Shoulder pads and Mark McGwire aren't the only late '80s and early '90s vestiges making a comeback. Six of the era's signature bands play here in November, giving fans who missed them in their prime another chance and those who did see them an opportunity to relive the glory days. The only major differences? The musicians' ages and the cost of admission. Let the flashbacks begin.
Why now: With serious personal issues and addictions behind them, brothers and Meat Puppets mainstays Cris and Curt Kirkwood are finally focusing on the music.
Sound: A tangle of desert country, psychedelic folk and acid-fried indie rock.
Claim to Fame: Guested on Nirvana's "MTV Unplugged" session, which introduced the band to a wider audience when Kurt Cobain and Co. covered three of its songs.
Wear: The rumpled button-down shirt at the bottom of your laundry basket.
Go: 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Schubas, 3159 N. Southport Ave. $16-$18 (21+); 773-525-2508 or schubas.com
Why now: Witty satirists and new wave pioneers devoting one night to the classic, newly reissued "Freedom of Choice."
Sound: Jumpy synth-pop rife with satirical commentary, mechanical tension and geeky vocals.
Claim to Fame: Turned "Whip It" into a novelty hit and pop culture catchphrase.
Wear: A yellow rain slicker and an inverted red flower pot.
Go: 8 p.m. Friday, Vic Theatre, 3145 N. Sheffield Ave. $43-$100 (18+); 800-745-3000 or ticketmaster.com
Why now: Virtually ignored during their heyday, the Pixies are back for another nostalgia-based tour that celebrates the 20th anniversary of 1989's groundbreaking "Doolittle," which the quartet will perform in its entirety.
Sound: A tuneful mash of distorted post-punk, bubble-gum pop, catchy surf and giddy country.
Claim to Fame: The most influential of the great, left-of-the-dial college-rock artists.
Wear: A Breeders shirt, for a touch of irony.
Go: 7:30 p.m., Thursday through Nov. 21. Aragon Ballroom, 1106 W. Lawrence Ave. $44.75; 800-745-3000 or ticketmaster.com
Why now: Recently reunited Irish collective playing the hits that dominated radio just as alternative rock began to fade.
Sound: Earnest albeit calculated rock laden with social messages and Celtic accents, courtesy of singer Dolores O'Riordan.
Claim to Fame: A multiplatinum 1993 debut and blockbuster follow-up released at a time when people bought CDs by the dozens.
Wear: A pea coat.
Go: 7:30 p.m. Nov. 25, Riviera Theatre, 4750 N. Broadway. $34; 800-745-3000 or ticketmaster.com
The Jesus Lizard
Why now: The most unhinged, energetic noise-rock band ever to grace a concert stage comes home for a two-evening stand that may signify its farewell.
Sound: Concussive racket shot through with visceral intensity, tortured vocal babble and metallic riffs.
Claim to Fame: A rhythm section that tightens like a vice grip and freakish live antics that often find manic front man David Yow spending more time crowd surfing than working the stage.
Wear: Protective eyewear in case Yow kicks while surfing.
Go: 9 p.m. Nov. 27 and Nov. 28. Metro, 3730 N. Clark St. $25 (18+); 773-549-0203 or metrochicago.com
Why now: Electronic dance mavericks resurfacing after a prolonged period of recording inactivity that stretches back to the Clinton presidency.
Sound: Beat-dominant collages that split the difference among throbbing techno, anthemic pop and stylish industrial.
Claim to Fame: Championed by Depeche Mode.
Wear: Dancing shoes.
Go: 9 p.m. Nov. 28, Double Door, 1572 N. Milwaukee Ave. $25 (21+); 800-745-3000 or ticketmaster.com

A taxonomic review of the genus Astrodia (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea: Asteronychidae)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 November 2013
The genus Astrodia (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea: Asteronychidae) was revised based on 34 specimens including two syntypes of Asteronyx excavata, two syntypes of Asteronyx plana and two syntypes of Ophiocreas abyssicola. We proposed a transfer of Ophiocreas abyssicola (Euryalidae) to the genus Astrodia. Consequently, Astrodia now includes four species, Astrodia abyssicola, A. excavata, A. plana and A. tenuispina. These four species are all redescribed. A taxonomic key to the species of the genus Astrodia is also provided.

Martin Lewis responds to those ‘attacking him’ over £200 energy payments
Martin Lewis has hit back at people ‘attacking him’ online for his comments about the Government’s new £200 energy scheme.
The personal finance guru has refused to call the payment ‘a loan’ and has instead likened it to a levy placed on energy bills.
Rishi Sunak announced every household in the country would receive the £200 discount in October as a way of mitigating the worst of the coming £700 hike in the price cap.
But people will have to pay it back in £40 instalments added to their bills over for the next five years.
Mr Lewis tweeted: ‘To those attacking me for saying the new £200 scheme isn’t a loan even asking “where do u get your info from?”
‘It’s what I do for my job. I say its not a loan, as it’s not a loan. It’s not a political statement, I’m explaining the practicals.’
He then shared a video of himself discussing how the scheme works, stressing that there’s no connection between receiving the £200 this year and having to pay it back.
Young people who leave home in the next two years will still face paying an extra £40 on their bills even though they haven’t benefitted from the discount.
Similarly if people receive the £200 discount and then cease to be a billpayer for whatever reason, they won’t be chased for the money.

You may recall many instances when your plate had only leftover peas in it, which you never wanted to eat! Peas have always remained the powerhouse of nutrients, but due to some reasons, kids don’t like to eat these green colored veggie packed in a shell. As kids, we tend to avoid eating many healthy foods, but as adults, we keep on looking for new choices to be added to our health regime. Green peas are one amongst the most popular health foods due to their nutritional value, easy availability, and versatile nature. Peas can be added to just any dish without altering the entire flavor of the dish, but still enhancing the overall appeal. If the taste, texture, and versatile nature of these spherical seeds are not attracting you much, then here are few more health reasons to have them.
1 Keep you younger
Age is just a number, and you will agree with this if you are regular pea eater. Peas keep you young and active. It contains vitamin C and vitamin E required for youthful glow on your skin. The anti-oxidant rich peas have anti-inflammatory properties induced by phytonutrients like pisomosides and pisumsaponins. Inflammation leads to problems like cancer, heart disease, aging, and diabetes. Peas keep inflammation away and hence curb aging as well.
2 Say no to constipation
Suffering from constipation? Green peas will help. The fiber content in peas is very high and good for bowel health. Due to good fiber content, peas also make the process of digestion faster.
3 Prevent stomach cancer
These small seeds can prevent problem as big as stomach cancer too. Coumestrol present in peas is protective polyphenol known for cancer prevention. Add peas to your meal as a side dish to make it health packed.
4 Improve vision
Green peas contain vitamin A, carotenes, lutein, and zeaxanthin that are known for improving eye-sight. The mucous membranes and eye health are maintained because of these flavonoids. Green peas can be added to salads, soups, and snacks in raw, semi-cooked, or cooked form to add extra health to these dishes.
5 Perfect immunity booster
Strong immunity means better protection against internal and external factors affecting your health. Minerals like calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, copper, etc. present in green peas are great immunity boosters. At the same time, green peas are rich in vitamin C that is natural immunity booster too. Green peas can be added to kids’ meal for better immunity levels.
6 Effective weight management
Weight management has become the key concern across the world. Most of the legumes and beans contain as much protein and nutrients as we find in green peas, but green peas contain fewer calories compared to the other health foods. Weight watchers benefit by including green peas in their diet compared to other protein-rich food options due to the low-calorie content. This is a perfect food for weight watchers.
7 Arthritis and osteoporosis
Arthritis and osteoporosis result from calcium deficiency and aging. Bones undergo wear and tear due to aging, inflammation, and lack of nutrition. Anti-oxidants and phytonutrients in green peas may check aging and inflammation. Vitamins, minerals, and calcium-rich green peas would also keep bones and joints healthy. Regular green peas consumption can make your bones healthy. Check Turmeric Curcumin Shop to know more.
8 Alzheimer’s disease
Apart from maintaining your bone health, green peas would also control the neurological damage. Vitamin K is found in sufficient quantity in garden peas. More vitamin K in your diet would limit the damage to brain cells and prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Increasing the green peas consumption may also serve as damage control measure for patients in the initial stage of Alzheimer’s disease.
9 Folates for pregnancy
Folic acid is required in good quantity during pregnancy for healthy growth of the fetus. Folic acid ensures your fetus adequate brain health. Green peas have folates that are essential for DNA synthesis. Expectant mothers can get folic acid naturally by consuming a good quantity of green peas during their pregnancy period.
10 Good source of protein
Pea protein is a natural protein that aids cell regeneration. People indulged in active lifestyle or workout routine may require an adequate amount of protein to prevent muscle damage. Pea protein is easy to digest and can be absorbed well for instant results.
Green peas are available all over the world. They are easy to preserve. Frozen peas are also healthy and can be used in all seasons. They are cheap and loaded with health properties too. Those looking for affordable but healthy food can resort to green peas. All you have to do is remove the shell and freeze the pea seeds plastic bag. Make sure you grab your stock of green peas in season and freeze them for future use to have convenient meal option ready to be cooked and plated at all times.

Barkevious Mingo: 5 Things You Need to Know About the LSU Linebacker
It is hard to imagine a player in the 2013 NFL draft that represents as much upside as Barkevious Mingo. He has the pass-rush moves, athleticism and mentality to be a dominating 3-4 outside linebacker in the NFL.
That being said, Mingo's production at Louisiana State didn't seem to mesh too well with his otherworldly athletic ability. This should sound alarm bells for teams looking for immediate production from a player many expect to go in the initial half of the first round.
Time to take a look at Mingo as he prepares to fulfill his ultimate goal and become an NFL player.
Full Name: Barkevious "KeKe" Levon Mingo (October 4, 1990)
Hometown: Belle Glade, Fla.
High School: West Monroe High School in West Monroe, La.
Major: Sports Administration
To say that Barkevious Mingo didn't grow up under the greatest circumstances would be an understatement. His hometown of Belle Glade, Fla. has a long history of crime and disease. According to the U.S. Census, 38 percent of its citizens live under the poverty line, compared to 14 percent for the state of Florida as a whole. Its median per-capita income is a ridiculously low $14,442.
For a time during the mid 1980s, Belle Glade had the highest per-capita HIV infection rate in the United States (via Princeton.edu). Its crime rate still sits among the highest in the state of Florida.
Needless to say, Mingo has done mighty fine for himself making it out of that situation and being on the verge of becoming an NFL player.
Mingo attended West Monroe High School in Louisiana, earning All-State honors as a junior and senior. Ultimately he helped lead the school to the state championship his final season.
He was ranked 155th nationally and eighth among rush linebackers by Rivals coming out of high school. He was offered scholarships from Alabama, Michigan, Oklahoma and Texas A&M before choosing LSU.
2010 (Freshman): 13 games, 35 tackles, 18 solo, 5.5 for loss, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.
2011 (Sophomore): 14 games, 46 tackles, 21 solo, 15 for loss, seven sacks and 11 quarterback hurries.
2012 (Junior): 13 games, 38 tackles, 21 solo, 8.5 for loss, 4.5 sacks and 12 quarterback hurries.
With just 4.5 sacks and 12 quarterback hurries as a junior in 2012, Mingo seemed to take a step back in terms of production. Again, if you look at sole production this has to be a bit worrisome.
He finished just eighth in tackles, fourth in tackles for loss and third in sacks on LSU's football team this past season.
Considering that the Tigers had five players along that unit that are expected to go in the first couple days of the draft, Mingo just didn't stand out a great deal.
Again, statistics mean little in the grand scheme of things.
All Statistics provided by CFB Stats
Weight: 241 pounds
Arm Length: 33 3/4"
Hand Size: 9 5/8"
Broad Jump: 128.0"
40-Yard Dash: 4.58
20-Yard Shuttle: 4.39
Three-Cone Drill: 6.84
Vertical Jump: 37.0"
Barkevious Mingo finished second among defensive linemen in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, though it is important to note that only seven from that position participated in the drill.
His 37" vertical jump did rank sixth among front-seven players at the combine, while his broad jump ranked in the top five. This shouldn't be too surprising considering that athleticism is considered one of Mingo's biggest strengths.
All numbers provided by NFL.com
Barkevious Mingo and teammate Sam Montgomery have a wager on who goes first in the upcoming draft. They put $5,000 on the line, a bet that Mingo seems destined to win at this point.
It seems the talented young pass-rusher agrees, telling Kareem Copeland of NFL.com: "I'm pretty confident in myself," Mingo said. "He's going to be coming out of some money on that one. And I get a car wash."
Oh, did I fail to mention that part of the bet has the losing guy washing his friend's car? Yes, how times have changed for NFL draft prospects throughout the years.
Not only did Mingo and Montgomery bet on the draft, they also put wagers down on performances on the field at Louisiana State (via Copeland):
Mingo claimed he's already owed a car wash from a previous bet. Montgomery said he won a $1,000 bet for most sacks during the season and $500 for most sacks in the final game.
I am so glad they didn't walk the tightrope between fun banter and breaking NCAA rules. As it is, the money mentioned in this slide will become small potatoes to both players within the next couple months.
Does Barkevious Mingo's production seem to match up with the performances that we have seen on tape? That is the major question around the scouting community.
Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com answered this question in comparison to Jarvis Jones, another highly ranked pass-rusher:
I'm anxious to see where Jarvis Jones and Barkevious Mingo get picked. Jones far superior on tape, Mingo far superior in shorts.
Personally, I like Matt Miller's take on Mingo a bit better.
Barkevious Mingo is Bruce Irvin to me—for better or worse. That's what you're likely to get.
This is where you have to ask yourself whether or not you are high on Irvin moving forward. If so, does this mean that Mingo is worth a top-10 pick?

Portland Oregon Micro Brew scene
i read in the NY TIMES that Portland ore is a micro brewery and micro brew mecca. what are the best micro breweries and micro brews there??
Rogue and Deschutes, hands down.
Of course, neither is actually located in Portland, but I know that Rogue has a pub there.
McMenamins is popular, but I think their beer is just OK. It's better than macrobrew, but that's about all I can say for it.
Don't overlook Hair of the Dog. They make some amazing beers and they are located in Portland.
I think its the brewpubs in and around Portland that makes this place beervana. I really enjoyed all of them that I visited recently on my honeymoon. I drank mostly IPA's, double IPA's, and stouts/porters at these locations - and most of them were really good:
Rogue (beers made offsite)
Walking Man (just on the other side of the Columbia in WA)
Pelican Pub near the coast
Too many to visit in one trip, so we will be going back to explore the rest of the state.
If you ever go, be sure to pick up the Brewha! brochure which lists all the brewpubs (except McMennimans) in the state.
Here is a map of Portland:
Add New Old Lampoc to that list. Laurelwood is still my favorite. Closely followed by roots. the NYT is right about Portland being beer heaven. More breweries per capita, more strip clubs per capita and more churches (though you wouldn't know it) per capita than other US cities. Go figure.
Who makes the orange wheat beer? I want to say it was Rogue or Deschutes, but in any case if you see it on a list try it! Perfect for summer, linght and zingy but still with a nice amount of hoppiness.
Mcmenamins, an oregon brewpub chain, has inconsistent results---on purpose: each brewpub has a different brewer and recipe. But if you hit any location when their Hammerhead ale is freshly tapped you won't find a better beer anywhere. That being said, Bridgeport IPA is incredible. Probably the best of Portland IMO. Laurelwood is noteworthy too.

KARACHI: After a five-week break and dramatic political developments, the City District Government Karachi (CDGK) returned to the administrative fold on Sunday after a notification was issued, making it legal via the Sindh Local Government Ordinance 2011.
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) had bitterly wrangled over the commissionerate versus the local government systems. In swift developments on Saturday, Governor Ishratul Ebad Khan issued two ordinances, resulting in the revival of the 2001 local government system in Karachi and Hyderabad as well as the restoration of the previous delimitation of both districts. Thus, even though it was a public holiday, the municipal, works and services, health and enterprises and investment promotions department went back to work on Sunday and the town municipal administrations rolled up their sleeves for the monsoon rain preparation.
Soon after the announcement was made Saturday midnight that the local government system was making a comeback, CDGK officials and employees cheered and congratulated each other on the phone and via text message. The majority of SMSs carried prayers for the chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Altaf Hussain.
Not everyone was happy, however, with the changes. The Awami National Party, which has a small share in the Sindh Assembly, said it was not consulted on these changes which were made due to political expediencies. There were protests by some PPP workers in Hyderabad against the return of their district to the SLGO. A nationalist party announced a strike for Monday.
Meanwhile, now-former Commissioner of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation, Altaf G Memon, who was the executive district officer (EDO) of the works and services department, told The Express Tribune that his position as the commissioner now stands null and void and he is back to his previous position.
The same goes for the Commissioner of Karachi, Muhammad Hussein Syed, who goes back to being the DCO. City Administrator Fazlur Rehman is also expected to resume office.

All dog owners are aware that dogs are fond of displaying some unusual behaviors such as licking their feet, licking other dogs’ ears, and even licking their owners’ ears. It is agreed that all dogs can be a little weird, and there is little to nothing anyone can do about it. Dog owners may be confused regarding these behaviors; however, it is usually a way dogs communicate.
Dogs lick their owners’ ears for various reasons, including respect and submission, for grooming, to display love, for comfort and security, to enjoy the taste of ear wax, infections, longing for attention, accepting you as part of their pack, love for your personal care products, and boredom.
Advice for all aspiring pet owners; learn all you can about the pet you want to have before purchasing it. Only then can you know why your dog displays some weird and strange behaviors, and you will not panic.
Why Does My Dog Lick My Ears?
When dogs want to communicate with their owners, they can use different body language, including their tongues. Although, this technique could sometimes make owners uncomfortable. However, these behaviors all started when dogs used to live as pack members in the wild.
They often lick each other’s ears for grooming and to show submission. Some of the reasons ancient dogs licked their ears in the wild are why they still lick their owners’ ears. It is a harmless behavior that expresses a dog’s love and submission and grooms its owner. We will be explaining more detailed reasons why your dog licks your ear below.
For Submission And Respect
Dogs are pack animals, and they often consider their owners a member of their pack – the alpha. Back when they lived in the wild, lower pack members often licked the higher pack members to show respect and submission. Domesticated dogs still display this behavior.
So, since you are seen as the pack’s alpha, your dog will lick your ears to show that it respects and values you. This is the likely reason if you also notice other submission behaviors, such as your dog exposing its belly, flattening its ear, and wagging its tail low. As long as the dog considers any part of the family a member of its pack, it will lick their ears.
For Comfort And Security
Another reason your dog licks your ears is to communicate that it feels comfortable and safe being around you. Dogs are only loose and free when they are with someone they trust. This is more likely when you are seated, and your dog comes to lick your ears while having a soft face and staying relaxed.
So, if you ever notice this, understand it is a sign of comfort. What you can do to make the dog even feel more comfortable is for you to act very calmly and not chase or scold the dog. If you scold the dog, it may feel like it is not welcomed and heartbroken, making the dog begin to get nervous around you.
It Likes The Taste Of Your Ear
If you are very familiar with dogs, you would agree they like the taste of odd things like earwax. Do not be surprised to find out that the taste of ear wax is another reason dogs lick ears. Earwax is known to be bitter, oily, and salty, and one can only imagine why dogs like the taste. It sounds gross; however, that is just dogs for you. They enjoy the taste of ear wax.
This is a common reason why dogs lick each other’s ears. Since a dog cannot groom some parts of its body like the ear, it tends to rely on its other dog’s friend to help it out. So, this same instinct kicks in when they are with their owners. A dog licking your ear could be a way of the dog thinking it is helping you clean your ears.
A Sign Of Love
Another reason dogs lick their owner’s ear is to express their love and affection. Perhaps you just returned home after a long while; your dog could rush to you, wagging its tail and licking your feet. The moment you squat or bend to pat the dog and maintain eye level with it, it could begin to lick your ears.
This is more likely when your dog shows a delighted face while licking your ears. So, if you have been experiencing this, you need to understand that it is just a way of the dog expressing its love, and you should ensure you always reciprocate the love and affection. This proves to the dog that the feelings and love are mutual.

An Attention Seeking Behavior
If your dog notices that licking your ears makes you happy and always gets your attention to play with it, it would likely do that more whenever it needs your attention. Perhaps your dog has been feeling bored and wants to play; it will probably come to lick your ears.
Giving your dog the attention it seeks is a way of reinforcing the behavior. However, if you are not cool with this attention-seeking behavior, do not reinforce it. Instead, what you could do is to stay calm. Afterward, you could get up and direct the dogs’ attention elsewhere.
What Does It Mean When A Dog Licks Your Ear?
As a dog owner, you should know that not all dog behavior has reasons; sometimes, your dog enjoys messing around with you. So, the fact that there are etiological reasons why dogs lick their owners’ ears; there are times when the dog wants to lick your ears.
When your dog licks your ears, it could mean that the dog is expressing its love for you; this is the dog showing you that it appreciates you for everything you have done to it. It could also mean that your dog is trying to understand what is around it, especially common with puppies.
Also, a dog licking another dog’s or human’s ears could mean that the subject has an ear infection. Dogs can sniff out various things; when there is an ear infection, the scent of the earwax is stronger, and dogs are attracted to it.
Why Does My Dog Lick My Other Dog’s Ears?
The reasons why dogs lick each other’s ears are similar to those we explained above. Monitoring and observing your dog well could help you determine the exact reason from those we already explained. However, the most common reason dogs lick each other’s ear is for grooming purposes.
Grooming is a way of helping dogs stay healthy. So, when dogs need to groom their ears, they often rely on licking each other’s ears for grooming. Another reason could also be because they enjoy the taste of ear wax. Just as explained earlier, dogs enjoy the taste of ear wax and could continue to lick each other’s ears to taste their ear wax.
However, it is always advised that you monitor your dog well, as excessive licking of the ear could indicate an ear infection. So, once you notice any excessive licking, ensure you examine your dog’s ear for symptoms such as discharge or redness. If you notice any, ensure you take your dog to a vet urgently to avoid further complications.
It is important that you do not scold a dog whenever it licks your ears. We have already explained the common reasons why it often happens. If it becomes excessive, you should take the dog to a veterinarian for a medical checkup and possible treatment. However, if you are not cool with the behavior, ensure you do not reinforce the behavior.

What is an online casino bonus and how does it relate to VIP programs?
An online casino bonus is a monetary reward given to players by online casinos. This reward can come in the form of a welcome bonus, deposit bonus, referral bonus, loyalty bonus, or other types of incentives. The purpose of these bonuses is to encourage players to make deposits and play more often. Online casino bonuses are closely related to VIP programs, which reward players with exclusive benefits, such as free spins, higher deposit limits, and access to exclusive tournaments.
A welcome bonus is typically offered to new players who sign up to an online casino. This bonus is designed to encourage new players to make their first deposit and get them started playing. Typically, the welcome bonus will match the player’s first deposit up to a certain percentage, for example, a 100% match up to $50. This means that if a player deposits $50, they will get an additional $50, giving them a total of $100 in their account.
Deposit bonuses are offered to existing players who make additional deposits. These bonuses are typically smaller than a welcome bonus and may match a player’s deposit up to 50% or less. For example, if a player deposits $50, they may receive a bonus of $25. Deposit bonuses are a great way for online casinos to reward existing players for their loyalty.
Referral bonuses are also offered by online casinos. These bonuses are given to players when they refer a friend to the casino. The bonus is typically a percentage of the friend’s first deposit, for example, a 25% match up to $50. This bonus is a great way for players to earn extra rewards for recommending their friends to the casino.
Loyalty bonuses are offered to players who have been playing at the same casino for a long period of time. These bonuses are typically larger than a welcome bonus and may match a player’s deposit up to 100% or more. For example, if a player deposits $100, they may receive a bonus of $100, giving them a total of $200 in their account. Loyalty bonuses are a great way for online casinos to reward players for their loyalty and commitment to the casino.
VIP programs are a great way for online casinos to reward their most loyal players. These programs usually offer exclusive benefits such as higher deposit limits, free spins, access to exclusive tournaments, and exclusive promotions. Typically, these programs are tiered, with the higher tiers offering better rewards. For example, a VIP program may start at the Bronze tier, offering players a 25% match up to $100, then progress to the Silver tier, offering a 50% match up to $500, and finally to the Gold tier, offering a 100% match up to $1,000.
In conclusion, online casino bonuses are a great way for online casinos to reward players for their loyalty and commitment to the casino. These bonuses are closely related to VIP programs, which offer exclusive benefits such as higher deposit limits, free spins, and access to exclusive tournaments. By offering these bonuses, online casinos can attract more players and reward their most loyal customers.
How do online casino bonuses benefit VIP players?
Online casino bonuses offer amazing benefits to VIP players, providing them with exclusive rewards, bonuses, and access to the best games. VIP programs exist in many online casinos and they are designed to reward frequent and dedicated players. By joining a casino’s VIP program, players can expect to experience a range of exclusive benefits designed to make their gaming experience even more enjoyable.
One of the main benefits of VIP programs and online casino bonuses is that they provide players with exclusive rewards. VIP players typically receive better loyalty bonuses and may even receive special bonuses and promotions that are not available to regular players. For example, a VIP player might receive a free $100 bonus on their birthday, or a free ticket to a special event. Online casinos also often offer VIP players exclusive access to tournaments with bigger prize pools, or access to special games with higher payouts.
Another great benefit of online casino bonuses for VIP players is that they are often tailored to the player’s individual preferences. VIP players typically receive tailored bonuses and rewards that are tailored to the type of games they play. For example, if a VIP player plays slots more often than other games, they might receive free spins on certain slot games. If they are more of a card game player, they might receive a special bonus that is only available when they play certain card games. This helps ensure that the bonuses and rewards VIP players receive are tailored to their gaming preferences.
VIP players also benefit from better customer service and support. Online casinos often provide their VIP players with priority customer service, meaning their queries and concerns will be addressed more quickly than regular players. VIP players may also receive special VIP treatment from the casino, such as invitations to exclusive events, or access to VIP-only areas.
Finally, VIP players often receive access to special promotions, such as cashback bonuses or exclusive promotions on certain games. These promotions can provide VIP players with extra opportunities to win and can also increase their bankrolls.
Overall, online casino bonuses offer VIP players numerous exclusive benefits that make their gaming experience even more enjoyable. By joining a casino’s VIP program, players can expect to receive exclusive rewards, bonuses, and access to exclusive events and promotions. VIP players can also benefit from better customer service and support, and access to exclusive promotions. All of these benefits combine to make VIP programs a great way to get the most out of their online gaming experience.
What types of online casino bonuses are offered for VIP players?
Online casino bonuses are an important part of VIP programs, as they provide incentives for players to remain loyal to the same casino. VIP players in particular can benefit from a variety of bonuses, such as cashback, deposit bonuses, and even exclusive promotions. For example, a cashback bonus can give players a portion of their losses back as a reward for their loyalty. Deposit bonuses are often given as a percentage of a player’s deposit, with higher percentages being offered to VIP players. Other bonuses may include free spins, free tickets to tournaments, or access to exclusive promotions.
VIP players may also benefit from higher withdrawal and deposit limits. For example, a casino may allow VIP players to deposit $10,000 in one transaction, instead of the usual $1,000. This can be advantageous to players who enjoy high stakes games, as it allows them to remain in the action for longer. Similarly, VIP players may be able to withdraw larger amounts of winnings at once, which can be more convenient than multiple smaller withdrawals.
Some casinos also offer unique VIP bonuses, such as access to special events and tournaments. These tournaments can offer larger payouts than regular tournaments, so they can be attractive to experienced players. Some casinos may also offer exclusive discounts, such as reduced entry fees for tournaments or special merchandise. Additionally, VIP players may also receive invitations to events that are not open to the public.
Finally, VIP players may benefit from loyalty points, which can be used to purchase items from the casino’s store or to be exchanged for cash. These points can be earned by playing games at the casino, and the number of points awarded may increase with higher VIP status. This system can be particularly beneficial for players who already frequent the casino, as the points can be earned even if they don’t win.
Overall, online casino bonuses can be incredibly beneficial for VIP players, as they provide incentives to stay loyal to the same casino. By offering bonuses such as cashback, deposit bonuses, and exclusive promotions, as well as higher withdrawal and deposit limits, casinos can attract and retain VIP players. Additionally, loyalty points can reward players even if they don’t win, which can make the VIP program more attractive.
What challenges do online casino bonuses pose for VIP programs?
The challenges posed by online casino bonuses to VIP programs are numerous and complex. Bonuses can be incredibly tempting for players, providing them with the opportunity to win extra money and enhance their experience. However, for VIP programs, bonuses can present a variety of problems.
For starters, VIP programs rely on customer loyalty. By offering customers bonuses, the casino could be encouraging them to move away from the VIP program and instead focus on the bonuses. Online casinos can also be particularly generous with bonuses, creating a situation where players have access to multiple bonuses and have little reason to remain loyal to one particular VIP program.
Furthermore, bonuses can create a situation where VIP programs are no longer as attractive to customers. For example, an online casino may offer a bonus worth $100 that can be used to play certain games. This bonus may be more appealing to customers than the rewards of a VIP program, as it allows them to play with free money.
Additionally, bonuses can limit the amount of money VIP programs can offer. As the casino is giving away bonus money, it has less money to invest in its VIP program. This can make the VIP program less attractive to customers, as the rewards may not be as generous as those offered by the bonus.
Furthermore, bonuses can also limit the amount of money VIP programs can generate. As bonuses are given away, the amount of money the casino earns from these customers decreases. This, in turn, reduces the amount of money the casino can generate from VIP programs.
Finally, bonuses can lead to customer dissatisfaction with VIP programs. If a customer feels that the bonus offered by the casino is better than that of the VIP program, they may be more likely to leave the VIP program and focus on the bonus. This can lead to a reduction in customer loyalty, as customers may view the bonus as a better value.
Overall, the challenges posed by online casino bonuses to VIP programs are numerous and complex. Bonuses can be incredibly attractive to customers, but can also reduce the effectiveness of the VIP program, limit the amount of money it can generate, and lead to customer dissatisfaction. As such, it is important for casinos to be aware of the impact of bonuses on their VIP programs and take steps to ensure that the rewards of the program are still attractive to customers.
What strategies can VIP programs use to mitigate the challenges of online casino bonuses?
The challenges of online casino bonuses are becoming increasingly difficult for VIP programs to manage. As these bonuses become more generous, VIP programs have to find ways to balance out the risk of giving away too much, while still providing an appealing incentive to customers. Here are some strategies that VIP programs can use to mitigate the risks of online casino bonuses.
One strategy is to focus on loyalty-based bonuses. This means focusing on bonuses that reward customers for their loyalty to the casino. This can be done through VIP programs that offer bigger and better rewards the more they play. For example, one of the most common loyalty bonuses is cash back, which gives customers a percentage of their losses back as a reward for playing at the casino. This rewards players for sticking with the casino, instead of just offering one-off bonuses.
Another strategy is to offer bonuses that are specifically tailored to VIP customers. This means offering bonuses that are unique to the VIP program and are more generous than those offered to other players. For example, some casinos offer VIP customers exclusive bonuses such as free spins, free entries into tournaments, and higher deposit match bonuses. This helps to keep VIP customers feeling special and encourages them to remain loyal to the casino.
A third strategy is to limit the amount of bonus money that can be claimed by VIP customers. This helps to ensure that the casino isn’t giving away too much money in bonuses. For example, some casinos limit the amount of bonus money that VIP customers can claim to $100, while other casinos allow up to $500 in bonus money. This helps the casino to stay within its budget while still offering attractive bonuses to VIP customers.
Finally, VIP programs can use referrals as a way to mitigate the risks of online casino bonuses. Referral bonuses are a great way to get new customers to sign up and start playing at the casino. By offering referral bonuses, VIP programs can attract new customers while limiting the amount of bonus money they give away. For example, some casinos offer referral bonuses of up to $50 for each new customer that is referred to the casino.
Overall, the challenges of online casino bonuses can be managed by VIP programs through the use of loyalty-based bonuses, VIP-specific bonuses, bonus limiters, and referrals. By implementing these strategies, VIP programs can continue to offer attractive bonuses to customers without running the risk of giving away too much money.
How do online casinos manage bonus abuse from VIP players?
Online casinos have long managed bonus abuse from VIP players by introducing stringent wagering requirements and review processes to ensure that players are playing fair and within the rules. VIP players, also known as ‘high rollers’, are often given extra bonuses and rewards by casinos, but in order to prevent abuse, casinos must have several procedures in place.
One of the most common ways for casinos to manage bonus abuse is by setting wagering requirements that must be met before the bonus can be withdrawn. These wagering requirements are designed to ensure that players cannot simply take their bonus and leave, and instead must invest a certain amount of their own funds and play a certain number of games. This system is also beneficial for casinos because it encourages players to stay longer and play more.
In addition, casinos may also employ their own internal review process to identify any potential bonus abuse. This review process includes looking at a player’s record to see if they are making consistent deposits and withdrawals, or if they are taking advantage of bonuses without actually playing the games. If any suspicious activity is found, the casino can then take appropriate action such as suspending the player’s account or banning them from the casino altogether.
Finally, online casinos can also use other methods such as limiting the maximum amount of bonus money a player can withdraw, or only allowing the bonus to be used on certain games. These measures can help to protect the casino from high roller players who may be looking to exploit the bonus system.
Overall, online casinos have several ways of managing bonus abuse from VIP players. By setting wagering requirements and conducting internal reviews, casinos can ensure that players are playing fair and within the rules. This helps to create an enjoyable environment for everyone and also ensures that casinos are not losing out on large sums of money due to bonus abuse.
What is the impact of online casino bonuses on the VIP player experience?
The impact of online casino bonuses on the VIP player experience is considerable, providing an array of benefits that help to enhance their overall gaming experience. Online casino bonuses are designed to reward and motivate players, whether it is with bonus funds, free spins, cashback, or other loyalty rewards. The most common bonus offered to VIP players is the deposit bonus, which is usually a percentage of the deposit made. For example, a casino might offer a 50% deposit bonus up to $1000. This means that if a player deposits $2000, they will receive an additional $1000 in bonus funds.
VIP players usually receive more favourable bonus terms than regular players, such as higher deposit or cashout limits, a larger range of bonuses, and access to exclusive VIP promotions. For example, some online casino sites offer weekly bonuses to their VIP players, which may include match deposit bonuses, free spins, or even cashback offers. These bonuses are designed to reward loyal players, and to encourage them to continue playing at the online casino.
Another way online casinos use bonuses to reward their VIP players is through loyalty programs. Most VIP programs have a tiered structure, and as players progress through the tiers they will unlock more rewards. Loyalty points are usually awarded for every wager placed, and can be exchanged for bonus funds or other rewards. In addition, VIP players may receive invitations to exclusive events, or exclusive offers from the casino.
Online casinos also use bonuses to attract new players to their VIP programs. High roller bonuses are designed for players who wish to deposit large amounts of money into their accounts. These bonuses usually come with higher deposit limits and more favourable conditions, such as lower wagering requirements. New players may also be offered exclusive sign up bonuses, which are usually match bonuses that match their first deposit up to a certain amount.
In conclusion, online casino bonuses play an important role in the VIP player experience. From deposit bonuses and cashback offers, to loyalty points and exclusive offers, online casino bonuses help to reward and motivate players, while also providing them with an opportunity to explore the various games and promotions available.

Bhadohi, 16 February: There has been a lot of negligence seen in the making of the disability certificate for Differently Abled people at the District Hospital of the Bhadohi district of the Uttar Pradesh.
An office has been set up at District Hospital Maharajchet Singh to issue disability certificate. A certificate is made here every Tuesday. Doctors come from Sonbhadra to examine the ‘Divyangs’. A large number of Divyang reached on Tuesday but the Divyang were furious when they were called to the second floor of the hospital for the examination as they faced lots of problem in reaching the second floor of the hospital.
Meanwhile, ‘Divyang’ couple Shivamani and Sunita told how we have come to the second floor. We and other Divyangs know this problem but no one listens to them. Given the convenience of ‘Divyangs’, they should be examined on the floor instead of the second floor of the hospital.
However, when the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) was contacted in this matter, he did not receive the call. She was attending the meeting going on at the district headquarters because of which her mobile phone was not received.
In the meantime, District Magistrate (DM) Aryka Akhauri has assured via a video message to get the matter investigated presently.

The Russian Ambassador has complained about prejudiced UK weather reports.
“You get bit of snow and immediately point finger at Russia. Not fair. You have no evidence to support theory of cold air from Siberia.”
But the met office has confirmed that the recent big freeze was correctly identified as the Beast from the East, or Storm Vladimir Putin to give it its proper name.
“The evidence is there,” said a BBC weatherwoman, pointing to the carcass of a yeti washed up on a beach in Norfolk.
Security correspondent Cordon Careers also pointed out that Putin has recently unveiled his new ‘invincible weapon’, a giant nuclear-powered fan located in Siberia and pointing straight at London.
“If he lets one off behind that after a bowl of his grandmother’s goulash, the whiff could reach Boris Johnson’s nasal receptors in a matter of hours,” he warned.
MI6 spent the day playing with James Bond movie titles to link the bad weather with Russian spies.
“Brrr, it’s minus 007 outside,” said one shivering operative, coming in from the cold. “From Russia with Glove,” quipped another. “Don’t forget Coldfinger and For Your Ice Only,” added a third.
“Oi, you lot, get on with your work,” said M.


Invocations will continue to be held at DuPage County Board meetings.
The board voted 11 to 6, in favor of affirming the practice of a prayer at the beginning of each meeting.
Prayer First Questioned
Democrat Dawn DeSart initially brought up the question of including invocations back in December. Many Democrats on the board agreed with her, along with many community members, who spoke up at the latest meeting.
“It makes me feel uncomfortable when we force our neighbors to sit through Christian prayers or any religious invocation,” said Bill, a public commenter from Naperville. “The idea that you solve the problem by simply rotating the religions, prayers, I think that’s better than nothing, but to me that’s people taking turns feeling unwelcome and excluded.”
However, some Republicans and even newly elected Democrat Sadia Covert, argued invocations encourage diversity, by including different religious leaders and giving them a platform to inform the public about their backgrounds.
History of Invocations
Among the 24 invocations given in 2018, only one was delivered by a non-Christian. But this year the diversity of the prayer has already increased, with a Jewish, two Muslim, and atheist speakers. You can hear more from the atheist speaker in our previous news story.
Invocations have been a part of the board’s agenda since at least 1973.
Naperville News 17’s Christine Lena reports.

As the months go by we are getting more and more clues about upcoming Marvel releases. It was clear that one of the next to reveal images and details about their plot would be ‘Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings’, the adaptation of the exploitation of kung fu fever that Marvel created in the seventies at the hands of Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin.
The twenty-fifth MCU film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, responsible for dramas such as ‘A Matter of Justice’ or ‘The Crystal Castle’, and written by David Callaham, who does have a bit more experience in action cinema in general, and superheroes in particular. His are movies like ‘Doom’, ‘The Expendables’, ‘Wonder Woman 1984’, the recent ‘Mortal Kombat’ and the future sequel to ‘Spider-Man: A New Universe’. A whole roster of oriental interpreters stars: Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Awkwafina and a couple of Hong Kong film historical figures, like Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh.
If there are no new delays, ‘Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings’ It will be released on September 3, and will conform together with ‘Black Widow’ the launch of the Fourth Phase of the MCU. However, after a couple of series on Disney + (‘Wandavision’ and ‘Falcon and the Winter Soldier’) and the Black Widow movie, all clearly still dependent on the previous phases of the marvelita project in the cinema, this is the first production that distances itself from the rest, introducing new characters and a distinctive style.
Little is known about the plot, although this trailer already gives a few clues: current setting, but flashbacks to other Asian times and countries. We know that the plot revolves around the fate of Shang-Chi as the successor to a criminal empire., something that does not convince our protagonist too much. The fact that in the comics a clear origin story was not closed for the hero has allowed the creators of the film to bring in a villain that we had already heard of … in other words: The Mandarin, nemesis (or not ) of what remains one of the MCU’s roundest films, ‘Iron Man 3’.

Surnames and Family Research Forum
Want to link J.B. Chestang to Chastang Clan of Ala
I have hit a brick wall with my gr.gr.G/f J.B.Chestang (b.1840) in Alabama, his was married? to Harriet (Moer?) of Miss. There is lots of information on the Chestang/Chastang's of Alabama tracing them back to Joseph Pierre Chastang and his brother Jean Baptiste "Dr.John"
The earliest I found him was on the 1880 census living in Scranton Ms.
One other clue I have, is that a John B. Chestang served in the Civil War for Union in the 96th Col'd Infantry Unit Company E.
J.B.(I think that stands for John Baptiste) was a Blacksmith? as was one of his sons Emile (b.1881) my Great g/f. who was born in Pascagoula, Ms, and migrated to California in the 1920's.
I went to Miss this summer and checked at St.Peters Catholic Church which was his parish but the church was only build in in 1882,so their records don't go back far enough. There is another Catholic Church in Pascagoula, which I may have some baptismal information on his children and maybe marriage info on he and Harriet.
There are so many dupicate first names with in the Chestang/Chastang clan, that I just don't know how to proceed.
It was from the 1880 census that I found that J.B. was born in Alabama because earlier the information I had from my gr.g/f Emile's death certificate said his father J.B. was born in France.
I would apreciate any help, in finding out who J.B.'s parents were.

The number of homeless people worldwide is estimated to be between 100 million and one billion, depending on how we count them and the definition used. However, little is known about the causes of homelessness or the characteristics of homeless people in developing countries. Most developing countries have poor or non-existent data relating to homelessness. There is an urgent need for governments to undertake adequate censuses of homeless people. Our study highlights huge differences in the percentage of the population which is recognized as homeless in different countries. However, this is likely to be influenced by the ‘service statistics paradox’, in that, those countries with a willingness to acknowledge homelessness, and to establish services for homeless people, are more likely to be able to locate and count them and thus, will have more accurate (and higher) figures.
In order to count homeless people, there must first be a working definition of homelessness, which there is not in most of the countries studies. Governments and NGOs may need assistance to undertake adequate censuses and to define homelessness in order to inform policies on housing, land allocation and support for homeless people. Western definitions and typologies of homelessness are inappropriate for developing countries, therefore new definitions must be developed, However, it should be noted that a single definition of homelessness is unlikely to be appropriate to all developing countries. A study by CARDO in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, set out to explore the nature and extent of homelessness in nine developing countries.
The empirical research was conducted in ten countries (Peru, Bolivia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Egypt, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia and China). In each of these countries a researcher was contracted to undertake research in accordance with a terms of reference. At least one member of the UK team visited each of the countries to gain deeper understanding and support the researcher, with the exception of South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ghana and Indonesia.

IL-31, a Relevant Cytokine for Human (and Canine) Atopic Dermatitis
Bağci IS, Ruzicka T. IL-31: A new key player in dermatology and beyond. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2018, ePub ahead of print. (Link to PubMed).
PubMed ID (PMID): 29366565
Comments: With the usage of drugs that target the IL-31 directly (for example the lokivetmab) or signal transduction by its receptor (e.g. oclacitinib), we would expect residents to be familiar with this pruritogenic cytokine and its receptor. This paper reviews the structure of IL-31 and its receptor, their function and the role of this cytokine in dermatologic and nondermatologic diseases of humans


NASA shared a photo of a pulsar that strangely resembles a massive cosmic hand in space. The brightness of the star that created the pulsar makes it look like the Infinity Gauntlet used in the Marvel comics and movies.
The cosmic structure that featured in NASA's photo is called PSR B1509-58 or B1509 for short. It is a pulsar that's located about 17,000 light-years from Earth. The image of the pulsar was taken using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array.
Forming The Infinity Gauntlet In Space
As explained by NASA, B1509 was formed following the death and explosion of a star. This stellar object, which is about 12 miles in diameter, became a neutron star after it ran out of fuel. This caused the star to collapse under the weight of its own gravity.
Despite its death, the star is still spinning at an incredible rate, which is at around seven times per second. Its movement, combined with its stellar explosion, ejected a cloud of materials into its surroundings, which formed into a strange cosmic structure that resembles the Infinity Gauntlet used by the Marvel character Thanos.
"It rapidly spins around, seven times per second, firing out a particle wind into the material around it -- material that was ejected in the star's explosion," NASA explained in a statement. "These particles are interacting with magnetic fields around the material, causing it to glow with X-rays. The result is a cloud that, in previous images, looked like an open hand."
Effect Of B1509 On Its Surroundings
As seen in the photo, the cosmic gauntlet appears to be reaching out to a neighbouring structure in space. According to NASA, the structure near B1509 is a cloud of gas known as RCW 89. In the photo, the gas cloud can be seen with a bright reddish glow. As noted by the agency, B1509 is responsible for the appearance of RCW 89. Through its finger-like features that extend into the gas cloud, B1509 is energizing RCW 89.
"Finger-like structures extend to the north, apparently energizing knots of material in a neighbouring gas cloud known as RCW 89," NASA stated. "The transfer of energy from the wind to these knots makes them glow brightly in X-rays (orange and red features to the upper right)."

Vic Theatre – Chicago, IL
April 25, 2010
Quirky? Check. Fun? Check. Colorful? Check. Audience interaction? Check. Vocal talent? Check. Great songs? Check. Inclusion of my favorite song in the set list? Check. In the end, Sia’s performance this past Sunday night at Chicago’s Vic Theatre left me highly satisfied, willing to see the singer live in concert again, and wanting to tell all of my friends about the undeniably talented songwriter. Basically, Sia is amazing. Having interviewed the pop singer/songwriter just a few weeks ago, I had a pretty good grasp on her personality. While doing my research in preparation for my interview with Sia, I became quite familiar with her sound and style of music. However, due to the fact that this show was my first time witnessing the glory and goofiness that is Sia, I had no clue what to expect from her live performance. By the end of the first song “The Fight,” I knew that this adorable feisty Aussie lady would put on quite a show. And that she did.
More photos of Sia and the set list after the jump…
