Pagination or Media Count:
Tests were performed to develop appropriate calibration procedures to measure the dynamic response of a three-year-old dummy using acceleration measurements. The calibration procedure consisted of four parts Part I Head Impact tests, Part II Chest Impact tests, Part III Head-Neck-Pendulum tests, and Part IV Lumbar Spine Flexion tests. The data from the Head Impact test, Head-Neck-Pendulum tests and the Lumbar Spine Flexion tests gave repeatable data. The data from the Chest Impacts were inconsistent.

The dollar has been trading on a mostly softer tack, alongside the yen, with risk appetite picking up in global markets after U.S. President Trump returned to his White House residence and with the Democrats and Republicans showing signs of progressing another fiscal support package. The good mood has waned somewhat in early European trade, however, which has seen the dollar recoup a little. The USD index (DXY) posted a 15-day low at 93.35, which extends the decline from the two-month peak that was seen on September 25 at 94.74. EUR-USD matched yesterday’s 15-day high at 1.1798.

Online entrepreneurs and other business people who go on to realise success through running businesses through the web have figured it out, how it’s all about advertising. Okay, perhaps some couldn’t explicitly point to the fact that they essentially have the 4-1-1 on advertising being what it’s all about, but either way, successful online business operators are involved in advertising. In a nutshell, that’s why adverting is the biggest business in the world, but for those who need a little bit more convincing with some practical examples, it’s perhaps worth exploring some of the many reasons which come together to account for advertising being the biggest business in the entire world.
Without marketing there are no sales
Every single product or service that is sold on this earth is sold on the back of some or other advertising mechanism, whether this is a purposeful one or indeed if it was inadvertent. Sure, maybe the conscious advertising might be catered to once, to introduce the product or service to the market, but in order to keep the sales coming, each last performance of the product or service sold serves as a further advertising platform for repeat business or to draw new buyers.
If nobody sees what you have, which could be the best solution of its kind, nobody can buy it so it needs to be advertised in some or other way.
Advertising goes beyond just putting out commercials
When you write up your CV or resume, that’s a form of advertising – you’re advertising your skills to a potential employer, which you effectively want to sell to them. So it’s not just about putting out commercials or putting up billboards. Advertising is EVERYWHERE!
The biggest tech company in the world is an advertising company
Despite what the likes of Apple may have to say about that, the biggest tech company in the world is Google, which is now even just a subsidiary of its parent company, ALPHABET. The home page suggests that it’s nothing but the simplest of search engines, but Google’s whole growth and expansion model was build around selling Pay-Per-Click ads. You can learn about these businesses and their marketing strategies at Brand Stories.
The biggest industries in the world are driven by advertising
If you take a closer look at pretty much all the major institutions, such as sports for example. Even if you narrow the focus down to a singular league, like the English Premier League, what you’ll realise is that it’s underpinned by advertising, isn’t it? Sponsors pay insane amounts of money for their branding to be flashed in front of the eyes of millions of potential customers, while the stars of the show are advertising their skills and abilities, week-in and week-out…
Vendors will ALWAYS be compelled to try out some marketing campaigns
Some of those PTC (Paid-to-Click) sites Google hates so much (because they’re in direct competition with it) continue to live on beyond their 10-year+ history. This is because new vendors somehow find their way to these types of advertising platforms and at the very least give them a try. Success is not always guaranteed, but the product or service of advertising is always delivered.

People are coming home from vacations with non-traditional mementos of their time abroad. Rather than a keychain or some local candy, travelers are welcoming locals strays to join them in their lives back home. The process can be lengthy and not kind to your bank account, but it’s worth every penny.
These pups that people stumble across often are malnourished, neglected, abandoned, and abused. Cultures vary around the world and unfortunately, dogs are not always held in the same regard from one country to the next.
According to the Animal and Plant Health Agency, 34,144 dogs were brought into just the U.K. last year, including dogs who were being rehomed from rescues. Dogs are often quarantined for months at a time and the costs are hefty for vaccinations and medical tests before being allowed entry to their new home.
Max – Saved From a Chilling Fate
37-year-old Alex MacDonald rescued Max, a Husky-German Shepherd Mix from Hanoi, Vietnam. Alex had been there taking a break from his time as a pilot. Max was just two months old when Alex found him with his back legs tied together. He was bound together to prevent him from running away while he was fattened up to be eaten. The harsh truth is that dogs are considered a source of food for human consumption in Vietnam.
Alex couldn’t leave the helpless baby alone to suffer such an unsettling fate.
He told Daily Mail, “I knew I wanted to help this little dog. There was no life in him. His ears were down and he was just lying there with his legs splayed out. It was heartbreaking to see. I gave him some food and water and for the first time, his tail started to wag.”
Max’s new dad spent over $2,000 to bring Max home. The money went towards blood tests, vaccinations and therapy to help him recover from the horrific life he had known. Alex says it was worth every penny!
“He’s a very different dog from when I found him. He loves to walk, to sit with me, and sleeps in my room. He does, however, suffer from separation anxiety and is like my shadow, but I don’t mind. I would be lost without him.”
Troy – Dodging Cars Straight Into His Mom’s Arms
Paris Dewhurst was vacationing in Greece when she saw a dog dodging traffic on a busy road. She knew she had to act fast. Paris and her boyfriend, Levi Ellis, found the scared pup hiding by the road.
“I knew I couldn’t leave him. He was so thin and covered in sores. He could hardly stand he was so malnourished,” Paris told Daily Mail.
The daredevil dog was in such bad shape that the hotel Paris was staying in refused to let him in. He was covered in sores and was so malnourished that he could hardly find the strength to stand.
Paris searched for help on social media and was able to find an agency called Zante Strays that agreed to help her get the pooch home. She named the dog Troy and snuck him burgers from the hotel buffet to keep him alive until he could come home with her. Paris then tied Troy to a tree each night around 1:00 am and left him water and a towel to sleep on.
“I returned at 5 am and couldn’t believe what I saw. He had bitten through the rope but was sitting, waiting for me. He wagged his tail when he saw me. I cried and hugged him. I knew it was meant to be,” said Paris.
Troy made the 2,000 mile trip from Greece to his new home in England where he now has brothers and sisters to play with all day long!
Sandy – 2,300 Miles From Home
Amanda Williams was on vacation with her family in Turkey when a scruffy terrier stole her heart. The family of four was enjoying their last night of vacation while they waited for their hotel entertainment to start. A disheveled, light brown terrier wandered over and climbed into Amanda’s lap and it was love at first sight.
“She was just an adorable little thing, so calm and gentle. Thin, scruffy and clearly desperate for love. I asked in the hotel if they knew who I should speak to about adopting a dog. Luckily, there was a man who knew an animal shelter,” Amanda’s husband, David, told Daily Mail.
The family had to fly home the next day but they weren’t giving up. They named the dog Sandy and left her in the care of a local shelter until they could arrange to bring her home. Sandy had to receive vaccinations before she could make the trip. Just one month later in July of 2017, Sandy’s new dad made another 2,300-mile trip back to Turkey to bring her home.
“The journey took three days and cost £1,000. But she’s just a joy, so full of affection,” David told Daily Mail.
The family adored Sandy so much that they decided to welcome another fur baby from Turkey into their home!
Hercules – A Beachy Boy and Birthday Miracle
Emma Rosser and her husband Cyle were seven months into a ten-month European journey in their camper when four-legged fate walked into their lives. The couple was enjoying the sunset on a deserted beach in Greece when a stray dog wandered up and sat beside them in the sand.
Emma told the Daily Mail, “He looked like a golden retriever who’d been shrunk in the wash,’ she said. ‘It was as if he was a gift from the universe for my birthday. He circled on my lap and didn’t seem to belong to anyone. I began to fall in love with him.”
The couple took the young pup to a vet and found out he was just a baby. The ten-month-old puppy was treated for fleas and ticks, given a microchip and brought up to date on his shots. His new mom and dad gave him the name Hercules, fitting for the location he was found along with his strength and determination.
Hercules joined his new parents on the rest of their trip through Europe before settling into his new home in Wales.
Lucy – A Puppy in the Rough
Maureen Webb and her husband were exploring the Greek countryside when they heard a tiny bark squeak out of a bush. The couple discovered an emaciated puppy desperately panting in the intense heat.
“The puppy was just cowering there. Her tail had been pulled off and she was just skin and bones,” Maureen said.
Maureen and her husband, Gavin, were able to gain the tiny puppy’s trust. They carried her 10 miles back to their hotel and worked on finding a shelter that could take her in. There was just one problem- they couldn’t stop thinking about her!
The vet had told Maureen and Gavin that the baby was so malnourished that she probably wouldn’t survive the night. Against all odds, the determined girl pulled through. The couple paid to have her vaccinated, treated for worms and microchipped before bringing her back to their home in Yorkshire.
They named her Lucy and after a month at the shelter, Lucy was strong enough to be flown to Paris and then driven to Kent to meet up with her new parents.
“When we collected her, she was terrified… Now, when I walk through the fields, she’s always nipping at my wellies and running around. She is so happy,” Maureen said.
The fairytale endings for these babies just goes to show that you find love when you least expect it. No price, distance or obstacle is too much to overcome when there are four paws waiting for you on the other end.

Between the Revolution and the Feminism:Exploration and Analysis on Female Liberation of Xiang Jingyu
|Keywords||Xiang Jingyu Female Liberation Revolutionization Of Feminism Gender|
At the Yan’an commemoration meeting of Women’s Day in1939, Mao Zedongspoke highly of Xiang Jingyu in his speech. He said:“We should learn to the modelwomen leaders and women communists Xiang Jingyu who have sacrificed in the ageof revolution. Hers is life of struggle for the women’s liberation, the liberation of theworking people and the communism career.” That laid the foundation for her imagesof “women leaders”,“women revolutionist” and “women martyrs” which given fromthe later generations.In recent years, with the constant gender research and multi-perspectiveextension of character subject research in historical, The themes on relationshipbetween the revolution and feminism, feminist and revolutionary women, haveattracted the researchers and gradually became central points. In order to reveal XiangJingyu’ life，what claims and practices her feminism，I chooses Xiang Jingyu as theresearch object, discusses her female liberation, and explain her hidden identity, afeminist under “the revolutionary women”, through the angle of gender。On the ideology, Xiang Jingyu experienced the transformation from liberalfeminism to Marxism。Since then, the revolution and the female liberation havebecame her struggling theme. Through industriously exploring and deeply thinkingfor female liberation in the revolutionary struggle, She summed up the relativelycomplete theoretical system on female liberation. In this paper, I start from the basicspirit of feminist theory, and summarize the main idea of them: seeking benefits forwomen is the purpose of the movement; political revolution is the way of femaleliberation; paying attention to women’s education and publicity in the women’smovement. As a feminist, Xiang Jingyu’ female liberation thoughts reflects not onlyproletariat position，but also the pursuit of women’s special interests.In Chinese modern history, political revolution is the theme. Many socialphenomenons have to comply with the general trend, and attach to the proletarianrevolution, Although they have really existed and constantly developed. Under therevolution of the main tone, Instead of being revealed alone, they have been ignoredor hidden, which include feminism. Although her life is short, she devoted her wholelife to the revolution and female career. Her experiences can interpret the complex andsensitive relationship between the revolution and the feminism quite well. Byanalysing Xiang Jingyu’ feminist anxiety, I try to expound the revolution system which under the early leadership of the communist party of China. Then through theinterpretation of this pattern on female liberation, and the phenomenon of femaleindividual gender consciousness hidden, I mean to make the reader thinking aboutdeeper theses of female liberation.

Vivaldi: Concertos Pour Flûte à Bec
Vincent Lauzer, recorder; Arion Baroque Orchestra; Alexander Weimann, conductor
ATMA Classique ACD2 2760
By Andrew J. Sammut
Discs like this one give the lie to the idea that Vivaldi rewrote the same concerto several hundred times (or whatever Stravinsky supposedly said about him). The rich low strings opening up RV 312R’s central movement, the harmonic zig-zags of RV 441’s finale, the downright jarring dissonances of RV 442’s otherwise placid Largo, or the melody skipping over a glassy lake of strings in RV 443’s second movement are far from cookie-cutter devices. Vivaldi’s highly-structured, often virtuosic, and incredibly expansive catalog of works may sometimes blur together, but recorder player Vincent Lauzer and Canada’s Arion Baroque Orchestra illuminate its formal as well as its expressive variety.
Violist Jacques-André Houle’s liner notes explain that Vivaldi composed some of the most difficult works for the recorder of the Baroque era. Lauzer meets these demands with precision and polish throughout the recital, but it is obvious that he reads, hears, and feels through the racing arpeggios and stacked sequences into something deeply personal. From the first track on, he makes a real event out of Vivaldi’s ornate passages with subtle changes of articulation and rhythmic drive. The closing Allegro of RV 445 is a prime example of Lauzer handling even the most labyrinthine lines with care and attention to detail. His metronomic precision actually turns the rapid-fire chirps of RV 312 R’s finale into a riveting account rather than a mechanical exercise.
Lauzer’s tone on alto, soprano, and sopranino recorders is centered, full-bodied, and often beautifully vibrato-less. The contrast between Lauzer’s big, round sound and Arion’s drier strings on the opening Allegro Ma Non Tanto of RV 441 adds further textural as well as narrative interest. RV 441 turns into a miniature scena, recalling the composer’s lengthy theatrical catalog: Opening with divided strings wavering over and under the lead, Lauzer begins his solo in introverted fashion before dramatically opening up into sustained notes and descending runs. The subsequent slow movement finds him working with shadings of tone and dynamics. The final movement pits the orchestra and the soloist against one another in a heated dialog.
Arion also gets to really lock in with Lauzer in RV 312 R, as well as the duel in RV 441. The well-known La Notte concerto (originally composed for transverse flute) finds soloist and orchestra conjuring up some dreamy, haunted evening with creeping rhythms, muted strings, and staccato outbursts. Arion’s halting gestures and extreme dynamics sometimes come close to exaggeration, yet it is hard to fault these musicians’ obvious passion. The “Sonno” (Slumber) section also features some particularly evocative sustained chords. Most of the time, Arion is accompanying Lauzer rather than competing with him, and while the group never draws undue attention to its part, there is impressive musicianship at work underneath the soloist. Vivaldi would drop the continuo and use upper strings as the sole accompaniment on countless slow movements; Arion’s graceful strings chanting behind the soloist illustrate the sheer simplicity and power of this effect.
Vivaldi was often writing his concertos for the orphans of the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, for human beings he knew and with whom he no doubt developed personal relationships. The idea of a human printing press churning out repetitive works is not just unhistorical but misses the charm and invention of Vivaldi’s music. Lauzer and Arion provide strong advocacy for the Red Priest in their program selection and especially through these performances.

Storage startup Pliops has announced sampling of its Storage Processors to select tier-one cloud and enterprise companies and was on track to start commercial production of the processors later in 2020.
The Storage Processors ASICs are said to increase performance of NAND flash storage solutions, such as SSDs, by over 10 times and also decrease latency by up to 1000 times in various database applications.
“As the success of GPUs and AI processors has shown, there is a pressing need for specialized solutions that accelerate the pace of workflows,” noted Steve Fingerhut, president and chief business officer for Pliops. “Because data growth is absolutely booming at a time when storage and data processing is slowing, now is the time to take this approach and apply it to mainstream workloads like unstructured and structured databases, analytics and virtually any application that uses flash storage.”
The concept of Pliops’ Storage Processor (PSP) relies on software and hardware. The software layer consists of an NVMe driver as well as a Pliops Kernel Module that replace traditional storage engines thus removing ‘layers of the database, file, block, and storage management accumulated over decades by legacy architectures’ and eliminating bottlenecks.
Meanwhile, the ASICs designed to accelerate processing of data-intensive workloads (such as databases) offloads processing of compute-intensive functions from CPUs while using a fraction of power that a general-purpose processors need to perform the same tasks, the company said.
Applications accelerated by Pliops include MySQL, MariaDB, mongoDB, Redis, Oracle, Apache Spark, and Cassandra. The company emphasizes that deployment of its Storage Processor is relatively easy and does not require changes to ‘most’ programs that are in use today.
According to Pliops, increasing performance using its Storage Processors can reduce expenditures on CPUs and SSDs and even make lower-cost 3D QLC NAND-based drives viable for mainstream workloads. Furthermore, PSPs can also reduce power consumption of servers and datacenters. Reduction of hardware and power costs naturally lower overall costs and greatly increase value of solid-state storage.
Pliops has raised money from various companies and venture capital firms, including Intel Capital, Mellanox, Western Digital, Xilinx, SoftBank, Somv, and Viola Ventures.

Classes on Happiness, Creativity, and Collaboration
We have been spending a lot of time this week talking about our new goals for 2013, what projects we would like to make happen, and new ways of reaching out to artists. I for one, am blown away with all of the changes and growth that came in 2012, all of the projects, exhibitions, workshops, and partnerships that would not have been possible without the excitement and participation of viewers, artists, friends, and family.
As we begin this new year, we are propelled by the thought of reaching goals, finding happiness, and discoveries new ideas, which has become evident in the themes of our upcoming exhibitions and classes. I would like to spend some time sharing the upcoming events, and how we hope that these will renew a sense of creativity and motivation in all of us.
This past weekend, January 4-6th, Kali Ciesemier led a group of 18 illustrators and designers through a three day workshop focusing on art practice and happiness. The workshop was designed to push each artist to find their own unique needs, desires, and skills as freelance artists- what makes them flourish. It was an intense few days filled with lectures, critiques, and demonstrations led by Kali, individual studio time, group discussions, and guest artists; it was an overall inspiring and productive experience. The workshop will result in a gallery show that will accompany our January exhibition Message In A Bottle.
January 25th marks the opening of Message In A Bottle, an exhibition featuring original paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures exploring the ideas of hidden imagery and codes in art. This show ignites a sense of curiosity and slowness, transforming the audience into the clue masters and masterminds, as they unveil the tiny details and secret components of each work.
Accompanying the Message In A Bottle Exhibition, Lindsay Nohl will be leading a studio course on Codes, Symbols, and Cyphers. This class will explore how we keep secrets, codes and un-code messages; It is about the history and culture of secret keeping. Also, Tom Cassidy, a local poet, language connoisseur, and visual artists will be presenting on Visual Sound: a lecture and performance on slam poetry, stage mentalism, and hidden meaning.
February 1st Light Grey is hosting it's second all-night, work party: The Light Grey Lock-In. This event is near and dear to my heart, because I love the idea of collaboration, talking through ideas, and taking on those rough midnight hours together. It is such a struggle to keep moving on a project when you feel stuck and unsure, so we have created this event as a fun and lighthearted art gathering and studio session.
These are just a few of the immediate events we have on the way. We hope that the beginning of 2013 brings you all happiness and productivity.
I am going to write my social media essay soon. But I hope that info from https://nerdymates.com/blog/social-media-essay will be really useful for me.ReplyDelete

How to Play Online Poker
Playing online poker games is a lot like playing live poker. The big difference is, you can do it anytime, anywhere, stacking up real money winnings online while kicking back in your gym shorts on the couch. But of course, if you don’t know how to play online poker, you’ll need to get a little info before you dive in and start working over your opponents from around the world on our site. After all, knowing how to play is nice, but knowing how to win at poker is even better.
Poker Basics: How to Play Online Poker
While you might have played Five-Card Draw as a kid, the most common online poker games are a little different. In five-card draw, you get five cards dealt to you, decide which to keep and which to get rid of (or “muck”), and then get some replacement cards. You make the best poker hand you can, and then there are rounds of betting, and maybe there’s a showdown where you lay your cards on the table and pull in some real money..
In a flop game online, the poker rules are a little different. You’re dealt cards, but there are also community cards that are “flopped” in the center of the table. Players will ultimately make the best poker hands they can using their own cards as well as these community cards.
If you’re wondering how to play online poker, you might also want to know more about how you actually get to a table at our site. After you’re signed in at Ignition, there’s a lobby where you can pick what kind of game you want to play. Once you’ve chosen your game, you’ll be seated at a virtual table. At that point, how to play poker hands looks a lot like the games you might have played at home. There are other players seated around the table, and you’ll all get dealt some “hole” cards that only you can see. Rounds of betting will take place, and community cards will be dealt for all to see. There will be more rounds of betting until one player claims the “pot,” or central pool of chips that active players have bet during the hand. Once the pot is claimed, the hand is over and a new one begins. Ignition’s software will keep shuffling up and dealing 24/7 until you’ve had your fill.
Poker Variations: Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo Rules
If you want to know how to win at poker, you have to know how to play poker hands for the game type you choose. The most popular by far is Texas Hold’em. It’s the game you’ve seen on ESPN in the World Series of Poker for many years, it’s the game Matt Damon played in Rounders, and it’s just about as much crazy action as you can get in a poker game.
It’s also a way to win big. Like, really big.
Let’s go over the poker rules for each game type.
Each player at the table is dealt two hole cards that only that player can see. They might be promising, like two aces. Or they might look raggedy, like 2 7 off (a two and a seven of different suits). There will be a round of betting, and then anyone who hasn’t folded will see the flop – three community cards placed face up in the center of the table. There’s another round of betting, another community card (the “turn”), another round of betting where things are heating up, a final community card (the “river,” where one person’s dreams may come true while another’s are crushed), and then the last round of betting, where it’s put up or shut up.
After that, the winner takes all.
The basic strategy in Texas Hold’em is to play aggressively when you’ve got position (you get to act last in a round) or you’ve got decent cards. It’s also possible to slow play (i.e. pretend like your cards aren’t that good), but the danger is that people with inferior cards can skate by into future rounds for free. When you’re “out of position” (you have to act first in a round), or your cards aren’t that good, you’ll want to play conservatively.
There are endless variations to that guidance, but those basic principles are the foundation of all Texas Hold’em play. If you’ve got the goods, find a way to make people pay. If you don’t , either scare people off or get the hell out before it costs you too much.
Omaha is a lot like Texas Hold’em, except you get four hole cards to start instead of two. You can only use two of them to make your best five-card hand, ultimately, along with the three community cards. There’s still the same flop, turn, and river after that. Unlike Texas Hold’em, Omaha is usually pot limit instead of no limit. We’ll talk more about that below.
In Omaha Hi-Lo, the pot is split, with half going to the player with the best hand and half going to the player with the “worst.” There are special rules for the low hand that don’t count straights and flushes. These rules are born out of a game called California Lowball, but we’ll spare you the details for another day. The important thing to keep in mind is that you’re tracking two ways to win – the Hi and the Lo. If you’re still figuring out how to play online poker, save Omaha Hi-Lo for another day when you’re more confident in the rules.
Poker Betting Styles: No-limit, limit and pot-limit
Betting! This is where the rubber meets the road in poker. Knowing how to bet is a huge factor in learning how to win at poker.
Position and Limit Poker
Let’s talk about position. The “dealer button” will sit in front of a player. The player to the left is the “small blind” and the next one to the left is the “big blind. At a $2/$4 limit table, the small blind is $1 and the big blind is $2. These bets are placed into the pot (or “anted”).
Now the player to the left of the big blind is next to act or “under the gun.” They can 1) fold and get out of play, discarding their hand, 2) call by placing $2 in the pot, signifying that they are willing to play the hand, or 3) raise, placing $4 into the pot, signifying that they have strong starting cards. Other players will then act in turn with the same choices until the round ends. At a limit table, there is a cap on the amount that can be bet by each player and in total by all players, making this a safer option for those learning how to play online poker. On the turn and river, the caps are raised (often doubled).
In no-limit online poker games, the caps are gone. There’s no speed limit, no cops, and the road is all yours. Want to floor it and go “all in,” placing your entire stack in the pot? You can do it right away. Your first move can be to put everyone to an incredibly uncomfortable decision for all their money, if you’re a gunslinger. Or, you can test the waters with a smaller bet and see how it goes. Everyone has total freedom to make whatever bet they want. If two people have amazing hole cards, you might even see them both be all in pre-flop, especially in a tournament, where AA v KK is an all-too-common sight.
No-Limit is where the men are separated from the boys at our site, and where you can double up in an instant, if you’re wise. You can also scare the crap out of your opponents with huge bluffs that no one has the guts to call. No Limit is a huge game for crafting your own style: bold and brash? Lying in wait like a cobra ready to strike? Soaring above like an eagle, picking off small opportunities here and there?
It’s all you, captain. You’ll figure out how to play poker hands your way and win real money..
Let’s keep it simple. In pot-limit poker, you can bet up to the amount of the pot, instead of there being no limit. Omaha is often played that way. It’s a pretty straightforward compromise between limit poker, which can be a little slow sometimes, and no limit, which can be too much action for people who need a more chill poker session.
Poker Tournaments vs Cash games: What Should You Play?
As you figure out how to play online poker, you’ll probably play a mix of tournaments and cash games. Cash games let you come and go as you please, playing totally on your own schedule. Sit down for as many hands as you like and get up whenever you want. With Ignition’s Quick Seat, you can get in with lightning speed, so it’s super convenient.
Tournaments offer an amazing tradeoff, though. Agree to sit and play out the whole tourney, and your reward can be a massive payout. You’re in for the long haul, but if you make it to the final table and pull off a win, you can earn the paydays that dreams are made of. You can even win entries into even bigger tournaments (poker tournaments that get you entry into other tournaments are called “satellites”). Once you know how to win at poker, tournaments will offer you some of the most exciting play you can handle.
So those are the basic poker rules! When you’re ready to take a seat and have a ton of fun, hit us up!When you’re ready to get in the game and start raking in those chips, wWe’ll have your seat ready (the drinks will have to come from your own bar).

Strange residue in Giannoni heat exchanger
Hello, Tim. There is this strange combustion residue build-up happening in gas fired boilers (don't know about propane) with the Giannoni-type heat exchanger which has flat stainless steel coils spaced close together forming a cylindrical combustion chamber. The cylindrical surface burner resides in the middle of this.
The residue looks variously like coffee grounds or mouse droppings. It builds up and blocks flow of combustion gasses, affecting efficiency and soon bringing the boiler to a stop. Some boilers produce a lot of it, some very little.
I can't get the boiler manufacturer to admit knowing what this stuff is or why it should form only in this type of heat exchanger. They tell me it has to be something in the gas as they know this doesn't happen in Europe with the same product.
Do you know?

I gave up on mine. One of my 4 worked fine from day one. The other 3 routinely turned on and off by themselves. Even after upgrading the firmware numerous times.
I went through weeks of my own troubleshooting. If you search the forum you wil find the thread but to summarize…
Put them all on a UPS(pure sinewave APC smartups).
Ran wireshark to monitor the connection for a weekend. I found they would reboot for no reason and then turn on even though their last mode was off. The reboot seems to do with them losing the IP address. I know its not my router as the router had requests from the bulb, nothing about the router dropping the connection.
I took one apart and dumped the eprom code and found what looked like data corruption to I took apart my good one and dumped its eprom too. When comparing the data was definitely different(aside from the mac ids). It looked to me that the firmware update was not working right.
My semi-educated guess is the ESP-Wroom-02 controller is not as compatible with their system as they expected. Meaning that if the firmware mucks up when updating, there is no way to fix that OTA. I also know many people have no problems which is great for them. Those of us who have bulbs turning on for no particular reason are pretty frustrated at this point.
I copied the firmware from the good bulb to a bad bulb after using an espressif utility to wipe the controller code. That bulb has been OK since.
The whole experience was pretty frustrating for me. I opened a support ticket and didn’t get any reply for 2 weeks until I opened another and made a mild stink. They were polite and tried their best I guess, but nothing was ever resolved by them on their end. To this day the ticket is still probably open and I have 2 bulbs that are no good. Technically I violated the warranty anyway by troubleshooting but no one was helping to I had to help myself.
I ended up buying another brand of tunable(warm to cool white) wifi bulb and they are working fine. AOCOCR was the brand.
This is probably unrelated but the outlets are using the ESP8266 instead of the ESP-WROOM-02. I wonder if that’s due to the bulbs? More likely its what the company who made the outlets for Wyze wanted to use. I will say the outlets have been working fine so far.

TVR Griffith 400
(1964 to 1967)
The standard engine in the 400 was the more powerful Ford 289 'HiPo' Windsor engine w/271 hp that was available in the Series 200 as an option. The 400 weighed a few more pounds than the 200 due mostly to the new Salisbury independent differential that gave it a higher gear ratio providing it with a higher top speed.
As the Series 400 cars were being produced in early 1965, the entire east coast of the US was crippled by a prolonged dock strike. This not only caused a disruption in the supply of the series 400 bodies that were being shipped from TVR in Blackpool, UK, it also caused a delay in the shipment of the newer body design of the Series 600. Frank Reisner, whose Intermeccanica body works in Turin, Italy, was building the new steel bodied Griffith, was also unable to have the bodies shipped. Jack Griffith attempted to bring his car to the public by having these bodies airlifted across the Atlantic.
With only 59 copies of the 400 and 10 600s off the assembly line at the Griffith factory in Plainview, Long Island, N.Y, USA, the company was dissolved.It's to be noted that Grantur Ltd. of England designed the independent suspension for the TVR automobiles which later became the Griffith 200 and 400. What makes the Griffith 400 a Cobra killer is the unequal wishbone suspension on all four corners and weighing a couple of hundred pounds less than a Cobra. Many people are not aware of the sophisticated Formula One type of suspension system on the Griffith's. Furthermore, with a center of gravity below the ground it is basically a legal race car for the road. As stated above some people refer to the Griffith 400 with its original kamm tail effect as the King of the middle sixties A Production sportscars. See: 2011 Silverstone;Gentlemen Drivers;UK and one will see one blue Griffith 400 beat a host of Shelby AC Cobras,Jaguars,Aston Martins, Corvettes,Ferraris,and Porsches. It's to be noted that the Griffith 400's are so fast that they run the fastest of the qualifying times and usually are with the superfast Ford GT 40's. See: Six hour GT 40 race at 2011 SPA Francorchamp.
- Engine capacity: 4,722cc/289 cid V8
- Power: 271 bhp (202 kW; 275 PS)
- Top speed: Approximately 155 mph (249 km/h)
- Transmission: 4-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive
Others say that there were 203 1964 Griffith 200's built and that in 1965 there were 58 Griffith 400's built before the end of the Griffith tho a few cars were sold after that as later model year cars. In fact the car was very crude, very lighly built, very cramped inside, very hot and due to being designed originally for various English 4-cylinder engines of roughly 100 hp and then having an engine of more than double the power installed it just was a very crude car that made a fast race car - it had some racing success but had variable reliability. The Griffith was one of the many hibred European cars with American V8 power and some were more successful than others. See also the Iso Rivolta, Shelby AC Cobra, Sunbeam Tiger, Intermeccanica and later the DeTomaso Pantera and several others.
The references made to the Griffith are somewhat factual in performance and body fit but the following facts are part of the complete history of the Griffith Motorcar.
1: The engines used in the Griffith were Ford 289 ci Windsor engines, so called because they were produced in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. These excellent, lightweight engines were available in various displacements and degrees of tune in nearly every model car and truck that Ford built throughout the sixties, seventies, and eighties. The original Griffith, the Series 200, was named because the car was originally powered by a 200 horsepower engine that featured one 2-barrel carburetor, while the 225 hp or the legendary 271 hp 'HiPo' motors with their four barrel carbs were optional.
2: There were 192 Series 200 cars built at the Syosset and Plainview Long Island, New York plants and 59 Series 400 cars built at the Plainview plant as well as ten of the continuation Series 600, Cumberford-designed and [Frank Reisner] Intermeccanica-built cars produced.
3: Though the Griffith was produced in a relatively small quantity, total production of the three series being 261, it would provide the hinge-pin for moving the TVR marque from that of a four-cylinder little British sport car to a very overpowered and superior competition vehicle, a reputation that has lasted into the racing records of the 21st century.

I was asked several weeks ago if you can cut a specific shape from a sheet of decoupage and if so how?
In this video I try and show the process I would use to cut a custom shape from a patterned piece of paper.
I didn’t have any decoupage sheets so Ive had to improvise and show how it can be done, using a heavily patterned sheet of vellum.
As you will see from the video the bounding box you drag around your design can have an affect on what the ScanNCut sees to cut.
This is what I cut out, they are in reality a lot paler in colour than they look here and the SNC did a great job recognising the shapes and fussy cutting them.
The video is Here
I hope it helps.


LG has announced yet another variant of their LG G3 flagship smartphone. This new version is dubbed the LG G3 A and falls somewhere in between the LG G3 and the LG G3 Beat. The G3 A will come equipped with a 5.2-inch display running at 1920 x 1080 resolution powered by a Snapdragon 800 processor clocking in at 2.26 GHz. The G3 A will come with a little less memory, only 2 GB of RAM, but otherwise most of the specs are the same including a 13 MP rear camera with laser auto focus. LG says they have added some new software to this version that will give users some control over functions via wrist movements while holding the device.
It is not entirely clear, but the initial impression is that LG plans to make this version only available in South Korea starting some time later this month. They have announced it will be available through SK Telecom and that may be exclusive for at least a little while. The device will only be available in Titanium and White initially.

History and cultureEdit
In 1833 local chief Wiremu Kīngi Moki Te Matakātea held off a war party from Waikato for several weeks with a single musket, and eventually triumphed. The site of Te Namu Pā is along the coast, just north of the town.
The town was first settled by Europeans in the 1860s, when British army soldiers landed at Ōpunake in April 1865 in the Second Taranaki War. By May, soldiers had constructed the Ōpunake Redoubt, where 350 soldiers were stationed. In May 1867, the redoubt was gifted to Wiremu Kīngi Moki Te Matakātea's people, and the area became a location for flax mills, outside European influence. British soldiers re-established a presence at the redoubt in 1875, and the area became a rallying point for soldiers during the invasion of Parihaka. By circa 1887, the redoubt was abandoned. Ōpunake was intended to be a major port but, other than a jetty constructed in 1891, little else was completed.
Ōpunake has two marae. Ōeo Marae and Tipua Horonuku and Tipua Hororangi meeting houses are affiliated with the Ngāruahine hapū of Ngāti Tamaahuroa me Tītahi. Ōrimupiko Marae and Ōhinetuhirau meeting house are a meeting place for the Taranaki hapū of Ngāti Haumia, Ngāti Tamarongo and Ngāti Kahumate.
Ōpunake is home to two pā. Te Namu Pā in the North West along the Otahi Stream and Te Namu road. As well as another pā in the South East which can be found along Park Pl near the Constabulary Cemetery by the lake. The condition of these pā vary, Te Namu Pā is mostly held up, the village and trenches no longer exist. However little remains of the pā in the South East.
History of Te Namu PāEdit
Wiremu Kīngi Moki Te Matakātea led 120 men in a battle at Te Namu Pā against a Waikato contingent numbering approximately 800. The Waikato raid was unsuccessful and eventually retreated; those who were left behind were cremated in front of the pā. Wiremu Kīngi Moki Te Matakātea and his men won the battle partly because of the Geography and because of the singular musket that they had. The only entrance to the pā was accessible by following the Otahi stream around the back of it along a narrow walkway. The pā was attacked 5 times by Waikato forces with no success. Te Namu Pā is also rumoured to be named 'Kaiaia'.
"Greg O'Brien, poet, painter, editor and journalist, remembers Te Namu's association with Parihaka. He wrote: "my mother recalls an elderly aunt's recollection of the Parihaka siege—her description of a line of women singing, surrounding the settlement as the troops approached.) What escapes us, the land, kumara-pitted, remembers—adze heads recovered from among boulders, the faded shadows that were trenches around Te Namu pa. The site of the first fighting between British infantry—the 50th Regiment, ‘the Dirty Half Hundred’— and Maori.""
The Ōpunake urban area, which covers 3.77 km2 (1.46 sq mi), had a usual resident population of 1,401 at the 2018 New Zealand census, an increase of 66 people (4.9%) since the 2013 census, and an increase of 36 people (2.6%) since the 2006 census. There were 570 households. There were 681 males and 720 females, giving a sex ratio of 0.95 males per female. The median age was 44.2 years (compared with 37.4 years nationally), with 282 people (20.1%) aged under 15 years, 216 (15.4%) aged 15 to 29, 597 (42.6%) aged 30 to 64, and 303 (21.6%) aged 65 or older.
Ethnicities were 76.0% European/Pākehā, 37.7% Māori, 2.4% Pacific peoples, 3.4% Asian, and 1.9% other ethnicities (totals add to more than 100% since people could identify with multiple ethnicities).
The proportion of people born overseas was 11.6%, compared with 27.1% nationally.
Although some people objected to giving their religion, 50.1% had no religion, 36.4% were Christian, 0.6% were Hindu, 0.2% were Buddhist and 4.7% had other religions.
Of those at least 15 years old, 120 (10.7%) people had a bachelor or higher degree, and 351 (31.4%) people had no formal qualifications. The median income was $23,000, compared with $31,800 nationally. The employment status of those at least 15 was that 417 (37.3%) people were employed full-time, 189 (16.9%) were part-time, and 54 (4.8%) were unemployed.
Ōpunake is the centre for the local dairy industry, and is also a popular tourist spot. The beach is composed of volcanic blacksand and there are large rock pools to be found on the north-west end of the beach at low tide.
The Ōpunake and surrounding community has a South Taranaki District Council LibraryPlus, which provides full library and Council related services.
The Ōpunake murals, located on the main road in the town, reflect the town's farming history, Māori culture and modern history.
Opunake School, St Joseph's School, and Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Tamarongo are full primary (years 1-8) schools with rolls of 181, 74 and 11 respectively. St Joseph's is a state integrated Catholic school. Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Tamarongo is a Kura Kaupapa Māori school which teaches in the Māori language.

Romney’s Dependency on Rightwing Cliché and Errors of Historical Fact Won’t Deliver Him (Political) Recovery
My experience has taught me that government works best when it creates the space for individuals and families to pursue success and achieve great things. Economic freedom is the only force that has consistently succeeded in creating sustained prosperity and lifting people out of poverty. It is why our economy rose to rival those of the world’s leading powers — and has long since surpassed them all.
The dreamers and the entrepreneurs, not government, built this economy, and they can once again make it strong.
My course for the American economy will encourage private investment and personal freedom. Instead of creating a web of dependency, I will pursue policies that grow our economy and lift Americans out of poverty.
My five-point plan will deliver the economic recovery we’ve all been waiting for and the jobs millions of Americans still need. This can be more than our hope; it can be our future. And it can start this November with your vote.
— Romney: I’ll deliver recovery, not dependency, Mitt Romney, USA Today op-ed, today
Of all the many oddities of Romney’s cartoonish campaign and cartoonish campaign persona, the strangest, I think, is his penchant for stating loopy conclusions based upon a single fact that does not even conceivably support the conclusion. This tactic (if that’s what it is) has been the hallmark, the very essence, of his campaign.
Last week I questioned whether Romney was a habitual liar or, instead, simply God-awful stupid. In light of the events of this week—the infamous surreptitiously-filmed fundraising address about the 47% of Americans whom Romney will never be able to convince should take personal responsibility for their lives and their care and who correlate precisely with the 47% of the electorate who are Obama supporters, and his “doubling down” on those comments since release of the video—I think it’s clear that while some of Romney’s incessant wild extrapolations and conflations are part of bizarre campaign tactic, some of the most important ones are not. They are, rather, the result of jaw-dropping stupidity—an apparent genuine inability to understand the meaning of single facts and to distinguish between entirely separate concepts.
Not least of these, of course, is that Americans whose income is too low under the tax code for them to owe income tax necessarily don’t take personal responsibly for their lives and for their care, and that since the percentage of Americans who don’t pay income tax is about the same as the percentage of voters who, polls show, support Obama, virtually all people who don’t pay income taxes are Obama supporters, and virtually no Obama supporters pay income taxes. Warren Buffett must have an income too low to require him to pay income taxes.
Also not least is Romney’s inability to distinguish between a plan—specifics, supported by empirical evidence—and ideological clichés that consist entirely of generic declarations and supposed results. Placing bullet-point indicators in front of five such declarations doesn’t transform them into a plan. If he actually has a plan—specifics, supported by empirical evidence—then he should disclose it. Economic plans are, after all, not tax returns, although it’s no longer surprising that Romney can’t distinguish the two.
But most disconcerting is Romney’s out-of-nowhere, patently false insistence, repeated time and again, that “our economy rose to rival those of the world’s leading powers — and … long since surpassed them all” during a period of lower taxes on the wealthy than we have now—a period of a less-progressive tax code and more inequality. In other words, during a time when we had, according to him, more economic freedom, than we do now.
It’s long past time for the Obama campaign to educate the public about 20th century American economic and political history. And to challenge Romney’s intellectual capacity to recognize what facts he needs to know before making important assertions, proposals and decisions, and to understand what those facts indicate or don’t.
Until very recently, I had presumed that Romney was only pretending to think that ideological bromides were actual facts. I know better now. And the most effective ads that the Obama campaign can run will show Romney for the intellectual lightweight that he is.


, Real Madrid to Try Again for Manchester United Keeper Despite Soured Relationship,
Real Madrid are pondering an audacious £60m bid for Manchester United goal-keeper for one last time. Both clubs have seen their smooth relationship gone sour in the last few weeks after Real Madrid refused to sell Morata to Manchester United. They have both enjoyed a smooth relationship having had few players transferred between each other with Real Madrid proving to be the most beneficial between the two of them.
Man United refused to sell the De Gea during the deadline of the 2015 summer transfer when Louis Van Gaal was still the boss, and ever since, it doesn’t look like there’s going to be any player transferred between the two ever. Man United was forced to pay £75m pounds for Romelu Lukaku, a fee much higher than what they are offering to secure the service of Morata from Real Madrid.
Despite Real Madrid’s unwillingness to sell, Man United are also unwilling to match their asking price for the player because they felt such a huge Price Tag can be detrimental to the success of the player who has no experience in the English Premier League.
Despite having good replacements, Manchester United are unwilling to let their first choice keeper leave, not especially for Real Madrid. But it is still a long summer and there seem to be alot of drama in football these days. You never can tell, United may want to cash in to balance the book

Going green got a new meaning as the slime level reached new highs at the 20th Annual Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards held Saturday night at UCLA. To the glee of the teen and tween crowd in house and at home, an impressive array of big and small screen stars were served up for sliming during the two-hour televised show. Among those targeted by the green, sticky liquid during the star-studded event were host Justin Timberlake, Vince Vaughn, Mandy Moore, Jackie Chan, Tobey Macguire, Chris Tucker and Steve Carell.
A world record was set with a never-before-attempted slimy feat in which daredevil stuntman Ron Jones bungee jumped from a height of 225 feet and plunged into a five-foot deep bucket of Nickelodeon's signature green slime. Ryan Seacrest provided colorful commentary for this sixth World Record Slime Stunt.
Throughout it all, stars were honored with the coveted orange blimp award. Nick viewers determine winners and this year more than 40 million kids cast votes in 16 categories to honor their favorites. In animated related honors, top animated feature went to HAPPY FEET and in accepting the award, actress Nicole Kidman announced that the blimp would sit next to director George Miller's prestigious Oscar statue. SPONGEBOB SQUARE PANTS took Best Cartoon for the fifth straight year while CREATURE FROM THE KRUSTY KRAB nabbed favorite videogame. Queen Latifah was singled out for her voice work in ICE AGE: THE MELTDOWN.
Big screen winners included THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST for Favorite Movie. Dakota Fannning was named Favorite Female Movie Star and Adam Sandler for Favorite Male Movie Star.
In music, the Black Eyed Peas won Favorite Music Group and Beyoncé was singled out as Favorite Female Singer while her song "Irreplaceable" won Favorite Song. Host Justin Timberlake took the blimp for Favorite Male Singer.
For television honors, AMERICAN IDOL was named Favorite TV Show. Miley Cyrus won Favorite Television Actress for her title role in HANNAH MONTANA while Favorite Television Actor went to Drake Bell for DRAKE & JOSH.
Other awards went to Shaquille O'Neal for Favorite Athlete and Favorite Book once again was awarded to the HARRY POTTER series.
The Wannabe Award, an annual honor bestowed on a celebrity role model whom kids most "want to be," went to Ben Stiller and was presented by last year's Kids' Choice Awards host, Jack Black.
The sixth annual burp contest resounded with a new twist, as two-time Burp Award winner Timberlake was challenged by an unusual opponent: all the kids in the audience. Not surprisingly, the kids handily outnumbered and outburped Timberlake, stripping him of his title.
Live performances included Grammy Award-winning superstar Gwen Stefani singing the title song from her new album, THE SWEET ESCAPE. Grammy Award-winning Maroon 5 presented brand-new single MAKES ME WONDER, performing it for the first time on live TV.
KIDS CHOICE AWARDS: BEST OF THE MESS, a 30-minute program of highlights, will air Tuesday, April 3 at 5 p.m.; Thursday, April 5 at 8:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 7 at 12 p.m. and Sunday, April 8 at 5:30 p.m. (all times are ET/PT).
