Binary options continue to make its way into the mainstream electronic trading arena via strategic alliances between binary options platform providers and established FX brokers.
Today, Alpari is the latest to add binary options to its offering by way of a partnership with Binary Products Limited. The partnership takes the form of an agent agreement with Binary Products Limited which will allow Alpari traders to predict the price movement of popular currency pairs and spot metals via the MarketsPulse trading platform.
“The widening of our product lineup is a significant event not only for Alpari, but for the market as a whole” stated Alpari CEO Boris Shilov today on behalf of the firm.
“Our persistent efforts to improve our trading terms and the continual expansion of our lineup of products and services are key to our company’s lasting success. The first half of 2013 provided no exception to this trend of sustained growth: Our trading volume in Russia and the countries of the CIS was up 67%, in excess of $788 billion, and the number of accounts at Alpari was nearing 1 million” stated Mr. Shilov.
In terms of the provision of binary options, contracts with expiration ranging from 3 minutes to 1 hour will be available to trade in the new OptionTrader platform, and Alpari clients will have the opportunity to open accounts denominated in US dollars and euros. Alpari believes that there is a lot of potential for binary options in Russia in the CIS region.
In the UK, the firm has taken a different approach insofar as that it offers binary options trading via the SpotOption platform, further highlighting the independent means by which each of the Alpari business units operate.
Alpari clients trading a standard MetaTrader 4 account will also gain access to CFDs (Contracts For Difference) on commodities, indexes, ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) and stocks listed on NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange. CFDs will give Alpari clients the capability to capitalize on rising as well as falling prices in these markets.
In addition, to the offering of binary options, Alpari has also launched a trading account for beginners, under the designation of the nano.mt4 account. This new account type gives traders the opportunity to trade with real money, but on a much smaller scale – the amount of funds required to open a position on a nano.mt4 account is 100 times less than with traditional trading accounts.
This will allow novice traders to get a feel for the psychological aspect of trading with real money, something that a demo account can’t do. There is also no minimum deposit on these new accounts, which are denominated in “US cents” and “Euro cents”.
Daniel Skowronski, CEO of Alpari (UK) Limited, made a corporate statement today: “Our number one focus is to ensure that we continually evolve and enhance our consumer offering. Binary options are the latest addition to our product portfolio and follow on from other recent product launches in 2013 such as our social trading product TraderConnect and VPS.”

HALIFAX – Imagine if more residents could put on glasses and see streets through the eyes of someone who can change them. Problems might have trouble surviving if people felt they could simply fix—or have fixed—any issue they see. We would see more new, unexpected uses of space. With people feeling like their opinions matter, we could also rely on more residents feeling proud enough to want to stay here. Feeling capable is more than useful; it decides the relationship between residents and their city.
On June 7th, the 1001in1 Day Festival is an opportunity to pass those glasses around. The idea—which started in Bogota, Columbia, in 2012—is to make 100 interventions in one day to improve the city. Anyone can organize an intervention, and anyone can take part in them.
“Intervention” is defined broadly. On June 7th in Halifax, there will be a city-wide book-swap, a clothing-swap, a clothing-drive, a plant and antique sale, a hike, young people telling you why sexisms sucks, a workshop on naturalizing yards, bee-keeping lessons, hammocks for you to relax in, people sketching in the park, a new tool library to explore, small-house-sculptures, art-bike installations, and more.
If this city can muster 100 interventions, it will be a fine day to wander the town.
More than an opportunity to have fun, this festival is a way to expose residents to the notion that they can simply decide to do something that is a good idea. One intervention, “Daylighting Dinner,” invites residents of Bloomfield Street to bring their tables out onto the sidewalk and have dinner in public. No complex organizing or equipment will be necessary to make this intervention work, and yet it could, for one afternoon, totally change what it feels like to spend time there.
I wrote in a previous article that quality of life does not depend on how many people could be contributing to their community, but how many people are. This festival is one method for reaching that goal. There is a life-cycle in having an idea, getting people motivated, organizing it, and following through. The more residents see projects move through those stages, the easier it is to decide to make the next idea a reality. The one-day nature of the 100in1 Day Festival creates exposure to that life-cycle in many manageable doses.
The festival will, so to speak, help break the seal for community involvement. For every organizer and every participant, the festival is 100 ways to say “this is possible,” and we need a lot more people saying things are possible.
Seeing streets as malleable is true to the oldest strain of Nova Scotian culture. I was recently taught by Mi’kmaq linguist Bernie Francis that almost everything in Mi’kma’ki are verbs rather than nouns. As a result, a “street” would not sound so much like a permanent object, but a section of pavement and cement that is currently “being a street.” Mi’kma’ki speakers are, therefore, much less likely to assume things will remain the way they are.
If we all spoke Mi’kma’ki, we might all be better residents living in a better city. The 100in1 Day Festival is at least a step in the right direction.

Veteran India pacer Ishant Sharma is currently enjoying his time away from cricket ahead of the five-match Test series against England.
The 32-year-old recently took to his official Instagram handle and shared a video in which he can be seen having fun with his wife Pratima at the St Nectan’s Glen waterfall in Cornwall.
Captioning the video, Ishant wrote, “Exploring new getaways with the best person ever. St Nectan’s Glen.”
Earlier, Ishant Sharma and his better half visited the famous prehistoric monument, Stonehenge, in Wiltshire. They were also accompanied by Mayank Agarwal and his wife, Aashita Sood.
“At the masterpiece of engineering with the folks,” Ishant wrote in a caption.
After their disappointing defeat against New Zealand in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton, Indian players have been granted a three-week break from the challenging bio-bubble life.
Making most of their free time, Virat Kohli and his men are spending quality time with their families in the UK.
Kohli & Co. will assemble in Durham on July 14 to prepare for the upcoming series against the Joe Root-led side before heading to Nottingham for the first Test.
The last time Team India played a Test series against England in England, the visitors lost by 1-4.
Notably, India have not won a Test series in England since 2007.
However, they will be looking to change their fortunes this time around.

Can you imagine a few thousand NFTs based on nothing other than a screenshot from a Twitter account? Here is a collection of 888 Inner Circle, consisting of 8,888 such tokens. Despite the fact that these NFTs are not highly artistic works of art, at the initial stage they were sold out in a few seconds. In addition, the project gained a community of thousands in record time. Such a fast start aroused suspicion in many users, but the opinion of the haters could not affect the reputation of the project.
What is the secret of the 888 Inner Circle project? How does it plan to develop? What does it offer to its members? Read our review to find out the answers to these and other questions.
888 Inner Circle Official Links
- Official website: https://www.888innercircle.com
- Twitter @888InnerCircle – over 18k followers,
- Discord @888innercircle – over 3k subscribers.
What is 888 Inner Circle?
888 Inner Circle project appeared thanks to the efforts of an anonymous cryptocreator under the nickname 888 @crypto888crypto @crypto888crypto. He decided to create a tokenized community where users could have access to their favorite works of digital art and support their development. In doing so, they could become members of a global elite NFT club that would allow them to enjoy all sorts of privileges in both the digital and IRL worlds.
To provide access to such a community, 888 Inner Circle Genesis tokens were issued. The owners of these NFTs automatically became the founding members of the new club, 888 Inner Circle. At the same time, the initiators of the project claim that there are only 888 Original Genesis tokens in the collection, and they are not going to issue any more.
The tokens represent 8,888 releases of the same image. This is a screenshot of 888’s Twitter account, which reached 88.8k followers (in fact, the collection was released in honor of this event). At first, the floor price of tokens was 0.0888 ETH, and then it jumped to a record 1.2 ETH. Many people immediately expressed their indignation at such high price, but among the celebrities there were those who expressed faith in the project, such as the famous socialite Paris Hilton:
— ParisHilton (@ParisHilton) May 8, 2021
888 Inner Circle in numbers
- The public sale of 8,888 tokens took place in September 2021. Then the entire collection was sold out in just a few seconds.
- The entire collection is presented as a single image screenshot of 888’s Twitter account which has reached 88.8k followers.
- The total volume of secondary sales exceeded 20k ETH (more than $37 million at the current exchange rate).
- Floor price is 0.04 ETH (about $70).
- Average sales range from 0.03 ETH to 0.1 ETH.
- A total of 2,108 unique holders (35%).
Data (including exchange rates) are given at the time of publication (March 22, 2023)
Who founded 888 Inner Circle?
The founder of 888 Inner Circle project is considered to be an enigmatic crypto maker and collector who is known in the NFT space under the nickname 888 @crypto888crypto. In early 2021, he began building his own collection of digital art. He purchased art from creators all over the world. 888’s goal was to make an exhibition of the masterpieces sometime in the future to showcase the renaissance of digital art.
Gradually, the anonymous crypto maker created a huge community of like-minded enthusiasts who firmly believed in the possibility of a fusion of art and advanced technology. Seeing this, 888 wondered more and more how he could help digital artists. He was keenly aware that innovative tools were needed to make financial support for such people more accessible. As a result, 888 created The New World Marketplace The New World. What made it unique was that it was the only marketplace created and managed by artists and crypto art pioneers.
The first round of investment for the new project involved iconic individuals and teams:
- FEWOCiOUS @fewocious,
- RTFKT Studios @RTFKTstudios,
- Paris Hilton @parishilton,
- NESS @Ness_Graphics,
- ThankYouX @ThankYouX,
- Frank Wilder @realfrankwilder.
Eventually, 888 realized that he needed to create even more communication opportunities for community members, and launched the 888 Inner Circle project in honor of reaching 88,888 followers on Twitter.
Why is 888 Inner Circle popular?
The popularity of the 888 Inner Circle project is easily explained by the number of benefits community members receive. From the very beginning, they have had access to airdrops, whitelists for future PFP projects, and goodies from upcoming 888 Inner Circle brand partnerships. For example, token holders have been honored with NFT drops from:
SVS x #888innercircle
— Sneaky Vampire Syndicate (@SVSNFT) October 29, 2021
The project is also known for its collaboration with Gala Games. In late 2021, Gala Games announced an NFT drop of The Orbs, which was the product of a collaboration with famed Grammy Award-winning musician BT @BT. It was supposed to be a collection of 3,333 generative NFTs launched in collaboration with 888. The launch was scheduled for Feb. 13, 2022. To get their hands on The Orbs tokens, collectors had to burn three 888 Inner Circle NFTs or buy the tokens at a Dutch auction.
The main value of The Orbs tokens was the ability to create adaptable and unique soundtracks for all occasions, plus they could be used in games in the Gala Games ecosystem.
The Orbs will be designed to generate adaptable and unique soundtracks for any aspect of your life, but will interact with and adapt uniquely to titles throughout the Gala Games ecosystem. Future games on the Gala platform will offer various forms of utility to Orb holders —
— 888 Inner Circle (@888InnerCircle) February 13, 2022
In addition to The Orbs tokens, for every three 888 Inner Circles burned, holders could get free mystery Vials, which would have some utility in Gala Games projects.
SURPRISE 🔮✨ Only for 888 Inner Circle Burn – for each 3 of the 888 Inner Circle Genesis tokens that you burn, you will ALSO receive a FREE mystery Vial 🧪 that will have future utility in Gala Games titles.
— 888 Inner Circle (@888InnerCircle) February 13, 2022
However, it’s worth noting that this initiative was subjected to a wave of criticism due to the high price demanded in the Dutch auction for 888 Inner Circle tokens.
888 Inner Circle Idea
The initial goal of the 888 Inner Circle was to provide exclusive benefits to the creators of the crypto space. However, at the same time, the project creator also wanted to make his club as inclusive as possible, so that new members who share the same values and believe in the possibility of a digital renaissance could join it. By developing a decentralized system focused on crypto artists, the author of 888 Inner Circle contributes to the creation of a community with high creative potential, capable of transforming the NFT world.
In the long term, 888 Inner Circle plans to become a global brand with a wide network of partnerships to provide even more benefits to its members.
888 Inner Circle Roadmap
As such, the project has no roadmap. From a message on the official Medium page of 888 Inner Circle we can understand that because of the scandalous story with The Orbs tokens and the subsequent FUD-campaign against the community, some of the original plans of 888 have lost their relevance. There were planned partnerships with the famous musician Steve Aoki and the Cool Cats NFT project, which at the moment, apparently, are put on pause.
— Steve Aoki (@steveaoki) October 9, 2021
Nevertheless, representatives of the project express their readiness to move forward and intend to relaunch the project. They’re guided by the motto “Promise little and do more”.
One of the new initiatives of the project is #888 InnerArtist Initiative. It’s aimed at providing comprehensive support for crypto artists.
It was an incredibly busy month for us at the #888InnerArtist Initiative. With over 130 Verified Artists now, we've made some major changes to give our artists a bigger voice. Read all about it here in our Feb update: https://t.co/WfIQHVvqMX#888InnerCircle
— 888 Inner Circle (@888InnerCircle) February 28, 2023
As part of this initiative, the following activities were carried out:
- Launching special channels on the Discord server where artists can communicate and collaborate with each other, showcase their art and learn new creative ideas and tips from each other.
- Founding a support fund for emerging artists. The Inner 8, that is, community members who own 888 Inner Circle tokens or more, voted to use the funds in their possession to benefit emerging artists. Each week, The Inner 8 will allocate up to 1 ETH for this purpose.
- Partnering with SparklesNFT @SparklesNFT, Flare’s leading NFT marketplace.
- Weekly Celebrations of Art is an event dedicated to digital art and crypto artists.
In our weekly celebration of art, we have continued to purchase up to 1 ETH of art every week from emerging artists. To date, we have purchased 20 pieces of art, and our latest event has received over 100 submissions, a record for us. Here is the art that we have purchased: pic.twitter.com/bIYidBzUqL
— 888 Inner Circle (@888InnerCircle) December 31, 2022
888 Inner Circle Ecosystem
In February 2022, the Inner Circle team unveiled an ecosystem consisting of 8 Realms, each protected by a Guardian.
The Realms are represented by specific colors, which gives each Realm its own identity. All 8 Realms have private channels on the project’s Discord server and offer unique utility and benefits to their communities.
The Guardians of the Realms include:
- Gala Games,
- Paris Hilton,
The team also announced that it is creating an additional 88,888 seats at the 888 Inner Circle NFT club:
🔥The 888 Inner Circle is expanding with 88,888 new memberships released🎱
— Flare ☀ (@FlareNetworks) January 31, 2022
In connection with this expansion, Inner Circle Genesis token holders are now designated as Platinum Level holders. Inner 8 holders are considered Black Level holders, and new members of the “88 888 expansion” are considered Gold Level holders. However, Inner Genesis token holders remain the most privileged category of the project, and Inner 8 members still have the highest level of benefits.
How much do 888 Inner Circle NFTs cost?
The public sale of the project took place in September 2021. Despite the fact that these NFTs are not high artistic works of art, at the initial stage they were sold out in seconds. And how are things in terms of price dynamics?
For clarity, we made a slice of the average price for 1 NFT:
- In October 2021: 1.5 ETH;
- In March 2022: 0.4 ETH;
- In October 2022: 0.1 ETH;
- In January 2023: 0.05 ETH.
At the moment (March 22, 2023) the floor price is 0.04 ETH. On average, the latest sales range from 0.03 to 0.1 ETH. And the total volume of secondary sales amounted to more than 20k ETH (about $37 million).
The Most Expensive Sales of 888 Inner Circle
It is impossible to single out the most expensive sales in this collection, as the entire collection is presented as 1 unique image in an edition of 8,888 pieces.
Where to buy 888 Inner Circle NFTs?
Currently, 888 Inner Circle NFTs are only available on the secondary market, on marketplaces such as OpenSea, X2Y2 and LooksRare.
How to buy 888 Inner Circle?
- Remember that initially you need to connect your crypto wallet with self-storage to the marketplace of your choice.
- Next, find the official collection using the search bar on the marketplace.
- Analyze and choose the NFT you want to buy; click on it and then on the “Buy” button.
- Or you can bet on the token you like. Make sure you leave enough ETH for gas or transaction fees. If the seller approves your bid, the deal goes through.
Should you invest in 888 Inner Circle?
In the long run, the 888 Inner Circle project can bring a tangible return to a crypto investor. Here are the perks you can count on:
- Drawings of places in the whitelists for PFP-projects from the category of “blue chips”, as well as early access to the top collections (the official site of the project published a photo teaser hinting that the members of the community can get early access to the NFT collection DGFamily by Dolce&Gabbana and UNXD.
- Exclusive drops from The New World Marketplace.
- Virtual events and IRL meetings.
- Premium merch.
- The opportunity to communicate and share creative ideas in private Discord channels.
- A chance to win tokens from the 888 Vault collection;
- Special privileges for Guardians of the Realms.
In any case, do your own in-depth analysis and research when investing in NFTs, and then make your own decision.
Opinion of NFTmetria
888 Inner Circle project can be surely called a phenomenon in the NFT world. The anonymous crypto maker under the mysterious nickname 888, despite the difficult way and waves of hate, managed to build a friendly community of like-minded people and unite it with the idea of digital art revival. And he didn’t stop at promises.
The program initiated by 888 is aimed at providing real financial support to crypto artists and encouraging them to further creative achievements. The 888 Inner Circle project has a huge potential to radically transform the modern NFT space and give it a new impetus.

Destiny Olivia April 7, 2021 Coloring
There are many coloring page themes and subjects to choose from but nothing tops cowboy coloring pages! Boys love cowboys and little girls love them too. Children have been playing cowboys and Indians since the beginning of time. Or how about shoot em’ up? What about a game of ”pow, pow, pow”? It doesn’t matter what you call it. It’s all about being a cowboy. And for every kid who pretends to be a cowboy, you’ll find a lot of hooting and hollering, running around, play toy guns and rifles, rope, and who knows what else. Your child’s imagination is wide open, creative, and bound by nothing. And that’s the beauty of a child.
The Choices in online Children’s Coloring pages, At some websites you’ll find the basic children’s coloring pages that can be printed and colored by hand with crayons, colored pencils, and whatever else. However, you can also find websites that offer interactive coloring pages that require you child to work on the computer itself to fill in the images with colors. Often times, these interactive coloring pages are part of an entire online community and the pages are just one of many things available to do on the website.
Well, if the coloring pages and books that Old People–those of us past the age of twenty-five–used back in the days before they invented weather and when we all knew what a telephone cord was are fading out of mind, they are being reborn on the Internet. Children’s coloring pages are all over the place online. A whole new dimension of coloring and drawing has been opened up with the advent of the Internet.
Coloring environments for animals. The kids in your class are probably used to coloring animals but they might not be used to coloring the environments in which animals live. If you want to teach the kids something about animal habitats this is a great exercise. Split the class up into groups and have each group color a large panorama of a landscape. Place different landscapes and habitats in different parts of the room. Provide pictures to the students so that they have a general idea of the appropriate colors. Then cut out the animals the children have been drawing and attach them to the habitats. The finished product is an attractive image of a wildlife scene that can teach the children a great deal about their favorite animals. It will also help to teach them the importance of preserving habitat.
The list is endless. Every parent desires a rapid development for their children; it’s also part of their responsibility to ensure their children develop by taking them through the necessary tasks. Having understood the role coloring pages play in that child’s development, go and get free coloring pages now for your child’s development!
Help improves Concentration, In children, you can speed up their concentration process by giving them time-long activities to do, of which educational coloring pages is chief. When children sit for long coloring pages to print, it helps the child keep his on one thing and will certainly develop his overall concentration level as time goes on.

Reality Stores coming to local schools
The 2015 Reality Stores have been scheduled for March 10 at Spencer Schools and April 14 at Marshfield Middle School. Eighth-grade students from Auburndale, Columbus Catholic, Greenwood, Immanuel Lutheran, Loyal, Marshfield, Pittsville, Spencer, and St. Joseph Catholic schools will attend the stores. This successful event, originally a Leadership Marshfield project, helps eighth grade students put the puzzle of their future together.
Before the day of the store, students will be assigned an occupation with annual income, benefits, a marital status, combined income, and children. The first lesson students will learn is how to calculate their net monthly income. They deduct state and federal taxes, social security and Medicare, and quickly realize the difference between gross and net income.
As they enter the store, the young shoppers will be greeted by business volunteers representing a variety of monthly expenses. Students arrange for their housing, furnishings, utilities, transportation, childcare, groceries, insurance, and taxes, and will be required to donate to charity and contribute to their savings account. They are allowed to make optional purchases such as computers, motorcycles, pets, and family vacations; assuming, of course, their budget allows for such expenditures. In addition, students are given “chance factors,” the unexpected occurrences that affect a family’s budget, such as emergency room visits, automobile problems, or spontaneous purchases.
Life lessons that occur daily as adults are simulated in the store. During past year’s stores, several students downsized their homes, realized they couldn’t purchase the vehicles they wanted, or gave up other luxuries to make their money balance. Some pursued a part-time job to makes ends meet, discovered a need for social services assistance, or went “back to school” to change careers. Many students are amazed at the added expense of having children!
Most students leave the reality store with an increased awareness of budgeting money and making wise financial choices. Others have admitted they will give more consideration to their career and education choices. Overall, the reality store exposes students to the concept of preparing a monthly budget, with a glimpse of how much things cost and how quickly they add up.
The Reality Stores are “staffed” by area business representatives who “sell” their services to these eighth grade students. For example, realtors sell houses, car dealers sell vehicles, and insurance agents offer home and automobile coverage. While in the store, students have to arrange for day care services, pay municipal taxes and order telephone and electric service as they prepare a monthly budget. Your help is needed as we plan this year’s stores. For more information or to find out how you can get involved, contact Karen Isaacson at 715-384-3454 or email email@example.com.
Debbie Bauer is the program director at Marshfield Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

DFW International Airport Dedicates Most Advanced Airport Operations Center in the World Post 9/11
Facility consolidates communication in one control center; expands mutual aid capabilities for DFW in North Texas and throughout the state
DFW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (April 20, 2006) – With a CareFlight helicopter flying overhead and a fleet of first-responder vehicles lighting the way, DFW International Airport dedicated its new Airport and Emergency Operations Center today, enabling the world's third busiest airport to more efficiently and effectively respond to emergencies at the airport and around Texas. The new $12.4 million facility - the most advanced of any airport in the world - will be the center of daily operations at DFW, with the ability to manage day-to-day operations seamlessly for passengers and respond quickly in the case of an emergency with a more highly coordinated use of both Airport and mutual aid resources.
“DFW is a large and complex enterprise,” said Jan Collmer, DFW International Airport Board Chairman. “This new facility provides us with a unified Department of Public Safety, Airfield, Airport and Emergency Operations Center which will effectively manage daily operations as well as emergencies. This great new facility is now the communications heart of DFW with increased ability to coordinate the massive resources located on our grounds. The professionals located here will coordinate responses to public inquiries from our terminals, airfield maintenance calls, police and fire calls and the coordination of all emergency communications. If and when the Airport is called upon to activate its Emergency Operation Center again, as we have in the past for the space shuttle Columbia accident, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the West Texas wildfires, we’re more prepared than ever. Now, our capabilities to assist our owner cities, surrounding communities and the entire state are even greater.”
DFW has worked over its entire 32-year history to foster positive relationships and develop mutual aid agreements with communities across North Texas. The addition of the new facility will serve as an opportunity to bring together public safety leaders from around the region to further the Airport's efforts to build on the more than 100 mutual aid agreements already in place.
"DFW is always willing to step forward and assist our neighbors in case of emergency,” said Lillie Biggins, DFW International Airport Board Vice Chair. “DFW is a great example of cooperation between Fort Worth and Dallas and between the communities that it serves. After 9/11, it was very clear to everyone that public safety departments need to work more closely together to keep our communities safe. This new facility will serve not only DFW and millions of passengers, but millions of citizens who may never use the Airport. And we're very proud of that."
The facility will house more than two dozen personnel at any given time during the day, with as many as 84 in the building when the Emergency Operation Center is activated. The new 13,950 sq. ft. facility will house four primary operation areas including the Airport Operations Center consisting of 2,785 sq. ft., the Emergency Operations Center capable of seating 33 key staff in its 3,150 sq. ft., Airfield Operations comprising 980 sq. ft., and the 825 sq. ft. DPS dispatch area.
“Integrating the business processes of all of our operations departments has greatly enhanced every aspect of the services we offer to the traveling public and streamlined our emergency response efforts,” said Jim Crites, executive vice president of operations at DFW. “We worked very hard with our FAA counterparts and appreciate all of their help and expertise. The FAA ultimately granted DFW $3.8 million in funding to help build this great facility. What’s more airports are calling me saying they want a consolidated facility for themselves. This will be a great model for our partners across aviation.”
The new Airport Operations Center will be busy the moment it opens today, monitoring more than 10,000 radio transmissions weekly, equivalent to one transmission per minute. The facility will also manages an average of 15 aircraft alerts per month, as well as monitoring terminal paging systems, satellite television and radio, the fire alarm system, airfield lighting systems, closed circuit television, the Storm Sentry Weather Radar system and 1,685 daily phone calls.

Online gambling is growing fast in New Zealand, but critics say new government ideas for regulating websites focus on what’s good for the industry, rather than protecting people from harm.
Hours after attending a close family member’s funeral, Charlotte sat in a car and wept. She wept for who she had lost, but also because the day made her reflect on her own desperate situation. She was in her mid-thirties and over the previous decade had accumulated about $40,000 of debt. Some days she would call in sick to her Wellington job when her card declined at a petrol station and she had no way to make it to the office.
After the funeral in November 2017, as her cheeks dried, she opened Facebook and saw an advert for Mega Moolah, an international online casino promising “free spins”. She created an account, uploaded $10, and tried the virtual slot machines. She played again the next day, and on the third won a relatively small amount – $100 or $200 – she doesn’t remember exactly. “It was a nice distraction from reality. I remember being struck by the pretty colours and fancy music and the thrill of the spinning wheels. I thought, what’s the harm, I’ve got next-to-nothing to my name anyway.”
The win pushed her to keep playing. A part of her believed it was a viable way to earn some money on the side. A few weeks later she won $5000. “That was worth one of my credit card debts, so I started to hope I could pay off more.”
It was the start of a gambling problem – one she says unfolded in three stints. This first stint, which started after the funeral, lasted about four months. She was obsessive. “I was playing every day, for hours and hours, and every time I logged back in it was like going back into the same dark place. It was an escape from feeling alone in the world.”
Eventually, somehow, she managed to stop – banning herself from the site. She didn’t tell anyone.
As more New Zealanders pour money into overseas casino websites and betting agencies – an incredible $381 million through offshore operators in the past 18 months – the government has announced it wants to review the 2003 Gambling Act to make sure it keeps up with technological changes.
On 31 July, the Department of Internal Affairs released a discussion document suggesting four options for reform. But critics say it is more focused on what’s good for the economy, than reducing harm from gambling. Indeed, three of the options would lead to more gambling products being made directly available to New Zealanders. The fourth proposes retaining the status quo.
Right now, Lotto and the TAB are the only legal online gambling providers. The first of the government’s three reform options would allow either to offer more online gambling products, such as an online casino, to persuade gamblers to return to the New Zealand market.
The second would allow new licensed operators into the New Zealand market. One could be SkyCity, which this month launched a Malta-based online casino. The company says it would happily move the new website to New Zealand if it was allowed, and until then will rely on people finding it via Google searches.
The third option would allow international operators, with sites like Mega Moolah, for instance, to apply for New Zealand licences. The DIA admits it would probably rely on “voluntary compliance”, but says “increased international competition would ensure New Zealanders were offered good betting odds and promotions”.
The public submissions period lasts until the end of September.
Charlotte’s second problem gambling stint began only a few months after her first ended. Her financial troubles hadn’t eased and life still felt like a struggle. She decided to “dabble” again, yet “pushed and pushed and pushed” herself to play more. The same sickening feeling returned as she spent more and more on the digital slot machines. Then she won an $80,000 jackpot.
Charlotte paid off her debt and started making plans for the remainder of the money, flirting with the idea of buying her own home.
But guilt soon replaced joy. She says the money began to feel “dirty”. She would tell herself, “You’re single, you don’t need to spend money on a house,” or, “You still don’t have enough for anything meaningful.”
She sighs. “You would like to think that a functional and intelligent human being working full-time would be able to stop after winning $80,000.”
According to Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Health is reporting “low numbers” of people asking for help with online gambling, but Problem Gambling Foundation spokesperson Andree Froude says that’s because online gambling is a new, burgeoning world and we’re yet to see the extent of the problem.
“The very nature of online gambling is hidden – you can carry around a betting agency in your pocket.” You can gamble in bed, at work, or on the toilet.
The value of international online gambling is expected to more than double between 2017 and 2024, while in New Zealand, the prevalence of online gambling is mushrooming. Last year, Lotto attracted new customers by introducing online scratchies and Texas Hold’em poker, while in January, the TAB unveiled a platform that included a raft of new betting options, and features like “Cashout” and more live streaming.
In its most recent financial report, the NZ Racing Board, which operates the TAB, said its digital channels now make up 60 percent of its betting turnover. Its mobile app is the fastest growing “customer touch point” – up 59 percent, or $47.2m, in a year. Its annual report boasted advertising campaigns had led to almost 80,000 first-time bettors. The TAB declined to comment for this story.
New Zealand isn’t the only country grappling with the rise of online gambling. In the UK, where both domestic and international providers are licenced, the Labour Party’s deputy leader Tom Watson recently delcared online gambling addiction a “hidden epidemic”. Several MPs and campaigners want limits on the amount people can bet, while the Gambling Commission there is currently considering banning credit cards.
Australia has banned live-betting during games and events, and people are unable to play at online poker rooms or online casinos. Yet that’s led to rampant offshore gambling, which could grow close to $AU1 billion in spending next year.
Internal Affairs is clear it’s not aiming to reduce the power of Lotto and the TAB, but does mention two new options for protecting people from harm: restricting the use of credit cards on gambling sites, and banning certain sites on public wifi. It also suggests extending problem gambling education, or funding more problem gambling services.
That doesn’t go nearly far enough for those who have seen the damage gambling can wreak, especially as it comes just after another government decision that caused concern.
Last year, a report commissioned by racing minister Winston Peters made several recommendations to reverse the decline of racing. The report ultimately found people should be encouraged to spend more at the TAB, and on new online products like virtual horse racing. It also recommended the government waive the $13 million betting levy the NZ Racing Board pays every year, as a “clear signal of its support” for the racing industry. In May, Peters annonced the government had approved scrapping the levy.
Now, the Problem Gambling Foundation’s Froude says Internal Affairs’ reform discussion document is also focusing on industry rather than protecting people. “We don’t want to see an increase in online gambling opportunities, because almost certainly that [would] lead to an increase in harm.”
Froude says the few harm reduction measures in the discussion document are helpful – “Banning credit cards is a good start, as they’re an easy way for people to get into debt” – but says stronger measures are needed. “We don’t want to keep being the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.”
Haylee Koroi, a Māori public health advisor in gambling harm, also says harm minimisation clearly isn’t the focus of the DIA’s discussion document. “The government has given us four options and one of them focuses on expanding what already exists, and two are about opening the market. I don’t think the harm aspect has been thought through.”
Internal affairs minister Tracey Martin has a matter-of-fact opinion of gambling. “My personal view is that humans have done it since time immemorial. We’re never going to stop it, so therefore we have to manage it.”
She, like the Problem Gambling Foundation, believes online gambling is a bigger issue than what’s being reported. “I do think it’s a hidden problem, and with all due respect to the Ministry of Health, we’re basically waiting for people to get harmed before we decide it’s a problem. Right now, we’re not able to see those people who are drifting towards harm.”
Online gambling “could be far more dangerous to New Zealanders than [gaming machines] have ever been because it is unregulated”, she says.
Yet, she concedes the DIA’s discussion document doesn’t so much focus on ways to prevent harm, as look at options that work for industry. “The dollar value being lost overseas is one of the motivators,” she says.
Nevertheless, she’s urging people to take some of the responsibility for reducing harm. “I’m hoping that people won’t be stopped by what they’ve been asked to comment on, but suggest potential solutions themselves… I’m the last person to suggest I’m an expert on what is actually possible and what is the best way to minimise harm, particularly in offshore online gambling.”
While a law change could take months or even more than a year, Martin seems to be leaning towards a licensing system that would allow new operators into the New Zealand market. She says they would need to obey three principles. “I want trusted providers, community benefit and harm minimisation.” If that happens, the government could then look at introducing caps on how much people can spend, as well as getting a clearer picture of who is gambling on what.
Māori public health advisor Haylee Koroi says that while taxing new operators would increase the financial benefit for problem gambling services and community sport, “even that argument is weak in itself, because I’m not sure it would offset the harm caused by new markets.”
She says it’s also a “huge assumption” that offering New Zealanders new products in a regulated system is going to stop people heading to offshore casino sites like Mega Moolah.
Earlier this year, the government said it would spend an extra $60 million on problem gambling services, though Koroi says, “I also hope we can talk about how gambling is often a symptom of wider issues, like mental health, stress, or other trauma, often in high-deprivation areas.”
Charlotte’s third gambling stint began in March this year. By this point, she had stopped using Mega Moolah and banned herself from many other sites of its ilk, but in moments of weakness she found new online casinos ready to take her money. In the space of three or four months, she spent $20,000.
When she had earlier won $80,000, Charlotte told a couple of friends about her big pay day. She didn’t mention how much she’d lost – it was easier telling people about winning. But deep down it was also a cry for help, she says. She waited so long to open up because she feared being judged and perceived as weak. She told her friends with a smile on her face, but they made her promise never to gamble again. In March she broke that promise.
A couple of months ago she met up with those friends. “At one point they asked about my financial situation and I didn’t know how to lie to them, so I completely broke down in tears. ‘It’s gambling, isn’t it?’ they asked.” It was a relief to nod.
Charlotte asked for anonymity when speaking to RNZ. She’s now almost two months “gamble-free” but those two friends remain the only ones who know about her struggles. She’s seeing a counsellor and going to support groups. She says she’s met a lot of mothers and housewives who secretly gamble at home, whether as attempts to help their family’s finances, or simply to pass the time. “I never wanted to admit that I was that type of person. I’ve never hated myself as much as when I was gambling on these sites.”
She’s still terrified of relapsing. “The accessibility and how quickly it can escalate scares the life out of me. It’s just right there at my fingertips.”

|Studio album by Ab-Soul|
|Released||May 11, 2012|
TDE Recording Studio: House of Pain
|Label||Top Dawg Entertainment|
Control System is the second studio album by American rapper Ab-Soul. It was released on May 11, 2012, by Top Dawg Entertainment. The album features guest appearances from Jhené Aiko, Danny Brown, Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock, BJ the Chicago Kid, Kendrick Lamar, JaVonte, Punch, Ashtrobot and vocals from the late Alori Joh. The album's production was handled by Digi+Phonics, King Blue, Nez & Rio, Skhye Hutch, Curtiss King, Aahyasis, and Tommy Black.
The album is Ab-Soul's fourth full-length project, which was preceded by numerous promotional singles, the first being "Black Lip Bastard" on January 17, 2012. The song was produced by Willie B. On February 28, 2012, Ab-Soul, along with Schoolboy Q, appeared on Sway Calloway's #SwayInTheMorning radio show, where Ab-Soul called "Black Lip Bastard": "pretty much one of the title tracks", the song, however, failed to make the album's final track listing. The first song that appears on the album, to be released was "Showin' Love", also produced by Willie B. On April 6, 2012, Ab-Soul released the track, titled "Terrorist Threats". The song features frequent collaborator Jhené Aiko and Danny Brown, who proclaimed on Twitter that "Black Hippy the new Beatles and I'm Harry Nilsson".
On April 17, 2012, Ab-Soul revealed the album's title to be Control System and unveiled the release date to be May 11, 2012. That same day he also released a music video for "Pineal Gland", a song inspired by the psychedelic drug DMT and of course the pineal gland, a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain theorized to store natural reserves of DMT in mammals. On April 24, 2012, another single, by the title of "SOPA" was released. The song, produced by Nez & Rio, references Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a United States bill introduced by US Representative Lamar S. Smith, that would've allowed the US government controversial control over the internet.
On May 1, 2012, Ab-Soul released another music video for a song titled "Empathy"; the song features vocals from JaVonte and his late friend and girlfriend Alori Joh, who committed suicide in February 2012. On May 4, 2012, it was revealed "Black Lip Bastard" was remixed and will feature his Black Hippy cohorts, Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q. On May 8, 2012, his collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, titled "Illuminate" was released. The music video would be released on January 15, 2013. The day before the album's release Ab-Soul revealed the track listing and released snippets from the album. The album, as written on the back cover, is "Dedicated to the beautiful soul of Loriana Angel Johnson aka Alori Joh"
Throughout 2011 and 2012, Ab-Soul was working on his second album. He had recorded the songs "Empathy" and "A Rebellion" with Alori Joh. On February 7, 2012, it was reported a young woman committed suicide by leaping from a radio tower; the woman was later identified as Loriana Johnson, also known as Alori Joh. In a June 2012 interview with HipHopDX, Ab-Soul publicly spoke on Joh's death and how it impacted him and the album: "I was actually pretty much done with the project before that happened. Luckily for me and all of us cause I definitely don't think I would have been able to put it out in the time that I did. It was difficult. It's still very difficult. She helps me out with all of my projects. It's a very difficult thing to get over but at the same time this is what we've been - we, me and her, were working on for the majority of the time I've known her. She was one of my biggest supporters so I feel like I owe her and I owe everybody else that's taken a liking to what we're doing." "The Book of Soul" was of the last tracks that he recorded on the project, he touches on a couple topics throughout his life, with Alori Joh being the main subject over a jazzy instrumental produced by Tommy Black.
Upon its release, Control System received universal acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 83, based on 10 reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim." The album was named the 20th best of 2012 by Complex Magazine.Spin Magazine named the album the twelfth best hip hop album of 2012. Robert Christgau ranked the album 46th on his 2012 "Dean's List".

I wrote “Coming Back” on a lonesome, wintery night when I was pondering myself, the past and the lingering quiet of my bedside. This poem reflects the communion among my mind, body and self. In these moments, I feel healthy, enlightened and wholesome with my whole being in perfect alignment. However, these things only occur on rare occasions. In the daily grind of life, it’s harder to be introspective and find answers from our hovering thoughts passing by the corners of the mind.
With the little time that we are alone with ourselves, we are puzzled and undecided. We unintentionally and frantically rummage through the mounds of past memories, thoughts and feelings. We have a taste of sorrow on our tongue, a sorrow that perhaps arises from the uncertainty of the self, the fixed rigorous routine of everyday life or the loss of memories that we want to tightly embrace.
The title of my poem evokes the idea of reaching this space, nestled somewhere in the back of my mind. It’s all I have left behind, that’s still green and flourishing. It’s where dreams are sown wholeheartedly and magically, where anxiety is remote and far away, where peace, integrity and confidence build their homes in my cells. In the concluding line “Coming Back,” I re-emphasize this idea of feeling whole, as a Gestalt, once I complete my search for my mental temple.

And I yearn for a monsooned
Frescoes of light shining through my windows,
Not rubbed by hectic hands — hesitation, hurry, the
Hustling humidity of
Its uncanny, stony rigidity,
Let this be home — like a glasshouse —
Fertile sapling self-soothing in faith,
Weightless, lighter than dorsal dreams
Collecting the wandering vagrancies of the body and the self.

How insufficient sleep affect our daily life?
A healthy person needs 8 hours of sleep per night. But it varies from person to person; today many people are suffering from sleep deprivation. Lack of sleep causes mental stress, loss of appetite, and lack of concentration. It affects physical health but we usually ignore it.
Recent articles tell us that changes in heart’s function are caused just because of sleep deprivation. Healthy radiologist research on their hearts, imaged before and after working 24 hours in which they rest only three hours. Then they compared both images that revealed increase in heart strain, which can cause heart problems. Their heart rate, blood pressure, and thyroid hormones also increased. Insomnia is one of the dangerous side effects of lack of sleep.
Effects of Insomnia
This new research compels us to think about importance of healthy sleep. Insomnia not only affects our heart, but it also affects our immune and nervous system. Chronic sleep deprivation is more dangerous than occasional sleep deprivation as it can harm our body. Sleeping is as important as eating food and breathing. Maximum sleep makes a person feels healthy, and fresh. Lack of sleep leaves a bad impact on brain and if it continues our immune system becomes weak and hence we get more exposed to different diseases.
When we are sleeping our immune system produces cells and antibodies which help to protect us from foreign viruses and bacteria. Insufficient sleep weakens our immune system it increases the risk of getting ill and hence recovery takes a longer period. Even the risk of long- term diseases gets higher. Therefore, we need sufficient sleep for repairing cells and tissues, and for growth hormones that are released in children and adults during sleep, especially for those in puberty and growing children.
On the other hand, appetite stimulant, cortical and gherkin are released due to insufficient sleep. These two chemicals if combined cause obesity and weight gain. A healthy child needs enough sleep. Inadequate sleep makes skin older and eyes swollen. Higher cortical level, damages skin, and protein that keep skin smooth. Excessive sleep loss leads to dark circles, pale skin, and weakness. It makes recovery from ultraviolet (UV) exposure slower.
Hypertension also results in loss of sleep. According to Harvard medical school, elevated blood pressure is caused by losing one night sleep. Hence, sleep is a very important factor for a healthy person. Researchers came to know that a person, who took more than 14 minutes in falling asleep, will have greater risk of high blood pressure.
Other major disorders of deficient sleep are depression and anxiety; their symptoms are lack of interest, leaving a person sad and hopeless. Anxiety and depression are the most common effects of sleep deprivation, but it is curable, it can be treated by changing one’s lifestyle.
Stay away from caffeine and pills
Sometimes our food plays a vital role in our sleep disorders. For example, caffeine is a stimulant its intake before night causes sleeps disorders. The chronic causes are back pain, reflux, asthma and hyperthyroidism. Research of National Sleep Foundation 2005, reveals that those people who use more than four cups of caffeinated drinks a day are at a higher risk of insomnia symptoms than those who use zero to one cup.
In some cases sleeping pills can relax you for a short period of but, its excess can change your lifestyle for a long period of time. Sleeping pills should not be the first choice for chronic insomnia treatment. Doctors recommend sleeping pills for a short time. Adopting new habits and change in lifestyle is much better than addiction of sleeping pills.
The Excess of sleep can harm our health, but we need at least 30 minutes nap in a day before 3 pm. We should also avoid spicy food before sleep because it causes heart burn; fat-rich food should be taken at least two hours before we sleep.
Last but not the least the best way to regulate body activity is exercise.

At the retreat, your mind will slow down and you will learn for yourself that you are the one causing all that stress and anxiety and you will leave the retreat knowing how to deal with it and eliminate it. You will become the master of your mind instead of its servant.

The Civil War and Reconstruction Era, 1845-1877 (HIST 119)
Having dealt with the role of violence and the Supreme Court in bringing about the end of Reconstruction in his last lecture, Professor Blight now turns to the role of national electoral politics, focusing in particular on the off-year Congressional election of 1874 and the Presidential election of 1876. 1874 saw the return of the Democrats to majority status in the Senate and the House of Representatives, as voters sick of corruption and hurt by the Panic of 1873 fled the Republicans in droves. According to many historians, the contested election of 1876, and the "Compromise of 1877," which followed it, marked the official end of Reconstruction. After an election tainted by fraud and violence, Republicans and Democrats brokered a deal by which Republican Rutherford B. Hayes took the White House in exchange for restoration of "home rule" for the South.

Some two hours north-west of Belgrade, almost at the border with Croatia, Bac’s mighty fortress juts out majestically from the fields and tree-lined streets of this quiet town. As you approach, its damaged towers overlook one-storey homes from which elderly ladies snoop on visitors, probably with the passion of medieval guards.
Although its current size and sleepy vibe would suggest otherwise, this town was mighty once. One of the oldest cities in Vojvodina, Serbia’s northern province located in the Pannonian plains, Bac gave its name to the surrounding region, Backa, located between the Tisa and the Danube. Despite its many great sights, the town is not widely known around Serbia which makes it perfect for a history geek day trip.
Bac was first mentioned in 6th Century Byzantine chronicles, however the history of its famous fortress probably dates back to the 9th Century when it was inhabited by the Pannonian Avars, one of the many nomadic tribes that settled in the region after the fall of the Roman Empire. In the following centuries the town and the fortress gained prominence and were frequented by Hungarian royalty and used as a place for entertainment.
In the 12th Century, Bac was a booming city and an Arab geographer at the court of King Roger II of Sicily, al-Idrisi, described it as a prosperous, highly cultured place in one of his guides to Europe. The fortress was rebuilt in the 14th Century to protect the region from the Serbian and later Ottoman armies. It remained largely intact throughout the Ottoman reign and Habsburg re-conquest, but was blown up during a Rakoczi’s rebellion in the 18th Century, when Hungarian nobles rebelled against the Habsburgs. Since then the city never quite recovered.
Another remarkable medieval landmark in Bac is its Franciscan monastery, which was originally founded by the Templars during the town’s heyday in the 12th Century. It was built on the spot of the town’s old cathedral and it contained the first hospital in the whole of the Pannonian plains before it was sacked by Mongols. It was rebuilt in mixed Romanesque and Gothic style and its honey-coloured tower still looks over the town. The monastery will open for public visits after an extensive renovation in May 2019.
Close to the monastery is the house where the oldest pharmacy in Vojvodina was founded, and the baroque church dedicated to St Paul, as well as a former catholic convent.
Uniquely for Vojvodina, the town also has the remains of a 17th Century Ottoman hammam. Although it is largely a ruin overgrown with weeds, you can still make out the plumbing and steam baths where the locals relaxed. Just across the Mostonga river from the hammam, there is an eerie medieval gothic gate which marked the old entrance to the fortress precinct. Behind the gate is Kalvarija – a complex of shrines dominated by three crosses, representing the Stations of the Cross and the Passion of Christ.
In the unlikely case that you haven’t had enough history in the town’s tiny centre, there is Bodjani monastery some 15 kilometres west from the town. The monastery is not only beautifully decorated with frescoes, but also contains an icon of the Virgin Mary, which is believed to cure infertility.
When you decide to unwind from sightseeing, you should head out to nearby Karadjordjevo, but even there you will not be able to escape history.
The tiny village is famous for its hunting grounds and a stud farm, now part of a military-owned resort, which attracted grandees after its foundation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The resort also contains a villa built by former Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito where he hosted Queen Elizabeth II during her state visit in 1972. It was also the place where the then met in 1991 to discuss the future of Yugoslavia.
Apart from the storied past, the resort offers hearty game dishes and a chance to unwind while being driven in old-fashioned carriages, before heading back home from this wonderful historic region.
