Otherwise, a 30-minute switchback-fueled bus ride from Aguas Calientes is primarily the only way to get there on the day of your check out. Day 7 will be the longest of the days, nonetheless, not too demanding. Participants will trek via a second passage upon which the archaeological remains of Runkuracay can be found original site at 3,800 meters of altitude. These ancient ruins are really exciting, as they have a single entry with seven separate accesses to their respective rooms. Following this exploration, participants will descend to Laguna Yanacocha and arrive at Sayaqmarca.
Otherwise, if you’re creating your personal way from Lima to Cusco, you can opt to take a domestic flight or a bus. Tickets are accessible to buy in Aguas Calientes or, to save yourself queueing, you can also book them on line in advance. Lastly, you can also acquire tickets in any Peruvian City at a branch of the Banco de Nacion. Inevitably this isn’t well-policed having said that, so a further of the reasons I recommend choosing the early ticket slots is mainly because there’s simply less people today in the website then. With a 7am ticket, you have from 7am until 8am to attain the bottom gate at Machu Picchu. With a 6am ticket, you have from 6am until 7am to attain the bottom gate at Machu Picchu.
PeruRail can also store luggage at Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes station, if you have to have to do so. If you are traveling to Machu Picchu by train, maintain in mind, there are essentially restrictions on baggage on PeruRail (carry-on luggage only). There are a quantity of distinctive ways to get to Machu Picchu – normally persons make their way from Lima to Cusco via bus or a flight, and then from Cusco towards Machu Picchu. Right here are some of the most effective techniques to get your Machu Picchu tickets. Artefacts contain an original National Geographic magazine published in 1913, completely dedicated to Machu Picchu. Note that this is also a tougher climb, and it requires longer, also.
To verify your Machu Picchu tickets 2022 on the Official Web-site, you can certify if the ticket code is on the official web page of the Ministry of Culture of Peru. On the day of getting into the Inca City, the guardians will use readers to check if this code matches their individual data. Keep in mind, if you are not making use of a non-foreign transaction fee card, you might be paying up to 3% in additional costs. You have three hours to make the payment of this reservation otherwise your reservation will be canceled automatically. This ticket consists of only the entrance to the Machu Picchu citadel, which can be made use of many instances respecting the ticket issuance date and taking into account the access instances to the Machu Picchu Sanctuary. This museum is located in the middle of the road that connects the town of Aguas Calientes with Machu Picchu .
The only important Inca web page to escape 400 years of looting and destruction, it was remarkably effectively preserved. It sat in an inaccessible location above the Urubamba Gorge, and contained so several fine buildings that individuals have puzzled over its which means ever given that. On the other hand, current researches published in 2008 claim that Bingham was not the initial to find out Machu Picchu. A nearby man, Agustin Lizarraga was the 1 who discovered Machu Picchu in 1902, as it was identified written on 1 stone of Machu Picchu temple. In 1911, American explorer Hiram Bingham arrived in the Sacred Valley and was guided along the Urubamba River and up the now renowned mountainside to the citadel by a duo of neighborhood peasant farmers.
On our very first trip to Peru, we took the 21-hour bus from Lima to Cusco to keep away from altitude sickness . Our trip on Peruvian bus firm, Cruz del Sur, was really comfortable (akin to an airline’s small business class) and we had no complains. Cusco is the gateway to Machu Picchu, but it’s nonetheless 3.five hours away from the archaeological web page. Invest at least 3 days in Cusco to acclimatize prior to heading to Machu Picchu.
As the town is a small pricey, I remembered from the very first time that I came the place of the industry… Considering the fact that the town isn’t incredibly massive, it is not challenging to obtain your way about. There we ate pork rind with potatoes and Andean cream at a reasonable price tag. In the whole area of Machu Picchu, there are numerous cisterns and fountains of water called “pacchas, ” styled out of stone and interconnected by canals and drains perforated in the stone.
This interesting Inca ruin is located on a cliff top rated exactly where panoramic views of the Acobamba valley and snow covered Pumasillo can be enjoyed. Accessing this viewpoint needs a climb up a steep and solid stone staircase located on the edge of the mountain. Participants will walk along Conchamarka, a small and not too long ago discovered archaeological ruin, and will pass through the camp of Chakicocha, a spacious region with public toilets and water. Participants will uncover the first tunnel measuring 20 meters in length with rock carved methods. The path continues in an ascent to the Citadel of Phuyupatamarca which translates into the “village above the clouds”, an original citadel of the Inca Trail. It is surrounded by clouds and positioned on a gorge overlooking the Urubamba.
“Life in Machu Picchu was performed outdoors the house,” Guerra says, which accounts for the fairly small footprints of the residential buildings. Through their conquests, they destroyed lots of Inca sacred web sites, commonly replacing them with Catholic churches. 1 of the reasons that we can take a look at Machu Picchu these days is mainly because the Spanish never discovered this citadel. The preservation of Machu Picchu can be credited to the site’s remote place, but there is also evidence that suggests that the Incas themselves may possibly have burned pathways leading to the internet site. Machu Picchu in Peru is on quite a few people’s list of places to check out.
Severe harm from flooding and landslides in early 2009 dramatised the dangers of the unregulated growth of the village. In that year an Emergency Action Strategy for Danger Reduction and Disaster Recovery for Machu Picchu village incorporating a warning technique and evacuation procedures was completed. There have been delays in reviewing the master strategy, which is ineffective, and in building detailed yearly operational plans as the funding for these is inadequate. The management had not supplied a operate plan or Environmental Adjustment Program as needed by the government.
On July 23, Bingham and his celebration camped by the river at a place referred to as Mandor Pampa, where they aroused the curiosity of Melchor Arteaga, a local farmer who leased the land there. The old city is notable for both pre-Columbian and Spanish colonial architecture, with a lot of Spanish buildings built directly on leading of the earlier Inca ones. Even though the tourist-centric old city is little and walkable, the broader city is dwelling to nearly 430,000 men and women.
This paperwork from the Peruvian State showed the mountain’s recorded name ‘Picchu’. It got this name for the reason that of the age and state of abandonment of the structures. The initially westerner to discover Machu Picchu was an American Academic named Hiram Bingham. With funding from the university, he began an expedition in Peru in 1911.
I walked about town and was directed to the office of the Ministry of Culture at the town square. I waited in line and I asked if it was attainable to purchase tickets for Machu Picchu to take a look at the same day. They said they did but I ended up purchasing my own train tickets to Aguas Caliente. I arrived in Aguas Caliente without an entrance ticket to Machu Picchu.

For her production, director Molly Smith set out to cast actors of color for the role of Eliza Doolittle (and her father, Alfred) from the start—adding additional depth to the musical’s existing themes of classism and sexism. To do so, she had her literary team do some research on Edwardian London’s racial and ethnic demographics. This nontraditional casting is a perfect historical fit.
After researching London in the time Edwardian Era and discovering the large pockets of Asian immigrants, the director concentrated on casting Asian-American actors for the roles.
“Anytime casting is done in a different way, it confronts the audience. We want the theatre to grab us and make us question our preconceptions,” said Smith. [source]
Nichols is of mixed race; her mom is Chinese American and her dad is part Native American and part white; the role of Eliza, a cockney-accented flower seller, has been traditionally played by white actresses in hundreds of productions, including by Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn.To prepare for the role, Nichols researched the era the show is set in and also studied George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion.
When asked by a journalist from Washington City Paper about a racial “double standard” in her casting, Nichols said:
“No one ever questions the logic or the reality of a group of people singing and tap-dancing in the rain, but if a director casts an Asian person in a [typically white] role, people automatically question that choice.”
The production also decided to incorporate elements of steampunk into the costuming. (Less historically accurate than an Asian Eliza, but also awesome.) All in all, a creative and innovative take on a musical classic that deserves kudos.

We already cleared up the exclusive nonsense, but today Sony has told Eurogamer that the PS3 version of Mirror’s Edge will have exclusive DLC, via the PSN, in much the same way that Grand Theft Auto IV has on the 360. Except the stuff for Mirror’s Edge will eventually see the light of day.
Sony said “PlayStation has an exclusive marketing agreement with EA regarding the title” and followed with “exclusive downloadable content will be offered on the PlayStation Network.” Interestingly, EA aren’t ready to talk about this yet.
Ready or not, what Eurogamer didn’t expand on is the ‘marketing agreement’ – that’s something that only Amazon seem to be privy to – yet another PS3 bundle does indeed appear to be in the making, whether it’s an official Sony one or not we don’t know. And it’s Tuesday, so we’re too busy flossing to ask SCEE.

As the summer season is over, our MEPs come back to Brussels this week full of energy to take on several topics on economy, agriculture, employment, and transport among other issues. Check out the agenda here.
The Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee will discuss introducing an EU framework for crowdfunding service providers to enable crowdfunding platforms to offer their services throughout Europe and to unlock early stage financing for businesses.
The Budgets Committee will vote on mobilising €34 million from the EU Solidarity Fund for Greece, Poland, Lithuania and Bulgaria, which were all hit by natural disasters in 2017.

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced an aggregate award of approximately $3 million to two whistleblowers whose information and assistance led to a successful SEC enforcement action. The whistleblowers separately and independently provided SEC staff with valuable information and ongoing assistance, which included participating in multiple interviews with the staff and providing helpful documents.
“Today’s whistleblowers played an instrumental role in helping the SEC bring this important action,” said Emily Pasquinelli, Acting Chief of the SEC’s Office of the Whistleblower. “The first whistleblower provided information early in the investigation and helped SEC staff develop its case and focus its resources, while the second whistleblower helped staff uncover misappropriated funds and fraudulent transfers.”

DeKALB – During the past two years, Northern Illinois football is 24-4.
The Huskies have won the Mid-American West each year, and won the conference championship title in 2012 while making a BCS bowl appearance in the process.
Last season started out great – NIU won its first 12 games and was boised to make a second consecutive BCS appearance, before the Huskies lost to Bowling Green in the MAC Championship game and suffered a second defeat against Utah State in the Poinsettia Bowl.
Despite the overall success the program has had recently, senior tailback Cameron Stingily still feels like the Huskies still need to show the rest of the college football world what the program is about.
"As a team, I feel everyone has something else to prove, 12-2 is a good sason but how it ended wasn't what we wanted," Stingily said during NIU's annual media day in DeKalb. "We've got to stop taking the MAC Championship for granted because we've been there so many times. Now we've got to go there and compete."
Stingily said the rough stretch at the end of last season stuck with him all throughout the offseason, which is coming to a halt. The Huskies open preseason practice 2:30 p.m. today at Huskie Stadium, and will hold 23 practices from today until Aug. 21. After that, preparation starts for the season opener against Presbyterian on Aug. 28.
"Going to [MAC] Media Day, seeing Bowling Green with their rings and walking around with their chest out knowing that they won the MAC, that was annoying, made me mad a little bit," Stingily said. Carey said he hopes the team does something on the field about the "chip on the shouder."
"I hope they feel that way, that would be great," Carey said. "It's one thing to feel that way, it's another thing to act that way. We're about ready to get going with the acting, which is good."
Stingily said the fact he and the rest of the Huskies still have something to prove says a lot about where the program is at these days. NIU has won the MAC West every year since 2010.
"It shows that we're dedicated to winning," said Stingily, who ran for 1,119 yards in 2013. "You come here, you're definitely going to be in a position to win. Nothing's going to be given to you, you're going to be able to compete. If you're a competitor, you'll love it here."

text: A self-report measure of dispositional optimism, the Life Orientation Test, was administered to a group of 202 Hong Kong undergraduates. Consistent with prior findings, factor analysis yielded a two-factor solution with all positively worded items loaded on the first factor and all the negatively worded items loaded on the second. Prediction of physical symptom reports from scores on the two subscales was then tested with 85 subjects randomly selected from the original sample. Only the complete test and the subscale defined by the positively phrased items predicted symptom levels concurrently as well as prospectively over 3 wk. The negative subscale suggested by previous research as tapping pessimism rather than dispositional optimism showed no significant correlation with symptom levels. Moreover, when scores of the positive rather than the negative subscale were controlled, the significant correlation between scores on the Life Orientation Test and symptom reports was eliminated. These findings suggested a multidimensional view of the test and that the positive subscale may be sufficient to measure optimism validly. Implications of these for the personality dimensions of positive versus negative affectivity are also discussed.

Shelley joins Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn as occupational therapist after being inspired by NHS staff who cared for her
- Credit: Archant
A woman whose occupational therapists helped her recover from a serious spine injury has decided to join their ranks.
Shelley Faulkner, 31, suffered serious spinal and arm injuries and doctors feared that she could be left paralysed after a car crash four years ago. But thanks to the care provided by therapists at the hospitals which cared for her she recovered.
Her experience inspired her to become an occupational therapist and she has just started work at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in King's Lynn.
'During my recovery, the occupational therapists were really positive with me and gave me hope that my left arm would work again,' she said.
'I was given the responsibility as a patient to move forward and that felt really reassuring and made me start to think that I would like to give something back. All the health professionals are in it for the patients. You join the NHS as you care about people and want the best for them. The thought that I could help a person to appreciate every aspect of their life and become a motivation drew me to this profession.'

Miss Faulkner needed a number of operations, including screws and rods inserted into her neck, and a metal plate in her arm.
She said her occupational therapist inspired her recovery. Almost two years after the accident, she began an occupational therapy course at the University of the West of England.
She has now joined the QEH in King's Lynn, covering different wards and the community.
'I enjoy talking to the patients, their families and relatives,' she said. 'I am also enjoying being part of the team as a newly qualified occupational therapist. It is also a really proud moment to see my name and profession on my tunic.'
QEH medical director Nick Lyon said: 'We are pleased to welcome such an inspirational and determined professional as Shelley to be part of Team QEH.'

MSU's coach says failed fake punt called Frozen; team should 'let it go'
Michigan State tried an ill-fated fake punt attempt during its 45-31 victory over the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday, and coach Mark Dantonio says the play's name proved to have been more apt than he expected.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Dantonio revealed that the play was named after the recent Disney hit movie Frozen, according to The Detroit News.
"I guess we froze," [Dantonio] continued. "Gotta let it go, I guess."
The team ran the play on its own 29-yard line while facing a fourth-and-6 in the fourth quarter, an odd situation to deploy a fake, but a decision Dantonio defended after the game, MLive.com reports.

Sightseeing and Things to do in London
To pick out one or two things to do in london from a list so long and extensive is extremely difficult, but there's no denying that a day out around london's West End is a must as much for visitors as it is for londoners themselves. Shopping, entertainment and much more awaits.
As big and busy as it is, sightseeing in london can also include some stunning green spaces, one of the largest and finest of which is Regents Park. The park borders vibrant Camden Town and is also home to london Zoo, but just time spent wandering around its tranquil gardens is the perfect balance to the fast-pace of life elsewhere.
Introduction to london
As iconic as it is ancient, the city of london is one of the largest, most-visited and best-loved cities on Earth.
Home to nearly ten million people, to say nothing of the millions more who visit from all over the world each year, the city is a seemingly endless, sprawling mass in which virtually every taste can be satisfied.
From the world-famous Underground and the host of historic and royal properties so beloved by tourists on london tours to the cutting edge and avant-garde art galleries and boutiques that provide the lifeblood for areas such as Camden Town, there is nothing that london cannot offer – except, perhaps, guaranteed sunshine.
Sprits will not be dampened, however, when the full range of entertainment on offer in london is fully appreciated, with hundreds of cinemas, theatres and other venues bringing the finest culture from around the world into one, multi-faceted metropolis.
The Tower of london
One of london's most interesting buildings and best-known the Tower of london stands overlooking the Thames and Tower Bridge and here the pageantry for which london is known is still very much alive.
The official london residence of the Queen, the exquisite Buckingham Palace represents the splendour of Royal london. The Palace is only open to the public for a limited time during July to September however you can see the famous "Changing of the Guard" ceremony every day.
The london Eye
Built to commemorate the millennium the london Eye has become one of the most iconic of all london landmarks and a favourite with visitors. Taking a "flight" on the eye affords wonderful views of the entire city.
Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament
Situated in Westminster, the political heart of the United Kingdom, the gothic façade of the Houses of Parliament and the grandeur of Big Ben are for many the most recognisable london monuments.
The sinister slide of london's history, including the Great Plague and Jack the Rippers reign of terror is presented at one of london's favourite visitor attractions.
A london favourite! Over the years Madame Tussauds has attracted millions of visitors who come to have their picture taken with the waxwork model of their favourite celebrity.
West End Theatres
No visit to london is complete without taking in a show at one of the world-renowned london Theatres. The stages of the West End theatres attract some of the biggest stars in the world and shows are offered to suit all tastes from musicals to comedies to Shakespeare.
Thames River Cruise
Running through the heart of the city many of london's most famous landmarks line the banks of the River Thames. A Thames cruise will afford wonderful views of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the Tower of london and the london Eye.

I am not the poster boy suckup or the golden boy on the team. Those guys work on the new stuff and they attend meetings all day to show how busy they are. They do the dog and pony shows to mgmt. I make 172K a year and I only work 10-20 hours a week from home. When there are problems or after hours or late weekend work then it can be stressful. Being on 24×7 online support sucks but that is part of the job. I am the ONLY one that knows my systems so if they want to get rid of me than so be it. I just want to gracefully try my best to make it to 55 and just retire.
Income is routinely mistaken for wealth. For example, if John Doe's income is $250,000 per year, some people might say John is "wealthy." However, if John's mortgage, car payments, student loans from medical school, medical bills for his child, and private school tuition for his other child consume most of his monthly income, he may not have much left for saving at the end of the month. Consequently, John may have a nice house, but he has virtually nothing saved up for retirement, college, or emergencies. That is, he may have a high income, but he is not "wealthy" because he owns little of the things in his life.
I want to thank you for the great article. I was looking online for some inspiration to re-ignite my side-hustle and breathe some new life into my existing efforts. Your ideas here are fabulous and I’ve made notes on seven of them. I already have a lot of the concepts started, but you have given me the spark I was looking for to keep moving forward. Thanks for the help!

Photos of people can only be sold for commercial use if they've signed a 'model release' that gives you permission to use their image (children need a parent/guardian to sign). Without a release, these photos can still be sold for editorial use, as long as they were taken in a public place – eg, if you submitted a 'breaking news' shot with people in the background. If there's any doubt, always ask permission.
How can I be financially free
Though it can take a while to build up enough cash to put a 20% down payment on an investment property (the typical lender minimum), they can snowball fairly quickly. The key here is to correctly project income and expenses in order to calculate cash flow (the free cash you can put in your pocket after all associated property expenses have been paid). However you have to be sure to include the cost of a property manager in your calculations unless you want to manage the property yourself. Even with a property manager, you may be required to make large repair decisions every now and then – so while this is not a 100% passive activity, you are not directly trading your time for money like traditional employment.

No problem and good luck. His book is what started my quest for early retirement – although the investment advice is a bit dated. Another couple who are in the same camp are Billy and Akaisha Kaderli. Again, these are sort of the grandparents of the movement. Although in their 60’s now, they retired at 38 with $500k or so. They also spend a large portion of their time overseas – mostly southeast Asia. Both the Terhorsts and Kaderlis focus on expense management to achieve a full life of travel and fun. The Kaderlis have also written several books avaiable on their website – unfortunately, not for free. They tend to do more interviews so they would be a podcast option too.

The middle class encompasses individuals whose financial situation falls in between those of the upper and lower classes. Generally, the population of America associates themselves as middle class. Lifestyle is a means for which individuals or families decide what to consume with their money and their way of living. The middle class places a greater emphasis on income: unlike the upper class, the middle class measures success and potential in the form of money rather than influence and power. The middle class views wealth as something for emergencies and it is seen as more of a cushion. This class comprises people that were raised with families that typically owned their own home, planned ahead and stressed the importance of education and achievement. They earn a significant amount of income and also have significant amounts of consumption. However, there is very limited savings (deferred consumption) or investments, besides retirement pensions and home ownership. They have been socialized to accumulate wealth through structured, institutionalized arrangements. Without this set structure, asset accumulation would likely not occur.
As long as there is still the written word, there will always be editors. Freelance editing and proofreading not only pays a decent hourly wage, it also gives you the chance to read about potentially interesting topics too. What's more, pursuing freelance writing & editing as a business idea can afford you a lifestyle that lets you travel the world as a digital nomad. You can find lots of job postings from companies and individuals in need of writing, proofreading, and editing services on Contena, which makes this a high-demand opportunity to make money online.

“Retiring early because you don’t like your job is a bad reason to do it, and is a recipe for being bored or aimless when you get there,” she said. “Achieving FIRE is a big deal, and it takes a lot of focus and determination. It’s not for those who want to get rich quick, or for those who just hate their job. The better solution then is just to find a new job, or a new career path. I’m a huge believer that you can love your job and still want to retire early or just achieve financial independence! That was true for us. We loved our work, the people we worked with, and our clients, but we didn’t love the pace of it, the pressure or the constant travel.”
Once you’ve gathered a list, put together a template outreach email (as you’ll be doing this over and over) that’s short and clear with expectations. Tell your potential interviewee who you are, what your podcast is about, and what you’re asking of them. Do a few test interviews with friends and family to make sure everything is being recorded at the quality you want and then book your first episode.
What if a budget of $2,000/month would provide a significant increase in satisfaction? Perhaps the additional $500/month could be used for hobbies, entertainment, and travel, all of which make you far happier in your life. But $2000/month in expenses is more than your portfolio can support, which means you’re headed in the wrong direction (back to temporary freedom).
Domain names cannot be replicated. If one is taken, the only recourse would be to approach the owner to discuss a sale. While there are other variations you could choose, sometimes owning a certain domain (especially if it is attached to your business) can be worth the premium. Often, people will scout out domain names that are still available, buy them, and then sit on them in order to sell them down the road. Depending on who may want the domain down the road, you could sell it for a large markup.
In fact, the FIRE community seems to focus less on the “retire early” aspect of the movement and more on the financial independence component, “which is a powerful aspirational goal that is readily achievable if people are willing to make some small, but important, optimizations in their lives,” said Jonathan Mendonsa, co-host of the ChooseFI podcast.
Well said Illidi. There are more ways than ever, mostly because of the internet. I think the secret is to put out a product or service that’s unique. Not that you have to invent a whole new business, but take an existing business concept, and add something unique to it. Because you’re absolutely right, everyone is getting into the game, making it harder to succeed.

To do so, donate your most precious asset: your time. Bring your family to a local soup kitchen, foodbank, or homeless shelter. Tutor less-privileged children in your city. Help the elderly with groceries or in-home care. Work on low-income houses with Habitat for Humanity. There are more resources than ever to help you contribute beyond yourself in a meaningful way; just do an Internet search for volunteer opportunities in your area.
You can keep your career moving forward by keeping your work skills sharp, and increasing your value to your employer. You should put yourself in the running for promotions where possible, and hold yourself open for better opportunities with other employers. If you are self-employed, it means steadily working to keep your business moving up to the next level.
Most credit card companies offer sign-up bonuses to entice you to open a credit account with them. As long as you don't spend money just to hit the minimum balance and always pay your balance on time, this can have a minimal impact on your credit score while earning you hundreds – or even thousands – of dollars a year. Some of the best travel credit cards offer 100,000 points to new accounts when you meet reasonable spending requirements.
In economics, wealth (in a commonly applied accounting sense, sometimes savings) is the net worth of a person, household, or nation – that is, the value of all assets owned net of all liabilities owed at a point in time. For national wealth as measured in the national accounts, the net liabilities are those owed to the rest of the world. The term may also be used more broadly as referring to the productive capacity of a society or as a contrast to poverty. Analytical emphasis may be on its determinants or distribution.
Financial Freedom by Grant Sabatier has woken me up from years of brainwashing by the status quo model of creating wealth. Grant not only shares his own experience of how he created financial independence early he provides the strategy and tools for me to do the same. As a full time single father, I consider this book to be the most important handbook to creating financial stability for myself and other parents or single adults. Thank you Grant.
When I purchase an existing online business, I look for cash flow over the past year and where the money comes from. I want the sources to be more passive so that it does not take a lot of my time. Also, typically I will make an offer that is 18 – 24 months of profit so that I know that I will get my money back within the next two years. I hope that helps!


text: Playtech is one of the most innovative casino software developers in the world. If you’re into branded or licensed content based on popular movies and TV shows, you’ve probably played one of their games. They take great pride in creating products that follow through with the branded content’s theme and storyline, and also deliver some of the best graphics and sound on the market today. Some of the things worth knowing about the company are detailed below. The History of Playtech Part of the secret to the company’s success could be its founders. Unlike other start-ups that were created by someone who specialized in a single department, Playtech brought together a group of experts in multiple fields. People with experience in casinos, software development and multimedia joined forces in 1999 to create the one-of-a-kind venture. Based in Estonia, the company grew in popularity quickly, and their games were soon played throughout most of Europe. In addition to their first-rate games, the company has grown by slowly purchasing other gaming companies, which has helped them extend their reach into online poker and bingo, as well as further cementing themselves as a premier sports betting software company. Playtech Products To date, the company has over 500 casino, poker and sportsbook games and they release around 50 new titles every year to keep their library fresh. They also hold contracts with huge companies like HBO, Marvel, MGM, and NBC, which allows them to develop licensed content. Some of the most notable gambling software packages include: A bingo network (Around 13,000 daily players through their subsidiary, Virtue Fusion) The iPoker network (Online poker that often hosts in excess of 35,000 players at once) Land-based casino programs (Through their subsidiary,Videobet.) Live casino (Online games that feature a live dealer) Mobile casino Online lottery and scratch games Sportsbook (Sports betting, produced by their subsidiary,Geneity Limited) Playtech Technology As noted earlier, the firm routinely acquires other companies that have a hand in the online gaming, casino industry or software development. For this reason, the technology they use is incredibly diverse and also top of the line. It has allowed them to develop software that makes it easy for their affiliates to manage online and retail setups jointly, and has aided in the assortment included in their product line. They also have a team devoted to research and development, which helps them determine what consumers want in a game and then come up with a strategy to deliver it. They have also created cross-platform compatibility that ensures players are able to play games on numerous devices, using a single account and log-in. This not only means that players can log on using a smartphone, tablet or PC, but that they can also use a land-based machine to bet, and continue later with their phone. Many of their games offer social options, like chat and messaging, which keeps people coming back for familiar friends. In regard to webmasters and online casino owners, the company provides the highest levels of service, an entire suite of management tools, easy interfaces and loads of customizations. This makes them one of the top choices for entrepreneurs trying to break into the industry. Playtech Online Slots A few of their most well-known casino games include: The Avengers Captain America Elektra The Fantastic 4 Ghostrider Irish Luck The Incredible Hulk Iron Man The Incredible Hulk The Mummy Thor Wolverine X-Men The Future Unfortunately, US Internet gaming laws have shut out many businesses. After the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act of 2006 was passed, Playtech, among others, pulled up stakes and stopped accepting American consumers. This wasn’t because they were forced to, but more so, because the laws are unclear and companies wanted to protect themselves from any legal liability. Should the laws be made more transparent or altered, US players might start to see more software developers and casinos edge back into the market. As of now, though, Playtech remains one of the biggest and best producers in online gaming throughout Europe and Asia. On the whole, Playtech is to gaming what Weebly or Wordpress is to website creation. They develop fantastic and unique games, which are loved by consumers. They add in total portability between devices. Then, they deliver an array of tools that allow online casino owners to fully customize and seamlessly manage their enterprise. They have even gone so far as to incorporate tracking technology that allows owners to examine how members use their site, so they can improve the experience. This makes their online casinos some of the best-run ones available anywhere on the net. Between that, their state-of-the-art technology, diversity, and quality, they’re also well-respected and liked by consumers worldwide. Instead of focusing on bling, as others in the industry have done, they’ve put their heart and soul into creating technology that isn’t duplicated anywhere else, and it seems to have served them well thus far.

Hungary's national carrier Malev ceased operations and grounded all its flights Friday in response to an "unsustainable" financial situation.
Malev, which is a member of the Oneworld airline alliance that also includes American Airlines and British Airways, has debts of around 60 billion forints ($270 million) and has been unable to find new investors.
The airline, which was established the year after the end of World War II, stopped all its flights as of 0500 GMT on Friday (midnight Thursday EST).
Managing Director Lorant Limburger said that in the past days partner airlines had suddenly lost trust in Malevand had begun demanding advance payments for their services.
"This accelerated the cash outflow to such an extent, that by today the airline's situation has become unsustainable," Limburger said in a statement announcing the shutdown. "We apologize to all our passengers."
Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on state radio that two Malev planes were still abroad—one in Tel Aviv, the other in Ireland. Those planes were not allowed to take off because of the airline's accumulated debts, Orban said. Orban added that Malev faced the risk of having more of its 22 planes seized by creditors if it were to continue operations.
Last month, the European Union ordered Malev to repay nearly $400 million inillegal state subsidiesreceived between 2007 and 2010. In 2010, Malev's losses reached $110 million.
"It is a painful thing. We tried to keep Malev on track as long as we could, but this is as far as we could go," Orban said, adding that he was still hopeful that new investors could be found despite Europe's ongoing debt crisis.
"I believe a restart is not impossible," he said.
Earlier this week, Malev began operating under what amounted to bankruptcy protection and a receiver was appointedby the government to oversee the airline.
Malev was founded in 1946 and has 2,600 employees. After several failed privatization efforts over the past 20 years, the state now owns 95 percent of the company. A deal to sell a stake in Malev to China's Hainan Airlines fell through last year.

Advanced Arresting Gear Cable for Lighter Weight and Longer Service Life
Navy SBIR 2014.2 - Topic N142-107
NAVAIR - Ms. Donna Moore - firstname.lastname@example.org
Opens: May 23, 2014 - Closes: June 25, 2014
N142-107 TITLE: Advanced Arresting Gear Cable for Lighter Weight and Longer Service Life
TECHNOLOGY AREAS: Materials/Processes
ACQUISITION PROGRAM: PMA 251
RESTRICTION ON PERFORMANCE BY FOREIGN NATIONALS: This topic is "ITAR Restricted". The information and materials provided pursuant to or resulting from this topic are restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), 22 CFR Parts 120-130, which control the export of defense-related material and services, including the export of sensitive technical data. Foreign nationals may perform work under an award resulting from this topic only if they hold the "Permanent Resident Card", or are designated as "Protected Individuals" as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3). If a proposal for this topic contains participation by a foreign national who is not in one of the above two categories, the proposal may be rejected.
OBJECTIVE: Develop an arresting gear cable with half the weight and double the service life of the current steel cable.
DESCRIPTION: Aircraft are recovered aboard aircraft carriers by means of the aircraft tailhook engaging a cable which is connected to an arresting gear engine below the flight deck. The arresting gear engine absorbs the aircraft’s kinetic energy, stopping the aircraft on the flight deck. The cable is a critical component to successful recoveries. The current cable is steel and is approximately 65 percent of the effective mass of the current arresting gear system.
The Navy needs a lighter weight replacement to the existing steel cable with a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel. Such a cable would significantly improve the performance of the arresting gear engine, enabling increased bring-back weight of the aircraft, reduced wind-over-deck required for recovery, and increased safety margin. This is especially important in order to push the trade space envelope for future aircraft, i.e. allow for heavier aircraft with faster approach speeds to operate off of carriers.
The objectives of the new cable would be to double the service life of the current cable with a maximum weight of 2 pounds (lbs) per foot and a minimum tensile strength of 220,000 lbs before breaking. The cable must also be able to be terminated.
Service life is defined by the number of cycles on a two-sheave testing machine. The current cable achieves a minimum of 7,600 cycles at 98,000 pound tension wrapped around 28 inch sheaves. The new cable must achieve a minimum of 15,200 cycles under the same conditions. The current arresting cable is 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 1,150 feet in length; proposals must address whether the new cable can be manufactured in adequate lengths. A different cable diameter could be considered (i.e., a cable that is not compatible with current sheave throat dimensions), if the benefits are significant enough to justify a service change to the arresting gear. Because the cable must wrap around multiple sheaves, cable construction must be such that the individual strands can move freely with respect to each other to maximize flexibility and bend-over-sheave performance.
Cable terminations must have an efficiency of 95 percent, i.e., have a tensile breaking strength equal to 95 percent of the breaking strength of the cable, with resistance to tensile load distributed equally over all strands. Cable termination efficiency may be traded off for increased tensile strength such that the combined cable/terminal assembly has a minimum tensile strength of 210,000 lbs. Special consideration will be given to proposals that can exceed this strength requirement, thereby increasing our operating factor of safety. Past research and testing have shown that certain synthetic material fibers compress in the cross-sectional direction under tensile load and exhibit a tendency to pull away from epoxy-filled sockets. A termination solution would need to address this phenomenon, either by developing/testing a fiber that does not compress, by proposing a novel epoxy or termination methodology. For novel termination methods, in the field termination technique should be considered to allow shipboard terminations while underway.
Approximately 250 feet of the cable will be subject to abrasion against flight deck non-skid during every arrestment cycle (Non-skid spec: MIL-PRF-24667C). Any new cable must be resistant to non-skid abrasion over the service life of the cable. Additionally, the cable is exposed to a salt-water environment and other elements such as flight deck cleaners, fuel, hazardous chemicals, and heat from aircraft exhaust. Preservation of the cable material should be considered. The current cable has exposure limitations and must be removed under special circumstances where chemical exposure is unavoidable. Therefore survivability against every chemical is not a requirement; however an understanding of compatible and incompatible materials to develop necessary procedures is highly desirable.
The references document previous testing with synthetic materials, but the topic is open to any technology approach.
PHASE I: Define technical issues related to the cable concept in the arresting gear application. Determine the feasibility of the concept by proving whether the cable will meet the strength, service life, weight, termination and abrasion resistance objectives through analysis and/or targeted lab demos that address specific technical issues.
PHASE II: Develop full scale prototype cables with terminations. Test service life on a two sheave tester. Test tensile strength on a tensile tester. Test abrasion resistance. Propose shipboard termination procedure. Address manufacturability and provide defendable estimates for production cost. Address lubrication and preservation of the cable to protect it from salt water, aviation fuel, flight deck cleaner, and aircraft exhaust heat.
PHASE III: Qualify the cable through testing at Lakehurst shore-based arresting gear facilities. Build production quantities of cable for transition to the carrier fleet.
PRIVATE SECTOR COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL/DUAL-USE APPLICATIONS: Cables of this size and magnitude find numerous applications in the commercial sector, including bridges, elevators, mining, amusement parks, ski lifts, ship moorings, and building construction/cranes.

For those who are looking to expand their knowledge in the field of philosophy, we have created a selection of free books on phenomenology.
The definition of phenomenology refers to the philosophy, science, and method of phenomena, occurring throughout the world.
It is also defined as the study of all things directed to the consciousness, to understand them and to externalize them; in other words, it converts reality into a phenomenon as soon as it appears in the consciousness.
This philosophical theory describes every experience and clarifies the meaning of what surrounds us in our existence, what it means to be human, and the experience of what we are.
Each one of the exciting concepts, history, and origins of this philosophical aspect, you can consult them in our collection of more than 30 materials between books and free phenomenology articles in PDF format.

Articles on Phenomenological Reduction
Phenomenological reduction is a fundamental concept within phenomenological philosophy, introduced by Edmund Husserl in the 20th century. It refers to a methodology that seeks to suspend prejudices and prior assumptions to explore the pure and direct experience of reality.
In the context of research and knowledge, phenomenological reduction allows for a more objective and deeper approach to the objects of study.
It is a valuable tool for exploring human experience in its purest and most authentic form. Learn more with the following free articles on phenomenological reduction in PDF format.

Articles on Intentionality in Phenomenology
Intentionality is a central concept in phenomenology. It refers to the capacity of consciousness to be intentionally directed toward objects or phenomena. In other words, it is the quality of consciousness to be always oriented towards something beyond itself.
In the framework of phenomenology, intentionality implies that all conscious experience has an object that is experienced or perceived.
The importance of intentionality lies in the fact that it provides us with a basis for understanding how meaning is constructed and how the link between consciousness and the world is established. Enjoy the following free articles about intentionality in phenomenology.
Articles on Temporality in Phenomenology
Temporality is a central concept in phenomenology, developed by philosophers such as Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. It refers to the way we experience and perceive time in our daily lives.
In phenomenology, temporality is understood as a fundamental structure of consciousness. Our experiences are always situated in a temporal context, and our perceptions, emotions, and actions unfold in relation to the flow of time.
Phenomenology invites us to explore the richness of temporality in our existence, recognizing that our experiences are always rooted in the flow of time. Learn more with the following articles about temporality in phenomenology.

Articles on Corporeality and Perception in Phenomenology
Corporeality and perception are two fundamental aspects of phenomenology, we invite you to learn a little more with the following free articles in PDF format.
Corporeality refers to the fact that our experience of the world is always mediated by our body. Perception, on the other hand, is the process by which we interpret and make sense of the sensory stimuli we receive from the environment.
Exploring corporeality and perception from a phenomenological perspective allows us to delve deeper into our relationship with the world, our way of being in it, and how we construct meaning through bodily and perceptual experiences.

The relationship between ethics and phenomenology is deep and significant. Ethics is concerned with the study of the moral principles and values that guide our actions and decisions, while phenomenology focuses on conscious experience and the way we perceive the world.
Both fields are intertwined in their interest in understanding human experience and the subjective basis of morality. Through phenomenology, we can explore how ethics manifests itself in our conscious experience and how it influences our decisions and actions.
If you wish to deepen your knowledge of ethics, we invite you to visit our complete collection of free books on ethics in PDF format.
Books on Hermeneutics
The relationship between phenomenology and hermeneutics is close and enriching. Phenomenology focuses on the description and analysis of conscious experience, whereas hermeneutics is concerned with the interpretation and understanding of meaning in various contexts.
Phenomenology provides a foundation for hermeneutics by highlighting the importance of subjective experience in interpreting the world.
It invites us to explore how our experiences and perceptions influence the way we interpret texts, works of art, and other cultural phenomena. Enjoy our complete collection of free hermeneutics books.

“We’ve been fans of Katy Goodman since we first spotted her bouncing around on stage with Vivian Girls, the all-female peppy punk band she has been the bassist for since 2007. And while she remains a faithful member of VG, we have found ourselves even more smitten with her solo project, La Sera, which brings Goodman’s utterly charming, soft-focus vocals and knack for catchy pop songwriting to the forefront at long last.
Since one of the songs from her 2012 album Sees the Light (the tropical-tinged “Real Boy”) serves as the backdrop for our captivatingly cool Madewell swim video (seriously, it’s like a little mental vacation), we thought there was no better time for a catchup with Goodman to talk songwriting, spring rituals and poolside playlists.”

Vintage Tablecloth: Blue scrolls and roses
My last fun purchase while thrifting in Colorado is this lovely vintage tablecloth.
I haven’t added to my tablecloth collection for several years. I manage my collections like this: I decide what I’ll use it for, and a place to keep it in. When the space is full, my collection is complete. I started this 10 years ago when I fell in love with a teacup. I built myself a display rack that would hold ten teacups and saucers, and collected until it was full. Done. I like having limits like that.
When we built our house, I found a couple of awesome cupboards at Costco that fit my kitchen perfectly. I store my table linens in them. It’s a perfect arrangement, right next to the table where I use them with glass sliding doors that make for beautiful display and easy access. They’re just about full, so I quit collecting a few years ago.
Until I saw this one.
It’s just me. The bright blue is my blue. Combined with the deep red roses, the white background, and the beautiful blue scroll design, it’s perfect. So I made an exception.
It’s in beautiful condition with only a couple of faint yellow spots. It measures 47 by 50 inches, with no tag or manufacturer’s markings of any kind.
It’s also my new favorite.
Taking these pictures also reminded me that I got busy last spring and never finished posting my collection. Time to work on that again! Look for more gorgeous vintage linens soon. Until then, I think a backyard lunch is in order, complete with the tablecloth.
Have a great day!

Project: Identify objectives and actions to better integrate biodiversity with planning, development and natural area management in the Eurobodalla Shire.
Timeframe: expected completion mid 2023
Cost and funding:
- Australian Government grant of $30,000 under the Building Better Regions Fund
- Council funding of $30,000
Last updated: November 2022
We are working to: prepare and implement a biodiversity strategy that:
- identifies biodiversity values within the Eurobodalla Shire
- identifies key threats or pressures to biodiversity
- outlines a range of actions that Council and the community can carry out to protect and enhance biodiversity
- establishes a long-term vision and goals to integrate biodiversity in all that we do.
Benefits to the community:
- a framework with measurable actions to maintain and enhance biodiversity connectivity, integrity, and resilience
- ensuring Eurobodalla’s plants and animals continue to have a place to live as the human populations grows.
Biodiversity is the variety of all living things. The three levels of biodiversity are:
- genetic diversity: the variety of genetic information contained in individual plants, animals, and micro-organisms
- species diversity: the variety of species
- ecosystem diversity: the variety of habitats, ecological communities and processes.
Biodiversity is important because:
- it provides us with clean air, water, and healthy soils
- it is vital to our health, wellbeing, and connection with nature
- Aboriginal people have a close and unique connection with biodiversity
- it contributes to our economy, such as nature-based tourism, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and aquaculture
- regardless of the value to humans, all species have a right to exist.
Background and purpose
Biodiversity is in decline globally. In Australia, State of the Environment reporting indicates biodiversity is under increasing pressure and is in decline overall. There are over 200 threatened plants, animals and ecological communities listed in the Eurobodalla LGA.
Eurobodalla's residents and visitors value nature; it is one of the main reasons people live or holiday here. The shire’s population is forecast to increase to over 45,000 by 2036, with thousands of additional homes needed. A biodiversity strategy will ensure Eurobodalla’s plants and animals continue to have a place to live as the human populations grows.
The strategy will include a set of actions to support the work we already do and build on that to:
- value, protect and enhance biodiversity
- enable people of the Yuin Nation to care for Country
- investigate opportunities to benefit from the biodiversity offsets scheme locally
- maintain and enhance our connection with nature
- reverse the decline of our threatened native plants and animals.
We acknowledge that we work within a complex legislative framework. There are often competing priorities, such as planning for bushfire and flooding, engineering standards, and housing demand. We will consider and try to balance these matters in the strategy.
The Biodiversity Strategy will be implemented through Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework and will align with Council’s Community Strategic Plan, Local Strategic Planning Statement and Climate Action Plan.
The strategy will also consider and align with other state and regional documents, such as the South East and Tablelands Regional Plan.
We are asking for community input in a range of ways while we develop the Biodiversity Strategy. You can sign up for email updates if you would like to be kept updated through the project:
Between April and July 2022 we:
- hosted an online survey for community members to tell us what they value about Eurobodalla’s biodiversity
- held three community workshops and an information stall on World Environment Day
- hosted community information sessions specifically for Aboriginal community members
- accepted written comments from people who couldn’t attend in person
- met with NSW Government agencies, Aboriginal community knowledge holders, Eurobodalla Aboriginal Advisory Committee, as well as ecologists and environmental consultants
We used these opportunities to ask why biodiversity is important to different community members and groups, and what our community considers to be barriers and opportunities to achieving biodiversity outcomes for Eurobodalla.
Feedback so far
The feedback we have received so far shows that community members:
- appreciate the natural environment
- enjoy a wide range of recreation activities (such as bushwalking, water sports, bird watching etc) in natural areas
- agree we all have a responsibility to look after nature and biodiversity for future generations
- are concerned about Eurobodalla’s biodiversity.
From the feedback so far we have identified some common themes that community members would like to see in the biodiversity strategy.
- use traditional dhurga language in the strategy and signage
- use traditional knowledge and expertise in land management programs (eg. cultural burning, traditional and chemical-free approaches to land management - especially in native bushfood areas)
- employ Aboriginal people to help care for country and encourage partnerships and networking around traditional practices and issues (eg. share traditional knowledge about caring for Country in schools)
- develop a traditional seasonal calendar for the south coast or Eurobodalla
- improve cultural understanding and mapping (eg. map country type - such as Spotted gum country, iron bark country, pink wood country - identify where Aboriginal people collect known food sources, identify and map totems)
- recognise and learn about species important to the Aboriginal community for sustenance, medicine and resource, and support people of the Yuin Nation to identify and record medicinal plants while respecting indigenous cultural and intellectual property
- investigate further declarations of Aboriginal Places in Eurobodalla and support Aboriginal community to establish Indigenous Protected Areas within Eurobodalla.
- identify publicly owned land for revegetation
- adopt land use planning practices that value biodiversity over other planning matters (eg. avoid selling land with high environment value, consider land acquisition for biodiversity conservation, plan for higher density housing, ensure future development minimises impacts on biodiversity, ensure threatened ecological community clearing is avoided and minimised)
- advocate to stop native forest logging and reduce/stop clearing native vegetation for development
- work with other councils to prepare a regional Koala plan of management
- protect and enhance important wildlife corridors, develop a network of wildlife corridors, and validate mapping of wildlife corridors
- ensure Council strategies, policies and procedures value and protect biodiversity
- prepare guidelines for biodiversity impact assessment, including standards and processes in development applications
- ensure environmental impact assessment for Council activities adequately considers biodiversity
- require vegetation management plans for all development on lots greater than 1500m2
- develop a biodiversity offset policy for local development that does not trigger the Biodiversity Offset Scheme
- develop a funded tree replacement program
- enforce stronger compliance action for illegal clearing.
- take proactive action to enhance habitats in ways that connect patches of vegetation so animals can move across the landscape (eg. Revegetate to create linkages between patches of vegetation, establish wildlife crossings – such as overpasses and underpasses - on roads with high rate of wildlife)
- install nest boxes to replace trees removed as part of development or Council activities, revegetate bushfire affected areas, waterways, and riparian areas
- plan green spaces for urban areas, map urban canopies, and establish a tree cover target for urban areas
- use native and endemic species in Council parks, gardens, roundabouts, reserves, developments, etc
- increase weed control in urban and Council-owned areas, reduce herbicide use on roadsides, and support landholders to control weeds
- improve domestic cat management, feral cat control, and rabbit control
- support community groups financially to regenerate degraded areas, increase support for Landcare activities, provide free native plants to community members
- assist farmers and property owners to use regenerative farming principles to improve soil health
- promote agriculture industries as part of the solution to climate change and work with farmers to proactively make this happen
- investigate opportunities/benefits of farm forestry on private land for biodiversity
- provide financial incentives to landholders to setting aside high biodiversity value areas
- improve public litter disposal and dumping, including waterways.
- Recognise, celebrate, and educate about our natural environment, community and council achievements
- promote the importance high value habitat such as hollow bearing trees, shore-birds, impacts of pets
- incorporate art and storytelling in biodiversity education programs
- establish demonstration gardens on council and private land to showcase wildlife friendly gardens, start a “garden tool library”joint projects with other agencies and neighbourhoods on public and private land, such as Save our Species programs, National Parks, Local Land Services, NSW Rural Fire Service local businesses
- investigate and support opportunities for citizen science, community working bees
- consider existing models (such as UNESCO Biosphere Reserve concept, Sustainability Pledge Tiaki Promise)
- provide incentives to eco-tourism businesses to promote biodiversity values.
Late 2022: community information sessions
In October 2022 we held 4 community information sessions to share actions identified from previous feedback and seek further feedback from the community.
Early 2023: Public exhibition
We aim to prepare a draft Biodiversity Strategy by the end of 2022.
We will publicly exhibit the draft early in 2023 to so community members can read it and give us additional feedback. We will consider all submissions before presenting a final strategy to Council to decide whether to adopt the Biodiversity Strategy.
