The LED video light Bi-Color by walimex pro is very well-suited for video recordings. Due to its flicker-free light characteristic, the panel light is ideal for high frame rates.\nThe LED video light Bi-Color by walimex pro is very well-suited for video recordings. Due to its flicker-free light characteristic, the panel light is ideal for high frame rates. Especially in the portrait and reportage fields, the video light proves itself. The color temperature of the LED can be adjusted steplessly from 3100 to 6800K; therefore it can be flexibly adjusted to various color temperatures, e.g. energy-saving lamps, fluorescent lights, or daylight. The light output can be adjusted steplessly as well with a maximum output of 120 Lux (at a cold color temperature) and 80 Lux (at a warm color temperature).\nA diffuser panel is included in delivery which ensures a softer light characteristic and therefore is ideal for the portrait and reportage fields. The diffuser panel is simply attached with magnets, which allows a quick attachment and detachment. As no elements are being worn down this way, the lifetime of the LED light and diffuser panel is considerably increased. The LED is mounted via a stationary accessory shoe with 1/4 inch thread. Additionally, a ball head with accessory shoe is available to you, which allows you to tilt the LED light and therefore determine the light direction even more precisely.\nThe LED light with its high quality plastic casing is ideal for mobile use as it is very lightweight. It can be powered with a battery or with the power cord directly. This is ideal when recording for longer periods of time, and it is also fully useable when the battery is dead or you forgot to bring the charger. For charging the battery, a charger is included, as well as a 12V car cable which allows you to charge the battery via the cigarette lighter in your car. For protecting your equipment, a padded transport bag is included.\nTip: Also order a spare battery. You can find it listed in the Accessories.
Microsoft announced on February 7 local time its data analysis service Azure SQL Data Warehouse (Azure SQL Data Warehouse) benchmark results. The results show that the performance of the Microsoft Azure SQL data warehouse (TPC-H benchmark) is 14 times higher than Google’s BigQuery and Amazon’s Redshift, but at the same time, its price is cheaper (testing against SQL data warehouse clusters, Microsoft is 94% cheaper than Google and 31% cheaper than Amazon. Last year, Amazon claimed that its Redshift service was twice as fast as the single-user Microsoft Azure SQL data warehouse and 1.6 times faster than the four concurrent users’ Microsoft Azure SQL data warehouse. Here, we are happy to see Microsoft surpassing its competitors. However, if Microsoft and Amazon can measure the performance of their solutions with a common set of benchmarks, that would be great. Because if there is no standard way to measure performance, the performance of Microsoft’s services with its competitors may be difficult to put together and objectively compare. The Azure cloud business is now one of Microsoft’s most important businesses. According to an IT home report on January 31 this year, Microsoft’s second-quarter earnings report for 2019 shows that Microsoft’s smart cloud service revenues reached $9.4 billion, an increase of 20% (21% at constant exchange rates). Server and cloud service revenues rose 24% (24% at constant exchange rates) and Azure Cloud revenue grew 76%. Corporate services revenue rose 6% (7% at constant exchange rates).

Hair loss is something you largely associate with men. However, these days female hair loss is common too and the effect it can have on your self-esteem and confidence is substantial.\nWhile some level of hair loss is completely natural, if you start noticing large clumps falling out or the hair strands becoming increasingly thinner, it can cause a lot of panic and concern.\nThe first port of call should be a doctor or dermatologist. Even if you think it might be in your head, it’s important to get it checked out as early as possible. So what happens if you are diagnosed with some form of hair loss? Below you’ll discover some of the best ways to deal with this devastating problem.\nThe main issue of female hair loss isn’t actually the hair loss itself – it’s the psychological effects that are most hard to deal with. This is especially true in the case of alopecia. Sufferers often feel intense shame, depression and anxiety and these issues really need to be addressed as well as the hair loss itself.\nIf you don’t want to talk to a professional, joining a support group would be a great idea. There are sadly many women who understand exactly what it’s like to lose their hair. Internet forums and local support groups are great sources of information, advice and support.\nThe main mistake many women make is to try to deal with the hair loss by themselves. It isn’t something many women feel comfortable talking about. However, getting support from friends and family is essential. Don’t be afraid to reach out and accept help where you can get it.\nOverall, the emotional issues that come with female hair loss are just as important, if not more important, than the physical symptoms. If you want to truly learn how to deal with the issues that come with it, then seeking professional help and getting as much support as you can from your loved ones is essential.

Ever since their discovery in 1959 by a group of local boys, the Nerja Caves have proven to be a source of fascination for tourists and geologists alike, propelling it to be the third most visited site in Spain. Around a third of the caverns already discovered are open to the public whilst the rest remain closed due to difficulty in their access or because of continuing scientific research.\nRecent discoveries may however mean that the caves are even more important than previously thought with analysis showing that some of the paintings found within may be up to 43,000 years and the work of Neanderthals instead of Homo sapiens as has previously been believed.\nThe Nerja caves are also home to the worlds largest stalagmite, measuring in at an impressive 32 meters (105ft) tall and 13 metres by 7 metres at its base.\nThe caves are well worth a visit and easily accessible, situated approximately five minutes from nerja by car, with good signposting so you won’t lose your way. Parking is readily available although if you prefer you can use the bus service direct from Nerja bus station.\nBuses run regularly throughout the day at a cost of approx one euro. You can check the bus timetable below.\nThe Nerja caves offer a number of different tours. A general tour will take you through areas known as the tourist galleries and lasts approximately 45 minutes. No prior booking is required and costs €8.50 for adults or €4.50 for the under 12's.\nFor the more adventurous there is a 'Caving Adventure Visit' which gives access to less accessible areas of the cave system. You will be accompanied by trained and knowledgeable guides to ensure the safety of the group and give information about the caves throughout the visit. Maximum group size is up to ten people and prior booking is required. This tour is available from October through to May. This tour costs €90.50 per person.\nIf you speak Spanish you also have the option of one of the Nerja Caves educational visits which are held from the 15th January until the 15th June. This will include a trip to the history museum as well as the caves however you can customize your visit as you wish. Be aware that these visits are aimed at groups and not individuals.

Glass experts from Corning, academia, funding agencies, and other facets of the industry meet and discuss the future direction of glass science around the globe.\nWhen it comes to the future of the glass industry, Corning looks to its knowledge of its past, its current workforce, and its external partners to help drive the industry’s current momentum forward. And as a result, the company recently hosted the second Glass Summit in Corning, NY – which is an interdisciplinary event that combines insights from designers, futurists, scientists, and technologists to inspire new thinking about emerging applications for glass. It is a chance for glass experts from Corning, academia, funding agencies, and other facets of the industry to meet and discuss the future direction of glass science around the globe.\nThis year’s Summit provided the nearly 200 attendees with a variety of information on glass in the fields of healthcare, virtual and augmented reality, as well as optical fiber and specialty glass applications. There was also a big focus on the importance of product design and engineering – and not just in consumer-facing applications.\nCorning hosted the first Glass Summit in 2014 and since then, several key initiatives were established as a result including the Fulcher Sabbatical Program at Corning as well as the Glass Age Scholar Program.\n“These programs have worked really well because they will continue to serve as bridge builders among the various parts of the global glass community,” said John Mauro, senior research manager, Glass Research.\nThe next Glass Summit is scheduled tentatively for 2018. Additional details on the event will be available as the date gets closer.\nA first-year Ph.D. student in the Physics of Amorphous and Inorganic Solids Laboratory at UCLA, Wang was selected as the 2015-2016 Glass Age Scholar for her academic research proposal, which spanned multiple areas of interest to the glass science industry.
Hi, all. Been meaning to post a bit about this find for a few months now - lord knows there's more where that came from - and am pleased to have a few spare minutes to spend on it. Having been a fan of Dead Moon for a few years, and Pierced Arrows since catching them on Valentine's Day 2008 with Black Lips (oh, lordy, what a nice time for a hyperlink), it was a treat to discover another project by Fred and Toody Cole, a one-off called Range Rats that appeared to last only for one album's worth of material, and which preceded Dead Moon.\nRecorded in 1986, the Range Rats' only record is a low-budget home recording by the couple out of Clackamas, in that vague genre of cowpunk that doesn't seem to get made much anymore (see: Gun Club, Lone Justice, Blood on the Saddle). In fact, it's ridiculously simple: Fred, Toody, and a drum machine. And given such, the record gets a bit repetitive in its faux-nostalgic formula for the old west. It's unlikely that they could have kept this formula up for long, so it's quite lucky that Dead Moon formed shortly after the experiment. But its faux nostalgia found a natural jumping point in Fred's previous band, the Western Front, and it's got some hokey but fun chugga-chugga-choo-choo-style novelty to boast.\nFred Cole's turning 63 later this year, which pegs him at around 38 for the Range Rats recording; while most musicians hit their highest worth in their earliest years and are sorting out day jobs by the time their late 30s roll around, Cole hadn't even begun his time in the bands that would find him at his best known, not to mention that he hadn't yet recorded his best work. This Range Rats record is likely a novelty find strictly for fans of Dead Moon and Pierced Arrows (as might be the case with other, earlier bands of his, like the Lollipop Shoppe), but it's a cheery little adventure that fills a half hour nicely.\nSweet lord, miracles done gone happened!\nCould it be true? The Gris Gris, playing live with King Khan?!
torn blankets and bedding can be deadly. last night lola was burrowing around under the covers before i came to bed. unbeknownest to me, the ribbon edging on the fleece blanket was loose in one small place. lola has gotten her head thru the small hole and then twisted it tight…she was on the road to strangling herself…the tighter it got, the more she twisted it trying to get free.\nso linen/bedding safety issue alert…tear away any loose ribbons or edgings or strings/threads on linens that may come into contact with animals (or small kids) ..and toss away any beddings found with actual holes cuz they just ain’t worth the risks of some poor innocent getting them wrapped tightly around their necks.\nlola is fine…i got bit twice freeing her because panic was starting to set in.\nwe have lots of sheets and blankets around here….lets keep an eye out and watch for linens that could hurt them and either remove the loose bits or toss them out if they have holes.\nand for folks donating linens and beddings to shelters, please make sure they are clean, appropriate and safe…when i sorted thru the donations last time…3/4’s was sent to the dump…that is extra cost and work for us. the thought behind the donations was nice but the reality was, most of it simply wasn’t appropriate or safe enough for animals use….ie…dogs and cats really can’t use pink fuzzy bathrobes, faded threadbare table clothes, sheets/blankets/towels with holes or some really scary “what the heck was that?” looking stains, or granny’s favorite sweater with just some buttons missing either.\nsorry lola…i never even thought of the ice cream sandwich post traumatic treatment for you…my bad.\nyes its in the acute care strategy for treatable negative FEELINGS such as panic, fear, and general upsetness (I made that word up).\nmmmmm I think I will have an ice cream sandwich when I am stressed.

We all want to love, be loved, get married and have our own home. A percentage of people don’t have the opportunity to enjoy their love or worse can’t be with their loved ones. People with disabilities are mainly affected by the earlier stated problem.\nTechnically, they are allowed to marry, but what is on the line is what they are not ready to sacrifice. Am talking about basic needs such as food, medication, without these needs, they are pretty much helpless.\nMarriage affects their SSDI, it is deemed to be the spouse responsibility. If you consider the amount of work the spouse will have to do to ensure his or her spouse is catered for, is next to impossible. How will he or she be able to go work and earn for their daily needs as well as be there to cater for his or her spouse needs?\nThese leaves the person with no choice but to not marry. In case you decide to do the ‘come we stay’ marriage, if detected you still lose your benefits from the SSDI.\nIf you decide to face the challenges and get married. It is wise to call on the advocates and assess the participant’s income and see if it is worth losing your SSDI for marriage. The advocate can search for another solution like look for a supplement policy or be insured by the spouse work.\nAlso one has to be careful with the gifts offered in the wedding. If it is tangible objects, it does not affect the SSDI but if it comes in cash, it will be counted as income hence affect the SSDI benefits.\n10 % end up getting married even after the challenges they faces, but this does not mean the tide is calm. Divorce becomes a major challenge even after all the hardships they have faced together. As many know, the divorce is never easy and it’s definitely harder for the disabled people. The disabled spouse may receive less settlement which will be less to cater for his or her need. In case they had a child the disabled spouse will have to pay for the child support or even the alimony from the SSDI. It is good before divorce to meet with a marriage counsellor and help you solve the marriage problems. Also meet up with your legal counsellor to guide you to ensure you get a fair settlement.\nA research was done by the American Community in 2009 and they discovered that 13.6% of the 1.04 million disabled men were divorced. 12.4 of the 1.2 million disabled female population are divorced. Most of them, their main cause is usually on the disability issue, which is very sad.\nIncome and marriage is a major thing that people with disabilities are deprived. It is hard to get a job to ensure you are self-sustainable. In case you get a job, you may lose your SSDI. The job may have low salary that cannot sustain your needs, hence leaving you to be unemployed.\nIs it fair for one to live alone yet it is not their choice?
When people think of care and treatment for mental illnesses, often times the more severe disorders such as depression or schizophrenia come to mind, and other lower-level chronic disorders get overlooked. The truth is there are several other mental illnesses that affect and impact a person's quality of life and misinformation associated with them often makes it difficult for patients to navigate the world of insurance coverage for their illnesses.\nAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It most commonly affects children and adolescents, but can persist into adulthood.\n"This disorder is considered a global learning disability - as opposed to a specific learning disability in reading or math - because it affects children's ability to learn and successfully function in multiple areas," said board certified neuropsychologist Karen Postal.\nA Time health article addressed the myth of ADHD being "just another childhood behavior problem" and the need to recognize it as "a chronic serious health problem that deserves a lot more attention than it has received."\nAbout 40% of children with ADHD have other disorders occurring as well, Postal said, which include specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia, mood disorders like anxiety, and behavioral disorders. This makes it difficult to diagnose ADHD. Often, ADHD is correctly diagnosed, but the co-occurring disorder is missed.\n"Treatment for just the ADHD is therefore not effective in solving the child's academic and daily problems," she said. "Many other times, ADHD is mistaken for one of the other disorders. As an example, a child with a primary anxiety disorder might be restless, inattentive, and unable to complete tasks - not because they have ADHD - but because they are very anxious."\nInsurance industries will typically cover a diagnostic evaluation, which consists of a doctor talking to the child and parents. The parents and the child's teachers will also fill out symptom checklists. However, Postal said this clinical interview based diagnosis often misses the mark because many insurance companies won't allow access to neuropsychological testing of cognitive function, mood, and other specific learning disabilities when the concern presented is attention problems.\nThe lack of clear knowledge often leads to ineffective treatment for those with ADHD.\nAutism is the most debilitating in a group of disorders called Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). It is a complex developmental disorder of brain function in which sufferers have difficulties with communication, social skills, connecting interpersonally, and getting stuck in routines. Symptoms are usually recognized in children between two and six years of age, but because symptoms vary, children displaying any of the symptoms should receive further evaluation. Comprehensive assessment is critical to planning treatment, so it's imperative to get an accurate diagnosis and early identification of autism.\n"Individuals on the autistic spectrum might have intellectual or other cognitive limitations, mood disorders, or attention problems that complicate treatment," Postal said. "Understanding that a child has high intellect but profound problems understanding language will allow therapists to interact with them in a useful way. Many states require insurance companies to fund neuropsychological assessment for autistic individuals. This ensures that treatment plans are targeted to the child or adult's specific set of difficulties."\nWith the difficulty patients often have of receiving diagnosis and treating mental illnesses such as ADHD and autism, getting the proper insurance coverage can often seem like a nightmare.\nThough some states require insurers to provide coverage for the treatment of autism, there are arguments as to who should be responsible for the care of autistic patients - some say parents, others say the school system.\nThough Utah has the highest prevalence of autism in the nation, it's one of the states that does not require insurance to cover treatment for autism.\nBut lawmakers are looking to change that. Recently a bill was introduced that mandates autism spectrum disorder be included in the state insurance code. This will require health benefit plans to cover up to $50,000 annually for children with autism who are younger than nine and up to $25,000 for children ages nine to 18 for treatment of the condition.\nUnfortunately, laws themselves don't always solve the problem, as is the case in New Jersey, where gaps in existing laws have prevented children from receiving expensive autism therapy. Family members cited different reasons: problems finding providers, a lack of widely accepted medical billing codes, and struggles dealing with insurers.\nRead Your Policy. It's important to become familiar with your insurance policy and determine what mental health benefits are included - inpatient and outpatient care, serious or non-serious diagnoses, etc.\nLearn the laws in your state. Contact local mental health associations and ask about your state's parity laws in regards to mental health.\nProvide written documentation, when necessary. For example, ADHD may vary in severity. If a patient has an extreme case, they may need to show written documentation to validate required services.\nEating disorders are some of the most challenging and misunderstood types of mental illnesses. Common misconceptions of eating disorders are that they only affect women; they're a choice, not a disease; and that a person must be severely underweight or skinny to have one.\nEating disorders are classified by symptoms with the most common types being anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and those that do not meet the same criteria, which are diagnosed as EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified). Binge-eating disorder is an example of an EDNOS.\nAccording to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, diagnosis of eating disorders are made by trained professionals based on symptoms. However, eating disorders are often underdiagnosed, which can delay necessary treatment and sufferers often receive inadequate insurance coverage for treatment.\n"Eating disorders are the most deadly of all mental illness. The death rate from anorexia is higher than any other diagnosis," said Jessica Setnick of the International Federation of Eating Disorder Dietitians. "Physical symptoms are the most common killer - cardiac arrest or other heart complications - and suicide is the second most common reason for death. That is why eating disorders must be treated with both medical care and mental health care."\nBeginning in 2014, mental health and substance abuse services must be included in the essential benefits package covered by all new health plans, but mental health parity provisions do not require coverage for all mental illnesses. This means that health plans may be able to decide whether or not to cover eating disorders.\nThough some states require private insurers to cover eating disorders on the same basis as other mental health policies, the majority of states do not have this requirement.\n"The way insurance companies are set up is a huge barrier. In most companies, the mental health benefits are administered by a totally different company - someone your carrier has contracted with," Setnick said.\nFor example, a patient may have insurance with Blue Cross Blue Shield, but mental health care coverage through United Behavioral Health. The patient may not realize this until he or she tries to access benefits, which can really complicate things in the case of eating disorders.\nThen it's the back and forth. The medical side sees the diagnosis of the eating disorder and sends the claim to the behavioral side, which only covers psychiatrists, counselors and psychiatric nurse practitioners so they don't know what to do with a claim for seeing a dietician.\nDon't be deterred by being told you have X number of visits. Even if patients are told they have three covered visits with a dietician or counselor - which is not going to be adequate 99% of the time - they should make an appointment anyway. After three visits, the professional team, including the doctor, can get the payer's permission for more covered visits on a case-by-case basis based on the patient's progress and continued needs for care.\nConsider "ad-hoc" coverage. When looking at in-network providers, be sure to check credentials. If none of the doctors, dieticians, or counselors are specialists in eating disorders, patients should tell their insurance providers they want "ad hoc" coverage for specialists. This means finding eating disorder specialists in the area and telling the insurance company to cover the out-of-network provider at in-network rates with the in-network deductible because there are no in-network specialists available within the patient's network.\nKeep records of everything. Patients should take note of everything they're told over the phone, especially if it is contradictory to information they were told previously. If any problems arise later, the notes will be very valuable.\nGet benefits personnel involved, if necessary. If the insurance company is impossible to communicate with, the patient should call the Human Resources department at his or her job. The person in charge of the benefits department can reach out to the insurance company on behalf of the patient - because he or she may have more clout. It doesn't cost the patient anything to have an advocate within the company and all of the patient's information is subject to confidentiality.\nPersistence is key when attempting to get the proper coverage for mental illnesses that are often misunderstood. Patients and their families will help themselves by staying educated on current laws and policies and remaining cool, calm, and collected when dealing with insurance claims.
Political turmoil has swept across the Arab world. This column argues that the movement towards more open and representative societies could create the conditions for a big push toward greater trade integration within the region – and the rest of the world. A good place to start would be to complete the Pan-Arab Free Trade Agreement.\nOn 19 January 2011, the second Arab Economic, Social, and Development Summit that was held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. It took place against the backdrop of an Arab world in turmoil that keeps losing ground in the globalised world economy. The Summit made no major leaps forward on trade integration; but the novelty was that it came at a time when widespread popular protests in many Arab countries began to surface, focusing on the lack of civil and political liberties, the lack of economic opportunities—including high unemployment – and rampant corruption. The protests turned into political upheavals.\nAlthough countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have made progress in recent years in exploiting comparative advantage, the share of the MENA region in total world exports of non-oil goods has remained under 1% for more than 30 years, and despite doubling its services exports, MENA’s share in total services trade has also stagnated at around 2.8% during 1990-2006 (World Bank 2010). These outcomes reveal serious competitiveness issues and suggest that the region has missed opportunities to integrate into the world economy, increase growth, and create new productive jobs (World Economic Forum 2005).\nYet, with the emergence of formidable global competitors such as China, India, and Brazil, a more open Arab world may have an historical opportunity to tap new poles of growth through greater regional and global integration. A new, fast-evolving multi-polar world economy is emerging, in which some developing countries are becoming economic powers and others are moving towards becoming additional poles of growth (Zoellick 2010). MENA’s productivity is comparable to that of many middle-income countries of Latin America and surpasses that of Sub-Saharan Africa. However, a comparison with high growth East Asian countries and other emerging countries shows large gaps in total factor and labour productivity.\nToday's historical circumstances present an opportunity for the Arab world to make a big push toward greater regional and global integration. Until now, the region has suffered from discretionary and arbitrary implementation of policies, and from lack of government credibility to really change a deeply rooted status quo of privileges and unequal treatment of investors (World Bank 2009). While the current political turmoil in the Arab region could end up further entrenching those privileges or creating new ones, it could also create the conditions for more open, non-discriminatory, and rule-based economies. In this scenario, the Arab world could start reaping the full benefits of global and regional integration.\nstrengthening the institutional rules and discipline applicable to regional trade and other policies of common interest (Chauffour 2011).\nCompleting the free movement of goods within PAFTA, notably through the elimination of unnecessary non-tariff measures (NTMs), and integrating better the region into global supply chains and production networks would create the conditions for the emergence of the “Arab factory”. A concerted effort to streamline all unnecessary NTMs in PAFTA countries will remove one of the major remaining bottlenecks to intra-regional trade in goods.\nThis would involve reviewing the substance of existing NTMs, streamlining them using methodologies experimented in other regional agreements around the world, including a guillotine approach when appropriate, and establishing regulatory impact assessments to improve the process through which new NTMs are created.\nTo facilitate the integration of the region into global supply chains and production networks, countries in the region could unilaterally reduce their most favoured nation (MFN) tariffs, especially tariff peaks, to the level of the most competitive regions of the world (e.g., East Asia). Such unilateral liberalisation has proven to be a successful strategy in a number of emerging economies that are now sustainable growth poles (Figure 1).\nSource: World Bank and UNCTAD staff estimates.\nLiberalising services trade within PAFTA and beyond is the next low-hanging fruit to boost regional integration, due in particular to the positive spillover effects of more open services trade on trade in goods (Figure 2). The Arab world should embark on a concrete plan to freeing services trade among Arab countries and beyond. This plan would involve developing a regional strategy for trade in services integration, establishing forums (or “services knowledge platforms”) to address knowledge gaps and facilitate the political economy of reform, conducting regional Regulatory Services Audits, and negotiating a pan-Arab agreement in services (Hoekman and Mattoo 2011).\ninformation and communication, in order to enhance the competitive potentials of technology enterprises, develop legislative frameworks related to this sector, and encourage the private sector to attract investment.\nA meaningful and credible pan-Arab free trade area requires that regional trade and other policies of common interest be subject to clear, non-discriminatory and transparent binding rules and discipline. A major institutional overhaul to strengthen the rules and discipline applicable to PAFTA and other regional institutions would provide additional credibility to the regional integration plans. This would involve strengthening or agreeing on a new set of basic principles for the governance of PAFTA, including prohibitions of NTMs unless they fulfil a set of basics principles, such as non-discrimination and necessity, effective national treatment provisions in services trade, and effective framework to guarantee the free movement of labour within the region.\nAn approach would be to strengthen the mandate of the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States to monitor the implementation of members’ liberalisation commitments, including the dismantlement of NTMs and the liberalisation of services. Regardless of the approach, regular monitoring of implementation commitments is important for policymakers to be able to assess the effects of the agreement. This would also involve creating a permanent and independent dispute settlement mechanism to oversee enforcement, including measures to ensure compliance.\nFurther integrating Arab countries among themselves and opening up the region to the rest of the world are two complementary avenues to gradually close the region’s productivity gap. In improving market access for exporters, promoting behind-the-border regulatory reforms, facilitating cooperation on regional public goods (e.g., infrastructure), and creating the conditions for the emergence of an “Arab factory” through regional supply chains and productions networks, regional trade agreements are a powerful tool for transformational changes (Chauffour and Maur 2010). Deeper regional integration could help address some key economic challenges that face the region, such as economic diversification and creating jobs for an expanding workforce.\nTo be sure, nowhere in the world is regional integration a painless and easy process. And the Arab world is no exception. Everywhere it requires leadership, resolution, and patience, including with temporary reversals. Above all, each regional integration process is unique in its historical and political context (Akhtar 2009).\nThe lack of trade integration of the Arab world is as much a cause as a consequence of the region’s economic difficulties. Low trade integration could be the result of poor production complementarities and other exogenous factors. Indeed, a number of Arab countries have similar resource endowments, production capabilities, and export structure. They may find it difficult to use regional integration as a means to establish patterns of specialisation and diversification. The lack of intra-regional trade is also policy driven. As recently analysed, public sector governance and participation, accountability and transparency, and rents and privileges remain key impediments to private sector development in the region (World Bank 2009). The very same causes also impede the region’s capacity to export. Without improved rule of law, participation, and governance, trading across borders is difficult and trade cannot sustainably flourish. In turn, the lack of integration and exposure to new technologies, innovation, and ideas hamper more rapid progress in the region and help explain many economic and social shortcomings: poor resources utilisation, insufficient human capital, gender inequality, high unemployment, oversized governments, unfavourable investment climate, limited foreign investment, and eventually lacklustre private sector performance.\nAkhtar, S (2009), “Economic Integration in the Arab World”, MNA Knowledge and Learning, Fast Brief Number 36, October.\nBorchert, I, B Gootiiz, and A Mattoo (2010), “Restrictions on Services Trade and FDI in Developing Countries”, World Bank, mimeo.\nChauffour J-P (2011), “Trade Integration as a Way Forward for the Arab World: A Regional Agenda”, World Bank Policy Research Working Paper 5581.\nChauffour J-P, and J-C Maur (2010), “Beyond Market Access: The New Normal of Preferential Trade Agreements”, World Bank Policy Research Working Paper 5454.\nHoekman, B and A Mattoo (2011), “Services Trade Liberalization and Regulatory Reform: Re-Invigorating International Cooperation”, World Bank Policy Research Working Paper 5517.\nWorld Bank (2009), From Privilege to Competition: Unlocking Private-Led Growth, MENA development Report.\nWorld Bank (2010), MENA Regional Economic Update: Recovering from the Crisis.\nZoellick, R (2010), “The End of the Third World?

TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy presented his Fiscal Year 2020 (FY2020) budget – a plan to put New Jersey on a responsible path forward through over $1.1 billion in sustainable savings and support for our middle class through targeted investments in NJ TRANSIT, school funding, social services, and property tax relief.\nThe budget includes appropriations totaling $38.6 billion, with a projected surplus of $1.16 billion and projected savings of $1.1 billion.\nGovernor Murphy’s budget identifies over $1.1 billion in real and sustainable savings, including nearly $800 million in public employee health benefit cost savings and over $200 million in departmental savings.\nThe Governor’s budget contains roughly $800 million in real and lasting savings in the delivery of public employee health care benefits in the coming fiscal year – a 16 percent year-over-year decrease from the current budget. These savings will be achieved through ongoing collaboration with our partners in labor, and protect their health care at significantly reduced costs for all taxpayers.\nThrough the work of the Cabinet, the Administration has identified another $200 million in departmental savings and efficiencies that will be applied to the budget.\nGovernor Murphy’s budget includes a $1.16 billion surplus, a significant increase from the average $419 million surplus under the previous administration.\nThe budget reduces one-shot revenues to just 1.7 percent of the total budget, a reduction of $400 million from the current budget and half of the average of 3.4 percent under the previous administration.\nThe proposed budget will return over $130 million to the Clean Energy and Affordable Housing Trust funds, which will increase fiscal transparency and allow these funds to support the critical purposes for which they were designed.\nGovernor Murphy will put nearly $3.8 billion, including Lottery revenue contributions, toward pensions, which is an 18 percent increase over last year’s contribution and the largest payment in state history.\nThe Governor’s budget includes an additional $100 million in General Fund support for NJ TRANSIT, for a total subsidy of $407.5 million. Of this, $75 million will replace diversions from other sources and $25 million represents new direct funding. In addition, NJ TRANSIT will not raise commuter fares in FY2020.\nThe Governor’s budget maintains the commitment to our kids and our public schools – starting with an additional $206 million to continue our ramp-up to full K-to-12 formula funding, and $68 million to not only maintain, but to further expand, pre-K. The budget also proposes $2 million to continue the “Computer Science for All” initiative.\nThe Governor’s budget proposes growing the Community College Opportunity Grant program by an additional $33.5 million, allowing a total of 18,000 qualified students to attend community college tuition-free in the 2019-2020 academic year. The Governor’s budget also includes $20 million in new funds to pilot a new funding formula for public four-year institutions that rewards student completion and support for traditionally underserved populations. The budget further includes $5 million more for Tuition Aid Grants, and an additional $2.25 million to support the Educational Opportunity Fund, which is in its 50th year of supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds.\nAs New Jersey looks toward a new economic reality, the Governor plans to transition New Jersey away from inefficient tax credits to smarter, focused, and capped programs targeting high-growth and high-wage sectors and fostering our state’s start-up culture.\nThe Governor’s budget continues support for his New Jersey Apprenticeship Network, which seeks to make New Jersey a national leader for apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs.\nThe Governor’s budget proposes returning over $70 million to the Clean Energy Fund. With the new offshore wind tax credit and the Board of Public Utilities’ unprecedented offshore wind solicitation, New Jersey is poised to lead this sector while fighting climate change.\nGovernor Murphy’s budget seeks to ensure tax fairness for middle-class New Jersey families hit the hardest under the Trump administration’s tax reforms. The Murphy administration will fight back against unfair federal tax policies and ask the wealthy to pay their fair share, so all New Jerseyans can share in future prosperity.\nThe budget includes nearly $283 million in funding for Homestead Benefits, which will be used to lower property tax bills for hundreds of thousands of New Jersey homeowners.\nThe Governor proposes applying the millionaire’s tax enacted in FY 2019 to all millionaires. This expansion, which will impact more non-New Jersey residents than in-state residents, will allow greater investment in programs, including property tax relief, for the middle class.\nThe budget increases the Earned Income Tax Credit for the second year of a three year phase-in, providing an additional $30.2 million to match 39 percent of the federal benefit.\nThe budget proposes a Corporate Responsibility Fee of $150 per employee for large employers with more than 50 employees relying on Medicaid for health care. This fee will incentivize employers to provide benefits, and ensure that everyone pays their fair share for the Medicaid coverage that taxpayers support.\nThe Murphy administration is committed to building communities, protecting the most vulnerable, and ensuring that all segments of New Jersey’s richly diverse populations share in the State’s prosperity. Between a renewed focus on environmental preservation, revitalizing urban centers, tackling homelessness, and fighting back against the scourge of the opioid epidemic, the Governor’s budget helps secure a more prosperous future for New Jersey families and communities.\nThe Governor will again commit $100 million to continue combatting our opioid epidemic through carefully designed programs and thoughtful, data-driven analysis to put resources where they are most needed. The Governor also proposes increasing fees on opioid drug distributors and manufacturers to support our fight against the opioid epidemic.\nThe budget will maintain support for women’s health and family planning to continue the progress made in 2018, when restored funding saw the expansion of service hours to meet the needs of more than 10,000 additional patients and the filling of 40 critical staffing roles. Through this investment, more than 80,000 STD tests were provided free-of-charge, and more women gained access to long acting birth control.\nThe Governor’s budget proposes fully eliminating diversions from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund and better addressing our state’s housing crisis by restoring the $59 million that had been diverted last year. A newly created Office of Homelessness Initiatives in the Department of Community Affairs will also serve as an interdepartmental hub to implement policies to prevent homelessness and expand access to housing options.\nThe Governor’s budget proposes criminal justice system reforms, including the legalization of adult-use cannabis, and new initiatives to preserve open space and protect our environment.\nThe Governor has 110 days to work with the Legislature and enact the budget, per constitutional deadline.\nClick here to read the full Fiscal Year 2020 Budget in Brief.
#Do not modify this file manually.\n[error] [/etc/nsswitch.conf] is not a symbolic link!\n[error] [/etc/nsswitch.conf] was not created by authselect!\nCurrent configuration is not valid. It was probably modified outside authselect.\nThe file nsswitch.conf has not been changed since I installed the system, so I'm sure it's Fedora's default (it also has the same head warning as the PAM config files and the same date of creation). So it looks like Fedora itself pays no heed to the warning not to modify those files manually.\nwhat is the proper way to modify PAM config files?\nam I supposed to use authselect?\nmay I change the config files manually?\nIf someone has a better way to make an encrypted home directory, I would appreciate to learn about it.\nSo currently I've decided to disregard the authselect warning and just edit PAM config manually (I might need to make the same changes after a system upgrade).\nHi~!! See the related article for fedora System.\nYou may want to run authselect if you want to use ldap or Windows Active Directory instead of or in addition to using /etc/passwd for logging in. For a single user system you normally don't need to run it.\nIt is correct that some packages modifies /etc/nsswitch.conf on initial installation; they have just not gotten around to make this compatible with authselect and also compatible when authselect is not used -- or not even installed.\nModifying the pam configuration with your favourite editor is certainly possible, but if something goes wrong when doing so, it can be difficult to get help fixing it.\nAs for setting up encrypted file system, this is normally done during initial installation using LUKS. This could be a subject for a new question you may want to ask.\nthank you for the suggestion to disable authselect. This can be considered an appropriate answer in my situation. As for the encrypted directory and pam_exec I found that cryptsetup and pam_exec are a bit buggy working with each other, at least I gave up on attempts to make pam_exec use cryptsetup. Instead I resorted to the crypttab/fstab files. It won't work on a system with several users, since each of them will be required to know passwords for each mounted encrypted volume, but on a system with a single user it's an acceptable temporary approach.
September 11, 2015 by Ecommerce News. About Laws and regulations with tags Ukraine. 6475 views.\nUkraine is finally opening up to the online retail business. The parliament and the Central Bank have recently adopted measures to facilitate online transactions. As a direct result Ukrainians can now use the popular payment service PayPal.\nThe two authorities have worked to liberalize and regulate ecommerce, Radio France Internationale writes. With regards to PayPal, previously it wasn’t possible for Ukrainians to fully use PayPal because of certain regulations and administrative barriers. They could purchase products on online platforms and pay them using PayPal, but they weren’t able to use this payment service as vendors, because it was prohibited for them to receive payments on their bank accounts.\nAnd if that’s the case, it’s not hard to imagine ecommerce in Ukraine wasn’t able to develop to its optimum potential. But as RFI writes, the central bank and the Ukrainian parliament have recently worked together to liberalize and regulate ecommerce. A new law should give transactions made online the same status as paper contracts. The concepts of electronic bills or signatures are also introduced in the law, in order to facilitate transactions.\nEcommerce in Ukraine is estimated to be worth 2.7 billion euros, according to easybusiness.in.ua. The industry consists of about a hundred companies and several thousand employees, while 10% of Ukrainian internet users make use of online stores. But with 43% the internet penetration rate is still quite low in Ukraine. It’s no surprise ecommerce represents only 2% of total retail sales. But with these recent changes, it’s expected that the ecommerce volume will increase rapidly and will grow from 2.7 to 7 billion euros by 2018.

It wasn’t that long ago that I felt encouraged about the activity surrounding our drug policy. That is not to say I agreed with every aspect of policy, in fact there are many facets that I strongly disagree with, but at least the opioid epidemic found its way to the foreground and something was being done about it. A lot of my enthusiasm stemmed from the actions of a little agency in the White House that not many people have heard about, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), or its impact. It’s one of those smaller agencies that doesn’t get talked about that much but has had an over-sized influence on our drug policy and how it’s carried out – that is until now.\nby the Senate before taking the helm. The office was intentionally placed under the executive branch so that its policies would carry the full weight of the president. It quickly became the center piece of then President Ronald Reagan’s war on drugs.\nAmong its responsibilities, the agency serves as a coordinating body for the nation’s drug control effort by overseeing international and domestic anti-drug efforts of executive branch agencies. The programs that the agency developed contributed heavily to the modernized public health and safety initiatives. The ONDCP has always had the unique ability to plan, elevate, and execute the vision of the president’s drug policy.\nLike past presidents, the current administration has pledged to fight the opioid crisis and drug addiction in America, making it a priority for this administration. However, congressmen from both sides of the isle have said that the efforts are not enough.\nThe devil is always in the details. From early on, this administration’s solution to the opioid epidemic has been firmly based in law enforcement and little else. In fact, the ONDCP was nearly obliterated this time last year by proposed budget cuts. Dissenting congressman and senators from both parties saved the agency but many speculate that they will not be able to replicate their success in the coming years.\nThe ONDCP was thought to be on the chopping block when the administration proposed slashing the agency’s budget by 95 percent in 2017. This would have effectively pulled the teeth out of the agency’s ability to reduce drug use and its consequences, and end the two grant programs to law enforcement and drug-free community programs that help fund cities hardest hit by this avoidable epidemic. However, preliminary indications are that the ONDCP will be funded for at least another year.\nBut there’s more than one way to defang a government agency that could cause a thorn in your side, such as replacing leadership with someone more amenable and loyal to one’s objectives. Richard Baum has served as interim director of ONDCP – ‘Drug Czar’ – for over a year. He has worked in the agency for two decades – through four presidential administrations – and is considered a valuable expert on addiction and its treatment by his peers. The last permanent director was Michael Botticelli (March 2014 to January 2017) whose bold actions in combating addiction convinced many experts to believe he had been the most consequential director in ONDCP history.\nBaum’s replacement, if approved by the senate, will be deputy White House chief of staff Jim Carroll. Before joining the administration just a few months ago, Carroll was Washington counsel to the Ford Motor Company. As far as his health credentials are concerned the White House said that after law school, Carroll spent five years as the assistant commonwealth attorney for Fairfax, Virginia; where the majority of the cases were drug-related and he worked directly with those affected by drug abuse.\nCarroll was not the administrations first choice to run the ONDCP. That distinction belongs to Rep. Tom Marino (R-Pa.) – another politician with no medical, health or addiction treatment background. Marino has a history of advocacy for legislation friendly to opioid manufacturers; but after a joint Washington Post/60 Minutes investigation which named him the chief advocate of a bill that critics say made it harder for the DEA to freeze suspicious drug shipments, he withdrew from consideration. Marino tried to clear his name and defend his record by claiming the bill he championed was different from the one ultimately signed into law.\nThe ONDCP was once the pride of President Reagan. It has served as the vision of five president’s drug policy for twenty-nine years, and one year for the current president. In the last twelve months the ONDCP has been reduced to a shell of its former prestigious self with neither the talent nor authority to influence our drug policy and/or how it’s carried out.\nBut equally concerning are reports from reputable new organizations regarding White House counselor and former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway’s work at the administration’s opioid abuse policy. It has been reported that Conway and other political types with no relevant health, medical and/or addiction experience – including the 32-year-old son of Rudy Giuliani, Andrew, who the White House says has no background in drug policy – have taken control of drug policy and have quietly ‘frozen out’ drug policy experts and professionals – such as Rich Baum – of the decision-making process. In fact, Baum has not been invited to, or attended, Conway’s meetings. According to a report from Politico ‘Two political appointees from Baum’s office, neither of whom are drug policy experts, attend on the office’s behalf, alongside officials from across the federal government, from HHS to Defense.’ Former ONDCP officials say that Conway’s drug policy office is taking a leading role in addressing the crisis.\nNow layer all of this over the Department of Justice’s new policy on sentencing guided by the vision of the Attorney General of the United States, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions; the former Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, Attorney General of Alabama and a four term senator from Alabama.\nSessions has never shied away from his position of strict adherence to the letter of the law and his belief in harsh punishments. As Alabama’s Attorney General, Sessions strongly supported state legislation seeking to punish a second drug trafficking conviction, including dealing marijuana, with a mandatory minimum death sentence. In 2005 as a senator, Sessions was one of nine Senators who scuttled a Senate amendment to a House bill that prohibited cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment or punishment of individuals in the custody or under the physical control of the United States Government; and in 2015 opposed and defeated the bipartisan bill ‘Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act,’ which sought to reduce mandatory minimum sentences for some nonviolent crimes.\nBut what I find most concerning is the solution Sessions believes will curtail doctors from prescribing opioid painkillers. According to Graham Media Group/ClickOrlando.com, Sessions stated that, “the DEA will now ask medical practitioners when they apply or renew their license to indicate whether they have received training on prescribing opioids.” That, he hopes, will prevent doctors from overprescribing addictive drugs.\nOn December 22, 2017, Sessions rescinded guidelines intended to warn local courts against imposing excessive fines and fees on poor defendants.\nIn October 2017 and again in January 2018, the President of the United States of America declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency. However, if you think that means that he has put the best and brightest minds in the county to work in eradicating this epidemic, you are sorely off the mark. Instead, the President has placed political loyalists with little to no health, medical and/or addiction experience in positions of authority to determine drug policy and the best course of action to end this raging epidemic, and in doing so, usurping the opinions, positions and policies of seasoned and experienced addiction experts. What could possibly go wrong?!\n64,000 Americans died avoidable deaths in 2016 at the hands of prescription and illicit drugs – 175 lives a day – and more than 600,000 Americans died from drug overdoses between 2000 and 2016. Everyone personally knows someone afflicted by this disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under 50. The human cost of this epidemic – the loss of American lives – is staggering and this is the best this administration can do?!\nMy only advice to anyone addicted, anyone who has a loved one who is addicted or is relapsing chronically- is to find treatment right away. The handwriting is on the wall – the time and opportunity to get treatment is never going to be any better than it is right now.

The cooperative path planning problem seeks to determine a path for a group of robots which form temporary teams to perform tasks that require multiple robots. The multi-scale effects of simultaneously coordinating many robots distributed across the workspace while also tightly coordinating robots in cooperative teams increases the difficulty of planning. This paper describes a new approach to cooperative path planning called Constraint Manifold Subsearch (CMS). CMS builds upon M*, a high performance multirobot path planning algorithm, by modifying the search space to restrict teams of robots performing a task to the constraint manifold of the task. CMS can find optimal solutions to the cooperative path planning problem, or near optimal solutions to problems involving large numbers of robots.

Cape Town - The ripple effects from South Africa's weak economic position will reduce your disposable income in 2016, says an actuarial expert.\nPublic Policy Actuary at the Actuarial Society of South Africa (ASSA) Niel Fourie says several sectors are facing retrenchments as part of cost cutting initiatives "which will result in job losses".\n"Times are tough for South Africa and the road ahead is rocky. With pockets already stretched it is vital that you take immediate control of your financial situation to avoid falling into hardship," says Fourie.\n"Having a budget is therefore always the first and most important step you take in managing your finances," he says. "In difficult times, putting off making a budget is like trying to find a safe path through the wilderness blindfolded. You need to rip off the blindfold, take in your surroundings and then choose your next steps."\n"Likewise, making a list of your income and expenses will provide you with an honest picture of your financial situation so that you can begin making realistic decisions regarding the financial survival of your household."\n"Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has reassured the nation that he will improve South Africa’s economic situation by helping government stick to a firm budget and not spend money the country does not have. As consumers, we must learn from this and do the same."\n"If ever there was a good time to strictly question every expenditure it is now. Before spending money in 2016, ask yourself whether you really need something or whether it is a want?"\nTowards the end of 2015, the South African Reserve Bank (Sarb) raised the interest rate by 0.25%. As a result the banks' prime lending rate increased to 9.75% and debt has become more expensive. Economists anticipate a further increase this year.\n"This is known as the debt avalanche. Short-term debt such as credit cards, clothing accounts and vehicles will likely top this list, while long-term debt such as bonds will come later," notes Fourie.\n"You should therefore prioritise increasing your debt repayments first, especially as debt will become even more expensive this year if interest rates increase as expected," he states. "And any amounts you can spare in your budget can make a huge difference to your debt repayments."\n"The reality is that you are unlikely to earn returns on bank deposits and investments that exceed the interest rates charged by your debt accounts."\nFourie states that in order to avoid falling off the path of financial discipline, you should set out clear long-term goals to keep in your mind's eye as you make decisions throughout the year.\n"Putting goals in place such as saving towards a child's education, a home or retirement will help you stay focussed and prevent you from being tempted off your path by unnecessary spending," he says.\n"You will also then be able to look into specific investment products that are best suited to you and what you need for your individual financial journey."\n"You will be more tempted to indulge with money you can easily access in your bank account rather than if you put the money immediately out of sight and out of mind," he states.\n"Falling into a debt trap is often the result of a series of poor decisions over time, and in tricky economic times you will be the most vulnerable to making financial mistakes. Consulting a financial adviser will help you stay on track," he says.\n"The year ahead may be difficult, but if you keep tight control of your budget, communicate openly with your family and stay focussed, you can all look forward to a brighter financial future together."

Susan Abeles joined Phillips in February 2018 as Head of Jewelry for the Americas and Senior International Specialist. In her role, she has been responsible for designing and implementing a strategy for Phillips’ jewelry business in the Americas, one of the fastest-growing categories in the auction world. She has also been responsible for building a team in New York, working with new and existing clients on consignment opportunities, and creating cross-marketing opportunities within Phillips. Ms. Abeles is also committed to promoting new voices in jewelry – recently with the selling exhibition of jeweled works by Lauren Adriana. More than the exhibition, Phillips provided a platform for discussion on collectible jewelry as works of art.\nMs. Abeles has worked in the jewelry industry for over 30 years. During her career, clients have included Bulgari, Cartier, Musee of Decorative Arts, Harry Winston, Neiman Marcus, Saks, and Van Cleef & Arpels.\nAfter graduating from university, with a focus on behavior and chemistry, Susan took her first job with William Doyle Galleries, Inc. starting in the bookkeeping department. She quickly moved to the Appraisal and Consignment Departments, where she learned about furniture and silver, before moving into the Jewelry Department. After fifteen years at Doyle’s, Christie’s offered Susan a job to run one of their New York Jewelry Departments, where she severed for seven and half years, before leaving to work for a small family owned business, Siegelson, to accommodate her young family needs. After ten years working with Lee Siegelson, the international premier jeweler, Ms. Abeles moved back into the world of auction with Bonhams, where she worked as the Head of Jewelry in the Americas for seven and half years, before coming to Phillips to help relaunch their American Jewelry Department.\nSusan Abeles grew up in a family that had interest in modern design and 20th century American art. She has lectured, written, and appeared on television during the last thirty years. She is also a licensed auctioneer and has worked for important families such as the Rockefellers, as well as sold property for Gloria Swanson, Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, and Jackie Collins.\nSince 2011, Amanda Womack has worked with Replacements, Ltd. connecting clients with the objects they yearn for. She travels the U.S, visiting shows and dealers, hand-selecting Estate Jewelry for sale in their showroom and on their website. She is an alumni of Guilford College, with a degree in Forensic Biology and Photography. While attending graduate courses at the Bryan School of Business, she studied the economics of secondary and recycled/scrap markets. She is currently studying at The Gemological Institute of America for her certification to become a Graduate Gemologist. She is a knitter, sauerkraut-monger and collector of all types of weird stuff.\nSotheby’s describes Christopher Walling as “undoubtedly one of the most exciting jewelry designers on the scene today.” His work has been featured in two PBS documentaries; the Nova program, “Mystique of the Pearl” and the Nature special “Diamonds.” Mr. Walling’s stunning designs have significantly influenced modern jewelry, especially in the first major use since the Renaissance of unusually shaped and rare baroque pearls, aside from Arthur King – as well as in his palette of solid colors. His creations have adorned such notables in society and the arts as the Maya Angelou, the Lily Auchincloss, Linda Gray, Brook Hayward, Jasper Johns, Alex Katz, Queen Noor of Jordan, the late and great Parisian hostess Sao Schlumberger, Danielle Steele, Renee Taylor, Elizabeth Taylor and Kathleen Turner. Mr. Walling uses every variety of gem in his work – often in shades with which we have not associated them, previously – if not also of gems themselves which have not even been mined before.\nDescended from a notable line of activists, public servants and philanthropists, Christopher Walling is, in addition to his jewelry designing talents, “an erudite and thoroughly charming raconteur who leaves audiences enthralled.” Christopher has exhibited in museums from across America (in Honolulu alone more than a dozen times!) and private art-foundations in Istanbul (twice). His work is included in more than fifteen books about jewels and he has had a spectacular Abalone pearl named after him which was exhibited at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. in the same gallery as the Hope Diamond. The American Museum Natural History (New York City) included numerous pieces by him in three of their exhibits (“Pearls!” “Diamonds!” and “Gold!”) which traveled around the world for up to six years. he has also lectured at Sotheby’s – among other venues. He did not go to art school but studied political science AND started making jewelry when he was eight years old.\nBill Drucker of Drucker Antiques is the recognized authority of Georg Jensen silver jewelry, flatware and hollowware. Drucker Antiques was founded by Janet Drucker, the author of Georg Jensen: A Tradition of Splendid Silver.\nAn authority in Danish Silver, 20th Century Studio Jewelry and Arts & Crafts Period jewelry, William Drucker is also an experienced professional faculty member and lecturer. Bill has served as a faculty member for “The Annual Antique and Period Jewelry and Gemstone Conference” lecturing in Georg Jensen and 20th Century Studio Jewelers. Janet and Bill have given lectures for special events at the Georg Jensen store and are often invited to lecture for various antique shows and modern design events.\nDrucker Antiques are qualified appraisers offering full appraisal services. Drucker Antiques is a member of the Appraisers Association of America and The Palm Beach Appraisers Association. All appraisals are USPAP compliant.\nSarah Davis is a jewelry historian, author, and editor for the American Society of Jewelry Historians. She was editor and a co-author of Jeweled Splendors of the Art Deco Era: The Prince and Princess Sadruddin Aga Khan Collection and author of Anna Hu: Symphony of Jewels, Opus 2. She is the Director of Communications for Siegelson, a 100-year-old New York gallery presenting the top examples of twentieth-century jewelry.\nAt Siegelson, Sarah has handled some of the most important and beautiful jewelry available anywhere in the world and she has worked with museums looking to acquire important pieces—including The Cincinnati Art Museum, Newark Museum, The Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. By researching art and jewelry, placing it in an art historical context, and occasionally confirming important provenance, Sarah shows the importance of great jewelry throughout history. She also handles all press and social media for Siegelson.\nSarah has a degree in Magazine Journalism from Syracuse University and a minor in Architectural History. She was an editor for illustrated books on art and design topics at The Vendome Press before focussing on jewelry. She has worked on great jewelry books including The Jeweled Garden, Seaman Schepps: A Century of New York Jewelry Design, and Raymond Yard.\nNeil Marrs seeks out the bold color combinations and clean lines of collectible jewels by pivotal 20th Century designers such as Verdura, David Webb, Seaman Schepps and Schlumberger.\nActive in the international jewelry trade now for 24 years, the majority of that time as a private dealer specializing in signed fine jewelry, his key interest is in the history of 20th Century society and the glamorous jewels of lost eras. He’s fascinated by vintage advertisements, period photographs, and oral history which document jewelry’s place in time and how it was worn. Not surprisingly, he works closely with company archivists, museums and jewelry historians to identify iconic pieces and their provenance.\nNeil grew up in Marblehead Massachusetts, has a BS degree in Chemistry from Georgetown University and an MA degree in East Asian Studies from Harvard. In 1989 he completed the Sotheby’s Works of Art course in London. After years of travel, work for Christie’s auction house in New York and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he found his way to the world of fine jewelry.\nJewelry relates directly to wealth, power and status–which leads to some exciting tales–but it also reveals personal history–which makes it intimate. It’s meant to be worn rather than hidden away.\nNeil’s entertaining and informative talks relate to fashion and lifestyle as much as they reference history.\nCurrent obsessions: dramatic examples of 60s and 70s jewels by Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari and Sterlé.\nKatherine Ward, G.G., is a jewelry nerd with a BA in Art History from Syracuse University. She has had the privilege of looking at shiny things in a number of capacities at The RealReal, Christie’s, Tiffany & Co., the Library of the Uffizi Gallery and the Silverworks Museum at the Pitti Palace, Florence. Ethical and sustainable jewelry represents a life long focus in addition to jewelry history.\nWard draws significant influence from the reverse anthropology method proposed by Dr Jennifer Roberts. Studying jewelry as artifact allows for an examination of the technology, politics and values of the people who produced it. Also, it tends to be sparkly.

Seriously, does anything epitomize the sheer exhilaration of top-down driving like weekend jaunts through the countryside in a two-seater sports car? This 1974 MG MGB Convertible is ready and willing to give you that unique brand of excitement. And as any sports car buff will tell you, owning an MG is much more than an experience; it's a lifestyle all its own.\nYou'll be drawn to this little red roadster at first glance as its brilliant finish takes you by the hand and pulls you closer. It's a nice driver-quality paint job that shows well enough to grab you and not let go. And much to its credit, this classic has successfully retained its factory look. This is one of the earlier 1974 models, so it has the chrome bumpers that make it highly-coveted among collectors. By the end of '74, those bumpers had been replaced by black plastic units, forever solidifying the chrome bumper legacy in terms of value, style and prestige. And speaking of chrome, all of the trim is present and looks really well for a car that has provided more than four decades of driving pleasure. You'll even find a chrome luggage rack on the deck lid to give it a bit of a continental flair. The black vinyl convertible top is in great condition. It fits very snug and the manual operating mechanism works just fine, thank you. So you don't have to worry that putting the top up and down will be an all day job. What a relief!\nBack in the day, MG engineers had a real talent for maximizing interior space. Obviously, the MGB isn't as roomy as a limousine, but the way the entire inside envelopes the driver makes for a very cozy driving environment. For example, the space between the three-spoke steering wheel and the gearshift is close enough to keep total control well within your grasp. And from the seats to the door panels to the dash pad, the beautiful black vinyl upholstery shows well and is still soft and pliable. Of course, Smiths gauges are a mainstay in Great Britain on everything from sports cars to farm tractors. You'll find full instrumentation on this dash, with a large speedometer and tach, complemented by smaller gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, fuel, etc. This is one of those unique machines that came from the factory without a radio. But with a car this exciting, who needs music? The soft purr of the engine is as compelling as any Top 40 tune!\nThe stock 1.8L in line four cylinder is an excellent power source for this roadster. It's a responsive little motor with plenty of pep. This one is paired up with a four speed manual transmission, which is the hot ticket for allowing it to reach its full potential. You'll be impressed with the performance of this combination, not to mention the fuel economy and reliability. As you survey the engine compartment, you'll find everything tidy and in its place, pretty much just like it was when it left the factory in Abingdon, England. Rust under the hood is a common concern with these cars, but you won't find any major issues with this car, as it's spent most of its life in the warm south. Likewise, you'll find the chassis and suspension to be well-preserved and showing no excessive wear. A nice set of 175/65R14 tires on stock rims allow this MGB to maintain its good solid posture.\nIt rides well. It handles well. The power train is awesome. This is British workmanship at its finest. They really know how to build them across the pond! This 1974 MG MGB Convertible really puts the fun back into driving. See what we mean about MG ownership being a lifestyle? Don't you deserve that? Call today!
In the spirit of syrup, chocolate is a welcome treat before, during and after love making. Whether you opt for the almond-covered variety or just plain old milk chocolate, placing a piece in your mouth and gliding it down her warm body will definitely make the night sweeter and more interesting.\nThe cliché of all love making foods, whipped cream still serves up some great fun. Whip some into her mouth and watch her lick it all up. Or place some on her body and lick it all off slowly.\nCherries, strawberries, and red or green grapes are great add-ons to any love making and fun, but you can also incorporate more complex fruit like papaya, mango, grapefruits, and oranges. All the fruit should be washed, and besides the cherries, the rest should be prepared accordingly.\nStart your love life at a new point this Winter with Kamagra (pills and jellies which ensures men go longer, stay stronger and enjoy a healthy love life at any age) at www.exact-pharma.com using 5% discount code LM5M.\nWhat could be more romantic than making love on a sheepskin rug in front of a roaring fire? It's just so 007! If you haven't got a roaring fire or a sheepskin rug, pile up loads of blankets and throws close to a radiator, dim the lights, light lots of candles and whack on a romantic playlist and you'll feel like a Bond girl in no time.\nWhen your flat’s so cold you can hardly bear to expose a limb without fear of getting frost-bite, it’s hardly condusive to a morning romp so grit your teeth and head straight for the shower. Let things get steamy in there as you take turns to wash each other all over. Then turn to face the wall as though you’re about to be frisked and let him work his magic.\nThere’s nothing like a slow, sensual massage with a warming oil to get the heat penetrating throughout your body. …not to mention the build-up of excitement as his hands get closer to those erogenous Zones. Take turns to give each other a full body massage, taking care to heat up the oil between your palms before you start.\nGive his manhood a warming treat by experimenting with temperatures in your mouth before you venture south. For instance, take a swig of hot peppermint tea then wrap your mouth around him for a deep, warm tingling sensation. Sucking an extra-strong mint will have a similar effect but warn him first as it can be quite a shock if he's not expecting it.\nGift your partner double the love and pleasure this Winter with Kamagra (pills and jellies which ensures men go longer, stay stronger and enjoy a healthy love life at any age) at www.exact-pharma.com using 5% discount code LM5M.\nYou wake up with a pressing matter in your back and while you want to respond you can hardly bear to tear yourself away from the warm, cosy foetal position you’re in.

11/22/63 is a historical fiction novel that focuses on Jake Epping, the man who travels back in time to stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy. His friend, Al, the owner of a diner notorious for cheap hamburgers, reveals an invisible staircase to Jake that will take him back to the year 1958. Al had been planning to travel in time to stop Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination of John F. Kennedy, but has found himself in ill health. He instead asks Jake to go in his place. When Jake finds himself in the past, he not only attempts to stop the assassination, but other very unfortunate events as well. As Jake makes his way through the past, he soon discovers that the past does not like to be tampered with. He must navigate the past with caution, in an attempt to keep his secret hidden and to avoid upsetting the future.\nAlthough the title refers strictly to the date of Kennedy’s assassination, the book is about so much more. Jake attempts to be somewhat of a guardian angel to people who he knows will end up suffering in the future. He moves around the country to stop unfortunate events before traveling to Texas. When he finally makes his way to Texas, he begins to work as a teacher in Jodie, a town not too far from Dallas. He makes friends and falls in love with the very likeable Sadie. As the date of the assassination draws closer, his focus then turns to Lee Harvey Oswald and Jake realizes that he might have to risk everything to achieve his ultimate goal. It is very apparent that King did a lot of research into the Kennedy assassination and he presents a lot of interesting information throughout the novel.\nThe book has a very authentic feel to it and I felt immersed in the era of the late 1950s-60s. I absolutely loved the picture that King was able to paint, from the dreary town of Derry to the small town of Jodie. Since the book was a long one, King had the ability to add an immense amount of detail to really bring the story to life. I think that the characters were portrayed perfectly and they all seemed to fit the era. The “rules” of time travel also made sense and every time that Jake went through the wormhole, the past would reset. He was also warned of the effects of changing the past too drastically and everything about King’s concept of time travel seemed to work well.\nThe only thing that I didn’t really like about this book was the ending. Jake comes back from living in the past and the future is completely post-apocalyptic. Due to the ripple effects of his time travel, horrible things occurred while he was gone and history drastically changed. He then travels back in time to reset what he has done, pretty much invalidating everything that he accomplished throughout the book. I feel like it was a bit of a let down, especially since he was attempting to improve the past for over 800 pages.\nBesides the ending, I really enjoyed this book. I think that the characters were interesting and I really liked reading about Jake’s journey through time. I like the concept of time travel and King’s addition of the Card Man really added something different. The whole novel seemed to flow well, I just wish the ending would have been different.\nIf you have read 11/22/63, I would love to hear your thoughts as well.

Agreeing on a business valuation method for a buyout requires negotiation.\nStructuring a buyout of a partner in a general partnership is much easier if you prepare for the possibility of an ownership change at the start of your business endeavor. Reaching an agreement regarding what the business is worth can be contentious when you try to do it after the issue comes up, especially if the exiting partner has what the remaining partners feel is an inflated notion of the present value of the company.\nBuying out a partner is a negotiated process. A majority of the partners can't simply set any price they want for the withdrawing partner's interest. Likewise, the exiting partner can't just demand what he feels is his due. Partnerships are governed by the laws of the state where the partnership conducts business; by default, most states require general partnerships to buy out a withdrawing partner at a fair amount that represents what his share of the proceeds would be if the partnership business were to be liquidated or sold. Of course, figuring out the liquidation or sale value of the company is the problematic matter, because the only real way to know those amounts for sure is to actually liquidate or sell the company on the open market.\nSavvy business owners prepare for the eventual withdrawal of a partner by placing buy-sell provisions in the partnership agreement. These provisions specify what will happen if a partner wants to withdraw and under which circumstances the partnership can demand a partner sell her interest back to the company. Properly drafted buy-sell provisions will include a way to value the business. For example, the partnership agreement can require that a business valuation be conducted once a year, so when a valuation is needed for a buyout, there's a valuation history that ensures the buyout offer is fair. It can also require the partnership to hire an independent expert to value the company.\nEstablishing a value for a business is an inexact science. You can value the business by considering the value of its assets, taking into account what it would cost to replace everything that the partnership owns. You can consider the amount of cash the company brings in and project that amount into the future to establish value. Looking at the sales price of comparable businesses that were sold in the same geographic area recently is yet another valuation strategy. You're free to use one or a combination of these methods or to come up with your own buyout price based on other criteria.\nIf your partners can't agree on a business valuation to support a buyout package, you have options to break the stalemate. The buy-sell provisions of a partnership agreement can mandate arbitration to handle the buyout negotiations. Or the partners can take the issue to court, and the judge will decide the value of the business and a fair buyout amount.\nMasters, Terry. "How to Value the Buyout of a Business Partner."

Warren won the WBA bantamweight title from Juan Carlos Payano in a rematch of their first fight before losing that title to Zhanat Zhakiyanov in a close and disputed loss.\nAs an amateur, he also fought Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux who returned to action this January with a first-round knockout of Giovanni Delgado.

If you want hot water in your home, then you’re going to need a water heater. This one essential appliance will immediately heat your home’s water supply and then distribute it through your plumbing network. One easy way to get all the hot water that you need is to install one of the best tankless water heaters.\n2 How Long Does a Tankless Water Heater Last?\n3 What Size Unit Do I Need?\n4 How Much to Install a Tankless Water Heater?\n5 When Should I Get an Electric Tankless Water Heater?\n6 Should I Purchase a Gas Tankless Water Heater?\n9 How Much is a Tankless Water Heater?\nTankless water heaters are one of the best investments a homeowner can make to avoid storing and constantly heating water to a specific temperature. It reduces a flooding risk because it eliminates the tank altogether. These are the top-rated models that are proven to get the job done.\nTankless units are generally rated to last for up to 20 years. Some models may be rated to last 25-35 years. This means a tankless heater will last 2 or 3 times longer than the standard tank-style model.\nTankless models usually come with a longer warranty as well. Manufacturers like Noritz offer a 10-year warranty on their models. Some warranties extend to 15 years. You also have an option to purchase an extended warranty at the time of purchase that will cover virtually anything that could go wrong with the equipment for up to 3 years after purchase.\nThe cost of maintenance must also be considered when looking at the longevity of the tankless design. Most tankless models rarely need to be serviced over the lifetime of the equipment. A standard tank-based unit will have mineral scale build-up on the inside of the tank, requiring it to be cleaned every year or two.\nOver 75% of tank-based designs fail because a tank bursts or a leak develops. This means rusty water will cover everything that is in the room. If you have a finished basement, that’s bad news. Installing one of the best tankless water heaters will help to eliminate that potentially costly threat with one simple appliance upgrade.\nIf you’re trying to determine the size of the tankless unit that you need, then it is important to calculate the average gallons per minute (GPM) that your household will use. You will also want to know what your peak flow output rate will be so that your new heater will be able to handle your demands.\nTo do this, you’ll need to consider all your water-consuming appliances. You have faucets in the kitchen and in your bathrooms. You might have a dishwasher. Maybe you have a washing machine in the laundry room. Here are the typical flow rates to expect from each fixture or appliance.\nBathroom Faucets: Up to 1.5 GPM.\nKitchen Faucets: Up to 7.0 GPM.\nShower: Up to 2.5 GPM.\nDishwasher: Up to 2.5 GPM.\nWashing Machine: Up to 3.0 GPM.\nIf you have the dishwasher on, the washing machine on, and the shower on all at the same time, then you’d want a unit that could handle up to 8.0 gallons per minute.\nThen you’ll want to determine how much you’ll need to heat the water. This is done by calculating the difference between your groundwater temperature and your desired hot water temperature, which is usually 120F.\nLet’s use Seattle, WA as an example to determine the heating calculation. The EPA estimates that groundwater temperatures in Seattle are 52F. To create the correct hot water temperature, it would be necessary for the heater to create a 68F change.\nIt is simple subtraction: 120F – 52F = 68F.\nNow you’re ready to go shopping. Just use the flow rate from you GPM estimates and the temperature rise data as calculated in the example below to find a unit that meets your needs. That way you can have hot water you need whenever you want to have it.\nMuch of the cost that comes with a tankless water heater is due to a higher installation cost. Labor rates vary throughout the United States, with an installation cost of about $1,450 coming from the Midwest to a high of nearly $3,000 along the East and West Coast. Averaging all estimates from all regions, most homeowners should expect a tankless unit installation to cost about $2,000.\nIf you have a storage tank model already and it needs to be removed, then you can add another $300-$700 to the final cost.\nMuch of the cost is due to the requirement of adding ventilation access to the unit. If you already have a site with ventilation access available, then you can potentially cut the installation costs quoted above in half.\nWhen Should I Get an Electric Tankless Water Heater?\nElectric models are a good option for homes that are in urban centers, have a large-scale generator that provides backup power, or if usage of the appliance is expected to be part-time. If you live by yourself or with a partner and only use a minimal amount of hot water every day, then this is the route to go for you.\nIf you do not have a backup generator, then it is important to remember that your hot water heater will not operate during a power outage. If you have an extended outage, then it would be difficult to access any water from your home’s plumbing systems.\nIt also depends on what utilities are serviced at your property. If there isn’t a gas line available to you, then the cost of having one installed could potentially double your final costs. Go with the electric model instead, even if you don’t have a backup generator, to avoid this unnecessary expense.\nShould I Purchase a Gas Tankless Water Heater?\nIf you have calculated your GPM to be above 5, then you should be considering a gas powered model. Natural gas heaters provide more heat and will cost less to operate compared to electric models. Unless you have multiple showers, appliances, or faucets running simultaneously, you should never run out of hot water.\nThere is also the added benefit of not requiring electricity to operate. This allows you to have access to hot water, even if the power goes out. Some tankless designs do require an electrical connection to operate, but are powered by gas – this design would not offer this specific benefit.\nOne model that should be considered is an outdoor tankless propane-fueled design. Propane often costs less than natural gas and is much cheaper than electrical models. A homeowner can save up to $25 per month and up to $4,000 over the lifespan of the unit by going with propane.\nTankless units are much smaller than the traditional models that often hold between 50-100 gallons of water. They are also very eco-friendly compared to the traditional design, which can save you money each month while expanding your hot water access. Here are the key differences that you’ll want to consider if you’re deciding between a tank or a tankless design today.\n#1. Tankless models require a larger up-front investment. You can pay up to 3 times more for a tankless model at current pricing levels. There may also be higher installation costs if you are converting from a tank to a tankless design. You can make up the pricing difference through cost savings over 12-24 months in many cases, but the initial investment is still going to be greater.\n#2. Tankless units hang on the wall. You’ll have a lot more floor space in your garage, shop, or utility room with a tankless unit. Most models hang on the wall and do not require insulation or spacing to operate.\n#3. Tankless water heaters do not run out of hot water… usually. With a traditional hot water heater, you know about how long of a shower you can take before the water turns cold. A tankless unit is designed to not run out of hot water, so you can stay in the shower even longer. Only when there are periods of heavy usage will a tankless design offer cooler water.\n#4. Tankless designs require ventilation. You’ll need to ventilate a new tankless water heater for it to operate correctly, which a traditional model does not always need, especially if it is an electrically-powered model. This will limit the number of installation points you have in your home, unless you’re willing to run install a ventilation pipe or duct.\n#5. Tankless water heaters reduce energy consumption. How much can you save by using a tankless model over a traditional model? For homes using a water heater that is 10+ years old, the savings could be over 50%. The average homeowner will save about 30% on the amount of energy they consume to heat water.\nThere is one down side to using a tankless model vs. a tank model. Many homeowners rely on their hot water heater as an emergency source of water should they be cut off from services. A tankless design offers no on-site storage, so this resource would disappear.\nTankless models use up to 50% less energy than a tank-based model. The average family of 4 can save about $116 each year by upgrading to a tankless model.\nTankless designs typically use a high-powered burner to heat water on-demand. This means they require a special dedicated and sealed vent system to operate. Most communities require this to be performed by a licensed and bonded contractor due to coding requirements. Natural gas burners need a larger-diameter pipe as well, and this all adds to the initial installation cost.\nMost hot water heaters provide about 50 gallons of heated water to use at any given time. Some models may offer 80-100 gallons. Extenders could add 5-10 gallons on top of this. Tankless units remove this limitation.\nMany of the smaller tankless units that are available today will only provide enough hot water for a single faucet, shower, or appliance. If you run the kitchen faucet while someone is taking a shower, neither one of you will get hot water. It will be lukewarm at best.\nMany tank-based units are rated for about 10 years of life. Most warranties will only cover 4-6 years. Tankless water heaters can last for 20+ years, have a warranty that is more than 10 years, and requires very little maintenance over the life of the unit.\nUnits are priced on the flow rate they can provide and the temperature change they can produce. Entry-level models are typically priced in the $400 range, producing a 4.0 GPM and a 40- to 50-degree water temperature change. From there, expect to add an extra $100 for every 0.5 GPM and 3 degrees of temperature you need to produce the correct levels of hot water in your home.\nPremium tankless hot water heaters are priced above $1,000. Commercial-grade models can be priced above $2,000. These are typically for homes with large families or businesses that are looking for LEED certification.\nThis is an outdoor-use only model, but it does feature next-gen burner technologies so you still receive a highly efficient appliance. If all you need is a 35-degree shift in water temperature, then you can expect a GPM of 6.8. A 45-degree temperature increase results in a GPM rating reduction to 5.3. In colder climates that need 60+ degrees Fahrenheit of adjustment, the flow-rate can be sub-4.0. It has certain challenges that need to be met, but if your household can do so, then this is a solid buy.\nThe installation of this unit is a bit frustrating. Many homes will likely need to upgrade their natural gas piping to ¾-inch to accommodate this model. Once installed, achieving a 72F rise in temperature is a simple process without compromising the total GPM which can be achieved. Even with cold source water, it is possible to maintain a 5-6 GPM while heating water up to 120F – though this may be considered a commercial usage of the product for warranty purposes. We found this unit to be sturdy, well-made, and extremely dependable. It will work with PVC for exhaust venting.\nEcoSmart offers self-modulating technologies within their heaters, allowing the unit to adjust temperature ratings based on the source input that is being received. This model is so strong that it can provide a 3.5 GPM flow rate at 105F even when the incoming water is just 37F. You have the ability to set your temperature controls with this model as well, in 1-degree increments, so you will receive the right water temperature whenever it is needed. This could be the answer you need. It has earned our strongest recommendation.\nMany hot water heaters that are tankless and electric tend to operate on lower PSI levels. It’s not that unusual to see a rating between 80-120 PSI for models that are promoted as a whole-home option. The StiebelEltronTempra 24 offers users a working pressure of 150 PSI that remains very consistent. It does require a 2×50 minimum circuit breaker to be properly installed, pulling 208/240 volts. When properly installed, it can achieve a maximum temperature increase of 92F degrees when measured from a single faucet or fixture.\nThis model provides just enough support for continuous, but low-flow, hot water for various needs. You get an 11-inch water column that can be manually-controlled from a temperature standpoint for a 30F-35F temperature rise thanks to the maximum 37,500 BTU of support it receives. There is an automatic timer that will shut the unit off after 20 minutes to avoid using too much fuel and it can be wall-mounted in a home if desired quite easily. It weighs just 14 pounds. If you need a portable solution, this is an option that is worth considering.\nWe did notice that there was a small reduction in water pressure compared to tank-based models when using older high-flow faucets and fixtures. Homes that are still using older equipment may wish to upgrade their fixtures at the same time to take full advantage of what this unit can provide. Unlike some other makes and models, however, we found that this specific unit was surprisingly quiet. Even if you are pulling water at its full capacity, you can barely notice this heater is working when you’re in the same room. It definitely earns our recommendation.\nFor the average home, we see the GPM rating being more accurate in the 4-5 range. That’s still good enough for the needs of most families, especially if low-flow showerheads have been installed in the home. You won’t be able to run the dishwasher, the washing machine, and take a shower at the same time, but with some schedule management, it does get the job done. This means the square footage of the home matters less than personal usage of hot water. We found that this Takagi model works well for families of 4-5 people, perhaps 6 if a schedule has been highly organized.\nOutside of its ability to self-modulate, we really appreciated how this electric model puts control into the hands of the user. It offers a panel which gives users access to digital temperature controls. Instead of spinning a dial and hoping for the best, you have 1-degree precision over the temperature of your water at the faucet or fixture. It has also been designed with stainless steel and copper components, which promotes a greater efficiency for the unit during periods of long-term use. We found it to be a compact, efficient, and durable system thanks to these design benefits.\nThis infrared tankless electric water heater offers whole-home hot water supports. It features coil-less technology that features quartz, which minimizes corrosion and scale deposits that can occur. It is virtually maintenance free, providing up to a 60% improvement in energy efficiencies. It does require 220 volts at 60 amps in order to operate, so some homes may need to have an electrical installation before this model is installed. There are smaller models that feature 20-amp, 30-amp, or 40-amp setups as well, so every home has the potential to receive endless hot water.\nIf you have a large household that demands a lot of hot water, then a tankless model might seem like the wrong decision. It’s not when you have this premium water heater working for you. Although it is a large investment, it also provides up to 9.8 gallons of hot water per minute with a 0.96 energy factor. The amount of space that it requires is minimal and it works with PVC or Concentric venting, giving you more options than most. It also has condensing technologies that allow for drainage instead of gas control, which is useful for homes with limited venting space. It’s easily one of the best tankless water heaters available right now.\nThe best tankless water heater reviews will help you create an endless supply of hot water for your home. Once you get the source water temperature down and know what temperature of hot water you prefer, you’ll be able to find a water heater that can give you blissful showers and much more thanks to its consistent flow rates.

One of the greatest impact releases ever - freaked the hell out of me in the wild when the lights flashed super bright behind the glass on the feature!\nAmazing, loved this game in the wild, thanks so much for this.\nI used to play this loads in Nobles in Margate back in 1998, 1999 those were the days!\nThanks for this, a classic JPM from their best period IMO.\nSome places used to have 3 or 4 of these. I'd say I wish I knew about the numbering means ready to pay method, but then where I played, the sharks probably would have still left them on their arse, before I had a chance.\nI'd forgotten about the super bright lamps on these and other machines, until it was mentioned a week or so ago. Nice to see @Wizard implementing them into the emulator and the first layout to be updated have implement them.\nAh ok, as the youngsters say nowadays, my bad.\nI took your comment "The lamps really need to be masked properly for the effect to work", to mean that perhaps you hadn't considered it to be a full implementation of them for Big Banker.\nThat comment applied to the other layouts, I edited the lamps in Big Banker to suit.\nThe HTS Monopoly 60 DX layout you mentioed works pretty well as it is.\nThat's not to say I won't tinker with it in a future update, it was just a first pass implementation.\nLoving the bright lamps when you get the Roller Coaster feature on this.\nGot to ask, what were all the versions of this ?\nWas there ever a £15 / £25 rebuild ?\nI am sure I one saw a flyer or something indicating a larger stake - I am not talking about the current JPM one, just stuff from a few years ago.\n£8/10 & £15, there is a classic layout decalled to £15 but no dx yet!!!\nAnd there was talk of rarer £6 token ROMs whether it's true remains to be seen.\nAs for wizards input with super bright lamps, the partytime three player stand up.\nPlayer 3s yellow balloon on the top board flashes brighter than the other two, it gives a super bright flash when indicating it's going up.\nThe £6 is true because I played it on £6. Wasn't around for long though. as it quickly got upgraded to £8. The most I had on the £15 version was £75, on the Rollercoaster feature. I just stood there laughing as it was so unreal at the time.\nooh, I'm not sure it's meant to do that?\nYes it was definitely £6 tokens to start with, very much remember playing it at 20p/£6. It did indeed go all the way to £15 all cash via £8 tokens and £10 cash, all in the original Vogue cabs on IMPACT, not 'remakes' on later techs or anything like that. I can't think of a single other machine that had that many jackpot ROM revisions on the original hardware.\nThe £15 version was absolutely crackers, could go a LONG time without showing a 1/12, but when it did and if you caught it right, it could do a £90 or even £105 (which is insane really) - had it out in an arcade on Douglas prom a few times, but it could cost sometimes, even when it was numbering.\nI take it the original £6 ROMs for this have never surfaced? TBH it plays a very good game on £8 and £10 as well, but the £15 version is a different sous vide of onions.\nThank you for this great looking layout Tommy.
Canadian shipbuilder Seaspan Shipyards announced Tuesday it has awarded MAN Energy Solutions Canada of Vancouver, BC, a contract valued at $55 million ($41.2 million US) to provide propulsion and power generation components for Canada’s new Joint Support Ships (JSS).\nThe contract was announced today but was awarded and signed late last year, a Seaspan Shipyards spokesperson confirmed to MarineLink.\nMAN will provide two MAN 12V32/44CR (Common Rail) propulsion engines equipped with environmental protection SCR technology, reduction gears, propulsion shafts, propellers, ship service diesel generator sets and an emergency diesel generator set, the shipbuilder said.\nSeaspan held a steel cutting ceremony in June 2018 for the first of two JSS it plans to build for the Royal Canadian Navy. The new naval supply ships will deliver fuel and other supplies to vessels at sea in support of the Navy’s defense and humanitarian missions, and they’ll also offer medical/dental facilities and provide support for helicopter operations and equipment repair. Once completed, the 173-meter vessels will be among the largest ships ever constructed on Canada’s West Coast.\nWork on the MAN power an propulsion components will take place at the manufacturer’s established facilities in Europe. The integration for these systems, training, testing and support during the harbor acceptance trials and the sea acceptance trials will be performed in Canada.\n“Seaspan Shipyards is pleased to announce this major contract award for MAN Energy Solutions Canada to provide a crucial system for the Joint Support Ships. Contract awards like this mean that the women and men of the Royal Canadian Navy will benefit from state of the art systems aboard these new vessels,” said Mark Lamarre, Chief Executive Officer, Seaspan Shipyards.\nIn addition, as a result of this contract, MAN is investing in new facilities and creating jobs on Canada's Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The company has already invested in systems integrator Aspin Kemp and Associates (AKA) from Prince Edward Island, thus supporting the Government of Canada’s objective to reestablish and grow the Canadian maritime industry and provide access to world markets under the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS). MAN is also supporting education initiatives and has provided the British Columbia Institute of Technology with the largest training engine on the West Coast.\nMAN is one of several major systems integrators that Seaspan is working with in order to meet its commitments under the NSS. With its work under the NSS, which includes building ships for the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) and Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) in Canada, Seaspan has developed more than $850 million ($637.2 million US) in committed contracts with approximately 570 Canadian companies.

Our first visit here. Delicious coffee, and really delicious Chai Latte. The atmosphere is by far the best in Berlin. Amazing decor, and very very Cozy. Free WiFi, and open till midnight. Service is excellent too. Highly recommended, and would definitely visit again when in Berlin.\nVery delicious! Both the food and the coffee! It's a beautifully furnished small cafe inside with nice sitting possibilities outside. Had a cappuccino, which was mild and well made. The only thing is that the glass it came in looks fancy but is a bit unwieldy. The chicken avocado sandwich is so tasty, but a bit difficult do cut. Also, friendly staff! Well done ????\nOne of my favorite place to have a great delicious breakfast in Berlin. I also like the coffee they do. Last time I tried cold coffee with avocado and it was delightful. And one interesting fact: just after their coffee I’m becoming shaky in a good way:) p.s. They’re offering alcoholic cocktails as well so you can spend the whole day here easily.\nconfusing - at first we got a cold shoulder from both employees, they were "too busy", a woman on the cashier the the mam basically sour face going around back and forth either didn't hear it ignoring our questions. we figured ok we'll have our coffee and cake and go but when the woman at the counter finished her business she suddenly smiled and was very helpful and kind. oh well. it was cosy and nice until few more ppl arrived and then some basically stood between my frins and me (we were sitting, yes?). something went on there with reservation and not naough seats or smt but clearly the stage didn't care enough to sort things out. we paid at the counter (a new employee arrived) and left. great coffee, English speaking staff.

Looking for career that would help you shape the future of little minds? You might as well start your own daycare services.\nA good daycare provides rich experiences, especially for a child ready to interact with other children, aged two and beyond. Based on a study released in March, 2007 by the National Institute of Health on a group of children through early childhood to the sixth grade, those given a high quality of childcare scored higher in 5th grade vocabulary tests.\nA similar study in 2001 is indicative of benefits of daycare to children. Those who had high-quality care scored higher on tests of language, memory and other skills than did children of stay-at-home mothers or children in lower-quality daycare. Hence childcare services are crucial to child�s mental development. A solid foundation from a good daycare may ensure adequate early childhood education. From a parental perspective, good daycare complements good parenting.\nSome people make a decent living or supplement a spouse�s income by running a childcare service of their own. Most consider that it allows the more time to be with their children while and still be enables them to contribute to the family budget. If you are on the same thought, now is the time for you to start your own daycare services.\nYou have the option to go full-time on this career. Some earn as much as 3,000 dollars a month, and make a solid 40, 000 dollars annually. However, this all depends to a great degree, on starting your own daycare services right and putting all efforts towards providing the best care you could give to your charges. Loyal patronage starts from a solid reputation and giving it your best shot. These are thoughts for you to think over as you start your own daycare services.\nDaycare services is the best options to those people who have not times to care their child . thanks for sharing these info.
After 15 years of arduous negotiation, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 11th December 2001. This admission marked a significant step towards China’s integration into the global economy. Nearly eighteen years after the landmark deal, some Western analysts looking back at the decision to let China enter the WTO openly ask if this was a mistake.(1) This piece explores China’s narrative and the salient points of debate in China regarding the consequences for the country of joining the trade organization.\nThe Chinese metaphor for China’s admission into the World Trade Organization is "entering the world" (入世), reflecting the strategic importance of joining for China’s international position. Indeed, this was one of the historical decisions of the "reform and opening" policy. In a 2018 interview, Chen Fengying, researcher at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, describes China’s admission to the WTO as part of the broader narrative of "reform and opening". For her, the last 40 years of reform divide into four stages: from 1978 to 1991, 1991 to 2001, 2001 to 2018, and “after the 19th Congress”. The admission to the WTO appears as a milestone, a “symbol” and marks the "real beginning of fast-paced economic development, the genuine start of benefiting (利用) from the global economy."From that point onwards, she says, many companies started to "go out" (走出去), globalizing their operations through mergers and acquisitions, cooperation and greenfield investment. China’s admission to the WTO marked the beginning of a "golden decade" for Chinese growth and export-oriented economy. According to Chen Fengying, the 2016 G20 summit in Hangzhou marked the end of the third phase of the reform and opening and the beginning of the New Era, an era in which China is becoming a "contributor" (贡献者) to the world, in particular through the Belt and Road Initiative.\nChina’s admission to the WTO marked the beginning of a "golden decade" for Chinese growth and export-oriented economy.\nIf joining WTO has become a symbol of China’s global integration, it also triggered major debates in China during the 1990s regarding the costs and the benefits of globalization. The discussion was also sector-specific, with many asking "how to protect China’s own markets and industry, especially food and agriculture, or also automobile industry." Wei Jianjun, CEO of Great Wall Motors recalls that before joining the WTO, “everyone thought that the Chinese automotive industry would collapse, the pressure was really high, people were saying that "the wolves are coming" (狼来了).\nShi Guangsheng, then-minister of Foreign Trade an Economic Cooperation in charge of negotiating the WTO agreement, enumerates similar risk assessments in a 2018 interview. How could Chinese firms survive the opening of markets and foreign competition? The challenge faced by government was particularly severe. How was a state used to "control everything" going to refocus on "creating a positive economic environment and use appropriate measures to manage the market? [Also], when foreign companies will come to China, they’ll expect equal treatment, so how to protect the Chinese firms then?"\nOn balance, Shi Guangsheng explains what the perceived benefits of joining the WTO were. At the time, he says, political elites realized that "integrating the WTO was a requirement to build the socialist market economy, to expand economic opportunities and environment," and therefore, the benefits outweighed the cost. Retrospectively, he highlights the three key advantages of becoming a WTO member. First, the WTO simply helped the construction of the Chinese economy. Second, "since China has the conditions for economic development and participation in the global economy, [joining the WTO] opened our doors, and allowed us to use to our advantage (利用 - liyong) the world’s resources, information, capital, market". Finally, Shi Guangsheng defends that joining the WTO allowed China to participate in the elaboration of the rules of the organization, and make sure "that in writing up the rules, we can fully protect our own interests." Huo Jianguo, vice-president of the China Society for World Trade Organization Studies, further agrees with the former minister, and claims the facts show that all the positive effects [of joining the WTO] far surpassed the damage people were worrying about.\nWang Yu (王钰), professor at the Harbin University of Commerce, offers a more academic perspective on the effect of joining the WTO on the economy.(2) The main positive influence according to her is the sudden surge in foreign investment, which in turn "brought substantial amount of capital, advanced technologies, but also modern "thinking" and management experience." Such an abundance of labor force and investment made it easy for China to earn "large markets shares".(3) Chen Fengying further suggests that "the surge of foreign investment forced Chinese companies to reform and hence to be more competitive". Second positive outcome according to Wang Yu, it helped the “marketization” (市场化) of China’s economy. Moreover, economic governance had to be reformed and institutionalized (法制化).\nJoining WTO "helped enhance China’s international position" and according to Wang Yu, China moved from being a "rule-taker" to "gradually becoming a rule-maker".\nBut China’s WTO narrative would not be complete without addressing the issue of compliance, and how it is portrayed in China’s mainstream media discourse. Indeed, as Wang Yu pointed out, trade frictions with the US and other partners increased. Our sample of Chinese WTO articles shows striking similarity in the way the compliance question is tackled. In a word, China not only fulfilled most of its commitments, it also became a "contributor" to the world’s economy. For example, Li Wei, director of the Institute of America and Oceania Study under the Ministry of Commerce argues that "China actively put into practice the concepts of free trade, entirely fulfilled its commitment, in such ways that it brought important opportunities for global trade and made an important contribution to the world".\nThis semantic shift matters in Xi Jinping’s "new era" when China wants to edict its own rules and engage with the world on its own terms.\nThis is the standard discourse on China’s implementation of WTO commitment. Usually, this narrative is supported by a few figures, such as the lowering of tariffs from 15% in 2010 to 9,6% in 2018 ; or, as the deputy director of bureau of foreign trade of Institute of World Economics and Politics of the Chinese Academy of Social Science Su Qingyi explained, the PRC established a representation office in most of the WTO specialized departments to "serve commerce" (服务贸易), worked hard to provide legal guarantees for intellectual property. Moreover, Sun Qingyi reminds us that China paid more than 28 billion USD in IP rights to foreign companies.\nOf course, scholars agree that all commitments haven’t been respected. For example, Sun Qingyi agrees that in many sectors, such as research and development, mining, telecommunications, the markets are only partially opened. But in their opinion, what matters is that the work is already well advanced, and "on time" regarding its WTO commitment. When it comes to defending China’s work and contribution to the WTO and the world, it is striking that dozens of articles use the same figures (tariffs, global imports share) and examples to make their point, with sometimes entire articles being a simple list of "realizations."\nYet, "China is still targeted and some countries by some countries for not having fulfilled the agreements’ commitment, which is unfair." Indeed, according to Li Wei, "the anti-dumping measures taken by some countries are in contradiction to their own commitment to the WTO." This is especially interesting as the country tries to brand itself as a "contributor" (贡献者) to the world, and not only a promoter (推动者). This semantic shift matters in Xi Jinping’s "new era" when China wants to edict its own rules and engage with the world on its own terms. The trade war and increased confrontation with the United States fits into this narrative, as China tries to portray itself as a champion of free trade and multilateralism. If we look back at some articles from 2011, published to celebrate ten years of "entering the world", the narrative is similar with two major differences. First, the language is now much less assertive and self-assured. Of course, the "developed countries" are still blamed for setting the rules, but, and here comes the second difference: it is stressed that China needs to continue its reform. Indeed, in an article, Wang Xinkui, professor affiliated with the Shanghai University of International Business and Economics, defends China’s efforts to fulfill its commitments, but stresses the need to pursue reform, to pay attention to the sustainability of the country’s exports-based economic model, and the dangerous isolation of China when it comes to trade disputes.\nTo summarize, it makes no doubt that joining the WTO was a crucial historical decision, encapsulated by the abbreviation "entering the world" (入世). Joining the WTO is indeed portrayed as an historical landmark, which paved the way for China’s role as a "contributor" to world. However, the official narrative makes it clear that the transition period that started with China’s admission in the WTO has ended, and that a “new era” has started with Xi Jinping and his BRI, portrayed as a new step of China’s involvement in the global economy.\n(1) Philip Levy, "Was Letting China Into the WTO a Mistake?", Foreign Affairs, 2 April 2018.\n(4) Ibid, Zhang Huai Shui and Zhao Qiao, "Interview with Chen Fengying, Researcher at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations: after joining the WTO, building a new platform for global economic prosperity" (每经专访中国现代国际关系研究院原所长陈凤英：中国入世后为全球经济繁荣搭建新平台), Daily Economic News, 17 August 2018.\n(5) Ibid, Wang Yu, (三二一的产业结构) - referring to an economy in which the services sector is the most important, followed by the industrial one and finally agriculture.

Great to be doing my first blog post for Alpkit. I recently won the Mazda Blenheim Triathlon - the second biggest triathlon in the UK, after the London Triathlon. With 5500 competitors the competition has to be split over two days.\nThe event takes place in the lush grounds of Blenheim Palace home of the Duke of Marlborough, and what a nice home it is with a 6.5km bike lap (closed roads) in your back garden, a huge lake, and a 2.6 km run loop in your front garden. There aren’t many triathletes who would say “no” to a back garden like that.\nThe swim start, sometimes known as the “washing machine” because of all the flailing arms and legs, is critical. Stay out of trouble but not start to fast was the main aim. Found a nice rhythm and managed to pick off those who started too fast. 12.02 for the swim (a long 750m swim) was fair, and then followed by a charge up the hill to transition in the forecourt of the palace, and out on the bike. I felt quite good on the bike, and most of looked good as the motorbike with cameraman thought it was worth filming me. They caught me towards the end of the first lap and followed me for about 1-2 km… if only Alpkit made triathlon kit!\nNot quite sure how the pictures of my backside will come out on TV, and I certainly hope they edit out the shot of me blowing my nose!\nHad a solid bike just outside 32 minutes, and headed out on the run. Hot and hilly the run felt hard and slower than I would have liked. However my run split of 19.55 ranked highly, and overall time of 1:08:14… which ignoring the Elite race (which is held under different rules, so that the drafting on the bike is allowed and won by Stuart Hayes in 1:01) gave me first overall. A solid result and time to test myself over the Olympic distance….
Neighborhood: Downtown Sausalito & Ferry Pier. No rest rooms. Open year round. Free to everyone. Click here to return to the Sausalito Parks Index Page.\nViña del Mar Park is the best known and most photographed park in Sausalito. Located adjacent to the parking lot and arrivals area for the Ferry pier, it is so central to the layout of Sausalito that it’s almost inevitable you’ll walk or drive by!\nThe park is named for Viña del Mar, Chile, one of Sausalito’s Sister Cities.\nThe Sausalito Art Festival is staffed by volunteers, and everyday residents from the City did the same for the 1915 Fair. San Francisco’s rebirth was for them a matter of pride and they wanted to take part in sharing it with the world.\nLike the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco (the only surviving building from the Fair), the elephant statues and fountain found in Viña del Mar Park were deemed too beautiful to fall to the wrecker’s ball, and they were moved to Sausalito and installed here almost a century ago when the Fair closed and most of its buildings were torn down.\nWhy did we get them? The architect who designed the Court of the Universe had worked on many San Francisco landmarks, and happened to come from Sausalito. His name was William Faville. He used the twelve elephant statues (designed by McKim, Mead and White, a New York firm where Faville had worked as a draftsman early in his career) at the base of hundred-foot-tall flagpoles around the building. After the fair ended he arranged for two of the elephant statues and the fountain (which he had designed) to be ferried across the Bay to his home town, which as luck would have it meant we got them.\nSince the Fair was built of a heavy-duty papier-mache-like plaster material that was intended to last a year, the fact that the Palace of Fine Arts survived until its 1960’s renovation is a miracle, even if we saw more chips and flakes as each year passed by.\nThe elephants, unfortunately, only lasted about 20 years. During the Depression of the mid-1930’s a plaster cast was taken of one of the two elephants (which had acquired the nicknames Jumbo and PeeWee) and the result was the concrete version of the statues we have today, which have lasted for 80 years and are still going strong. The current decorative streetlights were also part of the 1935 restoration, which were based on the statue Sausalitans then called “Pee Wee.” The fountain was likewise renovated in concrete at the same time.\nThe elephant statues are often used as a symbol for the city of Sausalito in graphic designs, including those done by the Sausalito Chamber of Commerce. The photo below, which was taken by the Chronicle in 1915, shows the originals holding massive flagpoles.\nLike this kind of story?

Sarah Aroeste is the founder of the NY-based Ladino Rock group, the Sarah Aroeste Band. American-born Aroeste, with family roots in Spain and more recently in Salonika, Greece, launched her band to help bring Sephardic music to a new generation. Most influenced by the music and language of her Spanish origins, Aroeste grounds her music in Ladino, an ethnic form of Castilian Spanish developed by Spanish Jews after their expulsion from Spain in 1492. Although this mysterious pan-Mediterranean language has, unfortunately, been fading away, the musical legacy of Spanish Jews highlights the strength of an oral tradition that spans many centuries and crosses many geographic boundaries. Determined to help keep Ladino music alive, Aroeste updates and reinterprets the tradition by fusing it with more modern sensibilities. With its unique Ladino Rock sound, the Sarah Aroeste Band (Sarah Aroeste: vocals; Yotam Bary: electric bass; Yoel Ben-Simhon: oud, piano, backup vocals; Yaron Eilam: electric guitar; Liron Peled: drums, percussion) takes traditional Ladino music from across the Mediterranean and combines it with contemporary influences such as rock, funk, and blues. Since Aroeste launched her band in 2001, she has toured and amassed a loyal following across the nation and abroad, and has worked hard to bring an updated, exciting new sound to Ladino and Sephardic music.

Lotteries are managed at the state-level in the USA, which means the rules and types of games on offer vary depending on where you live. On this page, we provide the full rundown with a description of every lottery in the United States complete with links to official websites, game descriptions and other key information to know before you play.\nWhile it may be fair to criticize the lottery for offering notoriously poor odds compared to other games of chance, the lottery overcomes that objection by pure brute force with the biggest payouts in all of gambling. No other game in the world comes even close to matching the jackpots generated by major state and multi-state lotteries.\nPowerball and Mega Millions in particular capture the imagination with jackpots that occasionally tread into 10-figure (read: billions) territory. Even the smaller, state-exclusive lotteries put other gambling games to shame with multi-million-dollar jackpots paid out on a regular basis.\nStates gained the authority to sell lottery products online in 2011 after the Department of Justice responded to an inquiry made by New York and Illinois lottery officials back in 2009 asking for clarification on the Wire Act. The DOJ responded with a memo explaining that it views the Wire Act as applying only to sports betting, which cleared the way for states to regulate online lotteries and gambling.\n*Note: Texas and California do not endorse online ticket sales, but LottoGopher.com offers a concierge services that will send someone to buy tickets on your behalf. You must be a state resident to buy tickets in each state in which LottoGopher operates.\nLottoGopher is a self-described “lottery messenger service” that allows customers to order tickets online, create private groups to pool their resources, track their results and receive payouts on winning tickets.\nThe LottoGopher business model is a bit of an outlier as it is not officially endorsed by any lottery. As such, LottoGopher exists on tricky legal footing and only operates in two states: California and Texas. Additionally, LottoGopher does not provide its services across state lines in order to remain compliant with federal law. This means the service is only available to residents of both states.\nAs a “lottery messenger service,” LottoGopher also stresses that it does not buy and resell tickets for a profit (which would be illegal). Instead, LottoGopher offers paid subscriptions for the service ranging from 24 hours to one year. With a subscription in place, you can then order lottery tickets at face value to prompt a LottoGopher employee to go buy tickets from an authorized retailer on your behalf.\nState lotteries tend to be fairly predictable with a similar assortment of draw games, scratch cards, keno and so on. Although your exact options will vary depending on where you live, the following games are the ones you’re most likely to find at your nearest lottery retailer.\nOdds are you’ve heard of Powerball a time or two. This is the game that hits the national news cycle occasionally when the top jackpot swells past $500 million, then $750 million and even sometimes over $1.5 billion.\nPowerball generates some of the world’s largest jackpots by operating as a national game available across most of the United States. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are notoriously low, but that’s exactly how it manages to grow those enormous jackpots before someone wins the whole thing and the jackpot resets.\nMega Millions acts as a sister lottery to Powerball with massive jackpots that occasionally hit the news, two drawings a week and even the same price to play. Just like Powerball, Mega Millions jackpots occasionally blow past the $1 billion mark to set off a frenzy of ticket purchases across the country (which push the jackpot even higher).\nThe biggest difference between the two is Mega Millions drawings are held on different days of the week. Between Powerball and Mega Millions, lottery players in most states suffer no lack of big jackpots to aim for throughout the week.\nWhoever came up with the concept behind Lucky for Life was absolutely brilliant. The idea of winning $1,000 a day for life is understandably appealing, yet it’s not actually a fairly small jackpot compared to the other major multi-state drawings even when you tally up the total value of those payments over 20 or 30 years.\nLotto America is run by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), which also runs Powerball and a handful of other games. In Lotto America, players aim for a growing jackpot and have reasonable odds of 1 in 9.63 to win any prize at all.\nLotto America jackpots are much smaller than those offered by Powerball and Mega Millions, but that is offset by much better odds. While Powerball’s jackpot odds are about 1 in 292 million, Lotto America’s top jackpot odds are about 1 in 26 million.\n2by2 is operated by the Multi-State Lottery Association but is only offered in a handful of states in the Midwest. The basic concept here is to give players a simple game with reasonable odds, medium-sized jackpots and daily drawings.\nWhile the bigger MUSL lotteries certainly have their appeal, this one aims to give players a sense of having a much better chance (which they do). The overall odds of winning any prize at all in 2by2 are 1 in 3.59 and the odds of winning the top jackpot are about 1 in 105,000.\nAlmost every state with a lottery offers a variety of smaller, state-specific games with names like Pick 3, Cash 4 and so on. Because these draw games are limited to a single state, they tend to appeal to players by offering better odds rather than massive jackpots. You’ll find these games under a variety of names and formats, but some basic examples follow.\nNumerous states hold simple Cash 3 lotteries which have players choose a three-digit number for a chance at winning up to $500. Play for $1.00 to win a max prize of $500 or play for $0.50 for a maximum prize of $250.\nSimilar concept to cash 3 except players pick a four-digit number for a chance at winning up to $5,000 off a $1 play or $2,500 off a $0.50 play.\nThis is a daily jackpot game played in numerous states with a default starting jackpot that grows every day there isn’t a winner. Tickets are sold for $1.00 and players choose five numbers. Naturally, the top payout comes when all five numbers are matched.\nThe exact rules regarding range of possible numbers to choose from, starting jackpot and other details vary, but generally Fantasy 5 acts as a mid-sized draw game with reasonable odds and simple rules.\nThe big draw games tend to dominate the news cycle, but they only account for a small percentage of all lottery sales. Daily draw games, keno and scratch cards account for a large chunk of all lottery sales.\nWhile Powerball and Mega Millions are out capturing headlines, these other games provide a lowkey but constant stream of sales to lottery retailers and websites.\nProbably not a whole lot of explanation needed here – these are the games you buy and scratch to find out if you’ve won. Scratch-offs do a ton of business for most state lotteries. In a recent PA Lottery financial report, for example, scratch-offs accounted for more than two-thirds of all lottery sales by dollar.\nA number of states have authorized online scratch card games since 2011 and have reported strong sales through that medium as well. Online scratch cards (also called instant play games in some cases) work similarly to their real-world equivalents, but with graphics and animations that almost resemble slots.\nKeno is a high-volume lottery-style game that runs every few minutes in states that offer this game. Keno works sort of like a regular draw game in having players pick numbers, but an automated system makes picks every few minutes with fixed prize levels determined by the number of picks made and number of hits.\nIn a typical game of keno, a player is asked to choose anywhere from one through twelve numbers out of a range of 1-80. The lottery operator then picks 20 numbers at random from that same range. The more matches a player has with those picked by the automated system, the bigger the prize.\nPayouts at the lower end can be as little as $4 while payouts at the higher end can be as high as $1 million if a player makes twelve picks and all twelve are also chosen by the lottery operator. With high potential prizes and a new game running every few minutes, keno remains a popular game to this day. Some lotteries also offer online keno as well.\nVideo lottery terminals (VLTs) are designed to look and function just like regular slot machines from the player’s point of view, but are run by the state lottery and results are randomly determined by the lottery itself rather than by a random number generator (RNG) like slots are.\nThe differences between regular slots and VLTs are nearly indistinguishable in many cases. Some VLTs look and feel just like slots while others resemble scratch-off games and keno. In any case, VLTs are a quick way to run through a lot of money, so proceed with caution.\nForty-five states and DC have approved a lottery of some sort to date and just five have no lottery whatsoever. The only states without a lottery are Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah.\nAlabama is one of just a small handful of states with no lottery. This is not particularly surprising given the state’s longstanding opposition to all things gambling. Even Alabama’s three tribal casinos are very limited in the types of games they may offer. There is clearly some level of demand for a state lottery, but it is anyone’s guess as to when or if Alabama will get a lottery.\nMuch like Alabama, Alaska is not a big gambling state. No casinos, no lottery and no racing betting make this a desert when it comes to gambling. State legislators have looked into introducing a lottery but have so far concluded it would provide little tax revenue to the state relative to what charitable gaming already raises for good causes.\nThe Arizona Lottery offers drawing games, scratch-off tickets and participates in Mega Millions / Powerball. Minimum age to play is 21 and tickets must be purchased in-person. Money raised by the Arizona lottery funds state educational, health and human services, environmental conservation and economic development programs.\nThe Arkansas Scholarship Lottery was established in 2009 and to fund educational efforts in the state. AR lottery tickets and scratch cards are sold at brick-and-mortar retailers only and the minimum age to play is 18.\nVoters approved the California Lottery in 1984 as a means to raise money for public education and the first tickets were sold the following year. Today, the CA Lottery raises more than $1 billion a year for educational efforts. The CA Lottery sells instant-win scratch cards plus tickets to Powerball, Mega Millions and various state-level drawings.\nOne could make a strong argument that Colorado is the most scenic state in the USA, so it is not entirely surprising that the CO Lottery was sold to voters as a way to fund efforts to preserve the state’s famed parks, trails and open spaces.\nSince selling its first ticket in January 1983, the CO Lottery has raised billions for conservation efforts, grants for outdoor projects and more.\nThe Connecticut Lottery sells a standard range of lotto products including tickets to the major multistate drawings (Powerball, Mega Millions and Lucky for Life) along with state-specific drawings, instant win scratch-off games and keno. Money raised by the CT Lottery goes to the state general fund and is disbursed from there to a wide range of state functions ranging from corrections to higher education.\nDelaware has one of the more comprehensive offerings with multi-state draw games, Delaware-exclusive draw games, keno, instant win scratch games and a parlay-style sports lottery.\nThe DE Lottery also runs all gambling games inside the state’s three racetrack-casinos. Dover Downs, Delaware Park and Harrington Raceway all offer lottery-controlled video lottery machines, table games, sports betting and online gambling.\nThe Florida Lottery offers a standard array of draw games, scratch-offs and fast-play games that offer instant payouts to winners. Money raised by the FL Lottery goes to the Educational Enhancement Fund, which in turn allocates money to various education efforts throughout the state. Today, the Florida Lottery raises more than $1 billion a year for education.\nThe Georgia Lottery offers a full menu of in-person and online games spanning the full range of draw games, instant win scratch-offs and keno. Since launching in 1992, the GA Lottery has raised billions for state education programs designed to assist residents of all ages.\nIn 2012, the GA Lottery went online with the introduction of “Diggi” instant win games, keno and online ticket sales for Powerball, Mega Millions and Fantasy 5. State-level draw games such as Georgia Five are still sold in-person only.\nHawaii has long resisted gambling in general as a state with a heavy tourism industry and concerns that social costs would outweigh any realized revenue benefits. However, this is a debate that seems to come up every year, so it is entirely possible Hawaii does one day institute a lottery.\nVoters approved the Idaho Lottery in 1988 and the first games were sold the following year with money raised going towards state education programs. The ID Lottery sells tickets to its own drawings as well as tickets for Powerball, Mega Millions and Lucky For Life. Other games in the lineup include scratch cards, pull tabs and raffle drawings.\nIllinois began selling lottery tickets to standard drawing games in 1974 and had a successful first year, but sales entered a steady slide over the next few years as the newness of it all wore off. The IL Lottery introduced its first expanded game in 1980 and saw an immediate boost in sales. Since then, the Illinois Lottery has expanded its offerings to include state-level games, multi-state drawings, daily drawings and scratch cards.\nIllinois also has the distinction of being the first state to sell lottery tickets online. Residents 18 and older can now visit the IL Lottery website to buy tickets, order subscriptions and receive online payouts for prizes under $600.\nInterestingly, it was officials from the IL and NY lotteries who also set the stage for online gambling by asking the Department of Justice for a legal opinion on their plans to sell tickets online. The DOJ responded in 2011 with an opinion that not only was their plan legal, but that the Wire Act would be interpreted as applying only to sports betting. This gave states such as New Jersey and Delaware the legal room they needed to legalize the country’s first online casinos.\nVoters approved the Hoosier Lottery in 1988, the first scratch-off tickets were sold in 1989 and then the first tickets to draw games were sold in 1990. Money raised by the Indiana Lottery now totals in the billions with revenue funding a number of important causes such as the Build Indiana Fund, the Teachers’ Retirement Fund and first responder pensions.\nThe Iowa Lottery got off to a quick start in 1985 with its first game, a scratch-off card called “Scratch, Match and Win” selling more than 6.4 million times in its first week. The Iowa Lottery has only grown since then and now provides millions of dollars to three key programs: the state General Fund, Vision Iowa and the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund.\nThe Kansas Lottery offers a typical selection of games including entries to Powerball and Mega Millions, local drawings, scratch card games and keno. Income generated by the KS Lottery goes to a dedicated gaming revenue fund and from there is divvied up across a variety of economic and infrastructure initiatives.\nKentucky boasts one of the more comprehensive state lotteries in the US with instant win games, keno, draw games and a full menu of online purchase options for residents. Money raised by the KY Lottery funds educational programs in the state.\nThe KY Lottery online platform is similarly full-featured with draw game tickets, instant win games and keno (every four minutes) all offered through the website for state residents 18 or older.\nThe Louisiana Lottery keeps things fairly simple with scratch-off games and a handful of draw games on offer. Powerball and Mega Millions are sold in Louisiana alongside a few state-specific draw games with smaller top prizes but significantly better odds. Money raised by the LA Lottery funds the Minimum Foundation Program for public education.\nMaine held its first lottery drawing in 1974 and its first big winner came later that year with a local resident winning a $150,000 jackpot in the weekly “Play Me” game. Now, the ME Lottery offers the big multi-state games, a handful of local draw games and instant win scratch-off cards.\nThe Maryland Lottery offers a wide range of gaming options including daily draw games, tickets to the big multi-state games, scratch-off cards, keno and an electronic racing game called Racetrax. To date, the MD Lottery has raised billions for education, the environment and public health and safety.\nSince its first drawing in 1972, the Massachusetts Lottery has raised billions of dollars’ worth of revenue for towns and cities across the state. Games on offer include a standard variety of drawings, instant win games and keno. Tickets may not be purchased online, but the MA Lottery is willing to sell subscriptions to residents and out-of-staters alike over the phone.\nMichigan has a comprehensive lottery with many games on offer and an online platform that also offers the same games. Anyone 18 or older can participate in state-level drawings, buy tickets to Mega Millions and Powerball and play instant win games in-person or online from anywhere within the state.\nThe Minnesota Lottery offers a standard variety of draw and instant win games that raise money for a variety of causes including the state’s General Fund, the Natural Resources Fund, Game & Fish Fund and the Environmental & Natural Resources Trust Fund. Altogether, a little over 62% of all ticket sales are returned to players in the form of prizes.\nMississippi approved a lottery in 2018 and is now in the process of getting everything ready to go. A board of directors has been appointed and the Mississippi Lottery Corporation is now hiring employees and designing games.\nThe new MS Lottery is set to launch at the end of 2019 or early 2020. Once it goes live, Mississippi will become the 45th state to establish a lottery.\nMissouri launched its lottery in 1985 and now sells tickets to an assortment of draw games (including Powerball and Mega Millions) along with instant win scratch games and keno. For the first few years of operation, the MO Lottery dedicated all proceeds to the state’s general fund. Voters changed that in 1992 with an amendment to earmark all revenue exclusively for public education.\nSince selling its first lottery ticket in 1987, the Montana Lottery has expanded over the years to offer a range of games including scratch cards and a variety of drawing-style games. Montana Millionaire is the biggest state-level drawing game on offer while Powerball, Mega Millions and Lucky for Live provide access to the country’s biggest jackpots.\nThe Nebraska Lottery launched in 1993 with the sale of instant win scratch tickets and added drawing games the following year to make it a full-fledged state lottery.

Although some state lawmakers support the idea of a lottery, opposition remains strong. If Utah does one day get a lottery, it will probably be a result of a voter-initiated referendum.\nThe Vermont Lottery is one of the most efficient in the country with a staff of fewer than two dozen employees who oversee an organization that provides tens of millions to state educational efforts every year. Despite its small staff, the VT Lottery provides a healthy lineup of games consisting of instant win games, multi-state drawings, state-specific drawings and fast-play games that offer instant payouts.\nThe Virginia Lottery offers the usual assortment of draw games and instant win scratch cards in addition to selling subscriptions to the three big multi-state games online. Online subscriptions must be purchased for at least two weeks and the minimum deposit to get started online is $20. Money raised by the VA Lottery is put toward K-12 public education efforts.\nThe Washington State Lottery runs a collection of its own draw games, daily keno games, scratch cards and sells tickets to the major multi-state drawings including Powerball and Mega Millions. This is a fairly standard lottery by all measures but is still a big one with roughly half a billion dollars paid out to winners every year.\nThe DC Lottery is the country’s smallest in terms of geographic reach, but still manages to achieve annual sales in the range of $250 million. Games sold by the DC Lottery include a variety of daily-draw games, tickets to Powerball and Mega Millions, scratch cards and instant win games played at tap-n-play kiosks.\nIn 2018, the DC Lottery approved sports betting to take place in-person at authorized locations and through mobile devices.\nWest Virginia runs a highly profitable lottery that raises more than $500 million a year for education, senior services, tourism and state parks off sales in excess of $1 billion a year. The bulk of the money raised by the West Virginia comes from video lottery terminals which can be found at the state’s four racetracks and at certain businesses with alcohol licenses.\nGames run by the WV Lottery include a mix of state-level draw games, multi-state games, scratch cards, keno and video lottery terminals. The WV Lottery Commission also oversees in-person and online sports betting in the state.\nThe Wisconsin Lottery operates a handful of its own draw games, participates in multi-state drawings and sells instant-win games to people 18 and older. Since launching its first games in 1988, the WI Lottery has raised billions for property tax credits benefitting homeowners throughout the state.\nWyoming tentatively entered the lottery business in 2013 with legislation authorizing draw games only. This means scratch cards and other types of lottery games are off limits for now, but the WY Lottery says it is always researching new ideas for draw-based games. Income earned by the WY Lottery is distributed to cities and towns across the state to use as they see best for their residents.
TWO major projects are planned to be built in the town of Sabang, which is a component of the solar cell factory and geothermal power plants in Jaboi, until now has not been realized. Geothermal project Jaboi, there’s even the tender winner, but the project was not well done.\nRelated plan component of the solar cell plant, said Fauzi Husin, this project is hampered because of the absence of a cargo ship that sailed directly from Korea and Singapore to Sabang. Ship transport pathways available heretofore item, from Korea to Singapore. Then from Singapore to Belawan, North Sumatra. No shipping cargo ship directly from Singupura to Sabang.\n“If should from Belawan first, they (the Korean company) dont want it. Because they have to deal anymore over there, including the cost as well. If from Singapore directly to the Sabang they do not need to pay anymore, “said Fauzi.\nLetters contract development cooperation component of the solar cell factory was signed by Head BPKS, Fauzi Husin and Director Edu Mirae Energy Co. Ltd., Han Seung SIK, witnessed by the Governor of Aceh Zaini Abdullah, in Banda Aceh, November 26, 2012. And the construction of the solar cell plant components Sabang, should begin in early January 2013. The value of the investment reached 12.5 million US dollars.\nEdu team Mirae Energy Co. Ltd. also has visited Sabang to see the location of of the factory. The cooperation between BPKS and Edu Mirae Energy, will create in a company named PT Sabang Mirae Energy. The company that will operationalize all investment activities in Sabang, including marketing its products throughout Aceh and other parts of Indonesia.\nMeanwhile the construction of a geothermal power plant in Jaboy, District Sukajaya, Sabang has not been implemented. Originally, the project tender has won by PT Sabang Geothermal Energy (SGE) in 2009 it has been realized.\n“But the problem now projects that have been tendered will end his contract, while the development plan has not been seen. Yes if you want to continue development should be re-tendered, “said Fauzi.
Today is Australia Day, so I am writing about an iconic Australian animal and one that I’ve seen a few times in the wild, the eastern grey kangaroo.\nThey are the second largest marsupial in the world, with the large, muscular males often growing well over 2 metres in length from nose to tail.\nEastern grey kangaroos are mainly nocturnal. They sleep during the day in the shade of trees and shrubs, coming out at night to graze on grass. They are also very social animals, living in mobs of up to 20.\nThe way that they hop is a very efficient and energy saving way of travelling in hot Australia weather. They have been timed at 64 kph and can leap over 9 metres long and 1.8 metres high. They can’t walk backwards, which is why they are on the Australian Coat of Arms with the emu, which also can’t walk backwards.\nOne of the most incredible things about them is that when they are first born, they are about the size of a jellybean. They are born tiny, blind and hairless and have to climb up through the mother’s fur to the pouch where they attach themselves to a teat and stay there for a long time, growing quickly until they finally appear after six months. It’s a very dangerous journey for such a small baby and it ensures that only the strongest joeys survive.\nEastern grey kangaroos are one of the few animals that have increased in number since the arrival of Europeans. They are found in forests throughout the eastern side of Australia and are abundant in number.\nAre there any other interesting facts that you would like to share about eastern grey kangaroos?

As emerging writers, we are told to create action or drama at the opening of our stories. Nonfiction writers, especially biographers, often foreshadow a significant event in their subject’s life, while fiction writers do the same by cherry-picking a critical point on the timeline, but this is not always practical. In general, reader engagement arises by presenting an aspect of the story that generates keen interest. For example, it could be humor or tension that is exemplary of the entire book. The biggest mistake is presenting large amounts of backstory or introductory information at the start. Another version of this misstep is beginning too soon on the timeline. Both of these approaches throw water on the spark of the story. This set up information can be folded into the story at a later time or even removed altogether. In modern times, think about eliminating chapters that begin with the words Foreword, Introduction, Prologue, and Preface—or even Epilogue for that matter because they sap energy from the book. Many readers receive these appendages like homework and skip them to get to the meat of the book.\nA book should have a clearly defined purpose, otherwise it’s just a long and wandering diatribe. A nonfiction book has a thesis, while a work of fiction has a story question. Don’t let any fine writing teacher talk you out of this essential element of a book. All art from poetry to painting has a point. When it’s focused—because its creator knows precisely what it is—the reader or viewer becomes involved with the piece. The writer who says “I write to discover what the story’s about” should be pushed down a flight of stairs. This statement is disingenuous and impractical. While writers discover aspects of and hone down a story during its development, there comes a time when the writer makes a firm commitment to the mission of the book and then goes about amplifying it. A smart writer makes it clear in the opening pages and sometimes even the title.\nBook openings are like a first date. The writer features what he does well and goes to it often during the course of his relationship with the reader. If the opening is phony, disorganized, or confusing, the reader will never get to the next chapter, and a match made in heaven has been squandered. Quickly establish as many of the following items as possible: the predominant point of view used, the main character(s), the typical setting, and the sequencing. While these aspects help authenticate the story, the latter involves the structure of the book. If the book darts back and forth through time, events, and/or characters, it’s critical to present a pattern from the start. As a result, your story organization will become a silent rhythm in the reader’s mind.\nThe tone of the story involves everything from word choice, to sentence structure, to the overall attitude of the narrative and characters. Most stories form a conundrum that ranges from solving a mystery to battling the internal complexities of the human spirit. This can be presented on a scale from terrifying to hilarious. Even if the story tone shifts for dramatic effect, the main tone should be delivered at the start. If the story is a romance, then it’s the longing of the heart. If it’s an intense mystery, then it’s a mangled corpse. If it’s an enduring quest, then the journey’s gauntlet must be cast down.\nIt’s a self-indulgent or inexperienced writer who does not recognize the trend to immediately engage the reader. In fact, it isn’t a trend, but a well-established precept of successful writing. If you are currently writing to figure out what the story is about or where the story begins, then stop! Park your pen and take a moment to do some sketching and outlining before you draft another word. Ask your characters why they’ve entered the room and what they want from the story. If they can’t tell you, then they either need to leave or you need to get to know them better before pushing them along their story line. Once you know their stories and what they want, find the first worst moment on their timeline and begin the story right there.\nBe suspicious of a publication that refuses to reveal a reviewer’s name or credentials.\nProfessional Writing – A number of aspects go into a professionally written review. First, is the staff populated by professionals? This seems obvious, but many review sites are writer mills, allowing virtually anyone who is interested to pen a review. Other review sites barely compose a staff. These are mom and pop shops that tend to hang an Internet shingle for business, purport authority, and write reviews on their own. These are not professionals at work, no matter how slick or jazzy their websites appear. Look at the publication’s staff page, if it even has one. Are there more than a handful of writers? Be suspicious of a publication that refuses to reveal its reviewers’ names. The byline credit is a basic courtesy given to a professional freelancer, and virtually none would work without obtaining a byline for their portfolio. Second, is the review publication consistent across the masthead? A professional review publication has guidelines and an editor who keeps its staff and articles in line. Each review should have consistency, generating both authority and confidence in the publication. Third, does the reviewer address both the book content and the writing? Any sixth-grader can write a book summary, but a professional will critique a book through informed commentary that also addresses the writing itself. If the review narratives appear summary-driven, conversational, or employ a first-person tense, these are not professional writers at work.\nAuthentic Readership – Are there dedicated subscribers, visitors, and followers of the review publication? A professional review means nothing if no one reads the publication. Weekly, monthly, and annual visitors are metrics that can be easily measured (and provided to the author). Does the publication have a subscriber base? If not (or if it’s insignificant), the publication cannot assert relevance for its work. And if the publication merely dumps its reviews on an on-line aggregator (that next to no one reads), it will not be of any service to the author. Next, validate the publication’s social media following with one of the free analytical tools, such as TwitterAudit for Twitter followers and LikeAnalyzer for Facebook likes. Here’s a dirty little secret about the industry: Many review publications are purchasing Twitter and Facebook followers to create the illusion of having a large audience, when in fact it is only a fraction of what it appears to be. This is useless to the author, as well as unethical on the part of the publication. See our article on this subject: Fake Social Media: More Common Than You Think.\nA high price does not guarantee quality or readership.\nCost-Effectiveness – Most authors’ budgets are limited, and spending hundreds of dollars for a book review is not acceptable. Often these reviews are no better than that which you can obtain from a free book review site like The Midwest Book Review, which ranges from good, semi-professional coverage to amateur reviews. A high price does not guarantee quality or readership. A professional book review can be obtained for less than one hundred dollars, but be certain to closely examine the publication’s writing and readership in advance.\n…you have to ask: What business is the review publication really in?\nWarning: If the publication or its editors are up-selling manuscript editing services or the like, you have to ask: What business is the review publication really in? Are they a review publication, or are they a money-milking operation? The work of an editor and the work of a reviewer should never cross paths. An editor ensures quality, and a reviewer measures it. When the reviewer and editor become one entity, integrity flies out the window. (Hmmm… let us review the wonderful manuscript we just helped you edit… hmmm… not very trustworthy.) Furthermore, many of the side marketing services offered by review publications are built on a promise of viewership and not supported by real data. Ask for site traffic data or evidence of real of readership. For example, The US Review of Books is consistently a top Google search for “book reviews” in a very crowded field and has a strong monthly readership in the tens of thousands, as well as thousands of additional on-line visitors and followers on social media.\nRemember, a book review is only the beginning of an essential conversation about the book.\nDeciding to purchase a book review can be an effective tool when marketing a book. It can provide pull-quotes for marketing and stock materials for a media kit and press releases. It can even seed eventual sales. Remember, a book review is only the beginning of and essential conversation about the book, but it will neRead this article on creating a feedback loop to help kick-start your marketing efforts.\nThe US Review of Books is a professional review publication sent to more than 18,000 monthly subscribers, including thousands of additional followers on Facebook and Twitter. The US Review is staffed by professionals and is highly praised by authors and publishers.\nIt’s been a decade since an art book has taken the grand prize for the Eric Hoffer Book Award, but this beauty kept rising to the top of our judges’ scoring cards. Have you ever seen a book after it becomes wet and dries? It screams, with a puffed chest of curling pages like the arms of a roiling sea monster. Julius Freedman shows us this and more, as he takes on the book as both physical and symbolic object. In a sequence of building images, The Book begins with a book as art in its purest form—its complex leather bindings, the embedded tabs of a dictionary, the pages of sophisticated rag or weave. Then books begin to take flight, with pages misshapen, eventually cracking and splitting from their spines, the print itself escaping, until we enter the realm of collage, yet always tethered to the concept of a book itself.\nIs a book a mere extension of our memories, or does it go deeper than its byproduct overlap with our brains? If Gabriel Garcia Marquez created a book to fit his prose, it might result in one of Freedman’s constructions. The organization, as well as thoughtful commentary by Pico Iyer and Jill Gage, strike the right balance with the art presentation. Unique, whimsy, thought-provoking, this beautiful coffee table edition is worthy of any collection. but it is so much more. It envelopes the very concept of the book itself. Bravo.\nPresident Nixon’s legacy, and resulting long shadow over history, rests with two monumental blunders unknown to most people. He took the US dollar off the gold standard, resulting in a global currency destabilization that may soon come home to roost. In addition, he canceled the Saturn V rocket—the largest rocket ever assembled by mankind, the rocket that would have launched astronauts to Mars. Without either of those decisions, the US space program might have already colonized the red planet and would have the money to accomplish it.\nAfter a fifty-year malaise, NASA lacks both the funding and the technological will to get the job done. Although it appears to be catching up for lost time, it has purposefully suffered from a presidential lack of vision leading from Nixon to Obama. In short, the US is decades behind where it should be. Make no mistake about it; going as far back as the Mercury Program days and beyond, Mars has always been the goal. Its similarity to Earth and its close proximity to the mineral-rich asteroid belt make it the ultimate target within our solar system.\nPetranek covers the basics of a potential trip to and the colonization of Mars in what appears to be a reprint of a TED lecture rather than any in-depth discussion on the topic. Still, he covers the necessary points regarding why, how, and then what happens next. Achieving Mars will be complicated. If cutting-edge engine technology doesn’t pan out, the trip will be a minimum of six to ten months, all the while exposing humans to an unprecedented level of radiation that doesn’t cease once they reach the planet. On the surface, humans must immediately tend to the basics of food, water, oxygen, and shelter. Temperatures range from 80 degrees to -225 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosphere is toxic. Luckily but not easily, Mars has water frozen at the poles, in regolith rock, and perhaps below the surface, and if you can reclaim water, you can make all the oxygen you require.\nThe author sticks with the theory that travelers to Mars will never return to Earth. This opposes a more ambitious plan for a Mars cycler commuting between planets while carrying passengers and cargo. Regardless of the approach, early arrivals to Mars will need to bring everything they need to survive, but to establish a colony, they’ll need to generate all vital staples on-site, including growing plants to eat and creating parts for repair and construction. Eventually they’ll go about the process of terraforming the surface to sustain life. A few theories regarding this latter transformation are kicked around in this book as well.\nAt times, the author pays too much homage to private enterprise players such as Elon Musk, but given NASA’s slowed pace and funding, it’s logical that humans aren’t going to reach Mars without the commercial interests of partners. Virtually no great human migration has been accomplished on idealism alone. For example, Christopher Columbus, like the Vikings before him, traveled to the New World in search of treasure for his homeland. Later on, the Pilgrims arrived via private funding with the hope of establishing a regular income stream for their investors.\nMars is the New World, and like the explorers that preceded them on Earth, travelers to Mars will go to change their lives, discover new frontiers for the species, and harvest the planet’s riches. Before long, our descendants will not return to Earth, but become Martians for future generations. This book provides an overview of how that might happen.\nIf your introduction to Vic Chesnutt was the benefit album Sweet Relief II, you quickly moved past the great celebrity performances and asked: Who is this songwriter and why haven’t I heard of him before? If you still haven’t heard of Chesnutt—or the author of this book for that matter—you’d better go record shopping this afternoon before someone spots your musical blind spot. Regardless, in this haunting, poetic, musical road show memoir, singer/songwriter Kristin Hersh takes us inside her friendship with Chesnutt. Her experience is as insightful to a musician’s life as it is to the human existence—constantly probing and reevaluating self-understanding along with her footing on the planet.\nChesnutt, paralyzed since eighteen years of age, is a songwriter’s songwriter, whose catalogue has been rerecorded and admired for decades. He passed away on Christmas 2009 after an apparent self-induced overdose. He would likely find the sentimentality of that date to be nauseating. There was very little he wouldn’t poke fun of, including himself. He came across as somewhat twisted by life’s cruel blows and ironies, but he was beautiful as well, like a modern sculpture that acknowledges the past but rearranges it in a compelling way. As Hersh says, “he was broken in all the right places.” Listening to his songs, you had the feeling that you were always hearing the real Vic Chesnutt.\nMuch of this book covers a shared tour when Chesnutt was a decade or more into a brilliant career launch and Hersh was composing one of her best solo albums. You’ll understand Hersh’s must-have Sunny Border Blue better after reading this book. The line between Chesnutt’s everyday discourse and songs will be blurred. From town to town and stop to stop, as their vigilant spouses watch and occasionally mop up after them, Chesnutt and Hersh bounce off each other intellectually and emotionally, achieving spare equilibrium in one of the truly unique musical relationships.\nThe ending is the curtain fall you expected, although the author fights hard to meter her words while the songwriter fights just as hard to mute her sound regarding the event. Grief doesn’t get processed in a minute, a day, a year. Grief puts a new song in your head, one you never wanted to hear. Hersh sketches the loss, that song.\nWhile a smidge more orientation would have been appreciated in general, this narrative isn’t about place and time. The writing is a lot like Hersh’s songs—focusing on moments, reflections, and the stray-dog objects that compose life. There are lines you’ll never forget, and you can’t help but love the adorable, self-sabotaging, curmudgeon Chesnutt revealed in these pages. You’ll wish you’d been there to absorb his flak backstage or in the southern sun. On balance, this book stands as a testament to the sincerity of his songwriting.\nassigning a successor to his duties if he/she cannot perform them.\nYour literary executor will not have control of your work’s copyright (i.e. ownership). That will belong to your heirs. However, a literary executor with full power will not have to consult your heirs during negotiation of those rights. If you do not want your literary executor to manage certain work or have specific powers, including exclusive negotiation rights or the assignment of a successor, these aspects should be specifically outlined in the document that assigns your literary executor. One compromise is to have your literary executor act as an experienced advisor to your heirs, consulting with them on all decisions and then implementing agreed upon terms.\nAssigning a literary executor is not all about contract negotiation and oversight. It also involves handling your literary papers and letters. Robert Gover had told me that some of his manuscripts and letters were already stored at the Boston University’s Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center, and so it made sense to move his remaining papers to that institute—a process that took over a year to bring to fruition. Otherwise, I would have had to locate a respectful archive for his papers.\nFor the Eric Hoffer estate, his papers had already been stored at the Hoover Institute, but with regular rights inquiries, it was important to have access to existing contracts in order to help avoid copyright conflicts. I began collecting contracts before his initial heir died. (I was not there when Hoffer died, but brought on by his initial heir.) Obtaining copies of existing contracts is a protracted process. In my experience, publishers will be intentionally unhelpful. They have a long history of hiding royalties from authors, as well as assuming rights that they had never obtained. Make sure your literary executor knows everything you do, so he/she can make the best decisions. Slapping a firm letter on a publisher with the power of an informed literary executor is better on any day than filing a lawsuit. The big publishers will out-wait and out-lawyer you every time.\nUnless something unusual happens like a late surge in the popularity of your work, managing your literary estate requires the most work immediately following your death. First, there are your papers to deal with. Also, your literary executor might be called upon to assess the value of your literary estate. During probate or later financial inquiries, your literary estate might be measured regarding worth and potential earnings.\nYour literary executor might even have to destroy portions of your papers in order to preserve your legacy. If you trust your literary executor, and you should, give him/her that right. He/She will be looking out for you in your absence. As authors, we sometimes hold onto early, inferior manuscripts that we should have burned a long time before our passing. Do you think Emily Dickinson wishes she had a literary executor who might have destroyed the so-so novel of a legendary poet and kept it from being published? From what I’ve learned about her demanding and independent personality, I would guess the answer is yes.\nConsidering the effort that might be in store for your literary executor, a 10% to 20% payment on royalties is reasonable. (Again, your state laws may limit/specify executor payments.) Your literary executor likely will be doing all of the work, while your heirs cash checks. For Gover, I do it as a labor of love. For the Hoffer estate, I field regular rights and usage inquiries that must be investigated, negotiated, and perhaps declined. It is a nontrivial effort, which the earnings percentage that I receive helps salve.\nAs I write this article, I realize that I have not yet considered my own literary executor. I have published several books and scripts, and there are various contracts, royalties, and projects in the works at stake. Furthermore, I have specific desires about how I’d like my work to be managed in perpetuity, and I also need to consider the succession for the literary estates that I handle. While I hope to be around for some time yet, I plan on lining up my literary executor and successors well in advance. Many of those people are already obvious to me. I imagine your potential literary executor will be obvious to you. Don’t wait too long. Solidify your literary legacy now.\nThe above article is practical advice for authors, not legal advice for individuals setting up a will. Probate laws and requirements vary from state to state. Seek professional advice where necessary.\nNo one likes to think about wills or insurance policies. It’s the stuff that reminds us of our mortality, yet helps define our legacy. Legacy planning requires thoughtful reflection and the selection of the correct, living people to manage it. When you’re gone, you’ll have little control over what happens next. You can either prepare for the best outcome while you walk the Earth or leave your heirs with chaos, feuding, and probate courts. Your heirs will have varying degrees of concern for your legacy, ranging from not-at-all through avarice to sincere compassion for your work. Get control of the process now.\nAs an author, you have a special addendum to your legacy known as your literary estate. This involves the administration of your published and unpublished work, letters, papers, royalties, and contracts. You’ll need someone you can trust to manage your literary estate who will look after both your interests and integrity as an author. The reason why you don’t see the Ernest Hemingway Big Game Rifle or the Jack Kerouac Touring Tires is because they have the correct person managing their legacies. The person who will manage your literary estate is known as a Literary Executor.\nMost people are familiar with an Estate Executor—the appointed person who manages the affairs of a dearly departed. State laws moderate what an estate executor can do and how much he/she can be paid for doing it. This person is often an attorney who knows how to navigate the law and has experience dealing with heirs. Unfortunately, this person has general experience for estates and often little to no experience with the literary world and all of its pitfalls and trap doors. For that, you’ll want to appoint a Literary Executor to administrate your literary estate apart from your general estate concerns.\nYour literary executor would optimally be someone who is both involved in the business of publishing and is familiar with you and your heirs. It could be an editor, agent, or fellow writer. He/She should understand both your work and intentions. This is uncovered through knowing you and maintaining an ongoing dialogue about your work. After your death, your literary executor will act in your place, even appointing the next literary executor to succeed him/her.\nIn the years leading up to his death, bestselling author Robert Gover asked me to become his literary executor. I was the natural choice. He was my writing mentor before I was published. I admired and understood his work. Over the years, we became peers in the industry, and in addition to being published on my own, I edited his latter novels. We were friends, and I came to know his wife and children (i.e. his eventual heirs). This is the optimal of all situations. While you’ll benefit from assigning someone who knows your heirs, aim for a literary executor who understands the business first, and then your work next.\nGover knew that his heirs would trust me and my eventual decisions, but I was powerless in managing his literary estate unless it was official. However, I learned that almost no one had information on this topic. I am a member of the Author’s Guild, which defends authors on various copyright and literary concerns, but even their legal council had no advice other than a general disclaimer that they would not be advising me on this matter. Furthermore, Gover had limited funds near the time of this death, and so hiring the correct yet expensive attorney to draw up paperwork was out of the question. If you own a wealthy literary estate or you possess the financial means, you should hire a publishing-experienced attorney to establish your literary legacy. Unfortunately for most authors, the cost of this attorney would erase any hope of profit and thereby eliminate a primary factor of managing a literary estate in perpetuity.\nIn the case of Gover’s literary estate, I sought a document that assigned my position. The answer was a simple letter from Gover, declaring me as his literary executor to manage all of the aforementioned factors that go with those duties in the event of his death. In his advanced age, I typed it up for him and had a professional notarize the document. A Notary Public can be found at a nearby bank, post office, shipper, or even an attorney’s office. You might have one in the family. The point was to have Gover assign me as his literary executor (and my appointed duties) in clear language on a document with a witnessed signature. Having secured that, I was a literary executor for the first time. Without that document, all control of his literary estate would be left in the hands of his heirs.\nIf your literary estate is significant—that which will generate an inheritance tax for example—consider having your literary executor specified in your will. This will require a visit to an experienced attorney. It’s also a good idea to sit down with your heirs in advance and explain to them who will be managing your literary estate if it will not be your heirs directly. You want no surprises. Your death will be an emotional time, and surprises will create unnecessary contentions with or among your heirs. Keep in mind that after your death, your literary executor conceptually will be the steward of your work, but in reality will be working on behalf of your heirs.
Nike comes up with another epic video campaign about the arguably greatest basketball player in the world today, Kobe Bryant. The video is about Kobe's one-on-one battle against the dreaded Achilles Injury. Of course, Kobe won that battle en route to making a return few days ago.\nThe Lakers lost to the Raptors in Kobe's season debut, but still the good news is that he is back after suffering a torn Achilles tendon. Nike knows the importance of that comeback not only for Kobe's career but also for the happiness of his millions of fans and the LA Lakers fans all over the world as well.\nNo wonder they come up with this epic video campaign.\n"If he never got up, he'd still be called a hero.\nAnd if he hadn't stepped back on to the court, he'd still be a Hall of Famer.\nAnd if he didn't hit those free throws, he would still go down in basketball history.\nAnd if he never came back to the game, he'd be a living legend.\nBut he wouldn't be Kobe Bryant."
For a fully guided, full or half day excursion we will begin by picking you up from your Queenstown accommodation in the morning. From there we rendezvous with your helicopter and pilot then fly through scenic backcountry to find water best suited to the weather/conditions of the day. Under the watchful eye of your experienced local guide, try your hand at landing the local Brown and Rainbow Trout. If you don’t land the big one, the stunning mountain scenery and gin-clear waters will be excellent rewards in themselves.\nThis excursion is best suited for people wanting to fish in nearby waters to Queenstown.
On the phone last night my roving fashion reporter described many of the ladies' outfits at Ascot this year as 'lovely', 'nice' or 'beautiful'; some of the hats were a 'little over the top' and others just plain 'awful'.\nBrilliant - that's exactly my kind of fashion reporting, a complete contrast to some of the verbiage the BBC's James Sherwood came out with on Radio Four this morning. At one point he talked about ladies who 'know how to wear a hat' - and there I was thinking the ladies in question just sat the old titfer on their barnet and proceeded to walk about underneath it.\nGiles Smith, picking up on the dapper James Sherwood theme, writes in today's Times, 'The top-hatted Sherwood is taken to talking with his eyes closed, which you have to be fantastically posh to get away with.' I'm not so sure on that one, Giles; most mornings Mrs Tips tells me I was talking in my sleep the night before but I'd hardly describe my upbringing as 'posh' - we thought knives and fork were pieces of jewellery until the age of eight.\nEnough of that drivel, let's get on to tomorrow's racing. Nine go to post for the King Edward VIIth Stakes due off at 3.05. The Derby form is primarily represented by Lucarno and Salford Mill. On the book Lucarno is the choice but Salford Mill came from a long way back that day and could be dangerous if ridden closer to the pace. David Elsworth's string are in good form, so Salford Mill is the selection.\nIn the Coronation Stakes at 3.45 likely favourite Finsceal Beo could be vulnerable after recently running three Group 1 races in three weeks. Darjina has already taken her scalp and gets the vote. Mark Winstanley was very bullish about John Oxx's Arch Swing after her second in the Guineas at Newmarket in May but the horse ran no race whatsoever last time out. I'm prepared to give this filly another chance; she makes some each way appeal at around 14/1.\nSalford Mill (11/2) ran a disappointing race to finish seventh of the nine runners, although the rain is unlikely to have helped his cause.\nOn ground that was riding good to soft 7/2 shot Darjina had no answer to Indian Ink's burst at the furlong pole, finishing 6 lengths third. 10/1 chance Arch Swing showed her last run to be wrong finishing a respectable fourth.

It’s been a while since the last devlog. I had some other projects to follow and a lot of stuff to do, but here I am. Let’s jump right into the subject: this post is about level design and my approach to level design in Steady Drop.\nIn this I started to think about full procedural generation where I put the rules into the algorithm and the level are generated with no manual level design at all. Sure, great approach, but I’ve found is not really suitable for what I wanted to do. Since the only level I have is potentially infinite I though more like a sequential loading.\nEventually I came out with a type of sequential loading where the level is loaded from basic parts that I call “slot”. The slots are loaded when needed progressively as long as the character falls down and are deleted/disabled when are offscreen because they are not usable anymore. The main operations of loading and deleting is shown in this code snippets below.\nBasically, the slots are divided by difficulty in different pools and since the difficulty is progressively increased as the player goes down, a random slot are picked from a pool of the current difficulty. In this way each slot has to be independent from others and still give a sense of flow and continuity when put in a slot chain, so I had to find a easy method to create a set of separate slots that convey flow.\nIn the last couple of months I started to read about different techniques of level design along with image composition, functional level design, “level design has to serve the gameplay” and others best practices and tips on the matter.\nFinally, I found that this approach on Gamasutra could be very suitable for what I was trying to achieve, and you will find references of it in the following explanation of my level design pipeline.\nBasically what I’ve done are very simple few steps.\nDefining the component palette: all the enemies, obstacles and even the player.\nDivide a blank sheet on three and drawing a curved path on each part. This is my ideal falling path, my flow.\nMark the points of the path that are on the center and draw a horizontal line. In this way the horizontal line delineate a slot.\nIn the slide-show you can find an example of what I’ve done.\nI chose to divide the vertical column when the flow pass through the center because in this way every slot has its flow starting and ending in the same area and they can be put in random order and still maintain a pretty consistent flow. In this way during the game, each slot can be randomly loaded as needed from a set of independent slots (like shown above).\nI hope you liked this post :-). The next post I will explain the point system and the overall logic, stay tuned for more devlogs and other articles.

Pollution levels in Delhi have reached epic proportions, lakes in Bangalore are foaming and catching fire, and garbage is piling along our streets in ever-increasing quantities. All this morbid news comes with a silver lining: A marked increase in civil society’s awareness of local issues, especially in urban areas. NGOs, social enterprises and start-ups have begun to deliver local solutions to local problems. The government of India with its Swachh Bharat mission has also joined in, bringing all its firepower. This infectious enthusiasm, however, faces several pitfalls that we must avoid if we are to achieve even moderate success.\nThe first pitfall is that of scale. Despite having lost some sheen, the idea of one-size-fits-all continues to fester. Not enough attention is paid to the possibility that it may fail if we try to take it out of the environment in which it was born. Also, trained model thinking often ignores corruption and oligopolies that prevent the most optimal solution from being implemented. For example, consider Bangalore and its ever-growing problem of solid waste management. A solution that has been proposed is segregation at source — a model that has worked reasonably well in the West. However, while some people may segregate their waste by choice, a few may only do so when there is punitive action, while others may not do it even if there’s the threat of a hefty fine or a jail term. It’s an open secret that segregation at source is disadvantageous to the garbage mafia in Bangalore (that rakes its dues from the government based on the weight of garbage in trucks) and, therefore, no amount of waste-profiling or optimal disposal route-mapping will complete the loop and result in tangible outcomes. The solution is not to do away with model thinking but instead operate carefully, under the perpetual assumption that scaling will not work unless proven otherwise.\nA second and related obstacle is the over-dependence of data-driven decision-making. The walk from raw data to report can create an illusion that all has been accounted for, but the data we get is wrought with inconsistencies and potential errors. More importantly, the back story for every data set collection is washed away when combined with data coming from other reports or for the purpose of brevity. For instance, Karnataka achieved the 100 per cent toilets mark in all its schools last year, a feat that was tempered somewhat by the data that said 5,344 were dysfunctional. At around 5 per cent of the total toilets in the state, the figure doesn’t look too bad on paper. But the cracks are in the meta-data: A toilet is considered dysfunctional only when there’s no water for cleaning. Our organisation works with schools in improving sanitation and local issues across Karnataka and what we have seen in a recent survey we conducted is that only 17% of toilets were actually usable.\nMany had been bolted to avoid the hassle of cleaning, some appropriated as toilets for teachers and staff, and a few clogged and rendered unusable. Data-based decision-making is here to stay, but real solutions are possible only when data is highly granular. We must operate under the assumption that data-based recommendations are useless unless the underlying data is ground-truthed and verified against the experience of local-level administrators and civil society.\nA third drawback is our narrative — a narrative that is devoid of any attempts to woo the youth towards social change. Let’s look at the numbers — 10 million Indians graduate every year in this country and only one million get jobs. The mismatch in career and ambition with interest and passion is largely to blame for this. Students hop onto the engineering or medicine train in millions, unable by circumstance to decide for themselves. This leaves nine million unemployed and disgruntled youth, who have the potential to change society but are not given any impetus. It is not enough to dole out lessons in civic and environmental responsibility and hope for change without providing the necessary platform or opportunity for youth to explore their potential. India’s famed demographic dividend is slipping away between our fingers, even as we gloat about it in the rest of the world and unless we do something about it that is quick and effective on a local scale, we will have to start preparing for a demographic liability.\nThe last pitfall is that of confusing perception with reality. In the age of social media and instant gratification, it is easy to get frustrated by bureaucracy and government. And it is equally easy to quell that frustration with a few photo-ops, a strongly worded tweet or an emphatic ratification by a television presenter.\nI spent eight months collecting garbage in Bangalore, doing the safai karamchari’s job and sharing their space. The journey was deeply humbling, and provided a strong impetus for my life goals. There are thousands who are just as enthusiastic as I am and waiting to solve problems, but do not have the right tools or environment. The disillusioned millions hold the key to a better India. It is only a matter of time before they burst onto the scene and be the change they wish to see.\nJoin us in our mission to solve tough civic and environmental issues using innovation and data, check out www.reapbenefit.org..
