One big thing I leaned from Randy Whited’s RootsTech 2014 Lecture, A Beginner’s Guide to Going Paperless, was to add my complete source citation as metadata to my image files. To do this all you have to do is right click the image, go to Properties then click on the Details tab. You have several metadata fields, Title, Subject, Rating, Tags and Comments. Just click on the field that you want to use and a box will come up where you can type. I just copy and paste my citation into the Comments field. For now I am opting to leave the other fields blank. If you want to know WHY this is a good idea, watch Randy’s lecture.

Rocky Boy reaches third straight 9C title game after beating North Star in a wild buzzer beater Thursday night
Chris Peterson Havre Daily News firstname.lastname@example.org
With a trip to the District 9C girls championship game on the line, the Rocky Boy Morning Stars and North Star Knights waged a furious battle that came down to the final seconds Thursday night at the HHS gymnasium, with Rocky Boy coming out on top in a thrilling finish. In the fourth quarter of the see-saw battle, Rocky Boy and North Star were tied at 43-43 with just 4:53 remaining in regulation. The Knights grabbed the lead on a put back off an offensive rebound by Natasha Dyrland to go up 45-43, only to see Tori Belcourt respond with a clutch 3-pointer to give Rocky Boy a slim 46-45 edge. Trailing by a point and without the ball with just 26 seconds to go, Dyrland made a miraculous play, stealing the inbounds pass and taking the ball coast-to-coast for the go ahead layup, making the score 47-46. Dyrland’s theft and score looked like it might send the Knights into the championship game. “Natasha is an All-State player,” North Star head coach Brian Campbell said. “And she made the kind of plays All-State players make. I thought she made the play that was going to win us the game.” After a timeout, Rocky Boy took the ball out of bounds with just six seconds remaining. And with the game and quite possibly the season hanging in the balance, Tori Belcourt got the ball and scored with an amazing driving lay-up at the buzzer, giving Rocky Boy a memorable 48-47 come-frombehind victory. “I just got the ball and looked to score,” Tori Belcourt said. “I was about to shoot a 3-pointer, but I saw an opening in the defense, so I just took it to the basket.” Tori Belcourt scored a team-high 14 points in the win for Rocky Boy, with five of her points coming in the final minute. Loni Belcourt added nine points in the game and Erin Broncho contributed with eight points as Rocky Boy advanced to the 9C title game for the third straight season. “North Star played us tough and beat us the first two times we played them and the last one was in overtime,” Rocky Boy head coach Mike Sangrey said. “So we knew that it was going to be a tough game. I thought that if they could beat us three times, then they were just better than we were, because it is hard to beat a good team three times.” North Star got a spectacular effort from Dyrland in the loss, as she scored 23 points and tore down nine rebounds in a valiant effort. Jourdan Han and Justine Beaudry each pitched in with 10 points for the Knights. “This district just has three really good girls teams,” Campbell said. “And its too bad that all three of us can’t move on to divisionals. “Right now we are kind of behind the eight-ball as far as divisionals are concerned,” he added. “But we are just going to move on and try to come back and finish in third place. Then we will just have to sit back and see what happens.” Rocky Boy jumped out to an 11-2 lead in the first quarter after a trey by Frances Eagleman and a basket by Broncho. After falling behind 17-8 with 7:41 left in the second quarter, the Knights got back into the game with an 8-0 run capped off by a pair of Dryland free throws, making it 17-16 with 3:37 left in the first half. The two teams traded back-and-forth baskets before Dryland nailed two field goals to give the Knights a slim 26-25 halftime lead. The Morning Stars regained the lead momentarily in the third quarter, and eventually built a 38-32 lead. But North Star once again closed the gap, pulling to within a single point after an old fashioned three-point play by Courtney Wendland, setting the stage for an unforgettable finale that sent a packed a house into a frenzy. The loss will send North Star to the consolation bracket where the Knights will take the floor tonight at 6:30 against Box Elder. Meanwhile, Rocky Boy advances to the championship game where the Morning Stars will square off against Big Sandy on Saturday night at 6:30.


Forty-eight percent of the more than 1,000 babies delivered at the Bekwai Municipal Hospital in Ashanti since June 2021 were pre-mature, with some of them delivered at six months, including one who weighed zero point-nine kilograms at birth.
However, statistics at the Hospital show a very high rate of survival of four out of every five pre-mature babies delivered at the Hospital.
The Head of the Pediatric Unit at the Hospital, Dr. Anna Amankwaah, disclosed this during this year’s commemoration of World Pre-Mature Day at Bekwai.
The natural gestation period for babies is 36 weeks, or nine months.
However, some of them are delivered before their expected time due to some risk factors and the problems associated with pregnancy.
The World Prematurity Day, which was initiated by the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants in 2008 to create awareness about the risks and challenges of babies delivered before the appointed date, has since 2011 become a world event on November 17 every year due to its global prevalence.
As part of the celebration, staff of the Bekwai Municipal Hospital went on a street procession from the hospital’s premises through key streets of the Asante Bekwai township amidst fun fare to create greater public awareness about the risk factors and challenges of the condition.
This was followed by a durbar of staff of the hospital, mothers, and their surviving premature babies, characterised by role play about prematurity newborns.
Some of the mothers, sharing their unique stories with the media, attributed the survival of their preterm babies partly to the professionalism and care provided by staff at the Hospital.
“I gave birth at 6 months. When I saw my baby, I lost any hope of her survival. It took only the caregivers to assuage my fears. During the 1 and a half months we spent here at the hospital, I was sad, even when we were discharged, and my parents also gave me hope,” Patience Asare, one of them, told the media.
The Head of the Pediatric Unit at the Hospital, Dr. Mrs. Anna Amankwaah, disclosed that, since June 2021, the Bekwai Hospital has delivered one thousand and four newborns, of which 48 percent were delivered before their due date.
She said, however, that, despite the high survival rate among such babies, expectant mothers need to take Antenatal clinic seriously to reduce the risk factors.
“The mothers should be compliant with their hospital visits and not skip Antenatal visits. They should not do their own home remedies, inducing, and all of that. And then to report as and when they feel any change or see complications arising.They should help comply and work hand in hand with health workers to help us give out the best for the babies to survive,” she advised.
The Medical Superintendent of the Hospital, Dr. Frank Serebuor, who is also the President of the Ghana Medical Association, appealed for more incubators and Baby Cots to adequately cater for newborns with unfavourable health conditions.
According to Dr. Serebuor, who is himself a Pediatrician Specialist, said pre-term babies have most of their vital organs, such as lungs, not fully developed and are also unable to regulate their body temperature, hence the need for them to be provided with Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), for the mother to keep them warm at all times.
The Hospital presented gifts to some mothers of surviving premature babies for complying with the guidance of health professionals before and after their birth.
This year’s celebration is themed: “Small Action, Big Impact.”

TOKYO, July 30 (AP)
World’s top-ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic’s dream of completing a Golden Slam was shattered by a loss to Alexander Zverev in the men’s singles semifinals of the Olympics on Friday. The Serbian player was defeated by Germany’s Zverev 1-6, 6-3, 6-1 in a match that lasted two hours and three minutes after falling behind in the first set. Djokovic was trying to become the first male player to complete the Golden Slam by winning a gold medal at the Olympics. He has won the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon this year while the US Open is yet to be held. Golden Slam is the winning of Olympic gold with all the four Grand Slams in the same year. Steffi Graf (1988) is the only tennis player to achieve this feat. Fourth seed Zverev will face Karen Khachanov for the gold medal. The Russian player defeated Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta 6-3, 6-3 in another semi-final. Djokovic will take on Busta in the bronze medal bout. This is Djokovic’s first defeat in the last two and a half months. Earlier, he had to face defeat against Rafael Nadal at the Italian Open. In humid weather here, Djokovic failed to maintain his momentum after winning the first set with ease and Zverev scored points with ease.
Djokovic had previously won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. However, he has a chance to win a gold medal in mixed doubles as well. She and Nina Stojanovich will face Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) pair of Elena Vesnina and Aslan Karatsev in the mixed doubles semi-finals.

Choosing the name for your dog can be a difficult task for some, exciting for others, after all a name is forever, so it is normal to have doubts and search for ideas on the web in order to find the right one. If you are looking for inspiration, you are in the right place!
After suggesting which names to give to your cat, here are some ideas to identify the ideal one for the dog.
Dogs like certain sounds
It is scientifically proven that dogs respond more to certain sounds. Behavioral veterinarian Christopher Pachel states that “short and broken” sounds make the dog react faster, while “long and slow” sounds give the opposite result.
A short name is easier to memorize and learn even by the dog, it is no coincidence that among the most common names for dogs there are precisely those with two or three syllables, for example Kora, Jack, Spot… On the contrary it recommended to avoid names consisting of two or more words, which become difficult to remember and work little when you want to recall your faithful friend.
You should never choose names similar to words that are usually used during the day, because there is the risk of confusing the darling. Harsh sounds like “k” or “ch” help dogs distinguish their names from surrounding noises.
Of course, all names similar to those of another pet or family member should also be avoided, otherwise they will respond every time you call them.
The name is a signal
For us, the name is a way in which we identify ourselves and present ourselves to others, for the dog the name is above all a “signal”, a “message”. For this reason, when choosing a name for your furry dog, you must give space to your imagination without neglecting a very important aspect, namely training.
It is very important to choose an appropriate name to educate and call the animal. The dog will hear his name being said countless times and at that moment he will associate that sound with a command.
Useful tips for choosing the name for to the dog
If you have just adopted a dog you can also wait a few days before giving him a name: in this way you will have the time to understand his character, if it has particular tastes in terms of play or nutrition, and then choose a name that reflects his characteristics and its personality. This way you will be sure that you have made the right choice.
If you decide to adopt a dog from an animal shelter, which has already been given a name, it is advisable to keep that one, since the dog has already got used to that sound, it is preferable not to modify it, nor cripple it or use endearments.
Beyond these technical aspects, choosing a name you like is the most important thing. Give it a try: if when you repeat it you feel good, then it’s the right name!

|Non-satirical article in Jewish Chronicle (click to enlarge)|
Ronnie Fraser is someone who I previously greatly admired. He fought a recent bitter legal battle against the University and College Union for their antisemitic bullying (dressed up as 'anti-Zionism' of course) only to come up against the antisemitic British judiciary (dressed up as 'anti-Zionist' of course). From today's Jewish Chronicle (which readers of this blog will know has extensive form with respect to it official position of accepted dhimittude) I discovered that Fraser:
..agreed to speak at the American Freedom Initiative (AFA) .... He appeared at the Los Angeles conference despite the presence of Robert Spencer, who was last week banned from entering Britain by Home Secretary Theresa May..but here are the good bits:
Jewish community leaders had attempted to discourage Mr Fraser from taking part in the eventGiven his brave fight against the UCU bigots and bullies I was expecting to read about Fraser standing up to these unnamed 'Jewish community leaders' but instead we find:
In a statement this week, Mr Fraser said "He would perhaps have taken a different view on whether to attend the conference if he had known the level of controversy surrounding Mr Spencer".The piece de resistance is, however, this gem:
Mr Fraser said "While I have heard of him, I did not attend Robert Spencer's talk, nor do I align myself with or advocate his particular doctrine."So, as per my satirical article, we can be comforted to know that Mr Fraser could not in any way have been 'infected' with Spencer's views since he actually never heard what those views were.
Also interesting is the guilt by accusation reference to Geert Wilders. There was I thinking that Geert Wilders was an incredibly brave freedom fighter who had sacrificed his personal safety, freedom and livelihood by standing up to Islamic terrorism (and who also happens to be one of the only politicians in Holland who is strongly pro-Israel), but who is only described by the JC in the following terms:
Other speakers ..included Geert Wilders, who was cleared two years ago of inciting hatred against Muslims following comments about Islam".Hooray for free speech eh?

Obama: What Blacks and Progressives Have Bought Into
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford
"Blacks and progressives have neutered themselves."
Black Agenda Report has lo ng held that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are identical, politically. Both are associated with the Democratic Leadership Council, the corporate rightwing of the Democratic Party. Clinton proudly upholds the DLC banner, while Obama claims to not be a member, but behaves exactly as if he were one.
Both Obama and Clinton have repeatedly told us, if we were really listening, that they plan to defend America's so-called "interests" in the world - however the U.S. defines those interests. In real-world language - as opposed to American double-speak, code-speak, and warlike nationalism-speak - both are imperialists who call for huge increases in military manpower, that will inevitably lead to more wars of aggression. Hopefully, neither is as crazy as John McCain, who is busy trying to convince Republican voters that he's itching for a fight with anybody, anywhere, for any reason. But these are only cosmetic differences among imperialists - differences in tone, not substance.
Our primary concern is the effect this electoral season has had on masses of Blacks and those non-Blacks that consider themselves progressive. We have witnessed a capitulation to the DLC-inspired Obama campaign on the part of white so-called progressives. African Americans are now near-universally in the Obama camp. Both groups imagine they are witnessing a "movement" in the making, when in fact there is no such thing as a movement being born in a hundreds-of-millions of dollars electoral campaign. Rather, progressives of all races have abandoned movement politics, thus ensuring that Obama remains unchallenged by the Left, free to move further to the Right as a general election campaigner and in the White House.
"Especially among African Americans, there is a virtual refusal to allow issues to intrude on Obama's parade."
This wholesale surrender to Clintonism with a Black face and winning smile cannot be justified on any substantive political basis. Therefore, progressives find themselves with no choice but to "hope" that progressive "change" will somehow occur, despite the fact that Obama has laid out positions that are anti-progressive by any measure. Especially among African Americans, there is a virtual refusal to allow issues to intrude on Obama's parade.
There was only a remnant of a movement left in the United States, before Barack Obama's phenomenal rise. Black and white progressives claim they are prepared to resume agitation after Obama's election - that they will rev up the movement once again if they discover the new president turns out to be what he has repeatedly promised to be: a corporate Democrat committed to imperial policies abroad, who shuns any analysis or demand that does not conform to his own "race neutral" - in practice, "race blind" - domestic policies. If progressives truly believe they can turn mass, grassroots politics on and off, like a switch, they are delusional. Large groups of human beings don't act that way. Barack Obama's honeymoon will surely last for years, no matter what crises he mishandles or provokes.
Blacks and progressives have neutered themselves. They have dropped out of struggle, and made themselves irrelevant by refusing to make Obama accountable for his own policy positions and statements. It will be a very, very long journey back home.
For Black Agenda Radio, I'm Glen Ford.

President Trump would be making a huge mistake in commuting the prison sentence of Rod Blagojevich, the former governor of Illinois. Blagojevich is corrupt to the core. He is not the victim of anything except his own guile.
Let’s remember why Blagojevich is in prison. Among other crimes, he actually tried to sell Barack Obama’s Senate seat. If he were not arrested in time, Blagojevich would have likely sold the seat to then-Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. for $1.5 million in campaign contributions.
Speculation that Trump may pardon Blagojevich or commute his sentence apparently results from a Wall Street Journal op-ed by Blagojevich on Monday headlined, “I am in prison for practicing politics.” That is exactly the problem. In Illinois, corruption is endemic. Blagojevich’s Republican predecessor, George Ryan, also went to prison. A pardon of Blagojevich would seriously undercut the fight against corruption.
The McDonnell Supreme Court decision has apparently given … Read More ➡
“People who make a living off other people’s fortunes or misfortunes are parasites,” Frank Sinatra once observed. It is becoming increasingly difficult to avoid putting stripper/porn star Stormy Daniels in that category. Last month Ms. Daniels filed a civil suit in Manhattan federal court against President Donald Trump and his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, claiming that weeks before the 2016 election, each had pressured her to keep silent about a sexual one-nighter between her and Trump a decade earlier, paying her $130,000 as an inducement. The complaint appears highly specious. Yet many in the media prefer to see her as speaking truth to power.
Stephanie Clifford aka “Stormy Daniels,” now 39, a native of Baton Rouge, is a giant of the porn industry, assuming the industry can be considered the land of giants. She’s appeared in more than 250 adult film reels, directing any number of them. But lately her … Read More ➡
Sometimes ulterior motives aren’t that hard to figure out. In the case of former FBI Director Robert Mueller, appointed last May as independent special counsel by the Justice Department to probe alleged Russian government meddling in the 2016 presidential election, the end game has become clear: Impeach President Donald Trump.
Much of the focus now is on the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, determined to give Mueller and his staff a vote of confidence. “It would be suicide” for Trump to fire Mueller, noted Sen. Grassley, who, despite objections from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, seeks a committee vote this week on a bill to protect Mueller’s job. Actually, it might be suicidal for Trump not to fire Mueller.
The accusations that certain unnamed Russian officials conspired with Trump and his top campaign aides to steal the 2016 election isn’t going away anytime soon. That’s the way … Read More ➡
As if President Donald Trump isn’t facing enough challenges to his administration’s legitimacy, now he’s got another one. On March 28, U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte granted standing to a lawsuit by the attorneys general of the District of Columbia and Maryland alleging that the president, by continuing to profit from his Washington, D.C. hotel, is violating the constitutional ban on federal officials receiving gifts from domestic and foreign entities. According to Judge Messitte, his actions are causing “economic harm.” Yet evidence suggests that neither economics nor constitutional principle has much to do with this case.
Public officials in this country from the start have faced the pressure of being “bought and paid for.” Our Framers, recognizing the ever-present temptations of corruption, created safeguards to bar office holders from receiving presents, or “emoluments,” from outside parties. Article I, Section 6, Clause 2 of the Constitution, for example, bars sitting members … Read More ➡
Following in the footsteps of cowardice exhibited by the NFL’s owners, coaches, and media partners, the league’s corporate sponsors remained mostly mute following the offensive display by players who disrespected the symbols of American freedom by kneeling during the Star Spangled Banner.
Friday night’s remarks in Huntsville, Ala. by President Trump, who called upon team owners to “fire” the “SOB” players who refused to stand during the anthem, was met with a firestorm of resistance. Depending on the team, the league-wide response by more than 200 of its players was for some players – and sometimes entire squads – to stay in locker rooms, sit on benches, interlock arms in unity or otherwise go missing during the flag-honoring ceremonies of games.
Besides showing condemnation towards Trump and his remarks in every way imaginable, the media has gone into its typical “what do you think” … Read More ➡
President Trump’s withdrawal from the un-ratified, legally invalid, and environmentally ineffective Paris Climate agreement offered another opportunity for corporate executives, from Silicon Valley and elsewhere, to once again bash America-first-ism and its No. 1 advocate.
The globalist CEOs, already on the record against pro-U.S. Trump policies such as immigration limitation and rights of religious conscience, fired away immediately upon the president’s announcement last week. That the Paris deal required much in the way of U.S. taxpayer funds and reduced carbon dioxide emissions, while India and China coal plants would belch away for years, was irrelevant.
Out front, as is often the case, was Apple’s Tim Cook, who said he called to convince the president to remain in the agreement, but failed. He felt the need to compose a company-wide memo to employees – under the presumption that they all share his political positions – to explain … Read More ➡
After saying shortly after the inauguration that he expected Donald Trump to do “evil things,” Alphabet (parent company of Google) executive chairman Eric Schmidt was back with another rant earlier this month about the president.
This time the adjective addressed intellect rather than malevolence. Schmidt seized an opportunity to vent at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, bemoaning limits on special visas for foreign workers in “special occupations,” mainly high-tech fields. But the target of his frustration wasn’t just the president.
“I spent the last 20 years announcing that the single stupidest policy in the entire American political system was the limit on H-1B visas,” Schmidt said. “I have recently been trumped (pun apparently intended) by an America where you take the highly legal and highly technical people of seven countries … and you keep them trapped at JFK so our lawyers can spring them out.”
That trend likely won’t change after the latest controversial stance that Schultz took, utilizing the policies of the company he leads (until early April, when he steps down) to advance his political goals. But some cracks are showing with this one.
When it comes to President Donald Trump and knee-jerk reactions to policy decisions without gathering all the facts, it seems the mostly liberal CEOs of the best-known Silicon Valley companies can’t help themselves. They would rather shoot from the lip first, taking their cues from all the president’s leftist enemies, instead of gathering all the evidence and speaking responsibly on the issues – if at all.
It happened again over the weekend, this time in response to the President’s executive order that temporarily suspended the admission of foreign nationals into the United States from seven countries – Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen – which are viewed as sources of potential threats, based upon security reviews by Obama administration officials. The reason for the suspension, Trump explained, is so appropriate security agencies that normally screen foreign nationals entering the country would have the time and … Read More ➡

The NBA Opens Practice Facilities In Some Cities On May 1st
Normally at this point, we'd be in both the NBA and NHL playoffs and baseball would be in full swing. The worldwide coronavirus pandemic has put everything on hold, but there could be some good news for those hoping for some sports action.
ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski says on his Twitter feed that the NBA is giving the go-ahead for teams to open their practice facilities to players on Friday, May 1. This only applies to teams in cities that’ve “relaxed say-at-home orders.”
He’s also careful to point out that this move in no way implies an “imminent” resumption of the 2019-20 season. The NBA is nowhere near ready to make that call but getting players “safely into gyms was a priority.”
There are also rumors of the NHL looking to get players back on the ice and Major League Baseball hoping to get on track July 1st.
Patience is the key here, so time will tell if and when it'll be "Game On!"

Commercial farming is the business of growing crops and/or raising livestock in order to produce food for human and animal consumption. It is important to note that it is a business. This involves the need to be profitable so as to continue operating. I believe that this is an often overlooked aspect of farming by consumers. In as much as farming is about making a profit, it is also about managing land. Farmers who manage their land well are more likely to be successful.
There is also a responsibility to being a land manager. Farmers are in a position to be stewards of the land that they manage. I grew up on a farm in Cathcart in the Eastern Cape, interviewed farmers in the Springbokvlakte for my fourth year project, interviewed farmers in the Kouga River catchment area for my masters, am distributing questionnaires to farmers throughout the Eastern Cape for my PhD research, and have been working with dairy farmers for the last three years in the Eastern Cape. In all of this interaction there has been a focus on conservation ecology and sustainable agriculture. The very large majority of farmers I have spoken to have expressed a great desire to look after their land. Farmers most often tend to be people that love nature, and care about the land with which they farm.
I get frustrated when I often hear how farmers are portrayed in a negative light, especially relating to issues of sustainability. There are various explanations for why farmers have adopted practices that are perceived as negative from an environmentalism perspective.
Sometimes it is just a lack of knowledge. This lack of knowledge can be from the farmers, who do not realise the potential negative impact of practices that have traditionally been seen as good agricultural practices. It can also be from the non-farmer side, where there is a lack of understanding (by consumers), or a miscommunication (by e.g. media, government, non-governmental organisations, private companies) of what farming practices entail and the impact thereof. The lack of knowledge is becoming less prominent in this day and age of technology and the internet though. Another reason is that farmers are unable to adopt better practices because of financial pressure. Many of the positive practices which promote biodiversity conservation and environmentalism can be at a great cost to farmers. As mentioned previously, farming is a business, and it is difficult for a business person to adopt a practice that will not result in a profit, which is the case with some of these positive practices. There are obviously also cases where farmers just do not care about the environment or the negative impact of their practices, but I believe these are a significant minority. I cannot point out every possibility, but rather want to make the point that there are many explanations as to why farmers do not always adopt what are perceived to be more environmentally friendly practices.
The beauty of sustainable agriculture is that it encourages a philosophy of promoting environmentally friendly practices while acknowledging, and promoting, the need for financial stability. These practices benefit the environment, the farmer and the consumer. Farmers who adopt sustainable management principles are playing a vital role in producing food, while also stewarding the land that supports food production so that future generations can enjoy the same productivity. It is important for consumers of agricultural products to support and encourage the sustainable production of food.

Missouri’s prison population was at an all-time high in September of 2017 with 33,243 inmates, but it has since fallen to 30,260, the Department of Corrections stated on January 14th.
Missouri has the eighth highest incarceration rate out of the United States. Republican House Speaker Elijah Haahr wants to change that by focusing more on giving nonviolent criminals a second chance without forcing them to waste their life in jail.
Republican House Speaker Elijah Haahr spoke to Missouri lawmakers during his opening day speech saying that they should provide more opportunities to “those in a broken criminal justice system.” Currently, Haahr is backing up some legislation which is sponsored by the House Budget Committee Chairman, Cody Smith.
This legislation would create more options for judges, adding an exception to minimum sentences. Currently, state law requires criminals to serve 40, 50, or 80 percent of their assigned prison terms.
This measure would allow a judge to look at and consider the offenders character, rehabilitation chances, and whether or not a minimum prison term would be necessary. This exception would not be granted for crimes that involved serious physical violence, firearms, or most sexual crimes.
“If we can keep folks out of prison, get them rehabilitated, put them on a different track,” said Smith “not only does it lead to better outcomes in their lives, but …. ultimately the hope would be that we could avoid having to build these two new prison facilities at hundreds of millions of dollars of expense.”
Smith is working towards making Missouri’s minimum sentencing law no longer mandatory unless it has to do with dangerous felons. His goals somewhat align with Governor Parsons, who has recently been working to add more drug courts throughout Missouri.
Along the lines of Smiths dream, a drug court would help an offender get treatment and return to the world without losing years of their life to a jail cell.

- Oat milk and almond milk are both calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin A-rich dairy milk replacements.
- If you have a nut allergy or wish to enhance your vitamin B12 and riboflavin intake, oat milk is the preferable choice.
- If you’re trying to lose weight, almond milk is the way to go because it’s low in calories and fat.
Is almond or oat milk better for you?
- Gluten may be present in some oat milks, rendering them unsuitable for gluten-free diets.
- More sugar and preservatives may be present. This is done to extend the shelf life of the milk and improve its flavor.
How to make oat milk
You may have had McQueens oat milk before, but have you ever attempted to make it yourself? It’s easy to make your own oat milk, and it only requires one ingredient.
To produce your own oat milk, all you need is 100 grams of porridge oats. It’s easier than you think to make your own oat milk. You can control exactly what goes into it if you make it yourself.
- Fill a bowl halfway with water from the tap and add the porridge oats. Allow the bowl to sit for 4 hours or overnight after covering it with a tea towel. Do not store it in the refrigerator.
- After allowing the oats to soak overnight or for 4 hours, strain the mixture through a strainer, allowing the water to drain. Rinse the oats for a few seconds under the tap.
- Combine the oats, 750ml cold water, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth, with no visible oats. The creamier your homemade oat milk is, the more you combine it.
- Place the sieve over a basin or jug and let the liquid to drain. Allow for 1 hour of straining time.
- Take the sides of the cloth together and squeeze tightly to remove the oat milk once the majority of the mixture has been drained.
- You can now bottle it and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to drink it. If the oat milk is too thick for you, add 50ml of cool water until it reaches the desired consistency.
Oat Milk vs Cow’s milk?
If you’re lactose intolerant and looking for a dairy-free, gluten-free milk substitute, oat milk is the way to go. The contents in both are dramatically different, with oat milk containing significantly less calcium than cow’s milk. Although certain oat milks contain calcium, it is recommended to get calcium from cow’s milk. Vitamin D and B12 levels are higher in oat milk. This isn’t to suggest that cow’s milk doesn’t include these essential vitamins; but, if vitamins are vital to you, we recommend choosing cow’s milk.
Oat Milk Calories
You might be shocked to learn that oat milk has a low calorie count. Although the number of calories in oat milk varies depending on the brand, the average number of calories in oat milk is around 130. With 39 calories, this is the least calorie-dense of our Oatly barista-style oat milk. Oatly full milk has 160 calories per 100ml, semi-skimmed milk has 46 calories per 100ml, and skimmed milk has 37 calories per 100ml.
Some people can’t or won’t drink cow’s milk because they don’t enjoy the flavor. Of course, oat milk is preferable. However, if you want to get all of the beneficial nutrients from cow’s milk, this is the way to go.
Which is the best milk alternative?
There is no clear winner because almond and oat milk both have their own set of advantages. Oat milk is also thought to have more calories than almond milk. Lactose-intolerant people will benefit from oat milk. It has 120 calories per serving against 60 calories in almond milk, so it may be the better choice if you’re looking to save calories.
Almond Milk vs Oat Milk The verdict
Both of these plant-based milks have numerous advantages. There are a range of options available depending on what you’re searching for in a plant-based milk. Whichever alternative milk products you choose, we’re confident you’ll enjoy them. Oat milk is one of the best tasting oat milks and is ideal for lactose intolerant individuals. Because of its creamy and nutty flavor, almond milk is ideal for cereal. The dispute between almond milk and oat milk has no clear winner; each have their advantages, and it comes down to personal preference.
Which milk is the most nutritious?
Hemp milk is prepared from crushed, soaked hemp seeds that are free of the psychotropic ingredient found in Cannabis sativa plants.
Protein and omega-3 and omega-6 unsaturated fats are abundant in the seeds. As a result, hemp milk has a somewhat higher concentration of these nutrients than other plant milks.
Although hemp milk is almost carb-free, some brands include sweets, which raise the carb count. Make sure to read the ingredient label and get hemp or any other plant milk that hasn’t been sweetened.
On the ingredient label, sugar may be described as brown rice syrup, evaporated cane juice, or cane sugar.
The seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant are used to make hemp milk. While the drink isn’t psychotropic, it does include more healthful fats and protein than other plant milks.
Which milk is the most effective for weight loss?
For most people, cow’s milk is the ideal option because it provides a good source of protein and calcium.
Switch to reduced-fat or skim milk if you’re attempting to lose weight.
Lactose intolerant people should choose lactose-free milk.
Soy milk is recommended for those who have a cow’s milk protein allergy or who eat a vegan or plant-based diet because it contains the majority of the nutrients found in cow’s milk.
Calcium and vitamin D are essential in all types of milk, so pick calcium- and vitamin D-fortified versions whenever possible.

What are some of the drawbacks of oat milk?
- Sugary: Commercially produced oat milk contains a lot of sugar, especially if it’s sweetened or flavored. That’s why it’s best to buy unsweetened options wherever possible to keep the quantity of sugar in your diet under control.
- Not as nutrient-dense as commercial oat milk: Homemade oat milk is not fortified and has less nutrients. The nutritional content of nutritionally dense whole grain oats is lost when the pulp is strained from the drink.
- Not a good substitute: While oatmeal is beneficial for babies, oat milk should not be used as a nutritional substitute for breastmilk or formula. This is not a viable milk substitute for babies since it lacks the nutritious source of full nutrition needed for growth and development.
- A lot of carbs and calories: Commercially produced oat milk can include up to 130 calories and 25 grams of carbs. So, if you’re trying to stick to a low-calorie diet, this beverage isn’t for you.
Is oat milk less fattening than cow’s milk?
“A cup of cow’s milk contains 8 grams of protein, which is around 60% of the recommended dietary requirement (RDA) for toddlers and 40% of the RDA for children. Furthermore, the quality of cow’s milk proteins is excellent, with 20% whey and 80% casein containing all nine essential amino acids.
“Other elements found in cow’s milk include calcium, iodine, and a variety of vitamins,” she says.
Protein and calcium
APD Tania Ferraretto states, “Oat milk has a lower protein content than cow’s milk. Although some manufacturers boost their oat milk, oat milk is naturally low in calcium.”
This isn’t an issue if you eat dairy or add other appropriate sources of protein and calcium in your diet on a daily basis. However, oat milk is not a nutritionally appropriate substitute for persons who require a cow’s milk substitute, such as newborns and children who are allergic to cow’s milk.
Catherine Saxelby, a certified nutritionist with Foodwatch (who refers to plant-based milk as’mylk,’ with a ‘y,’ to distinguish it from mammalian milk from cows, goats, and other animals), believes it should be named oat water rather than oat milk because it contains only about 10% oats on average.
“It’s definitely not for any calcium-required teens in your household unless it’s fortified,” she says.
Oat milk contains less fat and saturated fat than cow’s milk, which may be a selling feature for people trying to cut down on their fat intake.
However, it’s one of the main reasons why oat milk or even reduced-fat cow’s milk and other plant-based milk replacements isn’t acceptable as a primary milk drink for young children, who require fat to assist fulfill their energy needs for proper development.
Oat milk nutritionally outperforms cow’s milk in terms of fiber content, and oats are well-known for being an excellent source of heart-healthy soluble fiber beta-glucan. Is it, then, genuinely a benefit?
It is unquestionably helpful to increase your beta-glucan consumption. According to Dynan, a five-week research in men indicated that consuming around three cups of oat milk daily lowered total blood cholesterol by 3% and “bad” LDL cholesterol by 5%. Another study found that eating 3g of oat beta-glucans per day reduced “bad” LDL blood cholesterol by 57% on average.
“Beta-glucan may also aid in increasing feelings of fullness and lowering blood sugar levels following a meal,” she adds.
“Some oat milks do provide beta-glucan, a fiber that can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels,” explains Ferraretto.
“However, rolled oats, oat bran, and barley are other dietary sources of beta-glucan,” she says.
Saxelby concurs. “If you’re looking for beta-glucan, you’re better off eating more rolled oats porridge for breakfast, for example or baking with oats or oat bran.”
We found no additional sugar in any of the commercial oat milks we tested (although you can get flavoured varieties that do). However, some people may find oat milk appetizing since it is a naturally sweet drink with up to double the carbs of cow’s milk.
“It has a subtle, semi-sweet flavor that works well as a substitute for low-fat or skim milk,” Saxelby notes.
Choosing oat milk
These are our top recommendations for using oat milk as a substitute for cow’s milk, rather than merely as a pleasant beverage.
- It’s not a good substitute for cow’s milk for youngsters under the age of five because it’s not as nutritious.
- Look for a calcium-fortified product. Look for products with 120mg calcium per 100mL (the same amount as reduced-fat cow’s milk) on the nutrition information panel.
Is oat milk a better alternative to conventional milk?
Oat milk, which joins other non-dairy milk alternatives such as almond, coconut, and soy, is the newest addition to the non-dairy milk alternative world, and it’s a popular choice when served as an oat milk latte. While the consistency of oat milk is more similar to that of actual dairy milk, it’s vital to remember that the two are not interchangeable, especially when it comes to nutrition.
The nutritional profile is one of the most significant distinctions between oat milk and dairy milk nutrition. Oat milk has fewer nutrients than dairy milk, and the nutrients it does have are mostly fortified. That is, they are introduced during the manufacturing process rather than occuring naturally.
Each 8-ounce glass of dairy milk has thirteen necessary elements (protein, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A, phosphorus, vitamin B 12, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, niacin, zinc, iodine, selenium, and potassium), but a glass of original oat milk contains only five (calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A, riboflavin and iron). All of the nutrients in oat milk are fortified, with the exception of iron. While vitamin A and D are added to dairy milk, the rest of the nutrients are found naturally, making it a nutrient-dense option.
Dairy milk offers nearly twice the protein of oat milk, in addition to delivering more nutrients overall. Protein is an important factor to consider when selecting foods and beverages since it aids in the development of lean muscle, and having enough at each meal can make you feel full and pleased. Every 8-ounce glass of dairy milk contains 8 grams of protein, whereas the same amount of oat milk normally contains 4 grams (though the protein content of oat milk varies by brand, so check the label). Dairy milk is also a good source of complete, high-quality protein, which means that each glass provides a complete spectrum of necessary amino acids. The majority of plant-based protein sources, such as oats, are incomplete proteins that lack some of the critical amino acids our bodies require.
Real dairy milk also has a short ingredient listjust milk, vitamin A, and vitamin Dso you always know what you’re getting. The minerals and additives in oat milk might vary a lot from one brand to the next. Because fortification of non-dairy milk substitutes is not controlled by the federal government, certain brands may fortify more than others. Some oat milk variations feature more than 10 ingredients, including stabilizers and emulsifiers such gellan gum, locust bean gum, and sunflower lecithin. To make an informed decision, it’s critical to study and compare nutrition labels and ingredient lists.
The carbohydrate content of oat milk and dairy milk is also different. Oat milk can include up to 24 grams of carbs per serving, compared to 12 grams in dairy milk. Sugar is also added to some oat milk variants. The American Dietary Guidelines encourage limiting additional sugar in your diet, and the good news for milk aficionados is that typical white dairy milk contains no added sugar. Lactose, a naturally occurring sugar, is found in white milk.
Here’s how 8 ounces of low-fat (1%) milk compares to a regular oat milk in terms of nutrition:
- Calcium (30%), vitamin D (30%), phosphorus (25%), riboflavin (25%), vitamin B12 (20%), protein (16%), vitamin A (ten percent)*, potassium (ten percent), niacin (ten percent)**
- Calcium (35%)*, vitamin D (25%)*, riboflavin (30%)*, vitamin A (10%)*, iron (10%) (10 percent )
- Water, oats, oat bran, tricalcium phosphate, sea salt, gellan gum, vitamin D, riboflavin, and vitamin A are among the ingredients.
- Nutrients denote foods that supply 10% or more of the Daily Value of listed nutrients. As nutrient fortification varies, nutrients will vary by brand, flavor, and fat content.
- Ingredients may differ depending on the brand, flavor, and fat content of the product.
Dairy milk is also a more economical option than oat milk, which costs around $0.86 per glass, and other non-dairy milk options, costing about a quarter each glass, making it a simple way to get more nutritional bang for your budget.
Real dairy milk is one of the first farm-to-table foods, and it’s nutrient-dense, healthy, and little processed. B vitamins for energy, high-quality protein for lean muscle, vitamin A for a strong immune system, and other bone-building elements such as calcium and vitamin D are all included. Few non-dairy milk substitutes can match its comprehensive nutritional profile.
Dairy milk also has a number of health benefits that have been shown through decades of research. According to ChooseMyPlate.gov, “intake of dairy products is also connected with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, as well as lower blood pressure in adults.” On the other hand, the nutritional impact of non-dairy substitutes has not been properly investigated.
So, the next time you’re ordering a latte or picking up anything at the store, keep in mind that non-dairy milk substitutes don’t have the same nutritional value, functioning, or flavor as real dairy milk. Understanding your options and the distinctions between them might assist you in deciding which beverage is best for you and your family.
You can freeze milk in small containers (or an ice cube tray) before it expires if you want to keep it for later. You’ll see that the milk (and oat milk) separates, which is quite normal. Allow it to thaw in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it. Give it a good shake and it’ll be ready to drink or use in your favorite recipes in no time. If you’re short on time in the morning, those frozen milk cubes can be used in a variety of ways, including cold-brew iced coffee and smoothie recipes.

How nutritious is oat milk?
“Oat milk provides more vitamin D than cow’s milk, which has a variety of health benefits like encouraging healthy bone and dental health and boosting the immune system,” Mina explains. In addition, the plant-based beverage contains 50% vitamin B12, compared to 18% in cow’s milk.
Is oat milk causing me to gain weight?
As long as you don’t drink too much oat milk, you shouldn’t gain weight quickly. Most people just drink a modest amount of oat milk in their coffee, so if you’re eating healthy, fresh vegetables, oat milk may be a terrific supplement to any diet.
Furthermore, by making your own oat milk, you can avoid any unwanted ingredients and eat fresh, natural oat milk with even more nutrients than store-bought oat milk.
Is oat milk going to make me fat?
Are you on a strict diet and want to know if oat milk is a good weight-loss option? There are numerous factors to consider when it comes to reducing weight, from remaining fit through exercise to eating healthily and following diet plans.
To impart nutrients and improve taste, replacing dairy milk with plant-based oat milk is a terrific alternative beverage option. Learn about the dairy-free weight-loss benefits of oat milk.
Is oat milk beneficial to weight loss? Because it is a low fat, low sugar, and low calorie beverage, oat milk is beneficial for weight loss. Consume in moderation and avoid sweetened kinds, which add unneeded sugar and calories to your diet.
To be fit and healthy, one must consume a well-balanced diet rich in macro- and micronutrients. Milk is one of the most important components of a well-balanced diet, however cow’s milk is high in lipids.
As a result, oat milk is an excellent dairy-free milk substitute. In addition, several health professionals recommend oat milk for weight loss.
It is dairy-free and suitable for those who do not consume dairy products. Continue reading to get the answers to some of the most often asked questions regarding oat milk and how it can help you lose weight.
Is it possible to gain weight by drinking almond milk?
Sweetened almond milk provides certain health benefits, but there are a few things to remember:
Protein content is low. The protein content of sweetened almond milk is lower than that of soy milk or cow’s milk. Each 8-ounce serving contains 1 gram of protein. If you switch to almond milk, be sure you’re receiving adequate protein from other sources.
Calorie content is higher. Sweetened almond milk is higher in sugar and calories than unsweetened almond milk. Drinking too much sweetened almond milk (or other sweetened beverage) can make you gain weight.
Not suited for children under the age of three. Protein levels in sweetened almond milk are minimal. It is not suggested for babies under the age of one year.
Almond milk that has not been sweetened is healthier than almond milk that has been sweetened. Enjoy sweetened almond milk in moderation if you desire it.

The best choose your own adventure vampire book I've read.
The author's writing style sets the mood very well. This book did not feel too kiddy. A movie I can compare this to in feel would be, Young Sherlock Holmes. The book is not terribly difficult nor is it easy. Although I've heard people say it's on the difficult side. This book is meant to be played with dice, paper and of course making decisions by going to the right page. The ending is very suspenseful, and something to look forward to! Every good book like this has a worthy villain and this one is no exception. The vampire Lord Tenebron is a worthy adversary!
more in depth...
A short and easy read, a relatively thin book that can fit in your coat pocket.
Basically a "Choose your adventure book" that also requires paper, pencil & two dice, but it's possible to read through without doing so.
You are a generic hero that embarks on an adventure to defeat the vampire Lord Tenebron.
The main aspect of this book is to explore a creepy mansion while finding and collecting the right items to make it through the book and to also defeat Lord Tenebron.
You will encounter a hell hound, an elf, giant spider, barbarian, witch and other things that go bump in the night. Personally I wish that there were more encounters with vampire-esque things. A note worthy creative scene is when you encounter an old man to play a game of Chess.
The game is a little hard because there are some blind choices you have to make, and it seems like the only way to get it right for certain is from your experience of having been through both choices.
All in all a fun read, wait until you finally get to encounter Lord Tenebron for the final battle. They did a good job for that scene simply by the way they put the illustrations into the book.

Gallery Launch Gallery SplashNews.com Shakira and Gerard Piqué are still practicing social distancing, at least when it comes to co-parenting -- they both showed up to their kid's baseball game, but sat pretty far away from each other. The exes were out supporting their 9-year-old son, Milan , Saturday in Barcelona ... Gerard was with his mom on one side of the stands, while Shakira came with some of her pals and her mom, sitting on the other side. SplashNews.com The singer even spent some alone time in the dugout, too. We're told they didn't look at each other the entire game ... it wasn't until their son was saying his goodbyes after the game that they got close.

Alan Rickman , the late Harry Potter star, is making his mixed feelings about sticking with the franchise known through diary entries published Saturday by The Guardian. The diary entries about Potter demonstrate Rickman’s devotion to his character Professor Severus Snape but also his reluctance to lock himself in to a long-running franchise. As early as 2002, just after the release of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , the second installment of the series, Rickman wrote that he’d spoken to his agent: “Reiterating no more HP. They don’t want to hear it.” Rickman opted to continue as Snape, however, a decision that was reinforced just before the filming of the fifth entry in 2005: The actor had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and decided to see Potter through to its end. “Finally, yes to HP 5,” he writes. “The sensation is neither up nor down. The argument that wins is the one that says: ‘See it through. It’s your story.'” Rickman, who died from … [Read more...] about Alan Rickman Diaries Chronicle Ever-Changing Feelings On ‘Harry Potter’ Franchise
Though she has done versatile roles in movies like Jalwa, Agneepath, and Raja Hindustani , Archana Puran Singh is mostly known for her comic roles like Ms. Briganza from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Preeto in Mohabbatein . However, in an interview with Indian Express, Archana tells how she has more to give than just comedy and thinks that she has to follow Neena Gupta's footsteps and start asking for more challenging roles. Talking about her Kuch Kuch Hota Hai role, the actor said, "The chhaap(image) is so solid that a lot of people become puzzled as to what role should they offer me after Ms. Briganza." She added that even though 25 years passed since the movie was released, her character is still following her. "People feel that I am best suited for only comedy roles. As an actor, I feel deprived, cheated, and I have been left yearning for good roles," she said. Singh also confessed that she is 'dying to perform' as an artiste and said that the … [Read more...] about Archana Puran Singh Follows Neena Gupta’s Footsteps And Asks For Work

Rita Gardner , an original cast member of the long-running Off Broadway phenomenon The Fantasticks , died Saturday of leukemia at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York. She was 87. Gardner’s death was announced by her friend and colleague Alex Rybeck on Facebook . In 1960, Gardner, who had recently appeared Off Broadway in the Jerry Herman musical review Nightcap , was cast in what would be her signature role: Luisa, or “The Girl,” in the Harvey Schmidt-Tom Jones musical The Fantasticks. Based loosely on Edmond Rostand’s 1894 play The Romancers , the musical told the allegorical story of two fathers who trick their children – The Girl, Luisa, and The Boy, Matt – into falling in love by pretending to oppose the union. The production, at a tiny Off Broadway venue in Greenwich Village called the Sullivan Street Playhouse, became a huge success, spawning a hit song (“Try To Remember”), running 42 years and boosting the careers of Gardner and other cast members … [Read more...] about Rita Gardner Dies: Original Cast Member Of ‘The Fantasticks’ Was 87

Following Chadwick Boseman ’s shocking death in 2020, Marvel Studios was tasked with the decision of whether to recast his King T’Challa role in Ryan Coogler’s upcoming Black Panther sequel, Wakanda Forever, a role Boseman also had previously played in Captain America: Civil War and the Avengers films. In an interview with Empire Magazine , Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige talks about the decision to not recast the role, and instead find a way to honor Boseman along with a different approach in the sequel. “It just felt like it was much too soon to recast,” he told the magazine. “Stan Lee always said that Marvel represents the world outside your window. And we had talked about how, as extraordinary and fantastical as our characters and stories are, there’s a relatable and human element to everything we do. The world is still processing the loss of Chad. And Ryan poured that into the story.” Once that decision was made, Feige said “The conversations … [Read more...] about Kevin Feige Reveals Why Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa Was Not Recast In ‘Wakanda Forever’: “It Was Much Too Soon”

HOW EXACTLY TO Win With Blackjack – Mastering The Art Of COPING WITH Colourful Cards
Blackjack is probably the most popular casino gaming card game in the whole planet. The game is often played by players with decks of 52 cards and, despite recent efforts targeted at making the game more accessible to a wider range of players, is actually an American creation of an internationally family of blackjack cards called Twenty-One. The family also includes the British version of blackjack, Pontoon, and the much-ballyhooed European version, Vingt-et-Un. You can find literally countless variations of the basic game. One can even elect to play online blackjack on one of the numerous available sites for the game.
Blackjack is really a game of chance. No skill is needed to play the game; instead, players rely on their very own knowledge of statistics, card counting, and playing style. The randomness of blackjack implies that there is a certain chance that every player will pass a hand or make a decision, but it is not impossible. This means that lots of the strategies used by blackjack enthusiasts are actually predicated on mathematics and probability, a thing that most casinos would find too complicated and inappropriate for his or her customers to comprehend.
A basic strategy in blackjack one considers will be the counting cards, which is simply the process of gauging the odds of drawing a specific card. Cards dealt in this game are numbered with theces, tens, and nines, and the player can count these cards from left to right, starting from ace to king. Counting cards is considered a highly efficient strategy since it increases the number of possible combinations, which in turn gives the blackjack player an advantage over the dealer. However, the disadvantage of counting cards is that it requires time, which alone is time that may be lost in some other game.
Another basic strategy that lots of players adopt is the setup bet, also called the blind bet. With this particular bet, the ball player bets money that’s not visible to the dealer, which he must then put towards a concealed “blind” account where the money will be put prior to the deal. This bet is considered risky because it is unknown what the dealer’s strategy will be. However, many experts have said that this type of bet is normally unnecessary because the chances of the blackjack table winning are so close, and players usually loose more if they bet the blind money than if they bet the money within an open hand.
Another common method of betting in blackjack involves the aces count, where players bet money that isn’t seen by the dealer. This is often a risky proposition, because sometimes it can be hard to tell whether a player has an ace in his hand, especially if that player is bluffing. Nevertheless, players can usually tell once the dealer has an 골드 카지노 aces count because the dealer will always raise the bet of the ball player who comes with an Ace and bets more when that player bets low. Therefore, it usually is wise to make it a point to know if the dealer is bluffing or not before betting.
Counting games in blackjack tend to be misunderstood, especially by beginners. Many believe counting cards is really a losing proposition, but it isn’t. The only time that counting systems are completely worthless is if you are playing blackjack with several friends who have no knowledge of how the numbers up for grabs are determined. In team play, it really is imperative for every player to count cards so that each player can have an accurate idea of what the next card numbers will undoubtedly be. Therefore, counting systems aren’t a bad idea for team play, as long as they are used in moderation.
However, there are times when a card counting system is completely necessary. For example, if the dealer is holding a card that your group does not know very well or has just popped out of your deck, it is imperative that you know exactly how much each player has committed to the pot. If you do not keep track of just how much you have spent, then you might easily double your money and get out without winning anything. In this case, it would probably be easier to stick with a simple strategy, such as keeping a precise running count. Then, when the situation calls for it, it is possible to switch over to utilizing a card counting system.
When it comes to blackjack strategy, it is very important remember that your goal would be to have the best win-rate possible. No matter how unlikely it may seem, there are times when certain cards are simply dealt in a particular sequence. If you do not keep count of just how many decks you have been dealt, or where in fact the hands have been placed, it is more likely that you’ll either miss a good opportunity or miss on to be able to win. If you are seriously interested in rendering it big in this game, you should always remember to keep an eye on the decks you have been dealt and the positions of the cards in those decks. This can allow you to quickly figure out whether or not you are in virtually any favourable situations.

The wild bushfires that spread rapidly across Australia caused extensive damage to the country and was claimed to be one of the largest natural disasters in history. Although most of Australia was affected, the popular tourist destination, the south east coast of New South Wales was the most affected area where more than 2000 homes, farms, resources and even local businesses were destroyed.
As an initiation to help Australia overcome this crisis, Facebook has decided to make best use of their platform to help the affected businesses get their operations back on track. In order to put this in place a set of new support measures have been announced by Facebook.
According to Facebook: “Australia is going through a difficult time. Unprecedented bushfire events have taken a huge toll on communities across the country. If your small business has been affected by bushfires please [get in touch] and a Facebook Small Business Support Specialist will reach out to understand your business challenges and offer guidance and assistance.”
Ranging from one-to-one business specialist consultations to general Facebook business page coaching & advising, and even $200 in Facebook ad credits, are just few of the measures in which Facebook is offering their help to the small businesses, for free of charge.
In addition to this, a series of workshops will be run by Facebook in the towns affected by the bushfire in order to support “empower local businesses and communities with the digital skills required to thrive online.” These workshops will be conducted by a member of the Facebook Community Trainer Network, covering everything from the basics of managing your online presence to using ad targeting tools. Facebook will also include a specific segment for tourism business in order to bring in more visitors to the areas affected by the bushfires.
Facebook providing their assistance and making an effort to be physically present in the community should be largely appreciated, spoken of, taken as an example and followed.
