have the tools they need to understand their responsibilities and to comply with federal law, such as online videos and confidential calls to local WHD offices.

For more information about the FLSA, child labor and other laws enforced by the Wage and Hour Division, contact the toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243). Information is also available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd, including a search tool for workers who may be owed back wages collected by WHD.

The Wahine Classic, North Carolina’s most prestigious and longest-running surf event for women and girls, returns to Wrightsville Beach Aug. 14-16, 2020. Open to lady surfers of all ages, competitors will include amateurs, professionals, and teenie-wahines.
“The mission of Wahine Classic is to empower girls of all ages, build their self-confidence and self-esteem, and promote physical, mental, and emotional wellness,” said Jo Pickett, event organizer. “The atmosphere is friendly and enjoyable, where many girls get their start and their first taste of surfing competition. Everybody’s happy and laughing.”
“Competing with all girls creates a fun atmosphere where we can be competitive but become even better friends,” said Callie Hertz of Wilmington, winner of three Wahine Classic titles in 2019 (Junior Women Shortboard, Girls Under 16 Shortboard, and Junior Women Longboard). “If it hadn’t been for the Wahine Classic, I am not sure I would have gotten into competitive surfing.”
“2017 was my first year to compete in the Wahine Classic,” added Hertz. “That was my first surf contest ever. I’m really excited to compete again this year. I know there will be even more girls, which is always a good thing. The encouraging vibes at the Wahine Classic helped me gain the confidence to compete in other surf contests.”
“It is promising to see surfing and more watersports opportunities for ladies and girls,” said Mary Baggett, co-owner of host hotel Blockade Runner Beach Resort. “With surfing now an Olympic sport, one day, we hope to see our North Carolina Wahine Classic girls on the podium wearing gold, silver, or bronze.”
“The health and safety of our participants and spectators are of paramount importance,” said Pickett. “All athletes will be provided face masks and required to comply with local and state safety regulations to combat the spread of COVID19.”
Participants required to wear face masks and to practice social distancing
Competitive sports for the 2020 Wahine Classic include shortboard, longboard, standup paddleboard, and soft top. Divisions include guppies, girls, junior women, women, professionals, and the ever-popular teenie-wahine. Check the Wahine Classic website for a breakout of the competitive sports by division.
Division winners will receive prizes contributed by local, national, and international businesses. A cash prize is provided in the Pro Divisions. Several lucky recipients will win a surf trip to Costa Rica, courtesy of Jo Pickett, the event’s organizer, and Crystal South Surf Community.
Over twenty-five sponsors make the Wahine Classic possible, including Marine Warehouse Center, Blockade Runner Beach Resort, Oceanic Restaurant, and the Crystal South Surf Community.
Co-directors of the Wahine Classic are Amy Rose, Mid-Atlantic regional director of the Eastern Surfing Association, and Mary Ann Mangiacapre, former competition director of the Eastern Surfing Association. Other members of the team (not all-inclusive) include Will McEachern, event announcer; Craig Newkirk, EMT, beach marshal, and set up; Gina Gray, tabulator; Johnny Langone, scaffolding; and, Ed Potter, event photographer. Event judges are Jesse Heter, Trevor Francis, Alexander Harris, Ken Roberts, and Bradley Rose. 2020 Ambassadors include Roxy Chaney, Callie Summerlin, Delilah Hutchins, Samantha Newkirk, Leah Thompson, and Callie Hertz.
“We’re very proud of all the girls participating each year in the Wahine Classic,” said Pickett. “As the young girls become teenagers and move into their 20s, their accomplishments are impressive. Many will keep the ocean an important part of their lives.”
“At 16, I am figuring out my long-term goals,” said Hertz. “Whatever I do, I hope that surfing will be a big part of it.”

Charlotte’s First Indoor Mini Golf Cocktail Lounge Officially Reopening After Covid-19 Shutdown

Putt-Putt fans rejoice – Charlotte’s biggest, first, and only indoor miniature golf and cocktail lounge just announced they are reopening after being shut down for nearly 4 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stroke Charlotte combines a high-tech nine-hole miniature golf mini-golf course with a 1970s-inspired cocktail lounge in the heart of Plaza Midwood.

The unique concept was the brainchild of Scott and Ashleigh Gadd, who sold Charlotte’s popular ‘Axe Club of America’ back in October and decided to create something a little less dangerous and a little more unique.

“From our decor, to our course, to the drinks at our lounge, everything is meant to surprise you, keep you interested, and to have fun,” Stroke’s CEO Ashleigh Gadd told me. “We may throw you for a couple loops, but that’s the intention.”

The unique course starts at hole #1 by the front door, then snakes around plans, unique seating arrangements, countless drink holders, and some truly unique surprises along the way. Once you’ve played the course and had a few drinks, Strokes also offers a free-to-play arcade putting games to satisfy even the most ardent indoor putt-putt fanatic.

In addition to a truly unique game of mini-golf, Stroke also offers some of the most creative cocktails in the Queen City, featuring 9 signature drinks that change seasonlly, including the popular ‘New South Sour’ with strawberry wine and the Bermuda Thousand with 1000 Piers Gin from NC’s Hackney Distillery.

After you’ve worked up an appetite dominating the greens, Stroke also features a 9-item small bites menu with clubhouse inspired dishes.

Stroke Charlotte is located at 1318 Pecan Ave in Plaza Midwood.

You can find out more about Stroke, as well as what changes they have made to help keep people as safe as possible during COVID-19 on their website here.
