Is it Possible to decrypt the code applying your own specific strategy or trust on a lotto syndicate to choose them on your behalf? We unrealistically believe that if we don’t do anything or sometimes do it the wrong way that something bad may happen, in this case; if we miss doing our numbers that week they are sure to come up!

Millions of people each and every week prefer to use identical numbers for their entries; quite often these are memorable dates of loved ones, which in some lottos can only cover part of any possible lottery choices.

Being the person to decide on those lotto winning numbers is of course something each and every committed lottery player wants to do and as humans, we all possess an acquired bias against anything random, we like some form of control and rules that make sense to us.

So your number comes up more frequently; why should it come up again? its impossible to choose any set of lottery numbers that are likely to win. Lotteries are a game of pure chance and each lottery number picked is simply at random. So the upshot in that respect is - no one number is more random than another.

If you look at the rules of probability, as one lottery number is drawn the likelihood of your chosen number going to be drawn next is slightly increased because the potential selection is reduced.

If you choose the same numbers each week, just remember they are however hit-and-miss numbers and you stand just as much a chance of winning with those same numbers as with a lucky-dip option. However, if you use birthday numbers in a lotto draw your chances of winning the jackpot still remain the same but then, likewise your prospect of keeping the jackpot to yourself is significantly reduced because so many other individuals use birthday numbers in their selections.

Employing the same lottery numbers will mean you will have to play 135,000 times to even receive an evens chance of winning. Unfortunately, to win the lottery jackpot you only have more or less a 1 in 14 million chance of being successful; nonetheless we all believe it could be us. Does that sound like a good possibility; would you be better off joining up to a lotto syndicate?

I like to bark. I mean, I like to bark A LOT. So, whattya gonna do about it? Well, if you’re Amber and Terry, you’re going to do NOTHING about it. Ain’t nobody going to silence the Rubinman, you know what I’m sayin’? If you’re NOT Amber and Terry, though (i.e. you’re smart) and you want to know how to get your dog to just freakin’ shut up once in a while, here’s what you need to know…

Why is your dog barking?

I’ll be honest here: I bark because I like it. And because it gets me some attention. I’m all about the attention. Now, you coulda probably guessed about the attention thing, but the fact that we actually ENJOY it? Who knew?

It’s true, though. Sometimes I just get a kick out of it. It’s like, I start barking because I’m excited, and then after a while I’m all, “hey! This totally rocks!” So I bark some more. And then some more after that. Then I finish up with a quick round of barking. Sometimes I come back for an encore. The truth is, by this time, like Justin Timberlake, I’m lovin’ it. So, how’re you gonna stop me? (Clue: you’re not. You’ll NEVER stop the Rubinman. But you know what I mean.)

Well, if you want to stop a dog that’s barking just for the hell of it, you’re gonna hafta get clever. Cleverer than Amber and Terry. Whatever you do, DON’T shout at me. You want to know what I think when you shout at me while I’m barking? I think, “Coooool! They’re totally barking with me! This SO rocks!” Ha! Amateurs!

No, what you need to do is, you need to distract me. You could play with me. You could feed me. (Actually, you should totally feed me. That’s the best thing to do. End of article.) But it’s better if you TRAIN me. Uh-huh. TRAIN ME.

Now, I know what y’all are thinking. You’re all, “But the Rubinman is cleverer than me! I’d NEVER train him!” Well, you’re right. You totally wouldn’t. But if you have a NORMAL dog, you can train it. Mebbe.

I am what’s called “clicker trained.” Clicker training is when you, like, get this CLICKY thing and get your dog to believe that if the thing clicks, something good happens. Could be a goodboy. Could be a big cuddle. (Note: the Rubinman is NOT a sissy. But a cuddle can be nice). Could be playing with your toys. Whatever it is, it’s GOOD. The clicker is power, and once ya got power over the dog, you’re the boss of it.* If you’re REALLY clever, you can teach your mutt to bark on command, and then stop barking on command too, using the clicker. That’s probably too advanced for you lot, though, so…

Understand why YOUR dog is barking

So, yeah, now you know why the Rubinman barks. It’s important to know why YOUR dog barks, though. Here are some possible reasons:

He is bored.
He is scared. (I mean, I’m NEVER scared, but then I WAS raised by wolves…)
He is lonely.
He has seen the postman.
Little Timmy is stuck down a well and your dog wants to lead you to that well, rescue little Timmy and get a reward. I’ll tell ya, that happens to me a LOT.

Soooooo many reasons for barking there. First thing you need to do is, you need to find out which reason is the right one. I’ll be honest here: it’s probably the postman.

A word about the postman

Most so-called “exerts” will tell you that your dog barks when he sees the postman because the postman is intruding on your property and the dog can’t tell the difference between “friend” and “foe.” What a lot of crap experts talk, no? If I talked crap like that, man, I’d be ashamed to call myself the Rubinman, I really would.

As any dog will tell you, we bark at the postman because we hate that sucker. In the wild, postmen are our natural enemies. Walking up our driveway day after day. Stuffing things through our door. Ringing the bell. I mean, honestly, do YOU think that’s acceptable behaviour?

Stopping the barking

You ain’t never gonna stop the “me against the postman” mentality. All you can do, really, is bribe your dog to stay quiet. Remember: we have no morals. (I mean, we sniff other dog’s butts IN THE STREET, do we look like we’d turn up our noses at a spot of bribery?) We won’t be offended if you bribe us.

Now, I’m not saying you should always bribe us with chocolate goodboys. (I totally AM saying that, by the way). I’m just saying the best way to get us to behave is to reward us handsomely when we behave ourselves. Goodboys. Cuddles. Rubbing our furry bellies. Do this and we will stop barking. Mebbe.

* Amber and Terry, obviously, are NOT the boss of me, though. No one’s the boss of me.

If you live in a flat and there is water coming from an upstairs apartment that damages your unit, are you responsible? Do you have to claim it on your insurance? These are excellent questions but, unfortunately, there is not one standard answer. If your lower flat is damaged by water that comes from an apartment above you, the source of the water leak must be determined. This is because there are different liabilities depending on the cause. Generally, the lower flats are not responsible for water damage that originates from a higher flat and do not need to claim it on their insurance. However, it is not that simple. If, for example, a water pipe that is hidden in a wall is to break, then the responsible party would be the landlord or the owner of the building. This is something that nobody could predict would happen, so the responsible party is the building owner. If something like a clothes washer hose would break and it could be proved that this was from negligence, then the tenants of that apartment are responsible for the damage. Proving negligence may be a difficult thing to substantiate. There are a few other matters that need to be considered. First, personal property is not covered by insurance. If water damages your flat and your new couch is ruined, the owner will pay to fix the apartment but not replace the couch. Because of this fact, purchasing contents insurance is a very good idea. It is inexpensive and will cover all of your personal property. Also, event though other parties are responsible for damage to your flat and their insurance is responsible; actually getting someone to file a claim may be difficult. You may have to seek legal options to get them to pay.
