Despite their beauty and majesty, danger lurks on their narrow ridges. Even the most skillful and experienced mountain climbers can fall victim to their deceiving invitations. Kingdoms of snow, stone and gusting winds, hundreds of human sacrifices stand to testify to their utter lack of mercy. Paved with dangers and fatal traps, these cold-blooded criminals are set on punishing anyone who dares disregard the rules of the game. The taller and more difficult to access, the deadlier these stone giants become. What’s interesting is that all who dare venture on their summits know exactly what’s in store for them. They are well aware they may not ever return home, that the mountain might become their frozen tombs. And yet they willingly take a leap of faith straight into the mouths of these icy man-eaters.
10. Charro Chalten
Killer Mountains – Fitz Roy, Patagonia (Photo by Mariano Mantel)
Mainly known as Fitz Roy to Western climbers, Charro Chalten (11,072 feet) at the border between Chile and Argentina was climbed for the first time back in 1952 by French daredevils Lionel Terray and Guido Magnone. Its height might not seem impressive, but Fitz Roy can prove deadly even for the most experienced climbers. The danger lies in its vertical granite cliffs making every part of the climb a thrilling adventure that might become the climber’s last. Plus, weather conditions can change in less than 5 minutes. Fitz Roy seems specialized in killing photographers, who end up falling from its icy ridges, their bodies never to be recovered. Just to get an idea of how unwelcoming Fitz Roy really is, Everest is successfully ascended by an average 50 persons each year. Fitz Roy is successfully ascended by one person a year at the most, and that’s only if the weather is flawless.
At the border between India and Nepal, Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world after Everest and K2. In Nepali, Kangchenjunga (28,169 feet) means the Five Treasures of Snow. It boasts more than just one peak, as it is, in fact, a mountain range that includes five separate summits, each over 27,723 feet tall. Until 1852, everyone thought it was the world’s highest mountain. Despite the progress made in technology and safety gear, the fatality rate increased to 22% over the past years, claiming over 50 lives in the past century. This is a mere reflection of the result of global warming, as avalanches are more frequent, and severe blizzards arise out of the blue. As if Mother Nature wasn’t hostile enough, Kangchenjunga has recently become a military operations ground for guerrilla troops and Indian and Nepali authorities.
The Hindus chose quite an interesting name for this 26,545 feet mountain, as Annapurna is the Goddess of Crops. Unfortunately, the world’s 10th highest mountain holds a record when it comes to the human lives claimed. Many consider it the world’s deadliest mountain, as the fatality rate reaches 41% of all ascents. First dangers are on the access roads, which are completely destroyed, posing a permanent risk of driving the car into the abyss before even beginning the actual expedition. Since 1950, when it was first ascended, Annapurna has only been climbed by 130 daredevils. A total of 53 climbers paid with their lives for daring to dream too big.
Nicknamed the Wild Mountain, K2 at the border between Pakistan and China is the world’s second tallest mountain. But it does not come in second in terms of dangers, difficulties, and its death toll. K2 (28,251 feet) and Annapurna compete in difficulty. However, all climbers agree that, when it comes to technical challenges, K2 is the absolute winner. Even the easiest route still involves crossing a huge high-altitude glacier, filled with treacherous crevasses that swallow people alive. It also earned a sad reputation as a women killer. Out of the six women who managed to reach its summit over the years, only one returned alive. At least 77 climbers lost their lives on K2. Most of the bodies have never been recovered. The deadliest incident occurred in 1986 when 13 lost their lives during a snow storm.
6. Nanga Parbat
In Urdu, Nanga Parbat means Naked Mountain, named so after its rocky ridges lacking any vegetation. It is also called Diamir, which means The King Mountain, a name that fits it like a glove. But in mountain climbers’ slang, it received a rather macabre nickname due to its notoriety: The Killer. Nanga Parbat (26,657 feet) in Pakistan has all the ingredients that can lead to a tragic death in its kingdom. Death lurks at every corner in hideous forms: pulmonary edema, fatal frostbites, hypothermia, physical exhaustion, altitude sickness, avalanches, and snow storms. In 1930, a German expedition paid the ultimate price for their boldness: 31 members of the team lost their lives. Since Austrian climber Herman Buhl finally reached the summit in 1953, out of the 261 climbers who climbed Nanga Parbat, 61 never returned home.
Mount McKinley (20,320 feet), or Denali as the Athabasca Indian tribes call it, is not only the highest in North America but also a noteworthy collector of human lives. It holds numerous records. One of them is that its base is largest than that of the Everest. What’s truly distinctive is that its northern latitude makes the air extremely rarefied, more rarefied than at 26,000 feet on a mountain in the Ecuador. But the climber’s worst enemy here is the freezing cold. Temperatures drop to -75 degrees Fahrenheit in winter, and during windchills, the temperature felt by the body reaches -117 degrees. This determines an ascent success rate of only 50%. Denali demands its share of human sacrifices each year. It has claimed a total of 120 souls over the past century, out of which 44 found their permanent tomb on its ridges.
4. Mount Washington
It might seem too small to pose any considerable threat, but that’s exactly where the danger lurks in. The likes of Mount Washington wager on their deceiving looks to draw tourists into their traps. Its ridges might look modest and accessible, but the weather can change drastically in minutes. Mount Washington (6,288 feet) in New Hampshire may not be very tall, but there are many areas with permanent snow and ice. These icy slopes and extreme weather conditions claimed 135 souls since 1849. During winter, temperatures drop to -45 degrees Fahrenheit. When you add some wind to that, they can go below -100 degrees. And that’s not all. Get ready to be blown away. In 1934, Mt. Washington’s summit saw the highest wind speed ever recorded in America, and the world for that matter until recently, blowing at 231 mph. That’s enough to demolish a brick wall.
For the majority of us, the Roof of the World is but a childhood dream. For mountain climbers, it is the ultimate goal. At the border between Nepal and China, rising 29,029 feet above sea level, the Everest is the world’s highest mountain, and it maintains the same leading position when it comes to difficult ascents, traps, and human lives it claimed. Chomolungma was first climbed by Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953. From that moment on, the Roof of the World demanded over 250 human sacrifices. The worst accident occurred in 1996, when 8 climbers lost their lives during a snow storm. The harshest conditions begin once entering the so-called Death Zone, somewhere over the altitude of 26,000 feet, when the oxygen in the air is simply not sufficient. Those who aim to reach the summit without an oxygen tank only have a few hours at their disposal to make the climb and return to the base camp. Some do not make it. It is a macabre ground, a cemetery of corpses frozen for eternity just under the summit of the Roof of the World. Around 120 bodies are still trapped on the mountain.
2. Mount Fuji
Dominating Japan’s capital like and old wise man for millenniums, Mount Fuji‘s distinctive volcanic figure has always sparked the imagination of poets and artists in the Land of the Rising Sun. Covered in mystery and legend, the seemingly peaceful and quiet mountain can be very deceiving. When it comes to tourists, it is ruthless and spares no one who dares defy its powers. Each year between the months of October and April, dozens of tourists who ignore the authorities’ warnings fall into its traps, digging their own grave on its peaks. Mount Fuji (12,388 feet) is famous for its sunrise, considered one of the loveliest in the world thanks to the unique shades the sun casts on its ridges. Many tourists try to climb the mountain at night in the hope of capturing the perfect dawn from as high as possible. Up to 100 bodies are found each year on the mountain, mainly in the Aokigahara forest at its foothills, one of the creepiest places on Earth, where many strange deaths and suicides have been reported.
The Germans may call it Matterhorn and the Italians Cervino, but we are talking about the same deadly mountain rising haughtily over the border between Switzerland and Italy. Acclaimed as the deadliest mountain in the Alps, Matterhorn (14,691 ft) is perhaps the most recognizable summit, with its stately silhouette that can make any postcard perfect, rising up like a white triangular chimney piercing the skies. But Matterhorn, the very symbol of the Alps, is, in fact, a cold-blooded killer. It punished almost every attempt to climb its ridges. Since 1865, when the first successful expedition reached the summit, Matterhorn claimed over 500 human lives. It seems that the main reason for this macabre death toll is the mountain’s fame, attracting tourists that are not always well-prepared and up for the challenge, who dare compare the Alps with a Disneyland ride. Among the many dangers that lurk here, the most treacherous are the unpredictable avalanches and sudden rockfalls, accompanied by severe wind gusts. Climbers are often the sad target of huge rocks dislocated by the teams above, throwing them into the void in a split second.

#Globalwarming, Green House Gas (#GHG) emissions, #Climatechange are matters of immense concern all over the world. If these concerns are not addressed in time, it will have detrimental effects. The consequences would be the destruction of green cover, food and water shortages, societal imbalances and inequality. Lastly, it would affect businesses and the global economy. Hence it should be understood that the environment and economy are tightly coupled. If humankind needs to survive and flourish its important that the economy takes good care of the environment.
Where does the problem lie?
The first step to solve a problem is to understandwhere the problem lies. The top three sectors which contribute the most to greenhouse gas emissions are:
- Power Generation: By burning coal thermal power plants, generate electricity.
- Transport &Logistics: Combustion requires the burning of Fossil fuels.
- Manufacturing: Production processes requiring heat are mostly run on fossil fuels. Manufacturing also adds indirectly to electricity used.
From the above three sectors, Power generation is slow to adapt to change, there are a lot of additional factors such as government approvals and permissions involved. But the remaining two i.e. Logistics and Manufacturing have understood the need for sustainable growth and environmental concerns.
Logistics industry contributes immensely to climate change. Transport burns up most of the petroleum products, resulting in the release of oxides, particulates and carbon dioxide.
As per Wikipedia, fleet emission of delivery vans, trucks and big rigs is 10.17 kg CO2 per gallon of diesel consumed. Delivery vans and trucks average about 7.8 mpg (or 1.3 kg of CO2 per mile) while big rigs average about 5.3 mpg (or 1.92 kg of CO2 per mile). The road haulage industry is contributing around 20% of the UK's total carbon emissions a year.
GHG emission from transport and logistics accounted for up to 28% of the total gas emissions in the US for the year 2019 (source: https://www.epa.gov/transportation-air-pollution-and-climate-change/carbon-pollution-transportation).
The concept of Green logistics achieved a centre stage in the mid-’80s. Green logistics is the implementation of systems and approaches using advanced technology to minimize environmental damage during operations. This includes forward as well as reverse logistics. Green logistics aims to achieve a fine balance between economic productivities and environmental sustainability. Practically speaking, Green logistics needs to add value to Society, Environment as well as the economy. (make sure to provide sources, where are we getting this knowledge from?)
Green logistics can be applied as follows:
Software for Green Initiatives
The best way for companies to streamline their logistics operations to achieve green objectives is to use competent software tools. With Supply chain technology, you can:
|Effective route planning||The software can automate the process of route planning and give multiple route options for a specific load. (instead of route planning, let’s focus on Mobility and Communication – as our software is not a route planning tool). But you can still mention it – just an FYI|
|Best Mode||Using the best mode i.e. Rail, road, air or water can help in curtailing GHG emissions.|
|Reduce ‘empty miles’||Trucks which travel one way with a load do not have to travel back empty.|
|Reduce Paper||Automated systems with hybrid mobile app support can help reduce paper trails.|
Making the right choice
People Plus Software Inc. has developed the tools which can proficiently support the green initiatives of the Supply Chain Management industry. iM3 SCM suite is an intelligent cloud-based solution enabling efficient fleet and warehouse management. With embedded Barcode/ RFID reading its possible optimize consignment movement taking into consideration package dimensions and measurements.

Infinite Blackjack is one of the most popular live dealer games at online casinos. Live dealers can also play baccarat, although this game is not nearly as popular as blackjack.
While live dealers offer an authentic experience, it is also important to know that not all online casinos provide live dealers. Some may have better live setups than others, so it is essential to do your Toto Sgp homework and shop around before choosing an online casino to play live dealer games. You should also know that you can sign up at a casino online in just a few simple steps.
Live dealer games are available on most mobile devices. These games can be downloaded directly from the casino website or the app store for Apple or Android devices. Live dealers also provide an option to interact with a real dealer through a chat bar. However, you must be sure that you are in the app to take advantage of this feature.

Florence Schelling Becomes First Female Gm In Swiss National League History
Worldwide, home violence is taken into account as one of the frequent forms of gender-primarily based violence . In varied European countries the lifetime prevalence of violence in intimate partnerships is reported to be between 10% and 36% . In the above-talked about definition, both of these forms must be understood as a subgroup of psychological violence. Characteristic for these types of behavior is that they purpose to regulate the victim and restrict her free will . Men are extra usually affected by violence carried out in public places, whereas women expertise violence extra usually inside shut social relationships.
In a consultant examine investigating “life state of affairs, security and health of women in Germany” , it was proven that in ninety nine% of the instances, violence against women is carried out by men. A pilot study investigating violence against men showed that men are particularly prone to be victims of violence in public settings; nevertheless, men have been also found to experience violence in intimate relationships. As a rule, home violence doesn’t describe a single violent event, however quite a posh system of abuse that may include physical, psychological and sexual violence. Despite the neutral definition of home violence, it mostly includes gender-specific violence based mostly on inequality between the sexes.
The FIGO (Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d’Obstétrique) Committee for the Study of Ethical Aspects of Human Reproduction has released statements on this problem . In particular, depression, anxiousness and panic assaults, nervousness, insomnia, concentration problems, disturbances in sexual emotions and perceptions, worry /swiss-women/ of intimacy, loss of self-esteem and self-respect have been described . Studies present that 37% of the ladies who have skilled violence undergo from depression , forty six% from nervousness and panic attacks, and forty five% have posttraumatic stress disorder .
The section on political rights within the 1848 Constitution simply said that “Swiss residents” have the best to vote and did not explicitly bar women from the proper to vote or to face for election. However, the prevalent legal follow at the time treated women and men in a different way based on their organic variations.
However, alcohol and drug abuse by the ladies themselves was additionally discovered to be a risk issue for experiencing abuse . In a Jordanian study on 365 women attending public well being centres within the Balkan region, 87% had been victims of domestic violence in the last 12 months. The most typical kind of reported violence was emotional abuse (47.5%) followed by spouse beating (19.6%) . An Iranian study was carried out at three obstetric and gynaecological clinics in Teheran. The examine inhabitants consisted of 1000 married women aged between 15 and 64 years.
Last year half a million people marched to spotlight the nation’s poor document on women’s rights. This yr’s version of what organizers call the Women’s Strike was extra subdued given coronavirus restrictions. A demonstrator holds a sign during a march to demand more equality and the top of violence towards women, amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, in Zurich, Switzerland June 14, 2020. This time, there shall be actions across the nation, coordinated by a Zurich-based mostly group that is a part of the global Women’s March community. The event is dubbed frauen strike, grève des femmes, sciopero delle donne, relying on the country’s area.
I would not describe myself as somebody who is very loud – I’m not good at elbowing. Sometimes I feel like I’m breaking right into a male domain, as a result of the whole world continues to be male dominated, and I have to defend myself. Rejection has never caused me to doubt my work, it has at all times spurred me on to do higher. It’s worth it in the end, however it takes time, and in that point you construct up a network.
Dear Young Swiss Women: How To Fight Gender Discrimination At Work
In conclusion, only few threat components for home violence have been unequivocally identified. These are violence skilled in childhood, present alcohol/drug abuse within the women themselves or their companions, youthful age, lower schooling and being unmarried. However, threat components appear to vary in several parts of the world and in precept home violence can affect women of any age, training or marital status. In Maffli and Zumbrunn’s research investigating home violence and alcohol primarily based on calls to the phone helpline “Die Dargebotene Hand”, having an alcohol-dependent companion was clearly associated with domestic violence . Frequently, there’s a direct connection between the perpetrator of home violence and the influence of alcohol.
I thought it would be tough to turn into a part of the scene, and now I’m all of a sudden on the centre of it. Support for the latter hypothesis stems from the Federal Council’s inactivity and its determination to sit down on the problem for a long time as a substitute of taking a proactive position. However, there isn’t any approach to determine whether or not the Swiss men would have accepted the introduction of women’s suffrage earlier if the Federal Council would have pushed the difficulty. The determination of the court ended the Swiss women’s battle for suffrage in any respect political levels.
Women Of The Year Edit
Parts of Swiss civil society started to call for a constitutional amendment as early as 1893. In 1909, the Swiss Association for Women’s Suffrage (Schweizerische Verband für Frauenstimmrecht), the first affiliation with the express goal of gaining women’s suffrage, was founded. The group was the driving pressure behind the primary attempt to offer women with political rights at the federal stage and submitted a petition signed by 249,237 citizens and supported by the Swiss parliament. The Swiss Federal Council–the Swiss government– took no motion to introduce legislation.
Four years later, the government passed the Gender Equality Act to guard women within the office. Protesters put stress on the federal government to address gender-primarily based violence and the pay hole. Another Geneva resident, Rose-Angela Gramoni, mentioned she had joined all the women’s strikes since 1991. When I began, I felt like tradition was a pie that it’s extremely tough to get a slice of.
(Bericht des Bundesrates an die Bundesversammlung über die Konvention zum Schütze der Menschenrechte und Grundfreiheiten, at 1142). A massive demonstration was profitable in demanding a second vote on women’s political rights. The subsequent proposal of the Federal Council included women’s suffrage at the federal level, but left voting at the cantonal and communal stage to be decided by cantonal legislation. On February 7, 1971, Swiss men accepted women’s suffrage 65.7% to 34% after a greater than one hundred-yr lengthy struggle.
In whole, greater than 70 votes on the federal, cantonal, and communal level had been necessary to introduce political rights for women on all political levels. Several women’s associations feared that the step of signing the ECHR without women’s suffrage would legitimize the lack of political rights for ladies underneath international legislation.

Washroom Legal Requirements
What do you need to do?
If your company has any female employees, or if women from other companies visit your premises, in many cases you can break employment law, environmental law or health and safety law without even knowing it.
You may be breaking the law if you don’t provide a sanitary waste disposal bin. The ‘Duty of Care’ Act demands that sanitary waste is managed to the point of disposal. Waste must be carried by a licensed carrier and a full audit trail of documentation must be available at all times. Failure to comply can lead to a large fine or a term of imprisonment.
This applies to all commercial premises, even if only one female is employed.
This regulation is further endorsed by the Water Industries Act 1991, which states that no items should be flushed that could cause a blockage within the sewer or drain.
As employers, we are all bound by law to provide adequate and appropriate washroom facilities for our staff. The following section from Statutory Instrument 1992 No.3004, The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 outlines what we are obliged to do.
(1) Suitable and sufficient sanitary conveniences shall be provided at readily accessible places.
(2) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1), sanitary conveniences shall not be suitable unless’
(a) the rooms containing them are adequately ventilated and lit;
(b) they and the rooms containing them are kept in a clean and orderly condition; and
(c) separate rooms containing conveniences are provided for men and women except where and so far as each convenience is in a separate room the door of which is capable of being secured from inside.
(3)It shall be sufficient compliance with the requirement in paragraph (1) to provide sufficient sanitary conveniences in a workplace which is not a new workplace, a modification, an extension or a conversion and which, immediately before this regulation came into force in respect of it, was subject to the provisions of the Factories Act 1961, if sanitary conveniences are provided in accordance with the provisions of Part II of Schedule 1.
(1) Suitable and sufficient washing facilities, including showers if required by the nature of the work or for health reasons, shall be provided at readily accessible places.
(2) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1), washing facilities shall not be suitable unless’
(a) they are provided in the immediate vicinity of every sanitary convenience, whether or not provided elsewhere as well;
(b) they are provided in the vicinity of any changing rooms required by these Regulations, whether or not provided elsewhere as well;
(c) they include a supply of clean hot and cold, or warm, water (which shall be running water so far as is practicable);
(d) they include soap or other suitable means of cleaning;
(e) they include towels or other suitable means of drying;
(f) the rooms containing them are sufficiently ventilated and lit;
(g) they and the rooms containing them are kept in a clean and orderly condition; and
(h) separate facilities are provided for men and women, except where and so far as they are provided in a room the door of which is capable of being secured from inside and the facilities in each such room are intended to be used by only one person at a time.
(3) Paragraph (2)(h) shall not apply to facilities which are provided for washing hands, forearms and face only.

Senator Rand Paul confirmed Wednesday that anti-Trump DOJ officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page still possess their top secret security clearances; adding the two still have “access to sensitive private information.”
Paul sent a scathing letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray weeks ago, demanding answers over whether the Trump-hating employees “still have security clearances” and “have the ability to search FISA data or other classified databases.”
The libertarian lawmaker received his response this week, with officials telling Paul “all FBI employees must maintain a Top Secret security clearance.”
“BREAKING: FBI admits that @realDonaldTrump haters still have Top Secret security clearances which allows them to access sensitive private information!” tweeted Sen. Paul.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) April 11, 2018
Page and Strzok made national headlines months ago when their anti-Trump text messages shed new light on widespread bias and abuse throughout the FBI and the Department of Justice.

NUNES GOES NUCLEAR: Devin Nunes Threatens to 'IMPEACH' Rosenstein, Wray
Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes threatened FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein with “impeachment” Tuesday night over their continued stonewalling of his Russia investigation.
“The Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) is threatening to ‘hold in contempt and impeach’ FBI director Christopher Wray and Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein if they do not turn over a less than two-page document requested by the committee months ago, which outlined the bureau’s initiation of the case to investigate President Trump’s 2016 campaign and alleged Russia collusion,” writes Sara Carter.
“Nunes has battled the DOJ and the Bureau for information for more than a year and threatened contempt in January when Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein refused to hand over documentation requested by the committee,” she adds.

BIAS ALERT: FBI Agents ‘PRESSURED’ to END Hillary Probe After Trump Nomination
Officials at the Department of Justice forked over hundreds of pages of previously unseen text messages to Congressional investigators over the weekend; revealing new details on how FBI agents were “pressured” to exonerate Hillary Clinton’s private email scandal after Donald Trump secured the GOP nomination in 2016.
New text messages between FBI agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page shed new light on the level of anti-Trump bias and corruption throughout the agency in the run-up to the US presidential election; suggesting the bureau was hoping to conclude Clinton’s probe within minutes of Donald Trump’s victory over GOP opponent Senator Ted Cruz.
“Holy s*** Cruz just dropped out of the race. It’s going to be a Clinton Trump race. Unbelievable,” wrote Page in May of 2016.
“I saw Trump won, figured it would be a bit,” responded Strzok. “Now the pressure really starts to finish MYE.”
The reference to “MYE” refers to ‘Mid-Year Exam,’ the FBI code name for the ongoing investigation of Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information and use of a private email server.
According to CBS News, the conversation was included in Sen. Ron Johnson’s scathing letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, where the Homeland Security Chairman demanded answers over anti-Trump bias at the agency ahead of the 2016 election.

For a long time people have acknowledged that owning a pet is an enjoyable and rewarding experience, particularly for seniors. More than being just cute and cuddly, many studies have found that owning a pet provides significant health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, fighting heart disease, stroke and depression. This is why more nursing homes around the country are now introducing companion animals.
As staff at a senior living home in Austin, Texas declared, “We love our residents and we love their pets. Pets have a special way of lighting up our residents’ hearts and we feel that this is one more way that makes our community a home!”
According to a study by the University of Minnesota, along with various experts in the field of pet therapy, the following benefits of owning a pet have been found:
- Having a pet actually lowers medical costs. It’s been found that seniors that own pets require fewer medical appointments than those who do not. This is especially the case with more minor health issues.
- Pets alleviate loneliness.When the elderly are recovering from long-term illness, loneliness is one of the largest obstacles to recovery. Patients who have suffered heart attacks and own pets have approximately five times the survival rate of patients who do not.
- Heart patients who are pet owners live longer than those who don’t have pets. Likewise, those who have a pet by their side during difficult situations suffer less increases to heart rate and blood pressure.
- People who don’t own cats are 30 to 40% more likely to die of heart disease than cat owners.
- Senior citizens with pets have more emotional stability in times of stress. Those of us who have our own furry companion know too well the amazing comfort and companionship a pet can provide during difficult times.
- Owning a pet helps combat depression.
- Pets assist people to adapt. This is especially useful for the elderly when life changes such as living in a new environment or losing friends or spouses are a major cause for concern. Pet owners receive a huge emotional benefit from the consistency and companionship provided by their human – animal relationship.
- Caring and interacting with a pet requires more physical activity than living alone. Even if the pet is small, or the elderly owner is not responsible for exercising the pet, the daily interactions of providing care for and playing with the animal can provide more activity for the senior person.
- Certain dogs can be trained to predict the onset of a seizure. The trained dogs can then alert the individual and others of an upcoming problem.
- Stroking and patting an animal reduces a person’s blood pressure and induces relaxation. Studies have proven that there are also long-term positive effects on blood pressure.
- Having a dog or cat also encourages social interaction, stimulates conversation and encourages physical activity with others.

The months old dispute whether hashtags work on Facebook or not is finally resolved – so far they haven’t, however Facebook announced today that it’s launching ability to follow conversations via hashtags.
The Facebook admits that this is not an innovative function and further explains that “every day, hundreds of millions of people use Facebook to share their thoughts on big moments happening all around them…— people on Facebook connect with their friends about what’s taking place all over the world. …To bring these conversations more to the forefront, we will be rolling out a series of features that surface some of the interesting discussions people are having about public events, people, and topics. As a first step, we are beginning to roll out hashtags on Facebook.”
Facebook statement indicates that hastags will be rolled out gradually and we’ll also see some other new functions of this sort.
From a practical perspective this means that once rolled out, any hashtags you add to your posts will now be clickable. The search bar at the top of the Facebook homepage will also allow users to look for hashtags, and hashtags on Facebook will also tie in to those from other social media platforms such as Pintrest, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr.
This will allow you to add context to a post and indicate that it’s part of larger discussion. By clicking on a hashtag you will see a feed of what other people and pages are saying about a topic or an event.
But there is a big difference in using hashtags in Facebook and it relates to Privacy settings.
From a privacy perspective, hashtags will work similarly to Facebook Graph Search. You’ll only see the comments that you’re authorized to see. This means that if you include a hashtag in friends-only post, only your friends will be able to see it in a hashtag search.
Considering that hashtags are already widely used on other social media platforms and commonly visible on Facebook already, it is highly likely that users will embrace this new add-on. And that can only be positive for Facebook Business Pages as well.

Hello. I’m coming to you from my Powerbook G4 Devining Rod. It’s the latest in high tech dowsing electronics. It doubles as an upper body fitness machine and aides in the development of one-handed keyboarding skills.
I’ve spent the entire last week wandering around the front yard of the Florida bungalow trying to find enough signal strength to communicate with the rest of the world. At one point, I was sitting in the road in the middle of 16th Ave. NE. trying to IM with Hoss. Since it’s constructed of brick pavers it wasn’t real comfy. And I lost my connection every other line. And I almost got run over thrice.
The thing is this: I can get some signal some times by sitting on the park bench in front of our St. Pete bungalow. But just when I go to type a comment or switch to a different blog, the signal disappears. I don’t think Big Ernie wants me to pirate wi-fi. But don’t you think signals in space should be free? I mean, if people can pick up FM radio in their fillings, shouldn’t I be able to just use whatever wi-fi signal is out there?
I had one pre-dated post wishing Abby a happy birthday that went up yesterday but I haven’t really gotten much beyond that. I stopped by a couple places in the neighborhood and I tried to pick up my e-mail.
Right now, I’m at the Tampa airport headed home and it’s the same deal. At the moment I have no signal but if I hold my laptop straight out in front of me and wander first towards the women’s room and then towards the bar and finally wave it up and down in front of the window facing the runway I’ll get enough signal to post this. Maybe.
I’m looking forward to seeing you all very soon. I’ve missed you.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas will make its annual trip to North Little Rock to face Valparaiso on Saturday (Dec. 21). Tip-off is set for 7 pm.
The Arkansas women’s team will face UALR on Saturday in North Little Rock as well with that game t starting at 1 pm. Simmons Bank Arena will be cleared between games and fans must purchase separate tickets for both contests.
This will be the first time Arkansas has ever faced Valpo.
This will be the 21st time since 1999 Arkansas has played in North Little Rock. The Razorbacks are 11-9 in the previous 20 contests, have won three straight and won six of the last seven.
Arkansas will not play again until Dec. 29 when the Razorbacks are at Indiana. Tip-off for that contest is set for 5 pm (CT).
#23 in First NCAA NET, But #12 RPI, #10 Seed in Bracketology
• Arkansas’ NET was 23 in the first official NCAA NET rankings (Dec. 16).
^ Arkansas’ NET is 2nd-best among SEC schools behind Auburn (7).
^ The rest of the SEC in the NET: 25 Tennessee; 26 LSU; 46 Ole Miss; 58 Kentucky; 73 Missouri; 76 Georgia; 78 Florida 6-3; 90 Mississippi State; 96 Alabama; 99 Vanderbilt; 145 South Carolina and 281 Texas A&M.
• Arkansas has an RPI of 12, up two after a 19-point win over Tulsa. Arkansas’ RPI is better than 10 teams in the top 25, including Virginia, Arizona, Oregon, Tennessee, Butler, Penn State, Memphis, Washington, Michigan and Michigan State.
• ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has the Hogs as a #10 seed, facing Indiana in Spokane of the West Region of the 2020 NCAA Basketball Tournament.
So Far, This is the Worst and the Best Rebounding Year in History
• Arkansas knew all along with the loss of Daniel Gafford (8.7 rpg last season) and no size returning, rebounding was going to be an issue.
• Arkansas ranks 314th NCAA/14th SEC in offensive rebounds per game (7.7 avg).
• Arkansas ranks 271st NCAA/13th SEC in rebounds per game (34.2 avg).
• Arkansas ranks 276th NCAA/13th SEC in rebound margin (-2.2 avg).
• Arkansas ranks 151st NCAA/8th SEC in defensive rebounds per game (26.5 avg) ... BUT SEE BELOW
• THIS IS THE WORST OFFENSIVE REBOUNDING YEAR DATING BACK TO 1986-87*
^ Arkansas gets 7.7 offensive boards while opponents get 26.0 defensive boards.
^ Arkansas gets a program worst 22.9% of available rebounds on the offensive end.
• THIS IS THE BEST DEFENSIVE REBOUNDING YEAR DATING BACK TO 1986-87*
^ Arkansas gets 26.5 defensive boards while opponents get 10.4 offensive boards.
^ Arkansas gets a program-best 71.8% of available rebounds on the defensive end.

^ Jones ranks 39th in the NCAA among guards in overall FG% (50.5%).
• However, Jones is shooting an impressive 68.6% (35-of-51) inside the 3-point arc this season.
^ To put his 2-point shooting in perspective, #6 on the NCAA FG% leaders list is 68.6% by 6-11 forward Zeke Nnaji (Arizona).
Joe – in Just 44 Games – is 6 3’s From Career Top 10
• Isaiah Joe went into several record books last season. He set four school records for 3-pointers, two SEC freshman records (while being just the fourth SEC frosh to lead the league 3PT%) and made the fourth-most 3-pointers by a freshman in NCAA history.
• Joe is on the verge of entering the Arkansas career record for 3-pointers made.
^ Joe has made 147 career triples — six shy of 10th (153 by Jonathan Modica (2003-06).
^ Joe has made 147 treys in 44 career games. By comparison, Modica needed 118 games to make his 153.
^ Joe made 113 triples as a freshman and entered the season needing to make just 40 3’s to enter the career top 10.
• Joe makes 39.4% percent of his 3-pointers. At that pace, he would rank ninth in school history.

LANSING, Mich. — Kathie Klages, the former Michigan State University women’s gymnastics coach whose once steadfast support of disgraced former Michigan State and Team USA doctor Larry Nassar made her a lightning rod for criticism, has been found guilty of two counts of lying to police.
Klages, 65, could be sentenced to up to four years in prison. Sentencing is set for April 18th
The former coach worked closely with Nassar during their lengthy careers in the sport. A jury found Friday that Klages lied to police in 2018 when she told them that she had no memory of gymnasts complaining about Nassar in the past.
Two former gymnasts — Larissa Boyce and a friend who has chosen to remain anonymous — testified earlier this week that they told Klages back in 1997 when they were teenagers that Nassar was touching them inappropriately.
Klages told police in June 2018 that she had no memory of the gymnasts’ complaints, and she maintained that story Friday when she made a surprising decision to testify in her own defense. Klages said she trusted Nassar until after his arrest in 2016, so much so that she allowed her own children and granddaughter to see him as patients.

Walk a mile in my shoes, just to try them on for size.
You'll think it's easy to be me, until you see through all my lies.
You think I'm happy?
Well take a closer look.
Maybe you'll notice that this smile has been mistook.
It's just a mask to hide what's underneath;
To hide all the misery that's stuck inside of me.
Looking at me, you wouldn't suspect a thing.
Until you uncover the truth and dig into the pain.
I'm merely just a canvas, with my plain colors of grey.
Nothing but a nothing, awaiting to be thrown away.
But you don't see. I cover up the pain.
I paint myself with colors to hide it all away.
I seem just like everyone else, covered with streaks of paint.
A little grey shows through but it's still pretty faint.
But inside? Underneath my costume of colors?
I'm just a broken soul, that depression seems to follow.

Hexes & Ohs at Steam Whistle's Unsigned
Hexes & Ohs are Heidi Donnelly and Edmund Lam, a Montreal-based electro indiepop duo and real-life couple whose collaborative efforts on-and-off the stage have lasted longer than most modern rock n' roll romances. Their 2005 debut album Goodbye Friend, Welcome Lover generated a lot of buzz on the blogosphere, drawing comparisons to New Order, The Postal Service and friends Woodhands and got them spots on festivals around Canada and across the border such as the CMJ Music Marathon in New York.
After three (long) years, Hexes & Ohs will finally be releasing their follow-up entitled Bedroom Madness this September. The band is currently en route to our fair city for tomorrow night's Unsigned at the Steam Whistle, sharing the stage with Gravity Wave, Bocce and Opopo. I spoke to Edmund this morning and asked - why the bloody hell did it take so long?
Hi Edmund, when are you coming out with a second album? What's it called and how is it different from "Goodbye Lover"?
Our new album is called "Bedroom Madness" and will be out mid September 2008. We've actually had most of songs written over a year and a half ago, but we really wanted to work with specific people so it took some time to get things to come together.
The main difference with this album is the songwriting, we've gotten much better at it and learned how to write hooks and make things sound more effortless. Our musicianship has vastly improved, as well as our ear for production. The songs are more immediate, danceable and just... bigger. It must sound like we really love ourselves, we're just really proud of this one.
What has Hexes and Ohs been up to since playing all these festivals (CMJ, CMW, NxNE, etc.) - any plans to tour the rest of the country, maybe North America? I've heard you have quite a fanbase in Europe - any impending plans to promote your music across the Atlantic?
We've been writing and playing a lot of one-off shows, mostly in Montreal and Toronto. We are in the midst of booking a west coast tour for the fall, from Montreal to Vancouver, which we're pretty excited about. We would absolutely love to go over to Europe, we definitely have our heart set out on doing that in the near future, nothing in the works as of yet though.
You're shooting the video for "H-h-high School" this weekend with Toronto video prodigy Alon Isocianu (who recently did USS' video for "Hollowpoint Sniper Hyperbole"). How did the collaboration with him come about? And what's the video concept?
Our mutual friend Alice Phieu introduced us. She showed me some of his videos and him some of our music, and I think we independently realized it would be a great fit. He contacted us some weeks later and it went from there. It's going to be a performance based clip with a loose high school theme mixed in with some illustrated elements. I've done a bunch of doodles of monsters and weirdos and it will be incoporated into the video somehow.
What do you like and loathe most about playing in Toronto? Do you have any must-go/do/see TO hotspots when you're in town?
Toronto has amazing food, because there's a larger immigrant population I suppose. The sushi, in particular, is generally cheaper and fresher than ours. Everytime we're there, we make sure to have at least one sushi based meal. There's a Vietnamese Pho place near the Drake Hotel that's quite good as well. Heidi is also a huge H&M fan, so we usually try to pay them a visit when time permits.
The least favorite thing about playing Toronto is definitely the driving. We've gotten somewhat used to it by now so it's really not that bad.
Who are your fave Toronto bands?

Measurement of roundness is defined as a condition of a surface of revolution. All points of the surface are intersected by any plane perpendicular to a common axis in case of cylinder and come.
Devices Used for Measurement of Roundness
- Diametral gauge.
- Circumferential conferring gauge ⇒ a shaft is confined in a ring gauge and rotated against a set indicator probe.
- Rotating on center
- Three point probe.
- Accurate spindle.
The measuring plungers are located 180° a part and the diameter is measured at several places. This method is suitable only when the specimen is elliptical or has an even number of lobes. Diametral check does not necessarily disclose effective size or roundness. This method is unreliable in determining roundness.
Circumferential confining gauge
Image shows the principle of this method. It is useful for inspection of roundness in large production. This method requires a separate highly accurate master for each size part to be measured. The clearance between part and gauge is critical to reliability. This technique does not allow for the measurement of other related geometric characteristics, such as concentricity, flatness of shoulders etc.
Rotating on centers
Fig shows shaft is inspected for roundness while mounted on center. In this case, reliability is dependent on many factors like angle of centers, alignment of centres, roundness and surface condition of the centres and centre holes and run out of piece.
Out of straightness of the part will cause a doubling run out effect and appear to be roundness error.
The set up employed for assessing the circularity error by using V-Block is shown in image.
The Vee block is placed on a surface plate and the work to be checked is placed upon it. A diameter indicator is fixed in a stand and its feeler is made to rest against the surface of the work. The work is rotated to measure the rise on fall of the work piece.
For determining the number of lobes on the work piece, the work piece is first tested for 60° V-Block and then for 90° V-Block. The number of lobes is then equal to the number of times that the indicator pointer deflects through 360° rotation of the work piece.
- The circularity error is greatly affected by the following factors.
- If the circularity error is Δe, then it is possible that the indicator shows no variation.
- Position of the instrument i.e. whether it is measured from top or bottom.
- Number of lobes on the rotating part.
- The instrument position should be in the same vertical plane as the point of contact of the part is with the V-block.
- A leaf spring should always be kept below the indicator plunger and the surface of the part.
Depending on the number of lobes on a part, the following angles of V-block are recommended for the measurement of correct roundness by V-Block method.
|Lobes||Angle of V-block|
|Three point out of roundness||60°|
|Five lobed part||108°|
|Seven lobed part||128°.34′|
It is usually difficult to ascertain the number of lobes of a part and have large number of fixed angle V-blocks. V-block which can be adjusted to correct angle to show out of roundness is better choice. The fig shows a adjustable V-block.
Three point probe
The fig shows three probes with 120° spacing is very useful for determining effective size they perform like a 60° V-block.
A 60° V-block will show no error for 5 and 7 lobes magnify the error for 3-lobed parts show partial error for randomly spaced lobes.
Accurate spindle method is a method to provide a definite value for calibration of measurement of roundness when compared to other method. This is suitable for ball bearing, roller bearing etc. It is shown in fig and these spindles are available in a wide range of tolerances.


Council approves plan to replace St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts
Jan. 30, 2020
A proposal to tear down the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts sailed through council on Wednesday without amendments or debate, paving the way for a redevelopment of the site.
The St. Lawrence Centre, on Front St. E. opposite Berczy Park requires an estimated $42 million in repairs just to bring it up to current municipal code. TO Live, the agency that oversees publicly owned theatres in the city, had asked instead for permission to tear down the complex and rebuild.
It got that approval from city council on Wednesday, without any opposition.
City staff have been instructed to start consulting with key stakeholders in the cultural community and in the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood to help develop a building plan that “reimagines the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts as a new cultural and civic hub.”
A cost estimate is to be prepared after the consultations, but in a submission to a city committee, TO Live proposed a $200 million investment, with $42 million coming from the city that would otherwise have been spent on repairs, $100 million in as-yet-unsecured city, provincial and federal money, and $38 million to $58 million raised by the newly created fundraising arm of TO Live.
The new building will be “a new reimagined centre as a state-of-the-art cultural and civic hub for the city’s creative communities and the community at large, in particular not-for-profit performing arts organizations, centred on its historic role as a landmark centre for economic and cultural activities.”
“The decision at City Council today is the beginning of a valuable and exciting process for the whole community; including the STLC neighbours, our current and potential future tenants, and the City at large. TO Live will now begin the conversations with all stakeholders to discuss the vision and desires of constituents which will ultimately build the foundation of a successful project,” said Clyde Wagner, president and CEO of TO Live.
Not everyone agrees. Len Racioppo, board chair at Factory Theatre and a former board member of Canadian Stage, says his organization has been trying to get city hall’s help updating their venue, located on Bathurst St. He doesn’t understand why the city is willing to invest what is likely to be a lot of money to knock down a theatre building and replace it with something newer and more-up-to-date, but still with large theatres.
These days, smaller theatres are more in use than larger ones, said Racioppo.
“I just don’t think it makes a whole lot of sense to be rebuilding a structure that will probably not be used any more than the current one,” he said.
City council also:
“We’ve been timid about things in the past that we knew in our heart of hearts that we needed,” said Mayor John Tory, speaking to the issue at council. “We need more big attractions in the city.”
Amendments to that motion included proposals to reach out to schools and private owners of ravine properties to engage them in the task of protecting the ravines from further degradation.
The near-unanimous vote came the morning after a Metrolinx public meeting where residents of Leslieville and nearby streets objected to plans to build a section in an elevated railway through the neighbourhoods.
Residents said they’re worried elevating the section, rather than burying it as the city’s relief plan envisioned, could mean the loss of Jimmie Simpson park and recreation centre as well as unbearable noise, with Ontario Line trains every 90 seconds.
“Don’t bury the neighbourhood, bury the Ontario Line,” Fletcher (Ward 14, Toronto-Danforth) told council.

The racer is a Kickstarter backed project which has already surpassed its £10,000 goal. The current tally for the game is £11,661 with five days to go before the 17th February deadline. The game is being developed by Greek developer Antonis Pelekanos and is meant to be a throwback to games such as Daytona USA and Virtua Racing.
“We’re working with Anthony on The 90’s Arcade Racer. Our collaboration will allow him to realise his vision of the game and make sure that he has the necessary Unity programming and design help he needs so that he can concentrate on art and other aspects. On our end, we’ll be working on the Unity programming, physics, tuning and general design and production of the game.”
– Nicalis founder Tyrone Rodriguez

The Village of Orland Park is something of a modern-day Peyton Place for watchdogs and observers of bad behavior by public employees: there is always something afoot, especially when it comes to wasting public funds on food and merriment for public employees.
Gov. Bruce Rauner recently added several key communication personnel to his team, further shaking up his staff following a major political defeat when the Illinois General Assembly overrode his vetoes on a budget and spending plan.
Illinois has its first budget in more than two years after the House voted on Thursday to override Gov. Bruce Rauner’s vetoes of three contentious bills that made it through both chambers in a special extended session.
“Today we’ve seen a complete dereliction of duty by the majority in the General Assembly,” Gov. Bruce Rauner said after the 100th session of the General Assembly closed. “Once again, a tragic failure to serve the people of Illinois. A tragic failure to pass a balanced budget along with critical structural changes to protect taxpayers and grow more jobs.”
State Sens. Kyle McCarter (R-Lebanon) and Dan McConchie (R-Hawthorn Woods) have unveiled a Taxpayer Bargain budget plan they say calls for spending reductions, protections for elementary and secondary education, pension reform, restructuring and legislative accountability.
Several Republican representatives will announce their support for a comprehensive pension reform bill that is meant to improve the pension problems in the state, including the pension crisis in Chicago, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner said on Friday.

Tom Gores spent three years trying to break into the automotive big leagues in Detroit but fell short. Now he's trying a different league.
The Israeli global private equity baron who nearly got control of Delphi last year may be in line to buy the Detroit Pistons. A source told Automotive News sister publication Crain's Detroit Business that Gores, 46, is among several bidders for the National Basketball Association team. Pistons owner Karen Davidson has said she wants to complete a sale by the time the season starts later this month.
Gores, head of Platinum Equity in Beverly Hills, Calif., is estimated by Forbes to be the 147th-richest American, with a $2.2 billion fortune. Platinum put together a $3.6 billion deal to buy the former GM parts unit, which filed for bankruptcy in October 2005.
Platinum had the backing of the federal government's auto task force but lost out at the eleventh hour last October when Delphi lenders bought the company at auction.

Jane Dolapo Balogun, the mother of Wizkid, has been laid to rest in Lagos.
Jane passed away on August 18. The cause of her death was, however, not disclosed.
On Thursday, the Balogun family held a wake keeping at the Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos, to honour Jane.
During the procession, Wizkid, visibly heartbroken and almost in tears, was seen holding a candle alongside his siblings.
The singer was also seen being consoled by family members.
Jane’s funeral service took place on Friday at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), City of David, Victoria Island.
Born on July 14, 1957, Jane is survived by Muniru Olatunji Balogun, her husband and four children.
Her children are Yetunde Balogun, Omolara Osunkoya, Olubusayo Balogun, and Ayodeji ‘Wizkid’ Balogun.
Wizkid, born in Surulere on July 16, 1990, grew up in a polygamous home with a Muslim father and a Christian mother.
In a 2012 radio interview with Tim Westwood, Wizkid revealed that his father has three wives.
Known for his deep affection for his mother, the singer expressed this through the his 2014 song ‘Mummy Mi’, which he dedicated to mothers worldwide.
The track featured heartfelt praise for Jane who he vowed to shower her with life’s finest pleasures.
See the video below:

Lil Dave plays at the best online casinos and reviews them. The best guide for gamblers.
How can an online casino experience compare with the classic land-based casino? Well there are no fluttering lights, dazzling fireworks or exquisite interior designs like you may see in Monte Carlo or Las Vegas. The thing that online casinos do have however is the convenience factor. After a hard day of work when it’s time to kick back with a cold beverage and relax this is where the online casino comes into its own. Players can enjoy all the thrills of a casino from the comfort of their homes. What is also great is that many of the best online casinos have fantastic bonus offerings.
If you are the kind of person who plays lots of online games, you should try playing at online casinos. Instead of just wasting time you could also be wasting money. Actually you will have the opportunity to make lots of money if you get really good. The best way to learn and practice is through free online gambling websites. Most online casinos offer free versions of their software. This is so people can try out their casino and see if they like it.
Slots are the most common game found in any casino. These are machine games and the main attraction in all land based and online casinos. The traditional table games like blackjack, craps and poker require some skill in order to get the best odds and the best chance of winning. Slot machines do not require any skill or knowledge. Anyone can play and there are no legitimate guides to make you a better slot player. Anyone can play slots with a very small bet. Just bet the most coins allowed by the slot machine and you will have the same chance as anyone else.
Online slots select numbers randomly. This is through a program called a random number generator. These random number generators were originally developed in C language. This meant that software needed to be downloaded in order to use the online casino. Today almost all of the major providers of online casino software offer a Java version. The Java version allows players to use a browser based version of the casino that does not need to be downloaded. It is still necessary to have a flash plug-in pre-installed in your browser. These are common plug-ins and will not affect the performance of your computer. The spinning of the reels has no affect on the outcome of each pull or game. The outcome of each game is predetermined by the software. The spinning reels are there for entertainment purposes only. The technology behind land based slot machines has also changed. Slot machines are still played the same way as they have always been but the outcome of each game is now controlled by a computer chip. The chip tells each reel when to stop spinning.
Classic slot machines used a configuration of gears and levers around a metal shaft that held the reels in place. First, a coin detector unlocked the machine and started the game. The shaft was connected to the handle. The handle was pulled to get the reels moving. A braking system was used to stop the spinning reels. Sensors determined where the reels should stop spinning.
The change in technology has both prevented cheating and improved the casinos control over payouts. The technology in the cheating industry had surpassed slot machine security in the late 1980′s. Mechanical devices and lights were being used to trick slot machines into paying out. Microprocessors have made these practices almost impossible. With more control casinos can change pay out rates at any time. They can lower the payout rates when the house is full and raise them to bring in more players during slow times.
Online Casino Gambling has gained great popularity. More and more gambling lovers decide to stay in the comfort of their own home and enjoy playing online instead of going to a real casino. The countless online casinos make it really difficult to recognize which of them are worth your time, money and what’s most important- trust. It is obvious that you don’t have time to check all of them. The situation is particularly complicated when you are a new in the gambling world and do not know exactly how to move here…For this reason, we decided to help you and all those who have entered or are about to enter this fascinating world of games.
When choosing and online casino to play at, many people take into consideration the software used by this casino. Software can and should be tested for inherent fairness. There are several casino software companies which are really worth recommendation and trust for their excellent, fairness certified software products. These are Microgaming, Playtech, Vegas Technology, Cryptologic and RTG. There is also a number of proprietary software platforms.
You can download them to your computer and get easy access and a solid Internet connection. More and more software companies provide Flash Casinos. This form is often welcomed by the users who prefer to play browser based games since they do not take up storage space on one’s computer hard drive. What’s more, these Flash games are compatible with Macintosh computers. It depends on the personal needs of the players which option they will choose.
Next factor taken into consideration by players when choosing a casino are the games offered which obviously depend on the software platform itself. Actually, each software licensee (i.e. casino owner) has influence on game selection. It is up to software licensee whether to offer more or less games. Therefore, if you come across two online casinos using the same software, don’t get misled by the idea that they offer exactly the same games.
Anyway, undoubtedly for most players, a good selection of games is a necessary condition that must be fulfilled.
Table games, card games, slots, video poker and progressives are the mainstay of any online casino. A good casino will make every effort to offer a unique twist on the games. Any casino can claim to have the best games in town. Yet, what counts is the reality. Are they able to prove their games are the best? It isn’t a big deal anymore, where a few dozen games are offered. The truth is that players are more and more demanding. They expect more excitement and more surprises. Therefore, all of the casinos reviewed at Online Casino Gold List offer the largest selections of games. Some provide players with more than 300 and are adding new games each month.
Next factor that players often take into consideration when choosing an online casino - they ask a simple question: “How am I going to be treated if I have any questions or problems?” And here, the importance of customer support department is revealed. Obviously, we expect them to impress us with their kindness and professionalism. None of us would like to be treated badly or stayed unanswered for a longer period. The best online casinos provide several ways to contact them and always have someone available to answer your questions or help whatever problem you encounter.
Finally, it can’t be denied that many players look for casinos which offer attractive welcome bonuses and/or reoccurring promotions.
Nowadays, access to online casino gambling is almost unlimited. It is the right moment to start your adventure. Let us lead you to the best casinos. Let us provide you with tips and advice on how to play the games, and how to select the casino that would be best for your needs.
LilDavesLife.com was created with aim to help the new players make their first steps in this fascinating gambling environment.

We hope the casinos we have chosen will be a source of fun and financial profits for you!
