The concept of E invoicing solutions for electronic invoicing can be termed as the successful transmission and processing of the digital transaction documents between the buyers as well as suppliers. The true electronic invoicing method is considered to be a very efficient manner in which the suppliers can be very easily integrated with the system of buyers. The scanned invoices in the form of PDF will be sent to each other through email.
Following are some of the reasons why this concept has become a very important trend in the world of business organizations nowadays:
–It brings faster payments as well as improved cash flow for the suppliers: The implementation of the concept of electronic invoicing is based upon receiving and uploading the PDF-based invoices from the supplier to the buyer so that submission of the invoices can be done easily. In the traditional systems, the whole concept was prone to the loss of invoices which could lead to a great loss of revenue for the organization and the supplier. But nowadays this concept has become very much easily accessible on the buyers’ system because everything is based upon electronic manners of transferring the documents. Hence, the payments will be done on time which will ultimately help in improving the cash flow of the suppliers.
–It helps in saving a lot of time for the companies: Another great reason why this concept is becoming very much popular day by day is that the implementation of the concept of electronic invoicing helps in saving the time of the companies by removing all the unnecessary steps from the whole process. In this way, the company and its customers will be highly satisfied with the whole thing and the time of both the parties will be easily saved.
–The whole concept is directly linked with cost reduction: Another great benefit of implementing the concept of electronic invoicing is that there will be no need of paying the postal fees throughout the process. The whole concept will also be based upon utilization of already available templates and emailing the PDF’s to each other So that a lot of time is saved and costs are significantly reduced. So, the companies must concentrate on value-adding tasks because time is money and everything is directly linked with cost reduction.
The whole concept is also less prone to errors: The concept of electronic invoicing is also very much successful in the business world because of the benefits provided by it in terms of reducing the mistakes and errors associated with the whole process. The manual Input and data entry will be significantly minimized which will ultimately help to make sure that automation will be improved and mistakes, as well as typing errors, are also eliminated from the whole process. So, people will not be able to lose their invoices in the mail and everything will be under the control of the companies very easily.
–The whole concept is directly linked with offering better customer service: Another great reason why this trend is very much popular nowadays is that the whole concept is directly linked with offering better customer services and increasing the convenience element to the customers throughout the concept. Going with the option of electronic invoices instead of paper-based invoices always helps in making sure that approximately 90% of the time on processing cost is saved and delivery time is also shorter So that customers can also take the advantages of early payment discounts.
–It is a great opportunity of reducing paper consumption: Nowadays each of the organizations wants to operate in such a manner that they contribute maximum to words the eco-friendly systems. Hence, this is another reason why companies are preferring the implementation of electronic invoicing because they want to reduce the consumption of paper and always want to make sure that everything is perfectly implemented in the electronic format. This will help in saving a lot of resources for the organization and they will always be sending the things to the right people in the right way and at the right time and ultimately the relationships with suppliers will be strengthened very easily.
The whole concept is also very well able to keep the track of invoices: Another great benefit of implementing this particular concept is that organizations will be keeping a complete track record of the invoices which have been sent and paid with the help of electronic invoicing software. People will also have a complete idea about the invoices which are sent as well as received depending upon this kind of service provider this can also be reviewed by the customers very easily.
The people in authority can enjoy a high degree of control with this: Whenever the traditional invoicing systems were implemented Then people had no control throughout the process because there were multiple parties involved in the process of making the invoices available to the customers. But now everything is very easily saved on the normal platform’s ad is very easily accessible from anywhere and at any time through any of the devices. So, people will also have a complete approach to automated reporting as well as for analytics. Hence, the systems available to small businesses as well as freelancers will also provide real-time insights to the companies So that they can make data-driven decisions all the time.
–The customization is very well available: Another great reason why this particular concept is very much successful in the business world is the customization element associated with it and the guarantee provided by it in terms of data integrity. Hence, the risk of fraudulent bills will be significantly reduced and the authenticity of the electronic invoices will always be automatically validated because everything will be highly streamlined and under the direct control of the organizations.
Hence, in the business-to-business world concept of electronic invoicing has become the new norm, and nowadays it is very much important to have the E-invoicing system so that companies can boost their productivity and can provide proper scale to their core business functions.

A state-by-state look at our cultural politics.
Global news with a spatial perspective: Interesting, current supplemental materials for geography teachers and students.

A state-by-state look at our cultural politics.
While this doesn't say everything about the state of cultural politics in the United States, it does lay out some of the more ideologically charged debates in the new political landscape after the midterm elections. What does this Venn diagram say about the state of cultural politics in your state? The Courts have aided the push for same sex marriages; will that also occur for marijuana legalization?

"We're far less politically divided by geography than it may seem....Of course, it’s true that Americans aren’t of one mind on many political issues. But it is important that we not look at these maps and infer that we are so politically polarized by geography. In fact, most Americans live in places that are at least somewhat politically and ideologically diverse — even if that’s not reflected in how congressional district boundaries are drawn. In terms of the most important driver of political choices — partisanship — most of us live in a purple America, not a red or blue America."

Heuristic: if a place has sidewalks, it votes Democratic. Otherwise, it votes Republican.— Nate Silver (@fivethirtyeight) September 3, 2012
Nate Silver became about as big of a celebrity as a statistician can become during the election (being called everything from a prophet to a witch). This little nugget is obviously an overgeneralization, but it appears that is has enough substance to give it some serious consideration. Where does this hold true and where is it false? How come? If it is true, why would this be true?
Shaped like a giant pistol sitting on its butt end, Wisconsin's new 22nd state Senate District is Exhibit A in the case against partisan redistricting.
The redistricting process is far from neutral; to be fair we should remember that gerrymandering is has happened on all ends of the political spectum. Which map to you think is the best way to divide these districts? What is the fairest way to divide them?
While this cartoon is flippant, the attached Washington Post article is not. In the culumative congressional voting, Democrats have more votes but won fewer seats than the Republicans. Many are starting to question the redistricting process after the 2010 census.
I'm sure most of you have seen the 2008 version of these fantastic maps and cartograms and they've been a go-to reference for me since the last election. The typical red state/blue state map conceals much concerning the spatial voting patterns in the United States and fails to account for the population densities of these distributions. That's what makes this county level voting maps and cartograms so valuable.
Questions to Ponder: What new patterns can you see in the county map that you couldn't see in the state map? What do the cartograms tell you about the United States population?
"Why Republicans Can't Afford to Concede the City Vote Ever Again."
Not trying to make a political statement, just bringing the geography into an analysis of the political landscape: the United States is an urban country and any political party hoping to win a national election must capture at least some of the major metropolitan areas of the country. That isn't ideological; that's simple urban geography and demographics making it's way into national politics. "The math of assuming that the cities will go to Democrats is just a losing game going forward for Republicans."
See how much voter groups have shifted in the 2012 exit polls, compared to 2008. Early numbers are preliminary and may change significantly until midday Wednesday, when poll results are finalized.
The 2012 election mostly went as predicted (given Virginia and Florida's voting pattern, I'd invite you to re-think the "Where Does the South Begin" or at least to contextualize the political and cultural implications for the defining the vernacular region of "the South"). I'm sure we've all seen the electoral college map, but this great graphic shows the demographic groups voting patterns that produced that map.
Live election results from The Huffington Post. Romney vs. Obama, Senate, House and ballot measures.
This is one of many election maps that I am continually refreshing. When I lived in California I would always try to stay up for the results--now that I'm on the East Coast I don't think that is going to happen tonight (FYI: I've refreshed this map too many times to count).
NP: Four years ago, Channel One News, the weekday news program for middle and high school kids featured a dynamic area cartogram as a way of making the point that some states have much more electoral weight than others. In that broadcast, the map of the United States, featuring the familiar red and blue states indicating presidential election results, became animated. States with smaller populations squeezed into tiny shapes, while states with large populations expanded. At the time, we didn't know this kind of map was called an area cartogram; we called it a "squishy map." It does a nice job of making this case: some states matter more than others when it comes to US presidential elections.
Seeing the map on Channel One also launched me into work that continues with my dissertation. What kind of sense do kids make from complex representations like an area cartogram? In the Channel One broadcast in 2008, the map was presented as part of a sensible lesson about "electoral weight." With Vanderbilt professors Rogers Hall and Kevin Leander, we wondered if the map made sense to kids and if the argument was strengthened by the map.
Four years later, I'm still working on those questions and others like them. In the mean time, here's another awesome area cartogram. In this case, NPR's "It's All Politics" blogger Adam Cole makes an argument about the advertisement spending of superPACs and other outside groups. Which states matter to these groups? And how much do they spend per voter on these ads? The squishy maps tell the story. Cole has a great video here as well--it's whimsical and informative. Finally, another move by Cole in these maps is the scaling of elections at the level of the state by popular vote. This means that states that are more contested turn purple (half blue and half red) rather than the color of the winning candidate from the last election.
Right now, the conventional wisdom says that there are just nine states that might go either way on Nov.
Not all votes are created equally; votes in these 9 key states have a greater likelihood of impacting the actual outcome of the Presidential election. If we assume that the other states vote as anticipated, and that each candidate has an equal opportunity in the remaining 9 states (yes, these are a major assumptions, but work with me), than President Obama has a 84% likelihood of winning in the 512 possible permuations. Geographer Andy Baker has created a video that provides a solid non-partisan analysis of the political geography of these states (and other) states.
Theories about our right-wing and left-wing mind-sets don't explain why they are tied to geography.
While not endorsing all the cultural assumptions in the article, this is still an interesting exploration into expalining why distinct places are are politically aligned with particular parties.
Questions to ponder: What portions of the author's argument do you agree (or disagree) with? What do you see as the reasons behind the spatial distributions of "blue" and "red" in the United States?

The above map represents the last time the Republican Party won a presidential election in the United States. As the polls currently are projecting that President Obama will be re-elected, the most critical questions about the voting patterns for both parties are spatial in nature.

Aren't religion and politics supposed to be the two things we are counseled not to discuss to avoid controversy? This video hits on something that plays a role for both candidates in the 2012 presidential campaign in the United States: their faith and how voters perceive their faith. This video discusses Mitt Romney, Barack Obama and some past presidents' religious beliefs. I feel this video handles very controversial topics in a thoughtful and fair manner given that it treats various religious traditions and political ideologies in a non-partisan manner. The geography of religion might play an significant role in the outcome of the 2012 election.

What political books are residents of your state reading? A new interactive map from Amazon shows recent book sales broken down by either "red" or "blue" political leanings.
I do not think that "book sales" is a surrogate for "projected votes," but this is revealing about the political landscape and especially the marketing of politically partisan materials.
In the race to the White House, no ethnic group is more prized than Hispanics. President Obama ended deportations for some young undocumented immigrants, and the Romney campaign is vetting Sen.
This interactive map feature combines to interesting variables (at the county level): the percentage of the total population that is Hispanic, and the 2008 presidential election. Analyze your local area and a few counties as well. What connection exists between the two variables? How come? What are some exceptions to these general patterns?

President Obama and Mitt Romney are set to make appearances beginning Thursday at a major gathering of Latino officials and activists...
A core component of the 2012 U.S. presidential elections will be the demographic profile of both the Republican and Democratic Parties’ power base. For most of American history, the African-American population was the largest minority second to the Caucasian minority. Since the 2000 census, the Latino population has overtaken the African-American population as the largest minority in the U.S. How does this impact both parties? What are the strategies of both parties to appeal from a diverse set of voters? How does the immigration issue shape 'identity politics?'
Presidential candidate says Mexicans have voted for change of direction after exit polls project win for his PRI party.
For the first time in 12 years, Mexico's president will be from the PRI party (which dominated and led power from the 1920's to 2000). Enrique Peña Prieto won the election, in large part due to Mexico's dissatisfacation with the PAN's handling of the escalating drug violence. A few decades back, the PRI kept the violence out of the streets with some tacit agreements with the drug cartels to stay within particular territories.
An interesting case of identity politics is playing out in New York's new 13th Congressional District. A Dominican-American state senator is threatening longtime Rep. Charles Rangel in the district, which is now majority Hispanic.
Identity, whether it be be race, religious, color or creed absolutely matters in politics. Especially local politics where the demographics of a city or district play a major role in the viablity of a candidate. If the constituency perceives the candidate's cultural identity as either representing or not representing 'the people,' that can play a key role in the election.
With President Obama announcing that he now supports the legalization of gay marriage and Gov. Romney reiterated the GOP stance that marriage should be between a man and a woman, this sets the stage for a 'culture war' to be at the center of the 2012 election. While communities, churches and families may be split on this topic, there are some strong regional patterns that (given the electoral college) will have important political ramifications. As Jennifer Mapes stated about this interactive map, "it's useful in showing the geographic polarization of the country (coasts/center; urban/rural) as states strengthen laws that either allow for or restrict gay marriage/civil unions over the past ten years."

This video is a primer to how the ancient science of essential oils can “hack” brain biochemistry. It is a continuation to my recent article and video series on mental health that began with the popular antioxidant NAC (N-acetylcysteine).
NAC has recently been reported to provide benefit in alleviating symptoms associated with psychiatric disorders based on various clinical trials. This is a broader application than its most well-known cellular defender and liver sparing roles. The fact that a low cost, low risk intervention is being implemented and integrated in the area of psychiatry intrigued me. It made me want to dive deeper into the biochemical mechanisms of essential oils, my favorite wellness tool, for mental health.
In this 17-minute video, I first provide an overview of how essential oils can impact the brain and body simultaneously. I review their multiple effects from my years of research and writings. I also describe how this makes them a truly holistic modality.
Next, I take you on a journey to a (non-scary) destination of understanding brain biochemistry. Specifically, I discuss the role of brain chemical messengers and highlight some of the most popular neurotransmitters.
I know there are many factors linked to how the brain functions and realize that no one intervention can be used as a “cure” all. Still, by speaking the same “language” of brain biochemistry, it may help to bridge the gap between communication of holistic and conventional health care providers and their patients.
Watch this video to learn:
- The many roles of essential oils in mental, emotional, physical, physiological, spiritual, and relational health.
- The dual effects of essential oils’ aromas and volatile compounds.
- The importance of understanding neurotransmitters and their actions.
- How understanding the language of brain chemistry relates to more integrative approaches in mental healthcare.
- Neurotransmitters’ role and functions in our body and brain.
- The three ways neurotransmitters act at their destination and their classifications. (One of these relates to essential oils.)
- My NeuroTransit-Pedia© of the most popular neurotransmitters and their main effects which include:
- An introduction to how essential oils and their constituents can impact brain biochemistry.
- The three aspects of brain health: chemical, physical, and emotional and why there is no single “cure-all.” (Dr. Titus Chiu is the correct reference)

Why this book?
The book Washington chronicles the significant career of Meg Greenfield, an editorial page editor of The Washington Post. Greenfield, a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for commentary, wrote the book during the last two years of her life. Greenfield’s boss and close friend Katharine Graham contributed the foreword which provides context. Greenfield came to Washington in 1961 and was hired by the Post a few years later. Her editorials at the Post and her columns in Newsweek were witty and smart. Her stories provide a political picture of Washington, D.C. at the end of the American century. She was…
Gone Girl started the domestic suspense trend and showed us that suspense can be driven by family/household dynamics. Louise Candlish takes this to another level in Our House when the main character comes home to find another family moving into her house. She soon discovers that her husband has sold the house from under her feet and disappeared. This is a fantastic, slow-burn literary thriller with a great ending.
Writing a really good spooky short story is hard. Writing 13 of them is near-impossible. Yet Allen has put together an anthology of sheer terror, with each story hinging on something simple and mundane. Basically, Allen makes you afraid of everything, and does it with a smile.
Bricktown Boys is a story of a family in crisis from a boy’s point of view. Thirteen-year-old Sam Beasley lives with his dysfunctional mother, her abusive boyfriend, and drugs. He assumes the role of his mother’s protector and will do anything to save her from herself which is near impossible. Fanning gives us a counterpoint to Sam’s mother in Mrs. Coleman, the bible quoting, grammar stickler widow on his street. Mrs. Coleman is full of spirit and kindness, but also has a no-nonsense approach which Sam gravitates to. She is his rock in an upside-down world. This book has wonderful…
Personal History is Katharine Graham’s memoir. She became the first female Fortune 500 CEO when she took over at The Washington Post. From having Warren Buffet as a mentor to presiding over The Washington Post during Watergate, her life was absolutely fascinating. There is so much to learn about leading, women’s empowerment, and how we show up at work through Graham’s journey. What makes this book unique, though, is that in addition to being a classic in the women’s leadership genre, it’s as juicy and riveting as your best suspense novel.
Grossman achieves something remarkable in The Alphabet Man. The work manages to weave together visual, avant-garde graphic design, literary poetry, and a suspenseful thrilling plot. The book itself is gorgeous to look at it, and the text layout is designed as a work of art. Grossman seamlessly blends these disparate elements into a unified, unique creation that breaks the boundaries of what a novel can be.
This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral--Plus Plenty of Valet Parking!--In America's Gilded Capital
Why this book?
I’ve always had a fascination with America’s political capital, Washington, D.C.—the way it brings together some of the most brilliant and bombastic people in the universe, the way it serves as a petri dish of high-minded principles and low-brow appetites, the juxtaposition of glittering surface and seamy underside that made the early seasons of House of Cards so binge-able. In This Town, Mark Leibovich brings D.C. to life in a story that is at once stomach-churning, rage-inducing, and laugh-out-loud funny. If you’ve ever wondered what Washington is really like behind all the flag-waving and politicking, the talking points, and…
Parlor Politics: In Which the Ladies of Washington Help Build a City and a Government
Why this book?
So much of the early presidency took place out of “office hours.” Social events where women were present were considered apolitical and non-partisan, but of course, women had just as many opinions about politics back in the Early Republic as they do today! Instead, these events served as helpful venues for brokering deals, arranging political marriages, and securing appointments for friends and family members. Wives were also essential partners in campaigns and coalition-building once politicians were in office. You can’t understand the early presidents without understanding the broader social context as well.
Dederer’s book explores her sudden, mid-life yearning for carnal pleasure and compares them to her promiscuous youth. We see her sleeping with enough people in college to earn a recommendation on a park bench (“for a good time call Clare Dederer"), and also as a married mother and artist who longs for something more, but she’s not sure what it is. Punctuated with hilarious entries from her childhood journal, this book delivers on every level.
Dance of Days: Two Decades of Punk in the Nation's Capital

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Veterans gathered to honor the men lost during the battle of Iwo Jima. A flag raising ceremony was held in memory of those who fought in the battle.
After the ceremony, Congressman Paul Tonko, Albany County Executive Dan McCoy, and other officials spoke about the importance of caring for the veterans who fight for our country.
Albany County has introduced a new program for veterans that gives them property tax exemptions.
"If they serve, they bring their DD form 214 to their assessors where they live and they'll get a break on their taxes for the county, city, and they even get star exemptions too on top of that for the school districts," said County Executive Dan McCoy.
The deadline for eligible property owners is March 1st.

Long Story Short
Bad news, mountain man. Science says living at altitude might be bad for your mental health.
Do you live in a high altitude city? Did you move there for its health benefits? If so, you wouldn’t be alone. Higher altitudes have been associated with less risk of obesity, artery disease and stroke, to name just a few. But you might also have it twisted.
That’s the thrust of a story on Citylab penned by Hoehun Ha. Ha should know: he’s an associate professor of geography at Auburn University in Montgomery.
As part of an ongoing project, Ha and his colleagues examined all 3064 contiguous US counties, averaging out their altitude by splitting them up into 30 by 30-metre grids. They then cross referenced their findings with data from the National Centre for Health Statistics between 2008 and 2014. They also controlled for a bunch of different socio-economic, demographic and clinical factors, such as unemployment and the ratio of population to primary care physicians.
Ha and his colleagues found that for every 100 metre jump in altitude, suicide rates increased by 0.4 per 100,000 people.
As for what’s going on here, Ha’s entire piece is well worth a read, but he reckons it might have to do with hypoxia, or a deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the body’s tissues. The condition can have a negative effect on the body’s metabolism of serotonin.
Previous studies had already made the connection between a state’s altitude and its suicide rate, but Ha and his colleagues are the first to drill it down to the county level, which provides better granularity in the stats.
Don't think Himalayas is a good idea, after all?

Fran Silvestre Arquitectos Designs A Glass Walled Home Overlooking The Mediterranean Sea
Where the Turia River meets the Mediterranean Sea, Fran Silvestre Arquitectos has designed a minimal Spanish home with views of the water.
The arrangement of the ‘Hofmann House’ in Valencia was determined by the plot upon which it was built. Surrounded by gardens, the site is an unusual shape in an urban setting; elongated but large it features views of the Mediterranean at a distance, but also of the neighbors who sit close by. The architects refer to this positioning as the “lucky starting point” of the construction, and accordingly, the home was designed to amplify its natural surroundings whilst creating a feeling of seclusion for the residents.
Constructed in a T-shape, the geometry of the ‘Hofmann House’ was designed to “feel the sea”, whilst protecting the home from prying eyes, offering “the sense of living without neighbors”. Surrounded by a thicket of trees, the house has a sense of privacy despite its glass wall composition. The upper level of the house features an open plan living and dining area that unfolds onto a walkable rooftop with a lap pool. The lower levels, grafted into the rock, house a lounge, study, bedrooms and a bathroom.

The sensory park contain features that are accessible to the persons with disabilities such as scented plants, tactile sculptures and sculpted handrails, water features designed to make sound and play over the hands, textured touch-pads, braille signage and audio induction loop descriptions. At the Sensory Park, the equipment doubles up to provide an enhanced opportunity for strategic developmental, learning, and other educational outcomes. The design and layout provide a stimulating journey through the senses, heightening awareness, and bringing positive learning experiences.
The Park was inaugurated in December 2018 and since then has seen a steady stream of visitors from several disability rights organisations, schools for children with special needs and general public. Programs like Autism Awareness Week, story-telling and focussed learning visits are also undertaken at the park. The Sensory Park was established at a cost of Rs 1.37 crores under the Smart City Fund.
The Park was recently awarded with Government of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s recognition at the Independence Day program. With initiatives like sensory park, CSCL is hopeful of taking a step towards making Chennai a more inclusive and vibrant city with equal opportunities for persons from all backgrounds and abilities.

Mega Moolah did it again! The record breaking progressive jackpot slot made another multi millionaire. This time the jackpot was hit at €6,825,508.67.
At the time of writing the identity of the lucky player is completely unknown. We don’t know the country of the player, nor the casino where the jackpot was won. All we know is that the jackpot was triggered on the 6th April 2023. As per provider policy, all progressive jackpot winnings will be paid as a lump sum.
Released by Games Global (formerly Microgaming) in November 2006, Mega Moolah is one of the oldest and probably the most known progressive jackpot slot. The game features 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines. Mega Moolah also holds the world record for the biggest ever online jackpot win.
In April 2021, a Belgian player became the biggest ever single spin online slot winner by landing the mega jackpot on Games Global title Absolootly Mad Mega Moolah. The player who wanted to remain anonymous won the astonishing amount of €19.4 Million by betting €15 a spin. Since then the player holds the Guiness World Record for the “largest jackpot payout in an online slot machine game”.
The previous record maker was also Games Global’s Mega Moolah Slot with the reported amount of $20,062,600 (€17,879,645). In total Mega Moolah has paid out over €1 billion in jackpot winnings.
Games Global‘s industry-leading progressive jackpot network has already paid out over €30,000,000 to 850,000 winners this year so far. It will be interesting to see when the next multi millionaire will be made.
Actually the next record breaking win might just be around the corner. Games Global’s WowPot! is currently sitting at a record amount of €25,000,000. Winning this enormous jackpot would break all records.

The Wild Kingdoms Review
Many’s the day I spent in my childhood trying to combine my two favorite things: Card games and Chess. I never quite succeeded. When I first fired up The Wild Kingdoms for review, I found that I was clearly not the only one who had ever dreamed of combining these two disparate genres. But is The Wild Kingdoms everything I dreamed of?
Upon starting The Wild Kingdoms, you’ll likely be struck by the minimalist aesthetic. Black and grey are the main colors used, but it only serves to make the other more-sparsely used colors (typically on power up cards) stand out.
You’ll also notice that all of the cards that represent the various creatures under your control are not pencil sketches as they first appear, but are in fact made up of written words. I suspect it might be hard to make out some of the words on a cell phone screen, but on the iPad you are able to read them without much difficulty. However, this leads to one of my problems with the game. Namely, why are the cards made of words rather than simple pictures? Was it a mere stylistic choice? I got very excited upon seeing the word ‘Spacetime’ written on the face of one of the cards (the one used as the game icon, in fact) but the game doesn’t have any story or information along with it, so my curiosity goes unsatisfied. My initial excitement over the card design faded a bit once I found no reason for it to be presented in such a way.
Much like the graphics, there isn’t a lot to the audio in The Wild Kingdoms. However, that isn’t to say that what is there doesn’t add to the experience. The simple sound effects that represent your actions on screen are backed up by tribal drums and it serves to set the mood as well as one might expect. In a strategy card/board game, the audio likely won’t be he first thing on your mind as you play.
When the game begins, you are given a choice of using a 8-, 16-, or 24-card deck. Both players build a deck from a pool of identical cards, so the playing field is completely even from the beginning. After choosing your cards, you arrange them on the board, building your formation on the back two rows. Once both players have placed their cards, play begins. The game itself reminds me of a cross between Chess and Stratego, in that you can see what pieces the opponent is using and you have an idea of what their capabilities are, but each unit has different power values that it uses for attack and defense. Unlike either of those games, The Wild Kingdoms racks the HP of each unit, so a strong unit can be taken out by a coordinated attack or consecutive attacks by weaker units. Your goal is to kill a specific opposing unit, while protecting your own.
It’s the kind of game that you discover new strategies and more depth to as you play. The game is interesting enough that I would have liked to play it more on my own against the computer, but this isn’t currently an option. As of now, playing a local opponent or finding a Facebook friend who also has the game are your only options. I’ve asked the developer whether a single-player mode is potentially coming, and they have suggested that it may come in a future update if a community of people build up around the game and ask for the feature.
The Wild Kingdoms is a fun little card/board strategy game, but the inability to play against a computer opponent and the lack of a narrative framework for the interesting card designs holds it back from being an instant classic.

In accordance with the section 464 of the Local Government Act, a local government must hold a public hearing prior to adopting an official community bylaw, a zoning bylaw, or a bylaw under section 548 (early termination of land use contracts).
In December 2023, the Provincial Government implemented Bill 44 – 2023 Housing Statues (Residential Development) Amendment Act prohibiting local governments from holding public hearings for:
- Residential rezoning applications consistent with the Official Community Plan (OCP);
- Amendments to the Zoning Bylaw that facilitate small scale multiple unit housing; and
- Mixed-use projects that are consistent with the OCP, where at least half of the proposed gross floor area is residential.
Public Hearings are chaired by the Mayor or Acting Mayor and held to provide the public with an opportunity to convey their views on proposed land use amendments.

Hedgehog has to go away—for five long days—and Mouse has to stay at home alone. How they will miss each other! In alternating scenes, Hedgehog and Mouse count down the days, always thinking of their absent friend.
Five days until I see my mouse. Today I went to the beach where I found a seashell. I'm going to bring it home to my mouse.
Five more days until I'll see my hedgehog again. Every night at eight o'clock, I look at the bright star to the left of the moon. And then we think about each other.
But on the day of their reunion a misunderstanding finds them both all alone at the train station. Did Hedgehog decide not to return? Has Mouse forgotten him? Absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder in this sweet story.

Moritz Petz was born in Munich, Germany, and now lives in southern Germany where he is active in street and puppet theater. His books for North-South are Mona the Monster Girl and The Bad Mood!From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 1–Hedgehog and Mouse declare how much they miss one another during Hedgehog's five-day vacation at the shore. He thinks of her each day, and they exchange letters. He meets others on his trip, but soon realizes that he could never find as good a friend as Mouse. She thinks, Three days left until Hedgehog comes home. Full-bleed color illustrations face pages of text and a smaller picture. The tender artwork serves to move the story along to the penultimate spread, at the train station. Children can look for Hedgehog, who is partially obscured in one part of the scene, while Mouse searches in another corner. As the page is turned, readers are reassured that the friends find one another. In addition, young readers can practice counting back down from the five vacation days each time the story is repeated. Use this simple story with children who might be missing someone to give them the reassurance that the anticipated day will indeed arrive.–Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA

If you are running SIP devices behind NAT under release 12.3 you will be
faced with occasional (daily) router reboots triggered by a bus error.
It amazes me how I can run sip behind nat on a $59.99 netgear cable gateway;
however, insert a $10k router and watch it bounce. TAC says they have a

Where: Kyiv, Ukraine
What: Forogj Világ by Nox
Hungary is yet to really get the hang of Eurovision, but since their debut in 1994, they have had their moments. This little cracker from the 50th anniversary contest definitely qualifies as one of those moments, even though it didn’t manage to place in the top 10 in the final.
Having miraculously sourced the ’05 DVD in my nearest music store after becoming an instant ESC-addict in 2006, I remember watching the semi and having Nox hit me full on in the face (obviously not literally, although I don’t doubt the lead singer could sock me one if she wanted to. She is fierce) with the kind of up-tempo ethno-pop usually reserved for the likes of Greece, as well as some killer choreography…so killer, in fact, that I made it my mission to learn it so I could join in/look like an idiot the next time I watched the performance. Six years and many carpet burns later, I may not have totally gotten the moves down (what? It’s hard!) but I still love the entry. The year after Ruslana showed the rest of Europe how Eurovision is done, it was great to see other countries like Hungary follow her lead, even if they did give or take a pant leg in the process.
Contest: 47th –Tallinn, Estonia
Artist: Michalis Rakintzis
Result: 17th, 27 points
Greece is one of those golden, untouchable ESC countries. The ones that, no matter what they send – like, even if it was an ethno-rap song performed by a talent show winner and a man way too old to be wearing a baseball cap (as if…) – are guaranteed a place in the top ten. Right?
No. No they aren’t.
Nor are Greece always fronted by a young, hot, buff and tanned type wearing something short and tight. Sometimes, it’s an older, pastier guy wearing something that has to be seen to be believed (though I would describe it as the sartorial love child of a bin liner, and a set of knee pads, with a little tin foil thrown in for good measure – jealous much, Lady Gaga?). Sometimes, the song this Old Pasty Guy is performing is not an up-tempo pop song with added bouzouki for extra appeal, but more of a 1980s wannabe rock track with a chorus that makes most people with functioning ears want to un-function them.
Apparently, I am not most people, because S.A.G.A.P.O. is one of my guilty Eurovision pleasures. Enjoy it…or not.

Legendary vegetarian restaurant Hendersons will re-open this September on Edinburgh’s Barclay Place and whilst the interior refurbishment takes shape, owner Barrie Henderson has recruited two former chefs to head up the kitchen at the new venue.
Barrie Henderson, grandson of founder Janet Henderson, announced plans to re-establish the family business earlier this year following pleas from former customers, devastated by news of the closure of the city centre restaurants last year.
Now Barrie is has recruited some of the former Hanover Street venue's chefs to bring back the authentic taste of the veggie restaurant.
Head chef Paul Kayne was in charge of the kitchen at Hendersons Vegan whilst, Senior Chef Nives Arosio was in charge of cooking at Hendersons Salad Table.
After stints working in other vegan and vegetarian kitchens in Edinburgh, the pair have returned to Hendersons to develop menus that will reflect a modern approach to the vegetarian and vegan dining experience.

Barrie said: “Paul and Nives were the secret ingredients that allowed the old Hendersons thrive, and I couldn’t be happier to welcome them back.
"We’re currently working on refreshing the menus to include new dishes whilst tweaking some of our classics to make the all-day dining experience at the new site both approachable and affordable. We’re conscious that many of our returning customers will be eager to see their favourite dishes, but we’re also getting creative with exciting additions like smaller, more tapas-style dishes and our bakery offerings.”
Opening 7 days a week, the new Hendersons will serve food and drinks throughout the day with diners equally welcome to visit for coffee and cake, drinks and snacks, lunch or dinner. Breakfast will be introduced at a later date.


We all know that an air conditioner has one main reason – to keep you as well as your family nice and cool during the summer, or whenever you start to feel too hot. Not only that, for those of us living in tropical climates, a portable AC comes in handy during the rainy days where clothes are pretty difficult to dry naturally, so hanging them outside of the air conditioner unit’s compressor does the trick. And since you have your air conditioner turned on, it goes without saying you would have closed all the doors and windows so that it needs not work too hard and consume more electricity, and indirectly reduces the number of mosquitoes in the vicinity. Well, LG might be on to something here with their latest and most advanced residential air conditioner (RAC) that relies on ultrasonic wave technology which will help repel mosquitoes.
LG’s “Anti-Mosquito” air conditioner has proven itself in tests conducted in a Peet Grady chamber, where it is said to be able to deter on average 64% of malaria-transmitting female Anopheles mosquitoes within 24 hours, and achieved an overall rating of 82%. Not only does this offer you greater peace of mind, the LG Anti-Mosquito air conditioner will also carry with it all the other advantages found in LG’s AC technologies, meaning you get to enjoy powerful cooling and superb reliability even under extreme operating temperatures.
Jun-hwa Jeong, General Manager of Air Conditioning and Energy Solutions at LG Electronics, said, “In Nigeria, as well as in a number of other African countries, malaria continues to be a prevalent threat. LG takes great pride in tailoring products and technologies to the specific needs of consumers. By matching technologies directly to these region-specific challenges, we can create real solutions that will help bring about profound and meaningful changes to consumers. The Anti-Mosquito air conditioner is a great example of our commitment to improving both health security and the quality of life in Africa by applying technological innovations in intelligent ways.”
