So, what do you have to search for when you’re selecting a cab company?

Licence

A very good mini cab enterprise will be licensed by their local government. Necessities for licensing can vary, but authorities must know that the cars used by the taxi company are appropriate for carrying passengers, and firms may have to provide proof of ownership and relevant service records for the automobiles, in addition to copies of the driving licences of drivers working for the company. Once licensed, the company ought to show their licence digits on the cab itself, so verify that the service is licensed before you book with them.

Suggestions

Advice is usually one of the simplest ways to discover a good mini cab company. Discover which providers are used recurrently by stores and physician’s surgeries, or ask neighbours which firms they might use. You’ll find that most individuals have come across an organization with very bad or very good service and are happy to tell you who they use.

Price

When you’re planning a long trip, be sure that the agency you choose is willing to agree upon a cost before you start. Most reliable firms can have set prices for trips to metropolis centres or airports and if you agree upon this worth prior to departure, you won’t get any unwanted surprises near the end. For shorter trips, request an estimate and discover whether extra expenses apply after a specific time period.

If you are going to be using a mini cab service on a regular basis, it makes sense to do a little bit of research before you decide upon a booking. In this case, you can find a company that exceeds all your needs and is of real value to you.

If you are in doubt, use the cabwise service provided by transport for London. Cabwise

Online music service Spotify is halving the amount of free music that users can listen to.

Users of its free service will be limited to 10 hours per month, half the time currently offered and will only be able to listen to tracks five times, from May.

New users will get six months of free content before the changes kick in.

The news has angered fans who accuse the firm of seeking to change its model from free to paid.

This is something denied by Spotify.

Ken Parks, Spotify’s chief content officer told the BBC: “Our chief priority is to keep the free service, which is what has made Spotify so popular.

“We’re a company whose ambition is to offer all the world’s music to everyone which means growing the business and our user base to many times its current size.”

“Everything we do is designed to ensure our users continue to have access to an amazing free experience,” he added.

Last month, the online music service announced that it had one million paying subscribers across Europe.

But the majority of its 6.67m listeners use the free service, which is subsidised by adverts.
So long

Announcing the new plans in its blog the firm said that the changes – which begin on May 1 – would mainly affect heavier users.

Spotify and the record labels are locked in a marriage that neither seems to be enjoying”

“Most of you use Spotify to discover music – on average over 50 new tracks per month, even after a year,” it said.

“For anyone who thinks they might reach these limits, we hope you’ll consider checking out our Unlimited and Premium services.”

Experts have said that Spotify’s long-term profitability depends on users switching to the premium services that remove adverts and allow listeners to use smartphones.

“The economics of ad-supported music services just don’t add up and Spotify can’t survive long-term while it haemorrhages money from its free service,” said Mark Mulligan, an analyst with Forrester Research.

One of the big issues for services such as Spotify is the fees demanded by the music industry – which work out at around 1p per play, according to Mr Mulligan.

“The record labels don’t like having a permanent free service around, it is like sleeping with the enemy.

“But too many people expect music to be free now and if there are no legitimate free services it will drive them back to the illegal sector,” he warned.

The first response on Spotify’s blog read: “So long Spotify. It was nice knowing you. Guess I’ll go back to pirating music again then.”

Looks like Spotify will loose many users over this, and many of them threatening to go back to pirating! There are plenty of comments on the Spotify blog along the lines of this: “Well, that’s it. Too bad that a service who got all their users on being free now tries to force their users to pay.”

However, it seems there may be ulterior forces at work. According to an article in the Independent, pressure from record labels has forced the streaming music service to make the move. Looks like Spotify has ditched the loyal users who have been with them from the start to be able to launch in the USA. Maybe it will back fire on them?

Ironically, I know an array of people (i.e. athletes and regular students) who are currently dealing with the affects of the “crippling process”.  As an All-State athlete, I believe the athletes have been crippled the most in every side of the spectrum. I say this because they are afforded additional privileges that regular students can’t imagine. For example, two star basketball players on academic probation, with F’s in various classes, were allowed to participate in the State Playoffs. These same two players were also allowed to graduate in order to acquire athletic scholarships.

This is an instance where one could not blame the “No Child Left Behind” act, but is the perfect example of when to blame teachers, coaches, and administrators for allowing this ridiculous feat to occur. It is instances like this one that turns “student athletes” into prima donnas and encourages “student athletes” to totally disregard academics to excel in their athletic ventures. It is instances like this one that facilitate a false sense of security that misleads an athlete to believe that he/she will be able to get away with the same stuff in college. It is in instances like this where  the students freedom to fail should be exercised completely.
