The mixture sample can be horizontal or diagonal, based on the selection of lines getting played for.
Actively playing on the web slot games at sites dedicated to them is really beneficial at the second. Most of these internet sites have incredibly handsome and worthwhile welcome bonuses on give to usher in new players into the site. With hard cash match bonuses in the vary of 100%, two hundred% or even more at times, it is in fact a excellent time to be a slot participant.

If you see a slot video game with a cup on the seat, it usually means that the equipment is reserved whilst the participant has just long gone to grab a bite to try to eat and drink or has long gone to the toilet. So why do gamers like to do this? Well, slot terpercaya of slot sport gamers have built a number of false propositions all around their engage in, assuming that the extra they enjoy a sport and the much more funds they punt, the extra possible the slot sport is to fork out out. No matter what you say to these players they will constantly want to appear again to the device they’ve been enjoying on for various hrs, and they’ll no doubt truly feel truly cheated if another person else jumps in their seat and then hits a large earn.
Will there ever be a scenario in which slot game titles function in this fashion on the internet? It’s surely doable for a casino to report the standing of a slot sport when a player exits and then hundreds the precise same recreation manner when the player returns. The difficulty is nevertheless, there is no way the player could explain to if the game was in the very same condition as when they left. The explanation for this is for the reason that a slot activity operates on a fully random number generator (RNG), which indicates no make any difference how prolonged you’ve been pumping the cash into a slot match, you can’t impact the game’s consequence. There could be a better gain to participating in the on the net variations of the on line casino slots, as players can sit in the comfort and ease of their individual houses and not be distracted by other players in close proximity.
In essence, on line slots players in the long run have as considerably prospect of hitting a jackpot on your first spin as your hundredth spin, and for this purpose we quite a great deal question if there is any forex in on the net casinos ever giving players with private slot online games. You can consider your favourite slot device for a test drive on the net for totally free at globe renowned operators, which include Sky Vegas.
I am hoping with the evolution of the online gaming environment this will happen inevitably, there is no improved sensation for some than participating in your favourite Vegas slot on-line, being aware of that if you consider a split you can get back again to just wherever you left it.

Kisumu County will hire 2,500 community health workers for six months to boost ongoing trial of the State’s universal health coverage launched four months ago.
The health workers will be paid a Sh3,000 monthly from the Sh45 million budget that Kisumu has set aside, said Dr George Rae, Kisumu Governor’s advisor on Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
The community health workers, available at designated units across the county are a special cog in healthcare, handling preventive, promotional and rehabilitation care in villages.
“In Kisumu community health workers form the largest single health work force and have been delivering services pro- bono,” said Dr Rae in a statement. “It’s a major land mark in history that Kisumu will unlock the door of non -payment to this faithful and dedicated workers.”
The county has also developed a curriculum for the community health workers. A total of Sh16 million will be released to the community health workers today as Governor Anyang Nyong’o launches the service at Angola hospital in Kisumu East Sub-county.
Angola health centre, is an integrated development program where practical skills and knowledge are offered to the community, especially the vulnerable groups.

By Andonis Vassiliades
Since the 2016 US presidential election and Donald Trump’s accession to power no other person on the planet has had so much media coverage on a daily basis for the wrong reasons.
We have covered various aspects of Donald Trump’s presidency and his own persona in previous comments, but the publication of the redacted report of special counsel Robert Mueller on April 18 brings into focus much of what has been claimed and covered before. This time, however, it is official. The report is full of details and references to his demeanour and actions that go beyond the normal bounds of what to expect of a president. Of course his supporters have rallied around him including the attorney general in excusing his behaviour due to excessive stress and fear of losing his presidency. That very excuse tells far more about the Trump presidency than the two volumes presented by the special counsel.
As I point out later, under the guise of not carrying out a “traditional prosecution judgement”, Mueller may have cleverly fudged the findings by not openly declaring Trump guilty of obstructing justice but his conclusion leaves open the door to more investigations and possibly a criminal charge. If nothing else, the report is a catalogue of examples of widespread and persistent moral corruption.
The massive report of 448 pages is a litany of political manoeuvres and machinations to protect personal interests through threats, lies, absurd and offensive language, dismissals, attempts at cover ups, disruption of government, the creation and exploitation of political party divisions and suspect deals. Generally, with the exception of a few who resisted the pressure to step out of their constitutional powers, the report brings to the fore the actions of a president, members of his administration and others connected to them which disturbingly fall short of expectation. The painted caricature of the president that emerges out of the document is one of an insecure, disgruntled individual who acts as a social and political disruptor and whose understanding of constitutional and national matters is poor to say the least.
Mueller’s investigation and the massive data gathered are mind-blowing. The report is, by any standards, a feat of major proportions. It manages the long, intensive and extensive investigation with unusual flair. For political historians, the document will be remembered as a very rich exhibit and an analysis of a sick political system. It will sit in history as a prime example of a costly and politically explosive investigation and a constant reminder that the US presidency and generally the machinery of government are seriously and corrosively contaminated by greed. It will present a political system which survives on the manufacture and spread of fake news, abuse of economic and political power and the subjugation of discerning voices through fear, threat and intimidation.
Unfortunately, due to its length, detail and style of writing few interested parties will actually ever read the whole document. Most people will rely on limited and distorted interpretations freely dispersed to placate the public with promises and false statements that the president and the system he leads have been exonerated and, therefore, the country is safe in their hands. But the Mueller report does nothing of the sort. On the contrary, it lays bare – albeit in snap-shots – the failings of this president and his administration.
Mueller’s conclusion is a case in point and for that matter I will quote it in its entirety. But before I do so, it is important to remind readers that the published document is severely redacted and indeed, many pages are completely blacked out. Therefore, the very fact that the published document is subject to such an extensive removal of information begs the question what lies behind the redacted passages and whether the report in its present form tells the whole story. This leads me to making an uneasy but fair comparison with President Richard Nixon’s devious and stubborn efforts to withhold evidence. His Waterloo – ‘Watergate’ – not only brought him down but it also demonstrated the perversity of power relationships in trying their best to withhold incriminating information. Where evidence in the form of tapes and documents was requested and provided it was subsequently found to have been falsified or destroyed or substantially redacted to cover up the story. Similarly, I expect that we have not heard the last of Mueller and the evidence in question. Sooner or later investigative journalists, Congress, politicians or others such as academics researching the report and the period will uncover new leads and information. When all that is fused with the present document the facts of the case and the role played by President Donald Trump and his administration and how those roles impacted on the US and the broader world political stage before, during and after the 2016 presidential campaign may become clearer.
“Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecution judgement, we did not draw ultimate conclusions about the president’s conduct. The evidence we obtained about the president’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgement. At the same time, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach judgement. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him” (R. Mueller, vol. II, p.182, my italics).
The philosopher Karl Popper’s principle of ‘falsifiability’ in scientific enquiry bears relevance here. In Popper’s terms falsifiability is a required and necessary part in defining good science. For example, if I say that trolls exist and are all around us but they cannot be seen because they are invisible is a statement which is not falsifiable. The nature of a claim should be such that it is susceptible to challenge, falsification and where possible replacement by alternative propositions. Good investigations are those which do not go out to prove their propositions but to shred them in pieces instead. If one cannot disprove a claim then that must be stated. The claim is then allowed to stand until something else comes along and successfully puts it to rest or adds to its credence.
And here you have it – the Mueller way. I am not sure if Mueller read or studied Popper’s method of scientific enquiry but certainly his method and conclusion bear a strong Popperian sentiment. In straight English, Mueller states that he did not manage to destroy the claim that the president did not commit a crime. Put in context, and doing away with his cryptic Popperian language, he is saying this: sorry folks but we tried unsuccessfully to reject the claim that the president acted criminally. We are not saying he has committed a crime but we are also inferring that if we cannot disprove that he acted criminally, it follows that until proven otherwise the president remains under suspicion and the scrutiny of further investigation.

Extremely Prompt Service!
They came and diagnosed the problem with my refrigerator on the same day it broke. The next day, they had the parts and were back to fix it! Hallelujah! I don’t like to be without my fridge!
Same day service that was on time!!!!
My LG dryer started making a loud screeching sound on a Saturday. Called a few places around town and left messages that did not get returned. Found Denver’s Best Appliance repair by searching the BBB website. I was able to get a same day appointment between 12p and 3p. (Usually that means a tech is coming around 5p.) Arnold, the technician, actually called me at 12p and arrived at 12:45p. He quickly diagnosed the problem to be a bad bearings and he had the parts need to fix. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Arnold was awesome to talk to and had my dryer running good as new by 2p. Same day service at it’s finest!
Very quick and fast approach
They responded very quick to my call and found the failure in my refrigerator. It was repaired in a day.
Emergency service and quality work
We called on a Sunday and asked for a same day service to fix our refrigerator that stopped cooling and was leaking as well. We were told by dispatcher that a technician will be there within the next 2 hrs. About 1 hr. later technician showed up and diagnosed our refrigerator. We were in luck because we called someone who was available on a Sunday and was able to fix refrigerator right away. Otherwise we would end up getting a new refrigerator. We will definitely use them again when and if a problem arises with our appliances.
Quick and excellent service. Very Knowledgable. Polite repairman. Completed the repair on our refrigerator in under 1/2 hour. Checked every part to make sure all were working. Cleaned coils for better efficiency. All with a warranty on parts and labor. Recommend this company to anyone. Thank you


When the check engine light illuminates on the dashboard, it often triggers a sense of dread. Understanding the diagnostic process involved can help alleviate some of this anxiety and prepare vehicle owners for the steps ahead.
Decoding the Check Engine Light
The check engine light is a vehicle's way of communicating that something is amiss within its system. It's an integral component of the onboard diagnostics system, designed to monitor the vehicle's performance and detect potential issues. When this light comes on, it's signaling that a diagnostic process is necessary.
The Importance of Prompt Action
Ignoring the check engine light isn't advisable. Delayed action can result in minor issues escalating into major ones, potentially leading to costly repairs or irreversible damage. Therefore, prompt attention to a lit check engine light is critical to maintaining the vehicle's health.
Understanding the Diagnostic Process
The check engine light diagnostic process begins with a device known as a diagnostic scanner or code reader. This tool is connected to the vehicle's onboard computer, reading fault codes that indicate the nature of the problem. Each code corresponds to a specific issue, providing valuable insight into what might be wrong with the vehicle.
Next comes the interpretation of these codes. Professionals in the field use their expertise to decode the information and identify the root cause of the problem. This step requires a thorough understanding of automotive systems and components.
Choosing a Skilled Automotive Technician
Selecting an experienced automotive technician to conduct the check engine light diagnostic is vital. Considerations should include the technician's qualifications, experience, and reputation. With their expertise and attention to detail, they leave no stone unturned in providing the best care and maintenance for your prized possession, giving you peace of mind knowing your vehicle is in capable hands.
Embracing Technological Advancements
Modern technology has made the check engine light diagnostic process more efficient and accurate. Advanced diagnostic tools can read codes faster, provide more in-depth information, and even offer real-time data about the vehicle's performance. Embracing these advancements can significantly improve the diagnostic process.
In summary, understanding the check engine light diagnostic process is crucial for every vehicle owner. From recognizing the importance of prompt action to choosing a competent technician and leveraging modern technology, each step contributes to ensuring the vehicle's optimal performance and longevity. It's not just about turning off a bothersome light on the dashboard - it's about safeguarding the vehicle's health and ensuring a smooth, safe driving experience.Share

Egypt’s PP, PE markets firmer in August despite muted demand
Saudi major keeps PP prices stable; PE offers fluctuate
A major Saudi producer initially approached the market with offers significantly higher than the previously available levels in July. As most players expected, the major producer revised their offers for August.
The major producer’s HDPE film offers were $20/ton lower at $1330/ton CIF Egypt, 90 days, while HDPE inj. and b/m offers were unchanged at $1400/ton from July levels. New LLDPE film offers were higher by $70/ton at $1320/ton and LDPE film offers were higher by $120-150/ton at $1520/ton, with the same terms.
As for PP, the major producer decided to roll over their July levels, which were at $1400/ton for PPH raffia and inj., and $1430/ton for PPH film and fibre.
The availability was reported to have remained tight, particularly for PP grades.
Tight supplies keep Mid-Eastern seller’s pricing firm
A Middle Eastern supplier’s new PPH raffia and inj. offers emerged with increases of $20-50/ton over July while PPBC inj. prices surged by around $90/ton. PPRC inj. prices were also higher, up by $10/ton on the month.
The supplier’s new offers were at $1400/ton PPH raffia and inj., $1490/ton for PPBC inj. and $1510/ton for PPRC inj. CIF Egypt, 90 days.
“Allocations are very limited, so no major discounts are expected,” a trader reported.
SIDPEC out for maintenance, ETHYDCO ops for mixed pricing
SIDPEC, one of the two PE producers in Egypt, shut their plant in Alexandria, Egypt for a planned maintenance shutdown on August 1. The shutdown is expected to last until September.
“The producer does not have sufficient stocks to tide over the shutdown period,” a source said, adding that the producer will not be able to deliver in August.
Meanwhile, ETHYDCO opted for a mixed pricing strategies for August. The producer’s HDPE b/m and HDPE pipe prices were unchanged from July while HDPE film and LLDPE film were up by EGP3,000/ton ($191/ton) and EGP1,000/ton ($64/ton), respectively, as compared to June. ETHYDCO’s HDPE inj. offers were EGP2,000/ton ($127/ton) down on a monthly basis.
A source reported that the producer had sufficient stocks and could deliver immediately to the requirements of the buyers. “The producer’s new pricing was in line with the current import prices and availability conditions in the market,” the source added.
EPP announced increases for August prices
EPP (Egyptian Propylene & Polypropylene), formerly referred to as EPPC, announced their new offers with increases of $25/ton over July.
The local producer’s new offers were at $1525/ton for PP raffia, $1575/ton for PPH fibre and $1550/ton for PPH film, all on ex-works Port Said, cash basis.
According to the producer, new prices reflected higher feedstock costs and firmer global markets.

I have just finished watching it. Talk about an emotional knockout!
Even if I had heard about all the good reviews and all the awards this movie had been given, I still was not prepared for it being this good. Just the kind of film that I like and just the kind of low-key storytelling that I like.
No need for big explosions or loud annoying musical scores. People hardly shout once in this movie, and yet it rocks. Moves, twists and turns.
I have always been a fan of Clint Eastwood, even in the days when he wasn’t the icon he is today, or seems to be. I must say that his directing skills are improving with every film, even if it is from a very high level. His acting is subtle yet very moving.
Every actor in this film is doing a great job. Hilary Swank is perfect. I’ve only seen a few of her other films but after this one I’m her fan for life.
Morgan Freeman’s voice is what I will always remember. Having him do the voice-over is great.
I thought it would be about boxing, but it is a film about life.
Over and (knocked) out!


NFL stays focused on concussions
New technology and old-fashioned common sense are the prevalent evolutionary themes in the NFL's concussion treatment and prevention efforts.
The technology: Gizmos such as sensor-laden mouthpieces and helmets that can help doctors and scientists better understand the forces behind head trauma.
The common sense: standardizing the league's in-game concussion policy.
Provided the NFL lockout is eventually lifted and the 2011 season is played, players who suffer a head injury must now pass a uniform 6-8-minute exam either on the sideline or in the locker room before being allowed to return. Tests related to cognitive thinking, memory, concentration and balance will be administered.
Results will be compared to those from baseline testing conducted on the player during the preseason. If the drop-off is too significant, the player will be ruled out for the rest of the contest.
"The problem is that the testing is all different everywhere you go," said Dr. Richard Ellenbogen, the co-chair of the NFL's head, neck and spine committee. "In Philadelphia, there's one very good test being used. In Seattle, there's another. What we tried to do was standardize it by putting all the same elements in one test."
The Eagles came under heavy scrutiny after two players (quarterback Kevin Kolb and linebacker Stewart Bradley) who had suffered concussions early in the 2010 regular-season opener were allowed to return before being benched at halftime. Eagles head coach Andy Reid said both had passed the team's sideline concussion tests even though a stumbling Bradley was clearly addled when originally injured.
The request for standardized testing came directly from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, during an in-season conversation with Hunt Batjer, who is Ellenbogen's co-chair on the head, neck and spine committee.
"Roger turns to Hunt one day and says, 'Doc, I'm a layperson. I'm watching TV. I want to know why (are testing standards) different in one city than the other?' " Ellenbogen said. "I didn't have a good answer for him. (Goodell) said, 'Don't you think we should do things consistently?' I think that is the key."
The NFL diagnosed 223 players with concussions in 333 overall games last season, including the preseason and playoffs. The actual number is probably higher, but some players are likely to have slipped through the cracks by declining to tell their team's medical staff of symptoms.
Ellenbogen said the league has kept track of concussions for 20 years but the 2010 number is higher because player awareness and the testing program have improved.
"Before, you had to be knocked out before we called it a concussion," said Ellenbogen, a leading neurological expert who was tapped by the NFL in March 2010. "Now, if you come off the field confused or dazed, we understand that's not a good thing. That's a concussion.
"I think the number shows an increase in the number of concussions we're diagnosing. I do not believe — and this is speculation looking at the 2008, 2009 and 2010 numbers — that we have more concussions. I think we're better at diagnosing concussions."
Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for a slew of players from previous generations. Some former NFL standouts like Shane Dronett and Andre Waters, who both committed suicide within the past few years, were diagnosed posthumously with chronic traumatic encephalopathy. CTE is a dementia-related ailment marked by brain tissue degeneration and hazardous accumulation of tau protein. Ex-Chicago and New York Giants safety Dave Duerson left a suicide note asking that his brain undergo research after his February death.
Last year, the NFL gave Boston University a $1 million grant to study CTE. The league also is awaiting results from researchers at West Virginia University, the National Institute of Health and even the U.S. military, where the government is trying to better treat head trauma suffered by soldiers in the line of duty.
"What we're trying to do now is prevent (current players) from taking multiple hits and cumulative hits so that potentially this issue of CTE goes away 20 years from now," Ellenbogen said. "But we still don't know or understand CTE."
As part of its own research efforts, Ellenbogen said the NFL has met with NCAA officials to discuss sharing concussion data from the college ranks. The league also wants to study the effects of gravitational force (i.e. G-force) on head trauma.
The NFL wants to experiment with an in-helmet accelerometer — as is done with some auto racers — to gauge how much force is sustained on hits. The same goes for a mouthpiece that Ellenbogen says would include "tiny chips and sensors."
G-force helmet testing already has been conducted on college and high school football players.
"We don't know what technology is the most accurate in predicting the amount of force a player suffers when he gets hit or falls," Ellenbogen said. "How much force does it take to knock someone out? We see these guys at the college level taking horrendous hits (at) 50 Gs and they're running around fine. And then we see someone taking a small amount of Gs and they're knocked out. We need to understand these technologies.
"It won't ever show up on a scoreboard like, 'Oh, this player took a 50G hit.' But what it will do is help the scientists understand how to protect the players better."
Ellenbogen believes concussion awareness is an area where the NFL has gotten far better. He also cites the trickle-down effect the league's efforts have made upon football at the college, high school and youth levels as well as in other sports.
There were two major safety-related developments last week. Major League Baseball instituted a seven-day disabled list for players believed to have suffered concussions and also implemented standard testing protocol. And Colorado passed the nation's most stringent concussion policy for youth sports.
Eleven states already have similar legislation on the books. Concussion policies in 21 other states and the District of Columbia are pending, according to the sportsconcussions.org website. Such rules force mandatory medical diagnosis and treatment of head injuries.
The movement is a far cry from the not-so-distant past when players wouldn't admit to concussion symptoms because of a misguided "tough-guy" mentality and blows to the head were dismissed by some coaches and trainers as mere "dings."
"I thought people were going to fight it and say, 'Heck no, we're not going to do it,' " Ellenbogen said of the stricter guidelines. "People are getting it. They want to protect their kids. They don't want to take them out of sports, because sports are important, but I didn't think the culture change would happen this fast. I am pretty impressed that people are eating it up. That kind of shocked me, to be honest."
The attention given head injuries as well as their effects on some retirees has affected some current players with concussion histories. Former Chicago Bears linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer spent all but one game on injured reserve in 2010 because of symptoms suffered from a preseason concussion. Hillenmeyer, 30, said his "numerous" concussions since entering the league, as well as family concerns, will influence whether he tries to return for a ninth NFL season as a free agent.
"They add up," Hillenmeyer said. "At some point, you really have to look in the mirror and say when enough is enough. I’ve talked to doctors really trying to figure out exactly what the right answer to that is. I still feel great and it’s weird to be on injured reserve for an entire season when there is not really an injury to rehab. Rest is the best thing you can do, which is frustrating.
"At the same time, if I’m thinking about my long-term quality of life — I have a 3-month-old daughter — your priorities start to change. What you are going to make (financially) with one more season quickly becomes not nearly as alluring when you realize what you might be giving up in the long run in terms of how your health is going to be 10, 20 and 30 years down the road."
By that time, Ellenbogen hopes the NFL has an even better grasp on handling concussions and their aftereffects.
"It is very tragic to see young players taking their lives or players being confused and demented as they get older," Ellenbogen said. "We're really trying to get a handle on this."
Dr. Richard Ellenbogen and Hunter Hillenmeyer were interviewed last week by Alex Marvez and co-host Jim Miller on Sirius NFL Radio.

Moving to a new country can be an enriching experience. However, any change causes an impact on the person, creating feelings of discomfort, tension and stress. Being in a place that is unknown, where we cannot predict or guess what will happen, forces us out of our comfort zone, which can be scary.
After all, we abandon what is familiar to us and we come across a culture where the language, the way of being, the interaction between people and even the sense of humor is different from what we are accustomed to. In addition, it is necessary to adapt to a new diet and climate, which in itself can change our mood.
In these situations, when we get out of our comfort zone, the brain tends to work in a specific way: first, it keeps our attention focused on this potentially threatening or dangerous situation (dangerous because we do not know what will happen, so we feel we have no control over it), as if it were a warning sign. Second, it evaluates the situation as more negative and frightening than it actually is, for prevention is better than cure. Thus, the brain identifies all possible scenarios, especially those that are most inconvenient for us, so that we find early solutions for them.
Our brain does this automatically so that it can protect us. This way of looking at the world around us by focusing on what is negative and what can be dangerous motivates us to adopt more careful behaviors and prevent disadvantageous situations for us. It seems easy to see the advantages of this way of being and seeing the world if we realize that this way of processing the information around us is what prevents us from standing in the middle of a road with traffic or getting too close to a cliff.
However, sometimes this constant negative thinking only brings us unnecessary fears, causing us to act too cautiously, avoiding taking any “risk.”
Normally, when we are out of our environment, away from what we know and are familiar with, these negative and threatening thoughts arise more frequently. It is normal to feel threatened or a little nervous about all the changes, which can, consequently, lead us to gradually isolate ourselves more and more from this new country, culture and people.
In addition, our brain also makes us idealize our previous life, the city, the space, and the people we already knew. We will recognize that, in our own previous country, we were happy. However, this may just be a romanticized view of our memories, which often does not correspond to the reality of what actually happened. In fact, the brain is an eternal dissatisfied – always focused on what is wrong in the present and what could be so much better.
So how can we deal with this brain that strives so hard to protect us? First of all, it is important to be aware that this is the normal way our brain works when we face change. In this way, we can perceive when we are entering this mode of self-defense and act in order to deactivate it.
For this, anything that allows us to gain a greater perspective of the problem can help us. For example, we can write or talk to someone close to us about what we feel, and in this way we are taking these fears from within us and putting them ahead of us, creating a distance between us and the problems and making them smaller. We can practice exercise, maintain a balanced diet and get enough sleep, which will improve our mood.
In addition, it is essential to allow ourselves to slowly know the country we are in. We can learn about the culture, the places, the people, the language … only then can we create our roots, transforming this new place into our place.

Every year, Nickelodeon’s “Kids’ Choice Awards” reward the best of the best in entertainment based on your votes. This year, fans’ favorite actors, singers, movies and shows were up for a ton of awards in different categories. Among others, the cast and crew of Dan Schneider’s “Henry Danger” were in for a big treat — well, two big treats, actually! And we don’t mean candy (though that would be great too).
To fans’ delight, “Henry Danger” took home that, big beautiful orange blimp for “Favorite Kids’ Show.” There are so many reasons this amazing show deserved this award, several of which we wrote about on a previous blog post. Literally nothing compares with the awesome antics that Captain Man and Kid Danger get up to on the reg’. What could be better than a show full of superpowers? Oh yeah! A show starring Jace Norman.
This brings us to the second big win of the night: Jace Norman for “Favorite Male Actor”! Jace has a huuuge fan base, and it looks like they really came through for our man at the awards. There is a lot to love about Jace (his great smile and hysterical sense of humor being two factors). Both as an actor and as a person, Jace is a seriously great guy with a lot to offer. We can’t wait to see where his career takes him! For a kid who landed his first gig on his first ever acting audition at age 12, this is definitely a promising start.
If you watched the awards, you might have noticed a great stunt the whole cast pulled to parody this year’s legendy Oscars snafu. After accepting the blimp, Jace Norman looks down and says “You guys this must be a mistake — this says “Favorite Kids’ Show: Moonlight.” I didn’t even know they were nominated!”
“Moonlight,” of course, is the film that actually won Best Picture after “La La Land” was mistakenly announced at the Oscars. Their slip-up makes us super glad that the “Kids Choice Awards” had all their cards in order! Phew!
So many other great actors, shows, movies, and musicians took home awards at the 2017 Kids’ Choice Awards, including “Ghostbusters” for Favorite Movie, “Finding Dory” for favorite animated movie, and “Fifth Harmony” for Favorite Music Group.
Congrats again to “Moonlight” — er, we mean “Henry Danger” — on the epic wins this year! It’s been a crazy ride.
“Henry Danger” is an American superhero TV comedy, created by Dan Schneider and Dana Olsen, currently airing on Nickelodeon. The series follows a 13-year-old boy, played by Jace Norman, who lands a job as the sidekick of a local superhero. “Henry Danger” is produced by Dan Schneider, an American actor, TV and film actor, and producer.

Interview with REMOTE Member : Rafael Peccin, Marketing Director of Casa Hotéis.
This year, the privatization of the Serra Geral and Aparados da Serra National Parks was announced, with a concession of another 30 years in which R$ 262mi will be invested in 30,000 hectares of area. With the promise that the parks will be re-equipped and have their infrastructures upgraded, we talked with REMOTERs of Parador Cambará do Sul, guardians of the canyons’ natural wonders for 20 years .
1) How did you receive the news about the privatization of the hotel’s garden?
We’ve been waiting for this news for over 20 years. We believe this is a historic moment, not only for the municipality of Cambará do Sul, but for Rio Grande do Sul as a whole, and for Brazil too. The parks are located on the border between Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina and the visitation areas cover parts of the two states. The investment will not only come from the company that will manage the parks, but also from the states that will improve access. The paving of Serra do Faxinal, the interstate that links Praia Grande in Santa Catarina to Cambará do Sul in Rio Grande do Sul, will make the road a scenic route and an important thoroughfare connecting the two states and, consequently, the rest of Brazil, which reaches Rio Grande do Sul along the coast. The new provider took on the challenge of making these parks the best in the country. The objective is for it to be a model for the entire world, so our expectations are high.
2) Admission, which had been free of charge, will now be paid, with a maximum price of R$80, among other commercial aspects. How does this impact the local community?
I believe the impact will be positive: as soon as you charge for admission to the parks, that means that the company will have to offer compensation: it will need to improve the service, it will need a labor force to work, it will need to structure the operation within the park and attractions. The more infrastructure and attractions the park has, the more it will generate income and jobs for the community.
3) Many REMOTER members design their hospitality around Nature Based Tourism, guiding their experiences in deep contact with local nature. Doesn’t the fact that this progress comes with the promise of stores, restaurants, picnic areas and even glampings mean that visitors seeking peace and privacy might be driven away?
On the contrary. Today, the national parks are literally in a state of abandonment. There aren’t even adequate bathrooms for visitors, in addition to other features of basic infrastructure, such as dumpsters, trails with proper safety and supervision. In other words, the way things are, they don’t even attract so-called “ecotourists,” who are looking for this type of activity, let alone traditional tourists, in addition to generating an uncontrolled environmental impact. What the best models of national parks in the world do is precisely this: they create an infrastructure for the park to be a tourism visitation hub for all visitors, like Yosemite National Park in the US. The purpose of this concession is precisely to survey what is for the tourists and what is the untouchable preservation area. The National Park has thousands of hectares that will be preserved and the tourist part will be structured for visitation with low environmental impact.
4) With the investment plan, the projection is that visitation on weekends will triple. Do you have any tips on the best time of year for those who want to avoid crowds?
The successful national parks around the world have their visitation peaks just like any other destination, during the vacation periods and long holidays. But there is constant visitation, as they offer adequate infrastructure to receive visitors, in addition to the natural wonders. It shouldn’t be any different here. I believe we will have perennial visitation, as is already the case in Cambará do Sul, with tourists coming here all year round. It’s different from a seasonal attraction, which depends on a climate situation or a specific time of year. The canyons and the waterfalls are there all four seasons of the year. In addition, the parks are very large and they’ll be prepared to receive a lot of people. In fact, charging the price of admission will already be a way to have more control.
5) What’s the best way to combine an itinerary to visit the Parador and the Wood Hotel, for those who want to really explore the region well?
I always say that Rio Grande do Sul, especially the Serra Gaúcha, offers a very unique travel experience: it’s possible to see the canyons and nature in abundance, to enjoy the quality entertainment, shopping and restaurant options in Gramado and Canela and also visit the wine-producing region of Bento Gonçalves. This doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world in such a small radius and you can do it all in just a few days. This is the best of the worlds: to be able to be in at least two of these destinations, with incredible hotels, to and allow tourists to vacation in Brazil, having completely different scenarios and distinct experiences.

User sunnyseth tried to make a "colour version" of this police officer. I Think it was a great effort but GIMP never makes "clipart" looking clipart, I recommend inkscape (free!) or some other vector direct editor. This is my attempt at a colour version!

One of the most intriguing and puzzling aspects of the Wizard of Oz story, for myself, centers around the Tin Man. More specifically: the Tin Man’s back story and how it creates a contradiction when viewed alongside the Tin Man’s intended actions as stated at the end of the Wizard of Oz. In the Tin Man’s back story we find out that the Tin Man falls in love with a munchkin girl and, in the attempt to win her hand in marriage, ends up cutting off all of his limbs and has them replaced with tin. The Tin Man then states that he believes that “I suppose she is still living with the old woman, waiting for me to come after her” and that, should Oz grant him a heart, “I will go back to the Munchkin maiden and marry her.”
Here we can see that the Tin Man clearly states his purpose: once he gains a heart he will find and marry his munchkin girl. However the reader later finds out this is not the case. Glinda inquires into the Tin Man’s plan once Dorothy returns home and the Tin Man replies: “The Winkies were very kind to me, and wanted me to rule over them after the Wicked Witch died. I am fond of the Winkies, and if I could get back again to the Country of the West, I should like nothing better than to rule over them forever.”
At this point, Chapter 23, the Tin Man has already gained his “heart” from the great and powerful Oz and does not, at any point after obtaining the heart, think of his “love” the Munchkin girl nor does he even consider returning to munchkin territory as his final wish instead placing himself on the complete opposite side of Oz forevermore.
This then leads to the intriguing question about the Tin Man: Did he truly love the munchkin girl that he was willing to lose all of his limbs for? It appears that he was willing to sacrifice his limbs for her and yet I would argue that it is not love that he felt for this girl. Rather, I feel like the Tin Man can be seen as a “Knight” figure by comparing how the Tin Man looks to that of a stereotypical image of a Knight in full battle armor as well as the Tin Man’s ruthless efficiency in killing the wolves.
This Knight Tin Man held a form of “fealty” to the Munchkin girl. This “fealty”, which the Tin Man wrongly labeled as love, gets transferred to Dorothy and thus he easily forgets the Munchkin girl he “loved” and no longer worries after her fate.


Big 2nd Period Propels Rockers In Win Vs Elmira
Elmira, NY — The Motor City Rockers were not sluggish on tryptophan after eating Thanksgiving Turkey yesterday as it skated to a 3-2 win over Elmira on Friday night.
After a tightly contested first period, the RiverSharks got on the board first on the power play in the second.
The puck moved through center onto the stick of Steven Klinck who entered the zone. As he did Klinck found Darius Davidson who executed a perfect backdoor cut toward the net. Davidson scooped the pass and moved it to his backhand for a quick 1-0 lead with 12:17 to play in the middle frame.
The Rockers were able to rattle off three straight goals to take a commanding 3-1 lead after that.
With 10:42 left in the second, Jamie Milam chipped the puck off a RiverShark stick and ahead to Scott Coash for a clean breakaway. Coash raced into the offensive zone deked to his backhand and finished through the five-hole for a 1-1 game. Coash broke the tie, 2-1, six minutes later when he put away a loose puck rebound off a hard shot by Mike Winn for his second of the game. The goal gave Coash seven goals on the season and increased his point streak to 5-games.
57 seconds later the third goal came off an odd-man rush. TJ Delany picked up a loose puck in the defensive zone and offered a no-look pass to Nick Magill-Diaz. Magill-Diaz walked the puck into the offensive zone with Jonathan Juliano trailing. Juliano picked up the drop pass and waited for Delany to join the play and centered the puck to the 6-foot-6 Forward who earned his first goal of the season for a 3-1 lead with 3:51 to play in the 2nd period.
Klinck added his second point of the night in the third period when he fired the puck inside the nearside circle and beat Trevor Babin's glove side for his goal of the season. The goal cut into the lead 3-2 with 11:33 to play in the final period.
Motor City was able to kill much of the clock with clean possessions and a power play late in the period that the Rockers used to kill time and not add an insurance goal. It also prevented the RiverSharks from pulling Spencer Kozlowski for an extra attacker.
The Rockers and RiverSharks will play their final game at First Arena at on Saturday at 6:05pm.


We know an awful lot about the Nintendo Switch console. We know that it will arrive in March next year, we know that at least one of the hardware versions will ship with two detachable Joy-Con controllers for on-the-go mobile gaming. We also know that the Nintendo Switch will have a dock that will turn it into a standard at-home console if you’re not taking it out on the road. What we didn’t know is whether Ninty was going to make that display a touchscreen or not.
The report claims that the Switch will arrive bearing a 6.2-inch display and that Nintendo will be going the whole hog and making it a touchscreen. But not just any touchscreen. It’ll be a 10-point capacitive multi-touch screen, an upgrade on the older screens seen in the 3DS (for the second screen) and the Wii U (with the bundled controller). It’ll be closer to your smartphone screen, is what we’re trying to say.
The information comes by way of an anonymous source that has previous provided the outlet with accurate information about the Nintendo Switch, as well as other sources that have confirmed the screen’s dimensions and functionality.
Just how Nintendo plans to use such a display, assuming the report is accurate, can only be speculated on. The company hasn’t made any noise regarding a touchscreen at all and has also declined comment on the report. We can think of at least one use for it, though — multiplayer touchscreen games on the 6.2-inch display. That would… sort of work, right?


I said yesterday how it could be interesting to compare work done by Geoffrey Bennison for the Rothschild family during the 1980s, with the creations of Denning and Fourcade who worked in a so-called Style Rothschild. So, today I show work Bennison did at Chateau de Reux for the Mayor of Pont l'Evêque and his wife. Perhaps an unfair comparison given that this country interior has Bennison toning down the grandeur, and there is much of that in these photos, of 18th century embossed leather walls, Queen Anne red lacquer, the most beautiful 17th century mirror, Baroque painted chairs, Chinese ceramics, scagliola table tops, et al, with rush matting that needs frequent watering, faux bois painted paneling, 18th century crewel-work curtains, printed linen for upholstery, walls and curtains, and none-too-formal gardens designed by the Mayor's wife's aunt, Arabella Lennox Boyd.
So, today no invidious comparisons, just photos of beautiful rooms in Normandy where the Mayor and his lady could spend weekends and in August, entertain family and friends to meals, created by the family chef, up from Paris for a month, using vegetables grown in the grounds and fish and meat from the local markets.

Enderby Group - On Monday the Enderby Group held a seminar for a small selected audience of local politicians, prominent citizens, museum operators and historians and some developers. This consisted of a walk from the Cutty Sark Pub to the Enderby Jetty - (and thanks to Keith Palmer of Alcatel-Lucent who opened up the jetty and made a major contribution to the seminar later). Various items of historical interest were pointed out along with some of the group's ideas for the future. They then went back to the Crows Nest in Cutty Sark Pub (and thanks to the staff) where we had coffee and a chat. Stewart Ash gave a presentation on the history of the site, and Elizabeth Pearcey talked about our hopes for the future and the possibilities. One problem that the group has is that no-one has any idea what Barratt plans for Enderby House - one participant at the meeting said that they were turning down offers to purchase it, and the Barratt staff who had promised to attend, sadly did not appear. Planners present confirmed that Barratts are obliged under their planning consent to renovate the building - but, again, no one still has much idea what the state of the building is now. Council staff confirmed that have urged Barratt to talk to the Group
Come on Barratt - we can all work together on this!
Some pictures of the event together with a write up is at https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=enderby and http://onthethames.net/2016/03/14/enderby-campaigners-discuss-future-historic-site/
(and thank you Rob and Danny - and Michael for the picture above)
The Enderby Group produced an information pack and a walk document for the event - a limited number of these are available should anyone be interested.
info wanted: Hello, I am interested in the old firm of T W Thompson & co and the Endyne works, I have found a small amount of info on line, just wondering if there are any old photos of the Endyne works, or of the Engines & Dynamos that they built, and when and why the company closed down.
British Transport Treasures has sent us the following:
CROSSRAIL ARCHAEOLOGY - In most of the 19th century - in fact up to 1912 - anyone who lived in East Greenwich or on the Peninsula would have had their river view dominated by the huge warships which were built on the north bank alongside Bow Creek - and elsewhere of course. This was the Thames Ironworks site on the Essex Bank of the Creek.
If you go now to Portsmouth Maritime Station the main thing you can see outside, looming over the station is the vast bulk of HMS Warrior - in the 1850s that bulk would have dominated the our view of the river, and Warrior is very far from being the biggest ship built in Bow Creek - and in those days they expected to see big ships on the Thames.
So thanks to Crossrail the (fairly minimal) archaeological dig on the shipbuilding site has been published and is available. Its fine, although it has its limitations - an interesting beginners guide to Thames Shipbuilding, with some useful details on Ditchburn and Mare (I have never seen them written up before) and on the Hills (who are a specialist subject of mine and basically Deptford and Greenwich based). There is a lot of detail about the places they dug and what they found there.
My main criticism is that although they say they have consulted shipbuilding specialists there is no mention in the acknowledgements of anyone from the Museum in Docklands or the Greenwich Maritime History Institute or indeed any of the people who have been running and participating in the bi-annual Thames Shipbuilding Symposia - so - er - why not??
However, we should thank Crossrail for getting the archaeologists to publish - most of the industrial sites in Greenwich, now covered with tower blocks, have had 'desk tops' and digs and reports - which no one has ever seen, or will see. Bad bad bad
